A very convenient bodega once occupied this corner of Commerce and St. Mary’s Street in Downtown San Antonio where the bar now stands. A lot of great memories of walking across the street from the hotel we would stay at and go and get those late evening snacks whenever we took our yearly weekend trips to this beautiful city. I know the hotel has its own little convenient store, but sometimes you just wanna feel like a local. It was a true comfort. A lot of things can change when you haven’t visited in 3 years. Oh well, I really like that place. I did miss it
The Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, near Kiruna, Sweden. Everything is made of ice, including the bar and the drinking glasses. One pub where you definitely leave your coat, hat and gloves on.
I was puzzled by those chevrons along the flanks of this Bar-tailed Godwit in Norfolk as none of the other "Barwits" looked like this. It certainly did not look like any of the illustrations in the Collins Guide, so when I got home I checked the ID Handbook of European Birds, and there it was. It is an adult female still in breeding plumage. Males acquire a red colouration all over the underparts but females are variable, some with a bit of orange, and some pale birds just like this. There is a slight hint of peach on the belly, but in the field it looked creamy. An additional pointer to it being a female is the very long bill, which are a bit shorter in males. There is actually an optical illusion here that makes the tail look like a Black-tailed Godwit. But if you zoom in it is the right wing-tip you are seeing, rather than the tail.
The nominate subspecies that occurs in winter in Britain (Limosa lapponica lapponica) breeds patchily on tundra in northern Scandinavia east to Russia's Yamal Peninsula. It winters around the coasts of Britain and the Low Countries down to Africa. According to the BTO there are about 30,000 individuals wintering in Britain, with two thirds of these inhabiting The Wash. It was always assumed that European wintering birds were all of this western subspecies. But genetic work published recently in Ibis (2025) shows that large numbers of subspecies taymyrensis from further east make up the majority of European wintering birds. It suggests that the entire population of the nominate subspecies lapponica only numbers 30,000 individuals, which is much rarer than previously thought, which was 150,000 to 180,000 individuals. Birds of subspecies taymyrensis are just slightly larger than nominate lapponica but also differ genetically. However, they do not differ genetically from the doubtfully distinct subspecies yamalensis, which breeds between the other two subspecies in northern Russia.
Bali is famous for being the place to be when it comes to surfing and yoga!
Visitors are also blessed with magical jungle resorts for very affordable prices! This is a bar area of one of these resorts close to Ubud, the capital of Yoga.

BAR 80 is on an Eastbound working at Goodman Street Yard in Rochester, NY on May 8, 1979. After I got my first SLR camera I kept the old Graphlex in the glove box of my truck. I would use it if I came across something when I was out and about, in this case on my way to work. I always checked what was around the East end of Goodman Street Yard on my way in to work. I could grab a quick pic or two and then head over to work.

A confession - I made the ripples by moving in the water.. The wind refused to blow.
This big alligator was lounging in the grass next to the (appropriately named) Alligator Alley walking path at Circle-B-Bar Reserve. It was a nice day and there were a lot of visitors. This was not the first alligator sunning along the path but so far none had been adventurous or seemed to mind people walking by. This one, on the other hand, was none too happy with the attention it was getting. A group of people had gathered on each side of the alligator afraid to try to walk by it because most of us were concerned it might not be as passive as the others had been; and, rightfully so because the alligator began to lift up and hiss at park visitors. Myself and my partner lingered a good distance back to see if the alligator would scurry off into the water, ready to turn back if necessary, but the alligator stood its ground for a while. Among the group was what I can only describe as Florida Man, those who live in Florida or who have read some of the stories written about Florida Man's antics will understand. So we will call this park visitor Florida Man. Florida Man was with his family including a baby in a stroller. Well, Florida Man got tired of waiting on this hissing alligator and after a while decided the best way to scare it off was to take his baby in the stroller and walk right on by it. I will give Florida Man credit because it worked. The alligator turned tail and ran off into the lake, but even knowing that alligators are generally afraid of humans I would not have taken that chance with my child.

On the helipad, you will get a stunning 360-degree view of KL city. The sunset here is definitely Instagram-worthy, and you don’t even have to use a filter (provided there’s no rain, of course). The downside is that everyone is so busy taking pictures that it can be quite a distraction if all you want is to sit down, have a drink and enjoy the scene
