A confession - I made the ripples by moving in the water.. The wind refused to blow.

Not many times you get the opportunity in December in Northumberland to photograph both species of Godwit

The Palace Bar is one of Dublin's oldest, most beautiful, and most respected Victorian pubs, located on Fleet Street, right on the edge of the Temple Bar district.
History and Style: Opened in 1823 and bought by the Aherne family in 1946, the Palace Bar is one of the last original Victorian pubs remaining in the city, known for its high ceilings, dark wood, gilded mirrors, and largely untouched interior design.
Literary Associations: The pub is famous for its long literary tradition. During the 1940s and 50s, it was the regular haunt of Irish Times journalists and celebrated writers like Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Behan, and Flann O'Brien. The small snug (private booth) is even rumoured to have been used by Michael Collins for meetings during the War of Independence.
Quiet Atmosphere: Unlike many Temple Bar pubs, The Palace Bar retains its traditional character by choosing not to have live music or televisions (other than for major GAA games). The focus is on conversation, debate, and craic (atmosphere).
Whiskey: The pub is widely known as an excellent whiskey bar, boasting an impressive collection of Irish whiskeys, including some of its own limited-edition bottlings.

En Toledo; una gran idea; el bar se llama Círculo de Arte, Se organizan exposiciones, actuaciones de grupos noveles, hay buen café y copas a buen precio... y una música excelente, nada de Bisbaleo. Todo en la antigua iglesia de San Vicente. A ver si en mi pueblo hacen lo mismo.
A very pleasant cafe-bar in Barcelona. Here, we are looking at the ceiling above the counter and the wall above that. The lights illuminate the counter.
They say if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change. That was definitely true while waiting for job 1 to arrive at Onawa with the weather ranging from sunny to snowing in less than five minutes. The only consitancy was the wind and the fact that it was a cold wait. The weather settled on being cloudy as the CMQ's Bangor & Aroostook heritage 9017 lead job 1 across the Onawa trestle with the 9010 and 3812 pulling 52 cars.

It was great to get to see this godwit again. We had a chance to see one three years ago in Alviso but at a greater distance. Would love to see one in breeding plumage, they are quite beautiful.
The Keeled Skimmer is a dragonfly of heaths and commons with shallow pools. It has a skittish and weak flight, and is on the wing in summer and early autumn. The female has a yellow abdomen which is parallel sided and narrower than that of the male. A distinctive pattern of short bars crossing the dorsal line is visible. This female was seen in the New Forest, Hampshire.
So I'm starting a section on the watering-holes of Second Life! I'm starting by flirting with the bartender at the Tralala Diner sim :-)
Tralala has a lot of everything and its all interesting!
Loe Bar beach is a half mile sand and shingle bank that separates The Loe, Cornwall’s largest natural freshwater lake, from the sea.
Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Loe Bar beach originally formed the mouth of the river Cober which led to a harbour in Helston. However, by the 13th century the bar had cut Helston off from the sea and formed The Loe. (Visit Cornwall, 2024)

Limosa lapponica. Burrill Lake. NSW. I'd spent ages trying to get close to a couple of Oyster catchers, looked up the beach and I was being calmly watched. Me, not so calm, my first Godwit...a lifer. Over the weekend it spent so much time back and forth in front of the house I almost got used to it, but those first few minutes.... were lots of fun.

Well this one does "seriously bar fit"; I certainly can't keep up when it comes to drinking.

'Twas in the merry month of June from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut the stout black thorn to be on the shores to Dublin
Brand new pair of brogues rattlin' o'er the bogs
Fightin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
