It is almost time for Smugmug to close down Flickr for maintenance so that they can perform the mammoth task of transferring every single thing on Flickr to a new server. Hard to imagine, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the transfer all goes smoothly. There will probably be a few glitches to iron out afterwards, but these will no doubt eventually be fixed. An interesting, and important, read, if you didn't see it:

The day before yesterday, 19 May 2019, I was out for the day with my daughter, to celebrate Mother's Day and yet another birthday for me. I always look forward to a day like this - my favourite way to spend a day! I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and windy, especially when we went to Frank Lake after spending time at the Saskatoon Farm. We both still managed to get a few photos and, today, the colourful ones are most welcome, as we have yet another gloomy day. I think it must have rained again last night, as I can see there are puddles out there.
Our day started with a delicious breakfast at the Farm, after which we walked around the grounds. I always enjoy seeing the farm cats and dogs wandering about, inside and outside. Visitors are not allowed to bring dogs, which means that the farm animals can roam in peace.
The gardens have not yet been planted with flowers - just as well, as I noticed that there was a risk of frost on two recent nights. There are flowers blooming in the greenhouses, though.
Our next destination was Frank Lake, where we hoped to see at least a few birds. It was very quiet, with little to photograph - not the best time of the day. Two Eared Grebes were swimming near the blind, but what a challenge they were! Non stop swimming and constantly changing direction, fast. I think I ended up with a couple of photos that might be sharp enough to post - the rest have been deleted. A Yellow-headed Blackbird, perched on a cattail, was swaying in and out of the viewfinder.
It felt really good to get out, as I have been spending so much time going through all the images from our trip to South Texas. It did feel a little strange to be driving, as I have barely been out the last few weeks.
CMO #22001 has been unofficially repainted with this interesting mural on the side. Something I didn't notice until looking at the photos on my computer was the rewording of UP's slogan near the logo to read "Bleeding America." This was midway through UP's GSPFMR 8 on the ex-RI Topeka Sub in Topeka, KS.

"Bleeding Heart Flowers" by Patti Deters. Delicate pink Bleeding Heart (previously Dicentra spectabilis, now Lamprocapnos spectabilis) shows off dainty heart-shaped flowers that hang gracefully from nodding, arching stems, surrounded by bright green foliage. These delicate blooms are one of my favorite in the spring garden, blooming profusely for several weeks in shady areas. They are sometimes referred to as "lady-in-a-bath" and symbolize love and marriage. Thank you for viewing this picture. If you like outdoor nature photography, please enjoy more flowers and other plant-focused images at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/bleeding-heart-flowers-p....
Many of my early Spring flowers are dying off. After many windy days which made it impossible to photograph them, I was able to find this branch and capture this image.
