Even though my left arm has been bothering me this winter, and this is heavy work. Draging the winch wire up that steep ascent to the fence on the top is pretty heavy, but a lot more so when you sink knee deep in the snow. This day the snowcrust carried both me and the tractor, and so it was a lot less effort to drag the 10mm vire up there.
I might never get rich as a farmer, and there might be long days. At the moment I need about 7 hours a day to do the work in the barn, 7 days a week. I can manage it at about 6 when Mette help me in the evenings, but I usually use the same time as I then shear a cow or two (yes, I do shear the cows and heifers as it is easier to keep them clean, not to keep them cool as this fellow do www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=f405... ) remove some old silage, or do something else in the time I save with her help. This was a long distraction, my point is that I might not be rich as a farmer, but I know no-one that have a better job most of the time. And then, as everyone else, I have days that are hard and frustrating. Mostly when the animals are sick, get lost, or the crop fails. It is frustrating and expencive.
So there isn't that many hours a day left for other kinds of work. And this winter had so much dry snow for so long, so it was hard to get into the pastures with the tractor to clear pastures and cut some firewood. But finally, after a periode of rain and then some good frost it was perfect.
I have been away from Flickr for a while. My mother in law got a stroke some time back, and after about two weeks we lost her. As I said in the funeral, I might be special, but I loved my mother in law. She lived just 10 minutes from us, so we had much contact. Mette visited her most days on her way home from work. We feel the loss.
At the same time we have thrown out our old bathroom and built a new. Not me, we hire people for the job as you hardly can do anything legally. It was supposed to take two weeks, last Thursday it was three weeks without shower. We now have water and all the building is done, and tomorrow we get the electrician. So I hope we then get lights and warmth there too. Then there is just the shower walls that lack, they will take some time as they have to be built to fit our room.
So I haven't had the time, nor the motivation, to be part of Flickr lately. I hope to return soon, but I fear I will have to have short visits in the start to catch up with all of you. Sorry for that.
There are a few more photos in the first comment.

Meteorologists are calling the weather event a "bomb cyclone."
“In order for it to be a meteorological bomb, it has to have a pressure drop of 24 millibars in 24 hours. This has dropped 50 millibars in 24 hours so it's like a double kind of a mega storm,” said Dave Phillips, a senior climatologist for Environment Canada.
The storm system is expected to bring extremely high winds.
“These are historic winds. I mean they're almost the kind of wind you'd see in a hurricane,” Phillips explained.
Day 49 2015
I had to go to Bangor today (and yes i had a lovely time!) i stopped at a small village on the A5 called Llandygai as it has good views ot the Carneddau mountain range i didnt really bother with the mountains as the sky stole the show i spent an hour chatting about what a beautiful place i live in with a lovely couple who i met.
Blau und Weiß leuchten hier deutlicher als im vorherigen Bild. Das Dunkel am Ende des Weges stört mich ein wenig :-)
Blue and white shine more clearly here than in the previous picture. The darkness at the end of the path bothers me a little :-)
This guy (gal?) was far too busy chewing to be bothered by my walking by early this morning. It stayed fairly close as I walked around the gardens, searching in the grass for things to eat, and at one point even came up to me to see if I had any treats.

Don't we all love those times when the atmosphere suddenly changes and you begin to feel a light breeze in your hair which builds until you know for sure a storm is just moments away, no turning back, waiting for those first drops of moisture on your face, armed with a plastic bag because experience has told you not to bother with an umbrella unless you want to share it with a neighbour over the next hill!
The Thai provence of Phang Nga, one of the most beautiful areas in southern Thailand and just an hour's ride north of Phuket. The view is beautiful in the sunshine but I would rather sit here and watch a storm any day.
Thank you for shooting the breeze with me :)

Stepped out the backdoor yesterday and went down the coast to Sandsend and back across country following a route
over woodland, moor and dale. 27.6 miles. If you can be bothered for more info its posted on Facebook...
I wasn`t going to bother with this but when i saw its consist i changed my mind so here`s 37402 at Colton with 6X21 the 12.46 Doncaster up decoy to York thrall works 16/06/2020.
And it's STILL snowing.
Neither MrMV nor I could have been bothered to dig out the car. So snowballs rather than school for the rascals tomorrow
The little one is eating well. I am yet to see his/her poopy, but I'm going to have to have a look in there. He/She is just very scared, so I am doing my best to not scare him/her anymore or bother him/her.
The butler and the porter struggle with the baggage on Rowley Station platform in Beamish Museum while her ladyship walks distainfully off in the opposite direction. Minor details like how to get these cases to wherever she's going are trifles that she doesn't bother thinking about - until they go missing!!

A re-post with a story..... I entered the British Wildlife Photography Awards with this picture and several others, I was informed that one of the others made it into the book, and then three days later told that it didn't. Apparently it was a mistake by the publishers though it was the BWPA who told me it was in and then out. Well I was a bit upset about being treated like that but nothing to really bother about until after the awards were given and magazines published articles about the awards and people started congratulating me on my snail picture which apparently got Highly Commended. I contacted the BWPA to find out what was going on to be told that I didn't have a picture in the awards. But then I saw the magazine and sent a photo of the page with my picture in it which had my caption on it and everything, which they could have only got from the BWPA. Oh now they send me huge apologies and a refund of my entrance fee...and I'm in the embarrassing position of being congratulated on something I didn't get!
"But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here..."
Yes, they are.... right here.
My day off....
My "To Do" list is pages and pages long. I never cross anything off it, I only add to the bottom of the list. So when I got up today.... my first thought.... I think I will go back to this location and pull those weeds to the right of the doorway because I might need this location again. Yup... and there you have it... my thought process, my inability to prioritize, and the reason nothing gets crossed off of my to do list (although.... if I add.... "pull the weeds at an abandoned building" to the list... I WILL have something to cross off! OK, works for me!)

As an update.... my co-worker loved his Clown Birthday card. My favorite part of all of it... when he looked at me... and asked me.... so, tell me how you did this. Where is that clown from? (meaning,,, where did you copy and paste him from).... oh.... THAT'S ME!!... coworker's jaw drops, he stutters.... and finally spits out the words.... "ohhhhh, Torrie.... that just takes that to a whole other level." (I will never forget that look on his face) So.... there you go.... I have achieved a whole new level of craziness (Let's be serious... I probably would have gotten there, eventually, anyway). And the photo.... three weeks later... sits on his desk.... with a sad deflated red balloon hanging from it and a vase full of very dead flowers. And he says he likes it that way.... I'm not exactly sure what his clients must think of HIM at this point...and that kind of takes HIM to a whole other level, too...
...and the saddesr part is that I doubt if I will EVER be able to top this birthday card (but it's not like I won't at least try....afterall... I DO have PRIORITIES!!)
(and on a side note... this clown costume just might be the best $5 I have ever spent... I really love it! Have I just achieved another level?!)
He is eyeing the sunflower seeds, started to launch, changed his mind.
The camera shutter was noisy and the noise seemed to bother him.
We have had a feeder up for over ten years and this sighting is a first.
So they did sell a facelift MG6 in the UK - this is almost certainly the only one I've ever seen, and for some reason I was in two minds about whether to bother snapping it, but the rear lights seemed unfamiliar enough to warrant it.
I'd been wanting to take a shot of this church for several months since moving to Gloucestershire in December 2019. I never considered my XF 35 1.4 able to shoot the church satisfactorily when driving past, so never bothered. Today my XF 16 1.4 arrived and the first thing I did outside was to see how well I could capture the church with a much wider lens. I soon discovered that you don't have to back too far away to get the whole building in view, and I perhaps took one step into the road to capture this shot, electing to avoid capturing a wall that sits directly beneath the church. The 16 is definitely a surprise, rendering subjects in far more various ways than the 35. I hope to keep experimenting with this flexible focal length, especially its relatively close focus distance which yields incredibly sharp images.

The movie director David Lean had Katharine Hepburn jump into the Rio San Barnaba when making the film Summer Time ( 1955 ) and she got an eye infection that bothered her for years.
My wife has two orchids in our front window. They seem to like that spot as they are always in flower and seem to require very little fuss or bother. This one has white flowers, which inspired me to try a high key black and white edit for slider Sunday
The polar bear most of the time couches lazily on the land and catches rays of the sun. It seems nothing can bother him and distract from his relaxing pastime. Аt feeding time the bear changes from a still creature into a strong and ferocious predator. Lots of people always come to look at the process of feeding. A small girl was looking excitedly at what was going on behind the glass, standing in front of it as if enchanted.
Зоопарк Сингапура-2016.
Полярный медведь чаще всего лениво лежит на суше и греется на солнышке. И казалось бы, что ничего не может помешать этому. Но во время кормления, этот белый, пушистый коврик, превращается в активного хищника, злого и беспощадного. Посмотреть на это зрелище, всегда собирается много людей. Девочка была так увлечена происходящим за стеклом, что стояла как заваражённая.
Be careful who you upset.
The abuse of older people, often referred to as ‘elder abuse’, is a global public health problem. On 15 June 2021, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published a factsheet on elder abuse to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. It provided the following definition, which includes abuse in both community and institutional settings:
Elder abuse is a single or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. This type of violence constitutes a violation of human rights and includes physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse; financial and material abuse; abandonment; neglect; and serious loss of dignity and respect.

Stagecoach 18405 (KX06 JYG) a Dennis Trident, seen along Nectar Way, Swan Valley, with one of the 5 vehicles used for this peak time afternoon 55 service, mainly taking EE scum to work. Of note, is that faces of 9 passengers can be clearly seen in my original photograph. Of those 9, only 1 person is wearing a face mask properly. 6 only covering their mouth, not their filthy noses, and 2 bastards are not even bothering at all.

First of a set from Friday night down at Winspit Cove in Dorset. I almost didn't bother due to a heavy mist and sporadic rain, but after the thirty minute walk down to the sea it had cleared somewhat. The retreating cloud picking up light pollution created a nice contrast to the rising stars in the blue twilight.
I'll be uploading another few images from the same set, all with different outcomes as the twilight blue vanished very quickly and this is the only shot to feature it. The scene was very dark, and even this 723 seconds at f/8.0 and ISO400 didn't bring out anymore than the skies colour and the mist of the sea. Usually I end up desaturated images, but this one needed a boost as well as some fill light and brightness to lift it. I also tweaked the WB so the light pollution came out more pink than its starting orange.
There's a little bit of a blur to the ridgeline from wave surging around the tripod. This is another shot that relied upon my new wellington boots, as I spent most of the shot ankle deep in surf. It was quite worrying, in fact, as the roar of the incoming waves is overwhelming and the darkness conceals their size. As you hear the deafening tide thrashing towards you, you have no idea if this is going to splash your ankles or come plunging over your shoulders to drag you back into the deep.
Viewing on black does lift this one another notch. Hope everyone's had a great few days whilst I've been away and look forward to catching up now I'm back.

Herd of Waterbuck found in the background behind two male lions resting in the shade. The waterbuck were not bothered by us taking photos but were on high alert and keeping a sharp eye on the lions in case they decided to give chase.

Der Johannapark wurde in den Jahren 1858 bis 1863 von dem Leipziger Unternehmer und Bankier Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth (1807–1881) auf eigene Kosten angelegt und später der Stadt gestiftet. Damit wollte er an seine im Alter von 21 Jahren verstorbene Tochter Johanna Natalie Schulz erinnern. Der Überlieferung nach war sie daran zerbrochen, dass sie dem väterlichen Wunsch entsprechend den ungeliebten Dr. Gustav Schulz heiraten musste. Voller Reue gedachte ihr Vater, der Nachwelt etwas, das in ihrem Sinne gewesen wäre, zu hinterlassen: Seyfferth erwarb die am Pleißeufer gelegene Martorffer Wiese und einige angrenzende Flächen und ließ sie nach Plänen von Peter Joseph Lenné (1789–1866) in einen Park im Stil englischer Landschaftsgärten verwandeln. Wie bei Lenné üblich wurden viele exotische Baumarten angepflanzt, so dass der Park streckenweise den Charakter eines Botanischen Gartens bekam. Im Zentrum der Grünanlage wurde ein Teich mit einer kleinen Insel und zwei Brücken angelegt. Mit Seyfferths Tod 1881 ging der Park testamentarisch auf die Stadt Leipzig über mit der Bedingung, das Gelände nicht zu überbauen. Er wurde nochmals bis zu einer Grundfläche von acht Hektar vergrößert. Mit dem Bau der Lutherkirche zwischen 1884 und 1887 wurde ein architektonischer Akzent im Stil der Neogotik gesetzt. Durch die Zusammenlegung mit den Gärten und Grundstücken einiger im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörter Gebäude kam der Park zu seinen heutigen Abmessungen.

Johannapark (Johanna's Park) was laid out between 1858 and 1863 by the Leipzig entrepreneur and banker Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth (1807-1881) at his own expense and later donated to the city. With this donation he wanted to honour the memory of his daughter Johanna Natalie Schulz, who died at the age of 21. According to tradition, she was broken by the fact that she had to marry the unloved Dr. Gustav Schulz according to her father's wish. Full of remorse, her father intended to leave behind to posterity something that would have been in her best interests: Seyfferth acquired the Martorff Meadow, located on the banks of the River Pleiße, and some adjoining areas and had it transformed into a park in the style of English landscape gardens according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné (1789-1866). As usual for Lenné, many exotic tree species were planted, so that the park partly got the character of a botanical garden. A pond with a small island and two bridges was created in the centre of the park. With Seyfferth's death in 1881, the park was bequeathed to the city of Leipzig in his will, with the condition that the area not be built over. It was enlarged again to a total area of eight hectares. With the construction of Luther Church between 1884 and 1887, an architectural accent was set in the Gothic Revival style. By integrating the gardens and plots of land of some buildings destroyed in the Second World War, the park reached its current dimensions of 11 hectares.
