Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
-- Lao Tzu
Icebat and Ox hung on every minute of Barack's acceptance speech. We all agreed that we want to live in his beautiful dream of America.
I want it to be real.
Tho winds of progress howl and whine in his ears and waves of doubt crash over his procumbent form, he holds fast to his idyllic vision.
...on Pearblossom Hwy would certainly brighten my isolated life.

At the onset of spring the kestrels have switched back their diets to caterpillar and other insects in the ground - easier picking than the voles they were after in the winter months. Downsview Park, Ontario
A change was called for as I think you might have been getting a tad bored with my day trip out.
This was taken the other night as a result of trying a new contouring product and eye shadow pallet.
here you see me modelling my play suit thing. It doesn't look great when I stand up but it nice for relaxing in do those little jobs around the house.
I will show a full length photo.

Labourers working on a resort construction project,
take a break and head towards their base.. situated on the neighboring island,
where food and lodging is arranged.
Recently, the Labour Ministry reluctantly announced the figures of 'legal' immigrant workers in Maldives at around 75k. Not big.. they must have emphasized, when considering the amount of projects currently underway.
But it is very big, when compared to the local population, currently at around 350k.
That is roughly 1:4 ratio of foreigner to every Maldivian citizen. Young and old included.
In some local village Islands which are in close proximity to construction sites, the figure escalate to alarming levels, which also lead to much tension between groups and hence lead to many unwanted social problems.
There are approximately, 30 newly leased resorts, 11 airports and over 60 harbour dredging projects.. in addition to the numerous building construction projects underway (or about to begin) in the Capital City and in the islands.
If this is not big, then big is certainly on the way shortly.
The Government is taking steps to develop three mega cities in the following zones.. Gulhi Falhu, Bodu Mohoraa and Ihavandhippolhu.
Sooner or later, all of us feel the need of being in a wind of change and that's Polaris feeling at the moment. Her time here is over and she's ready to go.
So, she is been singing softly to herself this lovely song all the morning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
--ooOOoo--
Tarde o temprano, todos nosotros sentimos la necesidad de un cambio de aires y Polaris está justo en ese momento. Su tiempo termina y está lista para dar un nuevo aire a su vida.
Quizás por eso, lleva toda la mañana canturreando esta canción: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
The wind never stops blowing on this spot. It is shaping the landscape and everything around it, including ourselves..

September, 2011 was a little over a year into the f-unit era on Pan Am Railways. It still seemed pretty surreal to be out chasing their business train with the pair of ex Conway Scenic/Canadian National FP9's. A month before ST GP9 #77 had come out of the Waterville paint shop in B&M maroon and gold. A couple months later, in November, ST GP9 #52 was painted in an adaption of the simplified MEC green paint scheme. Fast forward 7 years and the business train has gone from once or twice a year to a somewhat frequent move now featuring an ex Wabash Budd dome car. With the purchase of a large fleet of GE B40-8's and C40-8's, the heritage geeps have become surplus and have been sold, likely leaving the property any day now. In this shot the "sisters" are crossing the Androscoggin River at Great Falls from Lewiston into Auburn.

Just like autumn leaves this is ripening sorghum changing colour , when it is fully ripe it goes a rusty brown colour . This is a seven shot pano .
I really like the flowers in the shot here. I would like to do a full set of girls and flowers like this.

This photo shows the climate changes taking place: I shoot this little grebe at the lakes of Colbricon, in the heart of the Dolomites, in August, at an altitude of 1927 meters, where it had nested (the couple had 2 chicks). Usually little grebes do not nest above 500 meters, and in any case in 50 years that I frequent the area I had never seen one. In the same period I saw a couple of grey herons at the Calaita lake, at over 1600 meters above sea level: even in this case I had never seen herons in the area.
Apparently the higher temperatures, especially at night, and the frequent thermal inversion are changing the habits of the fauna...
Sunset at the Waddensea. The mudcracks are being formed by the sun which has finally arrived after all those wet weeks, months.
I love the chaotic patterns that are created by the thousands of pools in this area. The water in the pools defines the shapes and every day it's different.
One of my favorite wilderness lakes to hike to, regardless of the weather. This photo was taken about a month ago. The road is now closed for winter. It will probably be one of the first hikes I do when the road reopens sometime in May.

I struggled with this as originally I couldn't find the snow image that I had in mind, eventually I found it deep in the archives, I found it back in February 2018, it was taken with my first digital camera a Canon IXUS, a tiny little thing but it did take excellent pictures!
Now I had to rearrange the garden furniture and bring the Bistro set back into place and take the photo from roughly the same spot.
A lot has changed in the garden in the six years between the shots, the wall, whilst crumbling is still there as is the slate water feature as are the two bits of panelling, you can just see some behind the Mahonia which has grown considerably in the six years! The main change is that the extremely tall (probably 40ft) conifer hedge that completely obscured the grotty Church has been removed.
You see I know change
I see change
I embody change
All we do is change
Yeah, I know change
We are born to change
We sometimes regard it as a metaphor
That reflects the way things ought to be
In fact change takes time
It exceeds all expectations
It requires both now and then
See although the players change
The song remains the same
And the truth is
You gotta have the balls to change
Joss Stone - Change (Intro)
Three Norfolk Southern crew members climb aboard CSX 7736 at Sharonville Yard, ready to take the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus train East towards Watkins Yard in Columbus, OH.
In the cab are two I&O crew members, getting ready to debrief the oncoming crew and detrain for their "taxi". It is here as well the symbols change from IORY-01 to NS 099-20.
