We returned yesterday from an enjoyable week away in Tenby with our family. It started off cold and windy but by the end of the week, it was warm and sunny.
I've got lots of images to sort out - probably after the Easter weekend. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable Easter and will try to catch up as soon as I can.

I think this is the last of this series.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments. Now I will let her come in and warm up for spring ;-)
It's early on the morning of January 2nd 2026. L591's crew was already hard at work cleaning the backlog of cars accumulated in the yard since Christmas cancellations. With only one working cab heater aboard GTW 6226 and minus 4 degree Fahrenheit winter trying to fill up the already cold cab thru every holes and cracks, heavy winter coat and hat are mandatory in cab that day as showing by engineer trainee S.P.
Outside, sub-zero temperature and the ever-present windchill kept the ground crew quite busy dealing with rock-solid air hoses, frozen angle cock along with switches.
You bet S.P feel quite lucky escaping an another winter working the ground and filling up the right hand seat, up toward the spring season.

Well cold everything really, feet, bums and tums. A frozen Island Pool at Dunham Park yesterday morning.
On a twenty-mile bicycle ride yesterday on the edge of the Florida Everglades I had the privilege of an encounter with this beautiful raptor perched high in a dead tree. It was quite curious as to what I was doing here in its territory and seemed brave and stoic in its home environment. I enjoyed its company for a little while and then went on my way, leaving it to its wonderful, carefree and natural life in the wild. March 9th, 2016 ~ Red-shouldered Hawk ~ Florida Everglades U.S.A.
[Those big golden feet look large for its body, don't they!? LOL]

Awoke to a foggy frosty morning , one of those lovely crisp cold days. So had a little walk along the riverside and took some photos.
Clambering up the Cold Mountain path,
The Cold Mountain trail goes on and on:
The long gorge choked with scree and boulders,
The wide creek, the mist-blurred grass.
The moss is slippery, though there's been no rain.
The pine sings, but there's no wind.
Who can leap the world's ties
And sit with me among the white clouds.

Found an abandoned Cold War radio tower that's now turned into a real-life expansion of Fallout! Can anyone guess where it is? Wow you should have seen some of the characters that were wandering around this place. It stormed like a war and our only refuge was to find a way inside.
A very strong blustery cold front blasted its way through Newcastle this afternoon, moving tree canopies around and stripping deadwood from them.
