I bet his Mom doesn't tell him to count sheep when he can't sleep because sheep are apart of his nightmares now. No one was hurt. The ewe dumped the little guy, then jumped over him, obviously, to avoid trampling him :)

This portrait is an allusion to the Count di Luna from one of Verdi's most dramatic masterpieces - "Troubadour"

Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

A satisfying moment in Trafalgar Square: Go Ahead LT441 on Route 12 lines up next to London Sovereign VH3 on Route 13
We first met Shepherd McKnight Dreamer during the Summer Joust. As you can see, even if he cares about sheep, he still dreams to be a knight.
I don't know if his dream will come true but maybe he's gonna get more sheep to heard, thanks to the incredible BrickNerd judges! :)

Here's the 4th comic strip featuring a new character called Blood Count. (Get it? Wakka wakka!) My goal will be for him to die at the end of each comic strip, but I'm open to the idea of him living as long as he's miserable.
I couldn't decide whether to call him Blood Count or Vlad the Imp. I liked both equally.

It was a horrible year. But I had to do my annual Winter Count anyway so here it is. A January view from home, part of my 100 Days of Darkness project. February is a good month for enjoying a Semla. The horror of 2020 in one March photo. The usual suspects had a few nice BBQs during this very unusual year. When the warm weather came back I was back in the saddle most every day. Here bird spotting in a Canola field. It was one of the warmest days of the year when I went for a walk around Långholmen in Stockholm. One of my Summer hobbies when it comes to Summer photography is panning shots. I had to visit the Graffiti Heaven that is Lövsättra before it was demolished. I visited the new nature reserve Klövberget in Tyresö together with one of the usual Suspects in September. An October outing to Nynäshamn took me and two of the usual suspectds to the top of the Vinsberget hill. I spent quite a lot of tim at the Häringe/Hammersta nature reserve and made four visits in four month to the Lookout Point at Häringenäs. I had to add at least one photo of the old tree so here is one from December.

The monarchs leave their overwintering sites in Mexico in March and the migration lasts until June. I don't expect to see them here in Kansas anytime soon.
Alas, it's not even September, much less Halloween.
Perhaps he's just practicing.

These wild kites are no fools, they know that by following the tourist boats, that an easy meal is on offer.

After several months of waiting, my identification card arrived stating my status as a resident here in Turkey. This means I can restore service on my phone and do quite a few things that were not possible without the phone, like ordering a guitar online and having groceries delivered to the apartment. I am pleased.
Women on the street. Counting money.
Vietnam's currency is the dong which is one of the most devalued currencies in the world.
It's easy to find yourself a millionaire and end up carrying around big wad of notes due to the high devaluation.
When travelling is important to make sure that the Vietnamese notes are not torn: many shops and restaurants could not accept them.
Less than three weeks until I leave for Maine and can wake up to this view every morning. All I have to do is survive 4 more truck days (full of back to school shoes and BOOTS...shoot me NOW!!) at work and dreaded inventory. I'm going to make it.
Looks like it will just be my brother-in-law and I going, which means I won't have my car...which could be a problem ... because I have plans. It will be interesting to see if my brother-in-law will be able to stand me after one week. (I have my doubts).
“Counting chikens is hard work, whether they’ve hatched or not!”
Poor Zyanya. It looks like she will be in the barnyard all day trying to get the right number. Will she count the dogs in chiken suits, I wonder?
An entry into The Best Intentions category of the Colossal Castle Contest.
Count Rosencross and many of his retainers are on their way to participate in the Games of Hradcany. On the way they set up camp near a small river. Elvodug and Flemup were preparing dinner when Flemup clumsily bumped a log from the fire into the edge of the cooking tent. The tent caught fire quickly and soon it was all that the men could do to keep the fire from spreading.
