Tussock Skink (Pseudemoia pagenstecheri) endangered
Only the second time I have seen a Tussock Skink. This one was crossing the disused section of Sneydes Rd. and looks like it has lost its tail, you can see the new tail starting to grow. They are very small, growing to a max around 60 mm (with tail). I was lucky I saw it move and grabbed a shot, from some distance, before it could disappear. This image has been heavily cropped. My previous sighting was on the other side of the Sneydes Rd. Paddock in January this year.
The path up to Dubh Loch from Loch Muick crosses strulan burn at this point .. pick your way carefully!!
Further along the footpath there is a wooden footbridge over the stream. I must admit I like exploring somewhere new!

The mighty Shannon is the longest river in the British Isles at 224 miles. { The Severn in England is next at 220 miles } its names is taken from the Celtic godess, "Sionann" who was the grandaughter of Lir. [ See the Children of Lir link ]

It rises in the Cuilcagh mountains in Co. Cavan and travels southwards before entering the sea in Limerick. It divides the country roughly from east to west and it is steeped in History, mythology and folklore.
Athlone is the main crossing point of the river and is the centre of Ireland.
For a thousand year, this crossing has been fought over by every invader who came here and the worst came in 1690 when 10,000 protestant troops loyal to William 3rd, laid siege to the town and castle. They survived it but they returned again in 1691 with double the troops. The towns 9 arched bridge was unbreached but they successfully crossed the ford [ in my photo ] and it is said slaughtered 12000 catholic Jacobites.
Today the only invaders here are tourists. Its a wonderful town with its quaint narrow winding cobblestone streets with history around every corner, old worldy shops, tiny atmospheric pubs, music and friendly easy going people. Visit the castle which is a amazing or walk the Shannon or better still jump on a cruise ship to Lough Ree and back.

Im just wondering how you all feel about the recent changes in Flickr regarding free accounts and the 1000 max uploads.
Love to know your thoughts. A very good friend of mine and yours has just left.
Larissa Datscha. An amazing wildlife photographer from Finland has left in protest. Her red squirrel photos got to me every time! Enchanting! A lovely lady and sadly missed. If anyone can contact her, do plead with her to come back to us!
Ive tried messaging but to no avail. Im hopeful as she has not removed her photos as yet. See link below.
Dont you all go leaving me either, now!!!

Perfect morning to photograph something crossing what I think of as the Mickey Mouse lift bridge over the St. Croix River in Prescott, Wisconsin. BNSF 5863 leads mixed freight over the bridge at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers along the former CB&Q. Another spot I have not shot in many years, mostly because I swing through here later in the day when the sun swings to the west. I think of Prescott as a morning photo spot.

Cottage Crossing featuring GWR Small Prairie No. 4555.
The crossing was formerly manned, with the house having been built as a residence for a crossing keeper. It originally connected the Upper and Lower Forges in Eardington. (SVR Wiki)
The cottage is now the home of two working SVR members. (Bill and Paula)
The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn-Wye Bridge is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales and took three and half years[3] to construct at a cost of £8 million.[4] It replaced the Aust ferry.
The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.[5]
CP 6644 hauls CP 528 over the Grand river in Cambridge less then 2 weeks before remembrance day. A bonus was the multimark buffer car immediately behind the locomotive.
A charming place to be. Glenridding Beck, near Ullswater in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. England

On a hot July, 2020, afternoon, one of Southwestern RR's ex-Santa Fe GP30s leads a short work train across the dry Rio Mimbres near Spalding, NM. The crew had spent the day bringing track material down from the line to Santa Rita for a siding project near Deming, and are now returning to Hurley to tie up.
