What a difference a day makes! Yesterday Paisley and I spent the morning tiptoeing through the daffodils on our walk. Today we had at least 5 inches of snow! I knew I shouldn’t have put the shovels away so soon...

322481 departs from South Elmsall with a Saturday afternoon local service from Leeds to Doncaster.
The five class 322 EMUs were built in 1990 for use on the "Stansted Express" service between Liverpool Street and the new Stansted Airport station which opened in May 1991. They were almost identical to the class 321 which Network SouthEast had just introduced, the main difference being having a seating layout more suitable for airport work. They were based at Ilford depot, alongside the Anglia Region 321s.
It was soon realised that five four-car units was not enough for the number of passengers using the enlarged Stansted Airport, and, after rail privatisation, they were eventually replaced by a larger dedicated fleet of modified class 317s. The small fleet of EMUs with lower than average seating capacity was not really of much use to operator WAGN. Some were sub-leased for a couple of years to North Western Trains for its open-access operation to London Euston, they spent some time providing extra capacity on peak-hour Great Northern services out of King's Cross, they were occasionally hired to Anglia Railways to work Norwich services (pending the arrival of 170s), and then from December 2001 were all sub-leased to ScotRail (to replace slam-door class 305s on the North Berwick branch).
When WAGN was split in two in April 2004, with the West Anglia part (to which the 322s had originally been allocated) becoming part of the new Greater Anglia franchise (known initially as 'one'), the 322s had to return to Ilford - and operated alongside 321s for a while. But their limited capacity meant 'one' declared them surplus to requirements, and in July 2005 they were transferred to ScotRail for use on the North Berwick branch (where they replaced a hired class 90 and ex-Virgin coaches as well as a 158). A year or two later they were all refurbished, with the original 2+2 seating being replaced with 3+2.
The arrival of new-build class 380 EMUs made them redundant in Scotland, and in summer 2011 they were transferred to Neville Hill (Leeds) for use with Northern - alongside Northern's fleet of three class 321/9 EMUs (ordered by West Yorkshire PTE for use on the Leeds - Doncaster route after it was electrified - although it used ex-NSE class 307s for a short period while the 321 were being built). The 321/9s and 322s operated as a common fleet, working on all electrified lines from Leeds and Bradford (to Ilkley and Skipton, alongside the newer class 333s) as well as from Leeds to Doncaster (as seen here).
Eventually new class 331 EMUs made the eight thirty-year-old EMUs at Neville Hill redundant, and they went off lease in May 2020. But in late 2020, Greater Anglia was required to transfer its 360s to East Midlands Railway (for the new electric service to Corby), and found itself short of EMUs because its new class 720s were late arriving. In July 2020 the off-lease units were transferred to Ilford to work for Greater Anglia - the 321/9s for the first time, but the 322s returning to their original home - and they soon began to work alongside GA's 321s.
Having had PRM-TSI work done on them while at Northern, the 321/9s and 322s were more compliant with the new rules than Ilford's non-Renatus 321s, so outlived them; the latter were all out of service by the end of 2021, while the former remained in service until summer 2022. All the 322s (and 321/9s) were then sent for scrap at Sims Metals in Newport (South Wales); 322481 was the first to go (with 321901), on Thursday 4th August 2022, hauled there by 37884.

Boy, what a difference a week makes! The previous weekend we went to the Zoo with temps near 80 degrees.
Tthe weather forecast proved to be accurate; we got a measurable snowfall! I guesstimate it to be at least six inches. (A great deal for Knoxville; at least since moving from Northeastern Pennsylvania)
As of Monday, March 14th the snow is all but melted away. Highs are supposed to rebound back into the 70s later this week.

I hung out with some friends today, we had mi goreng and it was the best ever. :)

The science of genetics is fascinating. Such seemingly little differences in strands of DNA lead to dramatic differences from species to species. It's no different for Black Skimmers. Although this day old chick is a mere shadow of its parents, there is no denying the similarities. You wouldn't be able to mistake this chick for another shorebird. So, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and neither do the black skimmer chicks! #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewYork #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #BlackSkimmers #DrDADBooks #Canon #LidoBeach #WildlifeConservation

This is the entrance ceiling to the Seyed Jafar Hamideh Khatoon Holy Shrine and Mosque in District 5 of Tehran. The difference between a mosque and a holy shrine is that a holy shrine is also a burial place, so a holy shrine can also serve as a mosque.
Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres was sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties in the west before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their diary property in 1887. Greene established his own village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers he contracted to work his lands. He started with just one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. To go with his village George Greene needed a castle like a medieval lord of the manor. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms and castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried here. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School for those aged 15 to 18 took in first time offenders in the criminal justice system. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974. The next owner was David Morris who restored the castle and more recent owners are Rod and Bev Kershaw. Iandra castle is thus one of the most unusual and surprising heritage properties in Australia. Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe.

Can you find ten differences between the two images? This was one of my favorite childhood activities. You'll have to go big.
I spotted this woman and thought I'd take a shot and put something on the backside of her sign. Not sure what was on the front, but I believe she was seeking donations.
Another Muskovy duck from the flock we encountered on Friday. Each individual was unique, yet they all traveled together. People can learn so much from animals.
Sunday, March 15, 2015 in the UK, Ireland and ???
my goodness, the history and origins of Mothers day...far more complicated than I realized...why we celebrate it in the UK in March, on the fourth Sunday of lent, the difference between Mothering Sunday and Mother's day...the involvement of Anna Jarvis in the US... Constance Smith in the UK...and don't get me started on the ancient Greeks and Romans or Simnel cake!
I wonder when and where Father's day began........
well...however, whenever or wherever it started...I just wanted to say Happy mother's day to all you Mum's out there, I hope you have a lovely day ☺... and ... a big thank-you to my three lovely daughters ♥♥♥ for surrounding me with beautiful flowers....and... I'll just have one more Champagne truffle...mmmm!

Another attempt to get this dress to work. Previously I tried this with nude style tights. Here I am wearing a brown pair and I think it works better - the link takes you to the previous ensemble.

Comparing the LE 2500 Snow Queen Elsa 17'' Doll (November 2013) versus LE 5000 Frozen Fever Elsa 17'' Doll (November 2015). They have similar appearances and outfits, but also many differences. Lying down side by side, with open capes. SQ Elsa's cape is shorter, but much wider. Its bottom edge is circular and the sides are straight. FF Elsa's cape has a square shape with pointed corners at the bottom and the sides.
SQ Elsa has a darker face, with pale purplish skin, longer eyelashes and darker makeup giving her smoky eyes, darker rouge. Their braids are about the same length and style, but FF Elsa has neater hair on top, and in the back (which is helped by being tied down with nylon thread). SQ Elsa has two jeweled 8 sided snowflakes in her hair, FF Elsa has three pink 6 sided flowers in her braid, and a larger one on the side of her head.
Their outfits are similar, with a slinky one piece dress with a slit in the skirt, and a permanently attached cape that is jeweled and has embroidered decorations. SQ Elsa has embroidered snowflakes in the cape, but only jewels (rectangular and round) in her dress. FF Elsa has a jeweled and embroidered floral design in her cape and her bodice, but no decorations in her skirt. However FF Elsa's cape is heavily decorated in the back of the cape, whereas SQ Elsa's cape has decorations only on the sides and bottom, so the back of the cape is almost bare (except on the bottom). SQ Elsa's cape has a round bottom edge, that is much wider than FF Elsa's cape, and is also longer on the sides. So it can wrap around and cover much of the front of the dress, and drags on the floor all around. SQ Elsa's skirt is also longer than floor length, and much wider at the bottom than the FF Elsa's skirt, which doesn't quite reach the floor. SQ Elsa's dress has full length sheer sleeves, while FF Elsa's dress is basically sleeveless. Finally their high heeled shoes have the same design, representing snowflakes and icicles. But SQ Elsa's shoes are opaque light blue with dark blue striations, whereas FF Elsa's are transparent light green that are also iridescent and have embedded fine glitter. FF Elsa's shoes are much more impressive.
In general, FF Elsa has a much brighter appearance. But SQ Elsa is closer to the character's true nature, and of course her iconic image. And her outfit is much more impressive to me despite the lack of details in the cape compared to the FF cape. So SQ Elsa is my favorite of the two.
