Lucky is the three-legget 🐈 at work. He likes to eat and he is difficult to cuddle, but the other day he allowed me annoying him 😊
This was from Monday when she was giving me a really hard time taking photos. She would not look at me for the world and if I got up she jumped up. Maybe it's time to give her another break from pictures.
Played a bit here with the Sepia Action again and Vignetting.
Large on Black: 'Downright Difficult' On Black If you look you can see she's wearing her pink glitter "princess shoes".
*** I'd questioned even posting this photo but to my surprise it made the Nikon Stunning Gallery. See a screenshot. I thought it had to have the exif data showing it was taken with a Nikon... but. No. I did a save to web for this so no exif.
- Difficult is to match, at the same time, in one place and also, also ...., in the same plane .........Difficult, but not impossible .......
- Difícil es coincidir, en el mismo momento, en mismo lugar, y además, además...., en el mismo plano.........Dificil, pero no imposible.......
This is a notoriously difficult church to photograph owing to the over-forestation of the small graveyard. There seems to be more trees than tombstones. Clear views from the south, east and north are virtually impossible.
A pity really, as it is a handsome flint church with stone dressings largely of the 14th and 15th centuries standing on the site of a former Saxon church. It stands in a prominent position near the brow of a hill on the north side of the village, overlooking the village green.
The 15th century west tower has flush flint and stone panelling, set back buttresses and a half octagonal stair turret on the south face. The parapet is castellated and the upper stage of the tower has octagonal buttresses terminated by crocketted pinnacles.
The aisles and chancel have castellated parapets. The south arcade of the nave is 14th century with octagonal piers with concave sides. The north arcade has plain octagonal piers. The font is 13th century with a square bowl on a moulded central shaft and 4 corner pillars. There is a fine 15th century octagonal pulpit with traceried panels.
The chancel was rebuilt in 1855 and has some fascinating windows by the Ward & Hughes workshop. They depict scenes from the life of Christ - the summoning of the Disciples, the raising of Jairus's daughter - but some of the figures in the scenes have 19th century faces, and are wearing 19th century clothes. These are memorial windows to the figures worked into the scenes, and the brass plaques that name them are also by Ward & Hughes. The astonishing one is the consumptive figure of Jairus's daughter, who is represented by Winifred Frances Fisher, a 17 year old girl who died suddenly in 1892. Her plaque notes that she was Perfected in a short time. She lies on her death bed, her silvery curls flowing across the pillow in a perfect moment of late Victorian sentiment. Rather odder is the figure of her father, in full 19th Century formal wear, who peers curiously from behind the backs of St Peter and St Andrew as they are called on the lake shore.
Some difficult and challenging jobs last night.
All part of the role I have here working on the front line. Love the job but sometimes hard dealing with traumatic situations that will change lives forever and effect many others in their families and friends..
Grateful to have Jill and my faith too to keep me going!! 😁 (plus of course the odd cappuccino here and there!!)
We work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.

Difficult to trust "friends" anymore. So I'm "out there in nowhere" way too often. Lonely? Very...Alone? Very...But I'm not alone in being alone.
Very difficult picture to get. 5 minutes of us riding up and down the road being followed with a car with a driver and photographer. After riding at high rates of speed during the day during this photo shoot we finally had to drop our speed to 25mph to get this shot. Out of tens and tens of pics of us attempting to fist bump, only 3 were any good, this was just one of them.

As you may have noticed, I'm starting to become more and more interested in self-portraits. Here is another one I made yesterday, it was kinda difficult, because that is actually the top of a tree, and I don't have a remote :P Anyway, it was really fun, hope you like it!

Thanks a lot (;-))) !
It is often difficult to find green herons, let alone see them fishing. In my observation over several days along the shoreline of a nearby small lake, I found green herons to be highly successful in their attempts than all other herons and egrets.

66107 had had a difficult Journey from Round Oak. The train should have left at 14.27 but actually departed at 13.45, it was held for some time at Kingswinford Junction awaiting a path, when it eventually got going it passed Stourbridge at 14.12 still 35 minutes early, by the time it left Worcester it was a minute late. Here the train, which was following a dmu, had got the road and the driver opened the loco up covering the waiting passengers in exhaust smoke, not appreciated by the young lady in the foreground who was half way through her lunch. The train was the 14.27 to Margam T.C.

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Honore de Balzac
Besting Damian was the easy part. The more difficult task was convincing Jim to allow me to detain him in the cave, fortunately whilst he may want to even the score with Damian the realization that Damian knows that Bruce Wayne and Batman are one in the same was enough to make him agree. Nice to see he still has faith in what I claim to stand for. It’s seeing people like him believe in me that keeps me going.
Tim was able to successfully rescue his father unharmed much to my relief and it appears as though he’s managed to patch things up with Miss Brown…..or the Spoiler as she seems to be going by these days. At first I chose to withhold who the Crimson Knight claimed to be. I couldn’t be certain without another DNA test to be sure. Sadly the results came back positive. All this time. The man who has been fighting me for control of Gotham has been my son. My own flesh and blood, trying to kill me. Certainly not how I expected this to go. I was certain that it was going to be Ra’s or even the man who led the Pêna Duro prison revolt.
I want to linger on this discovery. Learn what it is that Ra’s did to Damian to make him into this monster. But deep down I know that time is against me. The last thing I can do is stand still. He’ll be coming for me, and I need to be ready.
”I know I hoped for you to one day have a child of your own Master Bruce, but I was rather hoping you wouldn’t do so until you finally chose to hang up your cape and settle down.”
”It’s as much a shock to you as it is to me Alfred.”
”I can only imagine sir.”
”It’s just…..my own flesh and blood…..fighting against me…..trying to kill me…..”
”It’s painful, isn’t it Master Bruce? The sense of betrayal, the feeling of failure that you weren’t able to stop them from making that bad decision.”
”You still think about what happened to Julius?”
At the height of the cold war Alfred and his brother both operated in the Soviet Union, gathering intel for MI6. One night the KGB paid them a visit and abducted Alfred, but left his brother unharmed. It turned out Julius had agreed to sell Alfred out in exchange for being granted asylum with the Union. They executed him two days later for spying. It was only after a prisoner exchange organised through the United States government that Alfred was released. I dread to think what he was put through during his time in captivity, but it was enough to make Alfred consider leaving the service. Were it not for the intervention of the head of MI6, Alfred would have left the service there then. Instead it would be the events of the Santa Prisca revolts that would lead him to retire from the service. It’s after his retirement that Alfred met my Father.
In a way, were it not for the events of Santa Prisca I wouldn’t have Alfred today and that’s something I dread to think of.
”Yes. May he rest in peace.”
Alfred never likes to talk about Julius. He prefers to remember the good times rather than what his final act was.
”I’m sorry that I’m bringing up those memories again Alfred.”
”It’s alright Master Bruce. I just hope you can do for that young man what I couldn’t for Julius.”
”Let’s hope so Alfred. Let’s hope so.”
”How long do you think it will take for him to get here?”
”He’ll be coming with the full force of the League. At best I’d say we have two weeks.”
”You think he’ll come for the boy?”
”I’m certain of it. We need to be ready.”
”Shall I send work to Master Dick?”
”No. The last thing I need is him worrying before it happens. He’ll just get in the way. Have we heard anything from Jason?”
”Nothing. I suspect his comms have been destroyed though. I sent a feedback signal and got nothing back from them.”
”We can only hope.”
”Shall I dispatch the Batwing to Greene’s house sir?”
”No. We need to consolidate our forces. If Jason’s out there, he’ll make it here by himself.”
”Bruce……….”
”It appears your son wants a word with you.”
”So it would seem. Where’s Tim?”
”Last I heard he said he was going to visit his father.”
”Glad to hear. Keep trying to reach Jason on his comms. If he doesn’t respond we’ll have to begin preparing a contingency plan.”
”Brucie……..”
”I’ll deal with our guest.”
”Very good Master Bruce.”
I raise my cowl over my face and walk down to the brig. There in the middle cell stands Damian without his armoured suit and with a smug look across his face. He’s had that look on his face ever since he regained consciousness in the cell much to my annoyance, all because he knows that he holds the advantage. Ra’s will be coming for him and he’ll bring the entire League of Assassins with him. Even with all our allies, we’ll be outnumbered.
But numbers aren’t everything.
”How long do you think it’ll be before he comes then Father? I reckon it will take him ten days to assemble all the League’s forces and bring them to Gotham.”
”Ra’s won’t make a move until his agents are in place throughout Gotham. Fourteen days is the best case scenario.”
”So……you’ve accepted the truth. I take it you ran another DNA test then?”
I nod for a brief moment or two.
”I’ve accepted the truth of where you come from. That doesn’t make you my son.”
”What I being taken in due to pity does?”
”All three of them are more like sons to me than you.”
”I’ll enjoy ramming my sword through you heart when this is all over. Gotham will soon be known as the City of the Demon.”
”Not whilst I still draw breath.”
“That, I intend to remedy once I’m free of this cage. You know this won’t hold me Bruce.”
”No. It won’t. But it will give me extra time. Enough time for me to turn the tide in my favour.”
”You keep telling yourself that Father. It’ll make it all the more glorious when you fall.”
”I’m sorry Damian. If I had known, I would have tried to save you. Instead I seem to have damned you to life of servitude.”
”I serve no-one!”
”I think Ra’s disagrees.”
With that I begin to walk up back to the batcomputer where Alfred’s desperately trying to reach Jason.
”Sound proof the cells Alfred.”
”Are you sure you really want to do that Master Bruce?”
”No. But I have no choice. It’s clear where Damian’s loyalties lie. I can’t have him knowing of our preparations.”
”So this is it?”
”I’ve known that was only a matter of time till he came for me.”
I take a deep breath and close my eyes. For a brief moment I’m at peace with my thoughts. Batman’s fight for survival may be over. But Bruce Wayne’s is about to begin.
”We’d better start making preparations for the Endgame protocol.”
”Yes Master Bruce.”
Two weeks. Two weeks to be ready. I just hope that’s enough time.
Yeah it's true..

It is difficult for even the most seasoned astronomer to resist taking time out of a busy observing schedule to stop and stare up at the gloriously rich southern sky. This image is a self portrait taken by astronomer Alan Fitzsimmons, who took this photo between observing sessions at ESO’s La Silla Observatory.

I was driving up to the Cascade Lookout at Manning Park. The road is very winding and hangs off the side of the mountain. I came around a bend and spotted this deer. It tried to cross over to the other side but it was a very vertical rock face and it went back to the edge which was a substantial drop. Fortunately there was no traffic and I pulled over to the right as far as I could and there was enough room for the deer to bound past me.

During these challenging and difficult times, show some love for our emergency services; out there doing their best to help and protect us. From fairies at the bottom of your garden to 'the borrowers' we are obsessed with the fantasy of little people in a
full-sized world. My 'downsizing' project, using model railway figures, food and everyday objects, is merely an
extension of those thoughts.

In the extremely difficult and stressful time that we are all in now, please do remember to be patient and to be kind and thankful to everyone who still has to work, especially Health Care workers - my daughter is one of them, and she said that she is overly stressed and exhausted, partly because of families and visitors who lose their temper over restrictions that have been put in place in the hospital.
About a week ago, I finally made a trip to a couple of stores, that I really didn't want to do. I knew that if there were a lot of people, I would instead turn around and go home. I needed food and I did buy an extra one of various items - but no hoarding. The cashier at the food store told me that one of the younger cashiers had been in tears because of being yelled at by some customers. At the drug store, the young woman cashier told me that she was so stressed out, again partly because of angry, yelling customers, that she was about to burst into tears. We had a talk, as there was no one waiting behind me in line, and I made sure to thank her for meticulously sanitizing the work space at the till. A few kind words can make all the difference, people! There were no line-ups at either store, for which I was extremely thankful. I know I do need to be very careful myself - I have 3 of the risk factors; age, high blood pressure, and the most concerning being a chronic cough that I have had for maybe 10 or so years, which sometimes turns into a coughing fit where I can't breath. Went through all sorts of tests but no one could find a cause. So, here I am, still coughing! The last thing I would want is the Coronavirus cough on top of it! Stay safe and well, everyone!!

Friday, 27 March 2020: our temperature just after noon is +8C (windchill +5C). Sunrise is at 7:21 am, and sunset is at 8:02 pm. Sunny today.
The 9 photos posted today were all taken on Day 11 of our 13-day birding trip to South Texas, in March 2019. They are almost the last few photos taken that day, Only a few photos to post from the next day, Day 12, and I will be done!
The first place we went to was the Birding and Nature Centre, on South Padre Island. The afternoon before, we had spent two hours there, but our "proper" visit was for three hours in the morning of Day 11. Such a great place!
Simply amazing artist! "The South Padre Island Convention Center boasts one of only 100 Wyland Whaling Wall murals. The mural titled "Orcas of the Gulf of Mexico," depicts life-sized killer whales and is number 53 of Wyland's Whaling Walls series."
This is a list of Whaling Walls, which are large outdoor murals by the artist Robert Wyland, featuring images of life-size gray whales, breaching humpback whales, blue whales, and other sea life. Whaling Walls (a pun on the Wailing Wall) are created by invitation of the communities, institutions, and building owners of the structures on which they are painted. The one hundredth and possibly final Whaling Wall was painted in Beijing in 2008" From Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Whaling_Walls
Someone told us about a different location, and a short drive south from the Centre took us to around W Sheepshead St and Laguna Blvd, where we saw a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Monarch butterflies, and a Green Anole (lizard).
We had our picnic lunch at the nearby Convention Centre, which is near the Birding and Nature Centre, and then looked for a Yellow-throated Warbler from the rear patio at the Centre. Amazingly, we did see it, along with a Black-and-white Warbler and a Wilson's Warbler. Not easy trying to photograph these fast-moving little birds that get hidden among the branches.
Driving north again, we called in at a beach that was part of the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, where we could enjoy seeing the ocean waves and Laughing Gulls. This was our last stop before returning to our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Brownsville.
The next day, 30 March 2019, we had to drive from Brownsville to Houston, where we stayed for one night at La Quinta Inn & Suites Houston. The following day, we flew from Bush Intl Airport back to Calgary. What a fantastic holiday we had!
Difficult to move in the garden at the moment without tripping over a baby bird of some type. These siblings were enjoying a little sunbathing on my patio while I kept watch for the local Sparrowhawks.
Difficult to get across to many here. The food value- negative number. But people are distracted by other issues.
Difficult to date accurately, probably mid-winter in the mid-sixties, but a delightful shot non-the-less. The window sticker appears to say 'from Nottingham', highly useful if only the destination screen said where it was going!
It is difficult to be exactly sure where this was taken. The position was a few hundred yards west of Bath Spa Station, but no road seems to correspond with this position on either a modern A-Z or a 1970ish Geographia Street by Street. There has been some demolition ...or is it simply dereliction... in the left foreground. Most of the cars are getting to the old banger stage. The Humber Sceptre, Ford Cortina Mk I Estate, Ford Anglia and VW camper van would all be well into the second halves of their lives. The mustard-coloured affair on the far side of the road would be newer, but unfortunately I have never been able to identify cars later than the 1960s. Would the lorry be one of those melodious Commers with the two-stroke engines? The slow-moving "Western" is hauling a train of Foster-Yeoman wagons, probably empties bound for Merehead Quarry, near Frome. The date was Friday 18th July 1975.
Its difficult to believe that it has been 3 years since I built this model and finally photographed it!
To be fair, it was substantially rebuilt last year just before exhibiting it at Skærbæk 2019 in Denmark. The model has the following features:
1. Full interior lighting
2. Directional headlamps
3. PFx Brick sound effects
4. Dual 9V motor bogies with dedicated motor channels from the PFx Brick
5. Close coupling mechanism which elastically expands around corners and switches
I will be uploading some more detailed shots of the interior, lighting, couplers, etc. very soon for the benefit of anyone interested in those sorts of details.
As difficult as it is for me to get older, it's also hard to see my good friends getting older too. This is my friend Kay and her granddaughter Ambry. They were up skiing at Snow Basin and called to ask me out to lunch. I can no longer keep up with them on the ski slopes as Kay is an excellent skier. I don't like black diamonds and prefer the Bunny Hill. I've done a few black diamonds but freak out if they get too difficult. It's probably because I'm very afraid of heights. One time I was climbing the Grand Teton in Wyoming with my husband and his brother Robert.
We were almost to the top (at the upper saddle) but stopped to camp for the night. I was so happy when a ranger turned everyone away the next morning because of bad weather. I was becoming sick with anxiety about the last stretch of the climb. If you want to see how difficult it is, google to see the exposed overhangs. From the upper saddle it's still a 6 to 8 hour climb to advance two miles and 2700 feet in elevation to reach the summit. The Grand Teton is 13,776 ft. tall (4,178 m.)
