Mistle Thrush foraging on grassed areas adjacent to Killingworth Lake.

Sometimes Polar Bears will pound and dig at the hard snow to get at roots or voles for some dietary supplements before they head to the mouth of the Churchill River for seal hunting.

Nagarkot , Nepal! It was chilly morning. Went for a walk in Nagarkot, I wish I had take many more photos.

A few more images from a special morning surprise; two Pileated Woodpeckers!

If some racers wander off the beaten path they can end up in the soft dirt. And this can happen. (DSC_4152.jpg)

With Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, and Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft). The founders of Google and Twitter were to my right for this TED Braintrust lunch.

 

An usual confluence of invitations had me dining with Gates for lunch and dinner on the same day (coincidentally, philosopher-king Daniel Dennett was also at both meals).

 

After we sat down, Gates lamented the setback from the Muslim clerics who preached that polio vaccines made the girls infertile: "The anti-vaccine movement has killed many people. It's frustrating. But we are working with the clerics. It is very hierarchical, so we can start at the top. In the next three years, we will either conquer polio, or we won't. It's a very important time."

Digging into History

 

Young Hollish then spent the rest of the day in the Castle's vast library, and after climbing several ladders to find unused, dust covered cabinets locked with strange spells and heavy iron bands, she came away with a family history of Nightrose.

 

No such traditions as the Duke described were mentioned, and certainly nothing about flaming puppies of any kind. It did however mention that every other Solstice, the Duke's bride had to be sacrificed to appease "The Vengeful Harpy of the Woods"...whatever that was.

 

It said this Harpy was kept imprisoned just beyond the tree line towards the coast and she resolved loudly to go investigate it that very evening.

 

The Duke, sneaking around behind her...was less than pleased about that resolve, but grateful that being young and mostly innocent she tended to speak all her thoughts out loud as exposition.

Been digging through old photos a lot lately.

Finally made it to the top of this building currently undergoing renovation with some of the best views in London.

 

This was on the way down from the top in the early hours.

 

Too bad it was extremely windy and it was hard work keeping the tripod steady.

With both EMD's roaring on a fully loaded 5444N Westons grain from Penny's Rd at Bellata, SSR102 and SSR101 bog down and struggle up the harsh 1/40 grade as they snake their way out of Doughboy Hollow to the top of Ardglen Bank.

The train would arrive into Newcastle long after dark and become one of the first SSR trains to tip at Carrington, where the train would form to 4841N and head West to load again.

While we were at Pian delle Nere, I decided to take a pic of Zoe that's doing what she loves the most (after the snow): digging! 😂
