Awake for a quick snack during the day.

So busy, so many Rufous hummingbirds around this year

Digging in to the storage vault today. This image is from 2014 in Badlands National Park. A drizzly morning produced the wet plumage on this Western Meadowlark. I like images of these birds singing, but the rain seemed to dampen its mood as well as its feathers, so no singing.

Squirrel Digging up Nuts it from last Summer.

Digging the potatoes

Over a foot and half of snow and bone chilling temps. 5* all day yesterday and I walked to the mail box and fed the birds...........that's it.

The pair of 567's are humming while WSOR 4492 and 2002 are pulling for all their worth, as we climb the steep grade out of Utley on the Markesan sub with a full pull from Delmonte and Badger Mining on this fine summer afternoon.

Fairwater, WI. August 1991

After a brutal winter storm which shut us down for 4 days, it was so good to see the sun!

Digging spuds, in this case, Maris Pipers, in a field on the outskirts of Birchington.

Busy Bee on Thistle (weed here)

Not so proud and nice when digging for a snowball treasure

This is how we were affected by the swell,the odd bit of water coming onboard and obviously our speed was right down.

FYI we are 60 metres wide and at the time our draft was 22.0 metres

Southern Railway "Merchant Navy" Class No.35018 "British India Line" works hard to get last Sunday's return "The Waverley" Carlisle - York charter up the gradient and away from the former Cumwhinton station.

Just digging through the archives and came across this one. It was made at a hotel with artificial lighting, so the colour was interesting but felt unnatural, so I converted to monochrome and kind of tided it up a bit. I particularly like the subtleties of the mist and complexities of the detail. Anyway, I need to start shooting again, haven’t been out in anger for quite a long time! Bloody Covid!!!

Brothers Wiki and Cocoa discover snow is really, really COOL! From jumping, leaping, digging and burrowing, catching snowflakes and making pawprints, this is the most fun they've had all week!

It amazes me that this Red-Shoulder hawk hunts for worms this way. Does he see them or hear them?

Lower Saxony - Göhrde

The Göhrde is the largest contiguous mixed forest area in northern Germany. Here you can get to know a natural area that is unique in its own special way. The Göhrde state forest is an impressive woodland area and its core areas are covered with very old trees.

Also known for the Göhrde murders.

It used to be the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneberg and later, the Kings of Hanover and the German Emperor. At the time of the murders the forest stood close to West Germany's border with East Germany.

Also the E6 is on the route.

The E6 European long-distance hiking trail is part of the European hiking trail network and runs from Kilpisjärvi in north-western Finland to the Dardanelles in Turkey. The total length is 6030 kilometers.

Dunlin digging in the shallow water

Just digging around in the past and came across this from a dusk shot in winter. I think I overlooked it a few years ago because I had (and still do to some regards) an aversion to manmade things and have attempted to showcase natural beauty in all that is nature. But, I like it, even if it’s full of buildings and unnatural light. Thing is, will it evoke the emotional reaction in time? Not sure but who knows? Anyway, if you have read this far you may agree or disagree with me… (o:

I was wondering what all these people were doing on a Sunday morning at the beach. Apparently not one of them was going into the water. I found out they were digging for shells in the sand. The water had just retreated leaving behind fresh shells. People like this man collected them in order to sell them on the local market.

We were trying to dig to England to visit some people but we only got to tan grass.
