New kid on the block, British India Line, digs in to the climb to Aisgill at Waitby, with the second southbound Dalesman charter train of the season, May 8th 2018. The 3 cylinder exhaust beat sounded very crisp, great to hear after all the teething problems!
A pymgy goat arrived early and had the whole cart of feeds to itself at the Country Farm in Richmond BC.

The eastern one-third of the United States, southern Ontario and Quebec was hit by a nasty "Texas Low" storm between March 2 and March 4, 2023. The intense low-pressure system started in Texas, gained strength from the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and travelled north and east across the Southern States, then the Eastern Midwest and up to the Southeastern Great Lakes and then part of the New England area.
Depending where one is, heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms, tornadoes, sleet/ freezing rain, wet snow, and heavy snow were encountered by millions of people. For us in the Toronto area, we got some 25+ cm (10 inches) of very sticky and wet snow overnight.
The chase is on. Two Red Fox kit siblings (Vulpes vulpes) chase in play but they always stay close to the entrance to their den. Image taken in Jackson County, Colorado.

Today is my birthday and to say I'm unwell is a bit of an understatement. I have 2 of the children home ill as well as an ill husband. So thought I would have a little look through my archives and this is what I found. I hope you all like it x

mileage 23
because my tire and odometer are being changed, I will be back to '0' on the next ride so remember this number, 87. I'll call this the pre-season and tack that mileage on at the end of the season.
But until it warms up again, I'll be picking up sticks.
In the trees by the Holme Observatory this Goldfinch was happily feeding on pine seeds sheltered from the winds.

Please help identify this lovely bird. It's not that small, about the size of a pigeon....
With a bit of "digging" on my part, it could be a female Northern flicker.
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.
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."
