That's me! This, sadly, wasn't taken by me, my sister took it but I really liked it. I'm working on a stop motion, the best one I think that I've done so far :)
Expected release will be in April 2019. Visit our website or our resellers pages to reserve yours tomorrow starting at 10 am Central Standard Time. Limited quantities available.
What do you guys think?
In April we expected Spring but we had a return to winter! And May has just repeated April weather patterns. Our coldest May on record!
By the end of the month some warmth and even heat has crept into the mix, and as May ends with the Bank Holiday Monday we have sunshine and blue skies.
The garden is beginning to bloom, and there is a feeling of 'catching up' and 'making up for lost time'. And I feel the same! The constant cold has kept us indoors too, and now we want to catch up and see how the world around us has fared during the long 8-9 months of winter. We had a week earmarked for outings in May, but never managed to brave the cold and the rain. Maybe we can try again in June? Fingers are crossed!!
In pandemic terms the talk is all of the new Indian variant. "We'll be led by the data not by dates" was the mantra of the last few months, but it seems that the dates are ruling everything, as England looks set for a June end to restrictions. Here in Scotland we have beaten down a local flare up in our neighbouring county of Moray, but are struggling to contain the new variant in Glasgow. Maybe a summer of vacations and sun is not to be? 'On a knife edge' probably sums it up as we move into June....
Once again, thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves. I hope the collage gives an enjoyable look back through May.

Snow covered the northeastern United States on last day of meteorological winter, 2014. Climatologists and meteorologists break seasons down into three-month groups, based on annual temperature and our calendar. This method is helpful for weather observing and forecasting, and for planning consistent agricultural dates, such as expected first frosts or best planting date. Meteorological winter – the season where temperatures are, on average, coldest and when snow is most likely to fall – runs from December 1 to February 28 in the United States and Canada.
Winter can also be defined by the astronomical calendar, which is based on the rotation of the Earth around the sun. In this method, the seasons are defined by two solstices (times when the sun’s path is furthest from the Earth’s equator) and two equinoxes (the times when the sun passes directly above the equator). In the Northern Hemisphere, winter begins on the winter solstice, which falls on or around December 22 and ends on or around March 21, at the vernal (spring) equinox.
On February 28, 2014, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of a sunny winter day in the northeastern United States. Snow stretches from Maine west to Indiana and south along the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains well into West Virginia. In Canada, the landscape appears greener, primarily because snow lies on conifers (evergreen) trees in the boreal forest regions. The Great Lakes, with the exception of Lake Ontario, are almost completely covered with ice.

There are thousands of objects you'd expect to find in a hardware store, far too many to list here. The list of known and unknown things that are not associated with hardware stores is infinitely longer.
One such thing is seen here. It's a cross-section of what must have been a historic, specimen sized tree.
In other settings this object would have been converted into a calendar on which different rings represent key dates in history: the Fall of Constantinople, the Diet of Worms, the Treaty of Westphalia, the Articles of Confederation, the first daily Peanuts comic strip, and so on.
Unlike a date on a calendar, which is a two-dimensional ink image, each ring in this piece of wood is an actual contemporary of the events that took place when the ring was formed. The same sun and moon shone over them both.
Here, the visible part of the slice is mute. If there is an explanatory label and a ring chronology it must be hidden behind merchandise.

I am leaving for my annual winter photo trip to the North Shore. This is my favorite trip of the year. In the winter each and every time you visit, the conditions and scenery change sometimes by the hour. You never know what to expect!
See you all when I get back!
After a long slow crawl and getting soaked to the bone in a downpour . Finally managed a few frames of this stunning expecting mother.

Tuesday 9 November, Porto line 22 operated for its last day. It's expected to return in about three years.
The reason for the suspension is the construction of the underground station São Bento / Praça da Liberdade of the new line G of the Metro do Porto. On the last day tram 220 leaves Praça da Liberdade. This is the location where the new underground station will be built.

Wasn't expecting to see this in Robertsbridge today, and this vehicle was on Southeastern Trains Rail Replacement Services from Hastings to Robertsbridge and was seen turning into Station Road Hill.

I have family in Florida. Expect to see them in March. In the past would often go to Disney though don’t expect to this time. Bought this awhile ago “for a co-workers daughter”. And some Minnie ears. Love Tinkerbell. Shes beautiful on the outside but no soft touch. She’s sassy and mischievous. Petulant and at times ferocious but loyal even if it will break her heart or cost her her life. She doesn’t tolerate fools and can be very impatient. She provides the energy for neverland and is no ordinary fairy. She’s a tinker. And I absolutely love her. Even her imperfections are perfect. So keep your whiny mermaid who has everything and isn’t satisfied and who allows her father to be sacrificed on her behalf because she was chasing a boy she never spoke to. I’ll take Tink every moment of every day!
In the three years of watching the BLE in PA i never expected to see a tunnel motor or even a 38 pull autoracks so close to where i grew up. I had shot the 910 several times hauling ore and saw it countless other times at North Bessemer while we exchanged trains with them.
Saturday night i was experimenting with an old liqueur recipe from my mother. She made this kind of liqueur for Christmas using oranges, cinnamon and sloe. As I have no idea where I could get sloe I used pomegranate instead. I love pomegranate, it is a beautiful fruit with an extraordinary color and it tastes good, too. They are just difficult to clean, everything looks splattered afterwards. So, now I have to wait 6 weeks until I can try it – in the mean time I expect the best.
Sorry for the blurry pic on the left.. it was past midnight.

Expecting a 37, 47 or a 57, it was a big surprise to see 43076 and 43089 appear from underneath Bromford Bridge with 0Q94 Leicester LIP to Long Marston. The pair were going to collect a single Mk3 to take back to Leicester LIP.
The city of Calgary is still under serious water use restrictions, not expected to end any time soon. The first day of the disastrous water main break was 5 June 2024.
The actual colour of the elevator on the right is orange, but my camera shot my photos as pink!
Three days ago, on 20 June 2024, Summer Solstice, I spent several enjoyable hours driving the backroads SE of Calgary. There were three or four areas or locations that I wanted to revisit, mainly old barns. I hadn't really thought about getting as far as Mossleigh, but with a sky full of clouds, it seemed the right kind of day to photograph the three beautiful old grain elevators.
My day started off with a spur-of-the-moment stop at two of my favourite old barns. Just a quick few photos and off I went, driving further southwards. Once I left the highway, I was free to explore quite a few of the rough, gravel back roads. It was a good feeling knowing that I had finally got my winter tires taken off my car the day before, plus an inspection of my vehicle.
One road I drove along had such a great variety of birds, including a Swainson's Hawk, that stayed on its fence post just long enough for me to get two shots through the windscreen, which, as usually happens, with an unpleasant greenish tinge. Most Swainson's that I see tend to stay around longer. Other birds seen along this road were several Eastern Kingbirds, including one that was actually perched in a tree, not on a fence post or balancing on barbed-wire. I was happy to see a Western Meadowlark, too, especially as it stayed for a while. The best sighting along this road was when I noticed a teeny white speck on the fence way down the road. Couldn't tell what it was until I zoomed in on my camera. To my delight, it was a Loggerhead Shrike. I knew that it would fly off if I got anywhere near to it, so I made do with a zoomed shot.
A quick stop at a favourite location of mine turned up a Yellow-headed and a Red-winged Blackbird, plus a few more Eastern Kingbirds. Only saw two Vesper Sparrows all day.
Hoping that the sky would not change too much before I eventually reached the hamlet of Mossleigh and its row of grain elevators, I enjoyed taking a few photos of these impressive oldies.
An absolute favourite old barn was my last stop before heading home. The clouds were less impressive by the time I reached the spot, but at least there were a few white ones.
Brazil is the world’s largest beef exporter by volume, leading a market that is expected to grow by 35% over the next two decades. With its vast territory, favorable climate, and strong cattle ranching culture, Brazil is poised to serve a growing share of the global market.
To face these challenges and spur a cycle of economic growth, Brazil’s beef industry must increase transparency across the supply chain, offering better visibility into the origins of its cattle and,most important, ensuring that production is not linked to deforestation.Brazil’s agribusiness industry has been a major driver of the country's economy. While Brazil’s GDP rose a mere 1.1% in 2019, agriculture grew3.81%—accounting for around 21% of the country’s total output. The beef industry, including retail and other associated sectors, is one of the main pillars of Brazil’s agribusiness sector, making up 8.5% of the country’s GDP in 2019.

Brazilië is qua volume de grootsterundvleesexporteur ter wereld en leidt een markt die naar verwachting dekomende twintig jaar met 35% zal groeien. Met zijn uitgestrekte grondgebied,gunstig klimaat en sterke veehouderijcultuur is Brazilië klaar om eengroeiend deel van de wereldmarkt te bedienen.
Om deze uitdagingen het hoofd te bieden en eencyclus van economische groei te stimuleren, moet de Braziliaanserundvleesindustrie de transparantie in de hele toeleveringsketen vergroten, eenbeter inzicht bieden in de oorsprong van het vee en, het allerbelangrijkste,ervoor zorgen dat de productie niet gekoppeld is aan ontbossing.

Brasilien ist der mengenmäßig größte Rindfleischexporteur der Welt und führt einen Markt an, der in den nächsten zwei Jahrzehnten voraussichtlich um 35 % wachsen wird. Mit seinem riesigen Territorium, dem günstigen Klima und der ausgeprägten Viehzuchtkultur ist Brasilien bereit, einen wachsenden Anteil des Weltmarktes zu bedienen.Um diesen Herausforderungen zu begegnen und einen Kreislauf des Wirtschaftswachstums anzukurbeln, muss die brasilianische Rindfleischindustrie die Transparenz in der gesamten Lieferkette erhöhen, einen besseren Einblick in die Herkunft ihres Viehs bieten und vor allem sicherstellen, dass die Produktion nicht mit der Abholzung der Wälder zusammenhängt. Die brasilianische Agrarindustrie war ein wichtiger Motor der Wirtschaft des Landes. Während Brasiliens BIP im Jahr 2019 lediglich um 1,1 % stieg, wuchs die Landwirtschaft um 3,81 % – was rund 21 % der Gesamtproduktion des Landes ausmachte. Die Rindfleischindustrie, einschließlich des Einzelhandels und anderer damit verbundener Sektoren, ist eine der Hauptsäulen des brasilianischen Agrarsektors und machte im Jahr 2019 8,5 % des BIP des Landes aus.
تعد البرازيل أكبر مصدر للحوم الأبقار في العالم من حيث الحجم، وتقود سوقًا من المتوقع أن تنمو بنسبة 35% خلال العقدين المقبلين. بفضل أراضيها الشاسعة، ومناخها الملائم، وثقافة تربية الماشية القوية، تستعد البرازيل لخدمة حصة متزايدة من السوق العالمية.
ولمواجهة هذه التحديات وتحفيز دورة من النمو الاقتصادي، يتعين على صناعة لحوم الأبقار في البرازيل أن تعمل على زيادة الشفافية عبر سلسلة التوريد، وتوفير رؤية أفضل لأصول الماشية، والأهم من ذلك، ضمان عدم ربط الإنتاج بإزالة الغابات. كانت صناعة الأعمال الزراعية في البرازيل محركًا رئيسيًا لاقتصاد البلاد. وفي حين ارتفع الناتج المحلي الإجمالي في البرازيل بنسبة 1.1% فقط في عام 2019، نمت الزراعة بنسبة 3.81%، وهو ما يمثل حوالي 21% من إجمالي إنتاج البلاد. تعد صناعة لحوم البقر، بما في ذلك تجارة التجزئة والقطاعات الأخرى المرتبطة بها، إحدى الركائز الأساسية لقطاع الأعمال الزراعية في البرازيل، حيث تشكل 8.5٪ من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي للبلاد في عام 2019.
ブラジルは世界最大の牛肉輸出国であり、今後 20 年間で 35% の成長が見込まれる市場をリードしています。広大な領土、良好な気候、強力な牧畜文化を備えたブラジルは、世界市場でますます大きなシェアを占める態勢が整っています。これらの課題に直面し、経済成長のサイクルを促進するために、ブラジルの牛肉産業は、サプライチェーン全体の透明性を高め、牛の産地の可視性を高め、最も重要なこととして、生産が森林破壊に結びつかないようにする必要があります。ブラジルのアグリビジネス産業は、ブラジル経済の主要な原動力となっています。 2019年のブラジルのGDPはわずか1.1%増加したが、農業は3.81%増加し、国の総生産量の約21%を占めた。小売およびその他の関連部門を含む牛肉産業は、ブラジルのアグリビジネス部門の主要な柱の 1 つであり、2019 年の同国の GDP の 8.5% を占めています。

Our celestial neighbour which is also the largest natural satellite. A seemingly cold, lifeless, extremely isolated, quiet and lonely world approx. 240,000 miles away. Seen here going through the routine phases revolving round the earth revealing its lunar features as it's gradually flooded with sunlight.
This process has been going on for the last few billion years and expected to continue for the next few billion years...hopefully.
Anyway, very few of us alive today will get to witness the closing ceremony of the ending of the moon's life cycle which is also ours.

Proposed site near Lake of Happiness to house my terrible horrible, annoying, incorrigible noisy upstairs neighbor. Place the entire family there indefinitely and they can exercise their usual worst form of inconsiderate behaviour at the most extreme level, make all the irritating noises they want without disturbing any human being ever.
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo.
What is vertigo?
Fear of falling?
No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.
It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
(From " The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera)
Sometimes daydreaming along the Ganges provides a sensory disorder or a sensation of being off-balance and then a strong desire to fall.
To fall and forget everything, to confide in the holy waters like this young man diving at Scindia ghat in Varanasi (Benaras)...
