Chinese were very rude to the ambassador': Queen
An official cameraman recorded the 90-year-old monarch rarely comments publicly on political matters, and media accompanying her are asked not to eavesdrop on private conversations.
Well, we're back from a week at WDW, and, as I expected it to be, one of my favorite experiences in the parks was the Boo To You parade. We camped out in Town Square for over an hour to have a prime spot looking straight up Main Street, and it was worth it. Pictured here is my favorite sequence with Haunted Mansion coming to life.
Not only was this a great spot to view the parade, it was also a great spot to catch the Headless Horseman make his ride. Look for that photo later this week!

We can regularly expect to see two of our four US Sapsuckers up here. The other one that is regular (if not common) is the Williamson's. The Red-breasted is primarily a West Coast bird, and the Yellow-bellied is mainly an Eastern bird... although Sapsucker vagrants may show up anywhere in North America. Our constructed bird oasis draws in nearly all of the avian population to be found in this area. This bird has stopped at our pond for a drink and has conveniently parked on one of my photo props. The small patch of white under her chin suggests her sex. She is clearly a first-year bird.

Honesty time. I've struggled for four years to get employment in my field. I finished my 4 year bachelor's program for photography and painting back in 2012. Since then I've busted my butt to get into advertising and have a consistent income. I knew it was going to be competitive, but I definitely was not expecting to still be counting my pennies come time for rent after 4+ years post graduation. It's rough. And it gets me down. I've bounced from serving jobs to internships that lead nowhere to scraping by on freelance mixed with savings. This summer the only job I was able to find that would hire me was a landscaping crew position. Pay isn't great and it's back breaking work, but it's exactly what I need in my life right now.
I've been glued to a computer screen for too many years feeling stressed and frustrated and I began to lose my love of art, the whole reason why I decided to study photography to begin with. So this summer I'm reconnecting with nature, breathing fresh air and being outside everyday, and kicking my body back into shape. It's hard, hot, dirty, sweaty, exhausting and certainly not glamorous. It's truthfully very humbling.
Several months later than originally expected, ex-Lothian open topper Dennis Trident Plaxton President V518 ESC was finally been delivered to the York depot in late 2017. This is the second of the batch to have been delivered as fully converted by Rotherham-based Magtec into a fully electric double decker using what is now a proven system of vehicle traction conversion, and so this joins sister V525ESC which was delivered a few weeks ago (though appearances in service had been sporadic, and the tours have now stopped running for the winter). The bus has gained the fleetnumber of 4018 in order to maintain simplicity by aligning numbers to registrations even though 4018 was previously a number allocated to a K-reg Olympian.
With tours having restarted for the year, 4018 has been brought back to York out of storage and is seen on its passenger-carrying debut on in the city on March 3rd with full Citysightseeing livery applied - and is among snow at the Leeman Road layby. As with 4025's first day, the destination equipment is not working with the front completely blank (the rear display tries to show a full width output but only for the Not In Service destination). The next expected electric delivery is of 4020 which has been converted but on last sighting was on testing runs still in South Yorkshire.
That first turn, i expect my stomach to do cartwheels and to get into a fistfight with the urge to throw up everywhere. My adrenaline spikes thinking of what’s about to happen, which makes what actually happens a glorious surprise, because we don’t lurch to a stop or encounter a nauseating change in altitude.
What we do, instead, is drift around the corner, the tires burning and squealing, I’m feeling the soreness in my right forearm two days later, holding onto that little strap comes from the roof, it’s keeping me in my seat, I’m elated, I’ve never done THIS in a car before, except for that one time in an ambulance and that was terrifying because it was raining and not on purpose and I had zero control of the vehicle and it’s a miracle we didn’t crash into anyone.
Whereas here, this drift is actually On Purpose.
Shea had invited me a month ago, right after he’d posted some photos from a drift event. I’d seen the Fast & Furious movies, I like driving fast, he said I could come through if I wanted, and it sounded like fun, something different. I’d take pictures, it’d be low-intensity.
Instead it's an addictive rush, struggling to take Good photos while also making sure I don't get whipped around the inside of the vehicle, trying out different cameras, stuffing them under my butt when it was time to switch, don't want to destroy these little antiques, also have to figure out what to DO with Polaroids, not even sure they won't get sucked out of the window with every exposure.
(I'm saving those for Polaroid week, they're coming, they're coming soon)
I occasionally hear a cackling while we're on the track, a laugh of unbridled joy...only to realize that's my cackle, that's my laugh.
"A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone."

"Expected transition" by PralineB.
We have no fear of time passing.
We have always known
That the Birds People take care of trans-humans.
They carries the universe,
The beyond, the unspeakable, in their bellies.
They are the elders of the Watchers.
We are the one,
We are the all.
The transition is occurring always
Under the watchful eyes of the Birds People.
They know the matrix creates the merger,
The merger creates the multicolored, multiple and unique being
Fused in the Birds to the infinite.
The universe and the beyond belong to the Birds People.
PB.
The Willow Wand was light in Dominique's hand, and had a pleasant swishy feeling. It felt eager, attentive; there was a lot to decide today. Dominique found Patricia exactly where she had expected to, in a side corridor just before lunch.
She approached the older girl timidly, unsure of how to play this.
"Patricia, I've got that wand for you. Can I have mine back?" she asked. The older girl merely nodded and held out her hand. Dominique passed over the willow wand. Patricia gave it a swish, but produced no magic. She pointed it at a statue nearby and said "Reducto", but only a fine layer of dust fell off.
She tossed the wand back to Dominique with a haughty air.
"I think I'll keep the other one. This one is a dud."
"But that's my wand!" she pleaded.
"Go away little second-year."
Dominique didn't go away. Instead she quietly wrapped the wand tassel around her wrist and assumed a duelling stance.
"I want my wand back McMahon. Give it to me."
The older girl turned, and yelled: "Expelliarmus!"
The wand flew out of her grasp, but the tassel acted as a leash, and she quickly caught it again, launching her own counter-curse. Patricia did not manage such a quick grab, and was nicely disarmed.
"You'll regret this, Rosier," said Patricia. "As soon as I get another wand, you're in trouble."
But Dominique had just the answer for that, a particular spell that her British cousins had inflicted on her one too many times.
She launched the Bat Bogey Hex at the sixth year with the full force of her vehemence. Patricia McMahon was quickly overwhelmed by her own bogeys, each flapping about her and attacking with dive-bombing raids. She quickly fled, desperately looking for someone with a wand who could end the curse.
She looked about. A couple of third-years looked astonished. Patricia's classmates merely nodded. There would be no retribution here.
Dominique picked up the Ebony wand and slid it into her sleeve, right where it belonged. This had been an interesting turn of events.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
and dreams of
Para-para-paradise.
What To Expect When You Get Your Wood Floors Refinished, A user experience t.co/eaNxeJkk2j t.co/vZ4S6AGDLP (via Twitter twitter.com/RefinishingPro/status/820639256876089344)
The British Airways i360 is a 162-metre (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, near to the remains of the West Pier. According to the operator, the "i" in the title stands for "intelligence, innovation and integrity". The i360 opened on 4 August 2016. The i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is the world's first vertical cable car and the world's tallest moving observation tower, the team expects the tower to appear in the 2017 Guinness Book of Records as "the world's slenderest tall tower".
as in 'nobody expects...' I was certainly not expecting to find a mature Bolete on a roastingly hot day on top of a chalk hillside in Oxfordshire in the middle of summer, but there it was, or rather there were two, where I had been hoping to find a frog orchid or two... If anyone can narrow down the species that would be much appreciated : ) Update, Lurid Bolete, many thanks Chris(s)!!
Wasn't expecting to see these in Rye today, and these vehicles were on Southern Trains Rail Replacement Services from Rye to and from Assford, Hastings and Bexhill.
So yeah I left Dover again, and these 10 shots were taken during the just 2 hours I spent in the "Ghost Town" that passed for Rye today, with very few people around enabling me to "Social Distance", and although there was also some stuff to see in Hastings today too, I decided not go that far as Hastings is a bigger place with more people.

Experiences such as this one make photography worthwhile for me. Last night I attended the People's Choice Dancesport Competition in Scottsdale, Arizona, which I knew nothing about until a friend told me about the event and asked if I planned to be there. And even then, I would not have been able to attend it if I had not had to take the day off work for other reasons. This was not a Fred Astaire event, but I did see some familiar faces there, including Rachael, whom I had not seen in about three years. This was taken while she was performing a foxtrot with her partner. When I showed it to her, she literally gasped, then spent several moments thanking me profusely and telling me how thrilled she was with it. From that moment until now, there was never any real doubt that this would be the first of my pictures from that evening to appear here on Flickr, although I expect to have plenty of other good ones by the time I am finished with them.
29-5-2015 - Small Planet Airlines, Airbus A320-214.
Here's an airline I never expected to see at Gatwick again, and technically I haven't! After a period of storage in Malta this A320 has very recently been placed into service with Small Planet Airlines (Obviously at very short notice too given the livery!). It is seen here on its first visit to Gatwick as LY-ONJ.
It appears the airline have also taken delivery of the former 5A-ONL(EI-ONL) too as that is now LY-ONL.
Info:
Aircraft was built in 2010 and carried the test reg. F-WWBF. It was delivered to Afriqiyah Airways as 5A-ONJ on 19-3-2010. Later re-registered as EI-ONJ on 29-5-2014.
Small Planet Airlines took delivery as LY-ONJ in May 2015.

Blackpool Routemaster 522, waits time at Squires Gate, on a thoroughly wet and miserable summer’s day in July 1987. Looking across Squires Gate Lane, you can see the former Fylde Borough Transport bus garage, who’s operations became part of Blackpool Transport in 1994. The old Fylde (ex Lytham St Annes Corporation) bus depot has long since demolished and the site re-developed for housing
During the 1980s, Blackpool acquired quite a few of these ex London Transport Routemaster buses for service in the seaside town. To be honest, I always thought this was a little odd, especially as Blackpool had just about wiped out its open-platform Leyland PD3 fleet by this time, ...all of which were newer?
18th July 1987.
What do you expect?

Wasn't expecting to see this in Dover today, and this vehicle had brought School Groups to Dover Castle which in winter still opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays for School Groups, however this was a bit of a grab shot as this Vehicle was parked on the main road near Dover Castle which only has a pavement on one side.

death anticipated...when his time is over, stoically bound and dragged into the lake by Lucifer himself
As the COVID19 pandemic creates economic consequences throughout the airline industry, two long-standing 747 fleets have been brought down. On March 29 both Quantas and KLM operated their last flights with the jumbo jets before parking their fleets, an expected move accelerated by current events.
Here's VH-OGH, the Hervey Bay from the Australian carrier, landing at JFK in 2015.
