The wind and cold was wicked and strong but it was such a Fabulous evening on Bow Summit looking down on Peyto Lake that dear friend Sergio and I only noticed it when the high winds almost blew us away. Our grins of joy almost froze on our faces as the sun went down. One of my favorite experiences.
I'll be away for a bit. My father is turning 90 and we'll be spending time with family.
Have a wonderful week!
The most exciting thing is always at the border. Be it the boundary between light and dark or between cold and warm or between fog and sunshine.

Why'd you ever want to leave?
Why'd you go home?
Why, when the view is this good?
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Does the beauty go away if you stay too long?
Does it lose its impact?
What is enough?
How much is too much?
How can I know?
When can I go back?
I want to go back.
I always want to go back.

A different experience in every season: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are exquisite, tranquil and inspiring all year round. Different footpaths, cycle routes and horse trails will lead you – with or without the aid of a forest ranger – through the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most unique areas of nature. There are no less than 80 fens in this stunning green expanse – pretty impressive, right?
Four seasons
Whether it’s the frozen fairy-tale fens of the winter, the dynamics of nature coming to life in spring, the musical croaking of frogs in the summer, or the explosion of colours in the autumn: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are a feast for all the senses.
Spot kingfishers, deer and roe deer, or bear witness to the wide variety of insects and water creatures in the fens and ditches. And after an exhilarating day of activity or sport, head to one of the large terraces to enjoy the peace and quiet and a tasty snack, lunch or dinner.Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens Groot Speijck Visitor Centre has a great terrace, as does Boshuis Venkraai. And both are ideal places to relax and soak up the surroundings.
for all of us. The elk cow to the right had to go back and get her baby calf because it wouldn't come. She looked rather perturbed judging by her ears being pinned back every once in a while. The very last baby was hurt in the hind end when it climbed the bank. If it doesn't heal soon things won't look good for it, the predators prey on the weak. Taken from my kayak.
Another Halloween and another collaboration with Gwyn. As usual, I am asked to do a photograph but with little else given, so I show up and suddenly I am chased by a deranged witch, with a knife!
Such are the moments of SL.
What a wonderful experience we had filming and photographing wild Badgers, here is the link to watch it’s amazing! youtu.be/qX_5aFeYxmQ
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

A Northbound barge train rips North out of portage heading towards Anchorage with the rest of the freight leftover from the barge in Whittier
Today, 4/7/2018 was fledge day. All five little ones were escorted off the property shortly after fledging during the late afternoon. There were no hawks or crows around during the time so things went rather well. I did not have to swing in to action with a broom :)
Lady and Mr. B were clicking and dive bombing all yard visitors except me. They allowed me to take a couple of shots of this little one too. I feel special. All of the other little peeps were hidden pretty well in Oak three. This one landed on some hanging fruit I keep for the butterflies. Butterflies like rotting fruit.
That's the good news, the bad news is... It's their first few hours out of the box and we are about to experience a whale of a storm. Good luck little ones.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
While Graham took Rufus out for his last prom, I took my soft drink outside onto the patio.
As I opened the door, I noticed our Collared Dove was on the table, so slipped back inside for my camera.
I spent about ½hr out there with it, while it had some bird seed and a drink. It didn't mind my camera at all and I began breathing again when it finally flew off!
An honour, privilege and just wow.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

This old surrey school is about to be pulled down for houses but I thought I would have a wander around before it was demolished. A spooky experience especially as the interior has been severely trashed and I definitely heard rustlings in the building, probably an animal but who knows!

Visited a very quite Moraine Lake ("above" Lake Louise). the parking lot at L. Louise was full again so we decided to try our luck at Moraine. No problems parking there. You should have seen it last year, people lining up at the road entrance at 5:00AM to get up to the lake. Like it a bit better this way. ;( though mixed feelings about the reasons !! see date if you remember those times.

Siento la necesidad de desconectar de internet y de todo lo que eso conlleva; de las redes sociales o antisociales, como quieran llamarlas…
Creo que me tomaré ese tiempo (no sé si largo o corto) para conectar conmigo misma.
Due to a train sticking out of Pierce Yard that was just barely occupying the control point at Gulf Coast Jct., the crew of the Belle was forced to stop and manually line the switches through Gulf Coast Jct. to get off the East Belt and onto the Beaumont Sub; CPKC executives onboard (I believe including CEO Keith Creel) got a firsthand look into UP's ever-efficient Houston operations.
Now in the clear, CPKC D41B-07 is seen getting underway down the ex-MP Beaumont Sub, for 80 miles of smooth sailing back to home rails in Beaumont. Arriving in Shreveport later in the afternoon, the consist would turn and burn down to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX that same weekend.
Without a doubt, the alpinism is an amazing experience with a little bit of adrenaline dose and outstanding landscapes.
This image is taken during the ascent to Island Peak. After a big snowstorm, nobody had come at the summit, because a lot of snow. However, we decided to try. All in all, it was going to be an authentic adventure.
Sin duda alguna el alpinismo es una emocionante experiencia con un toque de adrenalina e impresionantes paisajes.
Esta imagen fue tomada durante el ascenso al Island Peak. Después un gran tormenta de nieve, nadie había conseguido llegar a la cima por la gran cantidad de nieve. No obstante, decidimos intentarlo. Con todo, iba a ser una gran aventura.

Clouds at various elevations stack themselves atop the softly glowing Henry Mountains, with the canyons of the Green River glowing with sunrise light in the foreground, Grandview Point, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
Investigating troves of images from the past, I discovered this one, which brought me back instantly to one of the most memorable sunrises I can recall, mostly due to the fact that I don't get out with my brother very often, and he was foolhardy enough to come with me and experience the biting cold, wind and light. Hot coffee helped, but it was still a bit of a motivational issue to leave the shelter of the van.
Here's to family and no common sense!
