I followed a Julieanne Kost tutorial the other day and somehow I must have missed a step because it wasn't supposed to be quite like this. One day I will start again but in the meantime I thought I'd keep this anyway, I quite liked it.
These are 10 images of mine, severely cropped after applying 2 blur filters.
After having our first warm day of this spring, which short lived, a cold front came in with rain and freezing rain. I hope this yellow daffodils will survive.
The wind blew down my perfect reflection shot expectation

CSX train M416-05 was at Harper's Ferry crossing the Potomac River and exiting Maryland.
Landfall is made and the westbound is now in West Virginia. This daily manifest runs between Rocky Mount, North Carolina and terminates in Cumberland, Maryland.
The good stuff (EMDs) were of course trailing the GE.
Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California. My favorite place on the coast.
From my Stuff in the Sand collection.
The business on the ends are definitely closed and the cooperative in the middle seems to be. Probably victims of COVID. This is not a terrible neighborhood.
After flapping and running along the water for a bit and not getting airborne it gave up and dove under the surface. Must have been embarrassed with a boat load of people watching.
Anthuriums are a fun flower and never fail to provoke a smile.
They look almost unreal!
The flowers are thick, shiny, ribbed and wrinkled, while the leaves are large and glossy, thus very 'reflective', which makes them so much more difficult to photograph well! Yes I do love a challenge!
The flowers are hermaphrodite, containing male and female flowers.
Quite a whimsical flower.
Yet I do love a challenge!
They belong to the Araceae family, which also includes callas and philodendrons.
Their genus name, Anthurium, comes from the Greek words anthos meaning "flower," and oura, meaning "tail."
Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.

I've seen otters try (and fail) attempting to catch ducks and ducklings but this is the first time I've seen one take a live bird as prey
I hadn't even seen the moorhen on the far side of the river but the otter clearly had - it dived and sped underwater before surfacing directly under the defenceless moorhen

One of the latest electrification projects in Poland, before the communism finally collapsed, was that of the line between Piła and Krzyż, in fact a fragment of famous Ostbahn line. I suppose further plans would enhance the electrification to Gorzów and finally Kostrzyn at the German border, but let's focus on this very part, that would logically close another electrificated parallel connection East - West.
The concept not only materialized on drawing boards, but first works started, and soon ended as the situation in Poland changed rapidly after 1989 and all that remained were these poles installed for catenary, just outside of Piła in direction of Krzyż. Anyway, they were there for several years, as I don't know whether they're sill there.
It's not the end of the story, as the idea comes every couple of years. Actually there're some design works and it's said that thanks to EU funds the electrification, at least from Piła to Krzyż, would take place in the second half of 2020s.
And the picture: SU45-221 with evening regional passenger train no. 3322 from Kostrzyn to Piła Główna, before reaching the terminus. It passes precisely Powodowo Prefabet junction (the switch is just after the last wagon). May 1, 2003.

Jeden z ostatnich jeszcze komunistycznych projektów elektryfikacyjnych dotyczył odcinka Ostbahny między Piłą i Krzyżem, co sensownie uzupełniałoby zelektryfikowany ciąg Kutno - Toruń - Bydgoszcz - Piła - Krzyż i otwierałoby dalsze możliwości nad kontynuacją do Gorzowa i w końcu Kostrzyna.
Projekt wyszedł nawet z fazy projektowej, bowiem znakiem pierwszych prac elektryfikacyjnych są te słupy, widoczne na fotce. Na zdjęciu co prawda widzimy tylko dwa - ostatnie, ale jest ich dużo więcej w kierunku Piły. Jest, albo było, bowiem zdjęcie z 1 maja 2003 roku, a po tym czasie tematu nie zglębiałem, więc może w końcu słupy zdemontowano.
Temat elektryfikacji tego odcinka jest wciąż żywy, aktualnie trwają kolejne fazy projektowe i mówi się, że drut zawiśnie na tym odcinku Ostbahnu jeszcze w drugiej połowie lat 2020.
Na fotce SU45-221 z pociągiem osobowym 3322 z Kostrzyna do Piły Głównej, tuż przed końcem podróży. Pociąg właśnie minął posterunek bocznicowy szlakowy Powodowo Prefabet (rozjazd ledwie widoczny za ostatnim wagonem).

I had high hopes for this Monarch larva to make it to the next stage of metamorphosis, but alas, it ran out of gas I guess and failed to complete the pupa construction. It's a very sad image and I thought hard about posting it, but in the end I guess I wanted to show exactly how challenging, fragile and dear the full life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to butterfly really is. If you need orientation, it's hanging by the butt end. There are still a number of larvae chomping away, and a few have headed up the garage wall to hang in the eves. Honestly, I'll be thrilled if my perfect pupa I posted yesterday makes it.
A trip to Gloucestershire, Plan A failed, Plan B failed so Plan C was to spend a few hours at WWT Slimbridge to rescue the day.
A Sparrowhawk flew low across the water to land on a fence post and then viewed its surroundings for 15 minutes before flying off.
Sparrowhawks are small birds of prey.
As a top predator, Sparrowhawks can only thrive if their prey is present in good numbers and has a healthy population.
I ordered the pattern from Etsy, reduced it some, and made this catnip fish for our cat family. (hand-stitched, mind you) Instead of filling it completely with dried catnip, I made a cylindrical pouch and inserted it along with the stuffing.
As you'll see in the following photographs, there just hasn't been much enthusiasm for the fish toy. I wonder if Jimmy made a peace pact with the fish.
