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

Today is leapday and the sun made an attempt to rise, but was imediately caught in a cloudbank.
So much for that leap.
,and the bin liner...
For quite awhile now, whenever i have seen 6E26 Knowsley-Wilton household waste train, it has passed through P2 at a rate of knots....
so, to see it come up P1, then stop for a crew change, presented another opportunity...
This image is representational or a reflection of my thoughts on this coincidental event.
Of course we put rubbish in skips, and in bin liners, ( skip being a nickname for the Class 67 loco ),
Love ist patient and kind. Love ist not jealous.
It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its owen interests, does not become provoked.
It does not keep account of the injury.
It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.! 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

The Canary Islands Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus canariensis) is a small leaf warbler endemic to the Canary Islands. Local residents often call it the "mosquitero" because of its active habit of hunting insects.
Appearance and Voice
This bird is roughly 10–11 cm long and resembles the common chiffchaff but has a longer bill, shorter wings, and a longer tail.
Coloration:
It features brownish-green upperparts, buffy-yellow underparts, and a prominent long eyebrow (supercilium).
Song:
Its voice is similar to the common chiffchaff but faster and more "explosive". Palmeros on La Palma sometimes call it "chivi-chivi" after its distinctive song.
Behavior and Diet
Unlike its migratory relatives, this species is sedentary, staying on the islands year-round.
Feeding:
Primarily an insectivore, it hunts by flitting through foliage or hovering to catch prey.
Nectarivory:
Unusually for a warbler, it frequently feeds on the nectar of endemic Canary plants like the Canary bellflower, acting as an important pollinator.
Habitat and Subspecies
The species occupies nearly every habitat from coastal gardens and urban parks to pine forests above 2,000 meters.
P. c. canariensis:
The "Western" subspecies, found on Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro.
P. c. exsul:
The "Eastern" subspecies (Lanzarote chiffchaff), which is now considered extinct, with no reliable records since the late 20th century.
Nesting
It breeds between January and July. The female builds an oven-shaped nest (ball-like with a side entrance) from dry grass and moss, often hidden in trees, palms, or bushes. This shape has earned it the nickname "hornero" (oven-maker) on some islands.
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.

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.

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.

One wheel of the one lift that gives access to Grands Montets ski resort broke down yesterday.. A bunch of ski tourers (incl. me…) took advantage…
This iconic, beautiful old castle in Europe. Despite visiting Belgium many many times exploring, this was the first time I'd seen this place.
Last minute 48 hour trip taking in a few new spots and some old locations. 17 hour days and mixed weather added to the fun.
