Medium-sized shorebird with bright yellow legs. Plumage is essentially identical to Greater Yellowlegs: gray upperparts with white speckling, streaky neck, and white belly. Proportions are most important for identification. Lesser is smaller overall with shorter, narrower, straighter bill, shorter neck, more rounded head, and smaller chest. Forages actively on mudflats and in shallow pools and marshes, often in loose mixed flocks with Greater Yellowlegs. Somewhat more likely to be found in smaller, marshier habitats than Greater, but much overlap. Listen for soft, whistled “tew” calls, typically only one or two notes, unlike the stronger series of notes from Greater. (eBird)
It's not often that we see a Yellowlegs in breeding plumage in Ottawa. This one was probably a failed breeder making its way back to its wintering grounds.
Jack Pine Trail, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. July 2011.
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.

I run my desperate trembling hands
Along the floor were you once walked
Fighting tears that come from loss
I brave the rooms where we once talked
You took a part of me I never can reclaim
Your spirit's in my heart
But you know it's not the same
Straining to beat this blur of tears
Swollen eyes beg for my dead friend
Reminiscing with a photograph
Drives home (that) what was won't be again
I will to guarantee my reason will prevail
Pain breeds the need for make believe
To soothe a heart that's fail
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
As surely as day turns into night
I drop down to my knees and plead with the sky
Of course it does no good
But i'll give anything a try
Gazing, thinking, standing on a cliff
That guards the blue-green of the sea
I accept the blueprint of the world, that
All must pass away that's come to be
You meant so much to me
That's why there's all this pain
So much improved from our exchange
It will never be same
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
As surely as day turns into night
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
We all suffer loss...
As surely day changes into night
The wind blew down my perfect reflection shot expectation

Tripod too low, would have been great, but it still amused me! Fail!!! Not expecting any faves or views😀😀
Transients come and go as they please into this old senior trailer park I live in. They steal anything in our tiny spaces and porches-, spit in the Main Street as well as our tiny properties. The slum lords refuse to put cameras up or a gate up. Cops never come so we are on our own. This dirty higher than a kite guy made me want to follow to see where the source of the drugs is coming from in the park. Just because it’s old people doesn’t mean it’s not criminal old people selling from their trailer. Because they are. Because I was already in my car ready to run errands and he came in off the busy main street outside the park . I thought it was perfect timing to follow him, but I stayed way back because he had very. Bad energy, the kind that would get violent if he is triggered. I followed a few streets staying back and at the last street he turned left so I slowed then went we he turned . and he had completely disappeared like a ghost. I was so disappointed. I wanted to solve the mystery of who was letting these addicts in. It was a recon fail. Maybe I will get another chance and will be armed with a camera and zoom lens instead of my phone camera. Life ain’t boring not for me anyways . 😂 ( ps the picture taken with an older iPhone just after a storm ⛈️ the cloud odd shape straight across sky is real the pink sky compliments of light room) :)
,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 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.
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…
Rumors spread quickly on this evening of 1940 leading the NTWLAU. Unfortunately Northtown seemed to have other plans as a gevo was placed on the lead. When I heard about the trail fail I decided to stick it out and grab a shot of them pulling out of Minneapolis. Despite being a major disappointment I'm glad I got this photo on a great Minneapolis evening.
