So I saw five deer running over a frozen meadow today - and this is the best photo of all five of them. You can count them by the white 'spots' ('white rump patches' is the correct name) that you see disappearing towards the row of trees. You'd better view this large or zoom in :-)
First they had run over the icy areas on the meadow, causing loud sounds of cracking ice.
Migrating white pelicans are on the move through the Upper Mississippi River Valley. If there's anything more graceful to watch than a flock of flying white pelicans, I don't know what it is!
The cairns mark the trail along the five mile pass we crossed. Snowstorms can pop up without notice and even just an inch or two and you can completely lose the trail. The cairns help to guide you.
Terrific Tuesday to you.
It was getting late by the time the five Iroquoise tribe warriors headed out across the plain on foot, and they pulled their buffalo hide furs tight over their shoulders against the bitter wind to their front. Their heads were down, and they were, for the main part, quiet as they wished they were back in the warmth of their teepees, cuddled up against the bare warm skin of their squaws. Nope, they were agreed, it hadn't been worth it, now they had such a harsh journey home. The dance routines had been great, and they had hollered and yelled with the crowd as they raved about on top of the seating. But nothing bettered their own rave at home, round the camp fire, sparks and cinders jumping into the night air as they danced below the full moon. No, perhaps they were too old now they surmised, to be drawn to the big lights of the white men's den. They definitely wouldn't bother to go to another Taylor Swift gig.
Well, what do you see in the dark and light sands of Fascadale Bay
Tucked away in a 'leanto' attached to an old garage, that is leaning too, is this '55 Chevy. Spotted while I was driving down a lane in View Royal, a town near Victoria BC Canada.
Still attached to the tree. I fought wind and sun glare to get this shot, trying to keep the copy paper background from flapping while the cherries were doing their own quintet choreography.
There are several chokecherry trees around the Tunxis campus entrance and this time of year, they're choked with cherries, as seen in my photo Cherry Red.
It's a hard job but someone has got to do it ofcorse with the latest state of the art space age automation hover tractor technology from Khandobotics PVT.
“Sensō-ji ([sẽ̞ꜜɰ̃so̞ːʑi], 浅草寺, officially Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺), also known as Asakusa Kannon (浅草観音)), is an ancient Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest-established temple, and one of its most significant. It is dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. Structures in the temple complex include the main hall, a five-story pagoda and large gates. It is the most widely visited religious site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually.
The temple was destroyed during a 10 March 1945 firebombing air raid on Tokyo during World War II. The main hall was rebuilt in the 1950s. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, the temple became independent after the war. Leading to it is Nakamise-dōri street, containing many shops with traditional goods. Adjacent to the east of Sensō-ji is the Asakusa Shrine of the Shinto religion.”
Back in September
In the Brookside pub,
Windermere.
Watching Burnley beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland road.
There were two football matches on the TV’s (I asked if they’d put the Burnley game on)
We’d previously phoned two other pubs to ask if they were showing the Burnley game, they weren’t. One of them mentioned that the Brookside might be! Bingo… only a five minute walk from our accommodation too!
The Burnley game and the Manchester United game were being shown.
My brother in law and nephew watched the Man Utd game, my father in law kept an eye on both games, I watched the Burnley game. We were all sat at the same table!
My nephew is 29 yo. Two pubs in Windermere wouldn’t serve him because they thought he was underage!!

A great windy day to sail. Left to right: the 133 ft Adventuress schooner (#15) was launched in 1913 in Boothbay Maine, her new hollow topmasts give her better sailing properties; the 32 ft boat with tanbark sails is ANJA designed to emulate the legendary Bristol Pilot Cutters of Britain, Alcyone is an 81 ft. gaff-rigged topmast schooner, she is easy to spot with that square-rigged yard on the foremast; the ketch and sloop on the right are ones I do not know but their sails are full this day.
Port Townsend's 2023 Wooden Boat Festival woodenboat.org/plan-your-visit
Barn Owl chicks all ringed and ready to go back in their box. Two broods of five ringed this afternoon. Vole populations in Scotland are high this year and so we have large broods. The dry and warm spring has helped early breeding to we are in a bit of a rush to get all the chicks ringed.
A QUIET MOMENT.!! My brother Bob and his wife owned this beautiful Andalusian stallion, it was a good age, but was having so many problems with its legs and feet, that eventually the Vet said it would be kinder to say goodbye, upsetting even now.

THANK YOU for your visit and friendship, am looking back on some of my images before turning to birds.
Keep safe and well, God bless ................Tomx
What's up everyone! Hope all you guys out there are doing well. I haven't done much shooting this year as I have been busy on doing a major update/overhaul to my new website. I am about 85% complete, and still slowly chipping away at it. But soon.....very soon this major project will be done!
Today i am sharing an image from the fall of 2021. The bayou....my home away from home. A landscape that I've connected with since my first visit some 7 years ago now. I have always been fascinated with this mysterious landscape. This particular stand of cypress trees I visit yearly as it looks different on every visit. Hidden in plain sight, these cypress trees are perfectly spaced, with beautiful reflections. On those cold mornings, the mist just glides across the water creating an ethereal atmosphere.
This was day five of our recent cold snap with finally enough snow to bring out the snowshoes. Have I mentioned that I like winter?
Found in only a few areas in a few southwestern states, found mainly in Mexico (making it the southern most of the sparrows)
A thrill of a lifer for me! I never thought I would actually see this sparrow but we were extremely fortunate that the location for this bird was easily accessed.

Some kind of loading bay (presumably) in the Five Sisters complex in Aarhus.
For a photo story from Jutland (and Copenhagen):
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British naval fighter-bomber developed in the late 1940s, known for its exceptional speed and handling as one of the fastest piston-engine aircraft ever built. It featured a massive Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder radial engine, producing around 2,500 horsepower, requiring a five-blade Rotol propeller to efficiently convert power into thrust without excessive diameter or supersonic tip speeds. This propeller design allowed the Sea Fury to achieve excellent acceleration, climb performance, and short takeoff distances, which were crucial for carrier operations. The combination of its powerful engine, advanced aerodynamics, and five-blade propeller made the Sea Fury a formidable aircraft, famously used during the Korean War, where it even managed to shoot down a MiG-15 jet.
