January 24th, 2025 marks the 5 year anniversary of Kulaan and I. How has he survived? It’s simple, really.
Brainwashing.
Yep. Take it out every evening for a nice scrubbing before placing it back in his skull. It does wonders and can be therapeutic.
I’m not the sappy type (usually, but I have my moments) but he knows the things I don’t say and that’s what counts. Here’s to another year!
August, 2013:
NS #8114 rolls through CP 507 in Hammond, Indiana with crude oil empties for BNSF. The position lights at 506 and 507 came down in 2015.
In the upper-right corner is Phil Smidt's restaurant which, at the time of its closure in 2007, was a 97-year old Hammond establishment. It was demolished in 2015.
Black Five 45407 storms up the Mallerstang Valley, past Angerholme, with the southbound Cumbrian Mountain Express of 24th January 2015.
This ship had entered the heavy seas of Bass Strait after leaving the relative safety of Port Phillip.
The Five Sisters of Kintail, shot from the village of Ratagan on the shores of Loch Duich shortly before sunrise on the last morning of my recent trip to the Highlands.
F7 4266, GP9 1741, and F7 4268 lead the annual 470 Railroad Club Excursion down the Mountain Division at the Willey Brook Trestle in Hart's Location, NH on the Conway Scenic Railroad. This was the official debut of 1741, which was repainted into B&M McGinnis blue and restored to service by the 470 Club volunteers. This was also my fifth time making the trek up to this shot at Willey Brook. I can confirm it does not get any easier.
The bridge itself is quite old and was originally built in the 17 hundreds by Capability Brown. One side of it has a small weir
Five Arches bridge (built in 1781 as part of their designs by Capability Brown)
This is near Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland on the north east coast of the UK. These big concrete blocks are tank barriers left over from the second world war. When I visited they had been painted like large dice, although clearly it was a while ago as the paint was very weathered and beginning to disappear. I loved the rich reds and the unexpected visual of huge concrete dice strewn on a beautiful sandy beach as if some giant board game was in progress. Perhaps a double wins the castle...

Beautiful morning, cold and misty... out of the fog five figures loom large, slightly earie and in silhouette... OK maybe not but still, the image looks good, the trees fit the rule of odds and the crop/frame works well for me.
Western Screech Owl family.
For some time I have been contemplating whether it is time to upgrade my trusty old Nikon D500. The eye tracking mode in the current high end cameras does very well as far as I have seen.
Perhaps I could have tried 3-D focus tracking in my camera for this occasion which never gave me any good results before. Anyway, as you can see, my focus was on a different plane as it was locked on the adult female that was seating at the front of the nest hole.
Suddenly there was this embarrassing sound (not elaborating what the sound was, but that I left home early and in a hurry) that did the trick. Both the young popped out in a split second, giving me another split second to take this image. I was on my phone-remote and had no time to recompose. I took the image as it is.
This year I have been fortunate enough to photograph three species of owl families.
Her name is Dime. Since she was standing with a tree in the background I opened up the aperture to get a nice bokeh background.
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!
For my sister ,who passed away 5 years ago today : 3rd June ..

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.
Candies like this were always on our Christmas Eve Celebration.

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.

Hello amazing people!
Another day, another double challenge. Today is the international celebration of orange and five at the same time! Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily Group and the theme at Crazy Tuesday Group is: five. So happy day of orange and five to you all!!
And what is a better way than this theme to introduce to you my new props: tiny playing cards! They are so tiny and cool!!! But honestly, I don’t know why in the world I did buy these playing cards… Even if we got married in Las Vegas (and that is true!! It was a very spontaneous ceremony with 2 people only)); playing cards or gambling was never my thing… I played once and it was a disaster…
But Yellow Lady here is a gambling queen!!!
She is particularly good at Blackjack (that is like the only name of cards game I know beside Poker). She loves that game because her late (and fifth) husband’s name was Jack. When he died, shot after cheating at a poker game, he left her a pretty big amount of money…So that is when Yellow Lady developed a serious gambling problem…without Jack she had nothing to lose besides money…And after few disastrous games, Yellow Lady lost all her possessions and was left only with her black purse and a tiny deck of cards….
She hopes that she will be able to win her money back! In fact, she is always sure that the next game will be in her favor !! and the next one, and next after that…Her lucky number is 5. Jack was her 5th husband, remember…
She always carries her cards and her dream of becoming rich once again in her black purse. Let’s hope that 5 will be her lucky number and orange her lucky color of the day!!
Have a beautiful orange and five day!!! Happy Crazy Tuesday and Color My World Daily to all participants!!Thank you so much for your support!!! I truly appreciate your positive energy!! I wish you a very happy and awesome day!!!
The African buffalo is a large sub-Saharan African bovine. There are five subspecies that are recognized as being valid. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the nominotypical subspecies, and the largest one, found in Southern Africa and East Africa. S. c. nanus (the forest buffalo) is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of Central Africa and West Africa, while S. c. brachyceros is in West Africa and S. c. aequinoctialis is in the savannas of East Africa. The adult African buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature: they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head, referred to as a "boss".
The African buffalo is more closely related to other buffalo species than it is to other bovids such as American bison or domestic cattle, with its closest living relative being the Asian water buffalo. Its unpredictable temperament may be part of the reason that the African buffalo has never been domesticated, which would also explain why the African buffalo has no domesticated descendants, unlike the wild yak which is an ancestor of the domestic yak. Natural predators of adult African buffaloes include lions, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas, and Nile crocodiles. As one of the Big Five game animals, the Cape buffalo is a sought-after trophy in hunting.
