I needed to stand on top of my truck's tonneau with my tripod in order to get a clear shot of the Kite's nest. Lucky for me, the tonneau holds 500 lbs.
Caution...when someone tells you to get a grip...apparently around their neck is not what they meant:)))
”Soñaba que vivía en el ático de un rascacielos
estaba tan contento entre nubes sin casi ver el suelo
desde allí yo le hablaba a la luna al sol y a las estrellas
y veía los pájaros pasando en infinitas vueltas
Y digo: eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Porque yo quiero solo estar aquí en mi nube.
Sonando está el teléfono y contesto para oir quién me llama
una voz pregunta si aquí arriba nunca nadie va a la cama
y que es esa música infernal que por mi casa suena
yo contesto que aquí en las nubes pasa que a veces truena
Y digo: eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Porque yo quiero solo estar aquí en mi nube.
Y digo: eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Eh! eh! tú, tú te puedes marchar
Porque yo quiero solo estar aquí en mi nube”
“Aquí en mi nube” Versión de “Get Off Of My Cloud” del grupo español Lone Star
Well we were further up the Chilliwack Valley and decided to take a right on some random 4x4 road in chase of a distant peak. Neither of us knew what we were in for. The road got icy and the temperature fell well below 0. We chased until the road was too overgrown to continue. This was the view of Mt Redford we were greeted with. Keep exploring. Kris...

Neustädter Markthalle, Dresden
Bei meinem ersten Besuch in der Markthalle an einem Sonntag waren nur die oberen Galerien für den Trödelmarkt geöffnet, so dass man nach oben entweder die alten Treppen oder einen neu eingebauten Aufzug benutzen musste.
On my first visit to the market hall on a Sunday, only the upper galleries were open for the flea market, so you had to use either the old stairs or a newly installed elevator to go up.

Now sunrise is at a more acceptable time, it's easier to get out early and catch some nice autumn light.
Thanks for looking folks.

'I've come to believe that it’s worth getting to know your fearful mind... it’s never going to leave you. You can’t evict it. It’s more or less hardwired into your psyche and will accompany you onto every stage you set foot on, into every job interview you go to, and every new relationship you enter into. It’s there, and it’s not going to shut up.'

Get Up
Song by Shinedown
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
I know you're clinging to the light of day
To tell you everything's a-okay
And medication don't do much
Yeah, it just numbs the brain
Guess you might say I'm a little intense
I'm on the bright side of being hell-bent
So, take it from me, you're not the only one
Who can't see straight (can't see straight)
If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
And I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Everybody wants to sing their song
So, Marvin Gaye, "What's Going On?"
Ain't nothing normal when it comes to you and me
I'd rather twist myself in knots than watch you give up on your dreams
If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
So I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Yeah, I don't know why I never talk about it
I guess that's probably part of the problem
Yeah, sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right
Just gotta keep moving
Yeah, I'm just gonna keep moving
Today, tomorrow, gonna get
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
I have been getting up close and personal with some raptors this week. This Little Eagle, an Australian Native, is a lifer for me and was a wonderful birthday present for me on Monday. Seen in the Truganina Park/Cheetham Salt Works area.
This time it was an Adonis’ Ladybird (Hippodamia variegata) that met a 7-spot (Coccinella septempunctata) on a narrow tree branch.
As well as the much smaller size the body shape and head pattern are useful features to separate the species.
Adonis’ is a rarely reported species in Northumberland the ones I found last year were some of the first records for the county. I’ve found them in more than one place both at the coast and around Newcastle so likely to be more widespread than previously realised
After getting recrewed at the previous siding, Q583 rolls north through the countryside at Howie Siding in Comer, GA on CSX's Abbeville Subdivision.

Had a wonderful day at Bushy Park today with new friends from the BWC.
Very very cold but it gave me a chance to test the new 200 to 500 lens hand held swapped back after a few hours as you don't really need such a long lens in bushy as everything is so used to human company.
Will be going back again but hopefully next time it will be warmer.
This was taken on one of the main pedestrian streets in Leeds, England. Not sure if this street is always decorated with Union Jacks or this is flying in anticipation of the Coronation.
Traveling for our postponed and overdue vacation last week. Plenty of captures to share incoming, including this set of frisky trucks outside our hotel stop along the way.
One of the triplets. I did get to see a glimpse of all 3 at the same time but they are just like kids and weren't all looking at the same time for the picture. Lots of wing stretching happening, wouldn't be surprised if they get out soon and test them out.
It's been a while since I've been to the Lake District, I keep managing to find a photo from my last hike there.. but photo's are running short... I need another visit :-)
It must have been a chilly June morning (about 6 AM) when this image was taken as the beautiful female mountain bluebird has puffed up some of her feathers.
These special birds will be back in about 7 or 8 weeks. Given the cold and snow in Alberta at the moment, it seems like a pipedream. However, there is lots of time for the sun to warm things up as the days get longer.
It's a foggy morning as Norfolk Southern train 37Q darts past train 16T. The two freights are meeting at Cleversburg Junction, the site of an old spur to a nearby iron ore mining operation that's been gone for more than a century. The rumble from NS 9165 grows louder as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to roll. The old Conrail tri-lights are blinking an Approach Limited, letting him know he can proceed east on the Lurgan Branch.
