Gray Line Montreal is part of Coach Canada but operates independently.
Gray Line 639 is ex-London Transport RML 2639 which was built in June 1967 and sold to Stagecoach East in London in September 1994. It was exported in March 2006 and subsequently modified by relocating the open platform and staircase.
Gray Line 639 (NML 639E) at Square-Dorchester in Montreal on Saturday, June 15th, 2013.
Gray wolves are slender, powerfully built animals with large, deeply descending ribcages and sloping backs. Their abdomens are pulled in, and their necks heavily muscled. Their limbs are long and robust, with comparatively small paws. The front paws have five toes each, while the back paws have four. The forelimbs are seemingly pressed into the chest, with the elbows pointed inward, and the feet outward. Females tend to have narrower muzzles and foreheads, thinner necks, slightly shorter legs and less massive shoulders than males. Wolves are very strong for their size, possessing sufficient strength to turn over a frozen horse or moose carcass.
Gray Jays have to be the boldest bird up here. They will go into your tent to look for food, land on your shoulder while you eat and my favorite; work in pairs to steal dog food from my dogs while they are trying to eat. One will draw off the dog while the other steals food. The dogs have yet to catch on.

Gray Cat was his actual name. Because of his amazingly uniform gray coloring, it seemed the only appropriate name for him.

FYI, for those keeping track, I'm starting to recover nicely from my cancer treatments. Able to eat and sleep. Very glad to be at this point!
India Tiger safari trip.
Our second park, Pench.
An impeccable place to walk down the memory lanes of your childhood days of the famous story ‘The Jungle Book’.
In the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park is located in the districts of Seoni and Chhindwara. Named after the pristine River Pence which flows through the park, Pench National Park is one of the most popular wildlife reserves in India. The park also has its mention in the famous story of 1894, ‘The Jungle Book’, penned down by the renowned English Author Rudyard Kipling. The story was worldwide applauded, and hence, the national park became one of the popular national parks in the world in the 1970s and also a prominent tourist attraction in India. Since then, every year oodles of wildlife buffs flock to this place just to spot the famous characters of the book, Akela (The Indian Wolf), Raksha (the female Wolf), Baloo (Sloth Bear), and the vicious Shere Khan (Royal Bengal Tiger).
Sprawls over a massive area of 758 sq km, including the core area, Pench National Park has a rich wildlife which proffers visitors an opportunity to indulge into one of the finest wildlife experiences in India. Since its inception in 1965 as a wildlife sanctuary, the park has serving as the cosy nest of numerous wild creatures including the Royal Bengal tiger, jackal, peafowl, wild dog, wild boar, sloth bear, Indian leopard, fox, striped hyena, monkey, gaur, barking deer, four-horned antelope, Indian wolf, and more such enthralling species. However, later in the year 1975 and 1992, the sanctuary got the recognition of national park and tiger reserve, respectively.
Gray langur (Semnopithecus), also called Hanuman langur is a genus of Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally only one species Semnopithecus entellus was recognized, but since about 2001 additional species have been recognized. The taxonomy has been in flux, but currently eight species are recognized.
As well as taking some photos of San Francisco on my trip down to California, I also wanted to get some shots of the water. The protection that Vancouver Island offers us in Vancouver, while extremely beneficial from the point of view of things like tsunamis, does mean that it's very unusual to get large waves, so I wanted to take advantage of the unsheltered coastline.
After doing some research, Gray Whale Cove State Beach, near Half Moon Bay, looked like a good candidate. The weather where I was based, on the bay side, was completely cloudless -- the kind of weather that makes you want to move there, but that rarely results in good sunsets, but as I was only in town for a few days, I wasn't going to be too picky. As I approached the coast, however, it appeared that I might have the opposite problem -- too much cloud!
As I arrived at the State Beach, it was almost completely overcast from overhead to the horizon. Despite this, I started scouting locations. Two things were immediately clear -- that there was only one really good photo location for the kind of shot I wanted, and that there were some very serious waves!
It was almost high tide, and the location I wanted to shoot in was effectively an alcove, with rock walls to my left and directly behind, the ocean ahead, and a large rock outcrop on the right side, with a passage behind it to the main beach. It was also being pummelled by the incoming waves. It appeared that my preparation, consisting of putting on my waterproof hiking boots, would probably not be sufficient.
With this in mind I took off my backpack, putting it well out of reach of the high tide, and got my super-wide angle lens out. Merely walking into the alcove got me soaked up to the knees! I took a few shots but soon decided that shooting without a tripod wasn't going to get me the results I wanted, so I headed back out to grab the tripod and my filters, and to remove important electronic items such as my phone and car keys from my pockets, just in case.
It didn't take long to be aware that this was a sensible precaution. While the average wave coming into the alcove would reach my knees, every 10th wave or so would be much larger. I frequently found myself underwater to above my waist, and even as high as my chest was pretty damp from the big sprays of water coming over the rock outcrop visible at the far left. At these times I simply had to hold the tripod above my head to keep the camera as dry as possible.
As sunset approached, it looked like it would be a disappointment. I had some good shots, so I wasn't too upset, but I had hoped for a bit of colour into what would otherwise likely be black and white photos. However, with just a few minutes to go, a break in the clouds appeared at the horizon. As the minutes ticked down to sunset, suddenly the horizon lit up with golden warm light.
I quickly snapped as many shots as I could, generally only being able to shoot for about 30 seconds before too much spray built up on my graduated filter, and required a frustrating cleaning with a cloth that was more and more resembling something used to wash dishes. The light lasted for only about 5 minutes, but it was magical while it did.
After the sun had set, I headed out of the alcove and was pleased to see that my camera bag was still there (having been out of sight of me for over an hour). I squelched damply back to the car and headed back to my hotel. It took two days in the warm sun for my shoes to dry out!

William White Rental (Andrews House) 822 Madison Street, Oregon City, Oregon
This two story Queen Anne-style house has a gable roof covered in composition shingles. It sits on a board-formed concrete foundation with basement. The exterior is clad in channel drop siding and has cornerboards. The upper story gable ends have imbrication. There is a wraparound porch at the front of the house. The windows are primarily 1/1 double-hung with simple wood moldings. Some have stained glass. A sleeping porch on the upper story has been enclosed and windows have been added, probably c.1920. At some point after the 1982 survey, a garage/mother-in-law unit was added at the rear of the house and is connected by a small enclosed breezeway. This unit has vinyl windows and LP siding.
Decided to play with my camera's speed dependent setting to get this misty water look...mainly as a challenge since I did not have a tripod with me.
Lower door to the coach house. When Northampton State Hospital had a working farm, this building was used to house farm machinery and animals.

For those of you who have wondered where my photos from this winter are, here's part of the reason I haven't bothered much.
This was a photo taken just this afternoon (although it could have been any random day since November) looking towards the southeast.... not that the southwest was any better... but this is the direction of the mountains and the bay, as seen from my house ... in other words, the scenic view.
Not every day has been this foggy, dreary and plaintive ... but most of them have.
Stockton, Ca
I guess Pepsi won here. Never liked this shot but as long as I have it I decided to post it. Have not been getting out lately but I need to.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) hits the snow searching for prey in the mixed woods north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There was a lot of snow falling that day making for some interesting photography and lots of activity by a number of owls.

Same Frog, Different Log as www.flickr.com/photos/bprobin/8393561218/in/photostream
I've been trying out different ways of making a background that's neither too boring nor too distracting and also somewhat complimentary to the froggy. This is the same background material as the previous photo, but not as wrinkly means less tonal variation in it.
Lighting Info:
-Sunpak 433d camera right and a little front, in homemade strip box.
-Sunpak 433d camera left fired through 60cm round diffusion panel
-Bare sb-28 at background, a yellow curtain pressed into service.
