Lead-in Lines

The Heron in the lead made the mistake of landing in a wide open area without knowing it was already the territory of the Heron in the rear, who arrived minutes later. The chase was back and forth for about 30 seconds before the first bird gave up and left. View large.

Thanks for looking !
Been on crunch mode in my RL work these past few days and i've been thinking how despite the mild complaints and all-nighters, I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. All the times i've struggled to find courage to follow this dream, and yet here I am, following the light that I knew would be there at the end of the tunnel. Still a long way to go, but I'll just keep following this light~

The old wall on Lingmoor Fell provides a great Lead-in line for the drama of the snow-capped Langdale Pikes.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

Then we boarded the train
that will lead us through the year 2017
No one knows what lies around the next bend
But whatever the starting point is, grab the days as well as possible.
See the possibilities rather than the limitations,
make the impossible possible.
Say that you love ....
Caring for others
Take a coffee break with a friend
Although you may not really have time
Say something positive to yourself every day,
and meet others with a smile and a positive word.
Take care of yourself
and others as well as you can;)
May our journey through the year 2017 be a nice trip for us all :)
As you can see, my yard could use a good weeding. That's coming soon. Weeding, mulching and the works. With such a mild winter the weeds are growing faster than I can manage them. This dove is taking advantage of the cedar roots that lead to the little magical fairy garden mentioned in an earlier post. Those roots are used by so many creatures, they were a great habitat enhancement.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Although nearly fully grown and independent, before crossing the path, this male kitten wanted his mother to take the lead.

Lead by Pan Am painted C40-8 no. 7542, an original CSX unit that has come full circle, M427 soaks up the low sun of an October afternoon as it heads west down the former B&M Lowell Branch in Tewksbury, MA, passing the Demoulas Runaround.
Mittimatalik, known in English as Pond Inlet, is located on the northerly tip of Baffin Island in the Lancaster Sound region on the east side of Eclipse Sound.
The region has one of Canada's most inhospitable climates—with long, dark winters and temperatures averaging −30.8 °C (−23.4 °F) (December to February, meteorological reckoning). By 2021, Pond Inlet with a population of 1,555, along with Clyde River with 1,181 and Qikiqtarjuaq with 593, comprised the population of the Arctic Cordillera—about 3,300 people. Most of the people who live in the region survive by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It is at this location, it is believed, was the last sighting of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in 1845, of the ill fated Franklin expedition, by a party of Inuit whalers. The ships were observed transiting Eclipse Sound, shown above, into Navy Board Inlet on their search for the Northwest Passage.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee water skiing is fun........
The young Mute swan has mastered the art of a good touchdown.
Mute Swan
Cygnus olor
The Mute Swan is a very large white waterbird. It has an S-shaped neck and an orange bill with a black base and a black bump. It flies with its neck outstretched, making regular, slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move long distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England.
an old foggy night in BC 😄 wish we had more fog in Alberta!..Oh well, we have other things.
