Making Hay in the Wimmera, where a team of tractors and balers move in, one team mows, then leaves it to cure, this can take days or weeks, another comes and rakes it ready to bale, then another comes through the night and bales it before the warmth of the Sun makes it too crisp to bale. Soon after the loaders stack into large groups and then within hours it is loaded and off to market. What I have here was all in one day, and the next day the paddock was bare.

U.S.S. Turner BDR-834 (Radar Picket Battle Destroyer, a very rare ship indeed!) is seen while underway at sea, prior to its 1960 FRAM II refit, ca late 1950's. This concocted photo was created because back in the day you always wanted to impress your friends with a bigger than life photo of your ship, "because my dog is bigger than your dog." When this baby cleared it throat, everybody listened! Then on top of that, the actual USS Turner was a true Radar Picket Destroyer (DDR-834), originally of the Gearing Class when constructed. The idea for the rare designation of "Radar Picket Battle Destroyer," was that it was always a constant battle to keep everything in working order aboard the ship, which of course we did do, but it was a constant battle to do so. This must have been a true situation, because after my 4-1/2 year enlistment ended in January 1967, the ship was decommissioned just two years later in 1969, making it one of the first Gearing class destroyers to be in line to be scrapped.
The name of the photographer that captured the original image on film is unknown, but the phony modifications performed to the image were performed by me. The funny thing about a photo such as this is that the overall public when viewing it, really don't know what they are looking at when it comes to US Navy vessels! This photo has been shown to various friends and they did not pick up on it or think that it was phony. The ship now has the long sleek hull appearance of a destroyer, but what about those large and long naval guns! LOL The photo that was used to create this image was that of the USS Iowa BB-61. Do hope that some out there enjoy viewing this photo and that it does not upset some others!

The driver of an unidentified 600mm gauge Diema 4-wheel diesel is hand-sanding (as well as supposedly 'driving'!) whilst struggling along the main running line and approaching the Gnarrenburg-Bremervörde road near Langenhausen, heading a long rake of loaded peat wagons from Augustendorf Moor and destined for Gnarrenburg Peat Works on 26th October 2017.

Tree felling at Shap Wells has just about opened up the classic view of the railway, but before further felling perhaps and hopefully takes place, a transitional composition is currently available. 45690 'Leander' tackles the 1 in 75 grade in great style heading the 1Z45 07:14 Manchester Victoria to Carlisle 'Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express' on Saturday 21st January 2017.

Young cygnet admiring its reflection in one of the streams that run through Arundel in West Sussex, England.
And so it begins, and begins quite beautifully, as a deck of altocumulus at 14,000 feet streams in from the northwest, making for a colorful sunset this evening. This is the leading edge of what is very likely to be a nasty winter storm for the midwest. Until all that icy fun on Sunday, we are blessed with a little color this evening. If I can get out of the driveway Sunday, you bet I'll be out playing in it.

We have the next storm passing through overnight tonight; the tail end of the one that brought the snowstorm to the USA last weekend! So, I have found a photo of the result of a previous storm showing the river water passing through Exeter. I wonder what we will get tonight?
The path behind the railings across the river is under water. The turbulence is created as the river spills down the Blackaller Weir beside the Mill on the Exe.
This chickadee was maneuvering around in this pine tree fairly quickly, and I was trying to get a few shots in. Managed to have it relatively in focus as it launched between two of the locations!

The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is the largest member of the pelican family and perhaps the world's largest freshwater bird, although rivaled in weight and length by the largest swans. They are elegant soaring birds, with wingspans rivaling those of the great albatrosses, and their flocks fly in graceful synchrony. Photo taken at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
I spent yesterday making cookies. I wish I could say the afternoon went as well as the morning but I managed to burn out the motor of my mixer, accidentally order a mixer that I won't be able to lift, and get totally frustrated. LOL this morning I'm headed to the chiropractor's and then I'm going to rest up for the next five busy days. Merry Christmas everyone!
