A Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) takes off in search of dinner. These falcons have been clocked at an excess of 200 mph on their hunting runs, in which they spot their prey from way above and go into a near vertical dive to snatch them out of the air. One of the most efficient and awesome predators out there.

Whoa, now we know where the tires and wheels came from. I am dredging up old pix for a series and I am reliving a trek I intend to repeat. Boy, if both wheels needed new rubber, this flivver needs new wheels, tires, the works. Crank 'er up Clem! It was certainly stranded. It must have come to a sudden and bumpy stop. A peek at the leaf springs tells me that this old truck was built to carry loads and withstand rough tracks. Were you looking for a ride?
I theorize that this was along the original route to Jamestown, Balarat and Gresham. It shows on my 1906 Boulder topo map. I'll add a link to the map in comments. I guarantee that even this agricultural series is old. This was old when I was young and we were venturing by truck up the Red Hill Road that connected with the Heil Canyon Road. We made it nearly to the divide and puttered at pictures around the old ranch. We found some good ones. This posting of the reworked 4X5 negative is another tidbit from my current clean up. I have a load of new after I finish some old.
Red Hill was a ranch south of Lyons when we puttered about but now Boulder County has acquired the land for Open Space and created the "Painted Rocks Trail." It's too bad they didn't just follow the old road up. There was a sand stone structure a short way up but I don't know if it was used in conjunction with the old road. Horse drawn wagons would have been the transportation mode in the day. Some old farm and trucking equipment was left strewn about.
This 4X5 surely cornfused the EXIF data. I've cheated the EXIF in the past but I looked over the orange colored negative and found none. I know that this was Kodacolor 4X5" negative film and I processed it myself. I remember using and processing Kodacolor 64 ASA negative film. Grin. I moved as fast as I could with the sheet film camera, film holders and tripod but still had to pay for film and chemistry in the day. After all that, I had to scan the negative and invert it using a self-made mask. At least I got a heck of a bunch of pixels translated.
1/121 - Lift Off - 121 Pictures in 2021
As we were observing these Snow Geese quietly feeding in the fields on Fir Island, hundreds (thousands?) of Snow Geese suddenly lifted off en-masse and filled the air with their honking and flapping wings. They flew around the fields for about a minute or two and then settled down again. Previously, I had seen videos of a mass lift-off, but nothing compares to being there when this happens.
You know in films, sexy women always wear those tops that flop off one shoulder seductively. In the real world they do not do this, either they flop down altogether wopping out a rather surprised and never erect nip or the top simply keeps righting itself and climbs back up your shoulder. (trained at the same school as bra straps the poor jumper knows no better and was sure that it is supposed to cling onto the shoulder for dear life). These tops can only ever be worn at home, wear it out and you spend the entire time distracted and constantly adjusting, or frozen into position to maintain the look. "No no don't touch me Brad Pitt my top is 'just so' and if you snog me now it will all get messed up."
New bike just needs some mud on it.

The fiercest storms may blow us off course... they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.

Summer Saturday and a pair of 20's head for Skegness holiday makers beware the first coach.. On the 22nd August 1981 it was 20087 & 20070 that provided the power for the 09.22 Derby to Skegness train, it was recorded belting through Beeston. Those enthusiasts in the first coach would probably never see the sea at Skeggie, they would lurk within the station or the more adventurous might make it to the nearest chippie. The bucket 'n' spade brigade would stay well clear of the alien species that "Need the SOUND and the FUMES" in coach one.
20070 and 20087 were both products of Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn limited being D8070 and D8087. 20070 was built 30/06/1961, withdrawn 11/04/1991 and cut at M.C. Metals 07/12/1992 20087 was built 26/09/1961 it spent time with RFS as thier 29 during the Channel Tunnel building, back in England it is now preserved on the ELR.

The amount of gas needed for electricity generation was less than estimated. Penalised by both the take-or-pay agreement and soaring international oil prices in 1979, the government embarked on a radical plan that became known as Think Big. Two petrochemical plants were built in Taranaki to use Māui gas for industrial development.
The most ambitious of these was the Motunui synfuel plant – the first of its type in the world, which converted gas to methanol (methyl alcohol), then to synthetic petrol. While technically successful, it began losing money when world oil prices fell in the late 1980s. The Motunui plant then switched to making methanol for export, which is what the Waitara valley plant did.
As the Māui gas field began to run out in the early 2000s, these plants no longer had a cheap supply of gas. Motunui closed in 2004, and the Waitara valley plant ceased production in 2005.

Showing off our backcountry skis. Just a little bit more to walk through the frozen world to our destination.
I used a Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 lens on my Nikon N90s for this shot. I waited over an hour for the eagle to take off. Sometimes patience works. I used Fujichrome Sensia 200 for this shot.
The sky cooperated nicely as well.
I am back here at Pella Crossing on Marlatt Trails near the end of the long entrance trail and the start of pasture land. I have no idea why these horses have been denied access to all those lucious pasture grasses shone in my last Pella shot. These nags can't eat the recyclables dumped beside the fence. The railroad grade was hit by the flood and was rebuilt, never mind that the ties were long shot anyway.
The Marlatt trail turns left near here but I heard this horse "nagging" me from this spot and thought he looked intent on nipping my butt. Back OFF! It could be that garlic that I planted right there or... because Trump outlawed horse melanin, he only likes white horses and Sarah Sanders was stealing his oats to gorge herself. It takes a lot of oats to lie like that. This nag probably heard Harleys are going to be way more expensive and folks will start riding nags again. Bummers!
It looks like the latest weather blast has abated but more clouds stream in from the divide in this scene. The trekkers are now off the trail, not unlike the migrant kids. I don't think that Pruett denying global warming is going to stop these clouds from heading east and pounding someone even if he warns the Koch Brothers on his Bat Phone. They'll ship Pruett more money regardless if really nasty weather slams their Kansas. The trail's empty, my clothes are still damp and a breeze is cooling me down to about perfect. When summer sprinkles hit here, enjoy the heck out of them and get damp and cool. I already passed two of the ponds, gravel pits and am near to rounding the second pond toward the outhouse and river. Where is that pesky outhouse when you need it? Is that why the nag is pissed? Oh well, no one else is watching.
I am out west on Marlatt Trails (the Marlatt family had a farm down the road) and found a ditch, right of path, the Denio Taylor Mill Ditch. The Denio Taylor Ditch eventually wandered east, downhill from Longmont's Third Avenue toward the old Denio Mill on Pratt Street. It now disappears before arrival. The flour mill, current Old Mill Park site was operated by J.W. Denio and others. The old mill was actually serviced by one of the early railroads that actually extended another block west paralleling the feed water ditch.
Boulder County eventually reopened Pella Crossing Park at Hygiene after the flood a decade ago. Who thought that a flood plain with multiple gravel pits, a river bottom and a Mill and other ditches would ever flood in the age of global orangeman warming... We have met the enemy and he is a bold faced liar. Let's hope that the "bigger the lie" no longer holds sway as it did 70 decades ago in Austria and Germany. Apparently there are several prairie castle owners who prefer this flood plain. This all started when I delivered a couple of the tomato plants to Ronnie in Hygiene. He related that the park, on the other side of the railroad tracks, had reopened. It's been some time since I wandered the area.
Pella was an original St. Vrain River ford settlement but unlike Longmont, Pella has long disappeared, early floods perhaps. Almost all the water in St. Vrain River has similarly disappeared into lawns and gravel pits. At least the ground and ditch water is watering some habitat. Hygiene eventually sprung up north of old Pella. I visited the park east of North 75th Street south of Hygiene earlier. Some clouding finally showed up so I parked at Ronnie's which is closer to the west side Marlatt Trails and headed out on my trek under threatening skies. After a couple of treks in hundred degree heat, a sprinkle is enormously welcome. A sprinkle here is a state of mind. Off and around the railroad tracks to head west along Dragonfly Pond.
Nothing special about this picture except it shows how happy Benni is to be let off leash at our park. Up goes the tail as she prances away - in a minute she'll start running aimlessly, just for the joy of running. It makes me happy to see her and she won't go where she can't see me.
