While it was crowded down at Lake Louise, the trail to the Beehive wasn’t. The Big Beehive mountain stood tall behind Mirror Lake. I appreciated how the lake got its name. The persistent overcast sky lingered the whole time while hiking. It lightly sprinkled a few times. The sun occasionally played peekaboo as though it wanted to remind the hikers that it was there. Just behind the blanket of the pale clouds. It was time to continue my hike to Lake Agnes and then to the top of the Big Beehive.
All the leaves are long gone, but the paper thin seed pods of the Golden Raintree or Chinese Lantern remain in late Fall.

Either a juvenile or female, this is one of three Ruby Throats that visit our Butterfly Bush and nectar feeders. This one is aggressive, and chases off the other two...though they find ways to sneak back as well.
The bush is now almost devoid of blossoms, and the overnight temps will be dropping down close to freezing soon. Sadly, these TINY little wonders will soon be flying South. We will miss their antics.
Heading towards morning glory this lovely scene presented an opportunity to capture the colours and beauty that can be found here,
Any id help appreciatied. He has been watching the feeder area since the storms came in, hoping for a better shot.

berries clusters(?) yet remaining on a stark shrub in january.
While scouting out my garden for this weeks Macro Mondays theme I was surprised at the persistence of the daisies and dandelions.
Persistent poor weather/light and uncooperative wildlife are combining to make an unhappy photographer. So another dip into images from Yellowstone proved good for the morale !!
This Church of God purchased this former synagogue several years ago and have made several but failing attempts to hide this building's former identity. Their first effort was to put bright bougainvillea in the valleys of the menorah. This is their second attempt at defacing the wall.

Lakhta. This small village on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 15 km north-west of the city, is the birthplace of human settlements on the banks of the Neva. It was in the territory of Lakhta that the remains of a man’s camp of three thousand years ago were found.
In official documents, the settlement named Lakhta has been dating since 1500. The name is derived from the Finnish-language word lahti - "bay". It is one of the few settlements that has not changed its name throughout its 500-year history. It is also known as Lahes, Lahes-by, Lahes and was originally inhabited by Izhora. In the last decades of the 15th century, Lakhta was a village (which indicates a significant number of its population) and was the center of the same name of the Grand-Ducal volost, which was part of the Spassko-Gorodensky pogost of Orekhovsky district of Vodskaya Pyatina. In the village there were 10 yards with 20 people (married men). In Lakhta, on average, there were 2 families each, and the total population of the village probably reached 75 people.
From the marks on the fields of the Swedish scribal book of the Spassky Pogost of 1640, it follows that the lands along the lower reaches of the Neva River and part of the coast of the Gulf of Finland, including Lakhta Karelia, Perekulyu (from the Finnish "back village", probably because of its position relative to Lakhta) and Konduya Lakhtinsky, was granted royal charter on January 15, 1638, to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, General Rickshulz Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, of Dutch origin. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nuena (Nyenskansu). With the arrival of the Swedes in the Neva region, Lakhta was settled by the Finns, who until the middle of the 20th century constituted the absolute majority of the villagers.
On December 22, 1766, Catherine 2 granted the Lakhta manor, which at that time belonged to the Office of the Chancellery from the buildings of palaces and gardens, "in which and in her villages with yard people 208 souls" to her favorite, Count Orlov. Not later than 1768 Count J.A. Bruce took possession of the estate. In 1788, the Lakhta manor with its wooden services on dry land (high place) and the villages of Lakhta, Dubki, Lisiy Nos and Konnaya, also on dry land, were listed there, in those villages of male peasants 238 souls. On May 1, 1813, Lakhta was taken over by the landlords of the Yakovlevs. On October 5, 1844, Count A. I. Stenbok-Fermor took possession of the Lakhta estate, in which there were then 255 male souls. This genus was the owner of the estate until 1912, when his last representative got into debt and the nobility was established over the estate. On October 4, 1913, the count, in order to pay off his debts, was forced to go into incorporation, and the Lakhta estate became the property of the Lakht Joint-Stock Company of Stenbock-Fermor and Co.
After the revolution, Lakhta was left to itself for some time; on May 19, 1919, in the former estate of the Stenbock-Fermor estate, the Lakhta sightseeing station was opened, which lasted until 1932. In the early 1920s, sand mining began on the Lakhta beaches, and the abandoned and dilapidated peat-bedding plant of the Lakhta estate in 1922 took the Oblzmotdel department under its jurisdiction and launched it after major repairs. In 1963, the village of Lakhta was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
These are the only possessions of my father that I own. He died in 1974. An 18k gold Schaffhausen, purchased by my grandfather in the 1940's, a prayer book, and in the background, a twin lens medium format Yashica camera, circa 1960.

Persistent fog is starting to lose its battle with rising pleasant temperatures as CSX westbound empty ethanol train K677 (Baltimore - Chicago/CN) digs into the hill at Philson as it works its way up Sand Patch in its effort to conquer the Alleghenies. Despite shooting directly into the sun here, I will make do with any train I can given traffic levels can be somewhat sporadic on Sand Patch. With intel that said preferred light eastbounds were few and far between, I did what I could with K677.
Persistent heavy snowfall and about 40cm of fresh snow in the village also make the employees of the municipality of Gosau sweat quite a lot. At the moment, all employees, as well as our mayor, are on permanent duty to cope with the levels of fresh snow. It is good that we can use state-of-the-art technology from HMC and can eliminate the snow masses with small clearing vehicles as well as with heavy clearing vehicles such as the Unimog winter service with four-wheel drive.

The Polar Vortex is a whirling and persistent large area of low pressure, found typically over both north and south poles. The northern Polar Vortex is pushing southward over western Wisconsin/eastern Minnesota today, Monday, January 6, 2014 and is bringing frigid temperatures to half of the continental United States. It is expected to move northward back over Canada toward the end of the week.
This image was captured by NOAA's GOES-East satellite on January 6, 2014 at 1601 UTC/11:01 a.m. EST. A frontal system that brought rain to the coast is draped from north to south along the U.S. East Coast. Behind the front lies the clearer skies bitter cold air associated with the Polar Vortex.
The GOES image also revealed snow on the ground in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Missouri, stretching into the Great Plains. Cloudiness over Texas is associated with a low pressure system centered over western Oklahoma that is part of the cold front connected to the movement of the Polar Vortex. The GOES image was created at NASA's GOES Project, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Both the northern and southern polar vortices are located in the middle and upper troposphere (lowest level of the atmosphere) and the stratosphere (next level up in the atmosphere). The polar vortex is a winter phenomenon. It develops and strengthens in its respective hemisphere's winter as the sun sets over the polar region and temperatures cool. They weaken in the summer. In the northern hemisphere, they circulate in a counter-clockwise direction, so the vortex sitting over western Wisconsin is sweeping in cold Arctic air around it.
The Arctic Polar Vortex peaks in the Northern Hemisphere's wintertime and has already moved southward several times this winter. In the past, it has also moved southward over Europe.On January 21, 1985, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Daily Weather Map series showed a strong polar vortex centered over Maine.
The Polar Vortex also affects ozone. For more information on the Polar Vortex and how it affects ozone, visit NASA's Ozone Watch page: ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/facts/vortex_NH.html
