There are two phases of snow removal, there and gone. Well, mostly gone. I'm not sure about Flickr Friday's policy on diptychs so this is a way to find out.
A glance into Amtrak's Lumber Street facility in 2007 revealed some nice P32-8s in the nicer Phase IV scheme. Unfortunately, Amtrak today insists on sticking with the bland Phase V paint and it just isn't as nice.
This Moose yearling is going through what I like to call an Awkward Phase, he is looking a bit dorky and it certainly doesn't help that his fur or lack of it in places has something going on. I guess he is still kind of cute despite everything! lol!! :)

I haven't had much luck finding bears on many of my recent photo safaris. That changed on my trip to Banff. The highlight of the trip was finding this black bear mother with 4 cubs. And one was white!
It rained most of the time on my trip. This little one was cold, miserable and hungry. Mother was focused on grazing on grasses and weeds, particularly dandelions. She needed her nourishment to feed four hungry cubs. The cub was so adorable and needy I wanted to grab it, cuddle with it and keep it warm. Yeah right........dream on slow runner.
I had seen a rare Kermode, or Spirit Bear, before and thought perhaps they had traveled far from the BC coastal rainforests here. However, white-phase bears, not Spirit Bears, had been seen here earlier so suspect that what's this cold, wet darling bear cub was.
The white-phase black bear is not a genetic anomaly or the product of a recessive gene like the Spirit Bear. Just one of many colors black bears can have.
Naturally I took many shots of the mother and cubs while they were somewhat in the open on the edge of the forest. The mix of bright light and shade made it challenging, as did the weeds and shrubs that the cub walked thru. I did get many decent shots of this special family though that I will share more of in the future.

Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.
Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.
La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.
La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.
Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:
la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes
la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.
En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:
un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero
una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.
The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.
We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.
The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.
From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:
The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses
the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.
In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.
a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.

Cha Red Woods, is on the list of nature's collectives. A. lovely place to visit no matter what your status is, and what phase you are going through.. Phases as we go through our lives. I always believed that when I am sad it rains. Rains and I have a very strong bond. It makes me feel that the droplets are just your feelings over the year under your chest made it heavy and you have waited years to fall from your eyes as tears. Sometimes it happens, and a lot of times it does not. But what remains is the buried feeling of droplets and turns to grudges.
