Posting five city birds, all taken on 28 April 2021. I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same walk.
"I desperately needed to get out somewhere for just a short time this afternoon. The workmen did less loud banging on my walls today, but three weeks of this already and many weeks more, is pretty draining. I had a message from a neighbour today telling me to check for water leaking into my place. She was getting leakage from her neighbour and it could have spread along the main support beam. After checking my home, I couldn't see any sign of water or water marks, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Too many things going wrong at the moment!
It was reasonably sunny this afternoon, but it was quite windy. I had to hang on to my hat while trying to take my photos, but it felt so good to actually see some birds! Happy to see Hooded Mergansers, Redheads, Mallards, an American Robin, and of course, a Canada Goose. It was a treat to see a Horned Grebe (more than one), as I rarely see this species. Best of all, it was quiet where I went - just me and an occasional person who walked by. I only stayed for maybe half an hour, but it was a break I needed. Felt good, Wow, it is supposed to get up to 21C tomorrow! The next day's forecast looks good, but then we are supposed to get rain on three of the four following days."
To get a shot of a bird in one of these trees when the fruit is ripe has long been a goal of mine. I would have gladly settled for a Grackle, but the Bluebirds were an added bonus. I'll try hard to refrain from posting any more shots from here, but I don't know if I have that much restraint.

Well, posting once a week is certainly better than once a month, right!?
I have been busy training for the Walt Disney World Marathon and getting packed up, but cannot week for Sunday! It's always exciting to get back to Disney World, but even better when knowing that new experiences await. I had an amazing time running the Wine and Dine in November, and hope that this experience is just as rewarding.
As for today's picture, I thought it summed up my upcoming trip well. It's the icon at the start and finish of the marathon, and where I'll be picking up some seasonal shifts yet again! Not to mention how wonderful those bright blue sunny skies look. Much better than the cloudiness and snow in Minnesota!

After posting this photo of the upper level Kohl's entrance and reading the discussion that ensued, curiosity got the better of me and I finally decided to check the place out.
Kohl's is located in the former B.Altman store at the mall. B. Altman closed in November 1990 and Kohl's opened in September 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Forest Fair Mall opened in 1989 with upscale anchors that included Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Parisian, and Sakowitz. It also included Bigg's and Elder-Beerman as anchor stores. It consisted of 1.5 million square feet; the third largest mall in the US at the time. By the mid 1990s, all of the high-end stores left the mall (B. Altman and Sakowitz ended up going out of business altogether). By the time 2008 rolled around, ALL of the original anchors had closed.
Through the years, the mall had a handful of owners and was renamed at least 3 times over the years. It was known as Forest Fair Mall until 2004 when the Mills Corporation reopened it as Cincinnati Mills Mall after a $70 million renovation project which booted all of the inline stores and kept the theaters and what anchors had remained. Simon Malls acquired the Mills malls in 2007; in 2009 the mall was sold again and was renamed Cincinnati Mall, as the mills name didn't transfer with the sale. The mall's fourth name, Forest Fair Village, was announced in 2013, but that name appears nowhere on the building.
It could be argued that this mall should never have been built, as two other well-established malls (Northgate and Tri-County) are within 15 minutes of this mall and a third (Kenwood Towne Center) isn't too far away. Added to that is the fact that the blue-collar communities of Forest Park and Fairfield, where the mall is situated, were not able to support the high-end retail this mall originally featured. Finally, the exit where this mall is located did not develop the supporting retail as the aforementioned areas did.
At this point, I can count about 4 inline storefronts and three anchors that are open, plus one food court establishment whose status is unknown as of August 2016. All of the rest of the shops show various degrees of closure - some have their gates pulled down, some have the gates pulled with plastic or tarp covering them and the store windows, and some have even had their entrances drywalled off.
Posting the last 4 pictures from my roll of Kodak 100, I shot in Kuregem last weeks. Almost done ;) .

Did not have the time to look at all the drawings etc. you all have been posting in these last weeks.I'll try to catch up asap!
Approx. 10x14 cm, this one.
Posting four photos taken yesterday, 29 December 2024, SE of Calgary. Had hoped that I might just be lucky enough to see a Snowy Owl, but no luck this time finding my first Snowy for this winter. Looking back on Flickr, most of my old Snowy Owl images were taken in the month of January.
Seeing the return of snow forecast for the next few days, yesterday seemed to be a good chance to get out. It did snow last night, but not a great amount. The weather yesterday was supposed to be good and it turned into a beautiful day. The skies at times were just gorgeous during the five hours that I was out. It made such a welcome change from the overcast, white skies that I had on recent drives.
Birds were scarce. Only one bird of prey was seen, perched on a tall power pole. Before I managed to get a photo of it, from a distance, a pick-up truck came from behind me and off flew the bird. This has happened many times before, on an empty, quiet back road and just when I come across a bird to photograph, along comes the only vehicle, spooking the bird into flight. A lone Ring-necked Pheasant male more than made up for it, though. First caught sight of it way down the road, running through the tall grasses and plants. When it reached a nearby farm, it took off, flying, and disappearing. The only other birds I saw were a couple of Ravens and several Black-billed Magpies.
Old barns and homesteads were enjoyed, as always. Most, if not all, were familiar ones. Not sure when I will get out again, as four of the next five days are supposed to get snow. Just thankful for yesterday.
Finally posting another engine.
This has actually been cooking since early 2024. Main reason why it didn't get finished earlier was the fact that I wanted to make use of the new 5404 slope, which enabled me to get an incredibly simple, yet prototypical solution for the nose and back section, but in red it only got released a few months ago.
The model originally existed briefly as a 9V powered version, but I quickly decided to equip it with Powered Up and drop my 9V endeavors altogether. Simply not worth doing 9V anymore, as I can't build prototypical trucks and the parts situation around 9V compatible metal rails is basically a disaster, especially with switches. Never available, ridiculous prices. In the end it's simply easier and cheaper to use Powered Up for all my models to come. My classic BNSF GP38-2 lashup will get that treatment at some point, too.
Managed to cram two PUp L-motors in there, as well as the city hub of course. Barely fits due to the short fuel tank and the relatively low hood, but I made it work. The hub runs on PyBricks with the train control script for smooth acceleration and braking.
I'm currently using injection molded MS size wheels bought at HA bricks, but honestly can't recommend them, as all of them are seriously out of balance. Probably an issue with the mold they're using. They'll soon be replaced with 3D printed wheels from Brick Train Depot. I've been using those for my previous engines without any issues at all.
Neodymium magnet couplers from HA bricks and self-printed decals.
All in all, very happy with the result. Pulls like an absolute beast, too.
My apologies for not posting for a little while. It's been a bit busy around these parts, so please forgive my impromptu absence. Today's photo is one shot that I wanted to take for quite a while. And I got my wish, having grabbed it with both hands willingly! This beautiful cantilever bridge which opened in 1890 is one of my favourite sites. Internationally recognised, this bridge connects Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland. I believe this lovely bridge will be soon named a World Heritage site having been nominated in 2011. Fingers crossed!
When I was a student in Edinburgh, the university chaplaincy used to organise the most fantastic outings for us international students. I went on a few of them and what I can remember most was travelling across the Forth Bridge, either driving across the Road Bridge, or taking the train over the Rail Bridge (above). I have seen many postcards like this....but this one is one I took myself. I'm kinda proud of that. It's not a perfect shot. The day was overcast and it was around the middle of the day. A rushed photo as we were trying to make it to our next destination before lunch. So the colours are a bit dull but I was happy nonetheless. :) The companion shot of the Road Bridge came out much better so that will be the next post.
Sometimes we all have bridges to cross, decisions to make. They won't always be physical bridges like this one. In fact, mental bridges are always the hardest ones to cross. I know I'm guilty of hesitating sometimes, due to self doubt and lack of confidence. But I remember that every bridge has two ends. And when I make the first step, I can only come out to the other side. If you're lucky, you won't have to make that journey alone. So I take the time to appreciate all the ones who encourage me daily. Can you believe I have made it two years this month on Flickr? And my bridge support has been my amazing Flickr friends. I am soo lucky indeed. :)

Now I know that everyone is posting this, but I just think it's it's so cool! Though I can't tell whether that's brown or red, I'm gonna need to see more pics to make my final judgement.

Happy Thursday!!!

Good morning. Yesterday I realized that after posting the set on this wildflower known as Cut-leaved Teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus) that I hadn't posted any images along with butterflies. So I thought on this normally slow day here on flickr it would be a good time to post three images of a yellow female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) feeding on them. And for those you that might be interested and haven't seen the series on the flower itself with a detailed description of the plant can find it here at the below link...

Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a great Saturday and weekend. And so you'll know, I'll be offline most of today after this morning and as a result will not respond to comments in a timely manner once I am as I usually do so please bear with me on that. Thank you.

Posting six more old photos that were taken by my father many years ago, all taken before 1944.
I don't have the date that this photo was taken. All I know is that it was taken before 1944. When I did a Google Lens search this evening, I found out that this is Bird Rock / Craig yr Aderyn in Welsh. It is in the Dysynni Valley near Barmouth in Wales.
Tom Carden Bassindale, 1907 - 1976
Vera Kathleen Bassindale (nee Neal), 1914 -1998
They were married on 4th June 1938.
Whilst re-posting a photo of four of our cats (www.flickr.com/photos/90302621@N06/24156728895/in/album-7...) I added a link to each of their stories & realised I seem to have missed little Bella's life story....
Like almost all our cats she is a rescue kitty, but there are some unusual elements to the tale.
It was the summer of 2008. We had 5 cats already. My husband was living with his father that summer as he was ill. I had more leisure to read the local paper (which I normally wouldn't). Among the ads at the back was a small one for a local animal shelter & amongst the names was 'Cat - fluffy, friendly, mingled tortie girl'.
I don't know exactly why, but the description really stuck in my mind & I was still thinking about it several days later. I knew if I asked my hubs he would say ' Are you mad? You already have 5 cats!'.... so I didn't ask him :P
I persuaded a friend to take me to the shelter & have a look..... I'm sure all cat lovers know that once you make eye contact it's near impossible to back out, & then I was told that she had been abandoned in an empty house when the people moved out & left her behind....
So that was that. She came home.
I had had her for almost a week before I plucked up courage to tell my husband what I'd done. I took a print of the photo above & showed him how nice the garden was looking...... Lol, he looked at it & said 'That's not our cat'.... A pause. Then looked at me & said '...Or is it?'
Fortunately he likes cats & wasn't too cross. Since then she has been known as the kitty that snuck in under the 'NO MORE CATS!' tape that had been (metaphorically) wound around our house like a police cordon.
She is the friendliest, sweetest little cat who will give you a high five if you ask nicely :)
Continuing with posting photos from my archives. Not sure when I will get out for a drive, given that our winter weather continues. November 23 2024: lots of snow and it looked like almost 10-12 inches of snow on top of my back fence. Can't complain, though, as mild, fall weather lasted well into November, which was wonderful. So thankful that I managed to get out for groceries a few days ago, so now I can hibernate for a little while.
Yesterday, 28 November 2024, I got up early, thinking of driving south to the Saskatoon Farm. However, change of plans, as our weather yesterday morning was -17°C (feels like -23°C), with freezing fog. More freezing fog today (29 November 2024), too. Another good day to stay home! Next week is forecast to be 'warmer'.
I will be adding the description that I wrote under a different, previously posted image taken on the same day.
"This photo was taken on 8 September 2015. In the morning, I joined a group of friends for a three-hour stroll at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. 38 bird species were seen, though I didn't manage to see any of the tiny, fast-moving Warblers. It was good to see 28 Wood Ducks, but they were far, far away, in an area that is still closed due to devastating flood damage. The Sanctuary had been closed for about two years for this reason and only very recently re-opened just a part of the area.
The Calgary Zoo is very close to the Sanctuary, so after our morning walk, I decided to call in at the Zoo. I hadn't been for about a year and I really missed going there. Of course, many of the garden flowers were past their prime, but I did find a few that were fit to photograph. I love photographing the Water Lilies. They always seem to glow, as if they had a light inside.
I knew I wouldn't be able to walk far, having already been walking all morning, but I really wanted to get to the ENMAX Conservatory to see what was going on. I had been longing all summer to see the tropical butterflies and plants. The butterfly season is coming to an end for these tropical beauties, but there were still plenty of them to be seen. Also, this month, the parking lot that I use will close for the winter and I don't like the drive back home from the north parking area, using Deerfoot Trail, so tend not to go to the Zoo all winter.
There was so much activity going on at the Zoo two days ago. People everywhere, carrying large animals wrapped in white, protective coverings, preparing for the upcoming ILLUMINASIA, Lantern & Garden Festival. Each animal is an individual lantern and there are so many of them. I noticed that several of the real animals in their enclosures were watching all the unaccustomed activity, which made me smile.
A good day, despite the overcast sky, and plenty of photo opportunities. Recently, I have been finding far fewer things to photograph, with fall on its way, so a day like this was more than welcome."
I was fully planning on posting some Bat For Lashes photos this morning but I'm afraid that will have to wait for this afternoon. Radiohead made their new song "These Are My Twisted Words" available for free download here:
www.waste.uk.com/Store/waste-radiohead-twisted+words.html
Listening to it for the third time...it's wonderful.
Also, don't steal this photo. It's copyrighted.

I've commented before, in posting photos of covered bridges, that new bridges are being built in many areas, so that the inventory of such bridges is becoming larger. This bridge is a case in point: it was built in 1999. Officially, it is a 3-span Howe truss bridge, but as the interior shot below shows, the bridge floor/deck is concrete; that photo also shows clearly that the roadway is two lanes wide. I don't know the width and height, but this is a large-scale covered bridge, tall enough to accommodate trucks. There is a pedestrian walkway on only the south side, shown above. The bridge is in Williams County, which is in the extreme NW corner of Ohio (bounded by Michigan to the north and Indiana to the west); it crosses the Tiffin River near county road 21/N. The road the bridge itself is on is less clear: the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) information on the bridge says it carries county road 59 across the river; the Flickr map shows the road as CR 22.75; and the Google map shows it to be CR I-25. If I'd been aware of the different labels for the road before going to the bridge, I would have looked for signs at the site; failing that, I'll go with ODOT and say it's on CR 59. It was sunny, with blue skies, when we set out for the bridge, but by the time we had driven the 40-some miles to it, the skies were mostly gray. I like the vegetation in the foreground, though, and the soft light on it.
Update, August 30, 2011 -- Thanks to the comment by Brent Kneebush, who lives near this bridge, a better description of the bridge and its location can be given: Although the deck is concrete, he reports that it is lightweight concrete and is supported entirely by wooden structural members above and below the deck, so it is very much like the old-time bridge, except for the scale. He also reports that the bridge is at the junction of county roads 125 and 21N (Google Maps did better than ODOT and the Flickr map in identifying roads).
I'm posting these images of a rare North American native orchid, because there is a move to have this species included in the federal list of Endangered Species. I took these images in August of 2003 on Starr Mountain in Tennessee. I believe they are now extirpated in from the only site for this orchid species in South Carolina - Greenville County.
A little TBT posting... this shot from circa 1965, taken by my dad on his Minolta at camp on a Shi Shi beach trip with his buddy Al. This was back when there was road access out there (long since closed and completely overgrown) - they took a loaded Jeep out there. These day's it's a pack-in sort of deal, and a camp like this would be impressive.

I'm posting this photo as a tribute to Brian Day. I mean with a photo that looks like this, there really is no other person so fitting as this man. Why this photo? Well I took the time to make sure every god damn little fine detail was perfect before calling it "finished". I mean down to the millipixel. This is what Brian does.
His photos can best be described as the extremes in precision. No sloppy bokeh bullshit. No abstract weird mushroom tripper weirdness. Very crisp, fine, beautiful work. Go check him out. And while you are there, ask him about his briefcase.
The photo at hand? Me dicking around in San Francisco over the weekend up by the Golden Gate Bridge. I came across this spot and had run frolicking around taking pictures, picking mushrooms, and playing in the fog. I'll post a video of that.
