Its sometimes hard to be a farmer,
Nice outside, but the next few days it will be tropical, Then the ladies stay inside, It's cooler there,
Then in the evening and night into the meadow.
It is no fun for humans and animals, that heat,
Only my Camel Josphine, enjoy the heat
and the drought is also becoming a problem again.
Hope the rain comes soon.

J'en profite d'avoir un peu de temps pour mettre plusieurs photos , la semaine prochaine j'ai du bois à faire... ☺
It is unbelievable, how careless the industry can be. They can easily destroy the most beautiful and pristine piece of coast for their explorations, and once the profits are gone, they just leave everything behind. This is an old coal mine terminal, that is left there.

En rentrant de Bretagne, nous avons fait étape dans la petite ville de Chenonceau. Forcément, nous avons profité de visiter la plus prestigieuse demeure de la commune.
Welles of the Saint-Trinity, Newfoundland, Canada est une superbe scène et des paysages magnifiques pour profiter des vues sous tous les angles placés pour les visiteurs du monde entier et des paysages paisibles et un sanctuaire du monde entier, y compris Barbour Heritage bArbour Hoover Dam Barrage électrique et une cascade sur le rond-point de la route entourant le théâtre Weelllesley et le concert de célébrités à jamais sur une scène magnifique et un terrain impressionnant. Au-dessus de la ville se trouve une grande architecture et une grande texture de l'armée et des rez-de-chaussée du blanchisseur de Cape Santa Christina, port d'escale de Beverley Channel dans l'océan Atlantique, une lumière magnifique dans toute sa splendeur et de la lumière en diffusion et parsemée d'intérêts par sa valeur extra-polarisante dans le système horizontale et polaire, plusieurs églises et monuments de l'ancien village de la Sainte-Ephège et la galante Ephé Egine !

Quand on pense profiter d'un passage sur Brest pour aller faire de la photo à la pointe Saint-Mathieu, mais que le brouillard s'en mêle. Je croyais que c'était fichu. Eh bien finalement, j'ai découvert une superbe ambiance de ce lieu dans la brume.
Have a nice week, Everyone. !
The cows will go out later this year.
there is snow now, and the grass does not grow. !
But it can change quickly.,
I hope !!!
Thanks and greetings all the farm animals ,

Dernière création qui mine de rien m’a pris 20 heures étalé sur 6 jours . J’ai dû me faire livrer de nouveaux crayons et estompe.
Joyeuse Pâques , je vous souhaite de pouvoir profiter de ce moment différent pour parler à vos proches par FaceTime.
À la maison, Duhamel, Québec, Canada.

Puisqu'il est préférable de demeurer à la maison en ces temps de pandémie et que de toute façon les routes sont fermées pour sotir de la région, aussi bien en profiter pour faire un grand ménage des photos et dieu sais qu'il y en a... C'est aussi agréable de profiter de l'arrivé des migrateurs dans le secteur. Aujourd'hui 21 avril une bonne bordéede neige mouillée et de la bien belle visite. Ils sont tellement farouches ces Canards branchu que j'ai rester sous les intempéries pendant plusieurs heures pour faire cette photo. J'aurai bien aimer un close-up, mais ce sera pas pour aujourd'hui... J'ai donc décidé d'essayer un portrait de groupe, le voici.

Since it is preferable to stay at home in these times of pandemic and that in anyway the roads are closed to leave the region, might as well to take advantage of that time to clean up older photos and files them and god know that there a lot ... It's also nice to take advantage of the arrival of some migrants in the area.
Today, April 21, a good amount of wet snow and a very nice group of visiter. They are so fierce these Wood Ducks that I stay in the bad weather for several hours to take this photo. I would have liked a close-up but not today... So I decided to try a group portrait, here it is.
No ropes or anchors would likely have been required to secure these lovely ladies to the dock, during the early January cold snap, These boats appeared well secured, and frozen into place.

The NSSR ran a storage move yesterday using DM&IR 193 and GN 400. Missabe caboose C-205 was used as a shoving platform and became a stranded asset until the empty coal train is pulled out early next year. This was the third of four coal sets being temporally stored on the line for Detroit Edison. Duluth - 12/16/19
Voilà depuis les fortes chaleurs, sur le bord de la fenêtre, près d'un conifère nain, je pose une soucoupe avec de l'eau que je change plusieurs fois par jour, j'y ajoute un peu de sirop de fruits rouges que Maya adore, elle vient souvent se désaltérer. Elle reste près de son arbuste, profitant de son ombre. Voilà des moments simples mais qui embellissent la vie!!
VOIR EN GRAND MA MAYA.

petite promenade dominicale un temps radieux comme ça il faut en profiter
ce petit village d'alpage est classé et surtout entouré de mélèzes qui donnent des teintes sublimes en automne
Ma dernière visite sur l'Ile sœur a été l'occasion de sortir mon Canon 7D et de profiter des magnifiques paysages de Moorea. Le Happy Hour d'une soirée dans un hôtel de la place était doté d'un magnifique coucher de soleil. Sur la plage, les chaises longues restent seules en attendant le lever du jour du lendemain.
Deuxième photo dans ma série maskoutaine, ce merle d'Amérique profitait de l'ombre sous un arbre en bordure de la piste cyclable. Peut-être est-ce parce que j'y porte davantage attention, mais je ne croyais pas qu'il y avait autant de merles autour de nous. Ce doit-être l'espèce d'oiseau que je vois le plus. J'aurais plutôt eu tendance à croire que les geais bleus ou les mésanges étaient les oiseaux les plus communs. En passant le titre est un jeu de mots, en anglais les merles sont des "robins".

Henry Ford's Electric Railroad - The DT&I was purchased by Ford and Henry had the idea to make the line to his Ford Plant electrified. After testings were not a success and the DTI was sold off for a large profit.
Le village de Villecroze appartient au territoire Haut-Var Verdon et se situe au cœur du canton de Flayosc à 350 mètres d'altitude.
Il est adossé aux premiers contreforts des Alpes de Provence et jouit d'un climat
privilégié en toutes saisons.
Villecroze est un village provençal authentique : il a su conserver son caractère médiéval avec ses arcades et ses ruelles étroites.
Il offre un vrai labyrinthe de ruelles avec des passages voûtés, des arcades, des placettes et le doux bruit des fontaines.
Enfin, il ne haut pas hésitez pas à demander les itinéraires de sentiers de randonnées balisés pour toute la famille.
A visiter absolument !

“Only $2,575,291.” That’s how much GM paid for all of Vauxhall in 1925, according to Alfred P. Sloan in his book, My Years With General Motors. Small stuff for GM, “only a kind of experiment in overseas manufacturing.”
But for Vauxhall, and for Britain, it was the beginning of the end of an era. GM’s acquisition of the small company – Vauxhall never made more than 1500 cars a year – would bring profits to the Luton-based firm, but it would also mean the end of a great Edwardian-era sportster and one of the best British sports cars of the ‘20s, the Vauxhall 30/98.
The 30/98 was the final iteration of a theme that Vauxhall’s Chief Engineer, Lawrence Pomeroy, Sr., (father of noted British auto writer) had begun with the three-liter Prince Henry in 1910. Named for the European trials in which it had first success, the Prince Henry’s engine was enlarged to four liters in 1912-13 in response to competition. That was good, but not enough for some. When one John Higginson asked Pomeroy for a faster Shelsey Walsh hillclimber, Pomeroy enlarged the bore of the four-cylinder engine by three mm and lengthened the stroke by five mm – by cold stretching the crank with a steam power hammer!
Blacksmith engineering completed, the now 4.5 liter engine went into a Prince Henry frame, and Higginson went out and set a record at Shelsey Walsh the first time out. As sure as you can say “Race on Sunday sell on Monday,” a whole lot of folks were beating a path to Bedfordshire for what he was having over there.
A lot is relatively speaking. Only 18 of this new model, christened the 30/98 (for no known reason; the numbers match neither tax nor horsepower), were made before The Great War. The limited production numbers have more than something to do with the chassis price of the 30/98 being £900 while the standard Prince Henry, also in production, cost only £580.
After the war, the 30/98 took over as the “E-type” which, fixed-head engine and all, was guaranteed to do 100 mph in chassis form. In fact, all 30/98s, from the beginning to the end, came with the promise that if the buyer wished, the factory would certify that ability with the customer’s own car.
The E-type was succeeded in turn by the OE-type, which was more different than a simple addition of a letter would suggest. It was drawn not by Pomeroy, whose overhead cam design was rejected after which he left for the U.S., but by one C.E. King. Instead of the E-type’s exposed valves and valve springs, the OE was an overhead valve design with very large valves. Where the E-type made 90 BHP at 3000 rpm (very good for a pre-war design), the OE produced around 115 bhp with revs raised to 3300 RPM. The engine speed was made possible in part by the use of aluminum connecting rods, advanced for 1922, and also by a reduction of the stroke by 10 mm, though the latter was done mainly to keep hood height down. The OE, though, displaced only 4224 cc, and traditionalists preferred the torquier earlier model. Oh well.
The innovation of front brakes came in 1923, though these were cable-operated off a foot pedal which also activated a transmission brake. The meat of the stopping chore was done by the rear brakes, applied by a large lever mounted outside the car itself. Hydraulics came soon after, but only for the foot brake, the cable system being retained for the rears.
Most 30/98s came with either four-seater Velox or Wensum bodywork, the latter in a handsome nautical style. Only one was known to be bodied in the U.S., that a rumble-seat roadster built by the Durham Body Co. of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania firm started making carriages in 1887 and expired in the’ 50s after being reduced to making luxury conversions, but in 1926 was well known for the quality automotive coachwork it supplied. The 30/98 Register has no record of the original owner, the registrar David Marsh surmises that the car was shipped from the factory with no body but with fenders and the Vauxhall hallmark fluted hood and radiator.
Ralph Stein wrote of what is probably this car in his book The Great Cars. It was owned by Ray Gilhooly, who sold used foreign cars in New York (though he is best known for the spectacular spin he performed at Indianapolis and that now carries his name). Stein almost bought the car, but presumably it instead went to a J. Frost who began to restore the car but only took it apart. Bought by New York collector Gardener King after World War II, it was finally rebuilt. In the mid-60s it was sold to W.H. Lane, who in turn sold it in 1986 to Charles Mallory of New York City.
The Vauxhall is now, as it always was, a very long legged machine, its booming exhaust chasing it up to an easy 70 mph and beyond. With right-hand drive, the gearshift is near the driver’s right knee. It’s a solid affair which feels as if it was machined from a billet. It isn’t easy to change gears, the non-synchro box wanting double clutching going up as well as down. It’s best just to short shift, matching gear speeds at lower rpm and relying on the engine’s thunder to bring up the speed.
Though light for the era, the steering does take some shoulder to start the almost 3000-pound car turning, though once set into a turn the 32×4.5 Dunlop’s cling with surprising tenacity. Nor does the chassis betray their effort. Brakes are the weak link, the foot brake pulling the car from side to side, though once the drums are warmed the handbrake is quite effective. The trick is not to forget to reach for the handbrake while also remembering that the Vauxhall also has a center throttle, with the brake on the right. If you have to stop right now, what is it one grabs or stomps or…? Speed, though, was the 30/98’s trump: At Brooklands alone some 27 firsts, 28 seconds, and 14 thirds were counted by 1926. It is a tribute to the quality of the Vauxhall 30/98 that one came in fourth in the first Watkins Glen Grand Prix in 1949.
Production of the 30/98 continued after GM bought Vauxhall, but GM had other plans. Vauxhall was to become a volume producer of cars that Alfred Sloan understood: ones that made money. If not history. The 604th and last 30/98 was completed early in 1927. But even today, British enthusiasts debate Bentley versus vintage Vauxhall. It was just that kind of car.

Lac Yihun Lhatso ou Xīnlù Hǎi (Lac Xinlu), à l'est de Dege, province du Sichuan, Chine.
Cette jolie jeune-femme dans sa tenue traditionnelle tibétaine est un modèle professionnel venu au lac avec une équipe pour une séance de prises de vues. Tout à fait charmante, elle accepta que nous profitions de l'aubaine pour réaliser quelques clichés d'elle, prenant même la pose pour nous.
Le lac occupe une vallée en U barrée par l'ancienne moraine terminale d'un glacier. Il est considéré comme un lac sacré par le bouddhisme tibétain et une route de kora (Circum ambulation des Tibétains) fait le tour du lac.
Le lac et les ruisseaux adjacents sont connus pour les centaines de rochers sculptés d'inscriptions religieuses (Pierres de mani)
