Another saved image from my trip to RHS Wisley yesterday. Unfortunately we were not able to retrieve the shots i lost, so I'll just have to make another visit next week and try and capture what I lost yesterday!
Happy Weekend everyone!
Thank you all for your lovely comments which I always appreciate, but working full time means I struggle to find the time to thank everyone individually. BIG THANKS!!!

The egret dropped and retrieved the same fish several times before getting it into this head-first position and swallowing it.
Had any of the golf balls gone into this pond on the golf course at Kissimmee Bay then I wouldn't have been trying to retrieve them.
Submarine Bridge Saturday. Beech Mountain's ALCo number 115 heads to the mine to retrieve the last cut of loads for the day. They are passing what is known as the "lower sub" bridge that is appropriately enough located downstream from the "upper sub" on the Left Fork of the Buckhannon River.
Have been watching peregrines since 2007 and these are the most aggressive chicks I've ever seen. Parents bring in a bird and it's 'Game on.' They will chase whoever has the bird up and down and back and forth on the cliffs until someone finally lands with it. Falcon on bottom has pigeon, she just retrieved from dad. Click to enlarge

#Superstition
I've always wanted to use this collector coin for an MM theme, and the "Superstition" theme gave me another opportunity. My dad used to give me special edition coins for collecting, usually 5 or 10 Deutsche Mark (DM) pieces that were (and still are, but now as Euro, of course) issued for special anniversaries or in honour of important personalities. This is one of the coins. I'm keeping it in my wallet as a good luck charm, and whenever I change the wallet, the coin comes along.
There is nothing superstitious about the theme of the coin itself: a 10 DM silver (werewolves, anyone?) coin, issued for the 150th anniversary of the now worldwide operating Kolpingwerk, a Catholic Charity founded by Adolph Kolping (Kolping was a German shoemaker and later a clergyman who had originally initiated it in the mid-1800s as a journeyman union to improve the working conditions of apprentices), but the mere fact that it's a good luck charm makes it an ideal candidate for "Superstition", and there is also a quite funny story connected to it.
Ages ago, when I visited a street party with friends, we went to a shop to buy some water bottles (ever since, I've long come to always bring a home-filled bottle along to spare me the hassle of buying on the go), and I didn't have any coins in my purse other than this 10 DM coin. I hesitated to use it, but then thought, "Come on, don't be superstitious, it's time to let go", so I paid for my bottle of water with it. And instantly regretted it, but again thought, "don't be silly, it's just a coin". Of course, I kept vigorously discussing it in my mind ("No, it's not just a coin, it's extra special"), and after we had been walking for a while, I decided to ask my friends to lend me some money, ran to the shop, felt even sillier than before, but what matters is: I got the coin back ;)
To emphasise the illusion of superstitions, I placed the coin on the "warped" mirror tile (fixated with modelling clay) and focused mainly on the distorted reflection. In the coin's design, there is also a triangle: a symbol that is not only perceived as holy but is also connected to the secret society of the Illuminati, about which myths and conspiracy theories persist to this day; so I tried to highlight it.
Size info: The coin's diameter is 3 cm/1,18 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
"I'll get it, mom!" Rooster lives for retrieving, anywhere, anytime, he'll go forever, I usually have to call it quits for his own good. When I first got him he wouldn't bring it back to me, now he does every single time.
I was trying out a used lens I bought for the first time. I do like the results.
Another photo retrieved from a damaged memory card and ruined camera. My trip to Hawaii was a few years back but I thought all photo memories were lost. This photo is of Haleakala, a dormant volcano on the island of Maui. This shot is taken on a path down into the depression, which is about 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. I couldn't go further in, too cold, too windy, and too scary a climb down. You can see some of the sand and clay particles flying around the photo. You get to the summit by car traveling the Haleakalā Highway, a road of switchbacks and steep drop-offs. At some point you drive through the clouds and when you reach the top, most of the clouds are below you. It was an awesome experience.

UP 815 retrieves a single load of cocoa butter from the street level spur to Blommer Chocolate, one of the only factories still active in the downtown Chicago area. Blommer receives shipments of sugar in covered hoppers on the upper level (out of frame to the right) and the street level spur is used to load overflow cocoa butter into tank cars. Union Pacific keeps a set of tank cars in Grand Avenue yard or further up the spur that Blommer essentially uses as storage tanks for whatever cocoa butter they can't fit in the factory. Every once in a while, they will ship out a load by rail as well. In this case, the crew is swapping the load for an empty and simply holding the loaded car in Grand Avenue yard. When the customer has room in their building for the product, UP will spot them the load. Cars are spotted in the street right next to the old building seen behind the Metra overpass, but unfortunately Blommer moves the car out to here themselves as trucks normally occupy the track near the building. That makes it basically impossible to get a shot down by the building which is something I've been wanting to get for a long time. In any case, this operation used to be handled only a handful of times a year or less, but has been more frequent in the last year or so with moves happening probably a handful of times a month.
And yes, I did get an over/under shot here, but I actually prefer it without a train overhead because you can actually see the classic Blommer building, which, in my opinion, makes this a more interesting industrial scene.

Jay - Garrulus Glandarius
Although they are the most colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.
The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently.
The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established.
In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

Without outbound loads to interchange, TRC 2005 leads a five unit light power move on its way to Searles to retrieve coal loads delivered by UP earlier that morning.
This adult female Peregrine is trying to retrieve a dead pigeon from the canal; seconds ago one of the three juveniles, who had the pigeon, lost her grip and dropped the pigeon in water while flying over the canal. The juvenile didn't know what to do other than circling over when the mother came along and tried three times to pick the pigeon up from the water. She managed to lift up the pigeon once but lost it soon afterwards. Either she didn't have a good grip due to choppy water or the pigeon became too heavy from absorbing water in its feathers. I am sure that the mother Peregrine gave a stern lecture to the youngster afterwards. Note that the day before she did retrieve a live pigeon from water that she stunned by dive bombing it. Most often it is the female that could kill and carry a large prey such as a pigeon. I haven't seen a male doing it yet. Burlington, Ontario.

Chick retrieving freshly caught pigeon and then the fun begins. The 2 siblings will want some of that yummy pigeon and will chase the victor until someone wins the prize. Would have liked a better angle, but it is what it is.

unfortunately about 15 seconds later two crows attacked him and he dropped the fish. didn't see if he even bothered to retrieve it.
The rear view of the house in 1980. I loved the proportions and clean lines of it. The plan was typical for a simple southern Maryland farm house: two rooms on each floor flanking a generous center stair hall and a front porch that ran the full length of the house. Inside the stairs remained minus the railing, but the curlique wood decoration at each step end was intact. There was one interior door left with recessed panels and nice moldings. At the front exterior, under the protection of the collasped porch roof, were the original louvered wood shutters on the first floor windows with their green paint, dull but unblemished.
The front of the house, which faced another small valley, was inaccessible for photographing due to the over growth of trees and underbush since it's abandonment. Though, even then, you could clearly see in the old front yard lilacs, yuccas and iris. There were the rutted vestiages of a circular drive that then sloped down into the woods and looped over to a creek crossing at the bottom of the valley and then climbed the side of a hill to the main road.
I only returned to this house once more, somehow talking my mother into joining me. But when we broke out of the woods and turned to follow the old trail to the house, there was no gable peaking through the trees. When we reached the site, only ash, a few charred timbers and twisted panels of the metal roof remained. But in the ashes I was able to retrieve several old square spikes used in its construction. Such a shame.

Eastbound on the Elgin Sub passing through the Pelican Lake Valley at Ninette Manitoba on its way from Elgin to Morris. The power is three of the four CN SD38-2s that CN acquired when the took over the Northern Alberta Railways - we called them "choppers". A few years later a shortline made a go of it on this stub ended line that I believe is now abandoned.
A friend of mine had ridden VIA up to Churchill a few weeks prior to this shot. Turns out he forgot his camera bag at the station at Winnipeg and luckily for him the station agent had it. We both worked for the BN in Minneapolis at the time. He asked if I wanted to ride along on the mission to retrieve! This was my first of what turned out to be numerous trips to Prairie Canada.
