Charlies Watts passed away 24th August 2021.
Drummer for The Rolling Stones. I have been listening to the Stones since , well most of my life. Today feels like the end of an era.
I saw them on TV performing this song in 1964 and fell in love with Mick Jagger aged 6. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKfN3CuFXA

One of our rough sleepers... taken some years back. A well-known young man who died suddenly on 21st October. I only heard today when I noticed a wreath hung at the place where he usually sat. So very sad!
Loved by many, my dearest loyal friend, walking companion and photo model has passed away. I miss him so much already; he will stay forever in my heart
Last Friday Foekie died at the age of 13 years old.

Labradors make excellent receivers. Pearl set the baseline. Gone now for five years, I’m so glad I snapped this memento while she was in her prime.
This is yet another portrait from a session that I always intended to revisit. A spontaneous moment in a frozen, windswept cornfield with Katie. And one of the takeaway images was a quick grab shot with an iPhone camera. Absolutely no urgency or sense of time. Just a quick capture as she looked back at me. My mindset then was "we'll come right back here in day or a week and do it all over again". Surely more and even better photos would result. And I would look back at this as a mere practice run. But a week later the corn was harvested. And shortly thereafter it snowed. And the session just got pushed back until it was eventually forgotten. Now each passing day tugs me a bit further away from the moment I pressed the shutter on this photo. It's like getting dragged inexorably out to sea by a rip tide. I saw Katie the other day and her hair was styled in a multi-color mohawk. I just smiled as I realized the proverbial shoreline had finally slipped from view. Not that she didn't look stunning in a mohawk, it just would not have fit into the moment I had tried to create here. We'll do another session some day, of that I'm sure. But this moment in the barren cornfield is now firmly part of the past, and there is simply no going back.

Here is Amtrak 121 running through on a Monday in January of 2024. Had to take the opportunity before the roads got to bad to get a Metroliner in the snow and it was quite a sight to watch 11 cars make a big snow cloud and with only 1 ACS-64!

The RIP (Repair in Place) building is part of the fantastic Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. It is a museum where one can wander all over the grounds and peer inside some of the buildings. Prior to when this building was built in 1944-45 repairs were done outside 356 days/year. Today, old train cars and other restoration projects are performed and stored in this huge building.
Huge, Huge Loss for All of Us and for Toyville.
Condolences to his family.
Sir Nick will be missed ... He was the Master of Toy Photography....

African leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) are one of the two big cats, along with the lion and included in the big five of Africa, that inhabit the continent of Africa.
Queen Lorian, a very famous and senior female leopard, was found dead yesterday morning, mauled to death by either Lions or another Leopard. She has left behind a 14 month old son, Roho who shall to fend for himself in the wild.
This was my latest sighting of her during a photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
I'm glad I managed to get a shot of this century-old classic when I did. It was demolished yesterday. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/w-a-gough-violin-16th-aven...
