Probably the most unexpected bird of my trip to the northeastern corner of BC! We were driving on a barely driveable dirt road near Fort St. John when this female Sharp-tailed Grouse crossed the road in front of us with her chicks! A lifer, and a very unexpected one!

The B4 class were 4-4-0 steam locomotives for express passenger work on the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. They were designed by R. J. Billinton and were either built at Brighton works 1899–1902 or else by Messrs Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1901. Twelve members of the class were rebuilt from 1922–1924 by L. B. Billinton with a larger boiler, cylinders and a superheater. The rebuilt locomotives were classified B4X.
LB&SCR Nr. 69 "Bagshot" became Southern Railway Class B69 Nr. 2069 and was retired in 1934.

Beautiful swimsuit bikini model goddess on a beautiful December Malibu afternoon! Shot it yesterday. :) Love, love, love the new Sony A7 R!
Was a fun test shoot. Many, many more to come!

Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
Just as work was ending today, I glanced outside my office window and watched this Sharpie settle to the ground with a Junco in it's talons.
If you zoom in on this pic, you can see that the Junco also has it's toes wrapped around the leg of the Sharpie.
Sadly for the Junco, it was the end of the line.
Not as sadly, for the Sharpie, it was the first (and today, the only) successful strike of the Sharpie. I watched it make four other attempts at grabbing one of the Juncos that were feeding in our back yard.
After bringing the Junco to the ground, the Sharpie resituated the Junco in it's talons and then flew off to a tree to partake of its bounty.

I came across 4 sharp tailed grouse today. Unfortunately I had too much lens on (not a problem I'm used to), and could not back up and keep the birds in view.
They survive the extreme cold, by borrowing into the snow at cold temps. A few days ago, I saw one with just its head out of the snow, as I approached to investigate, the snow exploded into flying grouse.
You can also see the feathers on the feet to keep them warm even when they are about in the cold.
A wider view of Haydn Road, and Sharpes Coaches NLZ 116, a former Dublin Bus Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TL, parked outside Nottingham Free School on 30.4.22
Coach & Bus UK 2019 took place at the NEC in Birmingham over October 2nd & 3rd. The biennial event is the smaller of the two major UK trade shows which both take place at the NEC in alternating years.
Nonetheless there was still plenty to see including exhibits from ADL, Arriva, BASE, BKM, Dawson, EVM, Harris, Irizar, Mellor, Moseley, Noone, Pelican, Unvi and Volvo to name but a few. I visited on the first day of the show.
When on NCT's brown line buses, I've seen on most days a Sharpes double decker (or two) parked down Haydn Road and it was only a matter of time before I had a walk down to take photos. That time came on 30.4.22 when I'd already seen there was one (despite it being a Saturday) and on my return journey towards town decided to go on foot and take a look.
Rather fortunately, the bus waiting for me was NLZ 116, an ex-Dublin B7TL which I was after a better photo of! It is pictured on Haydn Road outside Nottingham Free School, on a Saturday evening, which seems like a weird time for it to be there. What was weirder was that two days later it was still there, seemingly untouched.
I went for a bike ride up to Sharp's Ridge. I wanted to ride the Lincoln section of the trail section. So I rode up to the trailhead just off Dill Street. Then rode over to the Hanover Street trailhead.
Took a short break and then rode up to the Picnic area. While there, I flew the DJI drone. Capturing photos and videos.
Then I rode back down to the Hanover street trailhead. Took another short break, and then went home.

The 50th and final Showbus took place near Redbourn in Hertfordshire on 25/09/2022 and was attended by around 245 buses and coaches from up and down the UK.
My photos show some of the vehicles that helped make the day another big success.
Second in the line of Sharpes vehicles was Gemini 2 60 YWX, carrying a registration that was formerly on a Dublin Olympian. IIRC this is an ex-Bournemouth bus, which although still a G2 has come from a city besides Edinburgh for once.

The beautiful Venus and Helen from Homer's Iliad!
"Meantime the brightest of the female kind,
The matchless Helen, o'er the walls reclined;
To her, beset with Trojan beauties, came,
In borrow'd form, the laughter-loving dame.
(She seem'd an ancient maid, well-skill'd to cull
The snowy fleece, and wind the twisted wool.)
The goddess softly shook her silken vest,
That shed perfumes, and whispering thus address'd:"
--Homer's Iliad, George Chapman

Recently I've had some rotten luck narrowly missing several good deckers from the coach operators (including Tiger European ex-NCT Y667 DRA), but some good fortune here meant I was in the right place at the right time to get a better photo of Sharpes Volvo B7TL ALX400 MIB 658, which is depicted here on Mansfield Road, but about to turn up Woodborough Road on 21.3.22

This week when I drove by this area, I saw kids with beach towels and swim suits actually jumping into the icy water. Brrrr.
Sharps of Batley DAF MB230 Duple 340 JIL 5660 was seen in Blackpool on 5th October, 1996. It was new to Wallace Arnold as C126 DWR one of just three DAFs supplied to that operator.
There were 3 sharpies amongst all the ducks and geese at Gatton. The stilts had a go at them at one stage and they in turn picked on the only guys smaller than them, the dotterels. Mostly they all behaved though.
It was very green all the way out to Gatton but Lake Galletly is getting very dry and Lake Clarendon Dam was totally dry. It seems there was no run off from the storms a month ago.
