I'd just missed a most amazing sunset sky but pressed on down the beach anyway to catch the afterglow . As I often do ,I became fascinated by the
backwash of the breaking waves as they retreated down the wet sand , picking up the colour from the sky. There were no filters, just as slow as I could get the shot. It was a Precious Sight, by Richard Hawley, it always is.

In the dense, green forests deep and wide,
The tiger roams with a regal stride.
Golden coat with ebony streaks,
A silent hunter, power it speaks.
Eyes like embers, sharp and keen,
Gliding through shadows, barely seen.
Each step measured, soft yet strong,
The jungle echoes its haunting song.
Guardian of the wild, fierce and free,
A symbol of nature's majesty.
Through mangroves dense, or grassy plains,
The tiger rules where wildness reigns.
Yet whispers tell of dwindling ground,
Of forests lost, no prey is found.
The king now fights a battle grim,
A world forgetting the need for him.
O mighty tiger, bold and true,
Your roar still calls, we must renew.
Protect the forests, let rivers run,
For life with you and us is one.
Let cubs frolic in twilight's glow,
Let jungles thrive where you bestow.
For when the tiger fades from sight,
The world will dim, robbed of its light.

Winter pink skies, freezing cold and snow-covered (birch) trees... And Nature acting as a balm on me.
Rebuilt AC4400CWM CP 8027 pops off the Mississippi River lift bridge eastbound at MP 391.1 on the River Subdivision leading CPKC train 260 (St Paul to Deramus Yard in Shreveport, LA). They are approaching the 2nd Street crossing and about to pass the Milwaukee Road era searchlights still guarding the interlocking at the start of double track. This area is rife with relics from railroading's past that make great props including an 1893 built depot just out of sight to the left that is still in use by CPKC as an office.
The bridge here is rather fascinating to me given that it was probably one of the last major capital projects completed by the Milwaukee. This is actually the fourth one on this site and it was built in 1981 replacing a circa 1910 swing bridge. The bridge is 1755 ft in total length including a long curved deck girder trestle on the east side and a Warren truss span that date from the 1910 rebuilding while the towers, 325 lift span, and approaches are all from the 1981 reconstruction. The fact that the trustees of the bankrupt (since 1977) Milwaukee Road were convinced to approve such a major project while simultaneously in the process of liquidating over two thirds of the railroad's trackage serves as a testament to how important this route was seen to the company.
Historically the first rails here date to the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad which completed a line between Minneapolis and Minnesota City in 1870. A year later the road was purchased by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and remained a core mainline of the 'Milwaukee Road' for the entirety of its existence. In 1986 it became the property of the Soo Line, itself a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific and in 2023 it is now a key link in the new CPKC's Canada to Mexico network. With traffic only forecasted to grow as a result of the merger, the decision to invest in this bridge forty years ago seems rather prescient.

I finally saw my first few butterflies of the year in a short stroll in my local reserve. Friends have seen butterflies before this.
This is the only butterfly I saw settled.
It is damaged and not on a nice background, but I always like to upload my first UK butterfly photo each year.
If only I could swap this with one of Susan's!
Formosa Beach - Torres Vedras - Portugal
Formosa is located in the southern part of Santa Cruz, bordered to the south by the Amoeira Beach Amoeira and north to Guincho Beach.
Forming a small but very nice and cozy bay surrounded by lofty and rugged cliffs, is a very sheltered beach that protects swimmers from the cold north winds, making this beach frequented at all seasons of the year.
Beach served by an extensive, but narrow but narrow sandy area, is a beautiful bay that invites for a paused and relaxed swim.
Due to its location within the urban environment and, being endowed with various infrastructure and beach facilities, it becomes convenient for all Santa Cruz residents - way walk to the beach.

A moment to pause and observe keenly, before the energy flows again. Willow playing in the water at the Mosman Park beach.
A nice couple allowed me to photograph their pup jumping into Lake Dillon. I emailed them a number of the shots, and picked my favorite of the bunch to post.
My eyes fooled me very briefly about what I was seeing distantly in the canyon. It was due to the nature of the lighting...
I ran in to this guy in the middle of one of the busiest streets in Stockholm.
Herr Marchi is usually shooting with analogue gear, but this day i caught him using Nikon digital paired with a Sigma zoom.
A few more shots from the wonderful Margaret River Region in Western Australia.
This is Injidup Beach, which certainly does not disappoint when it comes to being a lovely beach with the setting sun beyond the point.
