This was the last remaining of the litter. It's speculation that coyotes seen in the vicinity the evening before may have taken the others in the litter. Often the mother will move the kits to another den so I'm hoping this was the case.
I got this capture a rainy night last summer, at the window of my balcony. It is actually exciting to play with the multiple levels of focus and perspectives that are created inside bright spots of bokeh. Recommended to experiment with. Just remember to aim diagonally with a steep angle towards the glass.
My warmest wishes to all of you for everything good in this new year!

In folklore, often used to predict the coming Winter weather. The longer the orange colored band, the milder the Winter! Whether there is any merit to this is a matter for speculation. However, we who have been brought up on this bit of folklore, subscribe to its veracity! If this critter is correct, we will have a slightly milder Winter.

Adele
The phrase "Chasing Pavements" is not common. Adele used it to indicate a hopeless endeavor. In the United States, there was some speculation that the phrase meant chasing gay men, and that the song was about being gay.
Lyrics Chasing pavements
I've made up my mind
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right
Don't need to look no further
This ain't lust
I know this is love but
If I tell the world
I'll never say enough
Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I'm in love with you
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
I'd build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waiting as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it or
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere yeah
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if, it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements? Or
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Thought I'd change it up a bit and bring a mammal into the picture. These guys are but one of the speculations for the Golden Eagle being on the decline in SoCal. We used to have a fare amount in San Diego's surrounding Mountain range, high desserts and grasslands. But the drought in this area and cunning ability of the coyote has been devastating to the Golden's as they make a living off the same prey as these resourceful animals. Look at the intense concentration he has as he stalks a rabbit.
Thanks again for all the interest you have had and continue to have in my work. I really appreciate it.
Spoke with the director of CT Audubon and there is speculation that this bird is actually a Hybrid x Tricolored Heron Hybrid!
Florida Beauties -- According to the Pacific Horticulture Society, most speculation centers on India as the source of the earliest ancestors of today’s hibiscus. Nonetheless, it was in China that hibiscus were first cultivated extensively; many selections were discovered growing around temples and palaces there by European explorers and traders who brought hibiscus back to Europe.
a blizzard is an event. the day before, there’s great speculation and preparation; but the day of, there’s a lovely slow down—a sense of community, kindness, and play. yesterday we received a winter storm. in this image, i try to capture the event in context. there are many ways to view a snowstorm. this is the night view from the street outside my house.

There is some speculation as to why these former Go North East Mercedes are arriving at Go North West Manchester before refurb at Thorntons but for whatever reason a third arrived today in the shape of NK08MZV and I believe others are due shortly, repainted or not is the question for those. One thought is that they may arrive as they are to speed up the replacement of the remaining B7’s and will enter service minus the Crusader branding and with the appropriate Go North West vinyl’s, time will tell on that theory.
Wee hours of the morning on the Montreal Plateau, party animals (pure speculation on my part) roam the streets for yet another celebration, or maybe just try to recall in which direction is home.
Aux petites heures du matin sur le Plateau de Montréal les fêtards ( que de la speculation de ma part) recherchent encore une autre célébration, ou tout simplement essaient de se souvenir du chemin de retour.
This series is the second published part from the set "Landscapes from a farm park south Milan" and they are enclosed in my first personal expo i had in 9th of september 2010 to 19 with my friend Mirko Bozzato, graphic designer and photographer. The farm park of south Milan is a reality which Mirko and I appreciate it's the biggest green area of Milan: a beautiful reality that needs to be protected by building speculation.

There's a rainbow on your red bicycle
And I see it in your eyes
You wipe your wet nose with your icicle sleeves
And you fold it twice
Your eyes : In the middle of the road
Your eyes : It's the same story
You see they're drowning now
You see they've gone cold
You see they're drowning now
You see they hold enough dew
You fall from a stone and I kiss ripe lips
And I follow you home
You wipe tears away with your icicle sleeves
And you said goodbye
Your eyes : They're closing in the night
Your eyes : It's the same story
You see they're drowning now
You see they've gone cold
You see they're drowning now
You see they hold enough dew
I wonder if you are the same without me
I wonder if you are the same
You said they're all drowning now
You said I'll shout it out
You said I'll change their view
You said I'll shout it out
You said I'll change their view
You said I'll change their view

Speculation is rife about how a multi-ton boulder ended up on top of this granite outcrop.
Personally, I think that it is obvious - Gigantic alien beings from another galaxy picked it up like a pebble and placed it there. No other explanation makes sense!

Spotting for Mr Jokertrekker this evening (and vice versa) alerted me to DXB 5022 and straight-chuter DXC 5425 on 926 away relatively early from Dunedin.
After crossing 925 at Bushey, they're seen heading along the coast at the ridiculously early time of 8:35pm. In Oamaru by 9:15? Unheard of.
And yes, while half an hour earlier the skies were clear for 925, those annoying hill-hugging clouds are already accumulating and softening the specular glints.

The male eland use their horns during rutting season to wrestle and butt heads with rivals, while females use their horns to protect their young from predators. This one at some point lost one of its horns during a battle of force at Kwandwe.
Eland herds are accompanied by a loud clicking sound that has been subject to considerable speculation. It is believed that the weight of the animal causes the two halves of its hooves to splay apart, and the clicking is the result of the hoof snapping together when the animal raises its leg. The sound carries some distance from a herd, and may be a form of communication
Excédent is my new project that focuses on the spanish real estate crisis. Back in the 2000, a major speculation was trheatening the real estate market in Spain. We knew it would fall sometime. But 2008 crisis arrived and the whole market plumbed. Many constructions were secondary residences, mainly aimed at jubileed people, tourist, foreign and domestics. Meaning that many constructions are far from school, hospitals, or any economicly dynamic area that would provide for jobs. Therefore, many constructions are still abandonned, and won't be used for at least the next ten years.
In this project, I shot these remains, from the raw construction that barely started, to completed housing projects, fully equiped with kitchen, bathroom, where only the people lacks. It's a mix of aesthetics, beauty, sadness and waste.

After many weeks of speculation and waiting, the former Oxford Tube Vanhools have began arriving on Western soil, 50210 one of five tucked up in Kilmarnock depot this afternoon. Once fully prepared for service they will replace the remaining Neoplans.
After much speculation, one of the twenty five tri-axle Enviro500 double deckers with First Glasgow has arrived on loan at Aberdeen.
It will be trialled to see if these can be used successfully to replace the oldest of the artics.

This isn't the first time this beauty has been here, but to the best of my knowledge this is the first time it has been here alone sans its sister unit and train. And it is certainly likely that this is the last time PAR1 will ever be here. With Pan Am expected to disappear in the coming months assuming it is purchased as expected by CSXT the fate of the pair of FP9s and four car OCS is a point of much speculation. However, even in the absence of that pending change these units can not lead trains on MBTA territory any longer since PTC became active on the north side lines and Pan Am chose not to install ACSES in these units. Consequently, since the end of 2020 they have been restricted to leading only in New Hampshire and Maine, and anytime the OCS ventured west since the start of 2021 it has been led by properly equipped freight power. Given all that this may very well be the last time a Pan Am F unit graces the iron of Boston Engine Terminal, the strange modern incarnation of what was once the beating heart of PAR's predecessor the once mighty Boston and Maine.
Anyway, PAR1 was shipped down cold and dead from Waterville to Lawrence, and the Keolis/MBTA north side work train picked it up on Tuesday and brought it here to BET. It was parked overnight about 100 ft from my office in a very rare instance of something interesting happening on my otherwise decidedly unexciting railroad! On Wednesday morning the work train crew used F40PH-2C 1055 and wyed PAR1 so she'd be facing west for a trip out the old Boston and Albany to Worcester. She will be on display at the MBTA Worcester layover yard with some MBTA and Providence and Worcester equipment for a few hours on Thursday as part of the events associated with the New England Railroad Club's annual Railtech Conference: www.nerailroadclub.com/about-us/
So here is a shot of the crew coming in to the shop spur with 1055 to couple up to PAR1 so they can take her for a spin around the teminal.
PAR1 is a GMDD FP9A blt. Sep. 1954 as CN 6505 and passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 along with sister unit 6515 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains the pair would become PAR 1 and 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216.
Amazingly 1055 (EMD blt. Aug. 1987) could also now be considered noteworthy as one of only eight F40PH-2Cs remaining on the property, and one of only six in service. This particular unit is relegated to non revenue service only account its HEP doesn't work and eventually it too will head to Erie to be rebuilt into an F40PH-3C by Wabtec like its 36 siblings.

One Thousand Speculations
The world’s largest mirror ball
For the second time Luminato Festival will install Canadian artist Michel de Broin’s One Thousand Speculations, a 7.9 metre in diameter ball made up of 1,000 mirrors — the world’s largest mirror ball. Originally commissioned by Luminato for the 2013 Festival, this time it will not be suspended from a crane over David Pecaut Square but will hang inside the Hearn Generating Station. It is a meeting of superlatives. Turned on, it will transform the space into a futuristic spectacle, letting us dream about what could be. For Michel, the piece renders and recreates the starry sky. We will bring the starry sky inside the Hearn, reminding us that our sense of wonder is endless through inspiration. It will make us see the space of the Hearn in an ever-changing way and highlight detail after detail as the 1,000 rays slowly scan the space in circular motion.
The best works of art put you into a childish state of delight – anyone who sees One Thousand Speculations will feel like a child again. In 2013 this piece was dedicated to the memory of David Pecaut, one of our festival co-founders, and so we present it again in our 10th anniversary year in a completely different environment that will make you see the piece anew as you see everything that it touches anew.

A shot from this morning of the Resident Sandills, they seem to be growing so fast now and its only early June, I do feel blessed to follow these birds as they progress, its been three years in the same spot, don't know how many generations this includes, as some seem to appear the same year after year, thats just speculation I'm sure, but there is something special that keeps bringing them back.

Someone out there will know exactly when, where and how this happened, so I will avoid speculation, and sit back and await the facts ! It does look like it was the offside that took the main impact, though.
Oldham depot Fleetline 7198 had been withdrawn as far back as June 1984, from what I can see, but it was seven months later when I found it at the back of Charles Street yard - I guess that it was no longer needed for evidence purposes or internal inquiries, and was now awaiting its turn behind a wrecker.

With the internet awash with rumours that there was to be no flying through the Vouraikos Gorge this week, it was great to have five Greek F-16s through on Monday to dispel the speculation. Here 128 from 330 Mira "Thunder" based at New Anchialos unusually passes through from North to South.

The Art of Banksy Exhibition in London.
Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation.
Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls and bridges throughout the world.
Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall they were painted on.
A small number of Banksy's works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency created by Banksy named Pest Control.

El cerro Trinidad y el cerro Elefante son dos formidables montañas de granito que destacan en el Valle del rio Cochamo. Se ubican frente al sector de la La Junta en la confluencia de los Rios Cochamo y La Junta. Sus paredes de alrededor de 1000m que si bien no son las mayores del valle se han convertido en el símbolo de uno de los mejores lugares para escalada tipo "big wall" en la Patagonia.
El cerro Trinidad de forma piramidal tiene 1720 msnm. con una pared vertical de granito de poco mas de 900 mts. El cerro Elefante llamado asi por parecer un paquidermo recostado sobre el cerro Trinidad, del cual se puede distinguir facilmente su cabeza y trompa, tiene una altura de 1500 msnm con una pared vertical de granito de aproximadamente 400 mts. Por su parte la pared occidental del cerro Trinidad muestra una curiosa excavacion que parece una gigantesca huella humana que que ha dado origen a fantasiosas especulaciones.

The Trinidad and Elephant Hill are two formidable granite mountains that stand in the river valley Cochamo. In front of the confluence of the Rivers La Junta and Cochamo they are located. Its walls around 1000m despite they are not the largest in the Valley have become the symbol of one of the best places to climb "big wall" in Patagonia.
The Trinidad pyramid-shaped hill is 1720 meters height with a vertical granite wall just over 900 meters. Elephant Hill apparently named for a reclining elephant on the hill Trinidad it can easily distinguish the head and trunk has a height of 1500 m with a vertical granite wall 400 meters aprox. Meanwhile the western wall of Trinidad hill shows a curious gigantic excavation that looks like a human footprint that has given rise to fanciful speculations.

For a few years now the speculation has been that 'this will be the last year of Class 20 operation on the Yorkshire/Humberside RHTT circuit'. However like ageing rockers the old stagers keep coming back for a final encore.
The class 20's (built between 1957 and 1968) still cling on, the key to survival being their ability to traverse routes with weight restrictions such as the Hull to Scarborough line.
20305 and 20303 restart (with associated magnificent noise), after a brief pause for a crew change at Gilberdyke.
It will almost certainly be a last time for the Gilberdyke semaphores. After many delays it looks like the re-signalling is finally due to take place before the close of the year.

Being able to ride the Monorail directly to Magic Kingdom and Epcot is quite awesome. While there was speculation in the past about expanding to the other parks, I don't believe that will be happening, anytime soon at least. What is cool about the Epcot line of the Monorail is that it takes you inside the parks and over Futureworld before looping back around to the station. I always enjoy a good journey on the monorail, do you?

People spend most of the time speculation upon what has already happened and what will be in the future. Sometimes it even seems that there are only two time spaces – the past and the future. Now and today – do not exist. But please, don’t think that I’m trying to reproach people with their superfluous love to the past and selfless dreams about the future. I only want to pay attention to the fact how little we think about the present.
Every person perceives the world in his own way. Our experience and memories make us unique. Everyone has his own path and story to tell.
I have a wonderful thing in my hands. A pure relic! There is a photo of my friend’s family from 1904. Can you imagine? 110 years! It is not actually a photo. It is a daguerreotype. Daguerrotypy was created in 1839 by a painter Daguer. Until 1851 it was the only way of practical photography. The process of creating photos was quite complicated. I think you can find the information about it in the internet, if you are interested. I only add that the process included silver copper plate, mercury vapor and sodium thiosulfate.
The objects with history have always been inspiring me. Vintage objects have indescribable charm. They preserve the story. I have a collection of vintage clothing that I use in my photography. Thanks to my friends who supply me with these treasures.When I touch such things I always wonder who was the owner? What was he dreaming of? What is his story?
Vintage objects have unusual scent. I strongly believe that the time smells. It has that very scent that one of my cream vintage dresses possesses.
I believe that everyone has a talent. Everyone has something that can be shared to make this world more beautiful. Each of us has his own story and path. It is a great ability to be able to tell your story. I will try to share mine today.

For the entire human history there has been speculation about celestial beings visiting our planet. Some believed in benevolent godly entities resembling human form while other cultures depicted the entities as fiendish devils. Just for a moment, speculate that such alien entities might be in a form so different than us that they could be overlooked. Innocuously, they might slowly take over our world, unnoticed and ignored until it was too late to for us to respond . . .

There are quite a few great blue herons nesting at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. The heron on the left stands out from other herons because of the protuberances from his throat and jaw. There has been speculation among us photogs that he had his throat clawed and that caused the protuberance. Last year he was one of the last herons to find a nest. This year he was the only male I witnessed who staked out a nest, began building it, and then attracted a mate. His is not an easy lot and he has earned the nickname of "lonesome George."
This image was made last Tuesday. A heron from another island had flown over to try to cohabit with George's mate but George fought him off, returned to the nest, and had this "eye to eye" bonding moment with his mate.
Interestingly, I was there two days later when George made a trip from his nest to the nest of the attacker. Only the attacker's mate was in the nest, and George proceeded to have his way with her. Interesting behavior, interesting cause and effect.....
The monument has a circular plan and two ramps of stairs, on top of which are the three crosses and from where there is a magnificent panoramic view of Barcelona. There are two lower crosses and a higher one, that of Jesus; one of the crosses ends in the shape of an arrow. The orientation of the crosses indicates the four cardinal points and the one that ends in an arrow points to the sky, which causes speculation about its meaning. The crosses were destroyed in 1936, during the Civil War, and rebuilt in 1939.
