Edit>>December 1st 2018: - I have decided to pick this as best picture of year for me. Certainly not one of my more popular pictures. Not explored (I got more pictures explored this year than any previous year on Flickr). It is technically questionable for a couple of reasons. However still something I just really like about this one.
I have got into Honey bees on named flowers pictures last couple of years and have a very nerdy botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, after arriving at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) for their Steam in the Valley 21 Event and going on a journey behind Steam Locomotive "Henry Ellison" from Wirksworth Station on a train up the very steep 1 in 27 Ravenstor Incline, I went along the line to Duffield Station and back hauled by BR Std. 4 Tank 80080.
Here, Back at Wirksworth Station - after my second round trip and just before setting off to stay near Kings Lynn to go to the NNR on Sunday, I got my last photo of the "Steam in the Valley 21" Event and of the other main heritage line loco in use this day GWR 9466.
9466 was designed by Hawksworth as part of the "94xx Class" for the GWR which rather strangely was built at Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn Ltd at Darlington as a 0-6-0PT.

In the garden.
Gorse and dandelion are what my bees are on at present. I have 10 apple trees in flower in the garden and lots of crabapples in the hedges but hardly any bees visiting them. I also have a great bay leaf tree covered in flowers and thought it would be great for a bee on flower picture but the bees are just not interested - It is about 20 meters from the hives.
Most of my hives have dark bees but one strong hive has a lot of bees with orange bands so I am pretty sure this girl is from that hive.
I do have a lot of bee on dandelion pictures but this one may eventually go on my Honey bees on named flowers set

Blondie - In The Sun
The Wainwrights are the 214 fells (hills and mountains) described in A. Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells (1955–66). Over two million copies of the Pictorial Guides have been sold worldwide since their publication.
But not to me... I just went walking in the Lakes a lot and sort of did them all by chance. I had a friend, sadly passed away now, who was an obsessive ticker and list fanatic and I just went wherever I was told.
We got to all sorts of obscure places when he decided he felt the need to visit every single spot height and contour ring over 1,000 feet in the Lakes.... he did them all, I even still have his spreadsheet somewhere with all of them on if anyone fancies a challenge?
further picture...
it is in a pot on the patio - I have felt that I have got great value from this plant past couple of years but the honey bee is even more in love with it! Eagerly working for nectar.

Saw these three really cool Hot Wheels cars at Rick's Vintage Shop and Antique Market in Hernando a month ago and couldn't resist taking a photo to share on flickr one day :) Rick's is located in the old Love's Sports Café beside the Goodwill Bargain Barn, which you guys probably know better as the Home Appliance Store of Hernando-turned-temporary Kroger Hiring Center: the space's first permanent tenant in years, open as of early this year. As far as the merchandise goes, I really like this store; there's a whole lot of cool retail-related items! (On our most recent visit, we even saw one of the vendors had picked up and was offering for sale a painting – not retail related, mind you! – that we had donated to Goodwill just weeks before, which means they definitely have good taste ;P …and that we could've made a good chunk of change if we had had the means of selling it ourselves, haha!) For overall presentation and customer service, however, I prefer Commerce Street Market.
Anyway, that's not the point of this post! I'm uploading this to let you know that I've put up my first blog post of the summer, a table summarizing the Albertsons stores in Mississippi which was compiled by Albertsons Florida Blog. Please feel free to check it out here!
Lastly... if any of you are familiar with Blogger, and know how to embed a table or PDF, please leave a comment below to help me out! I tried posting the table to the blog first as HTML code, but the information stretched beyond the template formatting I've got in place. Then I attempted embedding it as a PDF, which I ultimately got to work out via OneDrive... until I realized that it would let everyone see my real name, which I don't want! I thought about just editing my name on OneDrive, but found that silly to do just for the sake of my blog. So at the very least, let me know if you can read the table; I want it to be clear and easy enough to understand, especially for the effort AFB (and I) put into it...
Oh, and yes, I did buy the Albertsons truck in the middle XD Stick around for another Albertsons-related photoset to kick off my summer 2017 uploads this weekend...!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, after arriving at Sheringham for their Steam Gala Event, I moved along to Weybourne where 564 Had shunted some carriages off to the sidings.
There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.
Locomotive 564 is a Worsdell designed and Stratford works built for the GER as Class Y14 - 0-6-0 which was later for the LNER numbered 7564 as a Class J15.

I posted a photo of my bicycle with a huge truck yesterday. This is the GPS image of that (20 mile) ride! My "Tour of Fayetteville".
I'm very glad I switched to using cellphone technology instead of bicycle computers. This image was very easy to create. I have also uploaded speed, cadence and heartrate data into a spreadsheet and produced line charts of them together.
Pretty cool stuff!

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, my last photo on this visit to ESR is of 46447 which has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a day rover ticket for and which I joined at Cranmore West station after visiting the Sheds.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, large Prairie 5199 is at Bishops Lydeard Station having just Powered the Steam Excursion return journey from Dunster that I have a ticket for.
5199 is a Collett designed GWR "Class 5101" 2-6-2T loco.
Good to get Train Rides behind 2 different Steam Locos.

A Photo from Day 7 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
A horrible wet day on the East Lancs Railway (ELR) where I went on a trip from Heywood to Rawtenstall and back.
Normally I would get out to see and photograph the run round at the far end of the line but it was so wet I just stayed in the carriage.
Here, at Heywood Station, after the trip, 60009 "Union of South Africa" needed a fill up of Water.
60009 is a Gresley designed and Doncaster Works built for the LNER A4 Pacific Streak Locomotive 4-6-2 for work on the East Coast Main Line (ECML).

I spent an enjoyable 15 minutes on Saturday chasing bees with the camera on a single but very striking clump of this herbaceous perennial in the walled garden at Rowallane.
A superb plant, and makes for a very summery look in April.

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, I am on a train hauled by GWR large Prairie 5199 passing 7822 "Foxcote Manor" while on the Steam Excursion return journey to Bishops Lydeard from Dunster.
7822 is a Collett designed GWR "Manor Class" 4-6-0 loco.

So very glad of the plant label!
At Rowallane gardens on Thursday
Clear view of the cream pollen loads.
a new entry for my Honey bees on named flowers set!
...And also for adding eventually to the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

Cream - I Feel Free
The challenge for Saturday 10th September is ‘numbers’. ‘Numbers’ is the name Apple gave to their spreadsheet app on iPads, and I did toy with the idea of using that in some way.
But then, as I started on these puzzles in my newspaper earlier this week, it struck me that with some luck, a following wind, and a pot of coffee, I might in a little while be looking at 162 numbers? (Or, if you prefer, looking at the numbers 1 - 9 eighteen times each?) If, that is, I didn’t get myself embrangled, as I frequently do!
>> I use the term ‘embrangled’ for when I’ve discovered I’ve put the same number down twice in the same row, column, or 3x3 box, and in correcting that error I’ve merely created another error elsewhere in the grid, and in correcting that one I’ve created another - well, you get the picture! So I give it up in disgust and turn to something useful, such as worming the cat (we don’t have a cat) or realising that the grass is beginning to grow again after the drought but that it’s now too wet to cut after the recent downpours! <<
I don’t usually complete the ‘Easy’ puzzle in my head, and I don’t even attempt it with the ‘Medium’ puzzle, and the scattered jottings you see around the lower grid are the merest hint of the usual mass of calculations covering most of the rest of the page! Anyway, I managed not to get myself embrangled this time … unless you spot any errors I’ve missed? A final word: working on these puzzles is, as I’m sure you realise, vital mental exercise to keep my ancient brain active … unless it’s a displacement activity for when I ought to be doing something more useful, as above!
== As always, your comments (and faves, should you be so inclined) are greatly appreciated! ==

A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Saturday of a 3 day Steam Gala,
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
There were 2 Visiting Engines and some of 5 of the Home Fleet Locomotives scheduled to run on an intensive timetable.
Here, on my first Steam Heritage Railway Visit of 2022, 52044 has been the motive power for the journey back down the valley to Keighley Station.
52044, is a Barton Wright and Aspinall designed and Bayer-Peacock built 0-6-0, originally for the L&Y as no 957, later renumbered 12044 for the LMS and 52044 for BR.
52044 was the locomotive used as "The Green Dragon" in the 1970 film "The Railway Children".

Laptop at the beach. I don't know what this lone occupant of the cluster of chairs was doing (spreadsheets?) but it was definitely an office with a view. The Beaches in Toronto on a quiet weekday morning.
