One month ago, the southern Africa section of the botanical garden was just beginning to come into bloom. It is still beautiful!
Restoration of 106 year old Leeds & Liverpool Canal wide boat George at Baltic Wharf Boatyard on the River Dart in Totnes.
Once restored she will return to the Leeds & Liverpool to travel between Liverpool and Leigh on events and school visits between May and October, and overwinter at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port.
Perhaps the building is less important than this tree at Ciudadela Park .....

It was nice to start the new year with quality time on the Sonoma coast, taking in this waterfall emptying into the ocean. There were just a few days of rain by then, and since then, there have been so many more storms and Atmospheric Rivers that have hit the California Coast.
On New Year's, the sun shone all day long, and the skies were a clear blue. The clouds and color during sunset were a pleasant surprise—many thanks to Bob Bowman Photography for inspiring me to take this picture.

this might not be an easy time
there's rivers to cross and hills to climb
some days we might fall apart
and some nights might feel cold and dark
when nobody wins afraid of losing
and the hard roads are the ones worth choosing
some day we'll look back and smile
and know it was worth every mile 💞
Yesterday was the 10th birthday of the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre, and one of the features of the day was restarting the Wirraway (made by one dedicated gentleman, from scraps of other Wirraways lying all over the countryside)
This morning we decided to through out the sofa, and burn it. We have been sleeping there since we moved in, but we are sure that something else also live in it. We hear how it prazzles, and something runs around in it..... not to mention all the residents we can´t see.......
We also cleaned up the mess, and the house feels a lot nicer to spend time in. We scrubbed the floors and walls, and cleaned all the windows. It was a hard job (it was really dirty), and we sat on the porch quite a while afterwards....... exhausted but happy. Stella started to talk about a bathroom....... well, I wish we had one. Probably that has to be priority one from now, but I need to find that leak first.
Another thing we discussed, was the hidden key we found hanging in the fireplace. Why was it hidden...... and why in the fireplace ? What was it for a key...... and where is the right lock for it ? Lots of questions, but no answers.
Tomorrow my brother come for a quick visit. Wonder what he thinks of this place......... this place which are going to be the crown of Stella´s and mine love story.
As we said : - " Don´t give it up. Let´s fight for hope and glory ! "
Good night...... sleep tight !

CN 4795 & CN 7054 are working hard as they start to pull with 59 cars for Taschereau Yard on a snowy morning.
Valley oak (Quercus lobata) at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge. If things go well, this new branch could be around 600 years in the future.

Trees crossing from summer to autumn, that moment when colors start to change on some trees faster.
It's the first sign of September, my favorite month.

► █░▓ EXCITING MOMENT! Finally, after a lot of digging, we have reached the first actual part of the find. It seems that the early humans had a fair use of plastic materials too!
My car's winter den revealed on Durmitor mountain. The hydraulics have given way to the pressure from above and the vehicle sank almost to the ground (its the lowest position). But everything remained unharmed actually. Only after half a year the car won't survive a typhoon without injuries.

CSXT Framingham based local L004 has been on duty more than three hours and is just now starting north. They are technically still inside the Framingham Yard limits as they trundle northbound on the Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU35.6. The entirety of the branch is designated as Other Than Main Track with this local operating at Restricted Speed but not exceeding 10 MPH the whole way making for an agonizingly long round trip.
The two ex Chessie GP40-2s are crossing the short deck girder bridge over the Foss Reservoir/Sudbury River with a big train of more than 30 cars. Have you ever driven the Mass Pike in the Framingham area and looked over your shoulder to the south and seen a grafitti covered bridge and wondered what train crosses it? Well now you know, because the eastbound lanes of I90 are just 100 or so ft to the left of the train. a
This trackage dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, then ultimately came into the fold of the New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell, was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into what otherwise was the exclusive domain of the Boston and Maine. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary which ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster a few years ago supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Nucor, and Bestway Lumber.
