After the robbery everyone retired to the beach house where certain members of the gang had a little too much coffee & decided to dance on the breakfast bar.
Someone also ate a massive donut!
I can't say the same thing about the photographer, since I forgot to reset the shutter speed on my camera and had a lot of blurry shots! (I'm surprised I got any in focus). The Red-tailed hawk flew across the road in front of me and caught a mouse or vole. It proceeded to devour its prey in all its bloody goriness. Those of you who hate that kind of shot will be happy to know they all came out blurry. It took less than a minute for the prey to be devoured.
Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.
A successful candlelight photo, using 6 candles. Accomplished, yet so much to learn!

In a friend's office, each time that they have a successful business, they ring the bell as a way to motivate their team.
I wish it sounds many times this year for him and every of you too.

Along with over half a mile of town walls, Denbigh Castle is a classic fortress of Edwardian proportions. Edward I’s successful 13th-century campaign in the region was cemented by the creation of an English borough in Denbigh from 1282 onwards. He simply built on top of what was a traditional Welsh stronghold. In so doing, he made sure all traces of Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the previous unlucky incumbent, were removed for ever.
Henry de Lacy, one of the King’s loyal commanders, was given control of the area and had the task of building the new castle. He couldn’t go far wrong with the king’s master mason, James of St George, at his side. It wasn’t all plain sailing however. A Welsh rebellion, led by Madog ap Llywelyn, captured the partly-built castle in 1294 but Edward’s dominance and the castle-building programme were soon restored. You can see for yourself the two phases of building work. The post-rebellion work is marked by different colour stone, thicker curtain walls and a hint of Caernarfon-style angular towers.
Thank you for your lovely best wishes messages. I missed you!

A successful fighter of WW1, over 5,000 'Brisfits' were built.
Despite being a 2-seater, the Brisfit had the speed and manoeuvrability of a single seat fighter. The Lewis 0.303in machine gun, operated by the second crew member, is clearly visible in the picture.
An unusual design feature of the Bristol Fighter was the placement of the body of the aircraft midway between the two wings, instead of attached directly to the lower wing, as was usually the case with biplanes. This was intended to improve the field of fire for the observer.
The Shuttleworth Collection's Bristol F.2B Fighter was photographed at the Festival of Flight at Old Warden, June 2025.
After a successful day spent in the Iskar Gorge we took a night train from Sofia towards Povelyanovo.
When we arrived in Povelyanovo we hopped out of our sleeper coach towards the sitting coach which was now attached to our sleeper coach, after a stop of around 20 minutes the journey continued towards a little village named Valchi Dol, this is where we had planned our first photo of the day. When the train pulled into the station we had already opened the door as we had to run in order to catch the departure of our train. Though it seems like a short distance, it can be tricky, especially with suitcases, as the train departs almost immediately. Luckily, in our case the train had to wait for some elderly people to board the train.
At 07:52 AM BDZ 07 111 departs from Valchi Dol hauling the BV 2637 bound for Dobrich
Another shot from my 8th successful outing along the Batten Kill Railroad (out of 16 tries) during a gloomy day slow speed chase south from Salem to Eagle Bridge last fall.
Rumbling down historic home rails, Greenwich and Johnsonville 4116, a veteran ex Delaware and Hudson Alco RS3 (blt. Sep. 1952) is framed up looking east through the 1874 single span 107 ft Howe truss Rexleigh Covered Bridge spanning the Batten Kill. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places it is one of only 29 such covered bridges in New York State.
This location is about MP A128.7 on the BKRR's mainline, the one time D&H Washington Branch. The A prefix denotes Albany, and despite being less than 40 miles in a straight line, via rail it's nearly 129 miles north to Castleton, west to Whitehall, then south to Mechanicville and on to the state capital and the D&H's historic headquarters city.

A successful hunt...

Patience paid off for a great egret when it grabbed a fish and some salad from a marsh at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Ks.
Very pleased to have caught this Arctic Tern in flight with food for its young. Such stunning birds in flight.
Sacred Kingfisher with a very small fish from the Sandy Camp Road Wetlands. This went straight to its brood in a termite-mound nest nearby.

in San Francisco.
It had been before-Covid since I drove to/in the city. A challenge successfully navigated (with a friend as co-pilot)!
Successfully used in combat in the Battle of France, accounting for about a third of the AdLA victories.
Typically French, the throttles had to be modified to operate in the opposite direction to aircraft for the US and UK.....
Little burrowing owl got one of those juicy figeater beetles. Plucked it right outa the air. They're so good at this.
Have a wonderful, bright, successful, blissful and healthy New Year and beyond!

On Bank Holiday Monday, 5th August 1963, a momentous concert took place in a tatty, hastily-erected marquee on Abbotsfield Park, Urmston. The Beatles were reluctantly honouring a booking that was made before they broke big. They’d had a good time when they played the Urmston Show in 1962, met some nice people and enjoyed a couple of pints in the Bird In Hand, so they happily agreed to come back the following year. Things were a little different by then though – at the time of the second gig ‘Please Please Me’ was riding high, they were ready to release ‘She Loves You’ and they had made their final appearance at The Cavern two days before. It was clear their days of playing council functions in rundown suburbs were over. Brian Epstein had tried to wriggle out of the gig on safety grounds, citing the uncontrollable numbers the newly-famous Beatles could generate, but Urmston Council were having none of it. There was no way they were going to cancel their flagship festivities on the grounds they might be too successful.Extract from Paul Hanleys Leave The Capital.
