The southbound Denali Star exits one of the most maintenance prone sections on the Alaska Railroad. The are just about to the location of the former Moody Tunnel daylighted in 2008 I believe.
Successful catch this Cormorant coming up with a Tench of about a pound in weight and swallowing it in the blink of an eye.
Brooding I do hope they are successful again......
The southern screamer (Chauna torquata) is a species of bird in family Anhimidae of the waterfowl order Anseriformes. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.
The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a small passerine, or perching bird, found throughout temperate Europe and into Asian Russia. Dunnocks have also been successfully introduced into New Zealand. It is by far the most widespread member of the accentor family, which otherwise consists of mountain species. Other common names of the dunnock include the hedge accentor, hedge sparrow, or hedge warbler.
A European robin-sized bird, the dunnock typically measures 13.5–14 cm (5.3–5.5 in) in length. It possesses a streaked back, somewhat resembling a small house sparrow. Like that species, the dunnock has a drab appearance which may have evolved to avoid predation. It is brownish underneath, and has a fine pointed bill. Adults have a grey head, and both sexes are similarly coloured.[9] Unlike any similar sized small brown bird, dunnocks exhibit frequent wing flicking, especially when engaged in territorial disputes or when competing for mating rights.
The main call of the dunnock is a shrill, persistent tseep along with a high trilling note, which betrays the bird's otherwise inconspicuous presence. The song is rapid, thin and tinkling, a sweet warble which can be confused with that of the Eurasian wren, but is shorter and weaker.
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.....
Have a wonderful, bright, successful, blissful and healthy New Year and beyond!

Doug Harrop Photography • July 1974
Santa Fe SD45 5586 has successfully reached the 3,777 ft. Summit of California's Cajon Pass. It appears Mr. Harrop may have been about to hear a word or two from the engineer.
DB 66124 snakes through Barnetby station on Monday 3rd August 2026. After capturing the GM locomotive passing Wrawby Junction signalbox, I successfully chased 4R49 all the way to Barnetby East signalbox with the drone. While the popular semaphore signals around the area disappeared in 2015 (where has 11 years gone since that very popular December day?!), the remaining signal boxes provide a reminder of many happy visits to the area in years gone past. (Photo taken with drone)

The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) is an example of a piscivore. This large bird hunts for its prey in both freshwater and saltwater. It waits patiently, standing on one leg in the shallow water, waiting for a fish to come into range. When it does, the Grey Heron quickly strikes, stabbing the fish with its strong, pointy beak!
These powerful beaks also come in handy when other animals are near; Grey Herons will eat small birds, amphibians, and small mammals that live near water. Scientists think Grey Herons are most successful at hunting at night, using moonlight to help them find food.
Grey Herons are unmistakeable: tall, with long legs, a long beak and grey, black and white feathering. They can stand with their neck stretched out, looking for food, or hunched down with their neck bent over their chest.
This beautiful Grey Heron was captured during a photography safari on an early morning game drive at the Hyena Dam in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Het beschilderen van het porselein is een secuur werk dat in één keer goed moet zijn ,
bij het kleinste foutje wordt het afgekeurd dat is dan voor eigen rekening,
met andere woorden als je drie borden op een dag goed doet krijg je daar naar uitbetaald ,
is er niet één product gelukt krijg je voor die dag ook geen geld ,
je maandloon hangt af van het afgeleverde werk wat je doet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Painting the porcelain is a precise work that must be done right in one go,
at the slightest mistake it is rejected that is then for own account,
in other words if you do three plates well in one day you will be paid out,
if not one product is successful, you will not get any money for that day either
your monthly wage depends on the work you do

Just up the shoreline from the Least Terns, this is a Forster's I think. On this May Gray day, the lone fisherman nailed one. I was a little slow finding the water exit (behind it), but I'm still pretty happy with the 2x on my little 300. It's actually lighter than my big 200-600 zoom by a few ounces, my new walkabout lens.
El Capitan is a vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park, on the north side of Yosemite Valley, near its western end. The granite monolith is about 3,000 feet from base to summit along its tallest face and is a world-famous location for big wall climbing, including the disciplines of aid climbing, free climbing, and more recently for free solo climbing.
The formation was named "El Capitan" by the Mariposa Battalion when they explored the valley in 1851. El Capitán ("the captain", "the chief") was taken to be a loose Spanish translation of the local Native American name for the cliff, “Tutokanula” or "Rock Chief" (the exact spelling of Tutokanula varies in different accounts as it is a phonetic transcription from the Miwok language).
The "Rock Chief" etymology is based on the written account of Mariposa Battalion doctor Lafayette Bunnell in his 1892 book.[5] Bunnell reports that Ahwahneechee Chief Tenaya explained to him, forty-one years earlier, in 1851, that the massive formation, called Tutokanula, could be translated as "Rock Chief" because the face of the cliff looks like a giant rock Chief. In Bunnell's account, however, he notes that this translation may be wrong, stating: “I am not etymologist enough to understand just how the word has been constructed… [If] I am found in error, I shall be most willing to acknowledge it, for few things appear more uncertain, or more difficult to obtain, than a complete understanding of the soul of an Indian language.”
An alternative etymology is that "Tutokanula" is Miwok for “Inchworm Rock”. Julia F. Parker, the preeminent Coast Miwok-Kashaya Pomo basket-weaver and Yosemite Museum cultural ambassador since 1960, explains that the name Tutokanula, or “Inchworm Rock”, originates in the Miwok creation story for the giant rock, a legend in which two bear cubs are improbably rescued by a humble inchworm. In the story, a mother bear and her two cubs are walking along the river. The mother forages for seeds and berries while the two cubs nap in the sun on a flat rock. While the cubs sleep, the rock grows and grows, above the trees and into the sky. The mother bear is unable to climb the rock to get to her cubs and she becomes afraid and asks for help. The fox, the mouse, the mountain lion, and every other animal tries to climb to the top of the giant rock but they each fail. Finally, the lowly little inchworm tries the climb and successfully makes it all the way to the top and rescues the cubs. All the animals are happy to see that the little inchworm has saved the two bear cubs and the rock is named in the inchworm's honor.
The “Inchworm Rock” version of the meaning of Tutokanula is also described in the story "Two Bear Cubs: A Miwok Legend from California's Yosemite Valley" by Robert D. San Souci and in the First People Miwok recounting of the El Cap legend.
The top of El Capitan can be reached by hiking out of Yosemite Valley on the trail next to Yosemite Falls, then proceeding west. For climbers, the challenge is to climb up the sheer granite face. There are many named climbing routes, all of them arduous, including Iron Hawk and Sea of Dreams.
While we didn't see many successful fisherman as the fish were late and the water was very high, there were still a few successes.
Conrail SD50s 6741 and 6787 rolled through Union Furnace with coal load UFY-842 on the Middle Division in 1994.
At the time, Conrail was a well-managed and successful railroad, which unfortunately led to its demise as NS and CSX gobbled it up in 1999.

Successful Patience...
The mice in my garden are looking if spring has already started.

On November 24, 1973 a US Navy airplane was forced to make an emergency landing and crashed on Sólheimasandur beach near Vik Iceland. Thankfully the landing was a success and everyone survived, but the plane was never salvaged and what's left of it remains at the crash site to this day.
It's a bit of a walk to get here in the winter (4.5 miles roundtrip), but I beat the storm clouds and enjoyed the exercise.
In the weird way that train roulette works out, the RF&P heritage unit is yet to lead a train on the RF&P. While I don't necessarily go crazily out of my way to photograph these units, I certainly will prioritize them when I am out. On President's Day, I had intended to focus my time in and around Richmond, getting shots of the ACL bridge, and filling in some gaps in locations, if you will. This empty coal drag was supposed to be just another empty coal drag running the Buckingham Branch (empties west) with the RF&P as the trailing unit. But the head end unit had issues, so the power set was swapped around in Fulton. All of a sudden, they were toning up with the 1836 in charge, and I scrambled to figure out where they were heading. As 2 of the trailing units had minimal fuel, it was unclear whether the Buckingham Branch would take them, as it's apparently their policy that CSX units have certain amounts of fuel on board. Unfortunately, their desk made the call to allow this train West. If they hadn't, this train would've run the RF&P. The lighting was spectacular in Beaver Dam, affording me the opportunity to get this roster shot at the depot. It's certainly a fine photo, but man, we were ONE dispatch decision away from the main event we've all been waiting for. Hopefully that day will come soon, and we can finally have the RF&P (we've had seemingly ever other one of these things) on home rails, and complete the circle.
A Kingfisher snapped last year in March. I wasn't quite set up for this shot hence the framing, but I still like it nonetheless. Hoping to get a few betters shots in a couple of weeks time!
This successful cheetah mother, Neema, (Acinonyx jubatus) has successfully raised three of her original litter of four cubs.
Having three young cubs to feed she has to hunt daily as the cubs are yet to begin hunting and still very young, to be left on their own.
Neema and her cubs on the prowl was captured during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
Here we have some shots of Stonechats. They seem to have had a successful year hereabouts because we're seeing plenty of young ones.
After successfully completing their northern patrol, 1st Lieutenant Dirk Allcock's troop is assigned the more challenging South Western sector, near the ill defined southern border. This area has a vastly different environment to the cooler North, here the pine forests give way to arid grasslands and desert. The locals are a mixture of races and cultures and the cavalrymen encounter many colourful characters. At a traditional southern house, the patrol are welcomed by the locals, who offer them a place to stay for the night. In the morning, they will continue to search for the bandit gang plaguing the area. Tonight; however, they can relax to the upbeat music and fiery food of offered by their hosts.
A lot of inspiration from Norton74's Mariachi wagon and Mexican house in this one!
