Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Once all the group had managed to make it safely up Buckshot Lake Road a wee bit where they managed to head into the trees to stay out of the falling snow and wind, the "traffic cop" did a "hop skip and a jump"
up the hill no doubt celebrating a successful traffic monitoring for all those under it's watchful eye.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr!
Time for a little brag. I was awarded a Fellowship at the Societies Convention in London yesterday for this panel. Fellowship of Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers.
After struggling up the Acton grade, CN L53331-28 passes through Guelph where Metrolinx is currently rebuilding the second track. 2296, 8864, 5775 lead this 123 car train.
After successfully capturing a fish, nicely tucked away under the tail feathers, this mature bald eagle flies by on its way to a branch for a feast. In the animal kingdom the eagle eye is among the strongest, able to spot a rabbit at just over 3 km. It looks like the eagle is blinking in this photo.

Terri and I had a successful wildlife tour in Yellowstone NP today. We never thought we’d be lucky enough to run into a wolf pack on today’s journey, but we did. I will be posting many more of the pack coming down the hillside, but this juvenile was the best I could do as he crossed in front of me to get over the snowy road. #yellowstonenp #greywolf #wolvesinyellowstone
This series of photos will include some of the flowers.....
Geology and climate are important contributing to the successful establishment of plants within the park. Deep deposits of volcanic ash combined with even rainfall, mild winters and warm summer temperatures are conducive to plant growth for a range of species from around the world. With this variety of plant types Pukekura is unique in offering a diverse range of landscapes from dense remnant tawa/mahoe/pukatea forest to broad lawns with annual bedding displays and themed garden plantings.
This mature bald eagle has just successfully grabbed a fish out of the Susquehanna river (note the tail fins rising behind the body) with its right claw and will be on its way to a private lunch. It was not challenged for the fish like some eagles were. I love the column of water behind it still rising where the eagle had snatched the fish from the water.

You can see the way the flake has broken off on this piece in a kind of cone shape, following the shock wave applied to the rock.
That's a hard hammer in John's hand. Those are generally pebbles. Soft hammers are made of bone.
My flint knapping photos were taken on a day course with John and Val Lord. They have a website here:
John has also written a book that's very useful as a beginner:
www.flintknapping.co.uk/shop.html
And John's son Will is also an expert in flint knapping and excellent teacher. He also runs courses, and will teach hide working, prehistoric jewellery making, bow-making and so forth as well.

In the heavy wooden door of the Heidelberg Castle you will find a smaller gate with a thick ring made of iron. They used to use that gate for single visitors or emissaries in times of war when they did not want to open the big wooden door. Today you can see a dent on the thick ring of the gate which they have used for knocking. This dent is the so called “Witch’s Bite”. The old Heidelberg Legend of the Witch’s Bite relates that once the Electoral Prince, who was in a dying condition, worried about a successor because he has not left any descendants behind. So he promised the transfer of power to the one who would bite through the thick iron ring. The Electoral Prince thought anyone who would be strong enough to bite through an iron ring would be also strong enough to be a ruler. Many noble and brave men tried their luck but they failed because of broken teeth. Not only men did desire the power. There was a witch who had a try at biting through the ring. As she was almost successful in doing it she fortunately also lost her teeth at the critical moment . The iron ring remained entirely and there was just a dent left thanks to which today they use the term “witch’s bite”.
Bonobo female named "Lorett", born January 22, 1974. The bonobo (Pan paniscus) are one of the four great apes and are considered by many to be the most intelligent (next to man). The San Diego Zoo has successfully bred bonobos since 1960 and funds conservation efforts for them in Central Africa. Conservation Status: Endangered
Successfully avoiding the sun, 50008 Thunderer passes Burn heading 5Z19, the 11.52 Gascoigne Wood Sidings - Chaddesden Sidings empty stock for the next days special from Derby to Paignton. Friday 13 January 2023.
I could only locate this Scaly-breasted Lorikeet in the tree from which it was collecting fruit, by the rattling of the leaves. Somewhat successful as it framed itself with its lunch.
On this, the 8th day of our successful 16-day trek to the K2 North Base Camp and the North Gasherbrum Glacier in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, we trekked some 18 km (11.2 mi.) up the Shaksgam River from the campsite I called Junction Camp (elevation 3,840 m, 12,598 ft.) to the camp I called Quinghongtan North (elevation 3,968 m, 13,018 ft.), where we camped for the night. During the day we mounted the loads on our camels on three occasions to cross channels of the Shaksgam. Here our party treks up the Shaksgam. This view looks east-southeast from 12.6 km (7.8 mi.) east of Junction Camp (15 km, 9.3 mi. by river). The unnamed, angular peak at right rises to 6,384 m, 20,495 ft. some 21 km (13 mi.) away. The peak at left rises to 6,200 m (20,341 ft.) 11.6 km distant. Both peaks lie on the watershed between the Shaksgam and Zug Shaksgam Rivers. We camped at the greenery at the foot of the slope at right (Quinghongtan South) on the third day of our trek en route to the K2 North Base Camp.
In the wide-open marshes of central Florida, this broad-winged bird glides slowly and low over the sawgrass. It has no need for fast flight, because it seeks only snails -- and only one particular sort, the apple snail. This snail is strongly affected by water levels, and drainage of wetlands has hurt populations of both the snail and the kite. The Florida race of this bird, formerly called Everglades Kite, is now endangered. How ever in this particular spot there were about 7-8 active nests, and the Adults were working on building more of them. Unfortunately a lot of these nests have not been successful in past years due to the local rat snake population.

Fun to watch this guy go about its business for about an hour. This dipper was pretty successful and pulled a number of insect larvae out of the lake, including this one. It would thrash the larvae about until the protective dark coat came off, then gobble down the juicy larvae whole!
Tyrone Wright (aka Rone) is one of Australia’s best known and most successful street artists. His new exhibition, “Time”, includes 12 installations inside one of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings, the Flinders St railway station.
The building has been empty for some time, and Rone has transformed a forgotten wing, including the magnificent ballroom into an amazing exhibition taking visitors back to post-World War II Melbourne.
The building used to be used for many different purposes, classrooms, offices, industry and these and much more are remembered in the exhibition.
The exhibition employed a core team of 5-10 people, with up to 120 Victorian creatives and professionals working on the project. Rone has worked on the project for three years. Callum Preston was set builder director and Carly Spooner the set decorator.
Of course the installations are adorned with Rone’s world famous ethereal portraits of his muse, model Teresa Oman, and these combine with meticulous details in the sets, along with the ambience created by original music that makes this a magnificent experience.
I visited for the second time on Monday so there will be a few more photos over the next week.
This is a close-up from the arch in The Ballroom.
“Time” is on show until April 23, 2023, more information can be found here rone.art
You may notice that this green iguana is not in fact green! She came to The Living Rainforest after being a pet for a number of years. It is common in the pet trade to selectively breed individuals with more desirable traits, and artificially create different colour morphs. This can cause issues within the captive population of the species, as it often involves in-breeding.
The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico, and has been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and is very common throughout the island, where it is colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the tree") and considered an invasive species; in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Green iguanas have also successfully colonised the island of Anguilla, arriving on the island in 1995 after rafting across the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, where they were introduced.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation (the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations) as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 m in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m with bodyweights upward of 9.1 kg.
This animal is a resident of The Living Rainforest which is an indoor greenhouse tropical rainforest that is located in Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire, England. It is an ecological centre, educational centre and visitor attraction consisting of three glasshouses, operated and run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. The glasshouses are named Amazonica, Lowlands and Small Islands respectively.
The Living Rainforest has been accredited by the Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom and awarded the LOtC Quality Badge. Each year around 25,000 children visit the Living Rainforest as part of their school's curriculum. It is open 7-days a week from 09:30 to 16:00.

History:
Third synthetic life form and carrier of the Reality Engine. Like her three siblings, Paragon was built by the Predecessors to find and retrieve the Fountain of Life from its inter-dimensional hiding place. Unlike her siblings, though, Paragon was successful in contacting the artifact. Not much is known about what happened when Paragon contacted the fountain, but when she returned from her journey she turned on her creators. With newfound knowledge of the origins and inner workings of the universe, Paragon acted as an angel of protection for her home planet, using her Reality Engine to defend it from natural disasters and malevolent forces.
Personality:
Paragon is a confident and brave individual. She sees it as her duty to defend her home planet, and she appreciates every chance she gets to learn more about the people who inhabit it. While she isn't the best at interacting with people, she lets her actions show her care for others.
Abilities:
Paragon carries the Reality Engine, a dimensional generator. The engine allows Paragon to create a region in which she has god-like control over reality. When using her engine in an affected region, Paragon can move objects with her mind, manipulate gravity, control air pressure and temperature, and more. Overuse of her engine will tire Paragon, forcing her to rest between uses. Paragon carries A broadsword, a buckler, and four remotely controlled wing blades. When her Reality Engine is active, Paragon can combine her tools to form Enki, the Reality Blade. Paragon can move this giant sword at will only in regions affected by her engine, but even with such a limitation, the sword's raw destructive power cannot be denied.
Build notes:
Well, it only took 4 years to build her. I've been wanting to do this concept since I first built Avalon. While the build isn't too innovative (I reused a lot of Svella's design) it does refine several of the concepts used in Svella. Oh yeah, and the mask is painted! This my first attempt at a painted mask, so it is a tad messy, but I'm happy with it!
The decor and ambience of this pizza parlour and bar suggest a successful and thriving business, but unfortunately a couple of months later this establishment closed
first successful shot with the lomo tunnelvision lens. its a tricky one but it could just prove fun...
Former South Railway Schools class 4-4-0 No. 925 ‘Cheltenham’ eases into Ropley station during Mid Hants Railway’s Autumn Steam Gala on the Watercress Line.
The SR Schools class were a very successful design and were built to haul heavy passenger traffic. Although relatively compact, the Schools class were not short on power; they were the most powerful 4-4-0 design ever produced in Europe. Classified 5P by British Railways, they were capable of hauling 400-ton express trains.

The Moniko pride are undoubtably the most successful pride in the Conservancy. The main lion attraction and a formidable pride who have successfully raised many cubs over the seasons. The latest count for this pride is eighteen with seven cubs, spread around their territory which sits in the very heart of the Conservancy. Two dominant males – Baranoti and Lolpopit – roam between the girls keeping the pride intact and ensuring the next generations.
Whilst they do have competition from the Enkoyonai Pride, the strength of the Monikos means that they area able to keep the prime southern area of the Olare Orok Conservancy as their core territory.
This is one of the son's of either late Olorpapit (named for the tear in his ear) and Olbarnoti (Maa for the hairy one) who were the pride males until recently when Olorpapit passed away from old age.
This shot of the king of the jungle was captured during my recent visit to Masai Mara,Oct 2020 during our morning safari drive we came across him and the rest of the pride ,basking in the morning sunshine......

On our trip from Jo'burg to Cape Town we met another pair of lion brothers in Addo Elephant National Park. Like their brethren in the Kruger, these two had just been successful in bringing down a kudu bull and were busy devouring it. This guy probably took some time off to digest while his brother, whose head we occasionally saw pop out from the undergrowth, at one point with the kudu's neck between his fangs, kept munching away on their kill.
