Anyone like to guess what this little bird is ???,just abit of fun.I do know as i have a pic of the parent feeding it lol,lets see who is good at IDs.
On hire from DRS and working in place of the New Measurement Train, class 68s 68005 and 68017 work the Derby to Derby via London Euston test train before returning to the RTC
The three tin foil bowls on the end of the lower arms indicate that this space vehicle has feet and is intended to land somewhere. This is reinforced by the fully-extended digger arm (surface sampler arm in NASA-speak) that today hangs even lower.
The Surveyor programme was run by NASA from June 1966 to January 1968, sending seven robotic spacecraft to the surface of the Moon. Seen above is a test article, a full-scale mock-up, which is now suspended from the ceiling in the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum on the Mall in Washington DC.
The programme's primary goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of soft landings on the Moon. The Surveyor craft were the first American spacecraft to achieve soft landing on an extraterrestrial body. The missions called for the craft to travel directly to the Moon on an impact trajectory, a journey that lasted 63-65 hours, and ended with a deceleration of just over three minutes to a soft landing.
The programme was implemented by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to prepare for the Apollo programme. JPL selected Hughes Aircraft to develop the spacecraft system which was launched into space aboard an Atlas-Centaur rocket. The total cost of the Surveyor programme was officially $469 million.
Five of the Surveyor craft successfully soft-landed on the moon, including the first one. The other two failed: Surveyor 2 crashed at high velocity after a failed mid-course correction, and Surveyor 4 was lost to contact (possibly exploding) 2.5 minutes before its scheduled touch-down.
All seven spacecraft are still on the Moon; none of the missions included returning them to Earth. Some parts of Surveyor 3 were returned to Earth by the crew of Apollo 12, which landed near it in 1969. The camera from this craft is also on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
There is no sense of scale in the picture, but the whole craft is 3m high and 3.5m wide. Its sisters weighed 283 kg as they landed on the moon.

Had a little test shoot with this young lady the other day and hopefully will be having another one soon…
But this will do for now…

No it’s not a Rorschach Test but it sort of reminded me of one!
Today was another glorious day on the water and the sunrise was a memorable one as well! This however, is the sunset from the last week’s journey to the bayou which was also quite spectacular! This is a shot taken looking due east toward Clear Lake City from just west of Bay Area Park! This is a wide part of the bayou that eventually turns into Mud Lake and heads toward Clear Lake close to Johnson’s Space Center!
We eventually reached about 72ºF today! It was a wonderful winter day! Bring on the spring!

There was a lot of wing action on the Bald Eagle nest, resulting in a very disappointing visit.
The fog was as heavy as I have seen in Tulsa.
So I decided to edit to the max with LR, Photoshop and my amateur ability.
Comments welcome!
Of course I realize this should be a delete image.
A weathered farmhouse sits under the milky way near Wasco, OR. It was eerie walking around the property in the pitch black over broken boards and wire. It was deadly silent, except for the occasional creaking sound of a nearby windmill being pushed by a light breeze..
This is just a test shot to check if my camera is working and if I've inserted film right. I think they retouched my photos in the photo lab which well, sucks.

ere are all of my hybrid tests from last night. ♥
Got the OE head off easily, since it sits on a double sided ball joint peg. The other heads are sticky-tacked, since I couldn’t work out anything else at the moment to hold them all on. Obviously some heads will need the neck hole widened so they sit lower.
I dig the owl one and the rabbit after all, but their necks would need to be modded. Easy fix~
The cyclops one was much cuter than I thought! Other Yosd sized heads (or 6-7 wig size heads) would probably fit well with this body, proportionately.)
My idea for getting the bjd heads to stay on seems strange, but it might work. The body’s neck has basically like a cup, that the ball joint sits in. So I thought maybe I could drill a hole in the bottom of the cup, and force down a knotted loop of elastic (glue it down in there maybe too?), that I could string through the head then s-hook that shit.
(also as a side note/bummer, when I removed the DD Alaqua head, her neck peg shoved inside her head, and now I can’t get it out, or the head back on. :/ Guess she’s due for a body upgrade sooner than I anticipated. WHOOPS!)

Some tests with bleaching I was doing last week.
I usually prefer doing it after precreasing but before collapsing the model (as the blue paper on the left). This time I also tried to bleach some completed models, as I had done with this.
I did it on some old ones, as I felt they did not look so interesting now, compared to the most recent ones.
Anyway, the bleaching solution was prepared for a sheet of blue Efalin paper, and it didn't turn out to be ideal for all 4 colors of Elephant-hide paper.
I will publish some results soon!
Another view of the Keolis/MBTA test train led by GP40MC 1117 in sparkling fresh paint from its recent overhaul at the MBTA's Wareham shop with four cars including two MBB cars still wrapped in CTRail imagery from their time leased for Hartford Line service. They are on the causeway that cuts across Terry Brook Pond at about MP FS 4.9 just north of the Copicut Road grade crossing, but alas it is too brushed in to see the water on either side of the train.
This route into the city of Fall River opened in 1846 and saw continuous passenger service under the auspices of the Fall River Railroad and then the Old Colony system until the latter was folded into the New Haven Railroad in 1893. The NH continued daily service to Boston until September 1958 when all passenger service ended to south of Middleboro including to the famed whaling port of New Bedford. In June of 1959 Middleboro lost service along with the other former Old Colony branches to Plymouth and Greenbush. Commuter service returned to Middleboro and Plymouth in 1997 and Geeenbush a decade later but the extension south had to wait.
Fortunately both lines were never fully abandoned, and remained active as freight only branch lines served by the New Haven and successors Penn Central, Conrail, and CSXT. In latter decades they saw no more than a lonely local freight two or three days a week and both the Fall River and New Bedford Secondary's track conditions deteriorate until speeds were limited to 10 mph on the two lines that were not even an afterthought in the vast CSXT system. In 2010 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts purchased the two routes totaling 38 miles from the Jacksonville based Class for $21 million as the first step in the long dreamt of plan for a passenger train revival. Concurrent with that deal CSXT turned around and sold its perpetual freight easement to Mass Coastal which since then has provided exclusive freight service on both lines, interchanging with CSXT at Cotley Junction in Taunton. For the past decade the MC dispatched and maintained the lines on behalf of the state while they remained 10 mph branches served a couple times a week.
Finally in 2020 the transformation of the lines began in earnest at a cost to exceed $1 billion and by mid 2023 track and station work was largely completed on the Fall River Secondary include a new Freetown station about 1/2 mile behind me here. The first week of August this year Keolis assumed dispatching responsibilities from Mass Coastal once the new CTC signal system was commissioned and PTC testing and crew qualification trips have been running daily as seen here.
