A very thriving Attenborough Nature Reserve (set in the borough of Broxtowe, Nottingham, United Kingdom). Owned by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust it's a popular venue for birdwatchers, families and photographers alike.
This bevy of swans showed no fear of humans and they were eager to entertain and be entertained. I love the 'S' of the swan’s neck and how his profile frames the left side of the shot and that the other two prominent swans plus the sunburst and lens-flare all direct the eye to him. Though it was a cold late afternoon the warmth of the sun on one’s skin was equal to the warmth that it gives this image.

Third instalment of the series. Fallen trees are often difficult to ignore when looking for images in woodland but getting a decent image not so easy. The conditions being what they were did help to give me something I thought worthwhile sharing this time.
Great Coxwell village is the sole surviving part of a thriving 13th-century grange that once provided vital income to Beaulieu Abbey
Ezekiel 17:9 “Say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting shoots wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.”’”

I stood on the road side for a long time imagining what this was like when it was busy with people. This whole area is so full of history, like the old coal mine nearby where there was an explosion that killed several people.
A week on now and this young one (of three - all doing well) is thriving and showing the first signs of that unique mask.
In the 1990s, Amtrak had a fleet of EMD F40PH locomotives that were in need of a replacement. Amtrak partnered with General Electric to make the "Genesis" series of locomotives, however due to delays Amtrak needed a fleet of new locomotives to be put in service while the new P40DC (later P42DC) locomotives were being built. This is when GE turned to their previously made B32-8 and modified it with passenger specs and a wide cab to make the P32-8BWH.
Being delivered and entering service in 1991, these dash 8s found themselves running on everything alongside the soon to be retired F40PHs. These new units were famously nicknamed "Pepsi Can" as the paint scheme applied to these did somewhat resemble a can of Pepsi. Of the 20 that were delivered two would get sold off to Caltrans, and these would become CDTX 2051 and 2052, which quickly became very famous. Around the turn of the century, the dash 8s would find themselves being painted into the Phase IV paint, and by this point worked mostly alongside the Genesis series with the last F40PHs being retired around 2002. However, it wouldn't take long before Phase IV was phased out, and by 2016 Amtrak 515, the last Phase IV, would head to Beech Grove, IN to get the Phase V paint.
The delivery of the Genesis locomotives marked the point where the dash 8s would be seen on just about anything. Unlike the dash 8s, the P40DCs and P42DCs were designed basically only for mainline running as these had a cowl body, this made the dash 8s a universal unit as these don't have a cowl body which made them more preferable for switching while also still being good for running trains. Eventually, this would find the dash 8s being stuck as switchers and on MOW work, although sometimes still being put on the mainline. On top of this, Amtrak California's two dash 8s would be retired from mainline service in 2018, with 2052 being completely dead and 2051 becoming the Oakland yard switcher where it still runs today.
In 2016, a new competitor who in recent years prior had pushed into the U.S. locomotive market, rolled out something that threatened the career of the fleet of now all P42DCs. Siemens had released the SC-44, known as "Chargers," which were built to takeover regional routes such as the Cascades, Midwest services, and Surfliner. This would immediately lead to the retirement of the majority of Amtrak's F59PHIs, removed the need of P42s on these services, and other railroads that bought chargers would phase out their older power. This would prove to be a bad decision for these railroads as the units have several design flaws that caused them to break down a lot. Despite this, in 2021 the first ALC-42, the long distance version of the SC-44, was delivered to Amtrak. Both variants experience similar problems, with the first runs of the ALC-42 in service being plagued with problems. Very quickly, this would become so bad it caused the dash 8s to see a massive reappearance on trains and Class I leaders became more common than ever as breakdowns became that common, especially in the winter. It also didn't help that the P42s were old and therefore had been racking up many miles, causing them to occasionally break as well. Despite that, even though the chargers were supposed to replace the aging GEs, so far it has become quite the opposite situation, with trains such as the Coast Starlight and Empire Builder seeing these P42s constantly, even though Amtrak had ALCs fully take over these trains quite some time ago.
Seen in this photo is a perfect example of that. Early morning on UP's Black Butte Subdivision sees Amtrak 14, the northbound Coast Starlight, making its way to Seattle. This day there were no chargers in sight, just a dash 8 and a P42. Due to breakdowns, Amtrak 160 was the only unit ready to take the train, but it needed a second motor so Amtrak 510 left its usual duties switching and occasionally running commuters out of LA to take this. Notably, 160 is one of Amtrak's heritage painted motors, painted in the dash 8s iconic "Pepsi Can" scheme. Unfortunately, once this power set returns to LA tomorrow, it appears that 510 is going straight back to its usual routine.
Chilean Flamingos thrive in seemingly inhospitable environments and are well-adapted to high altitudes and cold climates.
Judging from how many successful fishing episodes this one-eyed eagle had, it’s likely she was feeding young. An eagle blind in her right eye, presumably this one, has been reported for a number of years at Conowingo Dam. I’m guessing she is a year-round resident with a nest nearby.
Another from my recent visit to Brighton. The old west pier is again in evidence and further away you can just about see the 'new' Brighton Palace pier, built in 1899 and still open and thriving today.

Autumn is soon coming. The two floral photos that I am posting today show how different flowers react to that situation.

Ham Wall and Shapwick are adjacent nature reserves on the Avalon Marshes of the Somerset Levels. Together they make a great birdwatching site at any time of year, but especially in winter when they are the setting for a spectacular Starling murmuration.
This winter an estimated half a million Starlings may be seen in the air at dawn and dusk, often swirling around in tight balls.
Both reserves were created from old peat workings. Ham Wall is now a mature and thriving wetland comprising of extensive
reedbeds and open water, grassland and woodland. Shapwick consists of open water fringed with reedbeds, wide ditches, fens, damp woodland and wildflower meadows.
Gunner, the colt who was orphaned at nine days old is thriving. The surrogate mother they brought in for him, refused him, so he's been hand fed formula, until recently.

This is what happens to chives (Allium schoenoprasum) if you let them do their thing. How nice that there is a common garden plant you can either sew and pick early for food, or instead let grow and then admire its beauty.

Thos palm suffered greatly over winter when our SC overnight temp had a sudden drop to 12°. I had wondered if it would survive, since all of the fronds were turned brown. It not only survived the unusual cold, but has thrived.
Really enjoyed spending time in Namibia exploring the desert and the Skeleton Coast. My first time in Africa..and I hope to be back next year.
