If there's one thing Paddy does well without any training it's present shredding! He can reduce a parcel to small shreads in about 30 seconds ... whether the contents happen to survive is another question. The joy, or perhaps seriousness he takes over it is quite heart warming .. and he reckons so also when he finds the hidden delight of an elusive bit of sauage. It's obviously hard work both mentally and physically as he actually ends up wild eyed and panting .. which means he needs a rest before a further installment ... cue the cup of coffee :) At the end of all this it's a vacumn cleaner job rather than a picking up the bits of paper .. they are so small!!
"Ohh dear girl so hopeless after so much training it should know better than to disobey, Mistress told You to clear this mess on Her desk last night, here we are gone 9 am and its still there, Mistress doesn't need to hear any lame excuses girl She will deal with you later now get it cleared away before she returns from Her meeting."
Flight Training.
It was fun watching Glossy Ibis encouraging their fledglings to fly at Ocean City, NJ. The parent would land close to the hungry chicks, but would move away before before feeding them, forcing them to follow and fly if they wanted to be fed.
After a successful flight and often rough landing the fledglings were rewarded with food as can be seen in the photograph at the top of the comment box.

If there is something I remember from my military training, it is these words. It has stayed with me, and I try to live by them in all situations. It has nothing to do with being lazy :-)
This is taken at about 1200 meter (3900 feet) above sea level, at a place called Oldeskaret. Mette, me and a friend of Mette walked from Stardalen in Jølster on this old mountain route between Sunnfjord and Nordfjord in the fjord area of western Norway. The startpoint is about 30 minutes drive from us.
This was a bright and wonderful day in late September. It was just a little above freezing down in the valley, but when we came up a few hundred meters, and into the sun, it became warm and lovely. And it was one of those rare days without wind. But it had been a little fresh snow a couple of days earlier.
I think I will split the photos from thiswalk into two, maybe three, postings. And as always, there are many more photos in the first comment.
The main photo is taken by my boss.
A cold and damp day for Little Athletics today and Daniel decided to call it quits after the first event (as did many others). That meant I got to see the juvenile Australian Hobby doing its flight training. It flew a few loops of about 150 metres, stopping on the tree for a rest, and some encouragement from Dad while Mum was busy on the nest. Captured in the rain under heavy cloud cover.
Ready for training. .it's going to be hot today 🏃🏃🏃..very hot ...but the company of two friends from my previous boxing team and the fantastic location will make us give our best...(could it be a prelude to my imminent return to my team ?? who knows)😉.....🇮🇹 pronti per l'allenamento. .farà caldo oggi 🏃🏃🏃...molto caldo...ma la compagnia di due amici della mio precedente Team di Boxe e la fantastica location ci faranno dare il massimo...(potrebbe essere questo un preludio al mio imminente ritorno al mio Team?? chi lo sa)😉
Kings Tor, Dartmoor National Park, Devon, UK
This Saturday morning I set off for the Four Winds car park with the plan of trying to get a sunrise shot with Great Mis Tor in the photo. I arrived at the car park a bit before Blue Hour was to start and listened to the raindrops hitting the roof gazing out into darkness. The forecast was for it to dry up soon so me being me I thought a few more mins in the car in the dry before getting togged up was a good choice.
Whilst trying to decide when to brave the elements suddenly half the population of Devon decided to pull into the same car park…..(Ok not half the population but you get my drift). Various minibusses, vans and cars arrived with a lot of car doors slamming and banter going on. I was later told that some of the groups entered into the ‘Ten Tors’ challenge were doing some training. It also later transpired that the residents of Devon had been feeling cooped up due to all the bad weather and decided this weekend was THE weekend to make up for that!
As I was donning my waterproofs the crowd headed off in the direction I was planning to go. I really don’t enjoy crowds and having to ‘fight’ to get a shot as people wander around and gather for a talk in-shot. Hence I decided I’d head in the opposite direction hoping I’d not step into a bog nor end up as the breakfast for a certain Hound famous in these parts.
A few hundred metres from the car park I came across various lumps of granite and in glancing around the following arrangement which caught my eye. The clouds that were in the sky were beating a retreat from the crowd too but I just managed to get one colouring up before it fled completely. The ground part of the image is focus-stacked but the sky is a single shot as the cloud was moving.
If anyone knows if there is a particular reason for the occasional vertical ‘granite needles’ around here I’d be very interested to learn.

Aero L-39 Albatros based in Blackpool, England here seen over my house low level at the Mach loop, Wales, UK
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer designed and produced by Aero Vodochody in the Czech Republic. In addition to performing basic and advanced pilot training, it has also flown combat missions in a light-attack role. Unusually, the aircraft never received a NATO reporting name.
The L-39 Albatros was designed during the 1960s as a successor to the Aero L-29 Delfín, an early jet-powered principal training aircraft. Performing its maiden flight on 4 November 1968, it became the first trainer aircraft in the world to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. Quantity production of the L-39 Albatros proceeded in 1971; one year later, it was formally recognized by the majority of the Warsaw Pact countries as their preferred primary trainer. Accordingly, thousands of L39s would be produced for various military customers in Eastern Europe. Additionally, it was exported to a range of countries across the world both as a trainer and a light-attack aircraft. Since the 1990s, it has also become popular among civilian operators. By the end of the century, in excess of 2,800 L-39s had served with over 30 air forces.
Remember Stu from the FB Live show a few days ago? This was the start of our adventure together in Antarctica when we built a kitchen out of ice blocks (like Minecraft!) on Day 1 of Survival Training. It was exhausting! We finally finished it around midnight (when this photo was taken and we started to cook some soup). via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
t was a morning painted in dull grays, the clouds weighed heavy over santa ponça, and the sea rolled lazily at the shore. on the damp sand, the ball danced—silent, precise, relentless. his eyes followed it like a hunter, locked in focus, every movement a story of dedication and rhythm. the air carried a chill, but his steps carved warmth into the day. it wasn’t just training; it was a conversation between the man and the ball. every leap, every balance, every touch was a defiance against the looming sky, a quiet declaration of persistence. this was his cathedral, the sand his field, and the game his prayer.
New Forest Donkeys
There are many different types of livestock put out to pasture in the New Forest including the famous New Forest ponies, pigs and cows. One of the more overlooked animals which can be found in the forest is the New Forest Donkey. Found throughout the Forest, only around 300 donkeys are turned out into the forest in comparison with the 3,000 New Forest ponies. Male donkeys (known as a ‘Jack’) and female donkeys (known as a ‘Jenny’) are all owned by the New Forest’s commoners, people who live here and have rights to let their animals graze the open forest - this tradition goes back many hundreds of years.
I am going to be a bit ON/OFF with Flickr this week as I am looking after my eldest grandson who is eight, whilst his parents are in the Greek Islands. As well as doing the school run, I need to deliver him to various after school clubs which include a piano lesson, swimming, dance and football training. It appears his clarinet is missing, he needs it for his school music lesson which is on Thursday, so I will make a special trip to my daughter’s house to collect it. If it is not there then it will be at a long stay car park at Gatwick airport! I also have to check his homework which needs to be handed in at the end of the week. I could not believe just how much 'stuff' came with him and for his feet alone; school shoes, black trainers, white trainers, football boots (studs), football boots (astro), tap shoes and crocs! I have also agreed that I would take him to the local playpark, cycling in the forest and that he can make a Biscoff cheesecake! Oh, and there is a school disco as well!

The Grob G 120TP is a two-seat turboprop training and aerobatic aircraft with a carbon composite airframe. It is based on the Grob G 120A training aircraft and has been developed for military and civil pilots training. It has a retractable tricycle landing gear and a low tailplane. The Royal Air Force Prefect T1 is replacing the Tutor T1 in the elementary flying training role with 57 Squadron at RAF College Cranwell.
RAF Prefect T1 ZM313 is seen taxiing towards the runway at Gloucestershire Airport at Staverton on 20th January 2022.
Before I disappear for a bit, (see my previous post why) I am leaving you with a machinima which I had fun making. It gives me a chance to introduce you to my new virtual Zooby puppy, Mudd. I named this puppy after a dalmatian puppy I had years ago. My avatar is very busy training it and is having a hard time preparing for Christmas and for her Ken (also, me, lol) to come home. I kind of rushed on this one but had a lot of fun making it:) I hope you enjoy. Btw, I made the closet in the video. It has lots of fun animations, including the singing that is shown. When I have time I'll put it on the marketplace.

we're just one step away from magic.
Hi everyone! so I want to start writing more about my day/personal life when I post. (as well as some info about the shoot) Today I had a pretty great day. I basically just wrote music/poetry all day. Then I went to the gym when I got home, for a meeting with a personal trainer. I'm going on a bike trip this summer from DC to Nags Head (over 360 miles) so I decided to join the gym to start training!
It's weird being there though... I don't quite fit in. I'm more of the free- spirited outdoorsy, indie (sorta?) biker type... not intense, focused, classy gym type- if you know what I mean.
anyway, then I went to the church to do a photo shoot! It was a ton of fun walking around all the empty hallways/rooms looking for places to shoot, I am hoping to do it quite a lot this summer!
I hope you all are doing well!
On my way to the garden centre this morning I got stuck behind this pony and trap. A sign on the back of the trap said 'PONY IN TRAINING'. It made for a great photo but I could hardly pull up and cause a traffic jam behind me while I took a photo. So I overtook and drove into the garden centre car park. As I got out of the car I heard the clip clop of the pony and just grabbed my phone in time to snap it passing. I couldn't have set up a prettier background - across the hedges to the roof tops of Brighton and down to the sea,

Back to civilian life! Last week was very eventful! Not because of the military training. It was because I have received 4 testimonials written by 4 flickrs friends. Wow!
I have not resume photographing yet hence, this was again pulled out from the archives. I am sorry that I don't have any more appropriate new photos that I can dedicate to them individually for the time being. Anyway, dear Flickrs' friends, please kindly visit the wonderful sites of these 4 wonderful friends who have continuously inspire me since I joined Flickr mid this year.
And not forgetting my dear friend from France who wrote the first testimonial for me.
Note: Thanks to Clare and Ebamo advice. We didn't know they will get hurt. We will take note of this from now on. Sorry to make you upset about this. Guess I choose the wrong picture this time!

An unusual photo of 383422 seen here at Brodské shortly after crossing over the Czechia/Slovakia border and heading towards Kuty.
383422 at Brodské is not particularly unusual in itself, more the type of train it is hauling. Metrans locos aren't very common hauling anything other than deep sea shipping containers*, but for some weeks 383422 has been hired to Retrack so has been regularly running with consists such as this. Two days later, 383422 was seen at Komarno in Hungary parked with other Metrans machines so it is possible this train was one of the last hired to Retrack.
*Metrans trains are operated in Slovenia by the state carrier and during the period of driver training, it was common to see the silver Vectrons on mixed freights.

Title from my old German language teacher from way back.. He used to say this to me all the time.. He was a character.. Please help if my spelling is wrong.. I never ended my german training.. It went sideways...
Not sure what i want with this image:p Just had to do something with all these exposures..
Its just some people at a ride in an amusement park outside Oslo (Tusenfryd).
I highlighted the guy in the middle there in Ligtroom. Added some contrast an turned it into mono.
Edit: Removed the highlightening of the screaming guy.. It was funny but it looked kind of fake I guess. Thanks to roscoeraz in the comments for pointing it out. I am not that kind of artist that doesnt listen to the audience:p The Dude abides - as the dude said..
Bosco reveling in having his toy outside of training.
It was an unbearably cold week so I'm still using my old camera. Hopefully, next week will be warmer.
A much photographed spot but why not one more pic right. Loved the misty day out training. It's been pretty wet recently which was great for these sort of shots but I must say that I really don't appreciate the leeches!

After we got off of Geonosis, my squad and I were put onto an outerim rock under Commander Wyx. Since I got my promotion to sergeant, He took me under his wing for some extra training. It turns out the other sergeants I saw on Geonosis were also here. CT-4732 Toz and CT-3490 Lanx. Toz was good with a standard blaster, but I quickly realized his squad was a bit loose under his lead. Lanx was a great shot with two short pistols, and had better leadership skills, but he lacked some critical thinking skills in combat situations. i quickly leaned that armed with two blasters, I was an amazing shot. My squad was also the best led. Because of this, Wyx let me have first crack at some upgrades, of which I got a pauldron, kama, visor, and some experimental new blasters. After a few weeks of training, however, he officially 'graduated' form advanced training, and were dismissed back to our squads.

Here it is guys! One quick note, I changed the commanders name from Wyn to Wyx. I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion... Anyway, I'll have more of these up now. Guym will have his next combat operation very soon.
Volvo B9TL Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini 2, number 350 (SN59 BHF) poses for the cameras at the
Gyle wearing the new World Clipper Yacht Race promotion for 'Edinburgh Inspiring Capital'.
Ian Craig, Managing Director of Lothian Buses, commented, “Lothian Buses is delighted to help promote Edinburgh’s entry in the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race. Being a keen yachtsman I am personally enjoying tracking our yacht Edinburgh Inspiring Capital on its incredible and exciting journey".
Launched in 1996, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the world’s longest ocean race covering 40,000 miles. This year’s race started in the United Kingdom on 31st of July and Edinburgh Inspiring Capital embarked on the fifth leg of the 15-race series from Geraldton, Western Australia to Tauranga, New Zealand.
Each yacht is sponsored by an international city, region or country and crewed by people from all walks of life such as taxi drivers, housewives and chief executives, many with little or no previous sailing experience prior to undertaking Clipper's intensive 32 days of training. It's amazing what
one learns and I discovered that fewer people have raced a yacht around the globe than have climbed Mount Everest.

The prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) is a medium-large sized falcon of western North America. It is about the size of a peregrine falcon or a crow, with an average length of 40 cm (16 in), wingspan of approximately 1 meter (40 in), and average weight of 720 g (1.6 lb). As in all falcons, females are noticeably bigger than males. Though a separate species from the peregrine, the prairie falcon is basically an arid environment adaptation of the early peregrine falcon lineage, able to subsist on less food than the peregrine,[2] and generally lighter in weight than a peregrine of similar wing span. Having evolved in a harsh desert environment with low prey density, the prairie falcon has developed into an aggressive and opportunistic hunter of a wide range of both mammal and bird prey.[3] It will regularly take prey from the size of sparrows to approximately its own weight, and occasionally much larger. It is the only larger falcon native only to North America. It is resident from southern Canada, through western United States, and into northern Mexico. The prairie falcon is popular as a falconry bird, where with proper training it is regarded as being as effective as the more well known peregrine falcon.

The Ghost Recon is perfectly silent and perfectly still. Can it be the incredible training?
It's probably because the poor fellow has been coated and sealed in metal. Bronze by the look of it.
It's not a challenge to be silent and still when you've been Han-Solo-Carbonited. Or Goldfingered.

The Canadair CT-133 Silver Star, a Canadian-built variant of the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, was a prominent jet trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) from the 1950s through the early 2000s. Canadair produced 656 of these aircraft under license, with the first flight in December 1952. Distinct from its American counterpart, the Canadian version was powered by a Rolls-Royce Nene 10 turbojet engine, delivering 5,100 pounds of thrust.
CANADIAN FLIGHT
The CT-133 served primarily as a trainer for fighter and interceptor pilots, renowned for its reliability and forgiving flight characteristics. Beyond training, it fulfilled roles in communication, target towing, and enemy simulation. Notably, during the 1960s, the CT-133 gained public recognition through the RCAF's "Red Knight" solo aerobatic displays.
The aircraft designated as PP616 is on static display at the Nanton Lancaster Society Air Museum in Nanton, Alberta, Canada. This museum, also known as the Bomber Command Museum of Canada, is dedicated to preserving and honoring Canada's aviation history, particularly focusing on bomber aircraft and the stories of those who served in Bomber Command during World War II.
While specific operational details about PP616 are limited, its presence at the museum contributes to the broader narrative of the CT-133's role in Canadian aviation history. The museum's collection offers visitors insights into the development and service of aircraft like the CT-133, highlighting their significance in training and operational roles within the RCAF.
I took the initiative to make PP616 "fly" again through artificial intelligence, which adds a dynamic dimension to its legacy, allowing enthusiasts and the public to experience the aircraft's historical significance in a modern context. I hope that it has not offended anybody.

I've started running again, partly because I want to shake it up a bit from cycling but also for cross-training.
It's cold here, so I've been gearing up appropriately and have finally found a happy medium for running gear (pictured).
Need better shoes though: the Nikes above are years old (though were barely used) and I like the Adidas cross trainers I've been using of late but I need some better support. I'll be looking into more traditional running brands like Asics, Mizuno and Brooks.

I made my first ever trip to the Mach Loop, it is possible to say that very enjoyable place...but just see a pair of "F-15E Strike Eagle" little bit disappointed! I can only say better than nothing.
A 48th Fighter Wing F-15E Strike Eagle maneuvers through the "Mach Loop" valleys in northern Wales. The 492nd and 494th Fighter Squadrons train regularly to ensure RAF Lakenheath brings unique air combat capabilities to the fight.
Low-level flying is a vital skill in a pilot’s armoury, with exercises like those performed in the Mach Loop forming an integral training program allowing the pilot to fully reach their potential while demonstrating the ease of flying and agility of aircraft such as Typhoon.
The Mach Loop is a series of valleys in west-central Wales used for military training. It's named after the town of Machynlleth, which is south of the loop.Aircraft regularly fly as low as 250 feet through the loop.At speeds over 450 knots.The steep walls of the Welsh valleys give photographers countless spots to get higher than the aircraft that are flying by.An area south of the loop, called the Tactical Training Area, allows aircraft to fly as low as 100 feet.This is an almost perfect spot for pilots to hone their low-level flying techniques, as well as the use of terrain-following radar.

Today we met Juanita the dog trainer, from an organisation recommended by the rescue centre we got Harbie from. They go down the route of positive training, as although it might take longer than stricter old school training, it has better, longer lasting effects. Similar to the ideas Sapphire gave us a few months ago, plenty of tiny good quality treats are needed, regularly use of the word "yes" immediately before giving him a reward. She will email my 'homework' to me, but it will involve a lot of "look at me!"s, which we try to do now. Good management and patience is required and I'll see her for a follow up walk in a couple of weeks time. She has a reactive dog herself, so understands what it's like.
This is another point Juanita made (for any of you who also have reactive dogs and explains a lot):
It can take upto 72 hours for our dogs levels of stress hormones to drop back down to normal levels after a stressful event, so even if something stressful happened yesterday that’s still going to be filling the stress bucket, making it more likely to overflow again with something that might normally seem insignificant. For example, your dog may be worried about strange dogs approaching them - while a lot of the time they can pass a dog on a walk fairly comfortably, there may be times when they’re much more reactive. This is often because your dog already has a build up of stress and this additional event is the one that’s causing their stress bucket to overflow. We’ve all had those days where one thing after another has gone wrong, and often it’s something really insignificant that causes us to completely over-react - the same is true for our dogs.
If your dog is displaying signs of anxiety like the behaviours listed above, the best way to help them in that moment is to take them out of the situation. Once they’ve reached that level of stress, they’re not in a state to learn effectively so at this point managing the situation is more important than attempting any training.
Abandoned Leper Colony of Arico
For those driving on the Autopista del Sur on the island of Tenerife, a huge cross can be spotted in the distance near the ocean. Those who venture closer will realize that the cross belongs to a skeleton of a church surrounded by decrepit buildings in an unnamed and abandoned village by the Atlantic Ocean.
An eerie and macabre vibe can be felt as the ghost town extends beyond the empty church, with structures where broken beds, bathrooms, and ceramic tiles mingle with trash and graffiti. The abandoned site was originally supposed to be a quarantine colony for lepers, built in the 1940s by Franco’s military to address the rising number of leprosy cases. The planned colony was to include a residential area, a church, a hospital, a school, and offices.
But the colony never hosted a single patient, as a cure was discovered before the site was finished. Though the military briefly used the site for training, it was eventually abandoned and slowly turned into a dream spot for graffiti artists and ravers.
After a long day of ropes and rescue training, it was good to sit back under the stars by a campfire. Pictured is a group of fellow Park Rangers and State Troopers gathered around a campfire at Fall Creek Falls State Park.
The Robin DR.300-140 is a French light aircraft, part of the popular DR.300 series designed for touring and training. It features a distinctive “cranked” wing design and is powered by a 140-horsepower engine, offering good performance and easy handling. Known for its comfortable cabin and excellent visibility, the DR.300-140 remains a favourite among private pilots and aero clubs.

Bethesda, Ton Pentre, was one of the great bastions of non-conformity in the Rhondda Valley at the turn of the century but the congregation dwindled as the Rhondda lost its Welsh language culture and it closed in 1988
As I said in my previous post my grandfather managed to escape the pits after the first world war, after being accepted for ministry training. It was Bethesda that sponsored him for this.
This magnificent building is in a sad state of disrepair now.
"It was hot, it was sandy, chaotic. Nothing at all like the simulations on Kamino. Of course that's pretty much the way it was for all of us, wasn't it? All that breeding, all those years of training... it doesn't really prepare you for all the screaming or the blood, does it? Frankly I'm still amazed we ever made it through the first hour, never-mind the first day."

Excerpt from the plaque:
The North American Yale – The Yale, also named after a university, was originally designed and built under contract for the French Air Force as a development of the BT-9/14 basic trainer. The fixed undercarriage and less powerful engine were two of the Yale’s distinctive modifications from the AT-6 Texan. The Yale entered Canada for use in the BCATP (British Commonwealth Air Training Plan) after France surrendered in May 1940. Although the RCAF accepted this aeroplane, the differences between the Yale and the Harvard created such severe safety problems that the Yale was relegated to the role of wireless trainer in 1943, after a series of accidents.
The CWH Yale was used at the SFTS (Service Flying Training School) at Camp Borden in 1940, prior to the aircraft’s conversion to wireless training. It finished the war at Aylmer, Ontario, and was sold as a war surplus to a scrap dealer in the Tillsonburg area, where it sat derelict until the early 1970s. The Yale was obtained by a CWH member and donated to the Museum. It now wears its original RCAF colours and unit markings.
