What a beautiful day this was while visiting my brother's ranch! It was my husband's birthday and 100% rain forecast for this day. And look what God gave us instead!

Bridges over the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Berwick-upon-Tweed, a town that was fought over between Scotland and England for some 400 years, changing hands several times before being taken by Richard Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) in 1482.
Berwick is closer to Edinburgh than it is to Newcastle and the population marginally tend to see themselves as rather more Scottish than English, helped by both rugby and football teams playing in Scottish leagues.
However, locally it is said that the majority call themselves Berwickers ahead of Scots or English.
The nearest bridge is the Old Berwick Bridge opened in 1624, behind which is the Royal Tweed Bridge of 1928, then the Royal Border Bridge, which has carried the railway across the river since 1850.

The parking lot was empty. The idea of bears in the area kept us singing loudly and laughing as we walked through the forest. When our group peeked out from the trees we were struck by a dazzling scene of glorious light hitting the tops of the larches that rimmed the lake. The grand, snow-dusted mountains reflected pristinely in the water. We quite literally gasped at the sight. What a thrill to see such astonishing beauty. Those who had been there before smiled knowingly, at our reaction. For them, it was as much a joy to see our response, as it was to take in the amazing view. An hour later, when the raindrops started to fall we had to tear ourselves away, oh so reluctantly. How fortunate we are to share together, in these magnificent, stumbled-upon moments.

A spectacular air show upon the arrival of the snow geese in Sacramento, California. Their annual migration dates back for thousands of years as they fly from as far as the Arctic along the Pacific Flyway to warmer places as far as Mexico. Sacramento, plays an important role for a stopover for these birds, to rest their exhausted wings and to feed on the rice field for a few days. I was lucky to be right the time and place to capture this intimate moment of their arrival.
It was a time for reflecting - going back to the ancient Inverfarigaig Forest. The last time I was there, the girl I was with was my girlfriend - this time she was my wife and we had our 2 children with us!
I peeled the sedum away from the trunk, revealing a central area of deadwood, called "shari" in the bonsai world. In juniper's it is looked upon as a favorable feature.

Upon learning that a trio of GP9s had been paired for one of the Hamilton sets, there was only one reasonable and logical thing to do. Wake up at 3am and drive to Hamilton for sunrise of course. When I arrived in Hammer town I was greeted by a group of friends who had driven overnight from even further away than I, who stayed the night at a rest stop. In these days, the 0700 worked the industrial sector of Hamilton called "the hole", and the 0800 just switched the yard on the weekend. When the 0700 job crew walked over to the less desirable GP38 duo (crazy to think that's undesirable) there was a unanimous "groan" from the crowd. The trio was not a guarantee, and it was a gamble that we all chose that looked like it wasn't going to pay off. We chased the duo into the hole to Bunge where they started switching food grade tank cars. While watching them switch we all came to the conclusion that to salvage the day, we would shoot mainline trains with the searchlights on the Dundas Sub. We were about to leave when we heard "0800 job CN 4116 looking to enter the hole". We all looked at each other with smiles and "hell yeahs". A few minutes later the 0800 crew passed the 0700 crew next to Bunge, and the morning chase of a somewhat rare 0800 hole morning commenced. Photographing two CN jobs in the hole at the same time is also a fairly rare occurrence. Moral of the story, stick it out. The line "so you're telling me there's a chance" from Dumb and Dumber is sometimes truthful. Later that afternoon we still ended up on the Dundas and got a nice SD75I leader on 271 at Paris. www.flickr.com/photos/130272127@N07/53344865097/in/photol...

Pulled up an image from a while ago - a secret fishing hole in Wyoming that the light hit just right that day.
With a little snow an cold weather - felt I needed a quick hit of summer to take the chill off my wintery March bones.

The Port of Liverpool Building reflected on the Building opposite.
I have wanted to take this shot for ages, but the lighting has never been that great, and there are usually Buses in the way, but yesterday the scene was perfect.

Snowflakes
“You and I fell in love
Much like quiescent snowflakes,
From surreal dusking skies.
Falling upon solitary streets,
And the heart of saddened nights.
Like snowflakes to winter's call
We too, ceded our souls;
To the inviting yearn to fall.
And everything around us,
Became something beautiful.”

And so Tuor beheld a vision of Gondolin, once so beautiful and fair, now broken and covered in red hot flames and thick black smoke.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
They told me not to build all of Gondolin, so I had to scale down and just do the King's Square, with the images of the two trees upon King Turgon's Tower, which fell and caused his own death.
Ecthelion also, of the Fountain, faces Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, with the spike upon his helmet. From the battle, Tuor the messenger of Ulmo, with his young child Eärendil, the hope of Elves and Men, just barely escapes. But that is for another time.
I’ve wanted to do a minifigure battle for so long. I felt like finally I had enough figs! I figured out I was wrong, but still, I did put a lot of figures into this… and that consumed more time than you would expect! And finally, this is the second full castle that I've ever made. Yes, it's the first full minifigure scale castle or keep that I've ever made! It was an immense endeavour, especially for just a couple weeks.
This is my entry to the Finale of MELO, which I am honoured to be able to compete in! I attempted to recreate each scene from a different book throughout the competition, thus this one is meant to be derived from the recent book, The Fall of Gondolin. I tried my best to make this version of the Palace of Gondolin resemble fair Tirion Upon Tuna, from the Undying Lands, as well as to capture the horrible moment of it's fearful betrayal and fall, while the last of the Greatest Noldor fought bravely and desperately to the last. I hope you like it! To God be all the Glory!

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It’s the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn’t have no internet
But man, I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
