With phase one of our SUCT2021 (Screw-U-Covid Tour 2021) in the books and safely home, it is time to reflect on all the blessings granted. Many that we hoped would happen occurred…many more happened that we didn’t see coming, as they often do.
When naming blessings, you have to be careful as it is much like that one-minute acceptance speech at the Hollywood award shows I no longer watch. Not enough emphasis on a certain blessing or mentioning it fourth when maybe it should have been second can make it seem unappreciated. Not mentioning it at all can make it seem unnoticed. A major difference in this case, we know that all thanks go to God!
Normally when my Jojo pauses, takes in a deep breath and says “John, I have to tell you something” it normally means that my fly is open or that she is about to share a worry that I do not share. However, when my bride hit me with this phrase the other day, she looked much more serious than normal. It was then that she sincerely blurted out the totally unexpected…she said…and I quote …” Thank you for making me go on vacation!” These words from a true homebody not only warmed my heart, but granted me permission, forever and ever, to plan more vacations. This is what I heard and it is a blessing!
I had hoped to be blessed with great times with friends, good weather & food (mostly on the food) and safe travels…and we certainly were. It was the animal behavior that I was presented with that caught me off guard! I was blessed almost daily with animals I have photographed before but this time doing things I have never seen nor photograph. Yesterday I downloaded 1068 photos, we will start with this one.
Taken on the morning of April 5th, I found myself on a sections of Ft Pickens beach watching Cormorants, Pelicans, Osprey and Eagles feasting on a very large school of fish. The osprey would often dive down, grab a fish and then for the next several minutes battle other osprey and eagles who were trying to take it away. The action was so fast and furious that I had to hand hold my camera and lens in the air, causing both nausea and severe arm fatigue after the first twenty minutes or so of action. Here is one of my favorites from that experience.
Adventure before dementia!
I've had bad wifi for two days, taken hours to upload this one shot. Don't you hate that!
We have seen many kangaroos (and other Australian wildlife) along our journey. Some kangaroos have jumped in front of our car, too close for comfort, probably seen thousands as roadkill. But this is the biggest single mob we have seen in one spot in of all places, the railway yard in Barcaldine in Central Western Queensland. They became quite wary of us as we got close as you can see - thank heavens for a zoom lens.
Rail workers - so very appropriate as Barcaldine (Bar-call-din) is the location of the Australian Workers Heritage Centre.
We even had a storm and rain over night and today. A massive coastal system is reaching far inland. The few shots in recent days are just a few tempters. When we reach home hopefully safely by the weekend I will start doing the largish series and the odd story that goes with them. Until then take care friends.
Ho già caricato altre foto dei Cavatori di Zolfo del Kawaijen ma ogni volta che rivedo le foto e ricordo gli odori e la fatica.....
Beh questo è un piccolissimo tributo.....
I was waiting for them to move this line for about a half hour so i could shoot the Bryer/Sinek/Phrite/Guilt reefer.
“Buzz off its smoko”
Worker bee working hard or hardly working..
You know when you’re walking around a toy store looking at all the lego you can’t afford and something grabs your attention. Well this happened with the lego mario bee outfit set #71393. I saw the bee hat and thought “yes, I need to build something with that” One afternoon later I ended up with this little guy.
In late 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic, Montana Rail Link wrapped their SD70ACe no. 4404 in this special scheme honoring Essential Workers. Unfortunately, after five years of service in and out of the tunnels of the line, the bold, patriotic look of the unit has acquired the same drab look of a stereotypical Southern Pacific unit.
Regardless of its appearance, when I heard that there was "an" MRL unit outside of the Topeka Shops, I ran out to photograph it, even if it was buried mid-consist. The fact that it was THIS MRL unit made it even better!
It may not look great anymore, but its cool to see these MRL units in my neighborhood, and I hope that the rumors of its PTC installation are true. That being said, lets not lose track of the message of this unit in that there were a lot of people back in 2020-21 who continued to go out each and every day doing yeoman's work to keep this world going, and good on 'em.

‘Sal de Tavira/Flor de Sal de Tavira’ are sea salts that have specific physical and chemical properties which differ from those of common salt. They are unrefined, unwashed and additive-free sea salts that give dishes a unique taste. They come from the salt pans located in the Ria Formosa National Park, Algarve.
the amazing strength of the sailors and workers who load and unload goods manually without the help of any equipment in the Sunda Kelapa Harbour.
I was lucky enough to stay on a tea plantation in Bengal, India for a few days. The photo opportunities were wonderful, but I found out later that while trying to shoot some very loud Hornbills, I was just the other side of a wire fence/bushes from a leopard who had attacked a goat, thus the warning noise from the birds!!

Workers in one of the leather tanneries in Fez, Morocco. In those days, I was too poor (and mean) to pay a tip to be taken to a higher vantage point which would have been so much more interesting.
I gather it’s quite a tourist attraction now.
