Who inspects the inspectors?
Thankyou to The Hotel Inspector for his inspiration and glowing review.

Despite the footbridge just east of Lewes station being caged, some nice views are still possible from either end on the steps.
I framed this one to include the old lichen-roofed signal box while capturing one of the most characterful station buildings in the UK - the latter a consequence of the extremely sharp junction and platforms that curve well away from one another within a very short distance.
The grandiose building is not as old as you might expect - the original station was closed and relocated to this site as a consequence of having to accommodate new routes and becoming no longer operationally convenient. This incarnation dates back to 1889.
In this shot, Southern's 12.54pm London Victoria - Ore (1F28) departs from platform 1 in the hands of Derby Litchurch Lane-built class 377 'Electrostar', unit 377155. The train will reverse at Eastbourne, before continuing on to Hastings and Ore.

I believe the Bluebirds will take this particular box like last year, while the Tree Swallows will take the other.
Thanks for Viewing.
Yellow-rumped Thornbill (Acanthiza chrysorrhoa)
Lot of these around Sneydes Rd. Occasionally one will sit in the open for a few seconds.
I remember that day very well. I was out in the field with several pro birders - something that happens very rarely. And the day was bright, but quite windy.
For the weavers, sudden gusts of wind disturbed these hanging nests and some of them got entangled in the acacia plant branches. The weavers were continuously inspecting the nests and I remember 1-2 of the nests were stuck on the branches rendering them unsafe from predators and thus useless. This nest was intact, but the bird took no chances - he inspected it several times and was protecting it from other males who I think were trying to grab it.
This one looked like a winning nest to me - well built - complete and sturdy. The quality of the nest determines the males chances to find a mate in these species.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Ontario's Floral emblem....
"The adoption of an official flower for Ontario grew out of a movement during the First World War to choose a national floral emblem appropriate for planting on the graves of Canadian servicemen overseas.
The white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum), also known as the wake-robin and the white lily, was officially adopted as Ontario’s floral emblem in 1937. It was recommended by a special committee of botanists to the Ontario Horticultural Association. In a British botanical work published in 1760 there is a reference to the trilliums as “the herb True Love of Canada.”

A bighorn sheep inspecting the dining opportunities near the road in Sheep Creek Canyon not far from Manila, Utah. Sheep Creek Loop is a 10-mile section of road that takes you through the center of the Uinta Crest Fault with lots of dramatic geologic formations, bighorn sheep, deer and other critters. A great drive with beautiful views.

I thought I heard something just under my bedroom window. So I walked the wall that marks the Mansion ground to see if some critters dig under it. But I couldn't find anything. Maybe I just dreamt it? But at least I could try out my new jacket to see if it is of any use when it gets colder
Inspection tags nailed to a former power line pole, that is now laying as a barrier in a parking lot.
Nous retrouvons cette chère ligne des Causses, qui serpente ici au milieu de paysages typiquement lozérien, à hauteur de St Sauveur de Peyre.
La BB-69487 trimballe alors pendant 3 jours tout au long de la ligne Béziers-Neussargues sa voiture d'inspection des installations électriques.

While Mac Yard is congested with the amount of trains arriving, coupled with the cold winter weather we've been having and you got a recipe for disaster of backlog trains and no crews. We're both out doing a 110 inspection on 317 who has just departed Mac Yard for the Bala Sub and points west.

On a beautiful September 12, 1993, the WC operated en inspection train thru Stevens Point. On the rear was a contingent of WC officers lead by Ed Burkhardt. He gave a nice after I took the photo. I wish I would have had the sense to have taken a photo of it.

Coming down in droves, they would look at the berries for a few seconds then just start picking them off and swallowing them as fast as they could.
Inspection train CN 998 is passing some tank cars on the Henri-Bourassa Spur in East End Montreal. It would test a couple of spurs around here before heading north to Garneau Yard.
My wife Lihua (with umbrella) exactly 13 years ago in Hefei, the capital of China's Anhui province. On extremely hot days like this, watermelons from the fridge are a refreshing treat.

Crow Lake catches noon-day sun beneath towering cliffs that reach up to a high-elevation plateau, Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, Montana.
At this point we had been hiking for almost 4 hours on our first day and the terrain conspired to teach us in no uncertain terms that we had severely underestimated its ruggedness. In a fit of questionable planning, the point where I stand is the end of the established trail in this direction, and also where we decided it would be a good idea to chart our own middle-aged course through the forest, up the drainage, and over an unnamed pass to the south. The benefits we anticipated included a general lack of company, spectacular scenery, and a considerable short-cut compared to the route the trail followed.
As the forest to the left of the frame suggests, it is healthy and full of interlocking branches and downed logs. As one might imagine, travel through its fastness is only grudgingly allowed. As I inspect my pack some months later, I am still finding needles lodged in every crevice. Fortunately, it is difficult to truly get lost in terrain like this, as the drainage provides a sort of topographic braille through which we felt our way ever upward away from the lake and toward the treeless heights. The final approach to the pass was steep, probably around 35 degrees, and we paused occasionally for breath and to feel the body humming perceptibly with exertion. Yes, next time more care will be taken in the physical preparation department...
We can't keep the lampshades on the lamps because the kittens like to climb up inside of them. I'm hoping they grow out of that. Someday.
