Still... things don't seem quite right around here.
When I walk in the door.
When doors are opened.
When I cut the grass.
When food gets dropped on the floor.
When food is left within reach.
When I sit down.
When I leave.
When I'm folding clothes.
When I vacuum.
When there's a thunderstorm.
When I wear black.
When I go to the pet store.
When...
The missing piece to the historical puzzle of the Staunton Depot, although the road name doesn't match with area it's still gives that feel as if you are back in the steam area when railroading was ever so grand. 10/07/23
9 funerals in
9 weeks in
2 states and
2 countries
This was more painful than all the others combined.
"I am blessed to have known you for such a brief period, blessed to have photographed you. Never thought you would leave this world before me. Never thought my photos would grace your caskets. Losing you is almost unbearable. Missing you too intense." -- Your biggest fan, Auntie MeraM

Stop the madness! End violence against women and children.
On the face to it, this picture is pretty unremarkable. The woman at the front is cut off, back of a mans head not much going on and everyone is on their phone - except for the two on the left. They struck up a conversation on the train station platform after the young lady asked the man if he had the train line app to see which train would get her in to her stop quickest. He didn't have a smart phone but did have one thing - experience.
I had been out taking pictures all day in the freeing cold at a homes for people protest and listened, shivering, as they traded stories about their day, their plans for the weekend and their hopes and dreams for the future. They then boarded the train together and continued their conversation. I noticed the train was packed with people, in the assumed position; heads down, squinting into a tiny box of lights, earphones in - no doubt after a long day looking at a computer screen and oblivious to the world around them.
How many 'missed moments' will occur because we had to check our Facebook for our friends latest post, or our fave celebs latest tweets? Life is an endless series of moments and we risk missing them by being disconnected from the world around us. Technology has enabled us to be more connected and wider connected than ever before but it is disconnecting us at a closer, more intimate level more than ever.
Ironically I took my phone and camera out to capture this 'missed moment' as the train began to empty, maybe missing my own moment whilst I tweeted and took the picture, but I thought it was one I had to take. More often than not, I let pictures pass rather than take them because I don't feel every moment needs to captured, just experienced. We can look through our viewfinder too often and for too long and not actually see the world around us. Sometimes a chat is everything.
Well!
Being far away from home on a tiring business trip, nothing better than taking a old pick from home and dream about it when I have 5 min time!!
Looking forward to go back home.
Val (Robert Munic) is one of Matt's buddies. He's just wearing a vintage vest with no shirt, and a baseball cap turned backward, which was just as fashionable in 1990 as today, oddly enough.

dude is missing some key parts. i've converted my husband to the dark side- he now takes pictures of quirky things when out on surveys and emails them to me.
Our neighborhood is constantly overrun with missing cat posters. I hope some of them found their way home.

Some families in south-western Bangladesh complain that they have not eaten since the storm struck and are still missing loved ones.
Engine #2
Trains on the dead track.
New Hope, PA.
I THINK it is this train:
Number 9
0-6-0 "Switcher"
This coal-fired locomotive was built by the American Locomotive Company (#70402) in October 1942 for the United States Army. Built at Schenectady, NY as the 4023, very little is known about the locomotive's early years other than it served in naval supply service for a brief period during the 1940s and 1950s.
In 1952 the locomotive was transferred to the United States Transportation Corps training facility at Fort Eustis, Virginia where it was renumbered 616. Retirement of aging motive power led the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway in Central Virginia to purchase the 616 on August 15, 1958, which it renumbered as their 9. It and three other government-design
0-6-0s shared freight duties well into the 1960s.
The 9 entered passenger service during the Bicentennial summer and ran in this capacity until its flue time expired in 1981. After a decade as a display, the locomotive received an extensive overhaul in 1993, including major firebox and boiler repairs.
"The Missing Heir" was written by my sister and I when we were children in the 1960s. (The story featured the little people in my model town. The photos were taken in 2009, using the original houses and people from the 1960s.)
---------------------
The government is so pleased with Mr Carey’s recent work that they offer to build him a new house with laboratories on the site of the ruined grange. Clive and Wilfred take up archery and spend their time being Robin Hood. Dan and Polly and Tom try to stop thinking about Bella and Alfred and Raymond.
However one afternoon when Dan is visiting Mary at the castle, she mentioned that she had noticed Bella slipping away by herself when she comes up to the castle for bridge evenings and so on, and that a few nights before she found her at the door of the king’s study. Bella made some lame excuse but Mary is doubtful.
One afternoon there is the annual break-up party at the castle and Bella comes up to help with the games and gives chocolates lavishly to all the children. Then she asks if she may do some sketching of parts of the castle. As she goes out, Mary glances significantly at Dan. Tom and Polly see this and decide to shadow Bella for their afternoon’s entertainment. First they see her set up her easel, with a half-done sketch already on it, then as they follow her they find that she is examining all the upper rooms which are open and marking them off on a plan, which she carries. Finally as she is going back, they run into her on a corner, giggle and then look innocent and apologise. They decide that she is up to no good and decide to keep an eye on her.
The next day they are going down the street for Mrs Carey when they see a stranger and Tom decides that he is suspicious because his shoe lace is undone, so they shadow him to see if he will do it up, and he stops outside the church and does it up by one of the seats. So they take the shopping home, and go out again, and see the man coming out of the church. Polly remembers that she thinks she lost a ribbon there last Sunday and while she is looking Tom goes to check on her special hiding place, where one of the seat backs has come loose and where she keeps her special hymn book and a spare collection. When she opens it up she calls to Polly in surprise because there are sheets of old blank paper. They think about it for some time and ask the other children who know of the panel if they did anything to it. Only later did Polly remember that as they left the church they had seen Bella coming along with an armful of flowers.
