The Dragon is back home from the vet, I could already pick him up around noon. He is okay, still a bit sleepy but mainly VERY angry because he isn't allowed to eat yet. The vet said that if I can't avoid it I may give him some food later tonight. I definitely CAN'T avoid it.
With a few barns being pulled out of storage recently, and with the prospect of the Canadian border opening back up in a few weeks, my chance for some more barn photos are coming soon. In the meantime, this oldie from a few years ago before PTC ruined them in the States, this L505 with the appropriate clean leader leans into a sharp curve west of Durand as they hustle along.

After waiting quite a while to get into Oakwood, CP T28 returns back east past the in process restoration of the former Michigan Central Depot and prepares to enter the WIndsor Tunnel with a decent size train lead by one of the fresh beaver SD60s.

Sunrise red brought this dead tree back to life for me on an overlook in the Shenandoah National Park. This is such a beautiful place!
Steller's jays are always a welcome sight, but none more beautiful of a time than in the winter. I love to see the contrast between their beautiful tones of blue with black against the white of the snow. On this day, we watched as a group of Steller's jays foraged for food in the hardened snow patch. This jay had found some and tossed them back to swallow. So interesting.
Happy Wednesday!!

This late sunset at about 8:30 p.m. bounced onto the eastern clouds surprised me and brought me joy.
No increased saturation. Only had time to take the D810 and 105mm f/2.8 prime outside to capture that light on the trees.
Many thanks for looking! Please, no advice. There are many who take skilled landscape shots. I am not one of them ;)
Back in Ireland to see my family after 2 years of travel restrictions. It rained.

A look back over the treed plains from along US 287 in Lafayette, CO toward Green Mountain and the line of foothills that form the western edge of the Boulder Valley. This image seemed the perfect candidate for vintage processing--reminding me of the quieter times portrayed in many a picture of the Boulder Valley from archival records. Ironically, a sprawling Walmart Superstore is just out of sight to the left of where this picture was taken.
Check out this nicely done drone video portrait, called Above Boulder, by Kjell Redal, for a look at life in modern day Boulder Valley. Just came across it this morning:
Even though I'm not "caught up" here on Flickr, due to extreme busyness leading up to being out of town till the beginning of October, I thought I'd post this picture from a recent bike ride before my departure. I will be offline with Flickr for several weeks, beginning this weekend. Enjoy the rest of your summer and happy shooting everyone!
Best viewed large!
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and kind comments! I really appreciate them. Be well all!

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

The Mandarin duck is back, and searching out a potential partner from the female wood ducks, his color will become more vibrant over the next couple of months
In March of last year I started in a competition for the last time + now i am back + this time with my camera + my running shoes still resting
Die Viermastbark Peking wieder zu Hause im Hamburger Hafen: Flying P-Liner oder kurz P-Liner nannten Seeleute in der Zeit der Windjammer hochachtungsvoll die Segelschiffe der Hamburger Reederei F. Laeisz. 66 der 86 Segelschiffe, die sich im Besitz der Reederei F. Laeisz befanden, trugen Namen mit dem Anfangsbuchstaben „P“. Dies ist auf eine kleine Bark, die im Jahre 1856 für die Reederei bei H.C. Stülcken gebaut wurde, zurück zu führen. Die Bark wurde nämlich PUDEL getauft – nach dem Spitznamen der Reedersgattin Sophie Laeisz. Heute gibt es nur noch vier erhaltene Flying P-Liner – die POMMERN, die PASSAT, die PADUA und die PEKING. Die PADUA wird immer noch als Segelschulschiff genutzt, während die POMMERN und die PASSAT als Museumschiff in Mariehamn (Finnland) und in Travemünde fest vor Anker liegen. Die PEKING ist aus New York nach Deutschland zurückgekommen und wird nun Museumsschiff in ihrer Heimatstadt Hamburg.
The four-mast boat Peking back home in the harbor of Hamburg: Flying P-Liner or P-Liner for short, sailors in the time of the Windjammer highly named the sailing ships of the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz. 66 of the 86 sailing ships owned by the shipowner F. Laeisz bore names with the initial letter "P". This can be traced back to a small bark built in 1856 for the shipping company at H. C. Stülcken. The bark was baptized PUDEL – after the nickname of the shipowner’s wife Sophie Laeisz. Today there are only four surviving Flying P-Liner – the POMMERN, the PASSAT, the PADUA and the PEKING. The PADUA is still used as a sailing school ship, while the POMMERN and the PASSAT are used as a museum ship in Mariehamn (Finland) and Travemünde (Germany) . The PEKING has returned from New York to Germany and is now a museum ship in its hometown of Hamburg.

Rio Grande local freight No. 668 rumbles into Provo, Utah with cars from Geneva Steel on a gorgeous Oct. 17, 1976 morning in Utah Valley. Engineer Bob Pace will have his train tied down at Provo Yard, take his power to the tie up track, and sign the register in time for lunch.
