A fairly warm October is ending, and we can feel the chill of November approaching. These little asters or Michaelmas daisies in Erba Park have been able to hold on until now, but their color has lost its summer brightness, and they are fading fast. The annual cycle moves on . . . Similar shots with a 35mm prime didn't turn out quite as well, so here's one with the kit zoom (on my backup camera). [DSC06261_lr_2000]

 

Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.

Zürich, Bürkliplatz, Switzerland

This was my first time in the presence of these beautiful creatures! I couldn't tell which was the male and the female of this Burrowing Owl pair, but I spent some time watching the one of the left yawn, and yawn, and yawn. And then they worked to groom each other. Here the one of the right has moved closer and in front of the other who gives me the "eye" behind its mate.

Calling for Backup - A Bald Eagle calls to its mate for some backup to defend its nesting territory.

This image was taken 5 years ago in Alaska. The Bald Eagles against the stunning mountain scenery evoked a sense of freedom and majesty that I fondly remember. Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th!

Do they have enough backup lights? Where are they going...Back To The Future? I can understand why with all the self driving cars on the horizon. What fun is that?

Recently rebuilt C&NW F7 413 is backing it's train out of the Waukegan station so it can crossover and be ready for it's southbound trip back to Chicago on Labor Day weekend 1972.

One of Nyíregyháza's, and pretty much north-eastern Hungary's only two Ikarus 415s, EWS-831 leaving Halmosbokor hamlet behind in the last rays of the early-winter sun.

 

These two units (the other being EWS-834) are only used as backups now, so it's not that easy to bump into them. During the summer both of them were replacing some Volvos and Credos under maintenance for a solid week or so, but unfortunately we just missed them with Michał (we had more luck with 200 series in the area).

 

This picture would've been possible without the help of Tamás, I hope that he will also reveal some hits from this rather pleasant day very soon! :)

Hopefully all my uploads from here on out will be new content. This was taken last summer at the Italian Gathering in Columbus, Ohio.
