Week #129 - Tree Branches

A weathered Northern Pacific boxcar, situated outside the Inland Northwest Rail Museum near Reardan, WA, witnesses a Washington Eastern Railroad scoot train on a blustery autumn afternoon. The Washington Eastern is the latest of the numerous companies to operate the former NP's CW branch between Cheney and Coulee City, WA.

My Nashi Pear Tree has lots of upright branches which make for some interesting blur photos when added in with other cloudy images. HSS

I really need a break for urgent matters !! Thanks for your visits my friends !

I was watching a branch of our apple tre that was catching the late afternoon sunlight. Two hoverflies kept approaching, then landing on the same branch - must have enjoyed the warmth of the sun. So, I started shooting them when settled on the branch, and then switched to also shooting the approach. I was pleased with the result!

Leaves can't grow without branches. On this alder you also find seeds (male and female)

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my picture. It is much appreciated.

After switching the Weyerhaeuser’s Santiam Lumber mill at Waterloo south of Lebanon, Oregon, an Albany & Eastern train heads back to Lebanon on the AERC’s Sweet Home branch on September 26, 2016. The train is powered by two GE B40-8s—No. 1807 (ex-Southern Pacific) and No. 1841 (former Cotton Belt) trailing. This branch is a former Oregon Electric line, later operated by BN and sold to AERC by BNSF.

“Our lives, I’ve learned, don't simply proceed nicely

and directly from "birth" to "death. Instead, I see each one of us as traveling a most curious and branching-out or circuitous route, one that is creative in ways that are both known and, I'm sure now, unknown.” - Author: Jane Roberts.

This is another attempt to branch out to find new perspectives on dreary scenes. I often see these wonderful curvy branches in bare trees but I am not able to isolate the features in a way I like. This one comes close to capturing it in an artistic way.
