Buckets like this one carried coal from the mines around Longyearbyen, Svalbard to the harbor along a massive cableway.
Keep the rain and fog from dripping down into the engine of one of the fishing boats at Moss Landing, just north of Monterey, California.
You’ll see a few of these today because it was on show last night and I went to see it. The orange alert was about 5 and 6pm but by the time I decided to go out which was nearly 7pm it seemed to be over. I headed out for local with no idea where to go. I could see a lot of cars parked round Souter lighthouse so it was best avoid there. I parked up the car a bit further down and set of walking in the pitch black to the coast, by the time I was setting up the camera there was only a faint green glow on the horizon. I hung around for an hour and started to head back, as the cliffs were blocking my phone signal when I got up a height I had a quick check of the Aurora app and sure enough it had just changed from green to yellow, a quick photo also showed a hint of red. I rushed back to my spot and it all kicked off, I got 3 or 4 with my wide angle then for some strange reason I decided to change over to my 35mm, big mistake. It so hard to set up and compose in the dark and in my rush I hadn’t realised I’d knocked the aperture, so I fluffed the first few photos and by the time I’d realised why I was under exposed it was over. It must of only lasted a few minutes but I’m so please too caught a couple. Here’s probably the best of the night. It may not be Iceland but it was great to see.
I dropped into three different parks this morning and there were lots of rabbits at each one. Seems to be a good spring for them.

This was on my bucket list for years and I almost missed it. As we drove north on AZ Hw 163 we saw many sandstone formations but never saw a turnoff marked 'Monument Valley'. After some time I suspected we had gone too far. Passing the Utah state line, crossing the San Juan River, and arriving in Mexican Hat I knew a turn-a-round was required. Driving south and keeping our eye peeled we finally say a small sign attached to a fence and turned off to find the main viewpoint. Why the signage was so sparse is still a mystery to me.
To get a sense of the size of these 'mittens' enlarge the photo and look for a lone vehicle on the road.
Live for the simple things
Live for the things that make you happy
Endure with grace the moments that don't
Seek out your peace
Let go of things and people that disturb it
And fill your days with sunrises and sunsets
and following after beauty,
the wild in you,
and the deepest truth.

Restrictions--Five colors only no more no less!! Can you take color away?? Of course you can, just make sure you have five left when you are done.
Dare--Can you make it hard for the viewer to find all five??
WIT: Today at the park I had the kids fill this red pail with dandelions. Cropped and adjusted the contrast in post processing. When the photography was done the kiddos presented the flowers to mom.
Bucket seats.
When it rolled out the Ford factory it was just another pickup truck destined for a life no doubt carrying produce from farm to town.
Little is known of its history but what is known is that this pickup is now on Australian soil and has undergone a tremendous transformation.
Today it is one mean street machine and it turns heads whenever it makes an outing.
The original uncomfortable bench seat has be ripped out and replaced with more comfortable custom created bucket seats.

Taken at the annual Sharonville Car Show held in the Sharonville suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
This show was generally one of the earliest in the year and always attracted many very cool and often unusual vehicles. They also held some other weekly shows. I think this one was taken during one of the weekly events. I'm not sure when they stopped holding the shows, but we checked and unfortunately there won't be one this year.
I really love T buckets like this one, but I sure wouldn't want to be in a wreck with one. This one has disc brakes on the front which is a great safety feature.

I've traveled I-81 through Virginia many times, but it wasn't until May 2017 that I finally decided to figure out a way to get a one-and-done photo in the state while passing through. On that trip, I convinced my wife that we should stay overnight in Troutville (north of Roanoke), try for a shot at Arcadia, and then I could take her to check out Natural Bridge. That trip ended up being more than "mission accomplished" when not only did I get an early morning northbound, but I stumbled upon the Lackawanna heritage unit leading. This was the result:
But, that experience ultimately made me want to go back and spend more time. "I'll get back there someday," I thought.
Well, then NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals along the line, and suddenly time became of the essence.
In April 2023, Brian Plant -- knowing that I was a fan of the H-Line -- sent me some LCD screenshots of his chase of the Reading heritage unit leading a southbound. He also generously offered to drive me around down there the following year. I asked my wife if she'd be okay if I made the trip, and she said, "Sure, if you buy me a house." (we were renting at the time)
Well, I bought her a house.
(We closed in October 2023, and I promise the purchase wasn't just so I could make a trip to Virginia......maybe...)
So, from this past Sunday through Wednesday, Grundy Rail Tours provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we got off to a fast start. On our way down, we caught up with southbound Train NS 13Z, seen here knocking down the CPL at Midvale. The train's EMD leader also meant that I was now 2 for 2 for EMD leaders on the H-Line! More on that later...
Getting such a fast start certainly took a lot a pressure off, but this wouldn't be the only success we had on this trip. I'm planning on sharing a handful of others in the days (more likely weeks) to come...

Happy Bench Monday! This was shot on my breezeway. The old sap buckets and bench are from Vermont.
I will be traveling to Portland on Wednesday and won't be back until the 17th of December. I will try to keep up, but may have limited computer time. Thanks for all of the positive comments and faves. I wish you all a terrific and creative 2 weeks!
The old ladder and bucket this falls was named after are about 100 yards behind me. It was the best falls of the day. It's a 36 footer in the southern Ozark National Forest near Hector, AR.
