After not really going anywhere for nearly 3 months, I took an opportunity in the weather to climb a local hill called Bennachie. Although we have no snow at all at the house, this is only a 10 minute drive from where I live, and the slightly higher altitude means it is covered in snow. We are only low down at the moment so let's climb!

In the rose garden at the Ringling Museum. It was not the best day to photograph the roses because they had just been cut back and fertilized for the growing season, but I managed to find a few to capture.

I'm kind of obsessed with this tree, needing to photograph it each time I'm in the vicinity.
je suis un peu obsédée par cet arbre, ayant besoin de le prendre en photo à chaque fois je suis dans son coin.
A westbound BNSF oil train climbs the grades of Mullan Pass working through Austin, Montana, on the afternoon of July 1, 2020.

There aren't a lot of places in southwest Minnesota where trains have to fight steep grades, but a notable exception is the climb southbound BNSF trains make along the Redwood River from Marshall to Florence. This train was struggling about as hard as any I've seen along here. It took 25 minutes to make the 8 miles between Russell and the US 14 overpass at Florence. It will soon be rolling downhill again through the hills of the Buffalo Ridge toward Pipestone.

Not something i would want to do, even the guy standing on the top was making me nervous! I don't mind heights as long as feel safe!

After overextending themselves acquiring Milwaukee Road, Soo Line established a wholly-owned division called Lake States Transportation Division on February 10, 1986, to operate its mostly former Soo Line trackage in Wisconsin and prepare it for sale. With this move, older locomotives and some leased power began to be much more common on these lines. On March 22, 1987, a southbound Soo Line (Lake States) freight climbs to the top of Byron Hill at Byron, Wisconsin, powered by two Soo EMD GP9s and a leased Conrail EMD GP38.
