Am lucky enough that the Evening Grosbeak are still visiting. It's pretty awesome. They seemed to have gathered some extra friends this morning, counted 20+ around the backyard!!!
We had a rare snow day yesterday (2/12), thought it may continue but it ended by the night ended. I wanted to take more pictures but I got chickened out by the temp and 2 out of control dogs with too much excitement! Stayed out only 20 minutes max...
Continuing on from the calm conditions of the previous image, this is literally a couple of hundred yards away in the opposite direction. This is why this area is so popular with photographers, a fresh image every few steps.
Continuing female at this location, although it seems to be reported much less frequently than the male that is also here. Very small oriole! It seemed to be the same size as a House Sparrow that it perched right next to!
Arden Drive, Encinitas, CA.
Continuing my series of birds in black and white in the urban environment, here's a swainson's hawk perched on an electrical pole
Tears continue to fall as I think of you... oh, how I wish you could magically reappear... my precious boy! How did it all happen so fast and when do we finally meet one another, again?
I am continuing working on getting some decent images of Mountain Bluebird inflight. I learned a lot more about the challenges today and got a few that I will share but I am still not there yet. It was a lot of fun doing it though.
Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 and continuing my visit to Bisbee Arizona. This is stage 7 of 9.
I arrived just a little before the original Bisbee Breakfast Club opened so I walked around Erie Street. Then I ate a Harvest Omelette with egg whites at BBC. Then I walked around Erie Street a little more.
Lots of memories for me since I grew up in Arizona in the 1950's. Miami & Globe Arizona were a lot like Lowell.
This is the iconic Lowell space ship mural. Lots of street art and murals in the Bisbee metroplex.
The closest I can get in identifying this truck is a 1940 Chevrolet wb-Series 1.5-Ton Flatbed Truck. Any correction will be appreciated. This truck is famous as the Lowell Old Chevy Truck making it hard to specifically identify it since its picture is the primary one to always appear.

Erie Street, Historic Lowell
Bisbee, Arizona
A living snapshot of a different time in America is preserved and maintained by a community of volunteers.
Visiting Erie Street is like walking into a 1950s post-apocalyptic landscape. From all that is immediately apparent, it could have been abandoned in a hurry and forgotten for half a century. Rusting cars, trucks, and an old Greyhound bus sit deserted along the street as if their passengers had suddenly vanished (or worse).
Erie Street is most of what is left of Lowell, Arizona, a mining town incorporated into Bisbee in the early 1900s. Much of the town’s residential area was demolished to widen an open-pit copper mine. Losing most of its residents caused the commercial district to struggle, and many businesses failed as a result. Today, the street’s special curiosities include a Harley Davidson repair shop with a now-defunct gas pump and Sprouse Reitz Co., a department store that is nearly empty except for a few appliances and a whole pile of mannequin parts.
Despite appearing untouched since its decline, further investigation reveals that Erie Street is continually restored by a vibrant and passionate community of residents and volunteers who want to remember a different America. So although you can no longer see a show at Lowell’s movie theater or pay $0.22 for gasoline, the Lowell Americana Project has made it possible to experience the street as a living snapshot of another time. And not everything on Erie Street is purely decorative—visit the Bisbee Breakfast Club for an excellent Huevos Rancheros.

Lowell, Arizona was once a sizable mining town located just to the southeast of Bisbee. Today, it is a small neighborhood of the larger community.
Though the majority of the original townsite was consumed by the excavation of the Lavender Pit mine during the 1950s, what remains today is a photographer’s dream. The one street that is left features mid-century buildings, signs, and artifacts in a colorful display that makes visitors feel as if they have taken a step back in time.
Haiku thoughts:
Erie Street lingers,
Ghosts of fifties' laughter hum,
Time stands in still frames.

Happy Truck Thursday, HTT,
Continuing to fill in photos from last spring (before I head back next week!) here's another shot from this fabulous morning southbound chase, one of the tops of the trip for sure. Canadian National train U713 has a trainload of pellets fresh from the Minntac taconite plant headed south to Proctor Yard. The sizzling train is has the same tunnel motor trio from the prior day hustling along with with fan favorite rebuilt SD40-3 BLE 909 (originally built as an SD45T-2 in Feb. 1973 as SSW 9277) leading the way. They are seen here approaching the Swan Lake Road crossing at MP 32.4 on modern day CN's North Division Missabe Sub mainline.
This is an area that needs no introduction to even the most casual fan as the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway is in a word legendary. I won't bore you with pages of history as I couldn't do the road or region justice anyway. It simply needs to be experienced for oneself. But I will direct you to two resources. Absolutely check out the fabulous historical information here: www.missabe.com/
And for a fabulously well written overview of modern CN operations find yourself a copy of the April 2023 edition of Railfan and Railroad right now! shop.whiteriverproductions.com/products/rfr-202304

Continue to last series of "Night & Light Series 20 -dynamic & blur view at the street", which aim to capture the respective atmosphere & beauty of dynamic light at night .
Continuing with some of my early color negs. For pictorial images such as this, I'd many use slide film. Had a few frames of this early morning misty lake on negatives.
Continuing my clear-out of archives, some more photos from previous years as yet not uploaded.
Thanks to everyone who takes time to view, fave or comment on my pictures.
Continuing the series from Thanksgiving weekend, 1994...a D&H local returns to Kenwood Yard behind a CP GP9u running long hood forward. The location is milepost A1 on Canadian Pacific's Colonie Main Line, formerly Delaware & Hudson's Third Subdivision. I remember those triangular "Signal Territory Starts" signs and assume they dated back to the installation of CTC by the D&H. I believe the "Safety pays..." sign was installed after CP took over. Those two signs and the milepost have all since been removed or replaced.
CP 8229 GP9u
Yes, continue the last post in yesterday that I promised; he finished to ate and walked down from the high fence!
I wait him until he walked on the ground--appreciate his meditation walk:)))
Thank you to interesting any nature:)

Yesterday’s figures continue to provide hope that the corona emergency is easing while the epidemic continues to demand a high toll: 230 corona-related deaths were recorded and 211 patients were hospitalised, bringing the total number of people that are treated in hospital to 4,527. Meanwhile, the corona death toll in Belgium keeps attracting attention of the international press. Whilst the European press acknowledges that our figure is an overestimate and that it’s nearly as we are being too honest some US press is less diplomatic when talking about the mortality rate in Belgium: “Champion of Coronavirus” and “Belgian Corona Riddle” … Our virologists are urging caution when comparing figures and stress that we are the only country to include deaths in care homes. I think we all should realize that the corona crisis is not a race and that we'd be better off concentrating on finding the best way to count deaths instead of pointing fingers. In the midst of all of this, I continue with my daily corona walk documenting Ghent as it unrolls before my eyes… - Brugse Poort, Ghent, Belgium
Prairie Light, continued. I was driving up Butte Road before dawn and had to stop near my favourite tree. A crescent moon and Venus hung in the sky above; in the distance lay silhouetted 70 Mile Butte (behind the tree) and the small bump of the Sleeping Lion (to the right).
I had to get across an irrigation ditch in the dark. Dry in October, so no problem. The brittle grass was knee-high. There was no wind. I carried my tripod with a single lens, the 14-24mm, and walked along a dyke until it felt right. A robin watched me approach, and didn't fly away. The silence was exquisite, as if the world were holding its breath. And then the moment passed.
Shooting at dawn is so different from shooting at sunset: we watch the light grow, not fade away.

Paint me a window, soft and defined.
And flood yellow light.
Through the open blinds.
It's somewhere, hidden from view.
A portrait, an epitaph...
I'm supposed to talk to you.
Continuing our look at Dwarf military units*, the Dwarven Bombard Squadron is a sight to behold. Powerful Dwarves, trudging along with cannons strapped to their backs. No wagons, no wheels needed.
The cannon units for other races are limited to somewhat level terrain for both travel and staging. Not so with the Dwarves. Your fortified city can suddenly find itself bombarded from surrounding mountain peaks.
With the added stealth and quickness of the Bombard troops, early warnings are almost eliminated and sieges can be set up and initiated with lightning rapidity.
👾 Happy 🏰 Heroclix 🏯 Friday! 🐉

Continuing my exploration and celebration of small things with the patterns in this seaweed, left behind by the tide, at a beach near Batemans Bay, NSW. At Batemans Bay near where the sea meets the river, the seaweeds were extraordinary in variety and range. But I think this came from a different beach...
Note how the photographer has inserted herself into the picture with the shadow bottom right! (A typical shadow of a hand holding a small camera.)

Another perfect night to watch the fireworks over the Ottawa River. Saturday night was Portugal's show and it was a beautiful display of color and sparkles. This is the view from behind the Supreme Court. I am glad I don't have to decide who is the winner.

"I was continuing to shrink, to become...what ? The infinitesimal ? What was I ? Still a human being ? Or was I the man of the future ? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world ? So close - the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet - like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God’s silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man’s own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends is man’s conception, not nature’s. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero. I STILL EXIST !"

CPKC 241 continues its charge northward on the Detroit Lakes Subdivision, originally the Soo Line's Winnipeg mainline, toward Thief River Falls and later Noyes at the international border seen here south of Winger in Polk County. Winger has a gravel road underpass at this location, which I had intended to include in the scene. However, the timing was tight, so I opted for this framing with the various prairie grasses and snow. Next time.
And the archiving of my work continues. Now I am getting all of the drawings (well over a hundred), from Noёl Riley Fitch and my book “Paris Café: The Sélect Crowd,” labelled and in order. They were done in sketchbooks between 1995 and 2007. My sketchbooks are dated and numbered. Luckily, I put the sketchbook number on the back of the drawings. They had been cut out. So, it was very easy to find the year each drawing was done. Still more to do…..
Continuing along the Clark Fork, the H-KCKSPO1-27A hustles westbound near the Bighorn Sheep crossing east of Eddy, behind SD45s MRL 382-319-328.
2 November 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Despite that the virus continues to spread rapidly among the population across the whole country and just a day before the lockdown measures are due to come into force, a Shopping Sunday took place in Antwerp. Given the large number of shoppers on Saturday virologist, healthcare workers and everybody with common sense had high hopes that the event would be rained off or that people would simply stay away from the shopping streets. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the opposite. The city center of Antwerp was again extremely busy, and there were big queues outside retail outlets. Also, Police continued to be called out to close down illegal parties and gatherings. Incomprehensible! Belgium is not the only country that has gone into or is about to enter its second lockdown of the coronavirus crisis. Countries such as France are already in lockdown while England will go into lockdown from next Thursday. Our situation is much worse than the situation in Germany, France or England, nevertheless, a part of the Belgian population is unwilling to stick to the basic measures that have been put into place to curb the further spread of the virus and some politicians are shying away to drive compliance. This trail of grossly irresponsible behavior will, without a shed of a doubt cost lives. Meanwhile, we gave up on our multi-course family lunch on Christmas. Instead we are bracing for a dark and grey winter. Let’s hope that afterwards there will be many beautiful springs and summers to come. Today’s dark and grey picture was taken a couple of years ago in Damme – Damme, Belgium.
Cold and fog continues to blanket the Chicago shoreline so what's an outdoor enthusiast to do? Pull out your sea kayak for a warm-up paddle in preparation for better weather on the way. Montrose Harbor is very well protected from the winds making it a perfect place to hone your skills before heading out on the lake or rivers.
and until daylight approaches, the ghosts and the unexplainable continues...then, who knows what will happen in November?
Continue attracting spring... :-)
Another view of that misty morning of May in our Don Valley.
