CP 7043 is leading CSX K026-23 which has just changed crews at North Baltimore. Q135-23 is crossing all the way over and pulling into the yard on the lead to the left in this view and the oil train will have to wait a few minutes for the long intermodal with a cut of autoracks on the end to clear the crossovers.

It’s not unusual for me to find that the artwork in field guides doesn’t quite prepare me for my first encounter with the real thing. That was the case with this Cut-throat Finch that we encountered during our visit to Ethiopia. I had seen the photos while preparing for the trip but it didn’t really stand out to me but wow when I saw the bird in the feather it definitely left a lasting impression. What a cool looking bird!

My garden is my refuge and my happy place. I love to get my hands dirty, pottering about, pulling weeds, trimming and pruning. And I do go a bit crazy with colour - none of your minimalist green garden for me! Roses and other cut flowers are a bonus. These “Double delight” roses are one of my all time favourites.

Three years ago we saw this bird for the first time in Kruger Park, they are now regular visitors to our garden.
Two males, the female has no red throat...
And no, they were not posing like this, two shots joined....
Planned on bluebell hunting at sunrise yesterday morning in Sherwood Forest where I've seen some lovely images from already this year, hence why I was 100 miles from home at 5am. The forecast looked great for sunrise.
The dog started to limp when I let her out for a toilet break so the bluebells and woodlands were off the cards for the day. Pleased to say she's better today but no ball chasing for a week at least.
It ended up as a morning of reccying locations in this area, which I'm happy to say I found all of. One of which I never would have found without the help of a friendly local who walks his dogs there each morning. I'm never going to get to shoot it in the conditions Steve Cole had simply because of the distance from home but this magical shot of his was the reason I went searching for it.

I realised where I was close to, so I opted for Sawley Cut and Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station at sunrise.
Zero steam from the cooling towers when we first got there. This was taken at 06:07 and the first wisps started to show as people got up to start their day and pop the kettle on.
Coldstone Cut is a landscape sculpture in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. It is the highest and largest piece of public art / sculpture in Yorkshire, affording spectacular views over the surrounding landscape and the nearby limestone quarry the sculpture overlooks. A visit here is a must for any drone photographer.
Some leaves where a leaf cutterbee has been busy.
Leafcutting bees, as their name implies, use 0.25 to 0.5 inch circular pieces of leaves they neatly cut from plants to construct nests. They construct cigar-like nests that contain several cells. Each cell contains a ball or loaf of stored pollen and a single egg. Therefore, each cell will produce a single bee. Leafcutting bees construct these nests in soil, in holes (usually made by other insects) in wood, and in plant stems. A diversity of cavities, such as shells of dead snails, holes in concrete walls (like those produced for hurricane shutters) and other holes in man-made objects are used as nesting sites.

A massive intermodal cut for a future BNSF Z Train gets hauled out of Alliance Yard by a pair of unique ITSX EMDs in Haslet, TX. Leading is ITSX #2839, a former SP SD40T-2 downgraded from SD45 specs, and second is ITSX #4027, an EMD SD39. These intermodal terminal servicing crews regularly work around Alliance Yard throughout the day, with multiple sets assigned to intermodal or autorack duties. If you’d asked me what I’d expect to find when I first researched the DFW area before I moved out here, one of the last things I’d ever think I’d see was a tunnel motor taking the point of an intermodal train (7/1/23).

PETER:
I used Mummy Marian's scissors and put them back in the drawer after use and I did not cut the cardboard bear head from the present.
I cut up a picture of me and stuck it on the back of the cardboard bear's head. I think it turned out great!
The cap did not fit on the head, so I pasted it next to it

Conrail mixed freight makes its way through this rock-cut before it assaults the ruling grade.
I used a tilt/shift lens to tilt the focus along the plane of the train itself. I wanted to separate the train from the foreground rock a little, make it feel like there was more real-life distance going on there, even at f/13.

Nearly forgot to post a pic for Macro Mondays. here we have some cut plywood hearts, not that you can tell. These are for my girlfriend's new Blueheart campaign to rewild your garden.
