A little Crimson Rosella cleaning and preening. Testing Rob's DA*300/4. It's on lone and I forsee many tears when the time to hand it back comes around. Incredible bit of glass.
King Parrot (wiki)
Australian parrot. This is a male one and in my yard. There was a female one very close to him, too.
Turkey Vultures seem to have a "world weary" expression, as if they have seen it all, and there's nothing that can surprise them.
They truly are nature's clean-up crew, and when there is a group circling overhead, it's a good sign there's been a kill.
I read some time ago that in Africa, poachers kill vultures, as they would provide clues to the game wardens that there had been an illegal kill, and that's how they were finding the poachers. The kill of the vultures obviously created a lot of problems, as they are such an important part of the ecosystem.

Some days you just need to clean your equipment.
I actually don't clean mine at all.
My bad.
Happy Wednesday.
This is your yearly reminder that the brush cutter is at work along the NHN. He managed to reach the meadows today and completed the whole road side, and was working back up the east side before clearing up for D8. Nothing new is really opened up but at least it is cleaned up now. Caught D8 cruising south on my way home with 3825-1801-3823 and at least 30 loads.
Yet I always uploaded my pictures directly from SL - using firestorm. Recently I was not happy with the result and started to tinker with some filters outside and upload it afterwards.
This here is an old picture with some modifications (contrast, colors, ...)
What do you think? Is it worth it, or are "original" pictures the better choice?
For comparison: Original one
The (almost) clean paw of Linus. He loves to dig in the dirt and as he doesn't do things by halves he uses all four paws. Sometimes you don't even recognize the original colour if his fur anymore but unlike Fynn Linus spends a lot of time grooming himself and usually doesn't need my help to get clean again.
What I wouldn't give to have our old mix matched bag of shit power back after too many years of orange. However when they were fresh and clean still they were well worth the chase especially on a day like this. MQT 3389, 3391 and on loan ISRR 3388, a beast of a loco at that, lead one of our tonnage trains south out of white cloud on a rare snow covered code blue day. It may not look like a large train but these trains will put a trio, later on quad and some times a quintet of 40's down to their knees on the hills going south from Baldwin to Grand Rapids. The tonnage graph for DC EMD's says 1 Horse Power per ton but we try to keep the trains at about 1.2 or higher to make sure we don't have to double unless the power goes belly up.

A window cleaner in his suspended cart and the facade of the fab Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Neutelings Riedijk) building, shot from the trademark Neutelings Riedijk staircase.
About the museum: "Naturalis is a combined experience of seeing and doing. In the new galleries, you will learn everything about the earliest life on earth, about the Netherlands in the Ice Age and about the immense forces of our planet". Source: Naturalis.

The soundtrack? Ofcourse Van The Man - Cleaning windows.
I saw this duck on a pond during my walk on Saturday morning. It was the only white duck there but lived in a group of mallards who seemed to accept her. I guess it's a domestic duck, however it ended up on the pond.
Four fresh SD70M-2s arrived in Saint John just two days ago to be added to the Irving fleet. One of four would end up leading NBSR 121-01 out of Saint John, that would later tie down once across the border in Bancroft. We picked the train up at Bancroft this morning with the clean 6411 leading the way, and ended up chasing all the way to Brownville Jct. Here, EMR 121 rolls across the Pleasant River within Cautionary Limits in preparation to yard the short train.
La fin de journée est arrivée, il est temps de nettoyer le chantier du moment... Au pas de la porte comme à la fenêtre, ça récure sec !
