A westbound Santa Fe freight climbs Ash Hill at Klondike, California, while crossing the Mojave Desert on March 9, 1995. Powering the train is GE C40-8W No. 851, GE C44-9W No. 610 and EMD SD45-2B No. 5514.
Climb the mountain and get their good tiding, nature peace will flow into you as sunrise flows into trees, the wind will blow their own freshness and storm their energy while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of spring

One that I have not seen in the garden before.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Small springtime white flowers in the warm sunshine, with an even tinier insect making the most of this early food source.
Mossy Throne - Recently, I had a dream encounter of a Gray Fox kit relaxing in a mossy Bigleaf Maple in the wilderness. Despite seeing several Gray Foxes over the years, I never had the opportunity to photograph kits before, let alone in a tree.
Gray Foxes fascinate me because they are the oldest extant lineage of canid (which means they branched off from other canids the longest time ago). They are not closely related to red foxes and consume more berries/vegetation than their more carnivorous distant relative. They also have several other unique adaptations and behaviors such as semi-retractile claws and tree-climbing.
It was challenging to expose the fox's eyes and avoid blowing the background - but I tried my best to do so real time. Special thanks to a good friend for making this opportunity possible.
Species: Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargentus)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II + EF 1.4x Extender III, Handheld
Settings: 1/200s, ISO: 1600, f/8 @560mm, Electronic Shutter
The climb up the Niagara escarpment begins for both of these trains. CP 247-31 ascends the 2% percent grade up the Hamilton sub as CN A43531-31 starts to climb the grade to Copetown. Sometimes the stars align and things work out. Not a bad way to end 2020. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!
The next five day's I will be over to the other side of the country for my real life job.
So no second life, no taking pictures.and not posting.
This will be the case for four weeks on weekday's.
With a Second Life inventory exploding with stuff to show I have to let real life get my full priority.
In the meantime have fun while you shop until you drop.

67010 makes a fine sight as it climbs the bank at Llanellen heading for Cardiff. I wanted to grab another Class 67 working here before the foliage really gets going. 1V46 14:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.

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.
