As if, the sunlight was trapped in between the petals of this pink flowers. No flash, no lighting support, purely sunlight...

A random shot as I was walking through a local town back in September. Some fancy plates in a small shop, among other collectables and bric-a-brac.
This busy wood pigeon made me smile. It was walking so proudly and dare I say, smugly, with this big long twig in its mouth. I presume it is material to build a nest but of that, I am not sure.
Some lovely flowers we have in the front garden, These flowers are highly attractive to the bees. We always have at least 10 bees swarming around the flowers throughout the day.
Best viewed Large HWW! Various old radios and bar stools, just a few of the items for sale upstairs when visited this local antique shop. The whole place had a musty, neglected feel to it, very sad as I'm sure some of this stuff is worth a few quid. Anyone else seeing faces in some of the radios? My pareidolia coming to the fore again.
This was the view up the stairs leading to here
After the continental glacier withdrawal 8,000 years ago, Native Americans spent the summer along the St-Laurence river bank in the Bergeronnes territory. Archeological excavations found several layers of whale and seal skinning tools. From the 16th to 18th century, Native Americans and the Basques hunted seals in Pipounapi marine cove whose meaning is "Here, it does not freeze." In 1653, the surrounding territory was conceded to Lord Robert Giffard by the governor of New France. Remains of two ovens used to collect grease for lighting were found. The first one, with double burner, was built in the late 16th century. Jesuit Evangelist Pierre Laure settled there in 1721. The following year, a chapel and a house were erected. A plot about the fact that too many religious activities - there was a daily public prayer - left no time for Native americans to hunt, led to the abandonment of the mission in 1725. In 1730, the Barragory brothers erected a whaling station and built the second oven with triple burner. Due to the lack of profit, this station was abandoned in 1773. In the absence of real development, the domain went back as Domain of the King, until 1822, when the post was entrusted to the Hudson's Bay Company.
Ten years ago Amtrak released several heritage schemes to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
It took 10 years to see them all, with the last one being the phase II scheme. I never did see 66, but 130 is just as good, especially when it recently got its paint refreshed.
I'm finally all caught up, that is until the 50th Anniversary schemes Amtrak revealed last week get released into the wild.
Amtrak 130 leads the "Birthday Builder" (I'm leveling up to 25 today) into Big Lake.

Seen here the Empire Builder is still triweekly, but come May 24, it's back to daily service.
