After a brief stop for lunch, we meet up with the SB CWR again at Spence where they duck under a wooden bridge. This is one of the last wooden bridges within a couple hundred kilometers of Toronto. CP 6080 & 6045 continue their trek down the Mactier sub.
Riding on some fast-moving water sports crafts is an exciting and thrilling experience. So, from early morning up and until late afternoon on Christmas Day, a number of guests at a popular beach resort, singly or in group, take a ride on jet skis and banana boats for an hour around a large area in Subic Bay designated by the resort's management as safe for such activities.
Captured in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies I've rarely if ever posted ...
For a few warmer years I was able to find & shoot this species as close as an hour-and-a-half drive SE of here in Georgia where they would perch with Halloween pennants. But apparently, colder winters have driven them back farther south. This male was at a lake along the Gulf coast of Florida, flying with species like Golden-winged, Needham's & Bar-winged skimmers. 4-spotted's are fairly common closer to the coast.

I didn't know about Willigis Jäger until recently when I started practicing with a local meditation group; they've become friends while I went through a rather difficult time and the regular Sunday evening practice became something to cherish and look forward to. Too little I know about Willigis Jäger, but I feel he would agree with Rupert Spira who a few days ago recorded this small but profound message:
the prayer I mean is not an asking for something, it is rather a withdrawing into one's inner silence, where the influence of senses and thoughts, through practice, become weaker and weaker ...
here is some more, for those inclined:
Continuing with the theme of the photogenic Tufted Titmouse, here it is coming in for a soft landing. It is so quick that I see I'm going to have to up my SS a bit more if I want to completely stop action.
We continue to pray for those who are in Florida as this very dangerous storm moves across the state. My SL wife, Suzzie and one of our dear friends, MIssy, live along the east coast of Florida and are still in the path of this storm!
The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.
The Heald woods, on the western shore of Lake Windermere. I am keeping a promise to do more low level walks after completing the munro’s. We arrived just in time to catch the early morning sunlight breaking through
Marvelous details grown here. Two of my robot photos melded with difference filter...SHAZAAM!!! Working to bring back the excitement of bright colored action comics of the 1950s feeling.

Continuing where I left off at the last photo, this is the walking path along the beach from the parking lot to North Light. You can just discern the lighthouse in the distance. The atmosphere after sunset was unbelievable.
Works best when viewed in large.
On February 5, 2021we had another soft snowfall that came down as a beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Since I had my Canon at home I felt fortunate to be able to photograph nature at its finest, up close and personal in the woods and hillside behind my home.

Continuing this short series (of birds I hope to see soon) with a male Yellow Warbler from two years ago. The vast majority of my photo ops with warblers are brief, but this little beauty gave me an extended session as it hunted for ants among the leafing-out caragana. The light was perfect. I was on foot, wandering about, saying "ssst-ssst" and "wsht-wsht", the common language of little birds everywhere.

Continuing on that fair winter day along the "Joint Line", a D&RGW southbound coal passes the Air Force Academy lead by an SD45 and three SD40T-2, 5325-5357-5352-5391) @1350.
A lot of fun to watch the sky explode in color and to move around there in the field of leaves to capture that sunlight and color from the sky to the leaves. Fall splendor here in Maryland.
Continuing the aerial series of Tasrail, to-day we see train 2-32 climbing steadily up towards Rhyndaston with TR units TR12 + TR17. The line here crosses Rhyndaston Road as the line heads uphill towards the tunnel. The journey has never been easier with the new Caterpillar units seemingly doing it effortlessly without all the huff, puff and noise of the older units that previously plied this line. This is good news for Tasrail but sad for us that remember the diversity and excitement of the older units.

Let's continue our "journey through time."
We are still on the Dramont Peninsula on the Côte d'Azur in the south of France.
And finally, we turn our gaze toward the sea. Here, next to the typical red cliffs of the Esterel Mountains, whose foothills plunge into the Mediterranean here, we see a small rocky island with a striking tower.
This is the Île d'Or, which is privately owned and therefore unfortunately not open to visitors.
But even from the shore, it makes a great photo opportunity, especially at sunset.
Setzen wir unsere "Zeitreise" nun fort.
Wie befinden uns noch immer auf der Halbinsel Dramont an der Cote d'Azur im Süden Frankreichs.
Und endlich richten wir unseren Blick auch einmal in Richtung Meer. Hier sehen wir neben den typischen roten Felsen vom Esterel Gebirge, dessen Ausläufer hier ins Mittelmeer eintauchen, eine kleine Felseninsel mit einem markanten Turm.
Dies ist die Île d'Or, welche sich in Privatbesitz befindet und somit leider nicht besichtigt werden kann.
Doch auch vom Ufer aus macht sie als Fotomotiv eine Gute figur. Vor allem bei Sonnenuntergang.
Continuing with another image from my Colorado trip... This particular time, up Country Road 5 and hiking up to an Aspen grove. I knew I had to shoot this road scene as soon as I saw it. I tried with a 70-200...but it just didn't have the look I wanted, so...a first for me, I pulled out my Bower (Rokinon) 14mm to try a WIDE shot. I can't recall what f-stop I shot it at, but I took 6 shots at different focusing spots to focus stack them in PS. Since I haven't really been able to get out locally for Fall, I'm heading up to the Boone/Blowing Rock area tomorrow evening after work for a couple days. The weather looks to be turning a bit nasty up there tomorrow, but I'm hoping the leaves hang on. Hope everyone's having a great week!
If it weren't for 12-spotted's! Gee, there just aren't any odes flying. It's hot & dry right now - but too late to save most summer dragons and too hot for Fall species to come out of the shade. This guy is actually by himself ... leaves one of our sticks to chase an occasional whitetail or green darner. A stunning Comet darner flew by the other day - haven't seen him since. And we've seen the first Shadow darner but he wouldn't perch.
Sorry it's been so hectic here - I was at a derm. surgeon yesterday having a skin cancer removed - they told us to plan on being there a good 4 (!) hours. Fortunately it didn't take that long - thanks once again for several good friends that prayed & sent me notes - so appreciated.

Artist ElleStreetArt's mural continues along this semi-circular wall. In total she painted 2,900 square feet. That's big and beautiful. At Hudson Yards
Ten minutes later yielded the arrival of NS 34J with a Conrail SD40-2 leading.
Yep, it happend in 2010! Conrail has been gone for over ten years, and shooting a Conrail SD40-2 on the point is still possible in Chicago.

Gardens of Great Britain
This is a series of photographs taken in the many gardens we have visited over a long period time. It never ceases to amaze how many gardens there are and the variety of planting they show, long may it continue.
Today’s contribution comes from RHS Rosemoor, Torrington, EX38 8PH, North Devon. Truly a terrific garden to visit.
i continue to dream
... and I ask you: do
you understand my dreams?
sometimes you say you do,
and sometimes you say you don't.
either way it doesn't matter.
i continue to dream.

said she. Then she continued, with another two companions, searching for grubs on a group of old casuarina trees. This is how my visit started. After such a long absence I was overwhelmed by what I could watch and photograph. I captured 21 different species (saw and heard many more), amongst them several lovely families with chicks, cygnets and ducklings. Some birds were still building nests, some were patiently incubating.
What a show!
I did not mind this sensory overload at all.

Je continue à essayer de faire une belle photo des trois ensemble, un vrai défi
I'm still trying to take a good photo of the three together, a real challenge
Continuing on with the water/lake theme.....found along the shore's the Lake Palestine in Texas.

As a kid, I was fascinated by movies such as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973/4) and the brilliant special effects work of Ray Harryhausen. I looked up at the sky and remembered this scene.
" I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so, I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you ... "

There's only one thing left here to say
"Love's never too late"
I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go

Continuing with the Flower theme…
This image features a blossom that is synonymous with springtime, the Daffodil. Maybe Tulips would win the competition for the most recognized spring flower, but surely Daffodils would be a close second and, depending on who you ask, maybe actually win out :)
Either way, their cheery yellow color, along with their six-petals and trumpet center shape, make them a favorite for gardens and bouquets.
I captured these beauties last year as I lay on my belly for this low perspective. And yes, I was able to get up successfully :) This 67 year old body is still running on all of its cylinders, though its rpm's are definitely getting slower!
