It may look as though Saturn's moon Mimas is crashing through the rings in this image taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, but Mimas is actually 28,000 miles (45,000 kilometers) away from the rings. There is a strong connection between the icy moon and Saturn's rings, though. Gravity links them together and shapes the way they both move.
The gravitational pull of Mimas (246 miles or 396 kilometers across) creates waves in Saturn's rings that are visible in some Cassini images. Mimas' gravity also helps create the Cassini Division (not pictured here), which separates the A and B rings.
This view looks toward the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Mimas. North on Mimas is up and rotated 15 degrees to the right. The image was taken in green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 23, 2016.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 114,000 miles (183,000 kilometers) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 29 degrees. Image scale is 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) per pixel.
The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Is what these fancy homes to my left in La Crosse have when there's not a BNSF train blocking it. This is new double track installed by BNSF during the oil boom to alleviate congestion but our target train was still being held out because a track rider was doing heat patrol on Main 1 while the dispatcher got rid of a few eastbounds.
This is a great spot to hang out and shoot trains, at the end of a quiet dead end street with plenty of shade and nobody to bother you. The residents of the house were out working in the yard and totally ignored our presence.
As we get ready to approach another weekend (can you tell I'm a bit anxious?), I thought I would share another image from our recent trip to Katmai NP & Preserve in Alaska. Anyone that knows me or who has followed my photo stream knows just how much these bears mean to me. <3
On this particular day, the salmon were running quite thick in the river, so we hiked down to the shoreline in search of bears actively feeding upon them. It wasn't long before we found some, including this particular one who we were sharing the rocky shoreline with. LOL. It approached from initially a distance, then kept walking towards us. An algae-covered shoreline of slippery rocks doesn't make for a quite getaway, so we stayed our course, as did the bear. At what must have been its perceived "personal space" distance, it decided to veer off and simply go around us ... being much more used to the river rocks than I ... without incidence or even much of a concern. Let me be clear that we were with our guide and simply gave way for the bear to naturally pass us ... much like it would have another bear in the area.
Coastal brown bears are quite preoccupied with the salmon run and are what I call "fat and happy" bears. It's such a thrill to see them and more than that it's an honor to share their environment with them. I had sure missed them over the last 2 years and so happy to have been reunited. :-)
Happy Thursday to all. So glad that you stopped by to view and as always, your comments are much appreciated.

I just like photographing pink it seems. I can't stay away from it for long. :)
This is a porcelain half doll (or pincushion doll), which was made in Germany in the 1920s. The silver and rolled gold thimble is the same one I photographed a couple of days ago. This time I've included a roll of cotton/linen mix ribbon and a couple of pieces of hand torn silk ribbon to add to the pinkness.

a sunny Sunday afternoon was a welcome treat. the corn is ready to harvest, but need to finish the beans. a little too much moisture now.
rail lines are predetermined in their course, so why do we (OK me) always want to follow them to see where they go... or maybe that's just it -transport, travel, adventure.
Happy Monday everyone!
Thinking back to our recent adventure into Yellowstone NP ... we had hoped to locate the infamous bobcat. Though we had no luck finding any of them, we did manage numerous winter wildlife sightings.
Along the river, we spotted this beautiful bald eagle who was just finishing up its fresh catch of fish. It was sitting on a boulder in the river and would take bites repeatedly, but not before picking up its head to keep an eye on its surroundings. When the entire fish was consumed, it flew just a bit to a more exposed location, where it cleaned off its beak and talons ... seemingly taking a break in-between its dinner courses.
The brisk winter air blowing in our faces, the sound of the waters flowing along, and the solitude of Yellowstone in the winter made it a priceless experience ... spend with good friends. :-) Can't wait to get back.
Thanks so much for stopping by and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

Our neighborhood provides lots of wildlife scenes. The bucks are always special and have no problem with staring me down.
