Thanks for looking!
This SBD-4 Dauntless, BuNo. 10575 is on display at Chicago's Midway Airport, which is named after the World War II Battle of Midway.
The Douglas SBD Dauntless was a naval dive bomber made by Douglas during World War II. The SBD was the United States Navy's main dive bomber from mid-1940 until late 1943, when it was largely replaced by the SB2C Helldiver. The aircraft was also operated by the United States Army as the A-24 Banshee.
Although relatively slow and outmoded when it began its combat career, it was rugged and dependable and sank more Japanese shipping than any other aircraft during World War II.
The SBD's most important contribution to the American war effort probably came during the Battle of Midway in early June 1942, when SBD dive bomber attacks sank or fatally damaged all four of the Japanese aircraft carriers, three of them in the space of just six minutes (Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, and later in the day Hiryū) as well as heavily damaging two Japanese cruisers (including Mikuma).

Life admin got in the way for a bit. A big bit.
Thanks for the very kind notes and comments in my absence.
Looking forward to catching up with Flickr friends' feeds.
As you can see, things are pretty status quo on the Molly front.
Yellow and mellow, as always.
Just exquisitely dependable.
HOBACK:
“In the Tetons, two bull moose seem to get all of the attention: Hoback and Shoshone. There are several other majestic bulls, but over the past couple of years, the dynamic duo has become the stars of the show. Both are stunningly large and relatively “dependable” subjects. There are times, especially early and late in the season, when you might see them together, as they share much of the same territory. Over a period of three or four years of photographing them, I can suggest they enjoy each other’s company. During the heat of the rut, however, they can become mortal enemies!” By Mike R. Jackson www.bestofthetetons.com
Moose of Grand Teton
Moose are the largest member of the deer family and love cold weather. They frequent marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 Moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests. Moose are most heavily concentrated in Grand Teton Park.
To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a Moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.
Bull Moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. Most of the Moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter but retain them until the following spring. Female Moose do not have antlers.
A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.
Birds, carnivores, and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and Moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients.
Take note—cow Moose with young can be particularly dangerous.

Nigella, also known as 'devil-in-a-bush' or 'love in a mist'.
Nigella damascena has been grown in English cottage gardens since Elizabethan times.
For many years 'Miss Jekyll' was the only widely available variety, and it is still popular for its dependable masses of sky-blue flowers.
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.
Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)
A true blue or purple is not so common in the flower world and not easy to photograph well...

A photo from Victoria's classic boat festival in 2015. Although she has the classic lines of the Elco and Stephens vessels of the the 1920s, "Belle" was built in 1981 by Ron Bell in Richmond British Columbia. She is 47’ long and 12’ wide, with a fiberglass hull. She has a very dependable Isuzu diesel and cruises easily at 9 knots using less than 2 gallons of fuel an hour. She makes 13 knots under full power.

Sentinel Mesa rises abruptly from the valley floor with steep cliffs and a flat, table-like top that reveals clear stratified layers. Visible from multiple viewpoints in Monument Valley, it’s a dependable landmark and a dramatic subject in changing light.
First of the six buds to open on our rose bush in the back garden. Always dependable to blossom throughout the year.

The sign at the entry road back to the Lehigh Valleys Sayre Shops on February 12, 1978. It's pretty amazing that this sign was still there almost 2 years into Conrail. I'm sure it probably ended up in someone's collection of railroad items. This was my first trip to places like Sayre & Binghamton. I was still driving the Vega, which was not dependable enough for a trip like this. A friend had a new pickup truck and so we hit the road and stopped at sacred places like Sayre and Bevier Street. I was still using the old Graphlex camera, so the image quality of what I took that day is not the best, but I'm happy to have the pics I got.
With its dependable water source, abundant fish and game, and natural beauty, the region of Central Texas around the Colorado River and present Inks Lake has been an inviting location for centuries, attracting Native American and German and Anglo settlers. In 1937 while running as a candidate for the surrounding Congressional district, Lyndon Baines Johnson promised voters that he would create a “Tennessee Valley Authority” type of transformation for the Colorado River, including dams for flood control and electricity, bridges and highways, and recreational facilities along the river. Johnson’s victory soon brought into being the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and with it the benefits of rural electrification for residents of the Texas Hill Country. Shortly after Inks Lake was created by a new Colorado River dam, courtesy of the LCRA in 1938, Johnson sought CCC involvement to further enhance the river’s comprehensive development. Having completed work at Longhorn Cavern State Park, CCC enrollees in Company 854 moved to Inks Lake and focused on constructing and supplying amenities, including the park road and recreational facilities along the lake's left bank. The State Parks Board, National Park Service, and the CCC envisioned even grander plans for Inks Lake on both shores, but the threat of World War II curtailed further projects.

Q041 OS'es the North End of Union City, Georgia on the Manchester Subdivision with a former AC6000 leader, Nº5014 as the train passes by the completed and updated signal system which replaced the GRS searchlights. The CSX CW60ACs had their 16 cylinder 7FDL engines replaced with a 12 cylinder Evolution Series engine which has made the model more dependable and also more fuel efficient. The group has since been designated as CW46ACs. January 20, 2017

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.
I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
