An archive shot from a typical sunset session, lots of different types of clouds all dashing towards me . Kaya is by Bob Marley and The Wailers. I do love reggae in the morning :))
There is plenty of wildlife in Elk Grove Regional Park. As you stroll through the park you will see squirrels everywhere. They will entertain you with their poses and dashes from one tree to another. This squirrel stopped and stared. Staying as still as it could until we passed. We couldn’t miss this opportunity!
Dashing
"Jingle Bells" - Diana Krall
Dashing through the city
On a starry winter night
Shopping for my baby
When I was greeted by a sight
Snow it was a fallin'
Painting everything white
What fun it is to feel like a kid
When all is merry and bright!
A pair of surprisingly fresh Union Pacific C40-8s lead a 59-car MRODV 02 through American Fork, Utah the morning of May 2, 1998. The snow-capped Oquirrh Mountains provide a stunning background.
After the first major snowfall of the 2017-2018 winter season, westbound train 406 hustles along, approaching Passekeag, New Brunswick, along the CN's Sussex Subdivision. Hoping for more scenes like this for the upcoming season.

BNSF Railway 2294 leads the Kalispell Local west at Halfmoon, just west of Columbia Falls, on a snowy Monday afternoon. December 6, 2021.
The Adult male Red heads are perhaps the easiest to recognize in the open water of lakes and coast lines. There cinnamon colored heads and subtle body markings make them easily identifiable. A bird found mainly on the plains and the western USA can some times be found on the North East. They take Brood parasitism to another level, when they will lay there eggs in not just other ducks nest but even other Red Heads. Reports exist of them laying eggs in even Northern Harrier nest, probably not the smartest idea.
Taking it all in at Lost Dutchman State Park in the Superstition Mountains. A wonderful a scenic place to hike, full of desert stuff.
Canadian Pacific EMD FP7 No. 1400, leading the Royal Canadian Pacific passenger train, opens it up leaving Fort Macleod, Alberta, as it heads for Lethbridge on September 22, 2002.
This dashing male Hooded Oriole has just arrived to nest in the national forest behind my home. I rolled out the welcome mat with oriole feeders, but the honey bees got there first, like they’d RSVP’d weeks ago. I’ve tried diluted nectar, tea tree oil, bee guards, relocating the feeders like a shell game, and even set up a sugary decoy buffet to lure the bees away. No dice. Still, he struck this perfect pose before vanishing into the trees.
All around Trentham Gardens are a series of fairy sculptures, there's a great kids map of where to find them and tick them off that you can pick up in reception and my grandaughters love it!
They are the creations of local artist Robin Wright and made from stainless steel wire and galvanised wire. Really amzing works of art.
They are not the easiest things to photograph and bring any kind of interest but here's one, it's fixed by a rod at the base of the watering can to make it appear like the fairy is running across the surface of the lake. I hope I've done it some justice!
Are you ready for Winter?
Union Pacific's Roseville - North Platte manifest freight encounters fresh powder on the right of way in Weber Canyon, Utah on Feb. 21, 2011.
No, not an extra one ... we're just looking after him for the week .. 4 months and having great fun particularly with Smudge!
Wanted to do a long exposure image and thought I'd try this . It wasn't easy!

A dash of Pink
-Annette Phillip-
Dull does not become me. Pale, monotonous I laugh at, for they never defined me.
A world in black and white would cause me to shrivel up and die, for I am as bright as the brightest butterfly.
The little girl inside me screams to show off the colors that make a girl girly,
a woman a woman.
The color pink is my absolute favorite, it brings out the very essence of who I have become.
The little girl who loved pink candy cane, pink bubblicious bubble gum which made the biggest pink bubbles no one could miss.
Pink skirts, pink shorts and my dazzling pink sunglasses made me look like a princess from another era.
The sheer color of pink, and the flamboyance nature that it adorns with that dazzling ray of different shades.
The world would be a simpler place if colors were lighter for it would bring about so much laughter.
A night on the town and ready to make a splash is what it's about.
How about a blue dress and what accessories could I wear to make me look so debonair?
I got it, what goes with blue? Why pink is a good mix.
Pink pumps, pink bracelets would catch someone's eye.
Definitely not blah looking, more like dazzle, razzle superstar in the making.
The trees are green and that's amazing, the clouds are white and that's also amazing.
The earth is brown, the sea is blue but without a dash of rose pink, ruby pink, ultra pink and creamy pink tell me where would we be?
In a world lacking in fashion, pizazz, creativity, no future insight to vanity.
We need flair and dramatics, fashionistas in our market and I propose to get us started.
We need to paint the town and make it look oh so darn Pinktastic.

With an EMD SD60 sandwiched between a quartet of GE C40-8s, an APLAZ stack train glides down Boulter Summit through Tintic Valley, Utah the afternoon of March 31, 1990. Parked along the track, my 1990 VW Corrado was new at the time. I quickly realized it was a wonder to drive on curvy paved roadways, and terrible on rough and tumble UP access roads.
This was such an amazing day. I'm still finding shots from spots I don't remember stopping at on this crazy adventure
So here's another from our epic high speed westbound chase of Montana Rail Link’s Laurel Bozeman freight (LAUBOZ) which makes a 250 mile round trip turn between its namesake yards five days a week. I'm slowly filling in the gaps from the chase and here's another simple one west of the tiny community of Greycliff at about MP 70.8 on MRL's 2nd Subdivision with the 9322 ft passing siding visible.
Unopposed the whole way, this train just flew on clear blocks for 100 miles excepting one brief pause to get past a signal gang at Park City working to kill off the the searchlights. It was a challenge at times trying to keep up with the pair of rebuild SD40-2XRs MRL 263 and 250. The former was originally built as a straight SD40 in Apr. 1966 as CNW 891 and the latter as an SD40-2 in Apr. 1974 as BN 6377.
Countless articles have been written about the MRL over the past 35 years of its existence and if you care to learn more download this great set courtesy of Trains Magazine:

Union Pacific’s hot NPLAZ navigates the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains near Erda, Utah the evening of Aug. 14, 1993.
IRM's former Chicago and North Western SD40-2 6847 was zipping along during one of IRM's Diesel Day event in 2014.
Not many SD40-2s have been preserved so far, so thanks to Union Pacific and the IRM for making it happen.
Five Super Fleet warbonnet GE B40-8Ws power Santa Fe’s QNYLA train over the Spoon River at Dahinda, Illinois, on February 17, 1991.
This scene depicts the private clubs where gay men and women met in secret in the 1950s. Inspired by the beautiful and moving series (and novel) Fellow Travelers.
Huge thank you to the dashingly handsome Semmy Exonar for being my clandestine collaborator.
Here's Semmy's take: www.flickr.com/photos/200614280@N07/54184915586/in/datepo...
The set was built in-world.
Built for the Cotton Belt in 1988 as SSW 8049, former Union Pacific B40-8 1848 is perhaps one of the "newest" locomotives preserved in a museum.
Donated to the IRM by the UP, the 1848 was doing its thing on the IRM's main line in 2014. Hopefully someday the Dash Eight will once again wear the scarlet and grey instead of what it wears now.
