During a lull in a period of heavy rain, Galatea, in its new identity as Alberta, gets to grips with the long climb to Aisgill as it passes Stockber with the southbound Waverley of 23rd August 2020.
The LS&I is usually a very efficient railroad and trains move quick. I saw the storm approaching and figured there could be a neat shot, but I wouldn't be able to see them coming from my truck. Hiding under a tree the rain kept intensifying until it was a strong down pour. They were crawling trying to make the hill and it seemed like an eternity before they rolled around the corner into Queens. Soaked to the bone.
This Honey Bee, like one of many visits our garden several times a day to collect that much sought after gold to make into honey. The beauty of nature just amazes me !!
This image captures a Spotted Towhee digging through show looking for a morsel to snack on. I captured it in my yard in Lassen County, California, USA.
Working on shooting action and storytelling though I don't love the digging and muddy paws, I do like the flying gravel.
This is the first time I have seen a Spotted Sandpiper dig so deeply for food.

What turned out to be my personal favorite from my run up the Santa Barbara Subdivision following the LOF66/67 (Guadalupe Hauler). Was Union Pacific 2717 hitting the straight track in the middle of the siding at Devon at the Associated Road grade crossing. The train hit a PTC wall at Narlon (unknown switch position) which played to my advantage since I had begun to head to Surf but turned around due to dense fog. After the crew got PTC functioning again the train was back to working toward the top of the Casmalia Hills.The train is showing off a fairly good profile of what's heading into the Santa Maria Valley from empty reefers to a load of John Deere equipment.
I must admit that it does not smell like roses to lay down next to the roting vegetation while observing these peeps having a feast.... it is however a fascinating scene.
Got my slide scanner working again. Thought I might go back and grab a few for testing. GBW train 2 is working at Wisconsin Rapids, Wi on April 6, 1993

This little hoverfly is only about 3 millimeters in size. The flower itself is about an inch across. He was having a field day on this little aster.

Le marché, c'est l'occasion de fouiner au calme, un jour où rien ne presse !
Et de faire de beaux rêves bleus et consuméristes...
Mais bon : on est tous à la même enseigne ! :-))
Gus has a plan. Probably. It may involve rabbits. (No luck there). It may involve the UK’s antipode. That’s some way off the coast of New Zealand, but only if he follows a straight line. Or with some clever navigation he could be in Eastern Australia by Easter. If so I’ll message ahead so Bruce or Victoria can get lunch on.
Meanwhile you’ll note Freddie adopts his customary “supervisory role”. That's the management classes for you...
Saw this Spotted eagle ray on the start of a dive when he was searching for something to eat. I could get really close because he was so busy and did not noticed me.
