I need some colours in my stream. Photo taken August 2015.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
We were digging ourselves out before the sun came up. Stu will get the snowblower out later and finish the front.
A quartet of Utah motors lug a heavy coal train up the east slope of Soldier Summit. With a 6-unit set of mid-train helpers cut-in this was a fabulous train to chase up the hill. These units were usually remarkably clean and made for great photography. The nice thing about the Utah during this time period was you could count on an eastbound empty out of Provo in the morning and the loaded train would head west in the afternoon. Add in the Grande trains and Soldier Summit was a special part of many of my photography trips.
Conditions weren't great today so I switched my plan for a short drive along nearby farmland. Much to my surprise, I was able to nail my first sighting of a pack of Redwings. There were 20 or so alongside a group of Song Thrushes, Fieldfare and Starlings, all digging for worms.
With the striped faces and brightly coloured flanks, the difference compared to the other similar members of the Thrush family is striking.
Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.
Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.
Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.
These Galahs were digging away at the little bit of grass hoping to find something to eat. This was taken at the rest stop along Lake George.
Just digging back into the archives and I came across this one from a memorable weekend in the Lakes with some great guys. I overlooked it for processing at the time in preference for the more dramatic. But this image has something that it didn’t when I made it, a future me. ‘I have changed’. I have grown into it! That is the marvellous thing about photography; you can enjoy work you started years previously and keep relieving and nurturing the small sparks of yet to be realised ideas. Anyway, I get the feeling that some of the people who were there at the time already had a head start on me, but life is a journey right, and creatively a very enjoyable one at that.

A couple of toads hang out in one of my potted plants. Because the soil is so dark, they darken themselves to match.
At that time I wrote down this "Digging for gold" idea here and kept my eyes open for an excavator and at some point I stumbled upon this one by chance and could not believe I finally found one.
With only one single flashlight and a telescopic pole, I painted this 10 meter rainbow in front of the excavator.
Unfortunately, I did not find any gold here, but the joy over the excavator was the same!
The Dredger at Wells Next the sea digging the channel but not looking for gold. The Sheringham Shoal Windfarm can be seen in the distance.
One of my little Greenie buddies digs deep in the water in a vain attempt to secure his next meal but comes up empty!! He was not having much luck and came up with every little twig and piece of debris in the area!!! He was persistent!! Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou!

There is no shortage of toys for either of the fuzzy babies in this house, now, if you ask either of them, they will most certainly have a very different opinion.
They each have their own bins and both can never quite find that perfect toy.
Sock will settle with a not-new-not-squeaky ball, but Fyero... well she's always sure to announce how unsatisfactory her toy selection truly is.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

"Dirty" Picture Challenge: It takes some muddy digging in the marsh to find the perfect oyster dinner for this American Oystercatcher.
