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.
Not normally the side of Bozeman Hill that the helpers are used to digging in on, this helper set is nevertheless attacking the west slope of Bozeman with gusto as they roll through West End with the Logan Local in tow. Just behind me is Bozeman Tunnel and the crest of the hill. Fun fact, the wooden wall just visible between the pine trees is home to number of Grizzly Bears, a neat to place to visit when in the area.
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.

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.

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.
Even though the tree had blown down over the winter, this Great Spotted Woodpecker was still going to create a nest hole. One to keep an eye on, if this is a nest site.
American robin at the park thrashing leaves in the heavy shade next to a large rock and throwing them everywhere. It kept doing this over and over, assume trying to find a worm or grub. Missed getting the flying leaves and dirt.
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!

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!
I know, it's cheap ..... it is a lazy sunday and it's raining outside. While i was going trough the archives i came across this and i couldn't resist. So here is my husband wearing his wooden shoes...
