On the far right of the frame the head brakeman on extra 734 west works to get the switch after digging and sweeping the points to get 734 out on the main to head to the west end of the yard at Trout Lake. At the west end the process will be repeated 4 more times before 734 can gather up its Marquette bound freight and back around the SW wye to get out of town. This slide was shot in January 1985 and was in a box I'd inadvertently tossed in with traders.

This young female couldn't get enough mineral salts from the surface dust, and so knelt down and used her tusk to dig into the soil and loosen it..

Today is my birthday and to say I'm unwell is a bit of an understatement. I have 2 of the children home ill as well as an ill husband. So thought I would have a little look through my archives and this is what I found. I hope you all like it x

The chase is on. Two Red Fox kit siblings (Vulpes vulpes) chase in play but they always stay close to the entrance to their den. Image taken in Jackson County, Colorado.
Carré exudes innocence. I'd first met her years ago, through a friend, and that was always (having never really had a conversation with her) the impression that I came away with.
But then she joined my stable of models, we had several conversations of increasing depth, and I realized that image of innocence belied a deep reservoir of things far more complex.
And I'd like to think that shows from shoot to shoot, that each time we shoot I get closer and closer to some core truths about her in my photographs.
Which is probably why I enjoy photographing her so much, because every time I do, there's this intent of scratching away at the surface, to get to know her better, to display something more significant in the images.
As they once said in The State, I seek knowledge, and its bastard son, Truth.
Shot of Carré grinning (probably because I am hysterical) up at the blog: blog.louobedlam.com/post/60111487/as-you-may-or-may-not-k...

mileage 23
because my tire and odometer are being changed, I will be back to '0' on the next ride so remember this number, 87. I'll call this the pre-season and tack that mileage on at the end of the season.
But until it warms up again, I'll be picking up sticks.
"Down on the left a busy little digging mechanism had come into view, emitting jets of green vapour and working its way round the pit, excavating and embanking in a methodical and discriminating manner. This it was which had caused the regular beating noise, and the rhythmic shocks that had kept our ruinous refuge quivering. It piped and whistled as it worked. So far as I could see, the thing was without a directing Martian at all..."

In the trees by the Holme Observatory this Goldfinch was happily feeding on pine seeds sheltered from the winds.
Please help identify this lovely bird. It's not that small, about the size of a pigeon....
With a bit of "digging" on my part, it could be a female Northern flicker.
Sometimes Polar Bears will pound and dig at the hard snow to get at roots or voles for some dietary supplements before they head to the mouth of the Churchill River for seal hunting.
