In service on Portland & Western's Harbor Turn, SDP40F DLMX 644 rolls through Bowers Jct., Oregon during January 2007. In July 2025, the locomotive was donated to the Illinois Railway Museum.
Side note: in my current collection of WPRR/PNWR images, this is the last one shot on slide film. It was likely Fuji Provia F. Everything after this was digital.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Reuzenbalsemien of Springbalsemien (Impatiens glandulifera)
Bestuiving vindt plaats door hommels, honingbijen en andere bestuivende insecten. Reuzenbalsemien wordt in Europa beschouwd als een ongewenste soort. Omdat de plant als snel groeiende eenjarige beektaluds kan domineren en in de herfst volledig afsterft, laat ze kale erosiegevoelige plekken na. Sinds juni 2012 is in Vlaanderen de VMM bezig met de bestrijding van deze exoot.
Ook in Nederland wordt de reuzenbalsemien als een buitengewoon ongewenste exoot beschouwd

The giant balsam or spring balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)
Pollination is done by bumblebees, honey bees and other pollinating insects. Giant balsam is considered an undesirable species in Europe. Because the plant can dominate as a fast-growing annual with brooks and dies completely in autumn, it leaves bare erosion-prone patches. Since June 2012, the VMM has been working in Flanders to combat this exotic species.
Giant balsam is also regarded as an extremely undesirable exotic species in the Netherlands
Die Mandarinente (Aix galericulata) ist eine auffallend bunte Entenart, die ursprĂĽnglich aus Ostasien stammt. Sie wurde jedoch in vielen Teilen der Welt, einschlieĂźlich Deutschland, eingebĂĽrgert. Seit den 1960er Jahren sind freilebende Mandarinenten in Deutschland zu beobachten, insbesondere in Parkanlagen und an Seen.
Die Männchen sind durch ihr prächtiges Gefieder leicht zu erkennen: Sie besitzen leuchtend orangefarbene "Segel" an den Flügeln, ein schillerndes Brustgefieder und einen auffälligen, roten Schnabel. Die Weibchen sind dezenter gefärbt, mit braun-grauen Tönen und weißen Flecken um die Augen.

The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a strikingly colorful duck species originally from East Asia. However, it has been naturalized in many parts of the world, including Germany. Since the 1960s, free-living mandarin ducks have been observed in Germany, especially in parks and lakes.
The males are easily recognized by their magnificent plumage: They have bright orange "sails" on their wings, iridescent breast plumage and a striking red beak. The females are more subtly colored, with brown-grey tones and white spots around the eyes.
I'm not a person after all. I'm simply this exotic being for people to observe and investigate.

That question was heard several times on our drive through a handful of small towns in Western Pa. on Saturday. When we told people it was a Lamborghini they all said "oh yeah". It's a lot of fun introducing people to the Aventador and seeing there reaction as our group of exotics drove by.

Well, those are two words that I wouldn’t normally use in the same sentence but the wonderful colours of the male Bullfinch certainly gives the impression of an exotic bird. As for the use of the term Barnsley, this photo was taken at the reserve of Old Moor which was built on the site of two former coal mines, extensive rail marshalling yards and coke ovens of Wath. Wath is located within the borough of Barnsley.

I know this gorgeous blossom as an Easter Cactus blossom, it shouldn't be blooming now, but it is!!! Lucky me, the plant is blooming on my living room windowsill ! Had to share its beauty with you! Please view large.
Sobald man genau hinschaut, tun sich in unseren Wäldern geradezu exotische Anblicke auf. So wie hier die Pilze auf einem Buchenstamm.

One of the butterflies I enjoy most here in Tennessee is one that I did not see in New York at all: the Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanilla).
It is not rare here, but the underwing pattern reminds me of the pictures I have seen of tropical rainforest butterflies. Especially on fresh individuals like this one, the delicately bordered, large white spots and the colorful gradient of rose pink to orange is just stunning!
