A first for species for me handfeeding in my adult life
again- amazing that there is not a single documented record on the Island for this species
It’s all about fun, right? This and image shot form Wyndham’s hotel in downtown Chicago. It was a night well spent and I really wanted to capture this frame from this perspective. Shooting from this location was highly anticipated and I was prepared to wait as much as it takes to get this frame. My OCD was never really fully satisfied with the obstructed views from London House :) What do you think?
We've watched this buck since he was a six-point. Seldom see him outside the pre-rut/rut period. Ran across this unprocessed pic. I always wonder if I will see a particular buck the next fall. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Like someone returning to their old hometown after many years, the Illinois Central SD70 duo in charge of L517 (?) passing through Matteson, Illinois on CN's Chicago Sub encounters scenery both old and new, as it moves south towards CP Swede, the connection onto the Matteson Loop which will take it onto the former EJ&E to Kirk Yard.
A grainer running 1x1 heads south through the colorful Mississippi River valley in Northeast Iowa. Though not Rich Mountain, the KCS GEVO doesn't look too out of place here on the Marquette Sub.
I went back to a location I've shot on multiple occasions in the past, with the hopes of finally capturing a scene that does this simple cascade justice.
The internet by now is very familiar with this powerset associated with older signals, as 3115 made a memorable trek down to Ohio this year past some vintage CPL's. Here it is however in Paris, Ontario passing under one of the former signal bridges for Paris Junction.

Entry #8
I understand that it's commonly believed that only witches possess familiars, but I'm convinced that this newfound furry companion of mine is a familiar soul I've encountered in a previous life, now returned as my guardian. So maybe we Fae's can have them too... I'll have to check in with Mother Gaia.
Our first encounter was serendipitous. I was relentlessly pursuing something that was using rogue magic and evaded capture, utterly drained and near the point of exhaustion. My wings struggled to carry me, and I sought respite against what appeared to be the grandest tree within the forest. I wearily turned my head to the left, my eyes heavy with fatigue, and there she sat, gazing at me with those captivating, oversized emerald eyes. Her tail quivered with anticipation as she approached, brushing gently against my face and nuzzling me. A message permeated my thoughts, which read, "Cease your pursuit, take a breath, and rest." I drifted into slumber, and she faithfully remained by my side, a steadfast presence ever since.
Her name is Ophelia.
The modern version styled of the Instamatic now called an Ektar , can you believe , a 35mm film camera , this one you have to load with the conventional 35mm roll canister . The old Instamatic had a plastic cassette which you popped in the back of the camera and just wound on the film until it stopped bringing up the first frame which appeared as number 1 shown in a small portal at the back of the camera . The above now cost $49.99 . I didn't ask was the camera supplied with a film at that price . What was once is now in fashion again if you want to shoot film on a budget . .

The eagle of time sweeps across the years, Dante muses, blessing some, cursing others, and individuals must attempt to harness warmer winds when they can, as well as fend off gales.

Delaware Lackawanna BR-1 cruises over the former D&H line to Carbondale at Green Ridge. Coincidentally, the first and last motors on this train, the Lehigh Valley painted C420 no. 414 and GVT corporate colored 405 are both former D&H veterans.
