Candy in the deep sea of sunflowers....
in the sunlight coming from beyond the surface of this green ocean, a pretty cool place to run and hide!
The first of the four Peregrine Falcon fledglings is taking his first, short flight. He might be the first born too, out of the nest one day before the other three.
Note that there are still many down feathers under the wings and on top of his head.
Thanks for stopping by.
A Chicago & North Western coal empty heads south out of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on December 11, 1993. Brand new C&NW GE C44-9W No. 8603 is on its very first revenue trip, paired up with much grittier C&NW EMD GP7 No. 4323, with 107 cars.
Tecumseh, Nebraska
Another picture in my series of rural Nebraska churches photographed at night. This is the last of the buildings I took pictures of in Tecumseh. I decided that since I had made the long drive to Tecumseh in the middle of the night, I was going to make it worthwhile by visiting all of the churches in town. I liked the lit up stained glass windows at this church.
This is an HDR bracketed exposure of 4 photos of the building and the surrounding area. The HDR composite was put together in Lightroom. The sky is a composite of 8 photos taken at 20 seconds, ISO 1600, for noise reduction. The sky photos were taken on my way home about 20 miles outside of town get away from the light pollution of any nearby towns.
The sky photos were composited in Photoshop and the overall picture was composited in Photoshop.
First Water Cove. Canyon Lake Arizona. The Fountain Grass growing along the shore is an invasive species of grass. It's pretty, but not exactly a good thing. Way to many invasive non native plants in Arizona.
Log 2.002.1: Turned out to be a planet, no signs of intelligent life at this point. That means no hope in fixing what was broken from the wormhole jump. There are some interesting plants and minerals here, and I'm pretty sure the ship can refine some of them into fuel. The air isn't breathable, so I've got to keep my time on the surface short and only get what I need.
Fortunately, this was the day after we flew back from the east coast, so our flight wasn't delayed. It was a little early for sticking snow here, and was only a couple of inches. Still, it made the yard look wintery. Of course being the coastal northwest, it melted into rain the next day.
A late appearance of lake ice is likely due to the ever changing climate. The waterfowl must be satisfied with the remaining open spots or must move on. The pandemic makes large stretches of shoreline empty of human presence although cold temperatures have the same effect.
There is a distant and lingering cloud bank.
Lake Michigan shoreline.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The first snow storm of the winter hit us harder than forecasted, so I took the camera along to church in hopes of catching the regular westbound after mass.
I started heading east expecting to intercept BICB but instead caught up to CBBI holding at 55th Street Moline for permission into Silvis yard. I got a few shots of CBBI into Silvis then headed home as BICB was going to be a while yet before departing.
The snow encrusted 506 and 509 bring CBBI-03 through the switches at 7th Street East Moline.
December 4, 2016.
Last week we had the first snow, just for a day and then the snow line receded up the mountain again. There were still leaves on some of the trees which gave the scene a little bit of colour and I thought it looked nice.
It's been so busy here this November, I will try and catch up now (I think I said this before)
First Creek in Chambers Gully in the Cleland Conservation Park in South Australia. This creek flows from here, through Hazelwood Park where we walk our dog and on to the Torrens river.

The nest was about 4-5 m (15 ft) to camera left, and this little goldfinch had just taken it's maiden flight. Mama took awhile to bring it some food, so it sat there and nodded off. Centre Wellington, Ontario. August17, 2022.
