Another, decidedly more adorable, creature at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. He's a flying squirrel - for some reason stationed in the little gift shop! He did appear unwell, though again, we didn't learn the reason for his stay there.

For the last few years I thought I had missed out completely on the pre-belle KCS. As I wasn't able to travel extensively during the mid 2000's when gray SD40 variants were the norm, I looked from afar. With the SD70ACe's and GEVO's, it was all but cemented.
But after driving all the way down to the end of United States land mass in Gulfport, Mississippi, I was thoroughly pleased to feast my eyes on three gray SD's on the sand track. The 651 is a showstopper for most, and while I do like it, I couldn't be happier with it absent. The leader was a very unexpected surprise, and the best of the bunch in terms of paint to boot. Not only does it sport the proper KCS plate on the nose, but it also maintains the funky flexicoil shock struts that KCS found necessary on many of their SD40-3's.
The crew wastes little time getting out of Gulfport this morning, and is shown here twisting to the NE enough to get decent light in the process. Tall trees and gorgeous blue skies made Mississippi a nice location as is, but the three EMD's really drove it home. The former IC is a hilly and twisting piece of railroad that allows the thunderous pulse of EMD 645's to smother the surrounding landscape even with a short train. That was found out as I paced these guys on their way to and from Hattiesburg through the tall pines and twisting back roads, having as fun an experience as I can remember in the process. The bucket list is getting shorter.
I would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Thank you for all the favourites, comments and interesting conversations over the past year, fingers crossed that 2016 will be a great year for Butterflies and Moths.
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

I only allow human eyes about twice a year, for a few minutes to a few hours. It's because I'm inherently evil. The perspective distortion makes my jaw-line look noticeably smaller.

Pepper: what if they never arrive?
Me: YOU stay with me hahahahaha
For the basic setup, I placed the camera in front of the kitchen faucet, and opened the faucet until it dripped every second or so. To stop the motion as crisply as possible, I used an off camera flash as the main lighting: Because the flash is so very fast (1/10,000 of a second), it tends to freeze the motion of the water, making for a more crisp shot.
I wanted a background that would look good in black and white (i.e. something simple), so I printed "H2O" onto a piece of paper, placed behind the faucet. If you focus "through" the water, the drops act as a lens, allowing you to see the background through the water.
Once I had everything set up, it was mostly a matter of taking a bunch of shots (100 or so?) until I got the timing right, and a "pretty" looking drop.

These cute 3 kids were seen at our local mall, dressed in the same Christmas style PJ's. They were happy with some small treats after having visited Santa, but I'm sure were anxiously waiting for more at Christmas time. The pyjamas had flaps at the back with the inscription "Happy Christmas". The kids were so cute!
I asked if the boys were twins and if I could take this photo of the entire family; there was no objection but I kept my distance for more privacy reasons and to get the entire family group into my frame.
Headed away for the weekend with a group of photographers to visit a sunflower farm..... The sunflowers are due to be harvested tomorrow and as you can see they were feeling a little down in the dumps, which was a far cry from how we were feeling.
Thanks guys for a great weekend and special mention to Mike for all your tips.... and jokes...
[I moved this cabinet card up to the head of the line because somebody favorited it today, and many of my new followers probably haven't seen it. When it comes to pure greatness, here you are. This is just a fabulous cabinet card. I paid a pretty penny for it back in the day, like, a lot of money, but I still think it was money well spent. A relative of Mrs. Robinson contacted me to tell me about her, but thank goodness she didn't want the photo back. I fall in love quite easily. I fell in love with Mrs. Robinson, and though my hopes are unrequited, I am still her eternal slave.]
I bought this card from an Internet dealer (not Ebay). He had posted the card, as he does every two weeks, and put a price on it, and no one had bought it. The photos are posted on Sunday, and the first person who says he will pay the money gets the photo. I told the dealer I was tempted, and he emailed back and urged me to buy it. Naturally, I ended up buying it, even though it was priced very high. I've paid more for a photo, but that was on Ebay. I'm not going to say how much I paid for this, but it was a lot.
On the one hand, you could say I overpaid. I mean, it's just a photo of a woman looking in a mirror. The photo has some fingerprint smudges, it's kind of plain, barren, there's not a lot going on, and though I find this woman attractive enough, she's not a stunning (a favorite Ebay seller's word) beauty. I mean, it's just a nice photograph---why did I waste my money?
I paid that money because the photograph is astonishingly modern. It's like the past leapfrogged the present and jumped into the future. I mean, this woman is dead, and there she is, looking right at us, right now, not a hundred years ago, or however long ago it was.
Did she know that we would be looking at her? Why isn't she smiling? I think she isn't smiling because she's saying "I Lived." She's saying, "I'm Living." She's saying, "I'm Alive." And of course she's not alive. But she is alive.
Perhaps I bought the photograph because it distills into a single artifact so much of what draws me to old photographs (and yes, of course, I find her attractive).
I don't think the seller had done a lot of research on Wirt Robinson. Maybe one of you who has access to genealogical resources could find her first name for me. Perhaps there was more than one "Wirt Robinson." However, I found information on only one, and since the one I found was a good one, I didn't look any further.
Wirt Robinson was in the Army, and he taught at West Point. He wrote a book which seems to be still in print, with the wonderful title "Notes On The Circumstances Of A Moving Projectile." Apparently, when he wasn't teaching at West Point, he was off in the tropics, looking at birds. Somewhere (ART_NAHPRO perhaps will find it for us) there is a book he wrote, or illustrated, about birds in the forests of Venezuela. How he could have borne the absence of Mrs. Wirt Robinson is beyond me. Perhaps the experience of her was so rich, so filling, so extravagant, that he could only take a little bit at a time, like foie gras or something. From the looks of things, I would guess that Mrs. Robinson was extremely sensitive in that little square inch just behind her ear lobe. They say that the universe is so vast that out there somewhere there is another planet where they speak English. If that is so, perhaps there is another planet out there where Mrs. Robinson and mrwaterslide might meet and fall in love (of course, not-wanting her to be Mrs. Robinson, but Amelia Arnold, or whatever her maiden name was.)
I have this idea of what Wirt Robinson was like. He must have been an academic sort of fellow, but, like Mr. Chips, he was that lucky fellow who met the love of his life, and won her heart, as she had won his. Unlike Mr. Chips, I hope his love endured in the earthly realm, and lasted to old age. There would have been fires in the fireplace, and sherry, and croquet perhaps, and the triumphs and sadnesses of students who came and went (it seems that Wirt Robinson lived in to the 20's though I haven't found a date of death.)
One last little tidbit, that I saw once and now can't find again---apparently at West Point there is a little memorial to Wirt Robinson, and it seems, though I haven't been able to find a picture, that it is a statue of a bunch of ducks. I really hope you're allowed to go there and see it.

So much in this scene may change in the near future as the former Pennsy signals at Port Royal will disappear once PTC is cut in, and the SD80MAC fleet re scheduled for rebuilding in the near future as well to SD80ACUs. Even the bridge in this scene may be replaced.

Sorry for another bubble pic this week! What I had planned didn't work out. I bought these "crayola colored bubbles" but as you can see in this pic...they just looked like normal bubbles lol. The videos, pics, etc advertising the product is totally false advertising. The only thing colored is the solution, other than that, I can't even tell which one is blue, yellow, and pink here....haha. Totally lame and a waste of money. :P I might try this idea again with a different bubble brand or different lighting. Otherwise I'm returning the machine because I already have a regular bubble machine...not sure what the point is of having 3 different pots for the wands on the machine to get one of each color when they all end up looking the same in the air.

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
You're on this date with me
The pickings have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've been a lady, to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

This is my next image in the abc's of photography series I am doing for myself. All frames were shot at f 7.1. I is for ISO or International Organization of Standardization. I honestly rarely control this on my camera; setting my camera to ISO 100 or 200 and then adjusting my aperture, shutter, or both. There are exceptions were I would toy with it though. First, I might adjust ISO during a long exposure at night, if it were particularly dark, and I wanted to shoot something like star trails or the aurora. Alternatively, on a super bright day, like one of those super cold but bright winter days or on a white sandy beach in the summer. I can honestly say I have never pushed the ISO to 6400 or 12800 before today. If you are interested in reading more on ISO this little article is concise.
