As we were doing the final clean up of the yard today, we saw this one remaining bumblebee on the last remaining gaillardia. He was moving rather slow, as it was a bit chilly out, but the never the less, I manged to squeeze off a few shots before he slowly climbed down and disappeared into the undergrowth.
I couldn't wait any longer for Death Star Final Duel (75083) to be released, so I went ahead and made a shot! Which sets are you going to get from the 2015 LEGO Star Wars summer wave? :D
Hope you like it!
(Sorry if the photo isn't very clear, I need to get a new camera)
Etihad Airways is based in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
I don't know where this plane was arriving from as it passed over my head on its way into Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
A brief moment later I felt the rush of air buffeting me from the jetwash and the distinctive smell of kerosene filled the air.
This is one of the pictures of my recent sunset photo that i still have because it was saved in the other hard disk.

The summer is quickly approaching which means longer, warmer days. Most everyone knows that spring in the maritimes is filled with dark and dreary days, often accompanied by showers. May 11th was an exception to the rule! My wife and I were out running errands for the day and the forecast appeared as if it would remain promising for the evening hours. Taking full advantage of some early evening golden light, we headed for Shearwater in hopes of seeing 509. Everything came together as the crew of L509 can be seen doubling onto their transfer of autos to take back to Dartmouth Yard drawing a GP38-2W and a GP40-2W for power.

The final loaded Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus Train rolls through the Harrison station and into New York City behind two ACS-64 locomotives, including #642.
The other train was already empty and getting ready to head South by this time, and it was strange to think this would be the final time we'd get to see circus performers waving from their vestibules as the train passed by. I'm not sure if those on the platform waiting for the subway were aware of this.
New York was the place to be on this day, as we managed to not only catch both RBBB circus trains, but the James E. Strates carnival train as well.
"Pras bandas do poente,
ergueu-se uma barra,
calou-se a cigarra,
assim de repente
e um som diferente
ponteou de guitarra
Lá longe, bem longe,
faísca e troveja,
silêncio de igreja
com ecos de bronze
nas preces do monge,
no amém do assim seja"
Trecho de "Final de seca", de Jayme Caetano Braun
Jaguarão, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
I saw the universe when I saw your beauty,
Mistakenly I plucked you from your stem when I shouldn't have,
Pricked by your thorns I bled and hesitated briefly, but I did not stop..
I gave you all my love but that is not what you needed,
Just in water I kept you but that was not enough for you to live,
As you faded slowly I faded too, losing myself in the grief that I caused.
It took so little time to love you, to yearn your scent.. how can this be?
Dry red rose bloom can you ever come back?
Hear the sound of my plea, I need you!
There is no law in the matters of the heart, with you my heart yearns to be;
If you leave please take me with you for you are the final rose for me.

Did a similar photo several years back. With new equipment and a wider angle lens, I decided to try again ...
First attempt:

Alas, this is the final photo of the batch that Ray Yourdon gave me from his mother's collection of photos in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.
I've enjoyed sharing them with you; hope you have enjoyed looking at this small piece of history ...
Ray Yourdon's comment on this photo: "Uncle Frank (Mabel's youngest brother), Ike, Frank's wife, and mystery woman."
Aside from that, I have no idea when or where this photo was taken
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
Having been hired in for a few unit moves by GBRf, 37521 [D6817] heads through Barrow On Soar with the final move on loan before heading back to LSL with 5Q90 Derby Litchurch Lane to Wembley InterCity Depot, conveying GA 720530, with 37688 [D6851] Great Rocks on the rear.
When Formosa lilies reach the end of their life cycle, their heads droop and eventually fall. This photograph was taken on a Fuji X-E3 but the lens I used was unusual, to say the least. A friend (thanks John) gave me an adaptor which allows me to shoot with lenses made for Bronica ETR bodies. This shot was taken with the PE100mm f/4 macro lens @ f/22. The bokeh is not great, but I like the slightly soft rendition that is characteristic of older lenses.
UP 4014 is on the final stretch home to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Many chasers can be seen parked along and pacing along the train on Otto Road at Borie, Wyoming.
Final day of our shore vacation. Had a full week of amazing weather! Can't wait to cull through some three thousand shots and post a few i'm really proud of. It felt so good to pull out the Nikon and start shooting again after a long dry spell. The posted shots are all sooc my Samsung smartphone. Thanks for the comments- I've missed being in touch with Flickr world!
