I finally went to some places I have been thinking about for months. This was more of a test session and exercise shooting urban in a run and gun style. I did not want to get my camera stolen and last night I found almost no worries of that happening. I was always aware of my surroundings and it was a rush walking around the dark areas to see the bright ones.

For all these years of Arachtober, I've seen some of you posting these green beauties and wished I could see one myself. Last November in Texas, I got my wish! As soon as I spotted her there, clutching her eggsac below protective bent leaves, I became giddy and did a little dance so that my father had to stop and ask me what was so exciting.
I told him all of this and he became appreciative with me, as we both bent down in an attempt to get a good look at her. I saw several more during my week in south Texas, but this was my first.
A photo with my index finger for scale is posted in the first comment below. She was much bigger than several small species of lynx spiders I find near my house.

I have finally captured a Double-crested Cormorant yawning. Even though I observe them often every year waiting for them to open their mouth so I can capture this wonderful blue, it finally happened... that is several years of waiting and hope!!!! This is a cropped image as it was a bit out of my range unfortunately.
Purrcy is allowed back into the sunroom... only 8 chrysalis left and he can't get near them...
Today I released 17...

37901 'Mirlees Pioneer' may have been out for a while but this is the first time Ive managed to fott it since reactivation.
The trainload metals 'Siphon' is seen at East Goscote with 465905 and 466010 behind heading for scrap as 5Q65 Ely to Kingsbury
After waiting for 1-2 hours early this morning for the fog to clear .. it eventually did, and I spent a further 2 hours taking photos ... A long day, but worth it :)
Finally recovered from being sick and was able to go out and find some foliage yesterday - I explored Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond, and the Arboretum. Fall color is starting to get going, though most of the trees were still green.
I'm sad that I missed my planned hike in New Hampshire a week ago due to illness, but now that I'm recovered I can try to find fall color in the Boston area. I have a whole list of places to try and it's hard to decide between them - if you see any particularly good spots, let me know!
Finally, I have had a chance to take a few photos, today.

I am dripping wet...not an easy job...curses on barbie! she put a spell on these shoes, i am sure of it!!
As seen in the previous photograph, this chair has needed a new seat cover for a long time. I thought I'd show the cute fabric print and give a shoot-out to Spoonflower.com. You choose a pattern and then they print it on the type of fabric you select. I think the sturdy cotton I picked gives it a feeling of vintage barkcloth.
After I filled the holes in the seat, I added "elbow patches" of linen over the areas the cats liked scratching the best--to slow down future damage--before the final fabric covering.
After trying to get this shot at Lemoyne for a good long while, G840-24 makes it happen as they roll east on the C&O with a standard cab GE leading the way.
On a totally unrelated note, there was a locomotive phone wrapped around the code line to my right that had been ripped out and thrown.
Her final stop was Cwmbran, a town with a lively atmosphere. Clara explored shops and cafés, and savored the bustling city life before heading back to Aberwyl to conclude her journey.
When Clara returned to Aberwyl, she realized how rich and diverse Auneland was. The combination of natural beauty, culture, history, and hospitality had left a profound impression on her. She knew she would someday return to this enchanting land, which had now captured a special place in her heart.
Photo's placed on Flickr or not so sharp and crisp as they are in Photoshop!!!
Any ideas why?
Finally he has been completed.... 1st day of novena for Christ the King... the very first image i carved unsupervised.....
After shooting westbound Rio Grande train 197 in cloudy light at Cotopaxi, Colorado, we chased it to the vicinity of Salida, where we encountered two eastbound trains, including train 788, which we shot upon our return to Cotopaxi. The caboose of train 788 did yield a chance to get a sunny shot from my vantage point.
Finally a lovely sunny day again ! Sethi waited for me and Tofu to join him in the garden. I could do some garden work and the cats just had fun. :)
Finally, I spot one of the Azores out of my plane window as the sun is coming up. Not sure which one but we still an about an hour from being on the ground in Ponta Delgado. What a beautiful sight for a traveler.
