Another fun night for the crew of WAPO; not only is it snowing, but two of their five engines have already died less than ten miles out of Waterville. They're still moving along though, as they're about to roll by MP128 in Belgrade, with SD40-2M 613 leading the way, and about sixty cars trailing it.

It was a beautiful clear sunrise at the Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park. But you pay the price for the high pressure system over the area...the temperature was -9 degrees F (-23 C)!

'Last Sun' and 'First Light' is a series of photos taken on Dec. 31, 2022 and Jan. 1st, 2023.

On both days, I used a fixed camera setting to take the photos, resulting sometimes in over- or underexposure.

 

It is interesting how the fixed settings (aperture, exposure time and iso) reflect the mood, lightness or dimness of the respective days.

 

'Last Sun' was taken with a 35mm lens, iso 100, f.8 and 1/60.

'First Light' was taken with a 70-200mm lens, iso 160 (400 for the darkest shades), f.4 and 1/200.

 

No cropping (3x2) except occasional 4x3.

First swan this year Sucha a graceful bird as always.

 

Happy Friday!

The first glimpse of the Isle of Skye from Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland. The Red Hills in fine view as The Skye Bridge beckons and a tantalising glimpse of The Cuillin Hills shrouded in cloud.

 

This was my first glimpse of this magical island and I wanted to share this with you - Skye truly is magical and lives up to it's name as The Misty Isle.

 

Enjoy the view with me and stay safe my Flickr friends!

Here's a slightly wider view taken shortly after the previous post. The ice was close to shore and all to the left, probably blown there overnight. Fortunately the wind died down for the morning reflections.

First real snow of the Winter season here in Piedmont Virginia, predicted to accumulate to maybe an inch. Snapped the photo quick. Come morning it will be gone.

first light

 

I ran for miles through the deeper, darker part of the forest until I finally saw the first light. Totally breathless, but happy I took this picture. With sharpened senses, I enjoyed this dream-like moment

 

Happy Weekend out there :-)

It's early November and the morning air is downright chilly after an overnight snowfall, but it's business as usual at the Horicon terminal, as the Janesville bound freight T4H prepares to depart Horicon.

The first yellow leaf I saw today was sitting on a rock in a stream.

 

The Nooksack tribe says that before the Europeans arrived, you could walk across the water on the backs of the fish. This is what they mean.

 

Currently, the tribes and the local fisheries a fighting Big Oil and Big Coal to stop the transport of toxic chemicals through sacred waters. They want to build the world's largest coal dump on sacred Lummi burial grounds, which are also above a herring breeding spot. They have skirted state regulations to transport toxic oil bombs by rail through our county.

sunrise @ 7:11 am

was having a lovely walk with 2 of my friends, and our 7 German shepherds, when this alpaca came to say hello, all 7 German shepherds sat at the fence calmly while the alpaca greeted them one by one, was such a beautiful moment and shows how gentle German shepherds can be, wish i could have got in a better position to take the photo but wanted to catch the moment quickly and didnt want to scare the alpaca, I wasn't quite quick enough to capture the moment my white GSD was nose to nose with the alpaca, but still think its a sweet photo.

I went out early in the morning, looking for large wildlife to photograph. In June, grizzly bear is the primary target, but I'll gladly settle for moose, elk or wolf.

 

It was another of those frustrating days, where you see fresh bear scat everywhere but no bears. A solitary elk crossing the road, too far in the distance for photos and a moose that was just teasing me but I knew I would have to be lucky to get a photo.

 

I had stopped a couple hundred meters from the moose and was down in the ditch, hoping that he would keep moving in my direction. Alas, he trotted off into the trees and although I took some photos, none was worth keeping. I just sat there thinking what a frustrating morning it had been.

 

Then I looked over and saw this young red squirrel on the ground, enjoying a snack. I am sure that out here, in the middle of nowhere, this squirrel had never seen a human before. I did this nonchalant thing that works with some animals, where you look the other way but leisurely creep towards them. Surprisingly, she didn't run away, even as I laid in the grass just a couple of meters away and slowly swung the camera her way.

 

We spent a few minutes together, so the morning wasn't wasted after all. I wonder what story the squirrel told when she went back to the trees.

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else."

My first snowflake picture ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ

As well as the first snowfall of the season.

Taken at 5x with the Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. Still getting the hang of these two, but the results are super rewarding!
