All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes

Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time

You love me but for all the wrong reasons

Am I somethin' to you and not someone?

'Cause I feel trapped on this pedestal you put me on

You tell me that I'm beautiful but I think that's an understatement

'Cause I am more than what I am to you

You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too

And I won't be confined to your point of view

I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in

'Cause my beauty's from within

"An antique is anything old with class."

John Bartlett

When I found this quotation, my first thought was, "I fit the description!" Then I realized I had the perfect image in mind ...hence this posting.

Antique perfume bottles have the most interesting shapes within the body of the container. Here's to holding on to family treasures.

As I am 'away' from Flickr due to a very busy 'other life' at the present, I thought a winter sunset just to stay in touch and say hello to all my contacts would be fitting.

I will be back into photography later in the year and must say I am missing it and have probably lost my mojo :-(

Continuing the unofficial Rock island theme I seem to have stumbled into...

In its short life, this railroad has already been captured from every possible angle above ground level. That being said, there was no way I was going to pass up a chance to grab my own shots; it's simply too far from home for my typical day trips. Thus, after a Thursday afternoon on the Fordyce & Princeton in Arkansas, I worked my way east to Cleveland, MS, and drove the remaining 45 minutes early the next morning.

The Mississippi Delta Railroad's two Rock-painted geeps sun themselves on a quiet Friday morning in Sumner, Mississippi. From the railroad's website: "The Mississippi Delta Railroad, MSDR, based in Sumner, MS, operates a total of 85 miles of track in Northwest MS from a connection with the Canadian National Railway at Swan Lake, MS." Unfortunately, the railroad didn't turn a wheel - except for a hi-rail truck - but it was worth a stop to get these while still clean and fresh. Just had to wait a couple hours for the shadows to recede a bit. Note NS (ex-SOU) MoW caboose #500000 behind the power, across the street.

A fitting end to my 2020 tour, because the first clouds I had seen all week started to roll in later in the morning and this was pretty much the end of it all.

I've got several folders full of photos that have not yet made the flickr "cut". It's not that they're bad images or that they displease me. The problem is that at any given moment, they just don't seem to fit in. And for me, the concept of fitting in is a moving target. What fits today may not fit tomorrow. And when something finally does fit, it may be totally too late. Just like a witty comeback that does not occur until days after someone says something to you. For me it's often a seasonal issue involving, for example, winter photos that seem wholly out of place once spring arrives. I prefer my photostream reflects the current moment, at least visually in terms of time of year. It's one of many limitations I place upon publication of photos that fortunately has no impact on my creation of them.

This photo's moment finally arrived this morning. A sunset view of nascent winter wheat, barely three inches tall, but appearing to tower under a twilight sky. I love seeing the individuality of the thin stalks. They work together to provide a monolith of green when viewed from a distance. Yet up close, each one seems to express its own shape and character. As always, shooting scenes of vibrant color under diminished lighting appeals to my sense of understating the obvious aspect in favor of a lesser one. It's my way of fitting in.

Hamburg impressions

Warszawa - Kościół Świetej. Anny, przez kilka wieków bernardyński, a obecnie akademicki, stanowi znaczący i charakterystyczny akcent w panoramie Warszawy.

Warsaw - Church of the Holy. Anna Bernardine for several centuries, and now an academic, is a significant and distinctive accent in the panorama of Warsaw.

View from the Vistula River, with its gothic apse, buttresses tight-fitting and Baroque peak of 1667.

For “Looking close ......... on Friday”. Theme three so a collection of three 3-pin plugs with U.K. fitting. One is an Apple plug, another an Anker high power charger and the third a 3-pin from 2-pin adapter plug.

This probably won't appeal to everyone, but tough..... I like it. And the title pretty much wrote itself.

Southern Railway S15 Class 4-6-0 847 steams away from Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway with its freight train at the end of a 75H Charters event.

It is only fitting that the first CSX train to venture up into the heart of the former MEC, is a Geometry train to measure the track condition.

Here in Greene, ME at the former Maine Poly site, CSXT 9969 with consist heads west towards Rigby for its journey back home having completed several scans of the area. MEC 509 hitches a ride on the rear in a somewhat awkward arrangement, however the train is not scanning on this jaunt.

Already the effects of this have been seen with 10 MPH speedos across the board... fortunately the track gang is well into production just a few miles ahead so a good sign of things to come.

GN 3443 has found a new life in the town of Burlington, IA working for the Burlington Junction Railway doing transloading and BNSF interchange runs. This is a fitting place for this locomotive since the "Burlington" in Burlington Northern refers to this town in Iowa.
