Lake State Z127 is heading south after leaving the yard going by everyone's favorite first set of signals out of the yard. I nearly blew this all together between some inaccurate intel on when they typically run and nearly missing their departure. I literally ran up and grabbed this shot but it worked out well enough. 2/22/2020
As the remnants of hurricane Florence made its way up the Eastern Seaboard these ships came in out of it , as we might say in St.John's, NL, to seek shelter from the storm.

Day begins as clouds quickly clear. Clearing the way from another hot Texas day as if they were two opposing magnets.

This newborn fawn was on the edge of the trail as I approached. The mother was out of view to the right but quickly bounded past to the left and hid in the brush. The baby didn't know quite what to do. It wobble around. At one point it started toward me but then realized something wasn't right and dashed off to the right as seen in the picture.

À l'origine, il était connu sous l'appellation de mont Tombe. Il devait s'y trouver une pierre ou un monument mégalithique destiné à un culte païen, auquel succédèrent deux oratoires, l'un dédié à saint Symphorien, l'autre à saint Étienne, édifiés par des ermites aux VIe et VIIe siècles, ainsi que le rapporte la Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli in Monte Tumba. A la suite de cette première christianisation du mont Tombe, fut érigé un oratoire en l’honneur de l’archange saint Michel en 708 (709 pour la dédicace), comme l'indiquent les Annales du Mont-Saint-Michel rédigées au début du XIIe siècle. Aubert, évêque d'Avranches, installa sur le site une communauté de douze chanoines pour servir le sanctuaire et accueillir les pèlerins. C'est à cette époque que le mont accueillit, à l'est du rocher, les premiers villageois qui fuyaient les raids vikings. Ce premier habitat a dû abriter les différents corps de métier nécessaires à l'édification du premier sanctuaire : tailleurs de pierre, maçons, tâcherons et charpentiers. Puis il a dû accueillir les laïcs chargés d’approvisionner la communauté religieuse. « Malgré les nombreuses reconstructions qui ont, petit à petit, façonné le bourg que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, le noyau primitif du village demeure encore perceptible : il correspond en effet à une zone caractérisée par une organisation parcellaire relativement complexe et un enchevêtrement de constructions desservies par des ruelles tortueuses ».

Originally, it was known as Mont Tombe. There must have been a stone or a megalithic monument for pagan worship, followed by two oratories, one dedicated to St. Symphorian, the other to St. Stephen, built by hermits in the sixth and seventh centuries, as well as the Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli reports in Monte Tumba. Following this first Christianization of Mount Tombe, was erected an oratory in honor of the Archangel Saint Michael in 708 (709 for the dedication), as indicated by the Annals of Mont-Saint-Michel written at the beginning of Twelfth century. Aubert, bishop of Avranches , installed a community of twelve canons on the site to serve the sanctuary and welcome the pilgrims. It was at this time that the mountain welcomed, to the east of the rock, the first villagers who fled the Viking raids. This first habitat had to shelter the different trades necessary for the construction of the first sanctuary: stonemasons, masons, stonemasons and carpenters. Then he had to welcome the laity to supply the religious community. "Despite the many reconstructions that have gradually shaped the village we know today, the original core of the village is still noticeable: it corresponds to an area characterized by a relatively complex parcel organization and a tangle of buildings. served by winding lanes ".

The OSR Woodstock job leaves the city of Woodstock behind with a pair of Ex-CP GP9s and 7 cars. The Woodstock job had to wait for well over half an hour at Carew for an extremely slow CN train. In that time span, a short, fast thunderstorm passed and cleared, making for a fantastic backdrop as the tracks parallel the road. OSR 1591 and OSR 8235 provide the power.

We went to Trumansburg this morning and saw a lot of deer. Fortunately they fled back into the bush and not back on to the road.
The impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of the genus Aepyceros,
Males are known as rams, while females are referred to as ewes and have no horns. Male impalas have lyre-shaped and ringed horns, up to 75cm long.
Male impalas produce a scent from a gland on their foreheads to advertise their status to rivals. When he loses his rank, a male produces less scent. Males will fight for status and territory throughout the mating season, using their horn’s as weapons.
This lovely herd of Impala's was feeding peacefully when suddenly at the slightest noise from nearby they were quick to flee the place not wanting to risk being attacked by a predator and was photographed on an early morning game drive in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
Bought this one from flee market in 2004. Not sure if it is 1939 or 1941. Everything works so great! Have a fantastic Wednesday!
LEAVE the lovely words unsaid;
For another thought is fled
From my dream-entangled mind.
Bird of passion, unenshrined,
I can never phrase thee quite— 5
So I speed thee on thy flight,
Unembodied thus forever,
Floating in a mist that never
May be raised. Thou art one
Of the black-winged birds that run, 10
With uncomprehended night,
Unimpeded down the night.
Rollo Britten. Bird of Passion.
On a short day trip on Route 480 yesterday, we saw four moose and five caribou. I passed this one as it was feeding on the side of the highway, stopped, got out and started to take a few shots. Then, through the lens I noticed it had turned back on to me. Apparently it had heard another vehicle approaching from the same direction I had just come. As it came into view, the moose turned around and started running towards me ( on the side of the highway, not on it) and I managed to grab a few shots before it disappeared into the woods.
I found out this morning that they have been evacuating the Sumas Prairie over night. Rely on the real news not Facebook or other social media too much misinformation. I hope things work out for everyone. I am in no danger as I live way up the hill.

Description: Although I’ve experimented with quite a number of different photographic styles and techniques over the past year or so, I’ve never really experimented with the different kinds of emotions that photographs can convey.
This scene was inspired by the cover of a DVD that I spotted recently… I’m not sure what the movie was called, but I can clearly remember how I felt when I noticed it on the shelf.

This leopard was very busy raising its prey to the top of the tree to protect it from lusts. It took us half an hour to approach him, step by step, to give him confidence. With his gaze, he ensured our benevolence. On the other hand, another vehicle arrived noisily and without respect and it fled.
Ce léopard était très occupé à remonter sa proie au sommet de l'arbre pour la mettre à l'abri des convoitises. Nous avons mis une demi heure à l'approcher, étape par étape pour le mettre en confiance. Avec son regard, il s'est assuré de notre bienveillance. Par contre, un autre véhicule est arrivé bruyamment, sans respect et il s'est enfui.
