A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...
“One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!' And a little later you added, 'You know, when you're feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful...'
'On the day of the forty-four times, were you feeling very sad?'
But the little prince didn't answer.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

I could have passed up this little puddle and I almost did. But curiosity got the best of me at the last minute and I just had to see what was in it. I am sure glad I did. :)

These redwing blackbirds found a place to spend the night. One of many daily bedtime stories at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge.
A Roma, tre statue del "Colosseo quadrato" guardano imperterrite davanti a loro. È mattino e fa freddo, non succede davvero niente.
Intanto a Veracruz in Messico, Rafael è tornato a casa dopo una serata di bagordi al bar con gli amici. Appena accende la luce sua moglie Daniela comincia a urlare e a colpirlo con una pentola. Rafa tenta di salvarsi dai colpi ma è troppo ubriaco e così si prende una decina di padellate sulla testa mentre cade in ginocchio.
Nello stesso momento poco distante da Tromsø in Norvegia, due auto stanno dietro a un camion che apre loro la strada verso il capoluogo: ieri notte ha nevicato un po' e le strade sono scivolose. Nessuno supera i 40 all'ora.
Intanto a Valona in Albania, degli operai stanno posando le lastre del marciapiede attorno alla provinciale, c'è ancora poco traffico. Quando passa un TIR, suona il clacson per salutarli. Il lavoro deve essere finito entro tre giorni, ma un carico di lastre è in ritardo e probabilmente bisognerà fare degli straordinari.
Site of the Lost Forty, a magic woods in northern Minnesota.
This section of forest lies within the Chippewa National Forest near Bigfork, Minnesota. A Minnesota DNR Scientific and Natural Area, the 32 acre Lost Forty SNA, is also part of this beautiful site.
Due to a surveying error back in 1882, this 144 acre section was never logged. As a result, there are numerous 300-400 year old magnificent old-growth red and white pines in this special place.
The sight of these incredible trees isn't the only thing you experience here. The smell of this forest is unique. The sound is also unique. The breeze blowing through the crowns of these old pines make this piece of the north woods sing a totally different tune than most other sections of forest up here. You have to experience it to understand what I am saying.
For more information about the Lost Forty, go to the Chippewa National Forest's Lost Forty Website or the Minnesota DNR's Lost Forty SNA Website.
It's Friday. Forty five seems just about right. Half way there.

Koalas might look like a bear and have the nickname 'Koala bear', but they are marsupials.
The closest living relative to the Koala is the wombat.
Newborn Koalas are so little they could fit on your thumbnail. Koala joeys stay in their mothers’ pouch for about seven months.
Koalas are perfectly built for climbing trees. They have rough paw pads with sharp claws which help them grip tree trunks and branches.
Koalas live in eucalypt forests in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
Koalas are fussy eaters, eating only a few types of eucalypt leaves. They eat up to one kilogram of leaves each day.
You could think that eucalypt leaves make Koalas drunk, because they seem so dozy. This is a myth - Koala food has little energy, so they rest through the day, saving their energy to look for food at night.
The Aboriginal name for the Koala means ‘no drink animal’. They get most of the water they need from their food or from dew or rainwater on leaves. During drought people have seen Koalas come down from their trees to drink.
Koalas can live up to 18 years. They breed once a year, usually between September and March.

This late sunset at about 8:30 p.m. bounced onto the eastern clouds surprised me and brought me joy.
No increased saturation. Only had time to take the D810 and 105mm f/2.8 prime outside to capture that light on the trees.
Many thanks for looking! Please, no advice. There are many who take skilled landscape shots. I am not one of them ;)

Bruny Island, Tasmania. This trip I noticed that these little birds can be very curious. This one was giving me a serious once over. It still wouldn't come right out in the open though.
Thanks for your views, faves and comments.
You wouldn't know it but we're surrounded by houses here as we walk along the beach in Reef Bay. Our destination is on the opposite side of the water behind the tree on the right of picture
Rideau Canal Locks, and not the kind boats go through, but the love type. Things you do for your 365. I took a similar shot on Sunday, but elected not to go with it as I liked the panning shot I got. So on my way to to the airport, I decided to go make a little detour to make this my shot of the day. Glad I did.
