The first train on my trip to Colorado yielded a nice pair of EMDs on the head end of this H-LAUDEN manifest train. After a few hours of waiting and making a setout, it finally gets on the move with a thunderstorm that had formed right behind it.
"To get the full value of joy you must have someone to share it with." ... Mark Twain
I have found this statement to be SO TRUE. Thanks for sharing the joy of watching this front come in with me!
Just hit the letter L on your keyboard to see it large.

Week 9 - An 8-shot panorama from my front porch. Having too much fun with Photo Merge in Lightroom CC, I guess. The novelty will wear off eventually, I'm sure.
A huge severe-warned cell shows off some explosive convection as it drifts along the Front Range west of Loveland, CO.
Image Notes: To get an idea of how large the storm is, consider that this image is a five-frame pano. Each frame was shot vertically with the Samyang 14 mm, itself an incredibly wide lens. I processed each frame in DXO, corrected distortion/vignetting with PTLens (DXO lacks a profile for the Samy) and merged the frames in Photoshop to construct the pano.
Yellow-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes flaviforns) or benedito-de-testa-amarela as it is known here in Brazil.
Yellow-fronted Barbet (Psilopogon flavifrons)
Another colourful memory from my birding archives!
Looking back through my older photographs, I came across this beautiful Yellow-fronted Barbet, photographed during my birding trip to Sri Lanka in March 2012.
Revisiting these images brings back wonderful memories and gives me the chance to re-edit them using my improved editing skills and today’s software.
This lovely barbet is endemic to Sri Lanka, meaning it occurs naturally nowhere else in the world. It spends much of its time among the trees, feeding mainly on fruit, including figs, berries and guavas, although it also takes insects.
Another special bird I feel fortunate to have seen and photographed!
I’m sure I’ve told you before that I get very embarrassed about taking photos int he front garden. However, having taken the dog for a walk this morning I just couldn’t resist, besides Sunday mornings, there’s not too many people up and about.
I had realised last year that I’m a bit shy on the old photography front so had bought more bulbs and planted them in the seclusion of our back garden. They’re coming up, but slightly behind the ones in the front.
Thanks for stopping
Well when we reached Mt Baker we couldn’t see 20 feet in front of us it was so foggy. The weather kept saying it would clear but we began to doubt it after an hour of waiting. Buy lo and behold after we reached the end of the hike, the fog began to clear and Mt Shuksan became visible. Have a great day..Kris….

Visiting the Vendée for a week and yesterday we travelled down the coast a bit, stopping off at little seaside places. The weather was very kind indeed. Today is a different kettle of fish entirely! We bagged the empty bench as soon as I’d finished snapping away.

False Fronts By Jasper Mirror
When the glow is too much
turn your heart towards the truth.
Keep the tears flowing
Inside of your truth.
Face the water falling.
Never lose yourself.
Your imperfections are perfect in who you are,
the one you are loved for.
Every wound
they try to tell you that you are
washes away in your storm.
Their issues are theirs alone.
They truly are,
alone.
Pull their fronts off your face.
Their voice, all consuming,
is not yours.
Push it back into their throats.
Hear the truth in your own voice.
Don’t leave yourself behind
in corners of untruths.
Truths are freedom from
the pain the false fronts inflict.
Follow your voice, it will never
leave you behind,
Inside of their fists.
Don’t lose your
dripping soul in their waterfall.
Carry your bleeding-heart
beating inside your chest,
breathing, pounding, existing
because of your strength.
Making up the true part of
everything you are
inside of your heart.
Mending their imperfections
to prove you are not their projection
has nothing to do with who you are.
To fix you based on their untruths
builds you a false front.
Perfection is within everything
you truly are.
When you immerse yourself in their damages
It bends your spine,
dragging you into their dirt.
Stand higher within your peace.
Fight off their storm.
They are nothing,
a false front.
Your hurt you forge through creates
a warrior inside of you.
Don’t lose your heart
in pieces they want you to be.
You are not broken.
Every moment,
Every moment you
take back,
is where you
find the truth.
You find you
in your repair.

More of the tulipa tarda. Our weather has warmed up and we should be free of the white stuff until October.
Peach-fronted Parakeet is an inhabitant of savanna, gallery forest and cerrado from Suriname to south to northern Argentina, and west to extreme southeastern Peru. Peach-fronted Parakeet has a peachy orange forehead and midcrown; a pale orange orbital ring; dull blue wings, tail and hindcrown; and olive brown cheeks and underparts that fade to yellow-green on the undertail coverts. This parakeet is superficially similar to Orange-fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula canicularis), and the two may form a superspecies; but Orange-fronted Parakeet is confined to Central America, and there is no geographic overlap between the two. Peach-fronted Parakeet spends much time foraging on the ground where it feeds on seeds, flowers, leaves and insects. At times Peach-fronted Parakeet also raids fields of soybeans, rice and corn. doi.org/10.2173/bow.pefpar1.01
This one was at Pantanal, MT, Brasil.
Wishing a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
