DRS Class 66/4 No. 66426 heads south from Blackford with 4D01, the 11:51 loaded Highland Spring water containers bound for Mossend on 18th April 2023.
During a recent visit to the Napa Valley in California while walking around and exploring the area outside the tasting room building at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. The setting was to the north-northwest and had this picturesque backdrop, with a hillside adorned with trees and blue skies stretching above on a sunny day.
I watched these two girls seemingly struggle with getting there camera settings right. Finally they got there and started taking images.
I guess I owe and apology... I kinda have up on my 52 week project :( I'm not really sure what happened... I guess I just lost motivation/inspiration
Today's cold and wet weather was good for visiting Tower Hill Botanical Garden, where there are two large orangeries. I should've taken note of this plant's name.
For this round of Man Cave we're getting Lit with our newest lights!
Get your hands on it at Man Cave -
Usually I don't cut my ornamental grass in the winter for my little friends to shelter
from the cold, this Robin picks clippings for the nest,
So far I have two little Cardinals chicks right in front in my house on one of the high bushes,
Let me tell you when you get near the bush they let you know... do not disturb:-)
Can't wait to see the little Robins sparrows and Mourning doves, these I know
they all nest in my garden, I try not to do any noisy chores this time of the year.
Without them there is no garden.
Btw I took this from inside the kitchen window were I take all my winter shots,
Getting some water.
A number of birds appeared yesterday. I think they're just passing through.
Probably a hard freeze tonight.
Okay...a couple more shots of my new friend. I went out yesterday morning to see if I could get some shots of the kits. They were nowhere to be found but mom is starting to get a little friendly. Going out this morning to give it one more shot ; )
Like many of you, I've Christmas traditions.
A relatively new one is to celebrate by having a fancy dinner out with my beautiful girlfriends.
I like to dress for the occasion.
Who doesn't?
This year, I retrieved a cheery red satin dress from the back of the clothes rack for this year's event. Some may recognize it from photos taken at a Christmas event about four years ago. It still fits!
Before showing some images from the event, I figured some would like to see how I prepare.
My first step is to assemble the ensemble on an antique coat tree stand. As an example - See left image in the composite. Mixing and matching might take several iterations. This year, I was trying to justify a green satin dress but given a choice - there just was no fair competition with red. Agree?
A decision about a final "Get Up" for the evening is close when it is just a matter of selecting shoes, and hair. In this case, I chose closed toe kitten heels because they are stable and warmer in winter months, and...... I won't have to get a pedi. Whew!
Though I've a lot of hair in different lengths in the same color range - I chose a more mature cut.
Modern, sophisticated, classy ---that's me!
On the right side of this composite - you can see how I'm nearly ready to "Go."
These are not glamour photos - but instead reveal some details of the process I take to get ready.
Other details - red gloss fingernails with gold glitter nail accent, sparkly/shimmery hose, gold glitter accent scarf, gold Christmas tree pin, gold chain necklace and matching earrings, gold broadband ring and bracelet.
My evening makeup featured gold metallic eye shadow and cranberry lip gloss.
My clutch is a gold glitter borrowed from my spouse.
The natural blue fox coat took my look over the top!
The goal was to appear as a beautiful red and gold wrapped Christmas present!
Blah, blah, blah, blah.... Sorry to prattle on.
For me, it takes days contemplating options and hours of preparation.
That is why, when I finally emerge in public - appreciative comments of friends and strangers - mean a lot!
But even if not appreciated by others, it feels good knowing I did my best.
So how do you like my "get up" and "go" look?
A few photos out and about later.

Forgive the not so nice background of this picture but I was playing with Isabel yesterday and suddenly the light was perfect. I love how she looks so real here!!
I changed her eyes and wig and they feel right. She's also starting to call herself Ema. Not sure yet about the clothes but we're getting there.
Ema is an Iplehouse Isabel
Da it.wikipedia.org:
Il Lago Albano, chiamato anche Lago di Castelgandolfo o, più comunemente, Lago di Albano, trae il suo nome dal latino "Albanus", la cui radice *alp- si ritiene sia correlata etimologicamente alle caratteristiche alture del territorio circostante. D'altronde la principale città latina, Alba Longa, si trovava nelle vicinanze.
Si tratta del lago vulcanico più profondo d' Italia (170 m), posto nel territorio dei Colli Albani a sud di Roma, lungo circa 3,5 km, largo 2,3 km, con un perimetro di circa 10 km ed un volume della massa liquida di circa 460 milioni di metri cubi d'acqua. È nato dall’unione di due crateri vulcanici, origine testimoniata dalla forma ellittica del lago e, sul fondo, da una strozzatura mediana di 70 metri indicante il limite tra i due crateri.
From en.wikipedia.org:
Lake Albano (Italian: Lago Albano or Lago di Castel Gandolfo) is a small volcanic crater lake in the Alban Hills of Lazio, at the foot of Monte Cavo, 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Rome. Overlooking it is Castel Gandolfo, where the Pope has a villa.
It was known to the Roman Empire as Albanus Lacus. In its vicinity stood Alba Longa.
The lake is the deepest, about 170 m (560 ft), in Lazio. It is about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long by 2.3 km (1.4 mi) wide, formed by the overlapping union of two volcanic craters, an origin indicated by the ridge in its center, which rises to a depth of 70 m (230 ft).
It hosted the canoeing and rowing events of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games that were held at Rome. The lane marking system developed for these events is commonly referred to as the Albano buoy system.
