The R-LAUBOZ tackles the grade up Bozeman Pass at O'Rea Creek Road with five MRL units leading. The three lead locomotives are part of the Livingston helper pool, while the two rear units are the assigned LAUBOZ power that day.
Hippo feeding on grass in the Chobe river. The oxpecker birds are doing him a great favour as they feed on the ticks and the parasites and they can also be a useful alarm for any potential threats.

Thank you all for visiting and your kind comments, awards and faves - I appreciate them all.
Common buckeye in the wildflowers at the Etowah River in November. We bottomed out at 28o this morning at our house - could have been worse & very windy all night which helps. One more night of these temps to go ... hope these hot colors warm you up!
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Beachy Head Lighthouse is located in the English Channel below the cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex. It is 33 m high and became operational in 1902. Beachy Head was built to replace the 1834 Belle Tout Lighthouse on top of the cliffs. For 80 years it was manned by a crew of 3 lighthouse keepers at any time - I hope they received a good pay, as it seems to have been a less-than-ideal job. In 2011 the operators said they could no longer afford painting the lighthouse white and red, but a funding campaign helped keep the distinctive colour of this historic landmark.
After LOTS of help from everybear and everybear parents, Kate was rescued carefullly, but WHERE was Johnny?
"Here, Mama! Here I am! Can you and some of the bears and bear parents help me get out of here?! The thorns have caught in my fur! This hurts!!"
"Oh Johnny! We have all been searching for you! Kate was loud and we found her first, but we didn't know where you were!"
"I am sorry, Mama! I was embarrassed that I got up into this rosebush. The blooms are so pretty and smell so sweet, but OUCH! Roses are NOT for climbing!"
"That's right, Johnny. I am sorry I didn't teach you that, but I never thought of climbing into a rosebush! I'm too big, but of course little bears can. I should have thought of it. Now be still and lots of our friends here are going to help you get out of there! I am SO glad you really are safe!"
"I love you, Mama!"
"I love you, too, Johnny! And we have both learned a new lesson!"
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday, Everybody!
cries come and cries go
some by death and some by slow
slow slow degrees
let our cries be realized
put your hand where your heart lies
so no one dies from sorrow, hunger,
and the magic we can wonder
will come alive and thrive
on a planet called earth.
McKee Botanical Gardens is hosting a dinosaur exhibit again! This frightful creature was in the parking lot, scaring adults and children alike!
It seemed like sliding with a surreal filter was most appropriate :-)
Happy Slider Sunday!
The little man answers the call,
“I heard you could use a little help, Santa!”
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following magical creations:
8f8’s Arbor with Vines, Amber Lamps, String Lights, Ornament Lights, and Trellises with Vines, which are all part of the Amberlight Arbor Collection!
anc’s Frozen Grove Trees!
anc’s Mystic Dewgrass!
NOMAD’s PBR Snow!
Let’s keep lifting one another up and shining our light so bright, my friends.
Wishing you a warm and welcoming holiday season!
And and and… Santa is on his way!
A 50-unit AC4400CW order delivered in 1999 from General Electric doomed the two helper districts on KCS with the implementation of distributed power once again on the KCS mainline.
The railroad used radio-controlled locomotives (RCL) beginning in the 1970s on their trains, but reverted back to manned helpers based out of Neosho, Missouri, and Heavener, Oklahoma, to get heavy trains over the grade.
Here a southbound loaded grain train with 2x1 DP power glides along Butler Creek in the shadow of Butler's Bluff just south of Noel, Missouri. The train has conquered one of the three 1.5 percent grades in the Ozarks with the final two coming in quick succession in just a few miles.
I admit I got on the MRL bandwagon too with the end nearing as the BNSF takes back the railroad. I just got back from a 6 day trip with mix results.
Westbound helpers out of Livingston are done shoving this Laurel to Pasco freight train up the 1.8% grade over Bozeman Pass. The helpers will now ride to Bozeman before cutting off after meeting 1 at West End. The train will slip into the 3000 foot tunnel here at the top of the 5500 foot pass. Decent snow fall the past 24 hours has whiten up the higher elevation thru here.

Anyone else finding their butterfly bush leaves all chewed up like this... and I never see any insects!! Do they come out at night to party??!!
This happens every year and looks terrible...
I'd appreciate suggestions... but I can't use pesticides because it is near the Milkweed....
A female stands in water grooming in the middle of a small flock. While the males get a lot more attention, I find the females have a lovely subtle plumage, and the fall reflections on the water framed the scene well.
A larger group spent several weeks on the Lake in the fall, spooked and flushed periodically by Hawks and the occasional Bald Eagle. The species is a frequent fall visitor, and there are occasional northbound migrants in the spring.
A feature of the species that always seems striking to my eye is the short, beautifully coloured bill. It is often described as ‘goose-like’ and it helps them have greater pulling force on the underwater greens that form the core of their diet.
I found Della in the woods the other day helping Santa with some last minute preparations.
Ho,ho, ho, Merry Christmas to all!!!
One of the young green heron triplets is now out of the nest and doing a bit of exploring. He seems to be unsure about what to do with those floppy things on each side of his body, and it looks like he's calling for help. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
A set of three Burlington Northern SD60Ms head downgrade back to Crawford, Nebraska, to push another coal load over Crawford Hill on July 21, 2003. A fuel tender is spliced into the power to lengthen the time between refueling for the busy helper set. Note the special device above the anti-climber on No. 9215 that lifts the pin allowing uncoupling of the helper on the fly at the summit at Belmont.
I discovered this fine circa-1962 Massey 35X in a rapidly decaying barn (really an old 19th Century cottage) outside of town. Check out the hand-hewn rafters that are giving way after more than a dozen decades... That tractor doesn't have a dent in it, and the key was in the ignition switch. Do you think someone would mind if I drove it home, to spare it the fate that awaits it in the next big storm?

Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. Yehuda Berg
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Denver and Rio Grande Western GP40 No. 3083 is the east unit on a helper set at Minturn, Colorado, in July 1984. Behind No. 3083 is a GP40-2, a SD40T-2, a SD45, and two more SD40T-2s. One track over in front of Minturn’s small enginehouse is GP35 No. 3043. These large helper sets were used on the steep 3-percent eastward grade up Tennessee Pass out of the crew change town of Minturn.
