Well I couldn't resist posting a couple more photos with Alfie as Santas little Elf. He was the most willing to wear the Santa hat. I still had problems because my other dog Romeo kept wanting to yank it off his head to chew it up.
I won't be able to be on Flickr much because of the holidays. I want to thank everyone for being such great friends. Your all very talented photographers to add to the pleasure of being here on Flickr. Have a very Merry Christmas and Holiday Season. Be safe! Lots of hugs to all!
They look like Shovelers, but the beak colour is wrong and the female's dark chestnut head too............drawn a blank.
KCSM 4067 leads train CP 375 through the woods at South Haven and prepares to cross the Clearwater River. This location helps out for early afternoon westbounds as the tracks swing heavily to the south. We have been seeing a lot of KCS power out here, making shooting on this sub more interesting again.
The Nomad shows that this whole Nixon thing seems to be deteriorating into a hopelessly all consuming desperation.

There is quite a difference in winter versus the warm months in observing the eating habits of pheasants. In the summer time unless you are out very early in the mornings or happen to catch them searching for bits of gravel to serve as grit to help their digestion, pheasants often are more hidden as they seek things to eat. They normally have a menu with more entries on it than they do during the winter.
The phrase “scratching out a living” goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers “scratched” the land using more primitive tools.
By the 18th-19th centuries, the use of the phrase gained uses beyond that of farming to include anyone who was barely making ends meet in their day to day struggle.
Jump ahead until today and the phrase applies to a broad spectrum of normally physically hard, low paying jobs or an unstable work life.
I grew up in an era when there were only a few government help agencies and can well remember my folks talking about people around them during the Depression and beyond who spent many years on community “poor farms”.
Poor farms were quite prevalent at one time in the US and folks who were unable to work due to age, disability or other factors were housed and fed in exchange for helping to produce food and maintain a farm. Local governments ran the farms as they were considered a cost-effective way to care for the needy rather than simply doling out monies to individuals.
It carried negative connotations for participants, particularly because they were labeled “inmates.”
Poor farms gradually petered out by the middle of last century with many in Minnesota closing in the 1930s due to government programs starting up such as Social Security in 1935 and the growing prevalence of nursing homes.

Ex B&O caboose, no couplers, no trucks, sits close to Martins in Connellsville, Pa. A friend from the area says it also used to be a store that sold CD's. It's in sad shape now.
Help!
Can you tell me the name of this lake which is beside the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper?
This is a pic from my archives that I took on a motorcycle tour in 2007.
Thanks for the help! I have learned that this is Bow Lake!!!
Great Blue Heron and Red-winged Blackbird.
It looks like the Blue Heron is calling for help. The Blackbird kept chasing the Blue Heron up and down the canal. Wherever the Blue Heron landed the Blackbird would come in for the attack. I watched them for 10 minutes or so until the Blue Heron finally flew off.

This is my everyday project for 2010. Taking one lyric from a song every day and creating art or taking a photo inspired from that lyric.

SP 8672 drops downgrade between Woodford and Rowen as they head west towards Bakersfield. Soon they will cut in to another heavy train and help them to the Summit in Tehachapi. Never a dull moment while watching trains in the Tehachapi Mountains.
I was working on a dolly picture yesterday, when a little helper appeared on the scene! He is Tofu, my 6-month-old blue point Siamese kitten. Such a pretty boy!! (His sister was somewhere nearby, but she was being good--this time!--and not getting on the table.)
A lot has changed in Helper over the years, much of it revolving around the decline in rail traffic since the height of the Denver & Rio Grande Western days. Falling demand for coal and shifting traffic patterns after the UP takeover have reduced rail volumes considerably, UP's LROHP (Roper to Helper local) that day a microcosm of today's reality, hauling only a single hopper for the trip east. One could say a sad state of affairs; although we'd all love to see Rio Grande's 2020 leading passenger trains again in place of armor yellow, that won't be happening anytime soon. Any town that suffers a structural decline in economic activity has to try to reinvent itself, this mural attempting to depict the "new" Helper hoping to bring in some tourism dollars, while acknowledging its roots, for better or for worse.
For those that need glasses like me, the mural reads:
Welcome to Historic Helper

"Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy
He lucky, lucky, yeah (ooh)
He lucky, lucky, yeah (ye-yeah)
He lucky, lucky, yeah
He lucky, lucky, yeah"

Maryland Midland's UBHF train gets a shove from the only two GP38-3s left on the roster as the heavy train of cement hopper loads passes a cemetery in Graceham MD on October 23, 2020.
The stray utility pole which blocks the 2061's cab a bit was once a part of the old code line for WM's block signal system through here. The main is now dark territory with little use for the utility poles that supported it and so as the cross arms rotted and fell off one by one, the pole remained. It is now serving a different purpose supporting a bluebird house which has been mounted on the south side about 4-5 feet from the ground.
