Prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya) blooms in profusion in a high quality longleaf pine savanna in Newton County, Texas.
This is another image taken on private land in the Pineywoods of east Texas. In stark contrast with the imperiled forest I posted yesterday, these woods are protected through legal agreements with nonprofit conservation partners and are managed to maintain exceptionally high quality habitat. I use the term “woods” lightly for this longleaf pine savanna, as, despite the trees, places like this are more prairie than forest. This site is rich in prairie genera like Schizachyrium, Andropogon, Eryngium, Silphium, and so on. This savanna received a growing season burn this year, which is typical of the fire regime under which the community evolved, and contrary to the cool season burns that primarily occur today due to a variety of non-ecological reasons. The results were spectacular, and Liatris pycnostachya in particular seemed to respond.
Most of my fellow foamer friends think this thing is hideous and won't shoot a train if it's on it. I'm in the other camp and think its kind of awesome with its mis match of eras. What camp are you in?
While waiting around for some window trains to pass I grabbed this clean roster shot of PW 4001 a GE B40-8 blt. Jun. 1988 as NYSW 4004. It is the trailing unit on Providence and Worcester freight DAWO (Davisville to Worcester) which runs under the cover of darkness and is the only freight train that normally operates on this stretch of the busy Northeast Corridor. The prior night's southbound WODA crew ran out of time and was unable to make the trip back north, so they tied their train down here just railroad west of the US Route 1 overpass. It was brought to Worcester later in the day by Valley Falls based PR-3 once they are done with their regular customer work.
I wasn't able to wait around for that to happen but did catch a few trains passing them as they sat on Main 4 just west of Malcolm interlocking at MP 169.9 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

CSX (SBD) GP40 6773 (reportedly built as SCL 1619) is parked at the company shops backlot in Waycross, GA. If only the Seaboard logo was on that yellow nose.
This unit allegedly went to Point Comfort and Northern, then New Orleans Public Belt, now works for Nebraska Central, proving they don't make them like they used to.

BCE47142 *LG71DXA* seen at Ham working on route 65 towards Kingston.
Back when photographing the new BCE buses on the 65, there was a number of them that had been diverted to this route instead of their allocated routes. BCE47142 is ordered for the 125.
The registration plate at the time BCE47142 had been carrying was LG71DXA, which is the plate for BCE47143. BCE47142 has since of photograph been corrected to LG71DWZ.

ENGLISH
The first flags were used to assist military coordination on battlefields and flags have evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signaling and identification, This was especially used in environments where communication is similarly challenging (such as the maritime environment where semaphore is used). National flags are potent patriotic symbols with varied wide-ranging interpretations, often including strong military associations due to their original and ongoing military uses. Flags are used in messaging, advertising, or for other decorative purposes. The study of flags is known as vexillology, from the Latin vexillum meaning flag or banner.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica: "Flags recognizable as such were the invention, almost certainly, of the ancient Indians or the Chinese." The usage of flags spread from India and China to neighboring Burma, Siam, and southeastern Asia.
Persians used Derafsh-e-kaviani as the flag, at the time of Achaemenian dynasty at 550–330 B.C. Afterwards it was used in different look by the late Sassanid era (224-651). It was also representative of the Sassanid state - Ērānshāhr, the "Kingdom of Iran" - and may so be considered to have been the first "national flag" of Iran.
Originally, the standards of the Roman legions were not flags, but symbols like the eagle of Augustus Caesar's Xth legion; this eagle would be placed on a staff for the standard-bearer to hold up during battle. But a military unit from Dacia had for a standard a dragon with a flexible tail which would move in the wind; the legions copied this; eventually all the legions had flexible standards — our modern-day flag.
During the Middle Ages, flags were used mainly during battles to identify individual leaders: in Europe the knights, in Japan the samurai, and in China the generals under the imperial army.
From the time of Christopher Columbus onwards, it has been customary (and later a legal requirement) for ships to carry flags designating their nationality; these flags eventually evolved into the national flags and maritime flags of today. Flags also became the preferred means of communications at sea, resulting in various systems of flag signals; see International maritime signal flags.
As European knights were replaced by centralized armies, flags became the means to identify not just nationalities but also individual military units. Flags became objects to be captured or defended. Eventually these flags posed too much danger to those carrying them, and by World War I these were withdrawn from the battlefields, and have since been used only at ceremonial occasions.

CASTELLANO
Una bandera es una pieza de tela, normalmente rectangular, aunque puede adoptar formas muy variadas, que se sujeta por uno de sus lados a un asta, o se cuelga de una driza. Se utiliza para identificar o representar a una persona, o grupo de personas. También puede servir para trasmitir señales. El estudio de las banderas se conoce como vexilología.
Es posible considerar a los vexilos (palabra origen del término), utilizados por los legionarios durante la civilización romana, como las primeras insignias empleadas en Europa. En España, los visigodos siguieron utilizando este tipo de estandartes rígidos con alguna clase de paño; pero no fue sino hasta la invasión musulmana cuando se comenzaron a utilizar lo que actualmente conocemos como "banderas", ya que el uso de tejidos ligeros, como la seda, en los estandartes tuvo su origen en Oriente, siendo los musulmanes y los cruzados los primeros en implantar su uso en Europa. Las banderas se convirtieron en guiones y estandartes representativos de Reyes y Señores (específicamente, de sus linajes o casas reales), más que de territorios o naciones, tal como hoy son utilizadas las enseñas nacionales.

Light in its purest form, is truth.
Truth is an elusive servant of what seems right;
a perpetual quest within the mind,
to reach beyond the self.
Perhaps it is the mind's churning
which ignites that wondrous universal balance
that empowers light to cut through the darkness.
I dedicate this to dear tom-sketching,who got inspired by the words ''seeking my identity'' near my screen name,and wrote a most deeply meaningful poem on it..Thank you my dear friend.. That's fabulous..I read it again and again ! And yes..you're right Tom...seeking will never end:)
Here is the link to his amazing capture accompanying that beautiful poem:

What to do when you are having one?
Remember that your identity is that of your own choosing.
Sometimes we bring on the crisis ourselves because we linked our personal identity to temporarily links. Spend some time to explore new interests!
Don't accept the influence of others in forming your new identity.
And last but not least: think positive!
Have a great day everyone and thank you for your views, faves and comments!

Oprah....Heeeeelp!!!!!!
going to do way more with this concept when I can. Haven't explored this fully at all (have covered .01 percent of what this could turn into).
Choice of various identities. Some having been worn for decades. Not fake, but borrowed. Worn out. Need replacement. A better fit. Fitting. Fitting what?

The town where I live got its name from its reputation as 'the mission on the hill', a beautiful spot with a shadowed history...
In 1865 the Oblates of Mary Immaculate built a missionary school on a wide ledge of land (approx 50 acres) overlooking the river and the plains.
These well-meaning Europeans had observed the aboriginal peoples in the area (five distinct groups), identified them (correctly) as hunter-gatherers and fishermen. They (incorrectly) identified them as lacking in culture and set out to remedy the situation (as they saw it) by removing the children from their homes & villages and relocating them to live at the school.
Regrettably the Residential School System was enabled by the Government of Canada.
This building is what remains of the girls dormitory, permanently closed in 1965. The tiny pair of moccasins were likely left by family members of one of the former students.
Project 365-078
On first glance (at least to me!) this looks like 2 female Marsh Harriers.
Fledged juvenile birds of both sexes look identical (like females) they even both have brown eyes. Over time the male's plumage changes and becomes lighter along with his eye colour which changes from brown to yellow.
Although the bird on the left has a lot of brown, there are also dark grey 'fingers' emerging at the wing tips. So this looks to be a young male trying his luck with an adult female - or a 'cross dressing' male (see the link below from Graham in comments).
Juvenile (either sex) in comments below. In my description I even assume it must be a female, but in hindsight there is no way to tell when they are that young. The young birds are 'box fresh' with cream heads and solid brown plumage.
Have also included an adult male and an adult female.
