Primarily intended as an indoor flowering plant for around Christmas time, the bulbs can be over wintered, given a rest and they will produce flowers year after year.
Double deep red blossoms will grow to a stunning display for the holidays or any time during the winter months. Hollands finest strain produces more huge flowers per bulb than any other strain. The spectacular breathtaking beauty of the brilliant colours must be seen to be believed. Blooms reach over 8 inches across.

This is intended to be a bit silly. I took the picture with my telephone on the stairs leading down from West India Quay DLR and had edited it by the time I had reached the bottom. That includes inserting the birds. The only addition in Lightroom was the signature.
This is toothpaste with it's cap. One has to turn the cap over and connect it with the little "flower" and twist to open it.
I intended to post this for today's Smile On Saturday challenge, Flower SOOC but didn't realize they closed at 7 and not 8 EST. Anyhow, here it is, straight out of my iPhone, selective focus of a flowering maple bloom taken at the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- September 30, 2022.
This is my contribution to this weeks Macro Monday's theme of intended contact. It was created when getting 2 water drops to collide.
For this I used a small cocktail glass to create a reservoir with yellow food colourant then 2 drops were dropped from a height of around 10 inches one after another. The photo was taken in manual mode, F14 at 250/sec. To freeze the drops after contact I used 2 trigger flashes on 1/32 power. The actual collision size is less than an inch - HMM

This one actually makes me smile. I was out in a local town shooting a roll of film through a camera that I intended on selling just to make sure everything worked. There were some stairs going up to a parking lot on top of a building and I was looking at the stairs to see if there was a picture there to be had when these two young lads bustled past on their way up the stairs. They had noticed my camera and when they got to the top of the stairs one of them turned around and shouted down - did I want to take his picture. I laughed and said sure and he gave me that pose and "attitude" before laughing and running off.

no child at all
would wake to the light
of a sun that is reddening
like a robin's breast,
and no lioness
boards a last, great hull
on the waves
the close
on a world
that will never return again
and no sound escapes
from the night to come.

Just one of those things. I had intended to do a straight photo of me painting Patankar so I stood on the docks next to the easel and made a "painting" of the scene to downsize and copy unto the easel. As it turns out, I liked the painting so here it is.

Nature intended this fly to look as much like a hornet as possible, but it's actually a hoverfly - the hornet mimic hoverfly (Volucella zonaria). A big fly that just looks dangerous ;-)

Matthew 28:5-7
And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see him: see, I have told you.
Is It So Important?
Is it really so important
just to know that Jesus died,
Does it really make a difference knowing
He was crucified?
Indeed, it was for all my sin
He hung upon a tree,
So it really is important -
through believing, I am free.
Free from all my sin and shame, my
conscience cleansed from guilt,
You too may know this blessing,
through believing if you wilt.
Is it so important then to know that Jesus rose?
That the tomb was empty, mocking
all the efforts of His foes.
Yes! It proves his power,
over sin and death and grave.
By His glorious resurrection,
we know He came to save.
His disciples who had seen Him die,
were frightened and were sad;
Until the day of resurrection -
His appearing made them glad.
He ascended to his Father,
there His precious blood to plead,
For those who came believing,
acknowledging their need,
He has sent his Holy Spirit
(Guide and Comforter is He)
He will teach me of my Saviour,
who will come again for me.
Then - with all who love Him,
we shall meet Him in the air.
He will take us to his Father's house,
to praise Him ever there.

The Lancaster Canal was constructed in the 1790s and was intended to run from Lancaster to Kendal in the north and to Preston in the south. This is the northern part of the canal above Tewitfield, where a road has cut this off from the canal to the south. No boats operate here, though there has been talk of reuniting the various parts of the canal.
Bringing up the rear of an empty coal train, BNSF 9979 helps slow its train to a stop as they occupy the main at SSS Longs Peak. To my knowledge, no H2 SD70MACs are currently equipped with PTC. This in mind, it was a nice treat to find one working in coal service, fulfilling the same role they were built for over 25 years later.
This was the intended target from yesterday but the total time between clouds was shorter.

The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.

I had intended to get up early and drive over there on the Peninsula before sunrise. Sometimes these plans don't feel do good while lying in a warm bed knowing you could just get a bit more sleep. I regretted it today.
Have a good week, we are 2 hours off Monday here.
The Kawasaki KLR650 is a dual-sport motorcycle intended for both on-road and off-road riding. [...]. The 2008 model was the first significant redesign of the KLR650 since its inception. Wikipedia
With my camera backpack on my back and my tripod balanced on the handlebars, I raced down the beach trying to get to the pier for the sunrise. I had not intended to photograph my old raggedy bike. One gear out of seven works and the brakes aren't great either but I liked the way the bike looked in the scene.
Runway intended walks made for those dresses and robes where you can barely move your legs in fear of ribbing the fabrics (AKA prim breaks !!!)
I have no experience, I made this because I needed one, and I'll slowly extend these with different arm positions.
TP to Pink Moon
No political statement intended. I was wanting to make a self portrait and struggled with what to do exactly. My feelings are discombobulated. I feel like a lost soul struggling to find a way. I found a serving tray with the flag printed on it's surface. This was were I found myself--playing around with multiple exposures and combining elements into my time and space. I tried several slightly different images. I can't say I'm happy with any of them, but here I am.
You can always count on crows (pun intended, sorry Mr Jones) to lead you to raptors.
We were out with a friend today and heard a group of crows yelling and screaming at something.... As we got closer I could see the shape and thought it was a juvenile eagle, then Michelle lifted her binos and said Great Horned Owl!!!!
Wow this Owl was getting harassed by at least a couple dozen crows rudely telling it to move on, it did eventually and they were in hot pursuit. Nice to see the sun again and count on some crows......
I had originally not intended to post an image in today’s Macro Monday but yesterday, without any prompting, my wife came up with these poached pears to use up some that were neglected and going too soft to eat.
The pears are poached in sugary water, together with a few cinnamon sticks, cardomon and a couple of cloves! She also produced a homemade chocolate sauce using cocoa powder, milk, butter and sugar I think. We had a few last night with these left over for today. Really nice and yummy!
The area captured is less than 3” wide so adheres to the rules.
I intended to create some bubbles in a textured red bowl. Before adding the soap I stirred the water and oil and saw this result. Looking at it first thing came to my mind was global warming because of it's warm fiery tones and some non transparent bubbles. I loved the concept and captured this abstract creation.
Santa María del Pi History
According to tradition, a 5th-century fisherman discovered the Virgin Mary's image on a pi (or pine tree) that he intended to cut down to build a boat. Struck by the vision, he instead built a small church, later succeeded by this striking Gothic structure.
After the substantial economic success enjoyed by the Crown of Aragon during the 13th and 14th centuries, Barcelona’s most important churches were renovated. Between 1318 and 1320, construction began on the Romanesque church that preceded the current basilica. However, due to several misfortunes, including the heavy losses Barcelona suffered at the hands of the Black Death, it was not until 1391 that building was finished. The impressive 14th-century basilica is a classic of Catalan Gothic architecture, with an imposing façade, a vast interior and a single nave. The simple decor in the main section contrasts with the gilded chapels and exquisite 20th-century replica of the original rose window. One of the world’s greatest, and the largest of all the churches in Barcelona, the rosette bathes the interior of the church in beautiful refractions throughout the day.
Among the numerous chapels in the church, the one known as the Chapel of the Blood, stands out. It’s conceived as a small church (annexed to the southern side of the main building) with a single nave, polygonal apse and covered with two sections of ribbed vaulting. It depicts several angels, and its ornamentation is no less striking: the capitals at the entrance are decorated with a series of fantastic animals, including monkeys, eagles, and griffins.
However, the basilica's period of most extraordinary splendour coincided with the beginning of the 16th century and the arrival of the Renaissance in Catalonia. But this golden age was brief: the War of Succession and the various sieges that Barcelona suffered at the beginning of the 18th century left significant damage on the church. In 1714, several bombs fell on the presbytery vault, destroying the High Altarpiece and its ornaments. Thankfully, the Virgin and the rest of the images were left unharmed; parishioners interpreted it as a miracle.
The church was under attack again during the 20th century, when groups of uncontrolled anti-clericals set fire to several churches in Barcelona, one of which was Santa María del Pi. The fire completely consumed the High Altar and the choir stalls, the doorways and some chapels, including the Chapel of the Blood and the principle organ. The stained glass windows exploded from the heat. The building suffered severe structural damage, especially to the roof and the vault. Only the Archive, which contains documentation from the 12th century to the present day, was saved thanks to the action of some government officials, among whom was the famous Catalan librarian and historian Jordi Rubió i Balaguer.
Despite the decidedly mixed circumstances the basilica has weathered over the years, the building still stands strong. It remains the imposing centre of the Gothic Quarter, along with an ancient pine tree which still grows in the adjacent square to this day.
Some days are better than others on the railroad. More often than not the plans of well intended managers to save money or a crew start often cost the railroad more money in delays than the intended savings ever would have realised in profits. Case in point is “The Hill” in Vicksburg, Mississippi, along the CPKC railroads Vicksburg subdivision. Vicksburg hill is an aberration in the landscape along the railroad’s Meridian Speedway. The speedway is known for its high capacity, easy access for west-east coast intermodal and auto products, and high speed, mostly flat, running. The climb out of Vicksburg is the fly in the ointment for trains headed eastbound towards the In this image CPKC Railroad’s “JV” (Jackson-Vicksburg) local turn is seen crawling up the aforementioned hill at their maximum tonnage rating behind four Electro Motive Diesel GP series motors.
“The Hill” is left over from the former Alabama and Vicksburg railroad’s ramp track that ferried cars from the Mississippi River landing in Vicksburg up towards the mainline to Jackson, Ms, and beyond. The original alignment of the ramp had grades in excess of 4% as the railroad assaulted the nearly impenetrable cliffs along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. Only slightly improved, the current alignment officially lists at 1.85% on more modern track charts, but unofficially is around 2.9% directly starting up from the river.
Eastbound trains attacking this steep grade have their work cut out for them. After a 60mph sprint across miles and miles of flat Mississippi Delta lands through eastern Louisiana, you are faced with a ten mile per hour permanent slow order, for the length of your train, over the nearly two mile long Mississippi River crossing. A slight downgrade off of the bridge only further exacerbates this issue causing most trains to brake to keep their oftentimes 10,000 foot long trains at the ten mph maximum speed limit. By the time eastbound trains reach CP West Vicksburg they are often just barely beginning to accelerate out of the permanent speed restriction over the river bridge. When trains reach the toughest section of uphill running it is a slow notch out until you are in full run 8 to make it up and out of Vicksburg. Multiple reverse curves and a tunnel keep track speed to a maximum of 20mph on the steepest portion of the grade, which is rarely realized by uphill trains. The nasty grade levels out somewhat as trains pass through the Vicksburg National Battlefield and approach the long siding at Newmans. Eventually the grade completely levels out by the time trains reach Edwards siding east of the Black River crossing in Bovina.
For the new managers of CPKC this hill has caused the railroad more trouble than not. Most trains are run severely underpowered, or with poorly performing trip optimizer, on this section of the Meridian Speedway. Trip optimizer is a computer system that is supposed to optimize fuel efficiency and power usage on road trains across the network (LOL). This spotless December morning this section of track would prove smarter than its managers once again, and cause a cataclysmic backup of trains that would trigger 4 recrewed hotshots and 3 delayed departures for trains in the area. The JV turn, moving west, would scurry into town and begin switching the water level CPKC yard next to the main. Shortly after an eastbound train of grain loads would get signals to head east to Jackson with 90 grain loads behind a 1x1 consist. A 1x1 consist indicates the train has one head end motor and another distributed in the middle of the train. The underpowered train made it about halfway upgrade before they stalled out with no chance of restarting. Shortly after calling the PTC “help” desk they were asked if weather conditions on a perfectly sunny day were affecting their ability to make it uphill. After the litany of following questions about train handling they were instructed to stay put for a following movement to shove them out of town. A little over an hour and a half later inbound Sanchez, NL, Mexico, to Jackson, MS, high priority manifest train M275 arrived, cut their lead engines off, and nosed up to the rear of the grain load. At this point the engineer of the stalled grain load notified the dispatcher that he was only an hour out from dying on hours of service. With only 40 minutes to spare the grain train got the shove they needed to make it out to Newmans siding east of town before the crew expired. For the next hour trains began to stack up on the Louisiana side of the river. First out was eastbound Los Angeles to Atlanta blue streak intermodal I968 with 13,500 feet of double stack containers for the east coast. Behind 968 was an eastbound Dallas to Atlanta hotshot I168, and finally, the subject of this photograph, the running from the law JV turn. Westbound, and holding at Edwards, was manifest M267 with a short consist for Shreveport, LA.
Around an hour later the light motors of M275 returned to grab their 8900 feet of train at the bottom of the hill in town. Another half hour passed and the crew of the local alerted the dispatcher they were ready to leave town with only an hour and a half of time on their timecards for the day. As M275 was crawling uphill at 15mph on the main, the JV job shoved out with their maximum tonnage train, and waited for a light. Fifteen minutes passed and the light they needed finally came. Eleven hours after going on duty in Jackson the outbound JV turn crawled uphill out of town ahead of all other traffic. A yard crew would meet the train at Monument siding, on the west end of Jackson, to relieve them with mere minutes to spare. Later on in the afternoon as we left to follow the KCS 1 west towards Monroe we would again hear another inbound train, this time the high-priority intermodal/manifest I166 stall on the hill again with another 1x1 consist. Nothing else was around to assist this 166, and we never heard what happened to them as they attempted to make their way east to the Norfolk Southern interchange, across the state, in Meridian.
This is one example of many teething problems the CPKC was having along the Meridian Speedway as the new managers use real time trial and error in an attempt to squeeze maximum operating efficiencies out of their busiest east-west corridor system wide.
I had intended doing this for the Flickr Friday bread and butter theme but I’ve got so much time on my hands I seem to have lost the ability to plan anything so here it is anyway, just a week late. I was trying to achieve a toy camera / retro type painterly effect.
A week off from work is not going as intended. A less than desirable week of weather was predicted, except for Monday, so a change of plans occurred. Then I fell to a sudden high fever and stomach virus on Monday morning. So, while lying around my mothers home in Norwich, NY trying to get my energy back, I might as well post a couple of shots from the Chenango Valley. As in an earlier post, I described how little SW's were not cut out for the long running and speed of the Norwich local. In this shot we see an SW that has fell ill. On the left a GP rescue unit also had a falling out. On the right is a live unit just in from Binghamton and has stopped in at the yard office before continuing north to get a long waiting switch to customers in Norwich and Sherburne.
Pun bitterly intended upon the meaning of “Fall,” as either the season (autumn) or as the movement (of leaves down, towards the ground). The shot juxtaposes such a Fall (of leaves) with the pictorial invitation to Ascend by climbing the steps that were once carved out from the rock.
It was as late as in the 1930s that these steps were carved out from the solid rock to replace the earlier used way of ascending: the last person recorded to have used the shaky and rickety rope ladder was in 1911: monk Eugene of the Great Meteoron abbey (monastery) fell off the cliff whilst attempting to climb up that old ladder.
The stairs lead to the remote and deserted Hypapantē monastery (abbey) dating back to 1367 in Meteora, Greece. The abbey was destroyed by fire in 1809 on the instructions of a notorious local Ottoman bully, based in Ioannina.
Hypapantē is the Greek word for “Candlemas” (Luke 2:22–38). The abbey is nested within the rock formation at a height of 230 ft (70 m) above ground.
Meteora is the name of the group comprising many impressive and lofty rock formations: The height of the sandstone megaliths ranges between 1,000-2,067 ft (300-630 m). The rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.

I hadn't intended filling my photo stream with any more moon shots for a while and I took this solely as a banker shot for my PoTD , but my world since then turned even more crazier than it is when the Postman arrived with a package of forms to fill in, a paper for a blood test which I must book online due to Covid restrictions - all in prep to see if I'm ok to take a drug called Fampyra aka Fampridine for my MS ( multiple sclerosis)

Not intended to be a pretty picture. Just a snapshot to document the 10 inches of snow that fell last night and continues to fall in the West Valley area of Yakima County, Washington. IMG_7382
At first light, the familiar sound of a crisp early 2000’s K5LA echos through the valley as YN2 pair CSXT 446 and 35 hustle northbound through Woodbine, Ky with empty TVAX hopper train E729-16 for Corbin Yard.
Having missed the intended shot near Grain, as the train left early and didn't report, a drive to Paddock Wood to try and salvage the mornings efforts was rewarded with this shot of 66757, appropriately named 'West Somerset Railway', coming off the line from Maidstone West.
