Third link is very interesting.
Petite-Rivière-Saint-François is a little towin in Quebec, Canada, along the Saint Lawrence River. It is home to Le Massif ski resort, a beautiful mountain with gorgeous views. I got away for a few days to ski. I always think I'm going to be out there taking more pictures but the skiing just takes over.
Hope you like it.
They say there is a lost stone circle on Lawrence Field, or it could just be a fortuitous arrangement of natural boulders. Either way, once the mist rises from the moorland, it is a place where few are willing to linger long.
Led by painted C40-8 7523, POAY hustles through the old Lawrence station on the preferred for freights Track 1. The old Ayer Mill clock tower looms behind the train, a remnant of the once massive textile industry in Lawrence, and at one time a large railroad customer itself.
POAY heads west past the former Lawrence station with the clock tower in the background. MEC 7523 leads MEC 619 west with a good sized train in tow. This power came off of that days WAPO, but fortunately they left their third engine, MEC 7489, leaving a matched set of Pan Am blues for the power.
Small songbird of erratic distribution that breeds in California and Baja California and winters in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

First day out with a camera since the knee surgery. A challenging day with some bad surprises and some good surprises. The Lawrence's was a happy surprise ending.

Right now Southern California is the perfect temp and is beautiful thanks to all the rain igniting desert blooms. Many of the hillsides have turned green and are covered in flowers. Each day I see hundreds of pink lady butterflies with a few monarchs and swallowtails. I had a fun time watching some Lawrence's goldfinches, a California specialty, among all the yellow flowers.
Almost missed seeing this lovely Lawrence's Goldfinch in Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. There was a group of them, but they hid pretty quickly!
Spinus lawrencei
The canine version of Lawrence of Arabia, big brother to Gary and Belle. Smartest dog we have EVER had! My heart ❤️
An homage to Messrs Lawrence, Gosport photographers for over a century. Their earlier work, capturing the spirit of our town and the bustle of the harbour in the last years of Queen Victoria's reign, inspired my own early forays into the artist's life in 2008.

Several of these goldfinches appeared to be feeding on the flowers of Sweet Alyssum, Lobularia maritima. This one took a brief break on this perch. Just behind the bird you may notice a few rain droplets as it had begun to sprinkle. (This species is not common locally and these birds were discovered at this location several days ago.)
Another look back to 2019 and the only time to date I've photographed a train working the obscure Lowell Hill Industrial Track. On this Pan Am local LA-1 took two units out the line bracketing two loads then returned later with two empties and both units on the east end elephant style. But the switch moves made for some interesting scenes as it appeared like two trains were down in the tight confines working Whittemore Company.

The church of St Lawrence, Mickleton, is situated at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment just below Hidcote and Kiftsgate. Part of the church dates back to the 12th Century and is a Grade 1 listed building with many interesting historical features. Mickleton is the northernmost village in Gloucestershire.

Several of these goldfinches appeared to be feeding on the flowers of Sweet Alyssum, Lobularia maritima, the flowers seen here. I cropped this photo more and want to post this one more photo after I realized the goldfinches might probably have been feeding on what is botanically called the fruits, or to most of us, the seed pods. They definitely concentrated in groups of this alyssum, which has proliferated in recent years and especially after our huge rains this year.
On a beautiful Saturday morning, I received a timely heads up that UP's MTPKC would be leaving Topeka with a Spartan Cab EMD on the point, and although I was a few minutes behind it, I knew that I could catch up to it by Lawrence. Here, with a wave from a friendly crew is the result of that quick trip to the east!
