An early morning swim of a group of Canada geese out on Lake Erie are observed by an overhead seagull. What was even more interesting to me was the morning sky with the cloud layers in contrast to the lake.

The Proud Leader
In the calm of an early morning, on water barely moving, one swan stepped forward — quietly, confidently, speaking only with his gaze.
He took the lead, steady and composed, guiding his small white procession as they followed the rhythm of the river.
For a moment, it felt like a gentle ceremony of nature, a ritual revealed only to those who wait long enough for the world to exhale.
Ponosni predvodnik
U tihom jutru, na vodi koja jedva diše, pojavio se jedan labud koji je odmah uzeo riječ — bez glasa, bez žurbe, samo pogledom.
Stao je prvi, hrabro i mirno, kao da vodi mali bijeli orkestar koji mu vjerno slijedi svaki val.
Na trenutak je cijeli prizor izgledao kao mala ceremonija prirode, ritual koji se događa samo kad čovjek dovoljno dugo stoji i čeka da se svijet otvori.
Deep in the Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge wilderness. These birds were all in a row following the leader. What was strange was the littlest was leading. Maybe that's why no one else has ever witnessed this scene. In a flash they were out of sight, but I got my picture as proof I didn't just dream it all up.

The one from behind was following the leader.
Not the shot or location I wanted, but it works. Q217-06 with CSX ST70AH 8900 rolls down the CSX Philadelphia sub in the early afternoon sun. Here they are going from the main to track one as the close in on Bayview yard in Baltimore, MD.
CSX 8900 is the class leader of the 10 EMD ST70AH locomotives that CSX purchased.
That relocated headlight lets you know the leader on Norfolk Southern's train 290 wasn't always a thoroughbred. NS 3553 was built in 1979 for the Burlington Northern; BNSF sold it as surplus at the turn of the Century. Helm Financial had it in leasing service until 2013 when Norfolk Southern bought it and others to add to their fleet.

A "good leader" on the eastbound roadrailer headed for Detroit, here at Romulus, Michigan as NS 2558 leads the way - April 23, 2006.
SSR’s P17 leads a single BGKF grain wagon and retired Comeng cars 301M-1001T-302M 303M-1002T-304M with T381 trailing to Bendigo at Clarkefield. The grain wagon was going for repairs, the Comeng sets are to be scrapped. The units were heavily vandalised whilst in storage at North Shore yard since August, with large amounts of graffiti and numerous smashed windows. One of the cars was even set on fire, which prompted security to be hired 24/7 to watch over the trains. 301M is the class leader of the Comeng sets. Built from 1981, 187 three car Comeng sets were built by Commonwealth Engineering. They are now progressively being retired, with the oldest ones going first and the last will be retired around 2026.

Nothing gives me more joy than seeing CSX pumpkin units being used in ways they weren't intended to be. George Cheatwood shot this R409 at Akron on August 30th 1999 with the correct leader. JL Sessa collection.

-Are the Indians bad?
-No, it's just a game we play! If we win and capture them then we turn them loose. If they win they turn us loose!
-OK, that sounds fun!
-Come on men, let's go get' em!
Drift has big plans for he and Cuddle.
"Here, Cuddle! Flowers for you! Happy Valentine's!"
"Awwww, gwarsh, Dreeuuft, them's purty."
Oh, oh. Cuddle is acting demure. Which is problematic since Cuddle is never demure. She's a psychopath.
"Aha! This is MY time of the year!"
Oboy. It's the Frozen Love Ranger. He doesn't shoot darts of love. He shoots javelin sized arrows. He's a serial killer.
"I wanted you to know my heart, Cuddles!"
"Aawww! I'd luv ta get hold'a yoor heart rite naow, Dreeuft!"
"I should be able to skewer them both with one shot."
Come to think of it, the Fortnite clans aren't the best group to represent Valentine's.
BUT, nonetheless, Happy Valentine's 2026 from Paprihaven!
💘❤💓💔💕💖💗💙💚💛💜💝💞
