Well, bike path less traveled, alongside the highway. A couple of inches of new snow two days ago, and I am the first human to tread here.
Under 3 inches. Bounce lighting. Glossy black paper background. Redux of a less well composed image which has been deleted.
For Smile on Saturday. I hope this fits the theme. I love these wild carrot flowers. The light seems to rest on them so beautifully. This one is just about to burst into bloom.
Bicycle chain. Less than 1 1/2 inches. Square format. Photograped above a T-shirt background placed on the pavement.
Southern Pacific SD45T-2R No. 6827 leads a 46-car Kansas City to Oakland auto train east of Kobe, Colorado on March 29, 1997. This historic D&RGW route over the Continental Divide would be shut down to through traffic by the Union Pacific Railroad in less than five months.

In the gloom of this night of bright sweet dark light
You hear the voice of my memory just walking slowly
You hear the memory of those who would like to die trying
Oh how I wish, oh how I wish I loved you less.....
~ Concha Buika, Oro Santo (English Translation)
Photos from the rolling red Toyota blind continue with a prairie dog doing its characteristic "jump-yip" - usually a warning call to other colony members, but sometimes (apparently) an "all clear" signal.
This little sentinel has the added advantage of having dug a burrow right beside a large rock: nobody's sneaking up on him! This shot is from last spring. I managed several jump-yip shots last week, but none were as good. It happens fast and is over in less than a second, the body launching up, with an accompanying high-pitched vocalization. Often it will be answered by neighbouring prairie dogs.
Grasslands National Park lies at the northern extent of this species' range, and is the only place in Canada where they are found.

It's when you are down on the ground you see it all
What kind of perspective do we have on our lives
We want this and that and never gets satisfied
Less is more is something we may learn as the years go by
Yes, I suddenly felt at least like 60 now

two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
From "The Road Not Taken " by Robert Frost
If you look carefully you can see the little path that runs alongside the canal. Please view large.
These days the upper reaches of the River Tamar, which forms the boundary between Cornwall (on this side) and Devon, are very quiet. But less than a hundred years ago this would have been a hive of activity with sailing barges plying their trade up and down the river. The quay at Cotehele was one of several along the River Tamar and was particularly important in the 18th and 19th centuries. Small ships would take goods including copper, tin and arsenic to Plymouth and further afield. At Cotehele there were several warehouses, a small boatyard, lime kilns and a large Georgian inn. The lime kilns made lime with which to dress the farmers' fields and improve the yield of crops. The coal and limestone required to make the lime would have been brought up the River Tamar, with the coal almost certainly coming from south Wales. The quay and the Cotehele estate both belong to the National Trust.

As Einstein said "Life is like riding a bicycle..To maintain the balance you need to keep moving"
Recent events have once again proved Einstein to be right :-)

From the Cornell Lab:
"The Lesser Prairie-Chicken is a pale grouse of the southern Great Plains, found only in prairie and agricultural land with shinnery oak and sand sagebrush. Once widespread and abundant, its numbers have crashed following heavy hunting in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and then conversion of its natural habitat to cropland and rangeland. Like its close relative, the larger, darker Greater Prairie-Chicken, male Lesser Prairie-Chickens gather in spring on “leks,” sites where males compete for females by performing spectacular displays."
This shot was taken at Smoky Valley Ranch, a Nature Conservancy property in western Kansas. More than half of all lesser prairie chickens in the world are in western Kansas. The Nature Conservancy is playing a key role in preserving the species.
Third and final installment in my grouse series.
Unfortunately, it was mostly cloudy without a clear shot of the moon but the clouds and moonlight offered a unique sky for a Blue Moon-less mage

“The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.”
