This is taken in the local art market in Antibes. I tried many things with frames...however not satisfied. I will appreciate suggestions for the frames especially for this picture.
Our plan for a cloudy Sunday was to head for Two Harbors to photograph the Canada Steamship Lines vessel St - Laurent, which has a special colorful mural painted on it to celebrate Canada's 150th Anniversary. We didn't get far when this pair of green SD40-2s caught our attention yarding a loaded grain train at Rices Point. I suspect these might be off the Kelly Lake local and in the Ports for weekend servicing.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
One thing high on the "to do' list was the H51/52 locals based out of Max on the New Town Sub. For the CP in 2017, this consist is pretty sweet. The H51 day job ended up going out to New Town and back on Monday. Here we chased them back towards Max. The job crosses one of the few wooden bridges left on this west end. Pretty amazing how much business has grown up in this part of the North Dakota! They are working on adding more tracks still to this area. Far cry from what this line once was!
Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The community has approximately 30 residents who live in wooden houses, both floating and built on pilings, along the marshy river bank. Many of the buildings were built between the late 19th century and 1950s and many have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Most of these residents made a good living from fishing and became local landowners.

This is the partner of the hummingbird that I posted yesterday. I had fun sitting on the patio waiting for these guys to make their rounds and feed in my yard. Instead of coming to my lantana, they were feeding on the flowers in my neighbor's tree. I was really impressed with the way my new lens was able to reach out and capture these little guys. Looking forward to using it more in the future.

Pentax SMC Takumar 55mm, developed in Affinity Photo. This group of bushes is located right next to the parking lot at Piper's lagoon. I love the contrast of the white blossoms against the gnarly and lichen encrusted branches, but had not thought to try the Tak on it. In some ways it is the best results I have achieved to date, and these at the very end of the photoshoot when I was tired and ready to break my fast. Glad I stopped.

My notes from this trip in 1994 had this down as a 'Reno Local', taken somewhere around Reno. However, I can't locate the exact place on maps.
It was once thought -
It was once thought the world rested on the back of three mighty elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle swimming in the sea of eternity.
That sea is but only one tear to me,
Carrying away the burdens I have lifted from thee
My back carries the pains of a million lives
Holding the weight of the world as it thrives
My heart has helped many a love
All of them caging in my freedom dove
The pain I carry is not so vast
Because more keeps appearing in the past
My pillars of strength are frail and weak
The aging timbers of support begin to creak
I hold the weight of many a pain
Out of all of them I had something to gain?
Love lost and drifted away
Flowing into a mighty sea created today
Won’t you walk freely in life’s field?
So your weighted pain I might yield.

This picture was actually an older one, taken about a year ago, that I never used. Mostly because it wasn't the shot I wanted and it looked somewhat depressing. It was taken on an outing with one of the local photoclubs in Seattle. I remember thinking that this elephant looked unhappy at the zoo, almost depressed. I remember thinking, what is it like to have to be trapped in here and stared at when you would normally be roaming thousands of miles in a far away country. It seemed like an almost cruel burden to bear and thus, it fits.
*btw, no she isn't standing on any turtles that I know of*

This poem reaches into part of me that I don't often let people see. Childhood is supposed to be a time where we all have happy memories and our little inner child is at peace. But sometimes, life isn't that happy place for a child and someone much stronger has to take hold and bear the weight of the many bad things that have happened to a child. Even then, sometimes that person realizes that although they are strong enough to bear that burden, even they do not stand a chance against the burdens of the world and of what memories can bring down upon us.
I would hope this message would come to everyone reading -
Life often hands us things that are unfair, even cruel, and those around it see only the shell of it. Next time you see someone, or something, that doesn't seem quite so happy, give them a second thought, a hand up, a shoulder to lean on, or even a tear to help wash away a little of the dirt that life has kicked in their face.

Attempting a pacing shot while manually cranking down the windows plus downshifting into 3rd gear is quite the experience. Nonetheless the South Local headed by BNSF 9625 is crusing south on the Casper Sub near Durkee on the sunny morning of May 22, 2025.
The Frederick local, D78625, returns west to Brunswick with another road slug set for power. Continuing my favorite game of "where did this road slug come from", the trailing unit is CSX 2387, originally built as SCL GP40 1629.
