FEC local train 910 blasts north out of Daytona Beach after working Conrad Yelvington. The train is passing the south end of Holly Hill siding and crossing over a black-water canal stemming from the Halifax River.
On just about any rain-free spring, summer or autumn afternoon in my hometown one can spot this hot air balloon. On three occasions this year it has landed in my neighborhood. As the wind currents slow, so does the balloon and eventually it must come down. I find myself chasing it and talking to the captain or helping the chase team pack it up. One of the really cool things about riding in a hot air balloon is . . . you don't feel the wind in your hair because you are traveling at the exact speed as the current.

NYS&W Southern Division local WS-3 pulls empties out of Belden Brick in Riverdale, NJ on the Pompton Industrial. The crew today brought along four "general purpose" EMD variants after needing the horsepower for a large train from Little Ferry to Saddle Brook. The last time four engines were consisted on this stretch of former Erie trackage was likely decades ago.
CSXT L13607 has just finished servicing Suburban Propane in Woodensburg, MD and is about to continue east to Emory Grove where the crew will interchange the three lumber flats and the boxcar with the Maryland Midland Railway. January 7, 2025, Ilford FP4, Nikon N8008.
UP LDG51B, better known as the Potash Local, departs Grand Junction on its westward journey. They will take the Green River Subdivision as far as Crescent Junction before turning onto the wildly-scenic Cane Creek subdivision for the trip to the potash mine. At the time, this job ran weekly on Sundays and was always a fan favorite. A GP60 and a GP40-2 provide power for this day's train.

While on the island of Barbados I took a tour with a professional photographer and a group of other tourists. He took us to a couple of good photo spots but also to a local restaurant. It is painted mostly red and black with white painted signage. The rocks are part of the foundation. I was captivated with their abstract possibilities.
Wisconsin Central GP7 1505 had the Schiller Park local L501 heading home as it rolled south through Buffalo Grove in 2001.
The 1501 was built by GMD in 1951 as Algoma Central 157 and was obtained when the WC took over the AC in 1995. The short high hood was chopped when it was repainted for the Wisconsin Central and scrapped by the Canadian National when they took over the WC.
As passengers wait for the next train, CSX Richmond-based local, D794 passes the station, headed north on the former RF&P mainline to its next stop. This was the only CSX train I saw moving on this morning -- everything else was Amtrak.
When local traffic is light you can shoot from the center of the street to get a straight on shot of First United Methodist church.
This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful

Ex-Conrail SD60M csxt 8758 & csxt 8726 rumble through downtown Hudson with thirty empties from the ADM Mill in Greenport on a cold, cloudy Saturday.
HEALTHY LIVING for me involves making much of our family food from local ingredients. And you can't get any more local than the Evans Cherry ( a sour cherry) tree 20 feet from my back door! Today we picked the fruit and within 2 hours turned into jam. Making my own healthy jam means I'm in control of the ingredients .... and I'm supposed to be in control of how much of it I eat :) ... Sometimes HEALTHY LIVING can be difficult!
for the Macro Monday challenge HEALTHY LIVING
Rundle Mall - fiddling with Dutch angles (remember them?). With the masked, restricted world we are in can't work out who is local and who is a tourist.
I do a bit of walking/cycling along the local canal towpaths and one thing I have noticed is the “division of labour” when it comes to operating the locks. Here is an example, almost without exception it seems that it is the female “crew member” who does all the hard labour, running around the lock, opening/closing the sluices, opening/closing the gates etc whilst the male “Captain of the boat” sits watching and then guides the boat into the lock. Equality does not seem to have reached the canal boating world.
Denholme Lock, Erewash Canal, 25th August 2018.
This little tree is 50 yards from my front door so when a blizzard hit this morning, it was easy to jump out and grab this shot
Our local eagles are spending a lot of time reestablishing their presence at the nest. Breeding season is upon us.
