which lies above a small stream on our place. I set the camera on the log with the lens pointing along its length and closed it down as far as it will go to get most of it in focus. Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

- it would seem these folks were pretty targeted at what they removed, a fairly environmentally concern group - it looks rough but not like clear-cutting
Went for a walk with my husband and the girls. Im just in love with all the moss on the trees and rocks. The girls do too! I was just messing abround taking photos of the log and the girls walking on it and fell in love with this one. Not sure why...just think it's neat how my husband and Haylee are out of focus and how the light is hitting them and the mossy log is in focus. It's just magical to me. It was such a wonderful weekend and we were able to spend it outside in the sun with each other which made it even better!

I ran out of time on this and had planned some lovely bokeh but events stopped that. We closed the curtains on the world and had a cosy fire last night so no bokeh from me but I’ll give it a go later this week. Temperature dropped significantly and is cold again this morning.
We were burning our own ash logs and we are very happy with them. Not happy to have lost the ash but at least we are able to use them in the wood burners.
At least as of February of 2020, California's Niles Canyon Railway was about the only place I know of where you could see a pair of compound, articulated Mallet Locomotives, both of which are fully operational.
On the left, we see Clover Valley Lumber Company #4, a Baldwin 2-6-6-2T saddle-tanker, built in 1924 for the Clover Valley Lumber Company of Loyalton, CA. She served that owner for over 30 years, before becoming a stationary boiler for a short time at the Tahoe Timber Company near Reno, Nevada. This locomotive was acquired by her present owner, the Pacific Locomotive Association (PLA) in 1973, and about 5 years later, she was in operation on the Castro Point Railway. When that line shut down, she was brought to her present home, the Niles Canyon Railway, which is operated by the PLA. She remained in storage here for many years until she was extensively rebuilt and put into service in 2012. Today, she is one of several steam locomotives which pull the tourist trains at Niles Canyon.
On the right is an even rarer locomotive. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1909, this unusual 2-4-4-2 articulated, compound Mallet was intended for the Little River Railroad in Townsend, TN as their number 126. Unfortunately, that railroad quickly determined that she was too long for the tight curves on their line and she was returned to Baldwin. In 1910, Baldwin managed to resell her to the Columbia River Belt Line Railway in Blind Slough, OR, where she was put to work as a logging engine. That railroad typically named their locomotives rather than number them, and this engine received the name "Skookum", which is apparently a Chinook term, meaning large, powerful or impressive. She served the Columbia River Belt Line from 1910 through 1920, before being sold to the Carlisle-Pennell Lumber Company, where she acquired the number 7. After a four-year stint there, she served 4 other railroads, including the Deep River Logging Company, where her long career came to a sudden end in 1955, when she rolled over with a string of empty log bunks. Since that line was in the process of shutting down, no attempt was made to recover her and she was left in place. In 1956, she was acquired by a man named Charles Morrow, who removed her from her wreck site in pieces....and she's spent the next 60 years in pieces, owned by several individuals and moved several different places. In 2005, Skookum was acquired by Chris Baldo, who had her moved to the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, with the goal of restoring her, a process which took 13 years. The restoration team slowly and methodically restored her major components and re-assembled her into the condition you see here. After running briefly on the Oregon Coast Scenic, she was brought to Niles Canyon by her owner, where she runs periodically, hauling the tourist trains and an occasional photo charter. Although this is her home for the time being, she is still privately owned. It has not been publicly announce how long she'll be here, or where she might go next.
