I took a relaxing day trip to the Adirondacks on Saturday. I got some nice drone images while there.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
One of the adorable little leaf-cutter bees that I gave a home to last summer. I live in Maryland but these were ordered from a breeder.

Fort Mason, once known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California, is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay.
Just another wider take on this scene to help give you a sense of how truly massive these cranes are.
Remember in this post how I shared a bit about my surprise as to how busy the Savannah rail terminal is: flic.kr/p/2orwBib Well this should put it into starker relief for your. This is the Mason Mega Rail Terminal viewed looking down from Bourne Ave. (compass northwest) at the east half of the 18 track yard. Each of the two groups of 9 tracks has four wide span cranes reaching across its breadth. Everything here you see is new to support the absolute explosion in container volume through the Georgia Port Authority's. To put in perspective in 2003 the port handled 1.5 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units) and 5.9 million in 2022 and are building out capacity to support up to 9 million by 2025! There are tons of stories online about the port and this growth but here are a couple specific to the rail terminal in this photo:

In days of old the port trackage was operated by the Savannah State Docks Railroad but since 1998 has been operated under contract to the Genesee and Wyoming as the Savannah Port Terminal Railroad. With the contract extended it seems like this road will be around for the long term and busier than ever.

A pair of Georgia Central GP38-2s are dwarfed by the cranes with GC 2115 having been blt. Nov. 1979 as Chicago and Northwestern 4610. The SAPT only rosters three units in their own lettering and two of those, original Savannah State Docks SW1001s, are on the EPA consent decree 'kill list' that was all the talk a couple months ago. Sadly I eient get to see them during my very brief outing.

A stunning little beast. Quite fascinating creatures. As ever, Stephen Falk has documented them rather well - www.flickr.com/photos/63075200@N07/collections/7215763704...

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
We traveled around Mason Lake to a peaceful campsite where we had lunch. A few dozen people were around the bend on the other side of the lake noisily enjoying themselves. Thankfully, we didn't hear them very much in this spot.
We scrambled around the lake to a small campsite to eat lunch far from the noisy crowd. There was a cold wind blowing but no rain. Would have been good to have a rain (we had raincoats along) because everything was very, very dry.

From Wikipedia about the name Mason.
The popularity of this name has increased in recent years, becoming the second most popular name given to boys in the United States in 2011
By a strange coincidence, I named my cat in 2011 by this name

In the large size you can see the pits that give this wasp its name... The ID was confirmed by iNaturalist.
Mason Greenwood is 18 and there was an article about him in today's Times.
That shouldn't come as a surprise as there was an article about him in yesterday's Times, too. And the day before, and the day before that ... and ...
You get the picture. Mason may just be a special footballer.

We hiked up Mason Creek yesterday. The creek was often full of new tree fall and debris. But I found this sweet little spot.
Explored.
Mason was one of a litter of four kittens, gifted to us in 2005 by a little pregnant stray we named Coconut. Sixteen years of wonderful memories would follow. Thank you, Coconut.

Iowa Traction 54 pulls a single car from the AGP bean mill at West Mason City, IA as motor 51 holds the main with scrap loads from Emery. With a limited physical plant, IATR would normally use two motors at West Mason City to get all of the switching, industry, and interchange work done quickly and efficiently. Watching the two man crew perform their moves hopping from one motor to the other, swapping roles between motorman and switchman, and raising and lowering trolley poles, was like watching a well choreographed dance. An iron ballet, if you will. I haven't been back to the Traction in well over a decade, but hopefully the show still goes on.
