A new Mason Bee (at least new to me, possibly Hoplitis sp.) are the latest tenet in my solitary bee houses. They are extremely hyperactive and skittish. This one was taking a break on a stone wall close to my bee housing complex.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 1x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, manual mode, key (A) on a Kaiser Adjustable Flash Shoe set to 1/16 -1/3 and the fill (B) set to 1/32 -1/3. This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo AI and Clarity in that order.
Patrolling around the French Garden above the cafe. In surprisingly good feather this late in the season.

What a week.

On display in the roundhouse gallery of Baltimore's B&O Railroad Museum is one of the oldest examples of a classic, 4-4-0 "American Standard" locomotive, B&O Locomotive #25. Built in 1856 by the Mason Machine Works in Taunton, MA, this engine became the second B&O Locomotive to carry the number 25. She incorporated a number of innovative features which would later become "standard" equipment on engines of this type. Among these were the design of the smokebox, the pilot truck and the use of Stephenson Valve Gear. This locomotive's history is replete with significant events, including hauling the train carrying President-elect Abraham Lincoln to his inauguration in Washington, DC. This engine also participated heavily in the US Civil War, hauling troops and supplies to strategic locations throughout the 4 year conflict. She served the B&O until her retirement in 1892.
As one look around the current B&O museum will tell you, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad did a great job preserving numerous examples of its classic locomotives, which is why she survives to this day. Restored a number of times both during her service and in her retirement as a traveling exhibit, this engine has been kept operational for most of her history. She was exhibited at a number of rail events and Worlds Fairs. In 1927, the railroad gave her the name "William Mason" in honor of her builder.
In the 1950s, she enjoyed a brief period as a movie locomotive, participating in several productions, most notably as a stand-in for the Western & Atlantic "General" in the 1956 Disney production "The Great Locomotive Chase." Her last operating restoration took place in 1998 at the Strasburg Railroad, where she received her one and only 1,472 Service Day Inspection before participating in the filming of the movie "The Wild Wild West." Since then, she's been confined to the museum in Baltimore, where she made demonstration runs for several years.
During her most recent inspection in 2014 however, it was discovered that her crown sheet had worn too thin for safe operation and the cost of replacing it exceeded the museum's restoration budget. It was decided that for the foreseeable future she would become a static display, so she was cosmetically restored as you see her now. This decision ended her reign as the oldest operating steam locomotive in the US....at least for now. As I understand it, the issue is really funding. There is not much concern about destruction of historic fabric, because as noted previously, she's been rebuilt a number of times and the boiler is not original. Although her current paint scheme is shockingly different from anything she's worn for at least 120 years, a forensic analysis of the many layers of paint on her led the museum to conclude that this scheme is probably authentic for the mid-1800s period.

The memorial commemorates the contributions of Mason, a Founding Father who wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, served as a delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and created much of the language, inspiration, and groundwork for what became the United States Bill of Rights. Mason, an Anti-Federalist, did not sign the United States Constitution because it did not abolish the slave trade and because he did not think it had necessary protection for the individual from the federal government. He was sometimes known as the "reluctant statesman", which was also the title of a biography written about him by Robert A. Rutland.
Mr. Mason is a much more compliant subject than Ms. Amelia.
Taken with Sony A7 and Konica Hexanon 135mm 3.2 @ 3.2
Technique: It was a cool morning (17C) and the sun had gone behind the clouds. So I went looking for something that might be effected by the sudden lack of heat and I found this male Red Mason Bee.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 400) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

The old trail up to Mason Lake runs along the creek. You hear the water the entire hike to the lake, sometimes rushing close and others far away as the terrain flattens or the trail wanders away from the creek.

The best kept steam secret in the USA: the Mason Climax on the LH&W! And the most awesome! The builder, Keith Mason, used some parts from other engines and using blue prints of a Climax locomotive made the rest himself. Sadly Mr. Mason has passed away, yet his family maintains and runs the railroad on Wednesday evenings giving free rides. Managed a ride in the cab, this was a whale of a weekend.
It was quite a treat to take a brief break and sit in the spray of this waterfall on Mason Creek. It felt great after hiking on a very hot day. I prefer taking the Old Mason Lake Trail in warm weather as this trail stays in the shade of tall trees and has the added benefit of waterfall spray!
A look back at the coaches that visited the Farnborough Airshow in July 2014. Visitors using the Claycart coach parking area included Masons of Cheddington Van Hool T917A Astron C59FT YJ14BYS.
K37 moves past the Marquette Yard at the start of its journey west over the Mason City Sub. With Mason City our destination for the night we were well positioned to follow this one until dark. With a new track warrant they started to dig in for the climb out of the Mississippi River Valley. October 15, 2023.
