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.
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.

I saw lots of Tree Swallows on my visit to Mason Neck and they were not darting around like crazy (as they often do); they are a beautiful birds if you can get a good look at them.

There lies a road ahead of me.
I stand still, frozen in a moment
A place where I have no body
I am just soul
Leaves rustle up a storm
Signs of turmoil
The nip a little cold
But brings back the
Comforting memories
Of a Winter to come.
I hold still a moment longer,
Hoping for an omen of direction
But none arrives.
I step forward, treading cautiously
That my footsteps may not
Be told by falling foliage.
I quicken my pace,
Resolving that even an
Erroneous passage
Is better than the one
Which is never taken.

Here's the Mason with the engine truck swiveled over about as far as it will go to the right; the inverted dish pieces under the smokebox slide along cylinder saddle until they encounter the valve chests.
I've been wanting to photograph this one for a long time. This is one of the few remnants of Mason's rural farming past that remains. Mason is one of the fastest-growing suburban sprawl areas in the entire United States. To the left of this picture is a Kroger's grocery store, and there are modern-day fast food places and stripmalls everywhere surrounding this house. How has this survived? This is located on Kings Mill Road (Route 741) in Mason.
Male of Megachile (Chalicodoma) parietina.
Technique: After photographing this mason bee in my lavender I turned it loose in a plant on my patio while I went to have lunch. Evidently the little guy got active and had lunch as well, because this is how I found him later on that same afternoon. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering).
