Bluejay in my Dogwood Tree
I think he might have been frozen from a hawk scare as he sat like this for what seemed like several minutes not moving a muscle.
Colorado’s Minturn Yard is bustling with new Southern Pacific GE AC4400CWs on September 5, 1995. To the right on the main line, a helper set trailed by No. 143 returns from pushing tonnage up the 3% grades east (south) of town, while SP No. 280 leads three others on the point of an eastbound coal load waiting for the helpers to pass so it can head east to add two sets of manned helpers to the heavy train. Another AC4400CW helper set led by No. 276 (not in the picture yet) will be cut into the 105-car train 58 cars back, while a second helper set led by No. 200 will be cut in 15-cars from the rear. Ten scarlet and gray AC4400CWs and three crews will soon muscle the hulking train up to the top of Tennessee Pass. Today, Minturn Yard is empty, rusting and sad…
Dodge Charger R/T
Production period 1968/1970.
Dodge Chargers are a great choice for a muscle car restoration project.
Aside from the base 318ci V8, the 383ci motor was offered in both two or four-barrel versions, producing 290 and 330 horsepower, respectively.
On the top of the engine option list was the 375 horsepower 440 Magnum and the legendary 426 Hemi.
Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have a Great Week. 🌞✌
Professional boxing in Gloucester, England - title fight between Danny Carter and Andy Keates
I thought I had a black and white edit of this shot but I didn't... (I guess I liked it better at the time in colour as you can see all the blood splatter from Danny's mouth in glorious technicolour) so here it is... a new edit in glorious monochrome
That's one seriously muscle-bound insect! By comparison, humans have just 629 muscles in a considerably larger body.
The caterpillar's head capsule alone consists of 248 individual muscles, and about 70 muscles control each body segment. Remarkably, each of the 4,000 muscles is innervated by one or two neurons.
Caterpillars have 12 eyes.
On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. One of the 6 eyelets is usually offset a bit, and located closer to the antennae. You would think an insect with 12 eyes would have excellent eyesight, but that's not the case. The stemmata serve merely to help the caterpillar differentiate between light and dark. If you watch a caterpillar, you'll notice it sometimes moves its head from side to side. This most likely helps it judge depths and distances.
I visited South Lakes wild animal park yesterday with my fiancee. I dopped her off at 7:45am because I had bought her a present of zoo keeper for the day which she thoroughly enjoyed although she has found muscles that she did not know existed today...lol!! I went off to Coniston water (more of which later) and returned to the park at 10am. This male and female Sumatran tigers had just finished "holding hands" when the female underneath decided enough hand holding was enough!!

My husband was in the hospital 4-3-06 (Baylor Hospital, Dallas, TX), and the construction going on outside his window (3rd floor) was fascinating. These guys are risk-takers!
The Pontiac GTO, often considered the first true muscle car, became an instant legend with its powerful V8 engine and bold design. With its iconic “GTO” badge, the car represented a new era of performance and set the stage for the muscle car movement.
Fun Fact: The GTO stands for “Gran Turismo Omologato,” a nod to its heritage as a high-performance homologation model.

Great Northern SD45 #400, "Hustle Muscle" leads the North Shore Scenic Railroad's weekly "Two Harbors Turn".
This particular excursion (as of 2025) operates once a week on Thursdays, while the "Duluth Zephyr" and "Pizza Express" run Fridays-Sundays.
GN 400 is paired with former Northern Pacific 245, which was also fired up and humming along on this diesel double-header. Naturally, a short chase was in order.
Seeing GN 400 run is like seeing an old friend, as it was 10 years ago it operated in Osceola, WI while on lease to MTM, where I volunteered at the time. The locomotive had an eventful decade since, getting a new 20-645 engine and being re-homed to Duluth. It doesn't operated much, but has seen regular service on most of LSRM's trains in June and now July.
Here the train departs the museum as it traditionally does by shoving out of the depot and onto the NSSR mainline.
