This Bobcat has been hanging out around the backyard, looking for a squirrel lunch, for a couple of months. Getting a little too comfortable around me.

This is our newest family member that we have had since May, when we lost our oldest bird Lisa (after close to 9 years).
Nemo is a cockatiel and has been a bit shy so haven´t had a picture to post until now.
She´s out more and more, enjoying the company of us, Pino and Sonny, A curious lady filled with energy and such a cute little feather spike on top of her head.
I hope to post some more pics of my birds now and then. Such a shame that I have rarely posted pictures of them but will get better at this.
Have a lovely Sunday,

Finally made it up to the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Range here in Colorado a couple of days ago. What an amazing place. Found this little filly, the newest addition to one of the herds there. She was recorded being born on 3/30 so only a couple of weeks old.
Approaching the landscape timber to crawl over as she wasn't interested in the offer to chat a bit. I think she has taken up residence under my hose reel.

Even though I've done pretty well at the Sandersville over the years, still would have been a bit annoyed if the newest member of the roster had been leading the Deepstep train. But since it was working one of the other jobs, it was nice grab one bonus shot for the record. Obviously a former NS/SOU MP15, the 1600 should look really nice once it gets a coat of Sandersville gray and red.
Excerpt from www.watercanada.net/light-shower-towers/:
Toronto’s newest stormwater system is breathtaking.
Housed in the pavilion basement at Sherbourne Common, a new park in the city’s rapidly developing East Bayfront area, the treatment facility cleans collected storm and lake water with ultraviolet (UV) light. The treated water is then sent underground to the north side of the park where it is released through three nine-metre-high art sculpture towers. The water flows from the tops of the towers down metal mesh veils and into a 240-metre-long water channel, or urban river, where it then flows into Lake Ontario.
Artist Jill Anholt’s Light Showers water towers are lit at night; as people move over the bridge of the water channel, motion sensors trigger shifting light patterns in the water as it falls from the sculptures. The mesh veils of the art sculptures are designed to capture water in the winter to form unique ice patterns.
Regardless of its attractiveness, the system and others like it have elicited some blowback from critics, especially in a time when many municipalities are worried about growing infrastructure deficits. Are the extra features necessary? Anholt’s sculptures don’t contain UV lamps and play only a minor role in the treatment process—they provide further aeration and act as a conduit to bring treated water to raised pools.
While some people may criticize Waterfront Toronto’s choice, others believe the art is a worthwhile investment. Waterfront Toronto chair Mark Wilson sees it as a catalyst for the further development of the East Bayfront neighbourhood. “The park has already helped us attract private and public sector partners who are working with us to transform this former industrial area into a dynamic new community,” he says. The City plans to recover the cost for the art feature—$1.9 million—through development fees as part of Waterfront Toronto’s public art strategy.
Others argue that making infrastructure visible is important to public understanding. During last April’s Out of Water: Sustaining Development in Arid Climates conference at the University of Toronto. (see “In the Eye of the Beholder,” a blog post at www.wordpress-139196-653073.cloudwaysapps.com), one audience member said water infrastructure is often designed to blend with the environment. “Often, we don’t even know it’s there—but is that a good thing?” she asked. Maybe it’s important, she posited, that we see, recognize, and feel comfortable with the mechanisms that allow us to maintain the lives we’re accustomed to living and, at a basic level, survive.
During a presentation at the Ecocity World Summit this August in Montreal, Concordia University graduate student Cecilia Chen discussed the importance of mapping the flows of streams and aquifers beneath and around urban spaces to increase awareness that cities are, in some ways, nothing more than watersheds. Water’s role in an urban ecosystem, she said, goes unrecognized because it travels underground and out of sight. It’s only when a storm-drain overflows and what she calls “hybrid water” becomes visible that awareness increases.
James Roche, director, parks design and construction for Waterfront Toronto, isn’t interested in separating infrastructure, landscape, and public space. “There’s more to gain from combining these fields,” he says. Roche says we ignore water’s important, though background, role in commerce and cities. “It changes how we live on a daily basis. The Sherbourne Common design helps to bring water back into the public realm.”
Following in the tradition of projects such as Stephen Holl Architects’ Whitney Water Treatment Plant in New Haven, Connecticut—a long, stainless steel building built in an inverse-raindrop shape—and Hervé Descottes’ breathtaking lighting design for the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brooklyn, New York, Sherbourne Common serves as a reminder of the role water plays in our lives.
For Rob in Western Australia as promised, Brisbane's newest bridge, the Kangaroo Point bridge. It crosses the Brisbane River from the bottom of Edward Street in the city (near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens) to Kangaroo Point on the other side, not far from the Story Bridge which runs at 90 degree to it as the river makes a big turn downstream to the right.
The Kangaroo Point Bridge has two cafe/restaurants on its city bank (not seen in this shot taken from the Customs House) and has a pedestrian and separated bike lane. It has been a bit of a godsend lately for people who live on the Kangaroo Point side as the pedestrian paths on the Story Bridge have been totally closed since Cyclone Alfred undergoing a safety assessment.

CP 2227 leads a trio of tricked-out passenger cars that make up the newest Canadian Pacific "Tech Train" north along the frozen Mississippi at a railroad location known as Edmore. Edmore is a siding just north of Dubuque, adjacent to the John Deere Dubuque Works that is still the major employer in Dubuque County, but which hasn't used rail service directly at this plant in many years. The curve here at the siding always makes for a fine scene, with the river bluff backdrop and the waters pooled up due to the presence of Lock and Dam No 11 just downstream from here.
As I understand it this new Tech Train set, also known as a track geometry train which is used for detailed track inspections, was built in Kansas City. This move was it's first ferry move north for setup before being pressed into service. Even on a dreary day the bright red certainly popped amidst the snowy countryside.
This is the first bloom of my newest plant, Early royal dwarf iris ‘pixie’. It is just 2.5 inches across and 4 inches high.

CSXT 4758 and 4744 lead M244 east elephant style through the interlocking at Warwick on a hot September afternoon. They're crossing over from the CL&W alignment to the former B&O main as they make miles towards their eventual stop at Lordstown.
Our latest addition to the roster is GP15-1 # 008 which was acquired from MEI and is former UPY 635 originally MP 1635. The orange paint scheme was at customers request as this unit will go to a contract in Loudon TN hence the Tennessee colors. Seen at St Louis MO Oct 30th 2024 where it will undergo shake down runs before shipping off to TN.
Keepers Newest Pilgrim Design!
After much interest, I decided to make another Pilgrim outfit.
This time I have tried to capture the true essence of a Colonial Pilgrim dress. It has proven to be quite the challenge due to the lack of historical pictures and descriptions available.
This early Colonial Pilgrim outfit consists of six pieces. Coif ( cap), ruff or falling band (collar), waist coat, chemise, apron and petticoat (skirt).
The waistcoat and petticoat are made from an olive green silk noil fabric. The waistcoat has a short peplum divided at center back. It is lined with a dark grey satin. The shoulder line is dropped with sleeve bands. Black mini buttons flank each side of the front and fasten together with a black looped trim. The plain floor length petticoat fastens with a single snap closure at the back of the waistband. The coif, falling band collar, chemise and apron are made from an ivory batiste. The chemise has a small standup collar, dropped shoulders with gathered sleeves and elasticized cuffs. The falling band collar or "ruff" is lightly gathered and ties in the front center with an ivory ribbon. The coif has an elasticized back and ties under the chin. The apron is long and narrow. It ties at the back waist.
