Auspiciously, this Asian Comma flew into the garden today to mark Lunar New Year's Day in Korea. The first butterfly I have seen this year, it might also have been encouraged by the mild weather after a freezing week. Anyway, welcome! The comma is always the first to appear in these parts.

The countdown. We readied our jetpacks, checked our weapons, grabbed a few ammo clips. And then we were told to plunge in the deep darkness of the Tarisian Undercity. "Alright, men, get ready. Voché, pop the hatch!" 3..... The hatch opened, and we got our first view on the wreck that was once a city.... 2..... I slowly walked to the edge..... 1..... "Drop!" I relaxed all my muscles, and dropped down in a mind boggling free fall.
Brakes, the idiot, thought he'd be cool if he would do some skydiving tricks. Well, what goes around comes around. A clone from another platoon got hit nearby, and the explosion that followed threw Brakes off course, interrupting his current looping. I don't know where he landed, but I'm sure he'll be fine. Hatch thought it was smart to disobey my command and go after him, so know I have to do it with two men less. Well, I think I'm better off without those guys anyway.
After we landed, the search started. We had to get to some kind of river and await the Destroyers there. I had left Trev to cover our six, in case the Seps had dispatched more droids to assist the Destroyer team. We started picking them off one by one. But after four of those things, we got to a new part of the area, a little further down. As we entered, a Droideka suddenly 'appeared' right in front of me. While I finished it, out of nowhere we were under fire. Perfect...
"Ambush, ambush!" "Copper, get down here! Everyone, find cover!" "This place is a fuckin' death trap!" "Shut it, Carter!" "Sir, I see them!" "What do you see, Copper?" "The snipers!" "What snipers?" "Droideka snipers." "Retreat, retreat! Did you say Droideka snipers ? Seriously?" "Sir I recommend we call for assistance!" "Good idea, Voché."

Leslie is a large village and parish on the northern tip of the River Leven Valley, to the west of Glenrothes in Fife. The village was granted burgh of barony status by James II in 1458 for George Leslie who became the first Earl of Rothes. Later, this was upgraded to a police burgh in 1865.
Leslie is a linear settlement with the historic high street as its main focus. A large proportion of housing in Leslie is traditional however there are concentrations of more contemporary housing in the west of the village. The high street contains a number of community facilities including shops, pubs, restaurants and a dentist. Leslie also has a primary school which is located in the west of the village. The former Fettykil paper mill lies within the Leven valley to the south and historic Leslie House, former stately home of the Earls of Rothes, sits in large grounds to the south-east of the village within Riverside Park (gutted by fire in 2009)
The town is a key destination on the Fife Pilgrim Way- a historic walking route for pilgrims making their way to St Andrews. [Wikipedia]
Saturday, 16 June 2018: The New England Southern Railroad (NEGS) crew heads Northbound through Caboose Village with SW1500 2555 and two loads of clay slurry. Half way through 2018 and this was only the third train of the year for this vetenable New Hampshire Shortline. Sadly this was not an uncommon occurrence as the railroad would only handle about 12 revenue cars a year for their sole customer 3M corporation.
However, things would soon be turning around for the railroad and this train would be a hint of things to come as they would spend their morning spiking ties on the South End of the branch. Although a common occurrence on most railroads NEGS only made spiking runs a couple times a year as they would use the locomotive as a giant air compressor for their home made spiker. NEGS would make many runs this year as they stuffed in a few new ties and buttoned up the line for a 6,000 foot military train that would ply the rails in just under a month. The train would be loaded at the railroad’s Canterbury Yard by the New Hampshire National Guard for a training exercise in Grayling Michigan.
After the spiking at MP C3 was done they would continue South to Pan Am Railways Concord Industrial Track in Concord where they would pick up their two loads seen here. They then would head North 23 miles on the White Mountain Branch to the Lochmere Runaround in Tilton where they would put the locomotive on the other end of the train. After the runaround was complete they would head back South to 3M to spot the loads and pull the empties before running South again to Canterbury Yard to tie down for the day. The crew would finish their trip to interchange the empties the next day along with trimming brush along the line for better visibility of where their military train would spend the night.

they wait for boarding. he doesn’t. his journey has no gate, no delay, no number. the floor reflects them all the same — traveler, worker, ghost. the space is unfinished, a terminal without time. they look down at screens. he looks forward.
Für mich wäre Kopenhagen die Nummer 1 :)
"Most liveable city: Helsinki
Helsinki claims the number 1 spot in Monocle’s 2011 Quality of Life survey, which ranks the top 25 cities in the world to call home. Rising from fifth position in 2010, Helsinki outperformed Zürich at number 2 and Copenhagen at number 3 to claim the mantle as the world’s most liveable city."
Erie Mining caboose No. 1 brings up the rear of a 96-car pellet train headed for Taconite Harbor. EMCO's original cabooses were bay-window but were converted to extended vision as shown here. Erie was an early adopter of EOT devices so it wouldn't be much longer after I took this shot that pellet trains would operate sans caboose.
There are a number of things I desire to accomplish in my second set of 100 Strangers, and Stranger #103 represents one of those objectives. In my first set, I obtained only a small handful of portraits in which I ventured to capture anything below the waist. I like the intimacy of the standard head and shoulders shots, but I feel that I need to be able to include ½, ¾, and full body shots into my repertoire in order to be a well-rounded portrait photographer. That said, I personally find this to be a difficult feat to accomplish. Even with my last portrait of Stranger 102 Ashley, it was very challenging for me to back up enough to capture the primary focus of the image: her pregnant belly (and in hindsight I wish I had backed up one more step).
Let me start with a brief description of our encounter. It was Stranger #103’s red hair that initially caught my attention, but I doubted that she would have the time to pose for a portrait. She and her husband were on their way to the afternoon matinee performance at the Playhouse Theatre. I figured that they were running late because I’d been in the area for a while and I saw that foot traffic toward the theatre was starting to dwindle. I decided to take a chance, and I basically walked with them as l introduced myself and explained the project. Her name was Angela, and she was very sweet and showed interest in participating. She turned and asked her husband, and although he indicated that they were in a hurry, he was good enough to agree on the condition l could complete the portrait in short order.
Now that I had my model and I knew that I was on the clock, I took a quick glance around to determine my backdrop. The feature that most jumped out at me was the brick pavers underneath our feet. Although I had not initially approached Angela with the intention of doing a full body shot, I figured the pavers plus the fact that the sidewalk was now void of people might lend itself to such a portrait. I posed Angela and started backing up. This was so incredibly difficult for me, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I am accustomed to trying to capture details in the eyes and face, and to be that far away from my subject makes me feel entirely disconnected. Also, it is clearly a compositionally different kind of shot, and I think I struggle balancing all of the different aspects of the shot ….much like I struggled when I first began street portraiture. I ended up taking about a half dozen shots, and in most of those I cut off all or part of Angela’s boots. I even considered cropping this into a ½ body portrait. Fortunately I was able to capture at least one image with the full package.
So here is my first of what I hope to be several full body shots in my second set. I am not going to critique my work here, but I certainly see room for improvement with regard to pose and composition. However, I think this is a nice base line, and it will be interesting for me to see how I can develop this into my own style as I progress. Also, I hope that I can establish some sort of comfort level with the simple act of stepping backwards.

It took me 12 hours from the Bay Area down to Santa Barbara. The question is not whether to stop every 20 miles. It is more like whether to stop every 5 miles. Or less. Or you miss another beautiful spot.

I tried telling a story from his point of veiw. :)
I am Assah Thamby. I live in Kuala Lumpur. When I was coming out of Murugan temple at Batu Caves, I heard some gun shots and a group of people chasing a man into a restaurant close to the parking area. Then I saw a huge group of people rushing in to see what was happening. I got panicked and tried to join them, but there was a barricade. Then I was looking around and I saw some people laughing about it saying its a film shoot of Telugu movie 'Billa' remake of Tamil one. I was relaxed and I thought its fun to watch a movie shoot, so making most of the time, I lighted a cigarette, and stood there with my daughters for a while.
Among the film crew, an Indian photographer caught my eye, to my surprise he came up to me and asked if he could take a picture of mine. I said yes, he clicked a picture, and he didn't stop there. He said he wants to take some more shots while I was smoking. For the last one he wanted a serious face, then I figured what he was looking for. I asked him 'like a crooked fellow?'. He was too happy for what I said and immediately said 'yes, thats the one'. He showed those few pictures to us and asked my name and e-mail ID so that he can send the shots. I told him my name, but I don't have an e-mail ID. My daughter gave him her e-mail ID.
The stars of the show at the Bison Range are, of course, the bison. I did see small herds of cows and calves in the distance, plus a number of lone bulls around the reserve, peacefully enjoying the lush grasses on which they depend to fatten up for the winter lean season. The total number of bison on the range is about 300-500, depending on how many calves are born each year.
In 1908, the federal government carved 18,766 acres out of the Flathead Indian reservation for a very small bison conservation herd. Following the ensuing decades of negotiation, contracts signed and broken, purchases and sales, agreements and betrayals, and numerous legal and legislative actions, in late 2020, management of the range became a fruitful partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes (CKST) on whose land the range resides.
The range is meticulously managed to assure quality habitat for the 300-500 head of bison, plus elk, deer, pronghorns, bighorns, bears, many other small mammals, and birds, wildflowers and other native vegetation, and to maintain healthy waterways, including Mission Creek. Two loop roads and a lovely visitor center are open for public visitation for a modest fee.
Every Day!

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before You. Each man's life is but a breath! Selah." Psalm 39:4-5
"So teach us to number our days — that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom!" Psalm 90:12
You alone, O Lord, can teach to profit — help me to number my days aright!
Surely my days are few and fleeting and uncertain! Days past are gone beyond recall — and my future days I cannot number. Let me then this day, and day by day, confide in You — and look to You for the very help and grace I need.
Surely it is the highest wisdom to renounce self, to cleave to Christ, and to keep the great end of my being in view — "to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." This is an object worth living for, and which may well engage all the powers of my mind.
Nor let me suppose that it is needful to turn aside from the occupations of my daily life to honor the God of my salvation; for He teaches me that whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do — I may do all to His glory. To this then may I apply my heart, with all diligence and constancy — constrained by the love of Him who gave Himself for me!
"Every day I will bless You — and I will praise Your name forever and ever!" Psalm 145:2
As I noted yesterday, that day's southbound effort to find fall color wasn't particularly successful. So a year ago today I ventured a few miles north. That plan worked better.
I found my best pix on Murtha Road. The Olympus caught some trees across the fields; my Canon found a nice farmyard.
