I had a brilliant day yesterday . It started with a cycle down to the coast on a perfect morning. I had planned to go fishing but a stye tide hadn't dropped much I went to check the bees. As I was inspecting one colony I heard this amazing noise all around, and looked up to see a big swarm wheeling all around. Thye were entering a vacant hive right next to me. What a wonderful experience, to just stand there in this vortex of whirling bees. Leter I spent a wonderful hour at the edge of the sea watching the waves pounding up the sand. I also caught a Cod so was very happy. A cycle back home for a perfect day. Bloodbuzz Ohio is by the National , and is one of the few songs I have that mentions a swarm of bees. In this image from last year I'm imagining the mighty cloud is the swarm.

Packard series
Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.

The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio. It was established in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1803.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1978.
Lebanon is located on the old road between Cincinnati and Columbus. For this reason, many notables have visited the inn. The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Daniel Webster, Robert A. Taft, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.

I remember seeing Soo Line SD60's in Berea when I was really young, so when I heard that one was leading an eastbound ethanol train and was set to run on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line, I knew I had to try for a few shots, despite the less than ideal weather. Here, train 6K4 stomps upgrade through Wooster Cut in Wooster, Ohio with SOO (CEFX) 6020 leading the way.

The train will do it's work and make a turn back for Newark later that afternoon.

I've heard opinions that film, particularly color negative film, is not sharp. I've also heard that lenses from the eighties and nineties are really not sharp. To the owners of those opinions, I respectfully present this image. While yes, it has been sharpened, so have most digital images.
I think the biggest problem that people who believe that film is soft face is that film, even when shot by a photographer who knows what she/he/they is/are doing, still needs a really good scanner with sharp focus and a really good scanner operator. Although I have an Epson Perfection 800, a dedicated 35mm film scanner with autofocus, and various camera macro lens scanning rigs, nothing beats a really skilled professional scanner and scanner operator at a professional lab except for a really skilled professional drum scanner operator at a pro lab. None of this, unfortunately, is cheap. If it were, I would likely consider shooting film only.
