Housebound Roscoe sat on windowsill a tad fed up, so not really a 'Happy Cat'urday.

I waited until the sun came out for a moment to illuminate this lonely tree!

 

...no it's not HDR!

All of the men that earned livings to feed their families here in the Pennsylvania Railroad's shops in Crestline, Ohio have all clocked out and gone home. In fact, they've probably moved on from this world. Built during WWI, and closed with the Penn Central merger of 1968, what's left of PRR's sprawling Crestline Terminal facility stands as a testament of a different era in railroading. If you look through the open doors, you will see a portion of the roundhouse in the distance, just past where the turntable was. PRR's PFtW&C mainline here is now the Chicago, Fort Wayne, & Eastern RR, west of Crestline, and Norfolk Southern Rwy. east of town.

surrender is not one, but many

 

many as the days given into

night's safe keeping

 

many as the sands yielding

to the capture of the sea

 

many as the times our hearts

abandon fate for providence

 

many as the ways

love submits to hope

 

surrender is not death, but promise

delivered into open arms

 

into the next life rising

One of Metro North's aging GP40FH-3Cs shoves a solid MN Comet V "West of Hudson" set through East Rutherford, NJ on NJ Transit's Bergen County Line. This unit and many of its brethren are approaching 60 years in service.

This was my most memorable moment of the entire trip. The trail to Laguna de Los Tres was 10KM. After we set up the tent at Poincenot campsite, we climbed the final 1+KM steep section while the wind blew at gusts, it was very arduous. Around sunset, the sky was lit up and the clouds were flying as if Fitz Roy was on fire!!! I was stunned and didn't want to leave until the show was over. Of course hiking down in the dark was a bit painful. Slippery rocks, steep slopes, with not much vegetation to cling onto. My legs were trembling with each step…Believe or not, I went up again the next morning to watch a totally different show :)

Can't possibly mow the lawn until the bees are sated, or have more alternatives. And love the little suns across the garden...

Have a happy May Day!

A Lake State Railway northbound out of Bay City passes through Kawkawlin, MI behind two one-of-a-kind models on their roster, an HR-412 and C420. It was a bit warm for May and the crew may have left the door open for some air flow.

On a walk around the Christchurch Art Centre in December 2021. New Zealand.

 

The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora is a hub for arts, culture, education, creativity and entrepreneurship in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is located in the Gothic Revival former Canterbury College (now the University of Canterbury), Christchurch Boys' High School and Christchurch Girls' High School buildings, many of which were designed by Benjamin Mountfort. The centre is a national landmark and taonga as it is home to New Zealand's largest collection of category one heritage buildings with 21 of the 23 buildings covered by Heritage New Zealand listings.

Standing abount 9" tall, the Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio) never had to deal with Zack Morris, but one can imagine that he would have held his own. Eastern screech owls can be found just about everywhere in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains, a line which seems to separate them from their Western Screech Owl cousins. Aside from some small visual differences, eastern and western screeches have distinct calls, and eastern screeches have a wide range of vocalizations... ranging from the telltale screeches to grunts, chirps, and the haunting trills that often accompany spooky movie soundtracks.

 

Often suburbanites--suburban birds will often outlive counterparts that reside in 'the wilds'--screech owls will readily nest in owl houses. This particular red morph nested within this box in Maumee Bay State Park. I have, myself, purchased an owl box that I'll be putting up this fall. After that, I'll be crossing my talons...er, fingers!
