Washington Royal Lines (WRL) is owned by the Port of Royal Slope just southeast of Royal City, Washington, and operates a former Milwaukee Road branch line from the port at Royal City to Royal City Junction and also owns and operates the Milwaukee Road main line from this junction to Othello where they interchange cars with the Columbia Basin Railroad. The railroad operates sporadicly, as needed, with motive power currently being a pair of former Montana Rail Link EMD SD45s. Columbia-Walla Walla Railroad (CWW) No. 330 shows off its red nose paint and engineer-side black patch at the E Road SW grade crossing at Royal City, Washington, on the morning of September 28, 2021. WRL is leasing this unit, or has perhaps has purchased it.

The Cabbage Patch
An image from Saturday at my fave tree:) I had to put the waders on for a bit of protection while I made my way around the field to get close to the tree and gently making my way between the cabbages.
I took a few images before the sun broke the horizon but I wanted to wait until I had a bit of light thrown over the cabbages. Lots of mist flowing through the valley below, but it wasn't until the sun broke the horizon that the heat on the cabbages produced a light layer of mist in the field creating a nice bit of atmosphere.

I love firearms, and I like to shoot, although I don't get to very often. I'm not a hunter, nor am I some kind of militia fanatic. I just like guns, whether I shoot them or not; and I usually carry when I'm in the mountains. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to own very many. I do however, collect firearm related patches and stickers. They are much more affordable.
It's August 11th 1993, and SD40-2s #8040 and #8400 bring a westbound over the summit of the Alleghenies at Sand Patch. While bemoaned by many, I don't think too many would complain today over a yellow-nose'd stealth SD40-2 leading a train to shoot. It's worth noting 8400 back there is former WM SD40 #7449.

This was kind of a sad collection of pumpkins ready for picking at the Cornbelly's Pumpkin Patch in Spanish Fork.

Patches, Lilly Pad, and Whitey are available for adoption, hopefully all together, at The Cat Connection in Brighton, Massachusetts. They're one-year-old sisters, and are all sweet and playful.
My Vet occasionally takes in dogs, either found stray or owner-surrendered. I try to take pictures of the animals up for adoptions, as it is proven that better pictures go a long way towards swift adoption.
As of the posting of this (January 30, 2016), Patches and Rascal here are up for adoption as a pair. Contact Kingston Road Animal Hospital in East York, Toronto.
Very deceptive terrain. what looks like solid ground is actually very soft mud. Every year fire and rescue is called out to the mudflats around Anchorage to rescue stuck people. The danger is not the mud. The danger is that the mud holds you until the fast moving tide comes back in and drowns you.
The storm clouds push out over the Atlantic making way for a Glorious Sunrise the next morning. Thanks for the Look and have a great day.

Cisticolas are among the most challenging of birds to identify. There are around fifty species that are all small and streaky. The name Cisticola means Cistus-dwelling, referring to the shrubby habitat of many species. Nearly all are found in Africa, with one species on Madagascar (Madagascar Cisticola) and another (Golden-headed Cisticola) in Asia and Australasia. We even have one species in Europe that we used to call Fan-tailed Warbler (Cisticola juncidis) but now call it Zitting Cisticola, and that has occasionally strayed to Britain. DNA studies have revealed that they are not closely related to the Old World Warblers, but are close to White-eyes (Zosterops spp).
So onto Pectoral Patch Cisticola (Cisticola brunnescens) which is patchily distributed on mountains in two well separated areas; West Central Africa and West Central Africa. There aren't many correctly identified photographs on Flickr (some are even the wrong family eg larks). Breeding males have a rufous crown with little streaking but non-breeding males, females and immatures have black-streaked crowns like this. Sometimes they show some darker colouration on the sides of the breast, hence the name Pectoral Patch Cisticola. They feed mainly on the ground in upland (1650-3000m asl) grasslands and moorlands in Ethiopia where I photographed this one. I know it has a cluttered background but it shows the habitat well and there really aren't that many photographs that show the bird as well as this.
I saw my first wild poppy in bloom in April this year. This is my first glimpse of a poppy field - albeit a very small patch

we don't need no stinking patches!

Standing at the top of the shingle bank in front of the power stations, looking for something interesting flying over The Patch, at Dungeness.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
