But still acceptable. This is one of the few instances where the AC4400CW was the right leader. It's been a while since I've seen a patched SP lead and with UP re-painting some of it's older locomotives it probably won't be a common sight for much longer. This trio is on CN's Leithton Subdivision heading for Global 4 in Joliet.

These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
Our Friend took us to Stourhead for a look around the gardens. It had been snowing the morning but cleared in the afternoon. It was bitterly cold. Well worth the visit.
Stourhead is a 1,072-hectare estate at the source of the River Stour in the southwest of the English county of Wiltshire, extending into Somerset.
The lake at Stourhead is artificially created. Following a path around the lake is meant to evoke a journey similar to that of Aeneas's descent in to the underworld. In addition to Greek mythology, the layout is evocative of the "genius of the place", a concept expounded by Alexander Pope. Buildings and monuments are erected in remembrance of family and local history. Henry Hoare was a collector of art; one of his pieces was Claude Lorrain's Aeneas at Delos, which is thought to have inspired the pictorial design of the gardens. Passages telling of Aeneas's journey are quoted in the temples surrounding the lake.

Western Patchnose Snake (Salvadora hexalepis), Superstition Mountains, AZ
From the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum:
Distinguishing Features
This slender, docile snake reaches 1¼ to 3¼ feet (107 cm) in length. Most noticeable is the large, patch-like rostral scale on the end of the nose. A wide yellow or beige stripe with a dark border runs down the center of the back; one dark stripe runs down each side. Occasionally the stripes are broken or obscured by crossbars. The belly is pale, sometimes faintly orange. Males have keeled scales at the base of the tail and above the anal opening.
Range
This snake is found in the southwestern United States, northwestern Mexico, and Baja California. It is also found on Isla Tiburn and Isla San Jos in the Gulf of Mexico.
Habitat
The patchnose snake is found in sandy soils or rocky areas in lowland desert with open creosote bush flats or desertscrub. It is also found in grasslands to the lower slopes of mountains with chaparral, and in pinyon-juniper woodlands as high as 7000 feet (2100 m).
Life History
Active in the daytime year round in warmer climates, this snake is crepuscular in the heat of the summer. In milder climates it may be active from early April to early November. The enlarged rostral scale is useful for burrowing in both loose sandy areas or rocky areas in search of its food: lizards, grasshoppers, small mammals, and reptile eggs. While the western patchnose snake does not constrict its prey, it does throw loops of its body on top of the prey to subdue it. It locates reptile eggs by scent, using its nose to unearth them. Much like the whipsnake, it moves quickly on the ground, and may climb into the lower branches of vegetation. If picked up it will thrash wildly. During the summer, it lays 4 to 10 eggs. Eleven inch long hatchlings emerge in late summer.

Meet Patch, a Matoran rebuilt for better or worse by Karzahni on Voya Nui. He’s an adventurous soul who often bites off more than he can chew.

Went to The Pumpkin Patch in Redlands with my sister Elvia and took the girls with me! It was hot but they seem to have enjoyed themselves! ^_^
This is Patch, the daughter of Lily. She's very shy and skittish and will not do anything without Lily. Patch and Lems get along fine and Patch follows Lems around everywhere. Lems is not kept with either of them though. Really Patch acts like a baby, even though she too is bigger than Lemons. She isn't as big a food lover as Lems is, but she is a much louder squeaker :)
Monaluna quilt made with mostly Urban Patch fabrics as well as some AH Heath, RK gingham and kona cotton. My first time using Quilters Dream wool batting.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.
Normally I’m not a big fan of “patch jobs” or “bandits” and the like, but since this one is now off MRL’s roster, I’m kind of glad I have a photograph of it. Montana Rail Link SD45 no 8941 heads west at Blossburg, Montana. During it’s life, the SD45 worked for Seaboard Coast Line, Clinchfield, Seaboard System, CSX, VMV, IMRL, and finally MRL.
My nine-patch is finally complete! Sewed the binding while on vacation in Wisconsin. I stopped at half-size, 35 blocks. I'm really happy with it, and I love how the white ties everything together! Thanks for the quilt-along, AmandaJean!

A ripe pumpkin patch ready for the Halloween harvest. Click here or on the image to view LARGER and on black. (This is one of 6 images in this series -- see below.)
This is a little family farm surrounded by development. They sell their produce direct to the public. The pumpkins can be chosen and picked right out of the field, which is why the pumpkin vines are quite beaten down. I took this photo a week ago --only two days after they opened the field to the public, and already almost one-half of the pumpkins were gone! (I photographed with a medium telephoto lens to stack up and concentrate what was left.) I saw many pumpkins larger than these being carted away. Next year, I'll try to plan ahead and be there on opening day.

Tin sign and patch on Boone Store and Warehouse, Bodie, Ca. I wonder if that sign is actually a "patch", not just advertising. Many of the buildings can be seen with plentiful recycled tin "patches".

We went to a pumpkin patch today, and these were the three that we chose. Huge pumpkins. We also prize stems, as is apparent.
