One of those fine Wisconsin spring mornings, has Chicago and Northwestern 872 west, leading it's freight towards Adams at the Poplar Grove road bridge near Lebanon, where we see C&NW caboose 11148 about to vanish under the overpass. Today, this line is run by the Union Pacific railroad.

From my Moth trap, if you dont Moth Trap, i can thoroughly recommend it , easy to make a homemade one, cost me 15 pounds, its like Christmas every day!!
A grab shot through the windscreen. Not sure why I want to post this one in spite of its shortcomings. Probably because I really love poplars:)
Would this be a cool jigsaw puzzle?
Absolutely not for me....I would be giving up quickly

This was originally called ‘Pine of the Times,’ on account of my not so intimate knowledge of trees. Reliably informed, by a very good source ( a huge sign saying Poplars outside it,) that these are actually Poplars, not Pines.
I've driven/rode past this plantation hundreds of times and it looked inaccessible from the main road.
Early morning exercise found me nearby and I decided to explore the back lanes around it. I found a suitable place to lock the bike up and crossed a small field to discover the most uneven ground I think I've ever walked on.
Must admit my thoughts did turn to how easy it would be to twist an ankle here so I was extra careful.
I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't think there would be a decent size pond in the middle of it. I took a few photos with the backdrop of the pines (poplars) and they looked great on the back of the camera, but not so great after I'd got them on the computer.
I thought it'd be easy to find a decent composition but other than the obvious one ( this one ), I struggled. The closeness of the trees which I thought would make the shot easy, actually made it way tougher.
I made my way around the pond and noticed a pair of Canada Geese nesting and sitting at the far end of the pond so left them in peace and made a mental note to come back and try again in a few months.
I'm truly amazed at what I'm finding on the doorstep or within a few miles of home.
Autumn is nearly over for us as far as the trees go with gales blowing through today. We lost a tree that crushed our washing line today but fortunately didn't fall towards the house. I did a little trip with my brother-in-law before Easter to find the best golden leaves in Otago, our province. This is pretty much a "real" photo by my standards :)
Thanks for visiting.

Another from my trap. I love these. So fabulously weird. Just a phone shot this time, but phones do so well.
Había acompañado a un familiar, muy pronto, por la mañana. La espera, a la puerta del hospital, con mucho frío, no hacía pensar que descubriera nada especial, salvo la evidencia de que iba a pasar mucho frío. A un par de metros de la puerta principal (“Consultas externas”) al pie de las escaleras de granito que llevan a la entrada, hay un chopo con el tronco cortado a un metro del suelo. En la base, parecía increíble pero había muchas setas, carnosas, de color ocre saturado, docenas de ellas, formando un precioso ramillete. Por instinto, a falta de réflex, saqué varias tomas con el móvil (un Huawei de poca calidad). Muchas posturas, a vueltas con los encuadres y aquí tenéis una de ellas, que traigo solo por la curiosidad y el momento tan extraño, cuando era lo último que hubiera pensado encontrar en un punto tan singular, por donde pasan tantas personas, nada interesadas en este fenómeno de la naturaleza, precisamente.
