A patched SP AC44 looks rather forlorn as it leads an eastbound around the big curve just west of La Coste, TX. May 2009.

For World Photography Day - I didn't enter that Flickr group, by the way. Why? Because I believe the world doesn't need more pretty photos right now. The world needs clarity.
What a shit show.

This photo features the Crimson-patched Longwing (Heliconius erato), taken at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. Capturing the vivid red patches against the delicate black wings of this butterfly was a thrilling challenge. The setting provided a lush green background, making the butterfly’s colors pop. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/60 second to capture the fluttering movement of the butterfly, combined with an aperture of f/11 and ISO 800 to ensure a deep depth of field and crisp details. The Canon R5, paired with the RF 100-400mm lens and a 1.4x extender, allowed for an effective focal length of 560mm, essential for this close-up.
From a photographer's perspective, this image highlights the delicate balance between technical settings and the subject's natural beauty. The butterfly, in its later stages of life with parts of its wings worn, tells a story of survival and grace. Emerald Valley is a prime location for butterfly photography, thanks to the conservation efforts led by Robert Gallardo. His dedication to preserving these species is evident in the thriving butterfly population at the nature center.

CSX Q410 rolls past ongoing Metro construction in Franconia back in 1994. The former RF&P mainline was firmly under CSX control and patched GP40 6858 is unfortunate photographic evidence of that fact.
It's even worse now considering that in 1999 Conrail also went away. We can never have nice things.
Rock Island 4509 was "patched" as CNW 4160 for the CNW Days at the Illinois Railway Museum and was in charge of the mixed train at Johnson Siding.
RI 4509 was sold to the CNW and renumbered 4160 after the RI shutdown. The engine came to the museum as CNW 4160, brought back to life, and repainted in the blue Rock Island scheme.

The Raritan Valley Line has been dominated by consists of ALP-45DPs and multilevel cars for the past several years. Due to ongoing PTC implementation issues, NJ Transit has adjusted schedules and consists on various lines. One result is this "retro" RVL consist which includes single-level Comet coaches powered by a lone, patched-up GP40PH-2B 4219. This consist would have been common here through the mid-2000s.
The Expedition 70 patch is designed around the central yin-yang symbol representing balance; first and foremost, the balance of our beautiful planet Earth that is encircled by the yin-yang symbol and which forms part of the Expedition number. In our exploration of space, we are reminded of the uniqueness of Earth; the further we push the boundaries of human existence, the stronger our longing for our home planet grows. As our understanding of the cosmos expands, so does our understanding of Earth, and although we live in an ever-changing world, we recognize the need for a planet in balance to ensure our future.
Space exploration is also about creating the future of our dreams. The tentative first steps we take today will hopefully become a well-trodden path in the future. This is represented stylistically by the “retro-futuristic” design of the patch, which mimics the design of the posters depicting the future from the early days of the space age. It is also emphasized by the yellow, orange, and red colors suggesting a sunrise. Lastly, the dynamism in the depiction of the number 7 suggests not only the physical launch into space, but also humanity’s progress towards the future.
Patch #4 for the Craftster embroidery patch swap. I found this super awesome image off of a search engine and now can't find it again! It says "Monsieur Hedgehog Takes His Tea with Cream, No Sugar". I think it's my favorite so far!

Back to my trip again!

Our first morning in Cromwell. We woke to heavy fog which took a while to lift. Driving along the Felton Road to go to our next winery tasting at Felton Road winery.

The Central Otago wine region is the world's southern-most commercial wine growing region. Central Otago's best-known wines are its Pinot noirs, but many white wine varieties are also popular. The Central Otago Wine Region is the formal geographic indication for wines grown in Central Otago.
At around 300 metres (980 ft) elevation, Central Otago's vineyards are protected from New Zealand's characteristic maritime climate by high mountains up to 3,700 metres (12,100 ft) . They thus have the only true continental climate zone in the country, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. Rainfall averages around 375-600mm: summer is hot and relatively dry, and often accompanied by the Nor'wester foehn wind; autumn is short, cool and sunny; and winter is cold, with substantial falls of snow. Heavy frosts are common throughout winter and, indeed, frost can occur at any time between March and November. One of Central Otago's warmest wine growing areas can be found just north of the Lowburn Inlet area.
