My favorite game to play with toddlers is peek a boo! I simply ask them to go look around the tree to see what is back there, they almost always circle it, and when I can see them again, I yell "Peek a boo"...I 99% of the time I get a beautiful shot.
Metra 89 sits tucked away next to A-2’s signal maintainer shop. The searchlights, tower, and a distinct mix of buildings make this a personal favorite from my trip to Western Avenue.
I borrowed these peeking posies from Christa and paperpieced them together. I like how you can cut away the paper around the flowers. It is a one-layered card but optical it has multiple layers!
Here's a close-up of the same Price Scanner & Service kiosk seen down the way in the previous photo. I realized I haven't gotten/posted a good, detailed shot of one of these before, so I wanted to be sure to do so this time around. Plus, this one was just begging to be photographed, with that old directory playing peek-a-boo with the camera!! As I mentioned before (feels like long ago now...), these original store maps were just covered over with the more modern-looking ones with the reset that moved and expanded the pantry department to this side (prior to PFresh, and since no remodel was involved, I'm also going to say prior to 2004). One of 'em was so camera-hungry it hitched a ride home with me ;)

Great Spotted Woodpecker ( Dendrocopos major )
--
Mesuring 23–26 centimetres long, with striking black-and-white markings.
Males have a crimson spot on the nape, which is absent in females.
They have a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer.

Not a lot of time at the moment….will post and visit when time allows. I'm at Instagram more than I'm here!
So I had decided to go into the mountains of Connecticut on Friday (1/24/2020) evening for night photography. It was such a beautiful day driving to the location that I had picked out, got there with breath taking views, found the location I wanted to photograph at, staked the claim on my parking spot and than whoosh...deluge!!! Spent the rest of the night trying to stay dry. Needless to say, my trip didn't yield very many "productive" images which I wanted to capture but that's ok.
So after a fairly uncomfortable evening of rest, I began my trip back home driving the back roads, as I normally do, and came across this abandon mini golf course. I know its silly but this decaying dino's just made me laugh.
Enjoy and remember when your seems like all you have is rain, there is always something peeking around the corner to make it better...you just have to be receptive to receive it.
Peek-a-boo! Twin calf update...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sweet boy named Andy, just wasn't getting the attention he needed from his momma. It most likely would have turned out fine if we could have corralled them up and kept them in close quarters for a week, but it's just too muddy out there right now. So we decided to take Andy away from his mom and twin sister, Annie, so he can live a good life. Instead of taking on bottle-fed calves this year (which I still love doing), we've decided to give any calf that needs to be bottle-fed to a neighbor farmer that also has fairy cows with dairy cow milk besides milk replacer. They have kids and they are into 4-H and spoiling animals. We brought him there yesterday and he has 3 other calves to play with and learn from. After seeing how the other ones acted more like dogs than cows wanting affection and rubs, I know he'll be well taken care of.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although not the ideal situation, it's still a happy ending for little Andy. Not all calves are able to be lucky like this, but that's why we constantly check the now 100+ calves that have been born so far. Still a ways to go before calving season is over for us...then it will be hay season! Anyone else about out of hay?

Here's our newest visitor. Pocket gophers (Geomys personatus), are commonly referred to simply as gophers and are burrowing rodents. Pocket gophers get their name from their fur-lined cheek pouches, or pockets. These pockets are used for carrying food. However, the pockets on a gopher open on the outside and turn inside out for emptying and cleaning. They have many special adaptations for their burrowing lifestyle, including clawed front paws for digging, small eyes and ears, and sensitive whiskers and tails. Their lips are unusual too. The lips can be closed behind the large protruding, chisel-like upper front teeth, which allows the pocket gopher to excavate soil without ingesting it. Pocket gopher mounds are built of excavated soil. The gophers usually build one to three mounds per day although this rate may vary. One gopher can bring about 2 1/4 tons of soil to the surface each year. Mound-building activity usually is greatest in spring and fall. Pocket gophers are solitary animals that only come together in the spring and summer to breed. Young pocket gophers are born in nest chambers underground. The mother takes care of the young for several weeks before sending them on their way to construct burrows of their own. Pocket gophers generally live less than three years. Most pocket gopher species are relatively common and not of conservation concern. The desert pocket gopher is the most threatened species because it occupies a very small range and is thus more vulnerable to habitat loss. My wife has affectionately named this one, are you ready for this? Joe Dirt!

Construction, Week 56
Since I was poking around, I decided I might as well go right up to the store and take a peek inside: after all, other people have already been inside training, so why can’t I at least walk on the sidewalk? I took this pic looking in the café window, and with it we can finally say with absolute certainty that this store has the same Marketplace décor package we were expecting (see Meat & Seafood sign, left background). Also, hopefully those are just spotlights above the “beverages” sign, and not security cameras pointing straight at me XD

This will more then likely be my last sunrise image posted for a bit, I got a tun of them, but I really do not want them flooding my photo stream, I look forward to getting to the beach soon! So that I can post those! Any way, over the past few sun rises, I have noticed something, that when the sun does finally peek over the mountains, it gets bright, QUICK! And those first few images are unusable because it makes the foreground blacked out! Except yesterday morning, the fog was dense enough to mute the power of the sun. So, I was able to get a more perfect image on the sun its self. Any way, perfect is such a relative and subjective word. So, perhaps perfect would not be the right word, but hey, I happened to like this any way. This image is a great display on what I meant by areas of dense fog where it became at times unuseable. But I managed to make this one work, all the images around it were not work able. Perhaps the high ISO had a help in this and the "snake" in my back yard the day before because useful after all? Who knows, All I know is that I need many more sunrises to prefect the talent that so many of my flickr friends already have! And that is why I bother with the 365, by years end, I want to be able to know my camera in and out so that guessing is no longer the name of the game! :)
Please, do enjoy!
For this image, I believe the only filter I used was the Cokin soft grad, for the sake of the sun.
