SOO 408 truly made a pest of itself in the Upper Peninsula as it just kept showing up time after time during the last couple years of SOO operations here. In the view you can never see enough high hood geeps I'll share yet another shot of it this time leading Lake States train 12 westbound near the M-28 crossing at Dafter on April 23, 1987. At the time I was pretty disappointed that the rare Lake States nose lettered SD39 was trailing but now it doesn't look so bad.

Mesmo em quarentena, chegou o final de semana. Que tal um agradinho com uma comidinha do tipo #comfortfood? Abaixo uma receitinha fácil e rápida de um delicioso Parppadelli ao Pesto. 🍝😋❤️
Ingredientes:
1 dente de alho
1/4 xícara castanhas de caju, do Pará ou nozes
1/4 xícara queijo parmesão
1 xícara de folhas de manjericão
1/4 xícara de azeite de oliva
Sal a gosto
Pique grosseiramente em pequenos pedaços as castanhas de caju, leve-as ao fogo alto em uma frigideira para dar uma leve tostada e liberar todo aroma e sabor, retire do fogo e reserve.
Em um processador de alimentos coloque todos os outros ingredientes, transformando quase em uma pasta ou pique em pedaços bem pequenos os ingredientes e os misture bem. Acrescente as castanhas tostadas e temos o pesto de manjericão, mas pode ser feito de várias formas de salsinha, agrião, até mesmo ramas da cenoura por exemplo.
Bem armazenado (fechado) na geladeira dura até uma semana, sirva com o macarrão de sua preferência ou em brusquetas e bolachinhas salgadas.
I haven't had much time/energy to shoot lately, and it shows. There are ants all over my camera shelf!
Budapest, Hongrie
Point de vue sur le pont des chaines et sur la Basilique St Etienne.
Ce point de vue sur le pont qui enjambe le Danube entre le côté Buda et le côté Pest de la capitale Hongroise, est connu d'un bon nombre de photographes. Je ne pouvais pas en m'arrêtant une journée à BUDAPEST ne pas revenir avec une photo de ce qui est souvent considéré comme l'emblème de la ville. C'est certainement l'endroit ou j'ai séjourné pour faire de la photographie où j'ai eu le plus froid...
Tradescantia pallida (purpurina, amor de hombre, pollo morado, niña en barco, carne de perro, ensalada de alcachofas) es una especie de planta herbácea y perenne endémica del este de México, de Tamaulipas a Yucatán.
Hojas elongadas, puntudas, de 7-15 cm de largo, pequeñas flores de 3 pétalos blancas, rosas o púrpuras, estambres amarillos. Las hojas son frecuentemente con una tonalidad púrpura, o (en muchos cultivares) Prospera a plena luz o media sombra en áreas subtropicales, crece 20 a 40 cm de altura.
Es también una planta ornamental en jardines, bordes, cobertura de suelo, o (particularmente en lugares fríos) como planta de interior. Se propaga fácilmente por corte; los tallos son visiblemente segmentados y las raíces frecuentemente crecen en las grietas. Es de rápido crecimiento, resistente a enfermedades y tolera sombra.
Como no es tóxica generalmente se considera segura para consumo humano y también como forraje, en alimentación de vacunos y cerdos. Aun así, hay que tener en cuenta que la planta es rica en rafidios, cristales de oxalato y calcio, que dañan las paredes intestinales y puede provocar problemas de piedras en los riñones. Muy desaconsejable usar esta planta para alimentar cobayas.

Tradescantia pallida is a species of spiderwort native to the Gulf Coast region of eastern Mexico. It is a perennial herbaceous species with a trailing habit. The cultivar T. pallida 'Purpurea', commonly called purple heart or purple queen, is widely grown as a houseplant, outdoor container plant, or a garden groundcover. The species has been proven useful in indicating and removing air and soil pollutants and has also been used in food technology.
T. pallida is perennial and herbaceous. It has a rambling habit, with plants reaching about a 1 ft (30 cm) in height but spreading considerably wider: the stems may trail to 18 in (46 cm) or more. Wild specimens are gray-green-purplish with a washed out look.
The fleshy, hairy leaves are up to 7 in (180 mm) long, narrow-oblong, and v-shaped. and form a sheath around fleshy stems, which break off easily. On the ends of the stems the plants produce relatively inconspicuous flowers. The flowers are three-petaled as is typical for the Tradescantia genus. The flowering is most abundant from midsummer through fall and sporadic at other times of the year. The flowers are open only in the morning. The plants are evergreen, but in colder areas die back to the ground in winter and resprout from the roots in spring.
T. pallida is found along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Its native range extends from Tamaulipas to Yucatan. The species has been collected in a tropical deciduous forest, among roadside limestone rocks, and on limestone outcrops.
T. pallida is grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive foliage. Only the cultivar 'Purpurea', featuring purple-violet leaves and stems, is commercially grown. 'Purpurea' is sometimes sold under the name 'Purple Heart', and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
T. pallida is a popular groundcover plant in tropical and semi-tropical areas. In temperate climates it has traditionally been used as a houseplant but is increasingly being planted outdoors in containers or as a groundcover. It is also suitable for hanging baskets, border fronts, and rock gardens. The plant is hardy down to USDA zone 7. It may be grown in the shade but the most intense purple color is achieved in full sun. The plant is remarkable for easily tolerating both drought and frequent watering. It is generally not affected by pests or diseases; however, slugs and caterpillars may attack young shoots of outdoor specimens, while houseplants should be monitored for aphids and scale.
T. pallida has been proven useful for phytoremediation, biomonitoring, and genotoxicity assessment of environmental pollutants, especially heavy metals and metalloids from coal power plants. As a houseplant, T. pallida has been judged exceptionally effective at improving indoor air quality by filtering out volatile organic compounds, a class of common pollutants and respiratory irritants.
Because the plant contains anthocyanins, T. pallida leaves have been used as food colorants[ and food preservatives.

This young PBGR worked very hard at catching and finally swallowing this crayfish. At least 7 or 8 times I watched it catch the crayfish and then watched it escape. Each time the grebe would dive down and bring it back up. As the two struggled, the grebe ripped off a leg, then one of the claws, then the other claw. Finally, with the claws gone, it swallowed the whole thing and swam off.
Red Swamp Crayfish were introduced to California in the early 1900s from Louisiana. They are considered an agricultural pest and are damaging to native wildlife.

This is one of the most beautiful bridges I've ever seen. The Széchenyi Chain Bridge. This bridge is a major part of why Budapest is such a fascinating city. In 1878 it connected Buda to Pest and it has played a huge significance in the cities life and economics. At the time of its construction, it counted as a wonder of the world.
This photograph was captured looking out towards the right bank of the Danube which is of course Pest. At the end of the magnificent bridge sits New York Palace. The building is a luxury hotel built in 1894. I haven't posted a bridge photo in awhile and I have lots. The last one I posted was nearly 7 months ago which you can see here.
I hope enjoy the view from Buda to Pest. Please...relax,
sit by the water and watch the city go to sleep in LARGE
All your comments, critiques and faves are always appreciated, thank you!
