Fellow photographer and Battenkill Superfan Ken Karlewicz chats with the boss as plans are made for the day ahead.
A great Halloween doesn't just happen, it takes planning. Meet the planning committee.
Vera Florentine Neo and Nellie Nibbles Middie. The Jiji cat figurines are from the movie "Kiki's Delivery Service".
My plan was to photograph a hospital for the letter "H" but I got this shot of a helicopter taking off for a patient transport. 365/39
I took the original photo of the Amish Buggy in the snowstorm. I might upload it one day. Just fooling around with textures for now.
Fortunately, while making a pit stop in the beach house and contemplating the next move, there are options.
As usual, I tried a few different subjects for the Macro Mondays group theme, Anachronism, and this was my Plan B. It's a brass box for holding shirt studs, which I don't think many people use these days, and dates from around the 1920s. I found this one at the Lewes Antiques Flea Market recently.
I finally ordered a Byul Hermine, and she came last week! I love her outfit so much, and her brown and seafoamy color palette. But I didn't like her default wig so I changed it.
Sunday I had hoped to spend a leisurely day chasing Pan Am Railways' water train. My plan fell apart by late morning when I heard them getting ready to tie the train down east of Rigby. I was heading for home when I heard DJPO (Danville Junction to Portland) call a stop signal at Royal Junction in Yarmouth. As a part of ongoing infrastructure improvements associated with the Amtrak Downeaster service contractors are in the process of grading roughly 4 miles of second track to be reinstalled from Royal west into Falmouth. The construction has helped open up some shots that haven't been possible for many years. With a pair of buffer cars and a load of anhydrous ammonia from the Saint Lawrence & Atlantic interchange the local is approaching Cumberland Center. Many years ago this location was known as Cumberland Junction, the original junction of the Maine Central Railroad "Back Road" and the "Lower Road". A 6 mile plus realignment of the Back Road resulted in Royal Junction, where the lines currently connect. This was one of a couple realignments in the immediate area, the other one being in New Gloucester.

Juste avant de remonter dans le téléphérique pour redescendre à Chamonix j’ai aperçu ces deux alpinistes qui terminaient leur course.
I bought a porcelain figurine on eBay from France. To my pleasant surprise, the parcel arrived quite quickly and very well-packed. The figurine survived the trans-Atlantic journey all intact.
It's not the first time that I've received a parcel from France or Italy fully covered in stamps. I think I'd keep the box just for the stamps. Too bad that someone decided to cancel the stamps with a marker instead of proper postal cancellations.
The backside of a Cross Orbweaver on the Japanese Maple. I think she was trying to pull an escape plan out of her butt to avoid further harassment from the annoying photographer. HBBBT
My Dad is an engineer, really good at planning. The first three kids were born with perfect spacing--precisely 2 years, 8 months and 4 days apart. Then an unexpected reaction to a prescription boosted Mom's fertility, and an unplanned fourth kid came along--"little Robin", ten years younger than myself.
While in the womb, we jokingly referred to her as "Roscoe" (a character on "77 Sunset Strip"). She may have been the result of a busted plan, but she was everyone's favorite family member.
Now--Mom's a little under the weather, and Robin's presence seems like the master gambit in an inspired strategy: why not have an Emergency Room nurse daughter live around the corner in your Golden Years?
Better yet, add the Physician Assistant daughter just down the road. And the icing on the cake?--keep the journalism siblings about a 100 miles north up the freeway.
It's a wonderful irony when the unplanned youngster child is the glue that holds the family together. When I phone and talk to the folks these days, I always end up asking, "well, has Robin dropped by yet today?"
"Oh yes," Mom replies, "what would we do without her?" Indeed. Sometimes the best laid plans go awry, to the benefit of all. Deal!
We really dodged a bullet with our recent winter storm. They had predicted an ice storm with up to a half an inch of ice. But we ended up getting mostly sleet and a couple of inches of snow. The last time we had ice at a half inch, our power was out for almost four days....and we spent the first three in our bitterly cold house, desperately wishing we had a backup option. Every space heater in the area had been snapped up by the time we could get to the store, but on day four we managed to find this kerosene heater. And wouldn't you know, about four hours after we set it up and finally got warm....the power came back on.
At any rate, we didn't take any chances this time, and had our heater set up and ready for action before the event. I'm pleased to say we didn't need it, but as there is another storm on the horizon for the end of the week....this thing is staying right where it is for now. 😊
Op 7 oktober 2023 werd de jaarlijkse Vriendenrit van de Vereniging Vrienden van het Spoorwegmuseum verreden.
Met Plan U 151 van Stichting 2454Crew maakten we een rondrit door het westen van Nederland waarbij onder andere het Westelijk haven gebied en de houtrakpolder in Amsterdam een prachtig onderdeel waren.
Geweldig dit te mogen organiseren. Dank aan alle kanjers van Stichting 2454Crew voor de medewerking.
Excerpt from a journal found in the outskirts of Osaka, Japan 3 months after the main event:
Chaos, chaos is the best word to describe this. The whole world's a mess. Water, sewage, weapons, explosives; it's a mess. I'm not even sure anyone knows what is happening anymore. The government has seemingly disappeared into the air. No one is claiming responsibility for what happened...the flood. But I know the truth. My family is gone, and I'm about to be found. This is it. Our escape plan is simple: fight our way out.
This is The Flood! The storyline that John and I are starting. Expect more soon. :)
Jesus in my place!
