As I was out scouting for winter conditions yesterday I got a little lucky with the weather. The mist blowing through was epic as was Brentor Church just poking its head through. A quick check I was outside of Dartmoor national Park (You cant fly a drone on Dartmoor, or more technically launch a drone on Dartmoor), which I just was, I put up the drone to see what I could capture.

 

Back in 2010 an Iowa Northern loaded ethanol train out of Hawkeye Renewable Energy at Butler, IA, heads north towards the DM&E at Nora Springs, IA. Here the train pokes along at 10 mph a couple miles north of Greene. The Iowa Northern gets the DM&E power at Nora Springs and runs it down to the Butler Yard, near Shell Rock, IA. The Iowa Northern then assembled the trains for DM&E and then delivers it back to them at Nora Springs for points east.

 

As 2018 moves along Soo Line power is becoming less and less common on the CP roster. Soo 6037 became the CP 6301 in June 2017.

Looking over a sea of cloud to Rushup Edge just poking above it. The moon is just about visible.

Poke Berry is a native plant in Pennsylvania and have been plentiful this year. It is beneficial to wildlife. Not a garden plant, they grow in our meadows to a height of 6 feet or more.

The crazy background is one of my textures.

This morning's low fog event was epic! I mean, the fog pretty much consumed the city, leaving just the tops of the bridge and TransAmerica in poking through.

 

Definitely one of the best low fog events I've seen from the East Bay in a long time.

 

As always, love to be in the company of talented photographers like David and Gordon. Check out their work!

Poke the octo get the ink....my twin sister was on the wrong end of the exchange.

I've always wanted a photo of crocuses poking up through the snow. Be careful what you wish for. ;)

Trees on the ridges in the La Crosse Blufflands poke through the fog at sunrise. Photographed in the La Crosse Blufflands, a Mississippi Valley Conservancy protected land parcel.

A mangrove rail (aka clapper rail) pokes its head right out into the open to see what all the commotion is about (it was me birdwatching).

According to Wikipedia 'Poke' is a raw sallad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine. Pokē is the Hawaiian verb for "section" or "to slice or cut". Ahi poke is made with yellowfin tuna.

House Wren looking for insects on a pokeberry bush. I saw the first warbler migrants yesterday. Hopefully the cooler weather this week pushes some more down.

   

I have done similar shots but this time I wanted to have the sun in the frame.

Turns out there's a nature reserve on my way to Costco that I had never stopped at before. Here are a few photos I took there with my iPhone.

hehe...;-D

Related to my previous posting ~~~ Things may look more interesting when you look at them more closely ~~~

PS...no camera was armed to produce this image ;-D

A lovely little succulent poking though a picket fence, basking in the afternoon light.

The last shot of the weekend, the final Gala train at PokeHill 419 leads 828. By this time the light had really started to go. Terrific weekend!

Deadman's fingers - poking up through the forest detritus. Polydactyl anyone??

"Significant toxicity" per wikipedia and has caused death in humans and animals.

 

With careful preparation, the plant can be eaten. "Poke Salad Annie" is a song made famous by Elvis.

Blue skies finally poked through the clouds today. This is a picture I've wanted for a while but resisted taking so I could get a blue sky. This is the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University.

 

This picture was partially inspired by a similar photo by kawwsu29.

75 years ago, the United States of America was plunged into WWII after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. WWII was going on at the time and the Axis powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan were in their prime as they had seemed invincible to the eyes of the world. Before Pearl harbor Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, forcing the Soviet Union to fight back. Japan was already waging a genocidal campaign of terror in Asia and was poised to have control of the Pacific.

 

December 7th, 1941. The Japanese Empire launched their attack on the American naval base of Pearl Harbor, killing 2,403 Americans and destroying several ships and aircraft, including the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma. It was a surprise military attack with the goal of crippling Americas Navy and to keep America out of the war.

 

Over the next 7 hours the Japanese attacked the U.S. over seas territories of Guam, Wake Island (seen here) and the Philippines. They also attacked the British territories of Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

 

The next morning on December 8th President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his "Infamy" speech and the American public was outraged. The US declared war with an immediate passing by congress. There was an 82-0 vote in the senate and a 388-1 vote in the House. The American war machine was in full swing.

 

The Japanese empire may have had a victory bombing the shit out of pearl harbor, but the US soon bombed the shit out of Japan harder.
