Great Blue Heron in a watery environment.
From the same 2021 folder as the last photo - Another New Year's Eve photo!
My recollection is that these are a local subspecies in this area. I'll look it up and get back to you. This one looks like an exotic sea-creature -- and I love the wine-colored flower just opening. The whole "puff-ball_ is maybe 1.5 in (4 cm) in diameter. Lots of these out on our morning walk in the Spring WINDS. I trusted the forecaster and was underdressed!
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
William Wordsworth. Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood

When traveling around in I-90 corridor it is always fun to look up at the surrounding hills and mountains and pick out places to which we have been. From this vantage point, I could see the location where I stood to shoot the images for a panorama of the Snoqualmie Pass area. The spot is the small area of snow in the middle of the image where the ridge starts to decline.
Here's something different and a lot more meta...and a lot less detail than you're normally seeing here...

Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people,
Laughing!
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.
By Carl Sandburg ( 1878 ~ 1967)
Often older farm couples who have retired from active farming like to stay in their home rather than moving into town. They loved the sense of peace and quietness they enjoyed throughout the years. Rather than wishing for something else, they now have peaceful recollections of a life raising children and tilling the land.

Eight years ago on the weekend of October 10th & 11th my good friend Nikos and I drove through the night to Kentucky in hopes of catching TTI running. It turned into an epic weekend of friends, beer and dash 7's. It would be the only time I ever saw the TTI but its a weekend Ill never forget.
TTI B36-7's thunder through Millersburg, KY with a loaded coal train bound for river transport at Maysville along the Ohio River.
