Back in November we visited Queenstown. Just a phone snap but shows the beauty of this stunning range quite well. A very happy golden hour indeed!
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
by John McCrae, May 1915
(( Thank you for the pose @SassySweetPoses! ))
Do you remember when we fell in love
We were young and innocent then
Do you remember how it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember back in the fall
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember us holding hands
In each other's eyes we'd stare
Do you remember how we used to talk
You know we'd stay on the phone at night 'til dawn
Do you remember all the things we said
Like I love you so I'll never let you go
"When I pontificate, it sounds so, you know, Oh, well, she's preaching. I'm not preaching, but I think maybe I learned it from my animal friends. Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do." - Betty White
In honor of what would be Betty's 100th birthday and her love of animals I am donating to two of my favorite animal rescue organizations: Motley Zoo & PAWS . I encourage everyone who enjoyed this amazing entertainer to do the same in their area!

You might remember the little Barn Owl I posted at the end of February. Here he is again, same day, same tree cavity, just getting a little bored. Feel free to view large - has some pretty nice detail even at ISO 3200, full 62 mp frame, uncropped.
Today being the Day of the dead, I am remembering the woman who gave me this camassia. Her name was Maria..she had lived a hard life but was the sweetest and most generous lady I have met here...this was her gift to me for my garden...sadly she died the following year, but when I see this bloom, I fondly remember her heart and kindness.

It was a nice touch to see Eilean Donan lit for Remembrance Day, especially from this vantage point which was a first for me.
You found the light in me that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
If you are at the Thanksgiving dinner table today, don't bring up politics or religion. You might end up having to leave the table quickly, with your food in your mouth, LOL.
I hope all of you here in the USA have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, I am going to a close neighbor's house for a ham dinner and I am taking a homemade lemon meringue pie. They only live a very short distance from me which is great because my dogs are all getting so elderly I don't like leaving them for any long periods now.
Anyway, have a wonderful day everyone!

Going back 12 years ago, CP tested these RailMate trailers from Superior to the Twin Cities. On this first test run of April 23, 2008, they called a special train to bring the bogies from Superior to Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, these RoadRailer like trailers were loaded with aggregate off the Iron Range, destined for the western suburbs of Minneapolis. I believe this was the only special RailMate train CP ran and subsequent runs of these things were on the regular 482. The RailMates didn't last long and ended up stored along the TC&W at Hopkins for much longer than they ran.
Here is CP 8802 West on the test train, just west of Saunders, WI on April 23, 2008, running as CP 482. I took this shot from the former Soo grade that all Soo Line trains used to take out of Superior. Just ahead this test train will diverge onto BNSF's Hinckley Sub. and run as a southbound to the Twin Cities.
