Repeating a scene that has been a daily occurrence for over a half-century, a set of former DL&W MU cars has cleared the Bergen tunnels, and will begin negotiating its path to the correct track at Hoboken terminal for the last time. After the cars were retired, many of them found homes on excursion trains. The lead car here, Erie Lackawanna 3207, is a trailer that still exists on the Boone & Scenic Valley.
This image, done for Crazy Tuesdays “Repeating Objects” theme, will likely be of interest primarily to fans of American Major League Baseball. The image is a composite adapted from a display seen at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, in Cooperstown, New York.
The image shows Ted Williams, who played for the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960 and is commonly acknowledged to be one of the greatest hitters of all time. The photo on the left shows Williams in his batting stance, with the baseball strike zone portrayed as a vertical box over home plate.
On the right side of the image is a close-up of the strike zone, with 77 baseballs that have been assigned a batting average by Williams. Each ball indicates what Williams believed his own average would be, if pitches were delivered in these areas of his strike zone.
In baseball, a batting average equals the percentage of times that a player hits successfully to get on base, reported in three figures with a decimal point, i.e., a player with a batting average of .250 would get a hit 25 percent of the time. Only 20 players have ever hit .400 or better over the course of an entire Major League season, and Williams was the last to do so, hitting .406 in 1941. He had a lifetime career batting average of .344. He died in 2002.
For those who are still reading at this point, if you take a look at the numbers, you can see that the best chance for an opposing pitcher was to pitch Williams low and to the outside of the strike zone, to minimize the chance of him getting a hit.
Sorry for the length here, but I felt as though I should explain it for those who know nothing about American baseball. :-)

Just something that caught my eye this morning on my walk. I’m not even sure if this would be considered a repeating pattern, but that was the title that was stuck in my head for this image. :) Getting out early in the morning with my camera is turning out to be a highlight for me. Even if I don't get any photos, I love the quiet and the light. You’ve probably noticed that I also love to find beauty in ordinary things. It’s out there! You just have to open your eyes (and heart) to it. <3
**Hello to my new followers, and thank you to everyone for your amazing and continued support! I would like to get to a 1000 followers on Flickr before I die, and it looks like I might get there in the not-too-distant future. Lol Seriously though, I truly am very grateful for all of you! x

Striking workers on picket line outside the Winchester Repeating Arms factory in New Haven, Connecticut. This vintage photo was shot with my Polaroid Land Camera J66 in 1969 and scanned for upload.
I've said this before in earlier posts, but catching a shorebird mid-scratch is a joy of mine - lol. I find them to somehow be so comical, and it adds a bit more life (and perhaps realness) to the image. Here, there are seven lovely sanderlings all in formation with the same feeding pose, and one poor fella caught in the act ;-)
Hope you have a great Hump Day!
Bracken fern repeating patterns. I just liked the patterns and differing greens here
Emerald Lake Park
One of these is not like the rest. The first MAC is orange while the next 4 or in the executive scheme. All elephant style on the Twin Peaks subdivision as I recall between Trinidad, CO and Beshoar, CO 9.03
This is an Autumn Fern which we have in a pot in our garden, it was while I was having a coffee that I had a long look at it and realized just how amazing these leaves are, the patterns are amazing and so are the colours which range from greens to beautiful rusty reds, it just goes to show that even while having a coffee and looking at a plant in your garden you can find a photograph.
All of nature reveal beautiful patterns. Love dahlias as everything radiates from the center and reaches to the sun. I love its underbelly and seeing the overlapping repetition.
Many repeating reflections, deferent
And changing views. Look from above
Below, the side or from inside.
Where ever I look from I see
Something else – even if my focus
Is on the same object.
And who ever stands beside me, what do
they see? Is it what I see
Or something totally deferent?
Or maybe its only me
Looking from within
The reflection?
Another Sunday, another subway station and the same idea ;)
