26/52 weeks for dogs
Gaia was having fun running around with her friend Kaya and Harry. She does not do it very often in the last weeks and I was happy she did that day. Maybe it is because I do practice with Harry . She sleeps a lot and is not interested in nothing. But she eats and drinks normally, and when she sees her enemies or cats in the street she is acting normally so maybe just in a bad mood....we already had a blood check and everything was good.
No exercise required.
Union Pacific's LOA32 "Anaheim Local" strolls through Santa Ana Street as it crosses the southern part of Downtown Anaheim as the train heads for it's first customer at International Paper (Their spot cars are the Boxcars on the rear) before heading south for Costa Mesa.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When every thing's gone wrong somehow?
Men of steel, these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
It's always a joy to spend time with the wild mustangs of the Eastern Sierra. I had the pleasure of watching them on two occasions last week - eating, playing, acting out - and running through the mud and water in the meadow.
Sitting on a calm sheltered bay which looks over Plymouth Sound, the twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are a pair of 17th Century fishing villages, once renown for their fishing and smuggling activities.
The streets are narrow and twisting, and the diverse geology of the area is reflected in the building materials. A pleasing palette of rust and grey slatestone and rich red sandstone contrasts with the pretty pastel colours of the rendered buildings.
Simple, single storey stone sheds, outhouses and fish cellars recall the importance of the fishing industry which flourished in the 18th century. They were built from red volcanic stone, known as rhyolite, which was probably quarried from the bedrock on the foreshore.
By the start of the twentieth century Cawsand’s sizeable fishing fleet was in serious decline. The once plentiful stocks of pilchards had been reducing since the 1880s, and were completely destroyed by motorized trawlers based in Plymouth. By 1914 there were only 16 boats left in the village. The two communities could no longer rely on the sea to employ a sizeable proportion of its population and many left to look for work elsewhere.
Sometimes it is fun to photograph the more common birds I normally ignore. I also love the colours in the legs of the coot, normally hidden from view. The angle of the waves in this one sort of gives the illusion the bird is running up hill, or my camera was wonky. It is an optical illusion, honest guv'.
The light is the LED night lights (simulated moonlight)
The water is cascading out of the water return back into the aquarium.
Ring-necked Duck hen runs across the water to reach takeoff speed. Escape velocity is 12 feet per second or 8.2 miles per hour.
If it has flat feet like a duck, runs like a duck, and flies like a duck, then it just may be a duck
Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) male
While the Black Kite was cruising around the nest area Bronson was 'running interference' while Belle took on the invader directly.
MN2119 hits the 60 in its' stride out of downtown for Grayslake, ducking under the old "Met EL" bridge. After permissions were granted, a last-second "Running Indian" was applied to the nose to help tie the package with a bow.
A brief interlude from Pennsylvania ALCo country...
An ill-fated trip to see the Bloomer Line at Gibson City, IL resulted instead in a decent chase down Norfolk Southern's Bloomington District through searchlight country.
The D36, led by ex-CR SD40-2 #3329 (once painted in a promotional Maersk Sealand scheme) and ex-NW SD40-2 #6173, runs past the former Wabash signals at Lodge, once the site of an IC-Wabash crossing controlled by Lodge Tower, call letters "DG". A deactivated three-head mast marks the former site of the crossing, and an active three-head mast is located north of the crossing on NS, facing north.
Unfortunately, the south-facing signals lit up just as the head end passed me, meaning I'll need to retake this shot from farther back next time.
