"I might do a picture with the prompt "serendipity" and see what happens."
I had to try it.

Seeing that July 6 was going to be a rare blue sky day in Minnesota, I intended to go to southern Minnesota to do some shooting. I actually drove south from my home past downtown St. Paul, but seeing virtually no activity on ATCS in the southern part of the state, I turned around and drove north. Had a nice chase of a UP northbound on the Hinckley Sub, stopped in at Carr’s Hobby in Duluth, had lunch with a friend, and stopped in at the gift shop at the railroad museum. I had no idea that CN was running some of it’s new power north that afternoon until I saw a message from DCS that a pair were heading north after being delayed in Gary. In a case of total luck, I ended up following the train with the two new GEs from Saginaw all the way to Cook on the DW&P. Here the spotless pair grind north at Iron Junction with M343.
Something about an ex Southern geep with the long hood forward just seems right. With less than a dozen cars, this local has no problem making track speed as it smashes through a control point guarded by some old Wabash hardware.
Us four Wisconsin boys just happened to stumble upon this little geep in Central Missouri heading west light power. This turned into a nice play later in the morning with the intense chase east producing a handful of solid frames deep in unfamiliar territory.
This is why you carry your camera with you at all times. I was getting the mail and the full moon was setting itself up in the evening sky. Just then, a flock of seagulls made their way across the sky.
I am a happy photographer tonight.

Used LU18 to bring out the detail in the moon.

I never had any idea that Great Blue Herons ate snakes until today!! Yes they do...and yes he did...After playing with his food first.
Thanks Amelia for the title:)
Amina and I went to the FUH-REAZING park in dresses. I was so cold I could feel my teeth and gums hurting.
But it was worth it;) I couldn't decide though, between this one and another one. I'll post it in the comment...
Buscando setas por el pinar encuentro un grupo de egragópilas bajo un árbol.....................un poco de observación discreta, un poco de cautela y una promesa de volver con la cámara de fotos.
Cárabo ( Strix aluco) y su inconfundible mirada con esos misteriosos ojos negros.

Meet Serendipity. She is one of the most beloved figures at the Renaissance Faire. She NEVER breaks character, and children adore her, as she blows her bubbles and brings joy to all who grace her presence. As you all know, I rarely photograph people, but her beauty and playfulness inspires me.

Winter season on Kauai translates to large ocean swells and slightly cooler temperatures. When the first large swell passed through the islands I embarked on my inaugural wave hunting expedition. It's a tricky dance of timing, being patient, and juggling settings on the camera. Every wave that explodes into the air is uniquely defined by its environment.
Words about words... A few thoughts about serendipity on the blog if you have a moment.

I'd set up at daylight to photo bucks and got a couple. As the sun got high, I moved to another location and set up on a big greenbriar patch to photo birds when this buck walked right out in front of me. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
When Erik and I visited the poplar tree farm last spring, I asked him to hold a book for me. He opened to a random page... and later I discovered that, perched at the end of the first full paragraph on the left page, were the words "many fires".
But I suppose stranger things have happened...

The night sky above the Connecticut River in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. Photographed just before our night photography workshop in the beginning of August. This is a blend of two shots taken minutes apart at the same location.

I would like to be able to claim that I purposely took this photo just as the tram was intersected by one of the poles and the seagull was 'punctuating' the mast of the sailboat but it wouldn't be true. They say "luck comes to the prepared" but I'm quite sure that isn't it either. In any case, there was something about the 'geometry' of the scene that appealed to me.

First, THIS DID NOT REALLY HAPPEN--it is a composite of several bursts over 7-8 minutes. Also, I don't know that these were legal. The official fireworks were in Cayucos, a couple miles behind me. I had had a "good idea" for a vantage point of those fireworks, but it didn't work out. So, not wanting to buck crowds at the last minute, I was actually on my way home, before the official fireworks began, when I saw a burst at this site and stopped to get the camera out. Serendipity! The serendipity had actually begun earlier in the day, as the persistent fog over the past days didn't begin to clear till mid-afternoon. And who knew how long the clearing would last.

While this may look like a simple mirror image it is actually two separate photographs.

This little café / general store / restaurant was made famous in the award winning 2001 romantic comedy 'Serendipity', featuring Kate Beckinsale & John Cusak. The word 'serendipity' bears the meaning of 'things that happen for a reason', sometimes also called 'Fate'. This movie depicts quite well this concept (something I believe in also) with a good serving of comedy.
So, while on one of my trips to NYC, I made a stop on E-60th Street to check out the food & atmosphere of this quaint shop. Their dishes were delightfull & 'Frozen Hot Chocolate' was well worth the wait.
