Mesmo na noite mais triste

em tempo de servidão

há sempre alguém que resiste

há sempre alguém que diz não.

I just love these little critters...thanks to rapt in roses [Chris] for the cute title!

This little boy was being called by his sisters to leave the snowman and come on home. He just couldn't seem to drag himself away. It got "I'm going to tell mum, if you don't come on now" to get him to leave his snowy friend. It just reminded me of Raymond Brigg's The Snowman. However it made me think of this song by Genesis which I love and isn't heard that often - not sure why. See what you think of it

We put Tiger to sleep today. She had a wonderful 17-years of life. Despite her quirks, she was a wonderful member of our family and will be dearly missed.

Without a clue

No one knew

Exactly what today would do

To the lives of good friends two.

My last photograph in India

original

Micro (macro). This little weed flower has folded up for the night to go to sleep. :) Say your prayers, little flower.

 

Please view large...the details are incredible. (This little flower, folded up, is only 3/8" in diameter across its widest part!)

It is done, Father. Your soul will be at peace.... but will mine?

It's the hardest thing to do... to let them go and accept that we have done everything possible to help.

Pennsy Position Light Farewell Tour - Grand Finale

 

After shooting Amtrak's Pennsylvanian as seen in volume 10 of this series here:

I held out hope for one last freight. The reports were that the Lackawanna heritage unit was westbound on an empty oil train so I hung around a few more minutes. What little light was left was fading fast and the non shadowed pockets were down to two little spots. But seven minutes after the passage of Amtrak 43, Norfolk Southern train 65E appeared westbound on Track 2 following the passenger train with #1074 in the lead. With moments to spare I captured him beneath the famed bridge, that I am told is the oldest surviving one on the west slope.

 

This would be the last train I would ever shoot under Pennsy signals on the legendary mainline of the Standard Railroad of the World. But NS sure did serve up a nice finale for me, and I hope you've enjoyed this little tour and my take on the waning days of these icons of American railroading.

 

By the time you read this a curfew should be in place and Norfolk Southern signalmen should be at work dismantling all the PLs seen in my recent posts. I am told that today is the day that they die.
