This is a sequential series of four shot (of many) that I took one afternoon on an outback road in central Australia. I passed a lone Wedge-tailed Eagle feasting on a kangaroo carcass at the side of the road. Knowing that these are notoriously difficult birds to photograph, I stopped some distance from the bird. with camera in hand, I walked back towards the Eagle, but it immediately flew away.
Thinking I'd missed my photo op, I walked towards the kangaroo carcass. Then to my surprise, the Wedge-tailed Eagle flew back to its kangaroo. Perhaps it feared I would be competition for its meal. I got this less than sharp shot as it flew back down to the carcass. Continued, next photo...

The Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) is a medium-sized raptor specialized almost exclusively in hunting apple snails in freshwater wetlands. This strong dependence on a single type of prey closely ties it to healthy marsh environments, where it finds both food and the vegetation it uses as support during its foraging movements.
In the image, a single individual appears in three successive flight positions, the result of a stacked sequence that shows how it progresses with controlled, relatively short movements, alternating gentle rises and drops while keeping its gaze fixed downward. This pattern allows it to carefully scan the water surface and emergent vegetation in search of snails.
The individual shows the typical adult male coloration, with dark gray-brown tones and reddish-orange legs and cere. In flight, the white base of the tail contrasts clearly with the rest of the body and is an important field mark for identifying the species. Its broad, rounded wings sustain slow, steady movement appropriate for this precise search behavior. The slender, strongly hooked bill—visible in the image—is a specialized adaptation that allows the kite to extract the snail’s flesh from its shell, demonstrating the high degree of ecological specialization of this raptor.
This low, buoyant, and attentive flight style summarizes the Snail Kite’s strategy as it patrols the wetlands where it feeds.

Union Pacific SD40-2Rs No. 3214 and 3215 pull the LUJ51 local, the Ogden to Echo turn, through Round Valley east of Morgan, Utah the afternoon of October. 3, 2014. Both were built by EMD in April 1973.
UP 3212, 3213, 3214, and 3215 were assigned to local service between Ogden and Evanston for many years. The two locals would meet at Echo, exchange trains, and return to their home yards.

I spent two sequential weekends in Eastern Washington during the autumn of 2025. My goals were shooting the end of the 567 powered era on the Columbia Basin Railway, as well as some BNSF action of Providence Hill; my first return since the Burlington Northern era. My initial trip was mostly a bust, with BNSF having a 30 hour maintenance window in Spokane for a the installation of a grade separation, and a family medical emergency back home cutting the trip short before the CBRW's Monday run to Connell.
I returned too late for the 567's, but in time to shoot the second run of the new power on the CBRW, and actually see a few trains on Providence Hill. The inevitable caveat was that there were still several wildfires burning in the region, so most daytime lighting was filtered through a smoky haze. On the plus side though, the haze made for some colourful sunrises and sunsets.
Above, the first of several eastbound trains out of Pasco that evening slowly grinds up the 1% grade on Providence Hill's west slope. The crew only has to endure two more miles of the thunder from the 16 cylinder FDL prime mover of their lead unit before coasting down the shorter east slope of the hill into Lind. At the left side of the image are the grain elevators in Beatrice, WA, adjacent to the mainline, but no longer rail served.

There are painters who must,
having found the place, must,
repaint it, compelled to repeat it,
each a variant, yet always the same,
always different
I awake to a perspective that is wide,
always differentiated from the prior,
always almost similar, but never with
the same exactitude, differing attitude,
same longitude, identical latitude,
always different
horizon distanced, in all ways a view
encompassing, duality near, far distant,
harmoniously, eyes open, magnetized
to wake before 6am by the suns modesty,
first light, first clarity, a curtain risen, yet,
always different
am I so blessed or thus cursed, for the urge
to disclaim and ode, compose and thus self-
decompose, analyze, reflect, slice apart, needing
the comprehensive understanding this me/place
scripts the raw appreciation, daily differentiated
always the same
this peaceful venue seizures, chest calmly
pounding at the insistence it commands,
the price I must pay for the prize to praise,
to sing, weep, reward restful sleep with lyrics
eked out, pouring, unsustainable yet finished,
always different
a single May Iris, returns, born from a torrential,
thunder, lightning, sky mayhem, rises by a sundial
greets midst a planted clump, upright rises, lavender,
in a majestic solitary, absent but a day prior, yet mine eyes
failed to witness its discernible emerging birthing creation,
always different,
always the same
here, I am Iris too, always the same, a day aged,
but the differences minute but stolid actualized,
this overnight sensation, my body’s restoration,
what I visualize, indivisible, now visible, realized,
miracle of continuity, unchanging chained change,
always different ,
always the same
wonder, am I more blessed, or a s~lightly cursed being,
my breath restored, wet eyes full brimming, changed,
revived but always modified, a newer old man, whose
sum total always a different number, but in sequential,
compelled to confess, no understanding of this miracle,
always the same,
always different,
this daily visionary miracle
