Several Canadian National Railway subsidiaries squeeze their way into this shot in one form or another. The daily Toronto MacMillan Yard to Kirk Yard train M397 kicks it up a few notches upon getting its first clear signal since leaving Battle Creek on the South Bend Subdivision. Leading the way is British Columbia Railway C40-8M 4619, followed by Illinois Central SD70 1033. Last but not least, laying in the foreground is a knocked over sign from a bygone era of railroading.
Several males and females visiting the garden just now. All shots taken through double glazing, from the comfort of my recliner! Lockdown is making me lazy!
Several Whale Watching Boats passed by these sleeping Sea Lions and they didn't move at all.

Several Santa Fe locomotives rest briefly at the railroad’s Corwith Yard southwest of downtown Chicago on August 30, 1986. Left to right is EMD SD45 No. 5401 dressed in “Kodachrome” SPSF merger paint, the 100-story John Hancock Center, a quartet of EMD Geeps led by GP7u No. 2013, and finally, the 108-story Sears Tower looming over EMD GP40X No. 3801.
Several parakeets had settled on this tree, unfortunately the zoom of the SE did not allow for sufficient clarity, but their green bodies can just be made out
We've driven past this burrow several times recently but today is the first time we've seen this crew. Prairie dog pups remain underground for the first six weeks. These youngsters don't look much older than that. An adult was in a burrow on the opposite side of the road barking an alert to them. They obeyed and popped down this hole one by one. So cute! : )
Cramond Island is one of several islands in the Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh. It is an intriguing place, cut off from the mainland twice a day by the tide. In both World Wars, it was part of a network of gun batteries and searchlight stations based around the Firth of Forth to protect the naval base at Rosyth from enemy raids. Most of the buildings you can see today are from the island's time as a Second World War defence base.
In 1941, the Home Guard (a volunteer force set up to help fight the German army if it invaded) mounted a mock attack to test the island's defences. The night before the raid, volunteer Sergeant Exley crept onto the island and spent 24 hours spying on the regular soldiers, noting how they'd organised their lookouts. When his comrades landed, they knew exactly where to go - and their raid was a complete success. It's even said they caught some soldiers asleep at their guns! On the north shore of the island, you can still see the curved tracks that were part of the twin six-pounder gun installation.
The pillars between here and the island were built as part of the wartime defences. They were designed to stop motor torpedo boats sneaking past the defences by sailing between the island and the shore. Look out for slots in the sides of the pillars - they held concrete beams to create a solid wall.
Hidden in the small woodland in the centre of the island are the ruins of a small farmhouse. Part of it was rented out as a holiday cottage and after the farmer died in 1904, one family rented the whole island as a holiday retreat. They loved coming here year after year to play and relax in a little world apart.
If you'd like to explore the island, check the safe crossing times on the notice board to the right before you set off. On your way, keep to the hard concrete strip - the mudflats are very soft. Leave plenty of time to get back, because the tide comes in quickly!
Several families on the steep rock cliffs today: lesson today was finding safe passage.
Here mom let baby kid take the lead and follow closely behind. Baby kid doing so well mum decided baby kid deserved a gentle kiss and head hug. It was a heartfelt moment I was so happy to capture.
The mom had been standing firm on a rock ledge previously while baby kid explored and when baby kid went wrong way she did not follow .. so baby kid turned around. It was a wonderful moment to watch and a study in mountain goat upbringing and behaviour in real time. The fact that 3 families with kids were all participating in the same area told me this was school time.
Several years ago my friend found a purse of money, located the owner and returned the purse. The lady turned up at her house a few days later with a tray of Pelagoniums as a gift. Barb gave me one of them and here it is flowering again.

Since several years acid rain is affecting that in a higher altitudes the forest is getting ill. After this bark beetles are destroying a part of the sick forest.
Several months ago I made a series of photos with a Nautilus shell. I thought I would like to see what I could do with my new camera, so here is another photo of this awesome creature.
Please help me name this photo! I am not happy with the name, and think it deserves something more appropriate.
Later:
The name chosen was "Infinity". Thanks Frazzled Jen! And thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
Several thousand pounds of calcium carbonate, carried in solution from the hot springs that bubble up through thick limestone, are deposited onto the enormous terraces each day. As the terrace complex spreads and grows, surrounding vegetation is overtaken. In this photo dead trees are seen embedded in calcium carbonate,
This part of Bodmin Moor, near Minions, a few miles north of Liskeard, has the remains of three neolithic stone circles known as The Hurlers, as well as several individual standing stones such as the one pictured. They are thought to date from around 1500 BC. Although there have been many theories, no-one knows for certain what their purpose was.
Tin and copper mining took place throughout this area until early in the 20th century, and many of the engine houses and other remains can still be seen. The engine house in the distance housed a 50-inch pumping engine, installed in the 1880s. The mine shaft it served reached 720 feet and was part of the South Phoenix Mine. The engine house is now a visitor centre.
Several moons ago, a grey squirrel (some here call them 'tree rats') discovered our bird feeder and thought it would make a change from eating hazel nuts.
He was incredibly persistent trying every which-way to access the food, so that he was totally oblivious to me and my camera.
After several days of waiting, this youngster finally made a short appearance.
Thanks so much for the visit!
The several weeks long sunset here at South Pole is incredible. It produces some very nice soft light. Just like a dream. The building is the IceCube Lab.
Several years ago I almost lost the shrub to fire blight. I cut it back to almost nothing to save it. It's been performing well every year; but I still have to keep my eye out for fire blight once it's done flowering. The bees transmit the blight from tree to tree as they light on the flowers.
Several bridges cross the Rhine in Cologne. They are (from South to North): the Cologne Rodenkirchen Bridge, South Bridge (railway), Severin Bridge, Deutz Bridge, Hohenzollern Bridge (railway), Zoo Bridge (Zoobrücke) and Cologne Mülheim Bridge. There is no WIkipedia entry for the Severin Bridge.
Several years ago the great field of dandelions gave me the idea to try making dandelion wine. I'm finally following through this spring. He's always a willing helper. Harvesting and processing them turned out to be remarkably easy -- less fiddly, say, than picking strawberries or pealing peaches. I'm more of a big picture planner person while he likes prcoesses, but in this case it delighted both of us.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Several Emperors around the local pond today and I also saw my first brown hawker today unless I was totally mistaken.A broad bodied chaser and I think one black-tailed skimmer too.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Several Advance Rumely Oil Pull tractors.

Several of these colorful beauties were darting around Fort Morgan yesterday...I usually see them there through the Fall and then again in Spring...
I'll never forget when the first male Roseate Skimmer landed near me at the edge of a pond, many years ago...the unexpected color was so shocking that I almost fell in the pond! LOL Thankfully, I regained my grip on reality and got a shot of it!
Back in business! After several unsuccessful attempts to capture these heavy, six-axle vehicles, this Saturday brought the breakthrough. The oldest TransMontana of CER Hungary was the main topic today with a loaded bio-ethyl-alcohol train from Dunaföldvár to Hegyeshalom. It had to step aside, but this gave a chance to compose some snow-covered rooftop into the perspective at its departure.

Several miles outside of Lake City. The road widen a few miles back. Engineer Pass road is very long compared to most 4wheel drive roads in the San Juans.
While waiting for several hours for my subject to come, I was kind of bored and then this pair of Ring-billed Gull flew in right in front of me. To tell you the truth, even though I am very interested in wildlife behaviour, I have never taken the time to observe them in this matter. Known as the McDo Gull in here, we are usually not interested either about them. I was in for a surprise.
While his/her partner was out, the other one did not stop shouting until she came back. I thought it was interesting. See the other series for the conclusion.
Several other photos of this truly grand place can be viewed in the first comment box below. The first one below of the 'Two Canucks' is my most viewed and faved photo on Flickr ... go figure?

Several banks in this part of Montana closed following the stock market crash in 1929, yet they still stand.
Saw several of these little fellas around Westhay, but this was the only one not to have its face buried in an umbellifer.

Several corners of the garden are awash with Campanula, obviously very popular with bees and other insects. Campanula is quite hard to control, unfortunately.
Several families of house wrens are nesting at various sites throughout our front and back yards. This one was searching for insects near the blueberry bushes, along with other house wrens, bluebirds, a Carolina wren, catbirds and robins.
Bird Species in conflict # 11
This immature Northern Goshawk visited the terminal several times one winter. It would hide in the shadows behind the tanks, pipes, ladders, rails etc. and try to ambush the Pigeons when they came to roost.
On this day, the Raven flushed it, and the chase was on in the direction of my position. I could not focus until they were overhead and in a back light situation. I was happy to get this shot of the interaction before they flew directly in front of the sun. The Raven did chase it from the scene that day, but the Goshawk kept returning.
... after several Christmas dinners :-)

Several juvenile eagles were seen at Big Lake Wildlife Refuge on this visit in November. Here is a series of some of the shots from that trip.
After several failed attempts to fly off with a Woodpigeon in its talons, a female Sparrowhawk eats its prey on the grass.
One of several vintage vehicles in Bodie, California whose pieces and parts have been scattered about. I wonder if it is a Ford Model T. Who knows when, or how, this vehicle arrived in Bodie, or why it was left behind when the owner departed.
While in 1880 the population of Bodie was estimated around 10,000, by the 1910 census, there were 698 residents. By 1920, 120 people lived here and by 1943 only three, one of which was a paid caretaker. The state of California bought the town and designated it a State Historic Park in 1962 and has maintained the place in a state of arrested decay.
Several more chimneys in various locales at different times can be viewed in the first comment box below. :)

Several days ago I went outside with my camera and spent several minutes taking a few pictures of what I saw after it rained. While outside I looked across the road and and saw this little sliver of sunset light shining through the stormy clouds and highlighting a farm the next mile across the field. I thought it was a lovely little shred of light among the darkness—an encouraging message for me on that particular day as I was experiencing a lot of darkness.
Un paseo por la calle Zurbano al atardecer me llevó a esta esquina donde hice varias fotos . Esta por supuesto en color y varias más pues todo me favorecía.
SE VE MEJOR ABIERTA
A walk along Zurbano Street at dusk took me to this corner where I took several photos. This of course in color and several others because everything favored me.
IT LOOKS BETTER OPENED
