With several inches of snow on the ground and more falling for the time being, the "Watts Dodger" local RK04-10 grinds up the hill out of Watts and into Siloam Springs, AR on Friday, January 10, 2025 as western Arkansas does its best to imitate the weather in Canada where the lead locomotive used to belong.
Several railfans are gathered on the overlook at Bennington Curve in May of 1977 to watch Reading 2102 be turned around. A set of Penn Central helpers are on the back of the duo of steam engines as it passes through BENNY interlocking.

Several sparrow families inhabit a large fuchsia bush next to a bedroom window and I often like to sit and observe their noisy, non-stop activity.

Several lovely Inca Doves have been showing up at Janice's over the winter, and these four found a nice place to huddle and enjoy the sun yesterday...on the water system cover in her yard! I wasn't able to see them from my spot on the back deck, but thankfully, Janice came out and spotted them from an unobstructed view!
Another gorgeous day, temps in the mid-60s, and I was back to shorts and tee shirt, getting my vitamin D ramped up in the sunshine, so essential for a strong immune system ...
Several hundred people turned out for the "Good Trouble" event in Vero Beach, Florida on July 17th, 2025. Today's "Good Trouble" event was a nationwide day of action called "Good Trouble Lives On," honoring the legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis. It involved over 1,600 events across the country, focusing on peaceful, nonviolent action and organizing rooted in the Civil Rights Movement, but addressing current challenges. Specifically, the protests targeted the Trump administration's policies related to civil rights, including deportations, healthcare cuts, and attacks on voting rights and social programs.
There are several varieties of Australian Christmas Bush and all are supposed to flower in December. Mine must have missed out on that instruction, having already turned a corner of the yard red, with masses of red brachts enclosing much smaller white flowers. Another image from my INDUSTAR-22 5cm f3.5 collapsible lens. Wide open and extended. The white flowers are about 1cm across.
The Photograph “Blue hour” is taken at Riisitunturi National Park on 15.3.2018. I have visited the National Park a several times in winter. Riisitunturi National Park is in the municipality of Posio in Lapland Finland. It covers an area of 77 square kilometers and was founded in 1982.
In winter the heavy snow forest in Riisitunturi is full of magic and it fascinates the traveler. The snow-covered trees form figures that are like from another planet. It is a great destination for snowshoeing and skiing and of course for taking photos. In summer Riisitunturi is a great place for hiking. There are several hiking trails and the trails are suitable for day trips or longer hikes. Riisitunturi also has some of the finest sloping bogs in Europe.
March 15. 2018 I left Oulu at night at three o’clock to Myllykoski in Juuma. My intention was to visit the at Riisitunturi on the same day and take a photo of the blue hour and also photograph Aurora Borealis if they were visible. Upon the arrival to Juuma I first drove to Myllykoski where I photographed the sunrise and morning lights.
In the afternoon I left Juuma and drove first to the municipality of Posio where my camp was. After eating and taking a nap in the evening I drove to Riisitunturi. The distance from Posio to Riisitunturi is about 35 kilometres. It is a half an hour drive on good snow covered roads. It was quite a rush as the sun was setting already. I just got to the fell and managed to take a photo during the blue hour. That image is a five-photo vertical panorama.
I was still waiting for the Aurora Borealis in the evening. There was moderate wind higher in the fell and it began to become cold so i was forced to descend from the fell. When i got to the parking area at the bottom of the fell the Aurora Borealis started to shine.

Second in the series inspired by and dedicated to Bill Smith of the PANO-Vision Group. This is my attempt at trying my hand at a technique that he's perfected employing some very radical shifts and twists with his iPhone on Pano.
I've added some extreme mirroring elements using the same image but subjecting them to the "multi-facet" mirroring that's available in the "Affinity" software. Then these were layered in over top. ALL the elements are the same image used in many different ways.

Music Link: "Thirty Frames a Second" - Simple Minds, from their album "Empires and Dance" ( 1980 ). Before 1982 the Minds were a very, VERY creative, experimental band that were poised to be one the greatest innovative groups of the 80's but like a lot of artists of the time, they smelled the money and went for a strictly mainstream approach. Not that that was all bad with such hits and "Don't Forget About Me", "Sanctify Yourself" and "Alive and Kicking". But this "pre-fame" period was unquestionably their greatest as un-spoilt Artists.
The song portrays a Science Fiction staple of what would happen to someone for whom time is going backwards as they experience everything in reverse.

Several weeks ago, while visiting family and friends in Japan, I took this photo in the Shimonogo area of Ueda Shi, Nagano Ken
Several mostly blue-green lichen grow on the metal guardrail of a footbridge. There are a foliose lichen (shield lichen?) several fruticose lichen (reindeer lichen, oakmoss lichen), a moss with some cladonia growing in it and a brownish orange crustose lichen looking like some kind of rusty spot.

Several pieces of ice scattered out on the lake ice made for some fun winter subjects. Likely thrown out by kids or someone wanting to watch them shatter.
Photos from a short walk at the park, sorry for so many. Temps have warmed for now so much of the ice is disappearing.
A goanna is any one of several species of lizard of the genus Varanus found in Australia and Southeast Asia. The sand goanna (Varanus gouldii), also known as Gould's monitor, is a reptile that excavates large burrows for shelter. It inhabits a vast range throughout Australia, reaching an average length of 140 cm (4.6 ft) and weighing as much as 6 kg (13 lb). Adult female Gould's goanna average two-thirds the body length and only one-third the mass of adult males. When breeding occurs, the male goanna locates the burrow of a female and builds a burrow of his own a few meters away. Over several days the male and female spend an increasing amount of time together. Eventually, they begin to copulate. They continue to mate over and over again for several days. During this period of intense breeding activity, the pair may share the same burrow. After many days the intensity of copulation declines and the goannas separate and forage independently. When it is time to lay the eggs, the female locates an active termite mound. She digs a tunnel towards the center of the mound 50 to 60 cm deep. At the end of the tunnel she digs a large cavity. The female then sits on the top of the mound and lays 10 to 17 eggs into the tunnel. Afterwards she refills the tunnel, and the termites reconstruct the mound around the goanna eggs. The termites regulate the temperature and humidity, so this is an excellent place for development of the eggs. Adult monitors will prey on mice, other small mammals, small birds, crustaceans, scorpions, large insects, small lizard species, snakes, amphibians, eggs, and carrion.
Several trucks which belonged to Bill Keys are rusting in the desert at Joshua Tree National Park. Keys spent 10 years in prison in the 40's for killing a neighbor in a dispute. Keys was eventually exonerated and released.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical Sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is orientated towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. [Wikipedia].
A blustery day (gusts of 40mph, according to the forecast), but sunny with cloud. TPE (The Photographers Ephemeris) showed good side lighting in the mid-morning, which was ideal for the shot I had planned from the day before (which was cloudy and wet).

Several years ago the South Pond, an awful and dirty lagoon where one could paddle swan-shaped boats, was totally transformed into a small wetland surrounded by prairie plants, and a fabulous board walk that makes it accessible to everyone. This year, for some reason, this area which has previously had an abundance and a variety of butterflies, and insects, is pretty devoid of them: a few bees, and occasionally a cabbage butterfly.
So i was exceedingly thrilled to find this skipper, which suddenly plopped onto a beautiful flower.
Several of our neighbors have chickens & roosters and we often hear the hens laying eggs and the roosters crowing. It delights us every time!
With several inches of fresh snow and frigid temps that assured it wouldn't melt I headed west after work for a couple trains at one of my favorite spots that offers up perfect morning light.
CSXT train I022 (hot Syracuse to Worcester long pool intermodal) with 2748 tons and 4443 ft of train trailing two big Gevos up front makes effortless work of the 1% grade up Charlton Hill as they sail thru the interlocking at CP60 on modern day CSXT's Boston Sub mainline, the once and forever Boston and Albany Railroad. The train's destination is only fifteen miles away after making a fast early morning run along the Mohawk River, across the Hudson and up over the Berkshires on the the old Vanderbilt road.

Last year I swapped some home grown tomato plants for a plant I've never grown in my garden, Teasel. I'm pleased to say several teasel were given to me and once they flowered they where enjoyed by lots of insects especially bees. This is one of the seedheads taken macro 1:1 using flash and LED spotlights.

Several friends and I went looking for alligators in the marshes at Arkansas Post Nature Preserve in South Arkansas last weekend. What I didn't realize was the vast amount of other wildlife we would see. This Summer Tanager flew right up next to us and posed for several minutes.
Several moons ago i could walk up here without even thinking about it but thats not the case these days, but its on my bucket list to get one more sunrise from here so watch this space.
Several of these 'swarming' near around fence and hedge near work. Despite having found this species before, I struggled to ID these! I was helped by a few people on Twitter. I'd previously seen females, which are quite a bit larger! These pics are all of one individual.

I saw several Banded Demoiselles on a meadow near the river yesterday but most of them were extremely camera-shy. When I was almost ready to give up I found one who was willing to pose for a few photos.
Several plants, including a red maple, have colonized this boulder surrounded by the water of a New Hampshire pond, perhaps 50 feet from the shore. I'm afraid their future is not rosy, but I will come back next year to see how they are doing.
Several years ago I wandered through one of our local cemeteries. I came upon this small chapel among the graves and headstones.
I thought it made a respectful and lovely image.
I've used several effects to arrive at this serene rendering. May all who are in this scene rest in peace.
Several countries have monuments to the Unknown Soldier, but perhaps only Iceland has a sculpture honoring — and lightly satirizing — the thankless, anonymous job of the bureaucrat.

Several Am Wigeons were chasing each other and calling out in their whistly voices. They appear to gather in large flocks and do this in the fall.
Virginia Lake, St John's
Several Red-eyed Vireo were around the parking lot and tried to drive their competition away. I got told off a couple times also.
Maybe not fifty, but quite a bit of grey on a foggy and overcast afternoon in January. Crescent Beach, Surrey, B.C.
Several families of Chipping Sparrows have been coming to the backyard feeder. Most of the young can now feed on their own although a few still harass the adults for food.
Several shot pano taken from the top of Coit Tower in San Francisco. A unique perspective as you can see across the city including both bridges, the Golden Gate on the right and the Bay Bridge on the left.

Following several mornings of good sunrises, and with a decent forecast given, my mate and I made the, relatively, short drive to Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire,
Although things looked promising upon our arrival, clouds over the land moved a lot faster out to sea than anticipated, and so we never actually saw the sun, just the thin sliver of light you see in this image.
My mate had already made his way down to the beach in the dark, illuminating his way with his head torch, whilst I took the opportunity to take some shots from up top.
As I descended the steps I saw him stood, motionless, surveying the scene, no doubt a little despondent, and wondering if the journey was a bust. As he stood there, I noticed the light that his head torch was casting as he moved his head side to side. And so I quickly set up for a shot, praying that he didn’t move during the long exposure. After getting him, I then shot the foreground and blended the two together in post.
