Substituting soft toys to try to make up for him not having litter-mates. He is a "big-boy" now, and has no more interest in his bottle! 😊
Prairie Warbler. Tennessee.
For all but one of my WarblerWhisperer photo journeys I've learned locations where I can find redbud perches and most years they are available. The only exception is the southern parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway where the beautiful pinkshell azalea makes a gorgeous substitute.
I just returned from a trip with a friend to 1ndiana to see and shoot Sh0rt-eared 0wls for a few days with an added bonus of a Wh0oping Crane family! It was a lot of fun. We kept our distance from the Wh0opers and we did no owl baiting. I'll probably finish posting a few more redbud images and then share some of that. Looking forward to catching up with your posts.
I was planning on doing a nice series on the attractive purple peninsulas of pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata) which occur around the lake, and set off in the canoe to do precisely that on a beautiful, sunny Saturday in the northwoods. Unfortunately, the winds kicked up after I departed, creating not only a bad day for photos of anything from the canoe, but also a bad day to be 66 years old as the breezes tested my mettle. (I'm not sure what a "mettle" is, but I am sure it was tested and hope it's not sore tomorrow.)
Thus you will have to make do with this spotted knapweed (Centaurea biebersteinii) which is not only also purple, but has the added peculiar distinction of apparently being named for Justin Bieber. Or perhaps the latter was named for the former. Either way, I would consider both highly invasive in their own right, and tho Justin would no doubt strongly disagree, I find the weed far prettier and recommend a taxonomical redo.
In Valladolid downtown there is a church of Saint Servatius on the south side of the main square. It substitutes the one erected on 24 March 1545 by Father Francisco Hernandez, in which the main facade looked towards the West, as most colonial times temples in Yucatan. In 1705, the original church was partially demolished by order of Bishop Don Pedro de los Reyes Rios because of it’s profanation on the so called “Crime of the Mayors”.
In 1706 begins the construction of the church we see today. It was given a new orientation to look towards the main square, which is the reason why the facade of this church looks towards the north, instead of west.
Valladolid (Saki' in Maya) is a city located in the Yucatan Peninsula situated in the southeastern part of the Mexican state of Yucatán. Valladolid is in the inland eastern part of the state of Yucatan and it's the head seat of Valladolid Municipality

Some fake sugar for my tea this afternoon. Hit the spot after spending the morning out in the cold looking for a landscape shot.
Goldfinches are in full bright yellow plumage now. I got out the camera to photograph them when this guy showed up. The finches can wait.

It is always nice catching the Union Yard/Midway Yard job when the usual 1824/1896 pair has gone to Northtown for refueling or inspection, etc., as the replacement power always seems to be something different. Back in mid-December it was an SD40-2R/SD75M combo that had the honors as they pulled a cut out of Union and headed over to Midway. Seeing one of the ex-ATSF ex-SD45-2s that are captive to Northtown is fun too. BNSF 1571 (ATSF 5702) was one of the five SD45-2s back in the day to wear the bicentennial scheme for a couple of years.
Sunday's Bay Street Shuttle climbs up the grade at Glen Ridge with GP40PH-2B 4212 leading. Normally the shuttle hosts Arrow III equipment, but due to an outage a GP40 was used for the weekend.
I went to the garden center for wasp spray...couldn't find any, so came home with a selection of potted flowers instead...much better way to spend the money...I love the color on the pure white petals of this miniature carnation..as it matures, the color becomes more intense
”秋を訪ねて Visit Autumn”-Wakayama(和歌山)編再掲ー"郷愁"ー５

The Rio Grande Zephyr pauses briefly at its scheduled 8:25 p.m. stop in Provo, Utah on a pleasant April evening in 1975. At left, the usual gang of devoted fans were on hand to greet the train’s arrival, likely discussing the substitute power on the point of the train.
D8107 (20107) makes for an incongruous sight, heading away from Long Preston with the 10.35 Appleby - Skipton on Wed 12th August 2020.
Over one-third (≈34 %) of UK bank branches have disappeared from the high street in the last five years (2019–24).
The closures are part of a broader shift to digital banking, changing customer habits and operational priorities for banks.
Further closures remain planned into 2025–27 as traditional banks continue to reshape their networks.
Wellington, Somerset, UK.
In August 1991, an excursion on the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad makes a photo runby on trackage in the Port's industrial park. The train was originally going to travel from Portland to Eugene on the former Oregon Electric, but Burlington Northern had abruptly cancelled the trip two weeks earlier. At literally the last minute, an alternative trip was arranged over the Coast Range on POTB.
With its Daylight cars and grey SD9s, the train looked like a late-50s Southern Pacific special train. This Kodachrome was exposed south of Tillamook, Oregon on August 10, 1991.
While #815 was on it's 92-day inspection back in February, former SP GP60 #1107 briefly filled in on the UP YPR60. With four cars from Blommer, the 60A rolls across Tower A2 interlocking, one of the last holdouts of CNW-style GRS searchlights in the Midwest.
A spiffy rebuilt Southern Pacific SD45T-2R subs for a failed Amtrak engine as it leads the California Zephyr on the D&RGW through the Red Narrows of Spanish Fork Canyon on May 20, 1989.
A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.
Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.
Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)
In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.
While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.
Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.
Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)

Two VIA Rail trains are at Brockville, Ontario on this day with no VIA power to lead. A Canadian National MLW RS-18 has varnish on the mainline while an EMD GP-9 hols on the lead to Smith Falls and Ottawa. I remember some sort of connecting trains that would make moves here. These might have been it. I believe a small engine house or facility was here to house the Ottawa power. These Ottawa trains eventually were LRC strongholds that came straight from Toronto.
If you had to put a freight engine as a substitute on a passenger train, I doubt you could do much better than this. Rio Grande GP30 No. 3002, built by EMD for the D&RGW in April 1962, brings train No 18 to a stop to load passengers in Provo, Utah the morning of May 18, 1979.
As the IHB sees a sudden surge in traffic, two former NS GP38-2s are filling in at Gibson building autorack trains. IHB 5627 is seen here hard at work on the West end.
I moved them to my dark coffee table for a better background..This is my morning sun, since we received more snow last night...HAPPY EASTER everyone!!!! on explore march 23, #334
Dear Mother Nature, Inc.,
We have received what we assumed was a trial subscription to “Winter”. While we appreciate the generous (and overwhelming) offering, we must insist on canceling this ice covered horror show immediately. We were under the impression that this was a limited-time promotion, yet it appears to have no cancellation option, no customer support, and an auto-renewal provision we definitely did not agree to.
Please expedite delivery of our subscription to “Spring”. In fact, moving forward, please substitute "Spring" for all future deliveries of "Winter." We trust this can be arranged without additional fees.
As for our existing subscriptions to "Summer" and "Autumn," we are generally pleased with those services and require no major changes. However, we have recently been informed that a premium "Mild Summer" package exists, one that does not include spontaneous combustion or extreme heat. Kindly enroll us in that immediately.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this urgent matter before we turn into human icicles.
Best regards,
Frozen in Fresno

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for reaching out to Mother Nature, Inc. regarding your recent Winter Subscription. We regret to inform you that, as a subscriber to the Standard Full Year Package, we are unable to make changes to your plan at this time.
Our Standard Winter Package is a full-length, immersive experience and may not be modified or discontinued. This subscription is non-refundable, non-transferable, and completely inescapable. However, since you are dissatisfied with your current product, we are happy to upgrade you, at no additional cost, to our exclusive “Blizzard” and “Roads of Ice” add-ons. These enhancements have been applied to your package effective immediately. You’re welcome.
We understand that you have requested an expedited delivery of "Spring". Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand and unexpected weather-related supply chain issues, "Spring" is currently back-ordered with an estimated arrival time of mid-summer. In the meantime, please enjoy your complimentary Extended Winter Bonus Weeks, now featuring Icy Gloom™, Random Snow™, and One Last Storm™.
As for your concerns about the "Summer" Subscription, we regret to inform you that the “Mild Summer” package is discontinued, and was only available in select, undisclosed locations. You will continue to receive our Standard “Desert Expansion” Edition, which comes fully loaded with unrelenting heat, unbearable humidity, and a generous sprinkling of mosquitoes. While we would love to accommodate you, "Mild Summer" was a limited-run product and has been discontinued. We simply do not have the production capacity to bring it back.
We appreciate your business and look forward to providing you with more weather you didn’t ask for in the future.
Best Regards,
The Customer Service Team
Mother Nature, Inc.

Yes, I was watching "Mythbusters"
This Empire Builder left CHI with Charger 300 leading and this OLS unit trailing. Due to a malfunction, they were swapped out on the east side of Whitefish, Montana. Here, the train has finally made it into Whitefish depot and is doing it’s station work. I hope Amtrak purchased the extended warranty package on those Chargers?!
