This little pond becomes a reality when we have had a lot of rain or an abnormally high tide. Many times I have passed this place during a dry season and there is nothing left but a mud flat.
Snow squalls meet CPKC 241 while it charges north of Erskine. Wind and blowing snow were already a factor before this blast of snow came through. It made for a dramatic winter scene.
This little lady showed up at our place Thursday with no ID. Made herself right at home. We have checked with all the neighbors, local vets, newspapers and stores for info. Nothing. Yesterday she got a bath. Today she goes to the vet to see if she is micro chipped. She appears to have been on her own for a while. Collar was too tight. Foot pads are dry and rough. Knows her way around a house and appears to be well mannered. Loves to play and dig. Seems to accept that this is Greta's home first. We will keep looking for her owner but for now, she is safe, warm and fed.

Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while

A bit of wasp nest blew onto fresh snow. So delicate and beautiful which is weird to say about wasps. It's amazing how quick they build and that it's only for one season - most of the wasps dying off when winter hits and their home at the mercy of it as well.
Work on the extension to platforms 4 & 5 seems to have temporarily paused as 56092 accelerates through Leeds station towing a stricken HST through. March 1989.
It's September already. I feel as if it came too soon, and strangely it is as if I have been waiting for it.
It's been a trainwreck of a summer, all stinging and messy, that left me with torn up hands and a bruised heart.
But everything is temporary.

The Louis Vuitton flagship location is currently covered in scaffolding made to look like its iconic luggage.
This is an abandoned home in Ephrata, Washington. It's been empty for at least 20 years. I keep thinking someday someone is just going to tear it down and start over....

The Chequers Bus Station in Maidstone was refurbished over the summer of 2021 and to prevent buses passing through whilst work was taking place temporary bus stops were positioned in King Street.

Winter's cold bite of two weeks of sub-zero temperatures seemed like it did a number of parts of the railroad system, which apparently included Chicago intermodal services. Evidence of that was to be found on the BNSF around La Crosse last week, when there were a number of dead trains hanging out on the main line along the Mississippi River.
Here BNSF 6101 is the leader on an eastbound stack train strung out through the curves at Victory, Wisconsin. This was in the middle of three trains that were parked on the main line between the crossovers at DeSoto and Genoa. All three were intermodal trains, at least one with Fed-Ex piggy backs mixed in. This meant effectively another 9 mile section of single track on the Aurora Sub and did lead to wait times for a number of trains at either end. Ironic considering all the efforts the BNSF took a number of years ago to get rid of the single track up in La Crosse...
I took advantage of this train being parked in about the perfect spot and with beautiful sunlight on a sunny Saturday morning to do sort of a mini photo-shoot with the aerial imaging device. This angle was one I especially liked for some reason.
I just pulled up ATCS and 6 days later despite the warm-up in temperatures it doesn't appear much has changed - there's still a block in that section of track with trains running around it...
Taken remotely with my Eufy Security Cam on 8 Aug. It has rained almost an inch since mid-May. The summer monsoon is looking to be one of the driest on record after two consecutive wettest years under La Niña.
Can result from pointing your camera at the sun. ;-)))
This image is not an HDR, but I did use three different exposures blended with masks on multiple layers in Photoshop to get the final image. This happens to be a view I see almost nightly driving home from work, if you look closely you can see Horsetooth Rock on the right mountain.
