Just North of Clearwater BC, the water sure is clear with the elegant deep blues and greens from the icefields in the Rockies. Passing the old station name of North Thompson which doesn't appear anymore on modern timetables, an empty coal drag bound for Alberta crosses a small bridge over the river the station is named after.

A straightforward portrait of one of the most common animals we encountered within the Masai Mara National Park. These antelope aren't headline grabbers or regarded as part of the Big 5, Big 9 etc but they are great to observe.
Dr Neil's Garden, Duddingston, Edinburgh.
Thomson’s Tower, designed by William Henry Playfair, and built in 1825 for the Duddingston Curling Society to store its stones. The upper floor was both a meeting place for the curlers and a studio for the respected artist the Rev. John Thomson, minister of Duddingston from 1805 till 1840.
"Thompson seedless - A vigorous deciduous vine with bold-textured, deep green foliage, grown for its large bunches of classic, small, sweet, mild-flavored, green grapes. A good mid-season table grape. This vigorous, twining vine works well as a screen for arbors or trailing along fences."
An eastbound Rio Grande freight waits in the hole by the station at Thompson, Utah. After a couple of westbounds clear the single track east of Thompson, the train will proceed east toward Grand Junction. Thompson was a regular stop for the Rio Grande Zephyr, and after Amtrak’s California Zephyr took over the route in 1983, was a flag stop until 1997.

Thompson's Bay is on the KZN North Coast about 45 min from Durban. Access to the beach is via a walkway from Ocean Drive (north of Ballito). Although it is a beautiful location, I have not succeeded in three consecutive photo shoots to come away with any photo I really like. Henry and I went there early on 21 September 2014, one hour before the 05:48 sunrise. The previous two occasions the sea mist blurred things up and on this occasion there were no clouds to spice the sky up and make it interesting. Nevertheless, it was still an awesome opportunity to be at one with nature on a desolate beach before it got busy.
During the 1850s the genre painter Jerome Thompson specialized in picnic and harvest scenes that earned him considerable financial and critical success.Here,the mood is one of optimism and well-being,as signified by the bright sunlight,the bountiful crop of food,and the carefree,flirtatious behavior of the figures,whose activity suggests equal parts work and leisure.Many of Thompson's paintings were widely re-produced in the 1860s as chromo lithographs of Apple Gathering (another work)-produced and distributed in 1866 the year after the end of the Civil War-suggests the nostalgic appeal of Thompson's rural imagery,preceiived as embodying positive and national values.Here's another painting by Jerome Thompson I shot at the MET earlier this year
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona. It is one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum”, the arboretum is located in the Sonoran Desert on 392 acres (159 ha) along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is on U.S. Highway 60, an hour's drive east from Phoenix and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Superior, Arizona.
The arboretum has a visitor center, gift shop, research offices, greenhouses, a demonstration garden, picnic area, and a looping 1.5-mile (2.4 km) primary trail that leads visitors through various exhibits and natural areas. The exhibits include a cactus garden, palm and eucalyptus groves, an Australian exhibit, South American exhibit, aloe garden and an herb garden. There are also side trails such as the Chihuahuan Trail, Curandero Trail, and High Trail.
Over 2600 species of arid land plants from around the world grow at the arboretum. Agaves, aloes, boojum trees, cork oaks, jujube trees, legume trees, and, in the eucalyptus grove, one of the largest red gum eucalyptus trees ("Mr. Big") in the United States. Cacti and succulents grow extensively throughout the arboretum.
Because the arboretum is a riparian zone, the park attracts Sonoran Desert wildlife and migrating birds. Visitors have seen bobcats, javelinas, coatimundis, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, hawks, hummingbirds, and vultures. 270 bird species have been spotted in the park and the Audubon Society has designated the arboretum as an Important Bird Area.

On the former BC Rail Squamish Sub, a Southbound passes Station Name Sign Thompson as it approaches Squamish. My good friend Christian, seen filming on the right, and myself were in Squamish shooting the West Coast Railway Association's former BC Rail BUDD cars when we heard the southbound approaching. I don't know anybody else who is as passionate about BC Rail as Christian is, and he is a great friend to shoot with.
This shot illustrates why the bird is called a Crossbill... the upper and lower mandible do indeed cross. This evolutionary adaption is such that this species can pries out the many embedded nuts in the conifer cones with little effort. The species is regular up here but not predictable... they often travel is large flocks. Their presence is, however, closely related to the success of the conifer cone crop in the local forest.
