一張可以完全表達一個人對照片內容的最深沈的感受的照片才是張絕佳的照片。
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

Moving in was completely strenuous. I had 72 or so hours to do it and had to work two of those nights. Tuesday I stayed the night one last time at my place but wednesday all the big furniture & heaviest boxes were moved courtesy of my uncle (technically ex-granduncle in law) and his son before their construction job that morning leaving me with one last day to move everything from my old apartment to my new one in the same complex (I had to downsize because of rental rates rising), a feat that sounded easy enough until I had to do it. The remaining boxes, my plastic cabinets, a glass coffee table & more miscell items were carried by I alone back and forth all day to meet the deadline of the end of business on day 3 and this was on top of cleaning & vacuuming. It was.....miserable and my arms are STILL a little sore from all of it but I managed and decided to reward myself with some dolls at walmart while grocery shopping.
I really should've gotten Catrine when she was $10 but I hadn't wanted her until her price had been corrected and didn't buy her due to that and to not finding a cute one. Thankfully this lovely was there and having some of my tax money left, as well as my desire to reward myself, emboldened me to ignore the extra $9 and just get her.
Catrine totally grew on me with time and while I'm still learning how to place her chalks in hand so that they look natural I do really love her, especially after slightly remixing her hair ;3
I got a few shots of this friendly Robin who was more than happy to pose for a few frames.

Perhaps "All in the Family" was onto something.

Those that know me well, know I LOVE taking photos of trees. And what better place to photograph trees than at Yosemite National Park, particularly during a wet, snowy winter morning. I think this series of photos came out like a pencil sketch or an infrared photo, or something....anyway, I thought it looked really cool.
The minimal objects that earns one's livelihood. These pinwheel sellers are mostly from those poor families living in Pakistan.
In a run to get their products sold, they move form one to another streets and after such a hard work they just get themselves succeeded in earning a little cash crunch that is hardly enough to run their domestic affairs.
what I mean is, after you've gotten dressed, fixed your hair and jewelry, applied your makeup, then . . .
Do you comport yourself in a female, womanly, ladylike manner? How do you sit? How do you walk? How do you exit a car?
How about your hands? Do they perform those very feminine things like touching your hair? Do they, from time to time, straighten out your skirt?
One thing I try to do is when having a conversation with someone, is gently touch their hand or shoulder.
It takes practice, but after a while those "little" touches become automatic
Those of you who have known me for a while will already be aware of my love of churches.
What you may not know is that I have waited for years for the moment I would be able to step inside this one. I've been to Linlithgow in Scotland several times and during every visit, St. Michaels wasn't open due to an on-going service, late hours, etc. And so finally, on this trip, I was able to step through those lovely doors, the sun came out from behind the clouds, and this place transformed into magic through light.
For the curious: St. Michael's
Either of those words on their own would be significant understatements. Together, they still might be.
What a day today was. What a bride. What a couple.
Wow.

Those moments where you sit alone,
And feel the world turn
And feel it all around you

I love those moments when you're alone and feel all full up with everything. : )

Those of you who know me, know how much I love owls : ) Needless to say, I couldn't resist taking a quick shot of this garden ornament in the attractive picnic area at Pioneer Acres. I liked the spider webs, too. Just for fun ....
My daughter and I had a such a great day on 5 September 2017. She had a free day, so we decided to drive east of the city and visit the Pioneer Acres Museum. The day started off with seeing three perched Swainson's Hawks, which were a bonus. We had passed the colourful old truck and tractor displayed on tall posts, to indicate Pioneer Acres, on various occasions and this time, we actually went to the museum. What an amazing collection of old farming equipment, some standing outdoors and many others in large sheds. Have to say that I am always attracted to older, rusty things, and there was no shortage of these, either.
"Pioneer Acres is operated by a team of volunteer members who, in many cases, have extended their golden years of retirement, performing the duties necessary to meet the club's objectives. These include work to collect, restore, maintain and demonstrate the artifacts which were used by the pioneers of early Alberta.
The end result is that present and future generations have the opportunity to glimpse into our pioneering past through the artifacts on display and demonstrated. Younger members of the club also learn the care, maintenance and operation of these living artifacts." From link below.

While we were walking round the grounds, visiting each massive shed in turn, my daughter spotted a Plains Garter Snake, and waved me over to see it. She also saw several birds running round behind one of the sheds, and when I went to check, I found there were four Gray Partridge running off in the distance. A distant Jackrabbit completed our wildlife sightings, first noticed when it was standing tall and upright on its back legs. My mind wandered to Alice in Wonderland : )
Though we did not do a tour of the inside of the "Long" House, we found it an impressive building, complete with a few Sunflowers, Hollyhock and other flowers in the garden, and a tall, metal windmill that had a different design from ones I usually see.
"The "Long" House was built in 1914 by John Thomas on a farm just northwest of Irricana, Alberta. It has been lived in by three generations of the Long Family since 1914. The house was donated to Pioneer Acres, moved to our location, and restored to 1929 status." From the Pioneer Acres website.
There is also an old schoolhouse on the Museum site. "The Crown School, built in 1905, was located west of Three Hills on Highway 583. It closed in 1953 and was bought by the district of Allingham for use as a community league. In 1996, the building was relocated to Pioneer Aces of Alberta Museum." From the Alberta Teachers' Association website.
After spending a long time walking round the grounds, we decided to drive through Irricana itself in order to get back to the highway. I had seen photos on the Internet of three murals there - sunflowers, crayons, and a view of the old grain elevators that had once stood nearby - and I wanted to go and see them. All near each other, as this town only has a few streets. I had never been to Irricana before and I was impressed with what a delightful place it is, full of brightly coloured murals, and well kept. One of the outer roads had many flower beds along the edge, watered with well water, looking most attractive.
I had asked my daughter if she was interested in calling in at the Silver Springs Botanical Gardens in NW Calgary, if there was time after our drive east. I had planned the drive ahead of time, partly because I had also seen a photo somewhere on the Internet of a rather nice old barn that I really wanted to see. We were not disappointed, though it was a shame to see that the cupola had fallen from the roof since that photo was taken. I had never driven through the town of Airdrie before, but did the "drive" on Google Earth the night before and it looked straightforward enough.
Returning to the city via Cochrane, my daughter told me how to get to Silver Springs. I had never driven there before, but I had been there with a friend last year, I think on 1 October, and thoroughly enjoyed these meticulously kept gardens. We were just too hot and tired to see every inch of the garden, but finished off with photographing sunflowers and enjoying the American Goldfinches that were feeding on them, before we continued on our way.
A great day, despite the heat and smoke from the B.C. and Alberta wildfires (distant low visibility, too). Thanks so much, Rachel - hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. We drove 256 km (used about half a tank of gas, or less). I was absolutely tired out from the heat and driving unfamiliar roads.
Those poor people who had to spend those hours from Plymouth, Exeter or even all the way from London on this uncomfortable seats. Or whom bought a long distance first class ticket and didn't get a proper service. Although these Hitachi's might look nice, they are horrible for passengers ...
The Hymn of God's Word "Those Who Accept the New Work Are Blessed" | Gospel Music
Blessed are all those who are able to obey the actual utterances of the Holy Spirit. No matter how they used to be, or how the Holy Spirit, how the Holy Spirit used to work within them, those who've gained the latest work are the most blessed ones. Today, those who can't follow the latest work will be eliminated. God wants those who can accept the new light, and those who accept and know His latest work.
II
Why must you be a chaste virgin? A chaste virgin can seek the work of the Holy Spirit; she can take in the new things, and give up the old notions, and obey God's work today, obey God's work today. These people, who accept the newest work of today, were ordained by God before the world, and are the most blessed ones. You hear the voice of God , and behold the appearance of Him. So, in all times and generations, and throughout heaven and earth, none have been more blessed than you, this group of people.

Faroese sheep on the island of Sandoy, in the Faroe Islands. They really enjoy staring at you while you go about your business.

Those eyes are to die for! He makes eye contact all the time. Soooo sweet! I love it when he plays with squeaky toys and starts squeaking them incessantly, all the while growling and tossing his head. It's quite entertaining!
I'll put it here too... anyone have any brilliant name ideas??? For some reason we can't come up with just the right name!
I consider this an early Easter present to myself. Easter is supposed to be a time for new beginnings, after all…so this might be the start of something new for me. ;)
Those meter gauge units have been given a facelift and branding applied since my last visit. This set is coming off the depot via the connecting line that runs up to the TEZ routes.
in our house two of those who give us peace and love and joy.

One of the best parts of going to see the Bristlecone Pines were the roads. Simply amazing. Here are a couple I really like.

The line Ostend-Dover was very busy, one Ferry leaving, one Ferry arriving.
One of the main gateways to Europe!
This is a document now, that service and all the ferries have sadly been scrapped!
For us, to get to Belgium it is HULL>>>>ROTTERDAM in Holland, or driving the 6hours south, DOVER>>>>CALAIS or DUNKIRK in FRANCE.
HELP, I want to get off the island!
So here some memories!
Have a lovely day and thank you for your likes and comments, M, (*_*)

A Double Play...for Doubleday?
Hah, well if not for him...for me at least. To those that are even casual students of our National Pastime will know the name Abner Doubleday and the town of Cooperstown. The latter is a quaint upstate New York village beside Otsego Lake that is home of the Baseball Hall of fame. The former is the alleged inventor of the game of baseball in that very town in 1839, hence the choice to locate the hall of fame here in 1937. And while most historians believe the Mills Commision's assertions about Doubleday and Cooperstown are nothing but fiction, the legend still sticks here.
But to railfans there is more than just baseball in Cooperstown. The Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley operates a heritage railroad and museum along the historic line of the same name first opened in 1869. The original road came under D&H ownership in 1903 and was operated as branch of that Class 1 for 67 years. The branch was sold to the Delaware Otsego Corp in 1970 and freight trains continued to operate into the mid 1980s along with excursion trains. The last freight ran in 1987 and the line was completely moribund until being sold to the Leatherstocking Chapter of the NRHS in 1996. Incidentally, despite selling the branch the Delaware Otsego Corp (parent company of the NYS&W) retained ownership of the passenger depot in Cooperstown where they still maintain their corporate headquarters despite having no rail operations in town.
Despite having been in existence as a tourist railroad for more than two decades I'd never visited the operation. But in a twist of good fortune I made a totally unplanned trip to Binghamton chasing an NS train on the old D&H the day prior to this photo. While out that evening with an old railroader/railfan friend he told me that the CACV just happened to be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of their railroad the very next day.
Based out of the small town of Milford south of Cooperstown they had a full weekend of special events and extra trains. The highlight of the event was the first steam locomotive to traverse these rails since the 1970s and included a bit of rare mileage almost into downtown Cooperstown.
Viscose Company #6 is an 0-4-0 saddle tank loco built by Baldwin in 1924. Originally assigned to the American Viscose Company plant in Roanoke, VA she was sold for scrap in the early 1960s. Never cut up she languished for decades in the yard of Gem City Iron & Metal Company in Pulaski, VA. Purchased by Scott Symans of Dunkirk, NY in 2004 and restored over the next three years she now travels by truck to shortlines and tourist railroads all over the country that do not have steam locomotives of their own.
She weighs 60,000 lbs and has a 17,360 lb tractive effort.
Here she is just starting to pull south from her photo op at the Cooperstown village welcome sign just north of here at Chestnut St. / Route 28 crossing.. This little bit is rare mileage as the normal northern limits of CACV operations is the runaround track a half mile south of this point and this crossing is clearly out of service and marked exempt.
So there you have it...a double hit of rare mileage and rare steam...and all totally unplanned!
