Although the clouds didn’t display on this morning-neither did crowds of people. These quiet moments were enjoyed in Banff National Park among the mountains and calm waters.
Mom with the two babies doing OK in the backyard. The two babies were born in the front yard but moved early on. I have been trying to get some group shots but this mom doesn't like to hang around and the babies run pretty quick. On this morning they let me approach and get pretty close.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

Those rare moments when Cedar Waxwings stop for a moment are always spellbinding! Just a couple more shots from the recent afternoon at Stephanie's...
BNSF 7887 leads a westbound vehicle train through Lake Park, MN along the renowned Staples Sub.
This particular day, 17 Apr 07, was an epic day, to say the least. It was one of those rare days where everything just kind of comes together and you're left years later wishing you could have another day as fulfilling as this one. Interestingly, at the time, this train was viewed as kind of an, "Eh, I'm here; I might as well shoot it" type of shot. Today, though, catching something like this would be coveted.
Anyway, here are the shots I've previously uploaded to Flickr from this day, all of which have EMDs leading, BTW:

What a perfect time capsule for what northern plains railroading was like back then! Anyone else miss it?
Love doesn’t always have to be a shout-from-the-rooftops kind of passion. Sometimes love is simple. Sometimes love is a holy feeling — a quiet moment...
And is those quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest an extra special meaning.
Have you ever felt, that flowers are smiling to you, whenever you take their portrait in the Summer season?In your garden? Because I have! Such a joyful, bright, tender smile!! ❤️!!!!!Such a heartfelt emotion in my body!
Therefore, I am going now to share with you, some blooming smiles of my garden, in my current photos! Enjoy!!! ❤️
Well - my favourite beach breakfast spot "Duckies" turned out to be "closed on Mondays until further notice" so "Chapples" it was instead.
Chapples was a suitable alternative - and it didn't rain in the end.

Those eyes! Kyle's Langton swan song.... Two years ago, and he was still thin. Not now: his Mom has been overfeeding him, and ignoring me when I point out that both cats are now FAT.
We just sold our house in Cambria, and signed a lease on a smaller house in Morro Bay. So more changes in store for our kitties. And their humans. If there's something more stressful than moving, well. Cancer? Oh, wait....
For those of you that frequent John Heinz NWR, you know exactly the tree in this image. For those that don't, "the Egret Tree" is where numerous egrets and herons roost for the evening. I took this shot about 15 minutes before sunset and the light was a magnificent golden color that bathed everything it struck in warm golden tones. I only wish there were more egrets and herons in the tree ( I count 6 - 5 Great Egrets and 1 Great Blue Herons) at the time I snapped the image. Not sure if the leaves changed color on the Egret Tree or if they are brown (dead tree) and the light gave them a golden glow.
It's Wednesday and the week half through! Enjoy the rest of the evening.
E’ l’ultima delle 10 Nart Spider prodotte e la terzultima della serie 275.
E’ l’unica Nart venduta in Europa, certificata da Ferrari Classica.
Nata grigia, anzi esattamente grigio scuro, ora è rossa.
Ps: Nart sta per North American Racing Team (NART) che era la scuderia creata nel 1958 da Luigi Chinetti.
E’ una Ferrari da film. Una 275 Gts/4 Nart Spider ha infatti recitato in The Thomas Crown affair accanto a Steve McQueen,uno che le auto (e non solo) le ha sempre amate. Anche se nel film la definisce “one of those red italian things“. Una di quelle cose rosse italiane…. Una di quelle cose rosse e italiane che gli hanno fatto perdere la testa (un po’ come Fay Dunaway nel film) tanto che proprio durante le riprese, ordinò la prima Ferrari della sua collezione.
Hollywood a parte, la 275 Gts/4 Nart comincia la sua storia grazie a Luigi Chinetti, l’importatore americano delle vetture di Maranello.E’ stato lui a convincere Ferrari a produrre la versione spider da affiancare alla 33o Gts e alla 275 GTB/4 per soddisfare la sofisticata clientela statunitense. Un modello con una rispettabile storia sportiva: seconda di classe (17° posto totale) alla 12 ore di Sebring del 1967.
L’esemplare che va all’asta a Monaco fu venduta in Spagna, a Madrid nel 1968 a un colonnello della Legione Straniera che le mise targhe Sahariane (Spanish Sahara per la precisione) senza mai esportarla in Nord Africa però. Qualche anno più tardi cambiò di mano, restando in Spagna (con targa di Madrid) ed entrando a far parte della collezione di José Segimon che la testò a fondo anche in pista a Jarama. Nel 1982 emigrò in Inghilterra dove fu ridipinta di rosso e nel 1983 è entrata a far parte della scuderia di Albert Obrist, uno dei collezionisti svizzeri più famosi. Nel 1995 la famiglia Obrist la vendette però negli Stati Uniti dove il suo proprietario Terry Hoyle la sfoggiò spesso facendola arrivare anche sulla cover di Octane nel 2005. Nel 2009 la Nart cambio ancora proprietario finendo nel garage di Lord Laidlaw nel West Sussex. la moglie di Lord Laidlaw la guidò personalmente in un raduno riservato alle signore in Toscana… Una storia fatta di una decina di proprietari che fanno parte di una ristretta schiera di grandi cxollezionisti Ferrari (in 5 hanno avuto anche delle Gto in garage).
E’ una Ferrari gioiello, insomma.

One of the rarest roadsters in the world, the 1968 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider was first seen on the big screen in the The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen—a model the actor himself subsequently owned. Built at the behest of Luigi Chinetti, the first Ferrari dealer in the United States, Enzo Ferrari and Sergio Scaglietti produced only 10 examples—and each was given an acronym that referenced the marque’s North American Racing Team. Chinetti believed the American market desired the power of Ferrari’s GTB/4 coupe but in a convertible configuration, and that is exactly what the 300 hp, drop-top tourer provided. Still a competitor at heart, the first NART Spider took second in class at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, driven by wonder women Marianne “Pinkie” Rollo and Denise McCluggage.
Fit with a V-12 engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes, Chassis No. 11057 stands out in significance as it was the last NART Spider produced and the only one that was sold new in Europe. Bought by a Spanish colonel in the Foreign Legion, the car later travelled through several owners and became a prominent addition to the collections of both Chris Cox and Carlo Monteverde before eventually parking in the possession of Lord Irvine Laidlaw. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, the exceptional example is estimated to fetch up to $26.3 million, but who knows? If the bidding exceeds $38,115,000 (the price paid for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta through Bonhams in 2014), this Prancing Horse could take the prize as the most expensive car to ever sell at auction.

Grazie antonè per collaborazione!
I do not know if this image looks as if the temperature were hot or not, but it was 33 degrees celsius that day. The cars air-conditioning was all there was between me and the elements. But, the photo bug needed to be entertained, so off through a very thick patch of weeds I went. When I returned, my socks were covered in the tiny thorns that do natures best at spreading their progeny.
It was that low flying cloud, and its reflections that caught my eye. That made it a matter of waiting for the clouds to sit in the valley, and between the opposing hills for balance. Like an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence, the clouds made the image emphatic.
Is there any wonder why mule deer have such good hearing? Their gigantic ears help them to hear predators. There's no sneaking up on a muley!
Those antlers can't be as heavy as they look otherwise this Fallow Buck would never be able to raise his head from grazing!!😁

When the sun broke through the fog by -15°
I fondly remember that winter, even though getting to that dreamy place was quite a challenge. It snowed continuously throughout the night, and by morning there was about 60 cm of fresh snow covering the Swiss mountains. I was the first person that morning to walk through and admire this beautiful winter landscape. It was an experience that deeply impressed me and that I will never forget. It was truly beautiful to be in that spot, but getting there through the deep snow was so exhausting. Despite the icy cold, my whole body was pounding, and I quickly became so tired that I soon couldn't walk any further and had to turn back. But the experience of walking through that freshly snow-covered winter landscape was simply wonderful.
Fresh snow covers the fields, only silence, far and wide and in a moment I feel eternity.
This song holds such a powerful message for those suffering from mental illness. Because these are usually the kindest, sweetest and truest among us. They are gifted, many artfully or musically and their works are an expression of the love they hold inside. Like Vincent they too struggle to live in this tough world. Please remember to be kind.

Yesterday was one of those banner days where everything just works out. In the morning I recieved a heads up about a ballast train loading in Nieder-Ofleiden bound for Wiesbaden with two Ludmillas, so I took my camera to work incase the timing worked out. Sure enough, come mid afternoon the train was underway so I headed out of work to Eddersheim to try to catch it. The line between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden is spectacularly unscenic, but I knew here atleast the sun should stay out till last light. Forty minutes before sunset, a deep rumble to the east announced the arrival of the Soviet beasts. WFL 232 356 with 232 182 dead in tow head towards Wiesbaden into the setting sun. Grüße an der Lokführer!
This male lion had just woken up and the look in his eyes was very intense! A few minutes later, he got up and roared right next to us! What an experience!

...There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
another lovely harbinger of spring are these pretty delft blue reticulated irises popping up in my front garden beds.
those moments when our love for others, and their need for us, feels so unexpectedly overwhelming, and life so very fragile and temporary...
Thank you so much for the group cover!

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, oh"

Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

For those that are confused by my title, Don McCullin is a British photographer famed mostly for his war images. He was on the front line of many global conflicts, from Cyprus to Vietnam to Syria and many more besides. There are photos he took that I'm sure everyone will remember when they see them but perhaps do not know he was the author of.
The very first picture that McCullin ever sold was a shot of a gang of boys spread across the first floor of a bombed out building in north London in the late 50s. This image is nothing like his original image which frankly is one of my favourite images of all time for the way it so brilliantly tells the story of a time and a place. But there is something in my photo which immediately reminded me of McCullin's famous composition but in a VERY different way. Here's a link to McCullin's shot for those that may be interested:
rps.org/news/journal/2021/october/don-mccullin-the-pictur...
And for anyone who truly admires photography it is worth looking up McCullin's work. It is often disturbing because of the subject matter he depicts but it is always exceptional. He is now in his 80s and lives in the quiet English county of Somerset. Instead of wars he now prefers to shoot the landscapes of his adopted county in the most beautiful way. Perhaps an antidote to the terrible things he's witnessed throughout his career.
Those were the words of conductor McDowell as he was just a couple miles away. Waiting felt like an eternity at -21c. It wasn't long after he passed that we took cover in the truck yet again.
Well, that’s what my Dad always said. This slightly modified 1956 Dodge Coronet was a built a few years before I was born. Photographed at the 3rd Annual Red, White, and Blue Car Show in Altoona, Iowa.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
Taken in February this year in Down Under, just about three hundred meters from a breathtaking campground in a protected nature reserve. The tripod is set up, the filter carefully screwed on, and a long-exposure shot captures the scene in soft, ethereal light. Standing there all alone, soaking in the serenity of this special place, is one of those moments you remember fondly — the kind you long to return to.
