Those who know the summit of Grisedale Pike will be familiar with the nicely inclined slab that makes for a fine backrest. On this day it also acted as a great windshield as well.

This relaxed selfie shows me making the most out of the shelter and looking eastwards from the summit.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.

One of those days where you question the choices in life you made. It is a big day for me as I am finally off orientation. A day where I will no longer have the comfort of knowing that their is someone behind you every step of the way. Like the feeling of taking off those training wheels; using only your knowledge and your courage to ride forward. The fact that today was my last day, I would have wanted it to end with a bang, but that was not the case. I found myself questioning my decisions and all that I have worked so hard for. I felt so incompetent, and so stupid at the same time. These are the days that will challenge my fortitude and my desire to pursue this career. I am so nervous and unsure now, I feel like my confidence has rebounded deep within me, and finding it will take time.

طيب تعال ومد كفّك وسلّم

أخطيت صح!..أخطيت لكنّي أغليك

اتصدّق إنّي ما عرفت أتكلم

وان الحكي لو أجمعه ما يكفّيك

It was one of those days that at the end of it you just sat and thought, "that was a good day".

It made up for the cheese sandwich in the car, watching the rain day.

Unfortunately, the month of November is known for its cloudy skies which in turn makes it difficult to get sunny shots. As seen here with this M403.

The morning was blue skies, but as the ground heats up clouds begin to form leading to cloudy skies till sundown.

Here M403 is seen running along route 22 in Newark with a pair of Macs about to enter Hillside, NJ.

The latest addition in my family.

Best if viewed large.

I chanced upon this horse sheltering in the woods, it seemed ethereal, our glances for a fleeting moment seemed to open a door into each others lives.

" For our time is the passing of a shadow"

On such a perfect summer day with no fire smoke, it was natural that rail traffic was anemic. Ironically, of the small handful of shots I got, all of them were EMD leaders. What turned out to be the last of the day was this autorack seen from the Harley Road overpass in La Fox. I happened to see them stopped at Peck waiting on eastbound traffic to clear, so I pulled a uie to try out this spot (finally). It seems to have worked well.

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!!! ❤️

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Those who walk the valley of Yosemite will find themselves encircled by towering granite walls that will leave their mind in awe. Cathedrals of stone are carved by nature, though much envied by worldly religions to replicate in grandeur. Some may find a certain inner peace, enlightenment or spiritual awareness while tilting their head skyward. The church of nature welcomes all who seek quiet contemplation, renewal of spirit, or a respite from the monotony of life.

There is nothing like a warm sunny day to lift the spirits especially when you are feeling pretty with these nails from NKolour Splash of color 3 omega maitreya stiletto long maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cherry%20Isle/170/133/2434

Those columns remind me of soldiers - all standing straight in one row. Luckily, they are just beautiful ornaments to the pleasure of the visitors.

Those skyscrappers, the rounded and triangular one, are 49 and 42 floors respectively, and needless to say I was also shooting from floor 49. The opportunities there for compositions are truly endless.

Potato (left) and Marshmallow are watching as I pay attention to the goats. The sheep can be shy at first, but soon warm up and approach for pats.

Nice display of presents but the focus of the signs is Buy Buy Buy.

the sky was that perfect yesterday afternoon to skip this location just like that

.

thanks for any viewing, comment or favorite, they are appreciated.

NO group invites of any kind, ...... would be very kind thank you.

You gotta love those big midwestern skies. We don't have anything like this back in New England!

Here is another frame I liked from around Hawarden when we showed up in the morning. This is the location of an LG Everist (the D&I Railroad's parent) pit and batch plant as well as the railroad's yard and operations base. We were here just after sunrise and would get a chance to see three different jobs moving about while we watched the northbound train get assembled that we would follow up to Sioux Falls.

Here is the road train doing some switching by the north end of the yard and pit area at about MP 27.6 on what was historically the thirty-seventh sub of the Milwaukee Road's Minnesota-Dakota Division in the road's last years.

Leading the train are DAIR 3026, 3030, and 3031 (EMD SD40-2s blt. Mar. 1980 as BN 7285, Jun. 1979 as MP 6052, and Mar. 1975 as MP 3172 respectively.

Reflections On A Question Not Asked (JHWatkins)

I would not worship nature,

but

watch the firestorms

of evening Eden’s

colliding with collars of stars,

bordering the spreading blankets...

flowing......floating on mist.

Here deep spells

speak to rising hearts

of early years... tears...

and beginnings,

failed then

flourishing

in fading light.

Many the meetings in mirrors,

Reflection souls,

Broken and healed,

Sing out, having heard the cry

Wishing, then wondering-

Then washed by

colors of the night.

I would not worship nature

but cry quietly at

whispers of deep dreamy forests

drumming with wooden warmth

lost in caverns,

ascending in autumns,

forsaken in fragments

and

flames of the glowing day.

Come softer than nature,

with wounded revelations,

Waves of somber subtle summers,

winters, and springs-

Come straighter and stronger,

on strict lines of deft decisions

resting by quietest waters

of heart streams

that have come home

to the

fountain of the universe.
