I´m not really ready for spring and such.
I want snow, and more skiing still.
Getting nostalgic and found this shot from Ã…re, five years ago.
Wisconsin & Southern's T004 slowly enters the Waukesha Sub at Slinger with a throwback lash up, consisting of WAMX GP38-2 3895 & SD40-2s 4175 & 4177. For many years now, this train has been powered by former UP SD60Ms, but that was not the case this morning
SOMEWHERE you and I remember we came.
Stairways from the sea and our heads dripping.
Ladders of dust and mud and our hair snarled.
Rags of drenching mist and our hands clawing, climbing.
You and I that snickered in the crotches and corners, in the gab of our first talking.
Red dabs of dawn summer mornings and the rain sliding off our shoulders summer afternoons.
Was it you and I yelled songs and songs in the nights of big yellow moons?

Throwback to one of my older goth looks in the past.

Part of my small collection of old cameras. The Brownie Hawkeye is special because my grandfather had that type of camera when I was a kid and I was fascinated with him documenting the life of our family.

Back when AYMO was still called AYMO and was still a reliable midday train, I found it moseying into Shirley on a hazy afternoon. The autoracks seen strung along the curve in the background were also a fixture of AYMO in that era; nowadays, they're handled by SAED.
The standard-cab Dash 8 on the point was also a throwback, to a time when the NS roster was a lot more interesting than it is now.
with that tiny crocus in 2017 :)
I already seen some crocus and snowdrops (23 Jan.) near this spot but there is no sun actually...

Metroline VP345 (LR52BOU) & VP332 (LR52BNJ) arrive in convoy at Harrow Town Centre heading towards Harrow Weald on the 182, whilst VP323 (LR52BMU) heads away to Brent Cross.
Throwback to a time long ago when the B7 VPs were dominant in Harrow on the 140, 182, 640 & H12. In the space of two years only three VPs remain in use, that being VP614, 620 & 628, now sadly all to be withdrawn imminently following the loss of the H12 to London Sovereign on 01-Sept.
#throwbackthursday got me thinking and I realized that it's kind of funny that my good camera prior to about 2016 was a film point and shoot. I got it out over my cheap digicams when I wanted higher quality photos that I didn't want to lose to the things that digital files are susceptible to. It's funny, that's a big part of why I still prefer film for family events despite having a great DSLR now.

MRL's infamous Gas Local is seen hauling ass as they approach Dixon, MT. I was fortunate enough to be able to take a trip to the MRL as my high school graduation gift, and the memories made on that trip still live in my mind to this day. I yearn for the day I will be able to go back out there, as it was truly an amazing experience. Recently I have been diving back into my photos I took on that trip, so expect more to come!
One thing I fondly remember of him was he is
an attention seeker. He doesn't stop pawing me
until he gets the attention. He would sometimes stand up
touch my shoulders ( when I'm seated down ) if he would not get attention pawing me leg. If I stay much longer through the
night , he normally stays with me. If on my laptop. he stays / sits beside my laptop or even wants between me and my laptop, which can be annoying but sweet, just attention seeking.He often try to lay his little head on my arm like a pillow whilst I'm typing. If I stay much longer til the morning, there my cat stays with me. I go to bed , he goes to bed. He sleeps at the furniture near me or down the bottom on my bed, by my feet.
I missed him a lot. One reassuring thought, he picked me well to adopt him . He was given love and care in the years being with us . I cooked him fresh cat food and his chicken fav. I was his bedding . I was also his chef :) I missed my fur bag friend so much, he is a lovely soul. It was the end of him, but it's not the end to nothingness. Sometime in the future , when everything will be renewed, I will see him again.

I meant to upload today but I always get this messages of "retry" a hundred times . An ongoing flickr upload problem left for many days. This has been a problem for weeks to some people, but flickr haven't done to fixed to fix it .
If you have this experience out there, you're not alone.
The most beautiful digital camera's design is actually a tribute to the old film cameras of yesteryears.
This hardware store has been in continual operation for over 100 years in Chestnut Hill, PA. This road, Germantown Avenue, still has stone roadways and trolley car tracks (the trolleys don't run anymore). The store still has the old, creaky wooden floors and ancient shelving. And virtually anything you could want from a hardware store.
Matthiessen State Park in LaSalle County in the far western suburbs of Chicago, about two years ago.
The end of a damp October day is near as Finger Lakes Railway GS2 rumbles west through Seneca Falls, NY with there New York Central inspired painted locomotives on NYC tracks passing NYC structures.
One from what feels like a millennia ago, well, 2014 :) I spent 90 minutes in the freezing cold Lake Wanaka with leaky waders, seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this is one of the shots captured on that fortunate night.
To remember a time when sitting on a tree wasn't so offensive...
