Finally a group shot of my big ones!
There's just not enough room for such shots. But at least I have 2 daylight lamps and umbrellas now so I can shoot whenever I like (if I manage to position them in that tight space somehow).
My poor boys only have one whole outfit each. I don't even like Ki's much yet. But it's so hard to find boy stuff that isn't too modern looking and fits with what I have in mind for them. Well, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg that is... *sigh*
And I think I need a new wig for Ki. The bangs came out to short in the end.
Btw: I love when dollies hold hands. SO cute! x3
Stanier Mogul 13268 steams away from Ramsbottom station, with the driver collecting the token from the signaller as the train heads north. Seen on a Richard Newton/3P20 Parcels Group photo charter on the East Lancashire Railway.

The working is the 14.15 Kidderminster to Bridgnorth service.
Can anyone identify the people in the photograph.
This may not be everyone's cup of tea I could have enhanced the sharpness but wanted to portray the feeling of movement.
My Black and White collection has recently come back to me after being absent for over 20 years. 'A long story'! I will probably bore you with many more of these in the future.

6M11 slows on approach to St. Bees station.
The signalman has braved the elements and crossed the footbridge to the "up" platform.
With his left arm raised he holds aloft the token for the single-line section to Sellafield.
The driver of No.66569 will exchange it for the one he obtained from the token cupboard on Bransty station.
On the "down" platform the "Harrington Hump" is evident.
This is a custom-built modular system devised to elevate now under-height platforms to train door level and is ramped to facilitate access for the disabled.
Its name derives from the fact that the initial installation of a hump was on the "up" platform at Harrington, 4 stations down the line from St. Bees.
Project 365, 2022 Edition: Day 213/365
100x: 60/100
I'm just back from 9 days at the cottage, a working vacation. Sunday evening to Friday was spent in a solo writing retreat, with Danny joining me for the long weekend. We're only home in Waterloo till next weekend, then going back for a week of vacation together.
I took photos every day, too. Although the cottage has no electricity service or cable, we pick up data from a nearby tower new 3 years ago. Early in the week I was able to upload 8 photos directly from my phone to Flickr. That stopped working. I don't know why. I run my laptop off a marine battery. It is also possible to tether the computer to my phone and upload photos that way. However, I didn't do it this time because I had to watch my usage. I was able to attend a virtual class for a writing course, and on Sunday we had an annual reunion with old school friends of mine, but I couldn't afford to go over my data limit.
I shot photos every day. I have about 400 Canon and 180 phone images of many different subjects to wade through. Once they're sorted, I'll pick a favourite from each day for Project 365.
I didn't want to neglect the other project, 100x. To approximate the studio conditions in my home office, I set up a few shots like this one on the dark pine table in the living room. The cottage offers no artificial light except propane lamps, which are far too yellow. However, the living room has better natural light than home. I will probably include two more photos from earlier in the week for 100x, which would make this 60/100, but I'll update the info once they're processed.
This image is kind of a souvenir containing mementoes of the week found lying around while I was cleaning up to leave yesterday: lichen, clubmoss, an apricot pit, a game token from Dominion, and a bit of female cardinal yarn from Songbirdfibres.ca -- little bits of things I'm fond of.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
"The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt."
Exodus. 12:13
"kuinka paljoa enemmän on Kristuksen veri, hänen, joka iankaikkisen Hengen kautta uhrasi itsensä viattomana Jumalalle, puhdistava meidän omantuntomme kuolleista teoista palvelemaan elävää Jumalaa!"
"huru mycket mer skall icke Kristi blod -- då han nu genom evig ande har framburit sig själv såsom ett felfritt offer åt Gud -- rena våra samveten från döda gärningar till att tjäna den levande Guden!"
"how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Hebr. 9:14
A friend has a collection of these pieces of jewelry. I had not heard of them but often they contained pictures of the loved ones and a symbol of their branch of the armed services. Interesting!
The 2H62 11:20 Wick [11:22 ex-Thurso] ScotRail service to Inverness is eased into the Up platform loop at Muir of Ord. The tokens were being exchanged that would enable 37417 'Highland Region' to continue its journey south with this Sunday service.

An image captured in the late afternoon at Doiwala, Uttarakhand, India in February 2012. Indian Railways WDM-2A Alco 16856 eases the SO 15:35 Dehradun to Muzaffarpur Junction Train 5002 towards the station.
The locomotive crew were in the process of collecting [right] and dropping [left] the respective section tokens while a member of the station staff waits on the ballast next to the passing loop to pick up the surrendered token.
According to the IRFCA Locomotive data base, this Gonda [GD] allocated Alco unit was rebuilt at DLMW, Patiala in 2016 and re-classified as WDM-3A. It was listed as still in service in early 2022 having been transferred to Izzatnagar [IZN] shed.

There's currently a vote going on to retire a Monopoly token and introduce a new token.
Here's the token lineup from the standard 1960's-era Monopoly set: the iron, battleship, thimble, cannon, racecar (#3), top hat, shoe, and Scottie dog.
go back 50 pictures in my photostream to see the aluminum, parade throw version of this Mardi Gras token. These brass tokens were given out as party favors.
Preparing to exchange single line tokens on the approach to Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway.
156464 slows to a stand at Midge Hall on 4th October 2022 with 2F47 1326 Preston to Ormskirk. The driver will collect the token as authority to proceed to Rufford where it will be surrendered to the signaller there and the train will continue to Ormskirk on the single line under One Train Working rules, again with another token.
It would be very unusual if a driver stopped or even slightly slowed for a token exchange in the days when I was at Rufford, and the act of giving and receiving the tokens for the two single lines was done at some speed!
This was something I saw taken to the extremes when travelling behind 37s on the West Highland Line in the early eighties, when some of the token handovers made our West Lancashire ones look positively pedestrian....
A recently completed scheme at the junction of the Buckingham Road and the Upper Shoreham Road. The main element is a much needed extra pedestrian crossing on the USR, which will be well used by kids and parents heading to and from the local schools. There's also this short strip of bike lane. I will use it most days, but on its own it has minimal impact. It does put-off parents on the school run from parking on the yellow/double yellow lines that were here, partially blocking the junction. A proper cycle lane along the USR would be good, but the well has been poisoned by the awful temporary one that got put in and taken out over the pandemic.
Something of a rarity is the sight of a token exchange involving a High Speed Train, but on each summer Saturday this occurs on four occasions at Whitland, Carmarthenshire.
This example features 1L90, the 14.55 (SO) Pembroke Dock to Paddington, on 23 June 2018, the train had just come off the Pembroke Dock branch behind the photographer, the driver giving-up the token to the signalman before the working continues its journey to the capital.
Seen to the right of the image is part of Whitland Signal Box, it was installed here in 1972 having earlier performed the same function at Danygraig (Swansea).
