We are still seeing a few butterflies around, this Yellow Admiral was catching some sun.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Two happy rubbish bins, (trash cans), by the bus stop.
I had to remove the background as there was someone sitting on the bench waiting for a bus and she didn't want to be in the photo.
When I'd uploaded my photos I noticed that there were two bolts on each bin, so turned them into some eyes instead.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
The Newbold Memorial window was installed in 1889, and dedicated to the memory of Henry Newbold JP. In the two lights on the left is depicted Moses delivering the Law, and on the right is Jesus delivering the New Law - scripture quotations held by angels make clear the connection between the two. In the middle is Jesus seated in judgement, with the Archangel Michael.
On this week's edition of "Water Wednesday" we see the west bound "JY Local" crossing the causeway near Sanborn North Dakota. They will take the siding in town to allow an mty and a load pass them.
Another rambling story to go with this one.
The first week of the autumn Dakota trip had a few serendipitous moments. The first was running across an RRVW train further east on the Jamestown Sub near Tower City of which I've posted one shot from Buffalo. At Wheatland the RRVW had a rolling meet with the JY local, so we knew to keep our eyes and ears open for this job if we ever returned.
Another serendipitous moment occurred two days later when we happened to return to the Jamestown Sub. While driving towards Valley City, we stumbled across this spot and remarked at how cool it would be to catch something here. But since CP was actually showing signs of life, we eventually perched ourselves up on the hill at Valley City to watch a three-way meet go down.
After wrapping up with the CP and seeing nothing on the BNSF, we figured we might as well check some signals on the Jamestown Sub before heading to Oakes. The nearest one we could easily get to was out at Sanborn. Upon our arrival, it was red, indicating an EB; not ideal but it was a train none-the-less. But almost immediately after making that observation, we heard a horn to the east and were pleasantly surprised to see the JY local. Not far behind was an mty Alma train.
These kind of moments make the hobby fun when it all works out.

*I've done the peace macro before in blue...but I want to mix it up color-wise so I can do a whole set of different colors-*
Taken at the Discovery Garden in Covill Park, Red Wing, MN. Just a square crop and a bit of vintage color.
A Wall butterfly settled on the coast path between Filey and Scarborough! Happy Wing Wednesday everyone!
The Wall (Lasiommata megera) is named after its habit of basking on walls, rocks, and stony places. The patterned light brown undersides provide good camouflage against a stony or sandy surface.
The Wall favours short, open grassland, where turf is broken or stony. It is also found on dunes and other coastal habitats, as well as disused quarries, derelict land, farm tracks, railway embankments and cuttings, gardens and field edges. It is on the wing in two or three broods, between the middle of April and the end of October. It is widespread in England, Wales and Ireland, but increasingly scarce inland.
The caterpillars use various grasses, including Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum), False Brome (B. sylvaticum), Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), bents (Agrostis spp.) Wavy Hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa) and Yorkshire-fog (Holcus lanatus).

L'église St. Jacques. Unusually in a stained glass window you can see the colours from the outside.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Three WA&G GE units, all former Ford locomotives, rest outside the shop at Galeton, Pennsylvania, in July 1969, replaced by a variety of F7 units.
Why would anyone attach a tyre to a garden wall? I'm not expecting an answer to that!
Visited Lunapic to change it just a bit!

The new black house around the corner is finally finished, landscaping and fence and final paint. I'm more historic and antique loving, but this one is pretty cool. Happy Window Wednesday.
