Santa Fe weed sprayer 199207 is on a work train on the TP&W at LaHarpe, Illinois, May 22, 1988. The TP&W was a Santa Fe property at the time. Photo by Joe McMillan.
The weather this weekend was very much needed to give us a taste of spring being right around the corner!
Spent part of the sunny and “warm” afternoon exploring with Tina, Cherie and my mom :) outside of Northville. We ran across some amazing places from cemeteries to farms and as I was still playing with Cherie’s 50mm 1.8, it was all very good! This turquoise color seemed to be a popular choice for a few of the old structures.

Whenever my wife and I go on a bush walk we have the same issue. She sees wildflowers and I see weeds. I guess on this occasion she is right although I dare not admit it.
The Great crested grebes at Westhay are well ahead of the game... !!
Have a look at this short 'head shaker' dance video...
This intense green weed really attracted me to this rock shelf. Apparently it is very seasonal and you only get it at spring.
Took this shot at around 5:45am, sun wasn't up yet. Exposure times were around the 2 min mark (this is a composite of two exposures (not HDR).
Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) on a species-rich road verge (A6), Taddington Dale, Peak District, Derbyshire.
A very common 'weed' of neglected dry grasslands, roadsides and waste land.
See my other Ragwort photos.
This weed grew into the wheel well of an abandoned Chevrolet truck, while casting a shadow on the fender
Tribute to the weed:
You are just a weed
I did not sow your seed
And yet, here you are
Flourishing wide and far
I bend down to pluck out a tiny nuisance
Only to see your hidden beauty and 'flor essence'.
Just back from the dentist I can’t talk yet so I shall write. Sitting in the waiting room listening to a poor little girl cry out on each extraction, apparently she had 4 out, made me very uneasy. My turn and the dentist give me the speech if that little girl could manage 4, you can handle 1, too which I replied, I’ve had this tooth for sixty odd years and I’ve got kind of attached to it. Anyway it’s now out and I’ve got another couple of hours before I can feel my right side of my face again. Today’s photo is from my November trip to the Lakes, I just love the contrast in colours with the blue slate and the weedy young sycamore leaves. I know I should be calling a tree a weed, a trees a tree, right. However the sycamore is not one of my favourite trees, baring our beautiful emblem taken from us, I find sycamores like rhododendron intrusive of our woodland, stealing the space and the light from our native species, I’d sooner see birch, beech, scotch pine and oak, much more photogenic.
While headed east on M-28 toward Negaunee to photograph the LS&I derailment I noticed the rails east of Sidnaw were not only void of snow but also storage cars. I soon found out the reason as I saw headlights through the trees as I approached Watton. E&LS SD40-2 1338 and two yellow ballast cars were working in support of a track crew repairing damage (not sure if it was from a derailment or something else). I made a mental note to look for them when I came back through later that day and I would luck out again (see other uploads).
So today I waited for 4 hours to get this and have several more as I was in continuous shooting mode
The weed sprayer train, CP 2WCM-7, continues their duties southbound on the C&M sub as they approach the Amtrak depot in Sturtevant with foreign power leading the way.

A brave little weed growing through the tarmac on the pedestrian street beside tge Wayville Showgrounds.
This little flower is no more than 1 cm, about half an inch across and is a weed growing in our front garden. I just about pulled it out but took this shot which revealed some unexpected beauty.

A most interesting weed, in that if the stems and leaves are crushed, the juices inside help relieve poison ivy and bug bites. Almost always you see the two (poison ivy and jewel weed) growing near each other...coincidence?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....
