"IPA 2016" Award Honorable Mention for the winning entry " Story of Piers " - October 2016
“They tried to stop her, but they failed miserably. They overlooked her, tried to discourage her, and sabotage her, but she persevered through it all with her head held high. They talked behind her back and plotted against her, but they didn’t realize that they were messing with an unstoppable, resilient Black Queen. She’s ambitious, intelligent, self-confident, and bold. She’s a Phenomenal Black Queen that didn’t have to compromise her integrity to get ahead. She’s genuinely happy, successful, and free to be herself. She can, she does, she wins!”
― Stephanie Lahart
A rare Saturday working of 6S45 presented a rare winter opportunity to see this working in daylight hours, and fortunately this coincided with an agreeably sunny day. A little after 9am 66744 is seen approaching Winning Signal box only a mile or so into it's journey.
The substantial puddle is an indication of the quantity of rain that has fallen over the past few weeks.

On 3/20/1974, the operator at North Judson has given this Erie Lackawanna eastbound the light, while the railroad that issues him a paycheck holds back on the approach.

One of the strangest and most memorable things I've lived through is being in Paris when France won the World Cup. The streets were absolutely transformed and I have many photos of people rejoicing (some that I have posted previously).
But, I also tend to be drawn to that opposite feeling and the bipolar sense that happens in reality. Because, it's such a strong current of collective consciousness when that many people are rooting for something that you actually forget it's about sports at all and it feels more about the collective spirit of France or even of humanity.
I could tell that this girl wanted to be a part of that with the way she had decorated her face and with the French flag she was holding but I think she didn't quite know how and that's an interesting thing to capture...maybe even more intriguing for me than all the wild dancing and singing. We are all young and awkward once and some of us know very intrinsically (even when we're older) precisely how this girl felt.

Easter weekend gets off to a good start, with fine weather forecast all weekend and even a little mainline steam for breakfast.

There's a little over 1 month left in the 2025 Summer Joust! Which means you still have time to enter for a chance at winning this prize for the Medieval Still Life category. Built together with Isaac.

No, not this photo, but if I had managed to get there for the sunrise, who knows, it could have been award winning. If you follow Lynne Berry (and if you don't, why not?) then you will know that I agreed to met her and her donkey at this location for sunrise. The coloured light that morning was spectacular. I know because I viewed it for the whole journey from Craster to Lindisfarne. I just got there too late.But still, always fun capturing these upturned boat sheds and that castle.
Arranged for the Macro Monday theme "Four" this might be a winning hand ... or not.
Thanks for viewing ... and for your Faves that inspire us. HMM!
Things are getting back to "normal" whatever that is. We have "kids" coming down today, and we went to a seminar on Bonsai trees where neither we nor the trees needed masks. (Well, it's voluntary, and we've had the two Covid shots and I got a distemper so that I no longer need a sedative when hearing about politicians, schools, and "gender appropriate" woke language where neither word in the phrase makes sense.
Anyway, I haven't had any time to comment on your photos, and I'll catch up tomorrow ... unless the other kids decide to come on down.
I shot another 285 cacti and succulents today, and they all survived. I'm not entirely happy because my "failure rate" is up to 70%, and I'll have to tweak my methods, especially on the smallest flowers.
On the other hand, I'm fairly happy with this Echeveria agavoides first because I can pronounce it, second because I can now put name and plant together, and third because for a flower that's a quarter-of-an-inch, it's spectacular and very satisfying.

I was told it is like winning a lottery to see colorful sky in this area. Not sure if it is true or not. I guess I got lucky :)
