The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad (WSOR) is a class II regional railroad operating in southern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. From 1987 to 1990, it operated a dinner train known as the Scenic Rail Dining (SRD) Train between Granville and Horicon, WI. The train was painted in a unique livery of yellow and blue and was pulled by an E9, number 10C. Like my standard WSOR E9A, this one is powered by two L-motors and geared 1:1.667. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Taken at the late, lamented Eagan's in downtown Milwaukee. A rather classy eatery/watering hole where performers and patrons of the Milwaukee Symphony and the Performing Arts Center would gather after shows.
And a perfect place for us gals to show off :)

My nephew doing some New Years day ice fishing, back in Wisconsin. He said it was -8 out. Nice Northern pike he caught .
Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.

Missed the first half of the Packer game because I just had to take advantage of some great light and perfect wind. This is the statue atop our Capitol building here in Madison and you can see Lake Mendota and Picnic Point behind her.

Amtrak's train 7, the westbound Empire Builder, is about to make a station stop at Columbus, Wisconsin on Friday, May 13, 2015. Note the friendly wave from the engineer.
Make no mistake, I am under no illusions about who or what I am. But, also make no mistake about it, I simply love dressing and presenting myself as a female. This outfit is a perfect example. Everyday, perhaps, but in my eyes very special.
Please don't ask me why I feel this way. I don't know, and more importantly, I don't care. It's my life, and I am trying to make the most of it.
2012 has been very good to me in terms of my life and my new passion for photography. If I went back a year in time and saw this picture I probably wouldn't believe that I took it. Every time I pick up my camera I learn something new. I can only hope that 2013 is as good as if not better than 2012.
The best way to get models for a shoot is to tell them it will take a lot less time then it will actually take... Told my sister it would only take 5-10 minutes. Probably took 10 minutes just to find the tree I wanted her to hide behind. :) Her fiance is the Psycho with the Chainsaw.
