Dearly Departed Grandpa...
For all the times you kissed my forehead when I cried,
For all the choices you helped me to decide...
For the laughter and smiles you gave me,
For all the teasing and fear you instilled in me...
Like stories of werewolves, hide-behinds and snakes,
haunted houses and vampire stakes.
For all those nights spent wonderfully awake,
from all the candy that gave me a stomach ache...
For being my partner in crime...
Me and you against the world all the time.
You truly were a hero to me,
so thank you Grandpa for leaving a wonderful memory...
I'll cherish each one like they were gold...
From now, forever and when I am old...

A Rio Grande GP40-2 pulls a train of Difco side dump cars through Spanish Fork Canyon at Castilla, Utah the afternoon of Feb. 14, 1988. With a locomotive on each end, the work train made multiple trips between a slag dump on the Geneva Pipemill Spur and the 1983 Thistle Line Change, dumping riprap along tracks to sure-up the right of way.
After being out a while this morning, I was alerted to this eastbound work train Amtrak was to take on their line towards Michigan City. The overpass is the location of NS's CP502 on their Chicago Line.
Now that winter has waned I may be one of the few around here to lament that. So here is a shot from a cold day several months back that I like as it captures a bit of everything: the classic local freight, the human element, the interesting interconnected track work, 'heritage' New England colors, and that wintery feel.
After NECR 611 got out of their way headed north the Mass Central Railroad local crew alighted from their single unit to line the switch at the south end of their property to enter the interchange track and swing east down to the small yard to drop off and pick up interchange to/from CSXT on this chilly afternoon. GP38-2 1751 (ex PC 7997 blt 7/72) looks sharp in her Boston and Maine inspired bluebird scheme that has has some historic relevance to a small portion of surving B&M trackage operated by the road though most of the line is comprised of the surviving south end of the former Boston and Albany Ware River branch that reached north from here to Winchendon.

It's hard work for those little pigs to stack those little jars.

Hi everyone,
I have returned from my time in Kenya and it was a rich and productive time in terms of photography. I'm currently going through thousands of images and will be posting a wide range over time.
For now, I'll leave you with a painted turtle captured earlier this summer.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Four times a year, at the end of each quarter, the notebooks are collected and graded. Of course I want to see everthing --- class notes, vocabulary sheets, cultural info, verb info, tape recorded practice sheets --- everthing completed and in the specified order. Now is that asking too much?
It takes a while to grade the notebooks, but it is worth the time and effort, and I feel good knowing that, when the students leave me, they have a great "resource of information" to use in future Spanish classes.
If you are watching this, that means that you like photography, but it doesn't mean that it is your main activity.
Probably it would be an intrusion to your intimacy, but I would like to know what is it that you do besides photography (work wise) if you don't mind of course I'm my case I own some language schools in Japan and photography is the way that I can release my pressure...how about you?
