“Zen wants us to acquire an entirely new point of view whereby to look into the mysteries of life and the secrets of nature. This is because Zen has come to the definite conclusion that the ordinary logical process of reasoning is powerless to give final satisfaction to our deepest spiritual needs.”

A lot of times Jasper will outrun the ball, but a quick turn in a flurry of fur allows him to acquire the target and chomp. Good athlete.
Empire Sandy was one of 1,464 Empire ships built or acquired for war service by the British government. Built in England in 1943 as a deep sea tugboat, she was tasked with Royal Navy work and salvaging merchant ships damaged in the Battle of the Atlantic and other naval engagements during the Second World War. She served in the North Atlantic Ocean from Iceland to Sierra Leone, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal during the Second World War. (Wikipedia)

Mornings are brisk, and in this mountainous area, hunters are busy trying to acquire their winters meat before the snow descends down the mountains.
Others travel over this section of the Glenn Highway on their way to the big box stores in Anchorage and Wasilla, where they will secure the provisions to fill their pantries and freezers for winter.
No doubt about it - autumn is arriving in the high country.
This photo was taken at Eureka Summit - 3,287 feet elevation.
After acquiring the line as part of a massive selloff from CN, Watco had a good start to their version of the Agawa Canyon Tour Train. The color on the line was excellent for the passengers and everything seemed to go well for the railroad. On the second to the last day of the season, the train passes through Northland with some vibrant color showing through.
I acquired a Contax Sonnar 85mm lens recently and the first adapter to hand to attach it to my X-T1 happened to be a version with helicoid for variable close focusing. This has converted the lens into a telephoto macro with surprisingly good results.

Spotted this Great Egret at the arboretum this weekend. We decided to take a short trip for a change of scenery and it was a perfect sunny, winter's afternoon. And actually the first weekend of winter, so our timing could not have been better.
This Egret kept to the other side of the lake, hunting in the overgrown, marshy area making it difficult to get any clear shots. At one point it flew way to the other end of the lake but was finally out in the open.
Alas, it was also jut a tad bit too far away but I couldn't resist trying to get some shots. As they say, target acquired for both the Egret and me.
Cedar Waxwings
Radnor Lake, Nashville, Tennessee
A flock of Waxwings were jumping on and off branches in pursuit of insects that were flying around. The Waxwing in front is pouncing towards a bug that appears as a black speck on the left.
A brightly coloured bird, the golden-browed chlorophonia is distinctive within its range. The male is bright green above and yellow below, with a wide golden-yellow eyebrow stripe and a violet-blue cap. It has a narrow blue eye ring and a thin blue line extending from its nape to its breast. The female is similar, but without the golden brown and yellow breast; these are both replaced with green. They average 13 cm (5.1 in) in length.
Recently acquired LSRC SD70Ms 6431 and 6432 are doing every bit of 25mph with an impressive 143 car Y119 on the drawbar. While not the inaugural run of these two, this was the first daylight run they've had there was quite a crowd on hand to see this train. Rolling by the depot at North Clio, the train is graced with some wonderful evening sunlight as they head for Saginaw with traffic for the HESR and points north.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. R_3430

With a newly acquired pannier bag that came padded enough to inspire confidence, I was finally able to re-acquaint 'best' camera with bike, and go take a few snaps in the way I was more accustomed to doing some 45 odd years ago before I owned a car. Strange that it took a pandemic lockdown to finally get me to remake that connection.
On its first outing (and mine too for a couple of months) I kept reasonably local and headed down to Millers Bridge, just north of Acton Bridge, to bag this shot of GBRf Shed 66771 'Amanda' hauling the Saturdays-only 7.40am Liverpool Biomass Terminal - Drax (6E09).
Hopefully more tales to follow over the coming weeks!

Texel acquired a lighthouse in 1864, following many years of campaigning by Texel civil-law notary Kikkert. The seas around the island were so dangerous that many ships sank before the lighthouse was finally built. You can learn more about this in a brief exhibition in the lighthouse.
During the Second World War, the lighthouse was the site of a major part of the action of the Georgian Rebellion, or Russian War; in fact, the bullet holes are still visible in the walls of the tower.

Red-Shouldered Hawk ~ (Buteo Lineautus)
A young Red-Shouldered Hawk leaps from its perch and dives to attack prey that it has spotted on the ground.
Thanks for visiting!
Another shot taken during the storm with the blue clouds. Taken at Panama City Beach, FL. For all of us who are God's remember whenever we are tempted, He always provides a way out, He is a guiding Light in our lives! Thanks for stopping by and God Bless you!!
Three years after Union Pacific acquired Southern Pacific, a manifest rolls south down the Shasta Route. The train is highballing Hotlum siding, named for a glacier up on Mt. Shasta. It is a fine Saturday afternoon in Siskiyou County, California on fall 1999's first weekend.
Aside from the General Electric locomotive leading the train, there are no visual clues that The Friendly Espee is not still lord of the property. Generally, SP did not operate GE's north of Roseville. However, big changes will be coming soon, making this a day to savor.

DB have acquired a small fleet of Stadler “Eurodual“ Class 159 locos, a welcome sight passing through the Maintal to break up the endless procession of TRAXX locos.
No.159 240 is pictured passing Thüngersheim (between Würzburg and Gemünden am Main) with a train of tanks from Burghausen-Wackerwerk to Rotterdam Botlek in the Netherlands - a regular duty for the class as the train can continue through unelectrified areas in Germany without having to change locos.
After overextending themselves acquiring Milwaukee Road, Soo Line established a wholly-owned division called Lake States Transportation Division on February 10, 1986, to operate its mostly former Soo Line trackage in Wisconsin and prepare it for sale. With this move, older locomotives and some leased power began to be much more common on these lines. On March 22, 1987, a southbound Soo Line (Lake States) freight climbs to the top of Byron Hill at Byron, Wisconsin, powered by two Soo EMD GP9s and a leased Conrail EMD GP38.
