91107 captured climbing past Holloway with 1D09, the 1003 King's Cross to Leeds. A return visit to this spot to get the train and location better lit.
Half a dozen TC&W Geeps lead the "Saint Paul" Turn through Nicollet Island on their way back west after interchanging with CPKC at Humboldt. Those leaves must have a lot of willpower to make it this late into November without changing colors.

After a long 3 month drought of not getting out in the wilderness I finally was able to enjoy some of the beauty of Kentucky a couple weekends ago! Heading out with good friend Adam Thompson we headed down to Laurel County to check out some arches and waterfalls! Rain was in the forecast and somehow the weatherpeople got things right. It nearly rained the whole day. I had no worries though, after not being out for so long I could care less and my soaking wet cloths showed it. Though we only visited one waterfall, we did end up documenting 25 arches. One arch location had 10 arches and 4 windows, what a geological wonder! Back to the waterfall though, it felt sooo good to spend some quality time with one! Dog Branch School Falls is always an old favorite to stop by, and it was looking great on this day in the fog and rain!
The kestrel was searching the dunes for a meal dropping down several times to search the ground and returning to the higher viewpoints for another look around It didn't seem to be bothered that I was there after landing very close to me on one occasion even though I had my camera and monopod.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
...actually they, being Slate-colored Juncos (Junco hyemalis hyemalis), have been back for a while. They returned in mid-October like they usually do, but it wasn't until the first snowfall two weeks ago that I got to take a few pics of some.
Every year a group of these Juncos spends winter with us in and around the yard. Each year the number of birds varies. This year there are a lot fewer (2 dozen maybe) than last winter where around 75 or so spent winter with us. And the fact these Juncos spend winters in such cold climes has earned them the nickname "snowbirds".
Just two pics today, the above male and a female in the comment section.
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photo in the comment section. Even better, scroll to it by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to the pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find some text describing this cute little bird.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and a most pleasant weekend.

This area of the Bear Lake Valley always seems prehistoric to me. The hills rise abruptly from the valley floor along an earthquake fault and storms seem to bypass this flat so that it is often nearly snow-free in winter and dry in summer. Even so, snow and ice accumulate on the road surfaces causing very slick driving conditions. Snow will soon be very deep in the hills and deer will migrate to this area where they can find food where browsing is easier.
In some pristine early afternoon light, southbound Q241-24 rolls under the B&O signal bridge at North Cairo behind a four banger of matching CSX EMDs. Leading the way is SD50 #8533, followed by SD40-3 rebuild #4041 and two other SD50s. I couldn't think of a better way to break my month long Flickr hiatus than with this, especially at a time where getting solid EMD lashups is exceedingly rare.
I'm very sorry for the inactivity the last weeks. A toothing baby, Christmas preparations, making photo calendars for 2024 and a lot of other things kept me very busy lately.
And there is no better way to come back here with one of my signature photos from the local woods.
I will catch up with your latest posts in the coming days.

I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!
We have a small backyard. I would even call it tiny. I've been for the last four years trying to convert it into my little refuge, built around existing trees, shrubs and hardscape. I've been growing a lot of things in pots, and finding items at resale shops. Many of the plants I have were found as discards, or offered to me by kind neighbors. The image on the left shows a dark corner that I am calling the "fern garden." In addition to the canopy provided by young maple, the space is dominated by a rhododendron and bordered by two neighboring fences. It's dark in there and I have been adding native PNW ferns and other forest floor plants, like wild ginger, columbine and oxalis. I've also scrounged some nice larger lava rocks to add to the landscape. There have been some failures. The patio is dominated by small trees in pots. Some may find their way into the ground, but space, both in back and out front is limited.
The images were taken in the summer of 2022, before we lost Wesley (in November).

Hamburg. In the immediate vicinity of St. Michael's, we can discover a very rare example of timber-framed houses of the 17th century ("Krameramtsstuben"), originally homes for the widows of the merchants' guild. Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 50/2.8.
One of the many things I love about Hong Kong is how near the hiking trails are - it is usually enough to take the metro and go hiking. Peaks are not particularly high, the one here called Ma On Shan is 702m, but are often steep and climbs start basically at the sea level, so it's fun. This photo is taken from the top of The Hunch Backs - to get there you have to climb a very narrow and steep (660m altitude difference over 2km of hike) trail which is terrific.

Along with a few other walkers along the Kennet and Avon Canal recently, we stopped to watch the crew of this narrow boat try to turn it around. Quite a bit of difference to a three point turn in a car!
I thought at one stage they were not going to make it, but persistence pays and eventually it ended up facing the desired direction. Provided some unexpected entertainment to an unwanted audience!

this year I will try to choose one photo a day for this pseudo-project, no matter the motive, style, colour or technique. encouraging myself to shoot everyday, even if I can't go outside.
