Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...
because our property backs onto a park, we have a lot of wildlife that wanders into our yard or burrows under our fence.
This shot is a first for me ( full manual mode at dusk). I normally shoot in aperture priority and lately thought about trying to shoot in full manual like many pro wildlife photographers recommend.
So tonight, about 30 minutes before sunset I went out into our yard and found this rabbit. I started at 800 iso, then 1600 iso and finished with 3200 iso.
------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Because of the remote nature of the Karrak Lake field camp, wee used a Single Otter aircraft on skied/wheels to initially set it up in the spring. All our gear was brought in for the summer season which in this case lasted for 53 days. When they dismantled the camp the gear was removed using a float plane.
One thing you had to realize that you needed to plan so that you had everything you could possibly need as there was no going out to the local store to pick up something.
We arrived at the camp site in late April when there was still snow on the ground and picked up in late June when the river was open and they could land a float plane to pick us up.
We did have radio communication in case of emergency.
It was an interesting time and you learned to spend your time well so there was no time to get bored. We had 24 hours of daylight which would enable you to go photograph late in the evening.
May/June, 1976.

✦ The Nova Dress by Just BECAUSE ✦
The Nova Dress is more than attire—it is a symphony of aesthetic finesse and elegance. Like a violin tuned to perfection, it resonates with harmony and poise, each detail striking the perfect note. The sweetheart neckline opens softly, like the first bow against strings, while off-shoulder lace sleeves cascade with the grace of a lingering melody. Its fitted silhouette builds momentum like a crescendo, cinching the waist and flowing into a playful lace hem that leaves an echo long after you’ve passed.
✧ The Score of Style ✧
Every element is composed with precision: the delicate bow at the chest ties together innocence and allure, while scalloped lace edges soften the boldness of its modern cut. The included high heels complete the orchestration, a finale that ensures the look remains seamless from head to toe.
✧ Embroidery & Renaissance Origins ✧
The fabric hums with the intricate acanthus leaf motif, drawn from the opulent tradition of the Italian Renaissance. First played in the courts of Venice and Florence, these curling foliate scrolls became the favored ornament of nobility, a visual counterpart to the music of lutes and violins filling candlelit halls. Just BECAUSE revives this motif in modern form, digitally embroidered with PBR technology—each highlighted curve flourishes like notes suspended in air.

✨ The Nova Dress is a composition of elegance—every stitch, every shimmer, every lace flourish performing in concert, like a violin that never misses its note. ✨
Here's this week's "Steam Sunday" offering a day late....because well I was a little distracted yesterday!
This photo should need no introduction given the massive amount of coverage of this event not just in the railfan community but in mass media and by the general public writ large. This is truly, without hyperbole, the railfan event of a generation and perhaps THE event of our lifetime. Never in any of my wildest dreams would I have believed a Union Pacific Big Boy would be under steam traveling far off "home rails" touring the eastern half of the nation. But here we are....the biggest on the biggest.....the largest steam locomotive in the world ever designed and built by the hand of man steaming across the largest concrete railroad bridge on the planet. This view looks down from Spencer Hill Road as UP 4014 accompanied by diesels from UP and host road Norfolk Southern both numbered 1776 steams south 240 ft above the valley of Tunkhannock Creek at about MP 653.2 on modern day NS' Sunbury Sub mainline.
As a tribute the semiquicentennial the Union Pacifc 4014 embarked on a coast to coast tour that saw it steam from Cheyenne on March 29th and travel to California to visit Milepost 0 denoting the start of the Central Pacific Railroad in Sacramento. It returned to Cheyenne on April 24th for a month before starting east on this much anticipated and unprecedented journey on May 25th. 4014 will celebrate the 4th of July in Philadelphia before starting back west ultimately scheduled to return home on July 29th! The 1.2 million pound 4-8-8-4 rolled off the erecting floor of the American Locomotive Company in Schenectady, NY in Dec. 1941 and went cold on July 21, 1959 before returning to steam and moving again under its own power on May 1, 2019.

This is one of those legendary places in railroading everyone should see at least once for themselves. It truly is breathtaking and hard to wrap your head around when you see it for the first time. I've photographed trains in many places where they are dwarfed by the environment. In all those other cases it is nature that humbles the train be it towering mountains, or mighty rivers, or the vastness of the desert southwest but not here. Here it is the work of man that dwarfs the train....even one this big.....in the form of Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct...the lagest concrete railroad bridge in the world.
Built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad between 1912 and 1915 as part of the railroad's Nicholson Cutoff project which as a new 39.6 mile alignment between Clarks Summit, PA and Hallstead, PA that shortened the line by 3.6 miles but more importantly reduced the gradient and 2400 degrees of curvature for the massive amount of freight traffic (much of which was anthracite coal) flooding the line. The cutoff also included the construction of a 3600 ft tunnel and the shorter but no less impressive Martins Creek Viaduct in a similar concrete arch style. The DL&W was a pioneer in concrete construction using the material for depots and towers and had built two smaller but concrete arch bridges over Paulins Kill and the Delaware River five years earlier as part of its Lackawanna cut off project.

www.worldrecordacademy.org/2022/05/worlds-largest-concret...
This route remained important and busy even after the Lackawanna's 1960 merger with the Erie. However after Erie-Lackawanna was folded into Conrail in 1976 the big blue government railroad had little use for the line and in 1980 sold it to the Delaware and Hudson between Binghamton and Scranton so they could replace and abandon their challenging Penn Division over Ararat Summit. The D&H continued to operate the line which during the Guilford years was a link in the 752 mile long Freight Main Line reaching from Mattawamkeag, Maine to Kase Tower in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Guilford spun the D&H off into bankruptcy in 1988 and Canadian Pacific purchased the road in 1991 continuing to send up to a dozen trains a day over this route. Finally in 2015 CP sold all of the former D&H south of Mohawk Yard in Schenectady, NY to Norfolk Southern which continues to operate it a decade later, though these days little more than one giant train in each direction normally travels via this now single tracked route.

🌸 The Opal Dress – By Just BECAUSE 🌸
There are moments in fashion when a garment transcends clothing and becomes an atmosphere—an aura that lingers like perfume, unforgettable and intimate. The Opal Outfit by Just BECAUSE is precisely that moment.
Crafted in layers of delicate lace over a sculpted inner slip, Opal is both daring and demure. Its silhouette recalls the elegance of mid-century cocktail dresses while embracing the freedom of modern sensuality. With each step, the floral lace tracery whispers of Parisian salons, moonlit terraces, and secrets shared behind silk fans.
✨ Styling & Cut
The ensemble pairs a form-hugging lace mini with optional matching lace boots—designed for those who love cohesion without restraint. The dress moves like a second skin, yet its translucent overlays invite the eye to linger, balancing intrigue with refinement. The plunging neckline and high hemline ensure your entrance is nothing less than breathtaking.
✨ HUD & PBR Innovation
Opal is brought to life exclusively in PBR materials, giving the lace a luminous realism—soft light dances across its threads, making every weave and shimmer feel tangible. The included HUD lets you toggle the inner slip and outer lace dress independently, offering endless versatility. Play with tints to create ethereal pastels or bold jewel tones—Opal adapts to your mood as effortlessly as you do.

💫 Slip into Opal, and you slip into a world where every glance lingers a little longer, and every evening feels like destiny.
Because of its beauty the purple gallinule is a standout in marshes and wetlands where it usually inhabits. It is often seen rummaging through the edges of dense vegetation, swimming like a duck or walking on water. Its extra long toes, seen in the photo, allow it to walk on top of floating items such as lilly pads, leaves, etc.
This photo was taken in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida.
Bubble bath as a special treat for the Wood Pigeons today.
We're here: Soap
Disclaimer: No pigeon got soap in it's eyes. Or anywhere else. I filled the birdbath with sunflower seeds :-) The soap came later.

She lifts her collar against the harbor air, chin angled toward something just out of frame. Behind her, a ferry slides across the water—routine, dependable, already committed to its route.
She is not.
Some people move because they must.
Others wait, measuring distance, rehearsing who they will be when the crossing finally comes.
because of the strong sunlight, i get a strainge backlight, it's gives a special effect of warm colors
It's bloody cold and gray outside and I haven't seen a wild butterfly in six months. So enjoy!

I NEVER LEAVE MY APPEARANCE TO CHANCE - because the world notices the woman who chooses herself, deliberately, beautifully, unapologetically ✨
This is where I begin - slipping into the Cara Outfit by Just Because - a piece that doesn’t simply dress me, it defines me 💫
The silhouette is sculpted with intention - a one-shoulder composition that draws the eye upward before cascading into a sleek, elongated line that hugs every contour with quiet authority The cut is daring yet refined - a precision high slit that reveals just enough, balanced by the clean asymmetry of the neckline. There’s an architectural discipline to it - controlled, elegant - like a perfectly resolved design where nothing is excessive and everything belongs.
And then - the detail 🌹
A whisper of textured feathering - soft, fluid, almost alive - tracing along the body like movement captured in time. It transforms the garment from form into experience. Each step I take feels choreographed, as if the dress responds to me rather than the other way around.
This is where sophistication becomes instinct ✨
Rendered in advanced PBR - the fabric holds light the way fine silk does in the real world - absorbing, reflecting, and shifting with nuance 💎 Under ambient glow or evening shadow, the surface reveals depth - subtle sheen, rich tonal layering, and a realism that feels almost tactile.
The palette is curated - from deep noir to intoxicating wine tones 🍷 to soft romantic blush 🌸 - each one engineered to complement mood, setting, and presence.
The heels follow suit - refined, minimal, yet striking 👠 - also PBR-enhanced with matching tonal options that elongate the leg and anchor the look with quiet confidence. Even the included panties - delicate, seamless - are designed with the same attention to finish and color harmony, ensuring the ensemble remains flawless from every angle 💖
Nothing is overlooked - because true elegance never is ✨

... and as Tom Ford once said -
“Dressing well is a form of good manners.”
I posted this photo because it reminded me of a children's TV programme about mischievious puppets called Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men who had a friend called Little Weed. Little Weed, who they called Ickle Weed, lived beside a flower pot behind the potting shed. Ben's favourite saying was 'Flobabdob'. Ickle Weed would warn Bill and Ben when the gardener was coming so that they could hide back in the flowerpots. The memory made me smile and wondered if I lifted the flower pot then maybe, just maybe.....
If you don't know about Bill and Ben there is more information here: www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/443702/index.html

SPRING🌷
A Rhododendron park in Germany in Westerstede, Hobbie Park. I had a wonderful time there in 2014🌞
...because... ...we could have finished the road already in a nuclear end game of 2025. Or with the Almighty putting a full stop behind our history because He is thoroughly disgusted with us.
Those dweeb goblins who built underground homes 20 years ago already, are now gambling with us and our planet! Or are they just bluffing, building up on our collective psychosis? In order to crush our normal human reaction to their idiotic moves?
NOT MY PHOTOGRAPH, hence in the guest album.

🎄SNAPPY NEW YEAR 2026! 💸 📷😉
So called because its larvae are predators upon grasshopper eggs, this insect is a fly, not a bee. As an adult it is, however, a bee mimic, which may serve to deter some predators. I'll admit that the insect world is vast and confusing, and I may get it wrong as often as I get it right, so if anyone has a different opinion, please do not hesitate to correct my I.D. of this as Systoechus vulgaris.
It was resting briefly atop an unopened poppy in my backyard garden. There are huge numbers of them present this week in my corner of the prairie. Fuzzy, furry, and sort of cute, it spent several minutes cleaning sticky pollen off its long proboscis. These flies are harmless; they don't bite or sting. They are always welcome in my garden.
