FT-2 and Horizont

Hello Everyone,
Yesterday, I visited a local park's flower garden in early morning. Much to my horror, most of the flowers were black with frost! Although most of the hydrangeas were browning significantly, I found one with some remaining colour.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments! I LOVE hearing from you! Have a fantastic day and weekend ahead!

Guide Falls, near Burnie, northern Tasmania.
This was taken as the sun was sinking below the horizon, so I lost light very rapidly.
One of the interesting aspects of grave sites around Thailand is that many include pictures of the deceased, like the ones seen here at Wat Arun. Often names go forgotten and I thought it was a nice addition to a traditional grave that brought a sense of humanity to an otherwise cold faceless stone.
Everything on earth is borrowed....
There is no "Mine or Yours."....
There is only "Ours."....
Even time is borrowed.
We kill over a plot of land that
belongs only to our Mother Earth.
All you have is what you came with...
and what you will leave with....
Your Spirit.

Another one from Lake Wenatchee. I miss this place a lot.
Also this photo is the first one I edited after I discovered artificial grad filters in Lightroom. That would have been nice to know about months ago.
The fortunes of the paper mill town of Canton took a devastating turn with this evening's (3/6/23) announcement that Evergreen Packaging is to close its massive paper mill in town next quarter. The largest source of traffic on the Blue Ridge Southern and a hungry consumer of woodchips from throughout Tennessee and western North Carolina, the shockwaves from this closure bode poorly for the already dwindling rail scene around Asheville and its surroundings. While the show will go on for the BLU and for the town of Canton, things won't be what they once were when the smoke finally ceases from the century-old paper mill. In better times on MLK Day 2020, a T59 crew switches out cars at the east end of the yard adjacent to the Evergreen complex.
Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near I feel it dear,
But I am not afraid
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide
But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide
A Fine Frenzy - Borrowed Time
Didn't take a lot of pictures this past weekend while I was home. Too many other things and not enough time. I did manage a few indoor pictures of my sister's orchid. Her and my brother-in-law are off on their annual cruise, so my mom is house plant and fish sitting. I haven't touched my macro lens in a few months, felt the need, so I borrowed my sister's flower for an impromptu mini photo shoot. Now you get my title, "borrowed beauty..." Pretty dang clever, huh. ;^)
Thank you so much to the group♥We dream in colors borrowed from the sea ♥ for selecting my picture as their group cover. Such an honor ♥😊♪🙉
📌This meant a lot to me💎

At first
you were two shadows
moving separately—
one watching from the doorway,
one folded into the far corner
like a question.
I learned your different silences:
the cautious one
who counted every step,
the braver one
who blinked slowly
but would not come close.
I spoke in rituals instead of words—
two bowls placed gently,
water changed like a promise,
my hands resting open
on my knees
so they would mean no harm.
Days gathered softly.
One of you
claimed the chair beside me,
tail wrapped tight
around your own small courage.
The other
took longer—
a constellation of blue eyes
studying the map of my breathing.
Then, one evening,
as lamplight settled into fur,
trust arrived in pairs:
a weight on my lap,
a second warmth against my arm,
two quiet engines
beginning at once.
Your purring
braided the air between us,
a sound like thread
pulling three lives
into the same small circle.
Now you sleep
without keeping watch,
and I understand
that friendship with cats
is a room we build slowly—
bowl by bowl,
breath by breath—
until even fear
lies down
and closes its eyes.

#CN106 passes through Brockville with a decently long train, with two different Dash 8 variants hauling stacks for Montreal.
All in one shot - our eldest cat borrowed a blue blanket... :)
Posted for the "Happy Caturday" theme "Something old, borrowed or blue".

Approaching sundown at Sabang Beach in Baler, Aurora, Philippines. This beach faces east so we did not expect to get any good sunset shots here. But just as we were strolling along the baywalk before dusk on our second day here, we noticed that the setting sun had started to lend its colors to the opposite horizon. Time to bring out the cameras...
Simha borrowed this toy from one of my grandchildren. The grandchildren are all grown up (the youngest is 16, and the eldest is 22), and the toy was in my desk drawer. The cat found it and pulled it out!
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
For Macro Mondays - Speckled.
Borrowed from a plant in a friends garden. I'm not sure what the plant is and as our friends are away at present I can't ask. The leaf is 54 mm (just over 2 inches long) and was shot against a reflective surface.
Happy Macro Monday.
With two maroon SD9043MAC sisters awaiting delivery at Wales, are these nice recently washed blue CEFX MACs on borrowed time?
With a set up in mind, there was one problem I had: a lack of elevation. I had a couple choices, find a ladder that would let me get on top of the bungalow that would have been excellent, or, find a taller ladder that would not make my shot too shady. I opted for the second. Coming back light after dropping a grain train at Osmer, the GLC OSTN crosses the diamond at Durand just after 1 am. The ladder I found was returned from where it was borrowed, which may or may not have been from my paycheck provider.
Seems like Flickr is working decently today. We survived :)))
Happy weekend dear friends!
Just discovered this lady, enjoy!
Entranced by the golden yellow glow of the flowers the little people were tempted to brave the outside world. Dodging spiders, human feet and cats they had a marvellous adventure. (I'm lost in my imagination again ...)

Clinchfield’s US&S P-5 installations at S.E. Kermit work out their last days as also soon to be rebuilt CSXT 428 works south toward Kingsport Yard with M693-10. As of the date of this photo, there were new signal bases and conduit at both ends of the siding. “Progress” I guess…
In this case I borrowed an idea from @magda627, and made it my own. I plan on trying variations of this. It's always a learning process!
With an overhauled SD70MACE on the point, M252 knocks down the BC 33.1 intermediate at Dillsboro. While not part of last months cutovers, this signal already has a replacement mast standing next to it, with an anticipated cutover in October. The remaining stretch from Milan to Lawrenceburg is the last bastion of active B&O intermediate signals, as the Toledo Sub and most examples on short lines only include control points. With the fall of the remaining signals on the Indiana sub, B&O intermediates will be all but extinct.
NS 1066 finds itself on BISI for the second time this week, with engineer Ed wasting no time on the road.
This gap in the trees along the shore was created when the property owner cleared the lot and then ... nothing. Maybe one day they will build and I will no longer have one of my favourite views on my daily walks.
In winter, the winds off Huron cause the snow to blow across the road and form some serious drifts.
With Genesee & Wyoming's purchase of the Providence & Worcester, that railroads image is slowly being phased out. It still looks like old times here at Worcester, but for how much longer the 3902 and the sanding tower will continue to sport the independent colors and logo is anyone's guess. Unfortunately, this is one of the railroads I never paid much attention to, due to a combination of my work hours, and assuming (like most other people), that it would be around in the future to shoot when I got a chance. Change is around the corner already, with the first repainted P&W engine, B39-8 3906, resting inside the engine house, and the P&W sign on the engine house already replaced with a G&W one.
