This Yellow-rumped warbler was seen in the Countrywood/Bancroft neighborhood of Walnut Creek, California.
GP9 127 puffs a bit of smoke as it crawls down the Harrison branch just outside of Harrison on its way back toward Sappington and eventually Logan.
The former PRR built Silver Lake Viaduct in Pittsburgh's Larimer neighborhood is a prominent fixture showcasing a bygone era of masonry skills. Seeing and photographing a train across this bridge had personally been one of my most sought after photos to get. On the morning of March 7th, I finally was able to accomplish that when the Norfolk Southern shoved a unit frac sand train down this on again, off again used piece of railroad to the AVR interchange near the Allegheny River. Train movements across this viaduct prior to the fracking sand boom were extraordinarily rare, and movements across the Brilliant Branch in whole were also.
When commuter train traffic was still a regular thing as late as the 1960's the Brilliant Branch stood 4 tracks wide and featured a flyover ramp over the Pittsburgh mainline in nearby Homewood, being utilized by commuter trains and freight traffic bypassing the busy Penn Station at downtown Pittsburgh. Commuter traffic ended in the early 1960’s and the flyover ramps were removed. In 2025 the branch line which once played a critical role in keeping the railroads fluidity at its peak is down to a singular track and a wye at the junction of the Pittsburgh mainline. The branch has found use in more recent years, trail activists along with the City of Pittsburgh's green initiatives have pushed to turn this into a bike trail to which they have succeeded into accomplishing. At sometime this year during the warmer weather months this rail line will be removed for yet another hiking/biking trail connecting from nowhere to nowhere.
This is another capture of my "Old man olive tree"... definitively, "he" is one of my favorite subjects, dealing about flora!
The title, on the other hands, is the third of the "through" series, even if I didn't plan to start a series! ;-)
Anyway, I hope that you will like the result, dear friends.
Have a nice and Happy CrAzY Tuesday! ;-)

Went up to Spring Grove Ponds as it was a misty murky morning , strangely though even with the water there it was not so misty !!
However , still grabbed a few shots while there and the bare trees were reflecting so well on the still water and in this shot made a lead in to the opposite bank where a few anglers were trying their luck - not much happening it seemed as I walked around the pond and I past them , not biting apparently one said .
The other thing to note is that at this time of the year the reeds at the water's edge have lost any colour as they wilt away .
As you can see , the building in the distance has only the slightest hint of any mist .
Beautiful ancient oaks at Brocton Coppice, Cannock Chase Forest. Planted for King Henry VIII to hunt deer.... now making patterns in the sky.
