Normally, BNSF's Longmont Switch power has been a pair of SD70MACs. However, the crew was notified by the trainmaster to swap power with the Buck Local as the Buck Local needed their SD70MACs to bring cars up from Denver later in the day. So for one day, ex-Burlington Northern GP39-2 No. 2700 and BNSF GP39-3 No. 2618 can be seen powering the Longmont Switch north up Atwood Street in Longmont, Colorado on February 18, 2021
The last several days have been ones of significant change in the countryside around our town. Just last week, this bean field was a dark green; this morning, it shows the change of the season as it has yellowed and will soon begin the drying process that will result in harvest next month.
Many trees are already showing reds, yellows, and golds as they begin the ever-hastening lurch toward full fall colors.
The habits of wildlife are in full change mode as well. Deer are largely absent as they can read in the Star Tribune that bow season starts this Saturday, followed by other opportunities for them to be shot by two-legged pursuers.
Waterfowl are doing practice runs for migration as they fly high overhead from one body of water to another. Small songbirds are gorging themselves on seeds and berries as they load up for the trip south.
I even noted an old photographer headed to Shalom, our great thrift store, to update his autumn wardrobe, where he will splurge and buy the latest warm fashions for $3 each, which will look an awful lot like his last year's fashion.
If you like the change of seasons in Minnesota, this is a good time. If you find yourself dreading the coming winter, I already like you.

Nature changes now. For some beings it is cold, while some enjoy this low temperatures and moist environments. We are all important, somehow...

Hi, I am the genetic basis of complex human behaviour, Corban.
Welcome one and all to the magnificent mysterious and often fantastical tour of the mind belonging to me... Today I am wanting to talk a little about change, and as this is a place for me to talk about, what ever I want... because it is my blog, and not yours... this is what we will be rambling around this afternoon.
I have realized recently that no matter how much you may want to please other people, eventually changing who you are will leave you miserable and ultimately hurt other people...Find the full rambles and credits @ Corbans Cabinet of Curiosities
Throughout millennia evil used to hide its own existence as a defense strategy. Now there is a Change:
Evil publicly manifests its scheme in broad daylight now, right in front of everyone’s face!

Changement
Pendant des millénaires, le mal cachait sa propre existence comme stratégie de défense. Maintenant, il y a un changement :
Le mal manifeste publiquement son schéma en plein jour maintenant, juste devant le visage de tout le monde !
Consequences in the Netherlands It is also getting warmer in the Netherlands and the sea level is rising. The main consequences of climate change for the Netherlands: The weather is becoming more extreme: more heavy showers, more heat waves. There is a greater risk of flooding: the rivers and sewers are no longer able to drain the water properly during heavy rainfall. Nature in the Netherlands is changing: species that originally come from warmer areas, feel more and more at home in the Netherlands. Well-known examples are the oak processionary caterpillar, the small hermit crab, certain tick species and the "hay fever plant" Ambrosia. Another effect is that spring starts earlier: plants bloom earlier, trees sprout earlier, insects appear earlier and birds breed earlier in the year. This can cause problems, for example for migratory birds that missed the insect peak upon arrival in the Netherlands and cannot find enough food. Species that cannot adapt quickly enough to changing circumstances run the risk of disappearing. There are also advantages: we can grow other vegetable and plant species because they will do better in the Netherlands. Winters are getting milder; it will freeze less often. It is getting wetter: in the spring, autumn and winter there is more rainfall. Summers are getting drier and hotter. There are more summer and tropical days. In the Netherlands, the consequences of climate change can probably be controlled. We can strengthen dikes and dunes and create storage areas along rivers for extra river water. You can also help to limit waterlogging by applying fewer tiles and more greenery in your garden. Rainwater can then sink into the soil, so that the sewer is less overloaded (so: less flooded basements and streets).
That special day.
you remember it.
22-12-2007, there was frozen fog on the trees and a blue sky. It was just a few hours. It was marvelous.
i love his hands (and then the feet). just last week i passed this very spot. a giant derrick is pulling up sand, deepening the channel. that sense of depth when one is swimming. it changes everything.
Welcome to my word for 2019. How and what are you going to change this year? Your style, attitude, bad habits? Be the change you want to see in the world.

Have you ever lost or found loose pocket change under couch cushions?
This American Tree Sparrow was a first-of-season sighting for me. In our area, typically they arrive in the autumn soon after their similar-looking cousins, the Chipping Sparrows, disappear on their southerly migration.
Our lack of stewardship with our earth is obvious through the huge climate changes. Yet it seems that we still have not learned how to nurture our world rather than abuse it. So my message is let's take heed how nature is reacting and if we don't make the change we will lose!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Taken at the beginning of February 2015. As you can see it was a sledging evening by moonlight. I turned up with my son and soon realised I should have brought my camera. Half a hour later I was back - 6 portrait shots at f/16 and roughly 77s each - not to mention cold hands. It was a little breezy too, so image is not as sharp as I would have liked. Mountains L to R: Yr Elen, Carnedd Dafydd, Pen yr Ole Wen, The Glyders, Y Garn, Foel Goch and Carnedd y Ffiliast.
a Maned Forest Lizard (Bronchocela jubata). Many lizards, not just chameleons have the ability to change colour to match their surrounds. I was lucky enough to find this forest lizard do just that as we watched; awesome. Sepilok, Sabah.
Only 3 minutes between the two shots

Shall be posting an Image a day for the next year, 365 (or 366 if it is a Leap year...not checked!!).
The Format will be different...some images have been shown before, some are new...... At the moment I am now starting a "New" Project.....Well it is "New" for me, although it has been done before by many, many People too!!!.
I will follow the direction I have chosen but there is plenty of room for me to chop and change at a later date...I guess it depends how I feel about it at a later date.
This Project will now give me the time to work with other ideas I am playing with. There will still be months in which I post other pics too from themes I have worked with in the past......I have just made a little more time and space available to me.
So hope you like the changes.......
Looks like lots of evergreen trees along the riverside but, of course, there are many that show the seasonal change more than others!

There's nothing constant in the world,
all ebb and flow, and every shape that's born
bears in its womb the seeds of change.

Have a GREAT time my friends!!!
Took this at Raglan, the sun had just gone done. Really the title relates to watching the day change to night but also I got made redundant (due to finish in June, company closing also) a few months ago and have found a new job so big exciting changes ahead for me and a major relief!
This image is a big thanks to Sonja who has sent me some encouraging words whilst I was looking for work-cheers-no pink sorry though-hope its OK :-)
