High tide this afternoon. It was too cool for short sleeves, and too warm for a jacket. The weather looked okay to the east, and stormy to the west. Change in the air.
Changes in the forest Bracken as Autumn draws on, gradually turning from Green to rich Orange Brown, the colours enhanced by the recent torrential rainfall.
Life has roads.. paths.. and detours.. daily. Every single one of these are new changes, opportunities and outcomes. Every decision that you make is a new possibility.. and nobody ever really KNOWS what the outcome of that path will be.
...What could look like a long clear straight away path.. could instantly become blocked by a fallen tree or a big pothole.. or any other unforeseen obstacle.. that wasn't there before, but ... but THAT'S LIFE, ISN'T IT??!
If you really get into it.. and really think about it, it's kind of scary for some.. exciting for others. But then some of us believe that all of those paths/roads that we take were already chosen for us ((destiny)) & although we may THINK that we're making a decision.. it was already written for us to do so..
What do I believe??
Hmm.. I'm not sure. Probably a little bit of both?? LOL believe me, I have given this subject A LOT of thought! And, my answer.. is STILL UNSURE!
However, whatever you believe.. remember that each decision you make..every path or road that you decide to take.. can ultimately change your future.. (even the smaller paths & detours). Any little pothole in the road that you didn't see coming could cause your tire to blow out.. and you might have to sit on the side of the road "waiting for AAA" or taking less time to: "change your own tire"..
But always remember.. these decisions are important.. no matter how small.
When I am making big decisions, personally I choose to pray about them.. I ask God to help me make the right decision..
But all of us are different.. Some of us are more impulsive than others, or more impatient.
But no matter what, no matter which road we take..
All of us have the SAME THING IN COMMON: We all have choices.
..& We all hope that we make the right one.

Just some thoughts...
I hope that you all have a beautiful Tuesday! I hope that all of your days go nicely and you are healthy, happy & as stress free as possible!
I just got home from physical therapy and I have an important zoom appointment in a little while. My physical therapist did such a fantastic job on me today.. she did this new massage technique on my neck and upper back that I have never seen before.. and it was amazing. She pulled out these long metal things that looked almost like knives (kind of intimidating when you see them!) But she explained how they're smooth and won't hurt me, but they help her to reach deep into my very tight muscles to loosen them without tiring herself out quickly or hurting her self. She did let me know that I will probably bruise on my neck (which I did), but it's just 'the bad stuff coming out' or getting better.. because she actually was able to reach the worst part of the issue.
I am so grateful & thanked her probably 10 times !! I feel so great.. and I go back again Thursday morning to have this done again. It works so GOOD & my neck and upper back currently feel amazing!
..ALSO, I told her how on my way in how I had a migraine (I haven't had one in about 1 1/2 years), but when I do get them I cannot see. I took ibprofen and closed my eyes and rubbed my temples before I went inside and I was starting to feel better. (PT helped that 1000% it went away immediately, thank GOD!) but I also explained to her that the night before while I was at work that I lifted a few big trays of meat on a couple occasions.. (probably between 20-60 lbs each).. Even though my co-workers don't let me .. and try to do it all for me.. on a few occasions I had to. She was happy to hear that.. because she wants me to TRY to lift and see how it works for me.. She explained that she would much rather me practice lifting things at work, NOW (while I'm seeing her in physical therapy at least twice a week).. that way we can SEE how it affects me and how I feel.. and if anything, PT will help me if it hurts me at all.. and then she'd tell me NOT to. I was happy to hear that.. because I don't want to be considered useless because of this injury. I don't want to be a burden at my job.. or an inconvenience. So, I'm glad she suggested it.
Anyhoo, I feel great! And I'm SO GRATEFUL!

Again, I hope that you all have a fantastic day! Take care of yourselves! Stay safe & healthy & I look forward to seeing all of your new photos! Keep em' coming! I always enjoy to view your photography, guys!
Spent a couple of hours in the Beeches yesterday morning to check on the colour. There is now a definite change on the way especially at the very tops of the tree canopy and trees on the periphery. There was also that lovely damp earthy smell that you tend to get in the Autumn months and certainly more fungi around than previous years. Looking forward to showing around my first 1-2-1 workshop client next week!
Clearly this one is from a few weeks ago. I hadn't gotten to photograph one shedding his velvet before. The other two that were with this guy hadn't even started yet.
What can I say? Let the people who look at this draw their own conclusions and make their comments. I spotted this while at the cemetery where my father-in-law is buried in Kent, Ohio.
I went out hoping to get a sunset picture. But suddenly all this cloud just come in and covered the sun. Was quite a dramatic sky still.

All change. The end of the road for the 11? A change of direction? A refuelling stop? The start of a new and long journey? Get on the bus, Gus?

“Days passed by, weeks passed by, months passed by, years passed by. She became that beautiful girl she was on the inside. She carried magic secrets in her eyes and her smile could light up anyone’s day. And you know … sometimes you just need someone to remind you who you really are.” – fragment from my personal diary, one year ago.
We are humans, we change. But sometimes, we come back.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change
ourselves.

At each end of the year the geese spend some time here preparing or recovering from their long migration flights. It starts with just a few pairs and ends up with beautiful squadrons in formations almost from horizon to horizon. Taken just after sunrise the early golden light was illuminating the birds from below which created a nice tone.
i'm thinking about that saying...... change being the only thing you can count on not changing. i have certainly learned over the last many years that no matter how much we think we are in control, we never really are.
it's an illusion.
but what i can control is how much i love, how much i give, and the intentions by which i do those things. that can't be taken away from me.
so this is me. trying to be fluid. still struggling for words. but adapting to big change, not fighting it. yielding. healing. connecting to source. and being open to what awaits me, trusting that it will be exactly what is needed for the evolution of my soul.
and i'm finding peace in that.
A pair of Norfolk Southern 4-axle EMDs roll an eastbound underneath the now-removed NYC signals at CP 505 a few years ago. NS GP40-2 3067 used to zip through here in charge of Conrail Van trains as the 3399.
The old speedster has been displaced on the hot trains by newer stuff, but even downgraded, the GP40-2 was still looking good.

not only has the weather changed, rain is forecast for the next few days. Flickr has also changed, I can't find somethings, but I will get used to it :)
Katsushika Hokusai (?; Edo, October or November 1760 - Edo, 10 May 1849) Sekiya village on the Sumida River (1830-31) - Museum of Fine Arts in Boston - exhibition “Hokusai, Hiroshige, Hasui. Journey to changing Japan ”Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin
In una carriera lunga più di sessant'anni Hokusai esplorò diverse forme d'arte cimentandosi nella produzione di stampe a soggetto teatrale, fogli augurali a circolazione privata (i surimono), libri gialli, illustrazioni di romanzi popolari, manuali didattici e serie di xilografie profondamente influenzate dalla pittura occidentale e cinese. Conosciuto principalmente per le sue opere in stile ukiyo-e, rimase tuttavia attivo nel campo pittorico come in quello grafico, studiando di volta in volta stili diversi ma mantenendo sempre alterata la sua indipendenza stilistica
Il suo lavoro più noto è la serie degli ukiyo-e, Trentasei vedute del Monte Fuji, creata tra il 1826 e il 1833. Consiste di 46 stampe (10 vennero aggiunte in seguito)
In a career spanning more than sixty years, Hokusai explored different forms of art by engaging in the production of theatrical prints, greeting cards with private circulation (the surimono), detective books, illustrations of popular novels, instructional manuals and series of woodcuts deeply influenced by Western and Chinese painting. Known mainly for his works in ukiyo-e style, he remained active in the pictorial as well as in the graphic field, studying different styles from time to time but always maintaining his stylistic independence altered
His best-known work is the ukiyo-e series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, created between 1826 and 1833. It consists of 46 prints (10 were added later)
C501 heads west and passes under the last C&O installed signal bridges remaining. However, now that CSX has removed one track through here, one has to wonder how long that will last.

Mount Albion Conservation Area, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I have always loved the colours that happen to this field in late summer, and have taken many photos in this same location. Development has overtaken this area. To the left and right of this image is now industrial land.
The crew of 6G54 undergo a crew change to ensure the correct driver is available on the correct route. 66783 making its way from Toton to Northenden Junction with a load of finishing ballast briefly pauses for a driver with Hope Valley knowledge to take over.
Oh my goodness, this picture was exactly what I needed to create to feel peaceful and happy and recharged. Ever feel that way? Here is how it was created, with a blog post + BTS video
