Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.

I wonder how this juvenile Red-winged Blackbird is doing, whether that growth on its beak was a symptom of something wrong with it or not.

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.

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.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

Have you ever lost or found loose pocket change under couch cushions?
There is one technique in Wildlife Photography that for me can truly transform and improve a person images. I used this technique to capture an image of this Merlin sitting on its prey along the road in front of my home a few weeks back. This technique allowed me to create what I think is wonderful image in a difficult scene. To learn more about this technique and my encounter with this Merlin check out my recent blog post.
Freightliner Celebrity 70020 rumbles along the Up Washwood Heath Goods Loop heading 4M55 the 08:32 Southampton to Lawley Street while 66155 stands on the Down Derby Goods awaiting a crew change working 6V92 the 10:32 Corby to Margam.
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.
Metra's MILW heritage unit leads a outbound train under the signals at Tower B12 in Franklin Park, IL. With a new relay case installed and construction equipment on site, the days of this signal bridge may be numbered.
Crew change - McAdam NB After chasing NBSR 907 down to McAdam we waited for CP41B at the US border. As soon as we got our photos there we raced them down to McAdam Station, which is over 100 years old! We were waiting for about 2 minutes when we heard the amazing horn from the EMD SD70ACu. I was expecting it to fly past the station but when I saw the head lights of CP 7019 I noticed that they were going very slow. It turns out that they were stopping for a crew change. So while they were just about stopped I re-aligned my shot and took my photo.
Did I mention I love slide film?

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
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.
The best time of the day and the best time of the year to visit this beach. Definitely no crowds at all!
Way back when my kids were wee little ones we'd be here more often. Sometimes the beach would be closed so that truckloads of sand (I think dredged from Waukegan Harbor but I'm not totally sure on this) could be dumped here to fill in the eroding shoreline. Because of the prevailing currents, this sand would most likely end up somewhere to the south (Waukegan Harbor???) again over the next few years. Not the best solution.
The fact that this many acres of undeveloped semi-natural lakeshore survives in the Chicago-Milwaukee megalopolis makes it a special place. So, over the past couple of years steps were taken with new research to try something different. If you are interested, this explains how it came about:

Also, this is an awesomely detailed presentation about lakeshore erosion at IBSP:

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
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
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 !
Looks like lots of evergreen trees along the riverside but, of course, there are many that show the seasonal change more than others!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This was made for my design class. We had to show change in something, i love music, i showed music. I like it a bit

I recently read a very well written Onlandscape article by Joe Cornish on photography and environmentalism. Many of my thoughts and concerns were echoed and rather poignantly one of my current projects is documenting the gradual destruction of local sea defences. I can't help but wonder if we are witnessing the beginning of something that humanity isn't remotely prepared for.
