when do you stop?
when do you call it a day?
there are funner things to chase... more alive things.
the fact that i've started asking might be the answer.
my problem is that i'm happy. relatively,...
and that is worrying. but the fact that I am worrying is a good thing,... i guess.
maybe i'll be happier,...
and my work will suffer,...
i apologize in advance if I ever post puppies running through fields under rainbows.
Built in 1961 as the Marine Plaza Tower, and through several bank mergers it is now known as Chase Tower. It is 22 stories and 288 feet tall, and is considered Milwaukee's first modern skyscraper.
My heart's chase begins as day ends
Streaking across the burning clouds
She hides behind ocean blue thunder heads
I'll find her in the purple fields of heaven
She flirts my anticipation higher
Until she escapes into the beautiful dull of dusk
But Sunset's pretty smile soon forgotten to
Midnight's sultry stare shimmering brilliant
Like diamond waterfalls scattering from
Elegant curves as she dances beautiful
Till Dawn rises spunky with orange energy
Burning away Midnight's cool lust
She turns the sky blue like laughter
As I anxiously await Sunset

UP engine #844 roared through the countryside this past Sunday and with my hubby behind the wheel of Blondie we chased it for 50 miles. I cannot begin to describe the thrill of hearing, seeing, smelling and FEELING the awesome power of this engine as it roared past me. This engine was built in 1944, weighs over 120 tons, is a 4-8-4 configuration and has the distinction of being the ONLY steam engine to NEVER be retired by a Class I railroad in North America. What a dream come true to see this baby.
This female cheetah at full speed chasing a springbok was photographed in the wild in the Kgalagadi. (The chase was unsuccessful.)
A pair of Gadwalls (Anas strepera) was chasing another male for a territory dispute between them. It was also a real fun for them as they continued the long flight over the whole wetland length for three rounds before coming to a land in water. Though from a distance I managed some snaps after removing my monopod. Landholding a giant tele is a real challenge to frame long sequences of shots. But you need to shot it hand-hold as you get full controls in the hands. Pics was taken from Santragachi, West Bengal, India.
This mamma's 'lings sprung the coop and were paddling left and right. Now where did they go? I already loaded one shot of her searching the pond. This shot rolls over to critters who've established their base at the Bionic Gardens... and just when I I got a series of the botanicals! Boy, this female mallard has a good kick and is lucky not to be a goose. Denver just concluded the cleanup of over a thousand park geese to feed the poor at only a hundred grand. I'm selling my Thanksgiving meal ticket for cash outside the gardens. .
Did she look over behind the reeds? No wonder, looking at this pool, they charge an entry fee for everyone, even Denverites. I wonder if they have have to feed the water fowl? I don't see any standing corn fields among the high rise housing. but maybe they feed mostly on visitors' leftovers.The ducks get better feed than the American poor.
After following some of the paths that are scattered about the Denver Botanic Gardens, I found a cool spot with a load of water, a good thing on the Colorado plains. It's clear that the pool furnished a good water garden. Folks especially like water plantings at the Denver Botanical Gardens.
So I followed the original path and in my wanderings, I mostly found loads of people. This shows a change up from earlier snaps. This snap is yet another from a recent eDDie trek, this time down to the Denver Botanic Gardens. I have passed untold times but never invested my time or ponied up the entrance fee. This path shouts that upkeep here is far from free, but eDDie bought a season pass so I did another round of sponge bobbing at the right price. Boy, this place is loaded with distractions that were made for me! ...and, did I get distracted.

my daughters are fascinated by the baby bunnies in the neighborhood and I keep asking them what will they do if they catch one?
Cannock Chase - designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - is in Staffordshire, England. We recently decided to explore this area in more detail.

My son Chase and his cousin Olivia got to spend a week together at a rental cottage. It was so special to see them getting along like they did. She followed him everywhere, and wanted to hold his hand when we went on walks like this. There is just shy of a year between them, and he remembered to be gentle with her (most of the time!). I hope they remain friends as they get older. It's times like these that I can tell that Chase will be a super big brother. . .only a few more weeks to go!
submission to music monday for next week.
chasing cars by snow patrol
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
... this song reminds me of how much I used to love playing cars with my son ... we would lie on the floor and get lost in our own world ... and I find it to be a really sad song of longing ... just wanting to get lost in the moment ....
This beautiful kitty lives with one of my mom's good friends, and we went over and had a nice visit yesterday.
Mural by Justin Suarez aka @aerosolkingdom for Sinnissippi Audubon, seen at 1236 East State Street in Rockford, Illinois.
Sinnissippi Audubon states: "The two main portions of this mural are designed to tell a story, reflecting on the relationships between predatory and prey species, and highlighting local wildlife which have been suffering from the effects of climate change, including Blackburnian Warbler, Canada Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Henslow's Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, House Finch, Scarlet Tanager, Nashville Warbler, and Veery.
"Dodge" features a depiction of a Peregrine Falcon diving into a group of songbirds, in a failed attempt to snatch one of them within it's powerful talons. While the tenacious falcon greatly overpowers them; the songbirds are fast, and adept at scattering and escaping with their lives.
"Chase" shows a very converse scene, in which the songbirds have joined together to chase the falcon away from the area that they call home. Though tiny and frail, their many beaks together can cause enough of an annoyance to force the falcon to search elsewhere for food.
Depending on how these two murals are viewed, they can tell their own stand alone story, or they can be viewed as a peice of sequential art. In this way, "Chase" can be seen as the second act of the story, in which the songbirds are retaliating against the falcon.

The tiny Peckett 0-4-0 Marcia passes Orpins, K&ESR, en route to Tenterden Town. This was apparently its first passenger working for 40 years!
Some people like to point out how there would be no shadows if there weren't any light. But hey, without darkness, who would be able to perceive light? much less appreciate it, at all.
And one more thing, although as Goethe says, where there's bright light the shadows will be deep, there sure can be deep shadows without bright light.
