As we were walking around the Smithsonian Zoological Park, my wife noticed this little birdie just standing on a branch above us.. I was able to snap this shot, which I hope does justice to how pretty the bird was...
I also thought it was a nice touch that he had some dirt as if he had just eaten something...

After a major winter storm dumped several feet of snow in the Washington Cascades, the iconic Burlington Northern plow that is assigned to the Scenic Sub was brought out to clear the tracks after it was shutdown for over 48 hours due to downed trees, power outages, and trains stalling on the 2.2% grade between Skykomish and Scenic as the heavy "Cascade Cement" caused havoc on the railroads "longshot" planning.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
You know you’re in Amsterdam when even the cleanup becomes a spectacle. Apparently, when you’re finished with a bicycle and it’s beyond repair, you just throw it into the canal… and every now and then you stumble across the city hauling them back out again.
I’ve only ever seen this once, and it was such a thrill to photograph — a strange mix of urban archaeology and everyday Dutch practicality. Just another reason wandering through Amsterdam never gets old. The city always has a surprise waiting around the corner, even at the bottom of a canal.
Firewood from fallen trees litters the trackside as NG/G16 129 exits the temporary speed restriction at Landslide beneath sunny autumn skies with a train to Gembrook.
Almost all done picking up falling leaves - HURRAH So far over the past week, I have filled eight 30-gallon yard waste bags. And thanks to the high winds we’ve been having, neighbors down the street I am sure are enjoying their Fall season The temps just dropped into the mid-20s f, so the last of the leaves can wait :-)

Camden's cleanup.
For the 3rd time in as many weeks Camden was yet again the victim of severe flooding.
The flood waters have yet again receded and now the huge clean up begins.
It seems that this time the waters were higher than previously experienced but it doesn't alter the fact that yet again Camden is faced with another clean up.
This is image depicts the cleanup operation that involved a water tanker using a high pressure hose to clean down the Argyle Street in readiness to re-open the access to Camden.

In position the beast gets to work. A few more freights were let by on the south main before work really got underway.
Just outside Tunnel 2 at Plainview, Colorado, a wreck occurred on the Moffat Road in spring of 1972. Because locomotives were involved, wreck outfits from both Denver and Grand Junction were quickly called to the scene. Former D&SL 120-ton derrick 029 and D&RGW Bucyrus-Erie 250-ton “big hook” 028 from Grand Junction (nicknamed “Samson de Grande”) work in unison to lift Rio Grande GP35 No. 3043 back onto the rails. GP7 No. 5101 and a Great Northern boxcar are still left to be rescued on the rocky slope below. The action, of course, takes place on my N scale (1/160 scale) Moffat Road model railroad.
Since L070 has come back to days, it has operated like clockwork. Somewhat overshadowed is the L053, which skulks around the area doing work.
This day, the L053 with CSXT 8089 would hang out at Leeds Jct for L070 to pass after shoving a Rumford bound train into Den for its counterpart L054. Having finished my L070 chase earlier in the day and getting my chores done, I figured L053 would be getting close on time to make it back. Sure enough they cleaned out a lot of various pockets of traffic between Leeds and Danville and had a healthy 70 cars for the trip back to Rigby.
Seen here just outside of CP-Falmouth (former CPF192) hustling back to Rigby yard.
And now the cleanup begins. My office was without power for most of the day, so I worked remotely. Madison’s biggest utility had the most power outages in their history, dozens of roads were blocked and the entire Madison school district was closed. Ours was open but there seemed like fewer kids than usual - plenty of power outages in our city too.
The clean up woman will wipe his blues away
She'll give him plenty lovin' 24 hours a day
The clean up woman, she'll sweep him off his feet
She's the one who'll take him in when you dump him in the street
So take a tip, you better get hip
To the clean up woman 'cause she's tough
I mean, she really cleans up...

With cars and debris strewn about, New York Central's Southwestern Limited came to grief after derailing at the diamond crossing in Wellington, OH on January 10, 1960. The big hook is in the back, doing cleanup work. With Coach 2939 to the left, Coach 2956 deflected outward and was awaiting removal. Note the shankless coupler still attached to this end of 2956. 2956 had been built by Budd in 1947. It was one of a group of 60 56 Seat Coaches built for the NYC by Budd in 1946/47 on Lot 9613-004. It would then operate in various parts of the Great Steel Fleet until this incident. Although the side facing appears to be undamaged, just visible is a lump in the roof where the other side of the car took a big hit. The damage was enough that 2956 was retired after this wreck.

A shot made from two roughly adjacent photos taken by US Army Major C,B, White probably in February 1951 after US forces had been massacred by a surprise heavy attack by Chinese troops. The two shots don't blend perfectly because the viewpoint shifted between shots, but the blend is good enough to give a vivid sense of the destruction visited on the area by the fighting.
Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia floridana)
Photography and birding came in to my life together and almost on a whim. Learning about birds, and consequently the habitats they are in, has profoundly changed my life and opened my eyes to the consequences to wildlife of the ever increasing advancement of the human footprint.
This owl was another learning experience for me both in terms of increasing my knowledge of the species and the human/wildlife connection. His burrow is in a highly populated area of Florida, surrounded by houses and busy streets. While observing the owl, much to my horror, one of his neighbors opened the front door and out trots a Golden Retriever roaming free; unleashed. Of course the dog comes right over to where this owl and his family of owlets are. All the babies go scurrying back into the burrow but interestingly the two adults stayed put. Then the dog comes over and checks out my friend and me; sniffs around in the field a little more then finds a nice spot to do his "deed". Once that is done, he trots on back to his house.
I'm not thinking nice things at this point. I was a dog owner and was taught to clean up after my dog; not leave a pile of crap lying around to be stepped in. Plus I'm worried about the dog harming the poor owls.
If you've stuck with me this far, here is where the learning part comes in. This owl is actually thankful to have that dog as his neighbor and thankful that the owner doesn't clean up after it. One of this owl's feeding techniques is to carry dung back to its burrow which then attracts dung beetles that it will eat.
I didn't know what was in the owl's talons at the time I took this shot, but this is a shot of the owl carrying back a nice Golden Retriever dung ball. One wise owl.

Often clean up at your workplace. Especially, garbage heaps under the keyboard :))

our group CMAS used to organize annual cleanup drives to assist clean our environment (including underwater). here are some images of stuffs one can see underwater
The village street crew has a tough job. They have to maintain the streets for both snowmachines and wheeled vehicles.
This means keeping the snow at a depth that is safe for traction, turning and braking for all vehicles.
First a blade, then a plow, then remove the excess. Good on 'em.
