As seen on a tiny patch of land, that nature had taken over by the edge of an inner city car park.

Deseret Power Railway afternoon loads begins the stiff climb out of the Martian-esque Coyote Basin with 7200 tons of bituminous coal for the Bonanza Power Plant.

A few of the many photos taken of the Barred Owlets over the last two months as the nest was alongside a lakeside walking trail.

While doing our usual early morning walk with our dog we would occasionally see an owl(s) and stop briefly for a photo or two.

The photo on the top left was May 30th, the first day the two owlets emerged from the nest and this was the actual tree the nest was in. They had climbed to the top of it and apparently soon fluttered to a nearby tree where the adults were.

The owlets are doing fine and have moved a considerable distance away from the original site.

Thank you for viewing

The climb up the Niagara escarpment begins for both of these trains. CP 247-31 ascends the 2% percent grade up the Hamilton sub as CN A43531-31 starts to climb the grade to Copetown. Sometimes the stars align and things work out. Not a bad way to end 2020. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!

Almost 12 years and still after mouses everywhere

The next five day's I will be over to the other side of the country for my real life job.

So no second life, no taking pictures.and not posting.

This will be the case for four weeks on weekday's.

With a Second Life inventory exploding with stuff to show I have to let real life get my full priority.

In the meantime have fun while you shop until you drop.

The small figures give good scale. this is the largest dune at Sossusvlei, Namibia.

67010 makes a fine sight as it climbs the bank at Llanellen heading for Cardiff. I wanted to grab another Class 67 working here before the foliage really gets going. 1V46 14:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.

In the pursuit of life.

In the rose garden at the Ringling Museum. It was not the best day to photograph the roses because they had just been cut back and fertilized for the growing season, but I managed to find a few to capture.

I obtained this surreal view of Utah Lake in the distance below by climbing a mountain in my truck. Quads and side-by-sides were surprised that a truck made it there. Although not very deep, the water is an unusual color and has a bacteria growth that deters swimming.

Zoom in to see the snow-covered mountain peak in the distance.
