Milwaukee Road/Nortran F40C 54 passes Rondout Tower on it's way to Fox Lake in April 1976. Looks like a young lad is getting a cab ride! 54 became Metra 614 and is now preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum thanks to a generous donation by Metra of this rare engine of which only two survive out of just 15 built by EMD in 1974.

Back into the Mer Bleue area for this morning's walk.
Here I'm watching two mountain bikers approaching. When bicycles or joggers get close I have to sit and wait for them to pass.
I'm pretty good at observing the rules on the trail. Most of the time I have a lot of freedom.

A close up image of one of the regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud that I planned on imaging after noticing this (and a few other objects) in my wide field image of the SMC which I exposed about a month ago.
This frame contains NGC346, NGC371 and NGC395.
This bi-color image was exposed through a Celestron C8 at f6.3 (1280mm focal length) with a QHY268M camera and the 2 channels were integrated through Baader 7nm H-Alpha and OIII filters.
Total integration time for this image was 4 hours and 10 minutes.

It is in yourself interest to be very tender..
This is the only acceptable close-up I have managed of one of the wildcat kittens. When they are close to the fence focusing gets difficult, especially as you have to take the photos through the lower part of the fence which consists of three layers of wire-mesh. It's a shame that I cut the tip of one ear off but at least the eyes are in focus.
Lilium candidum, the Madonna Lily or White Lily, is a plant in the true lily family. It is native to the Balkans and Middle East, and naturalized in other parts of Europe, including France, Italy, and Ukraine, and in North Africa, the Canary Islands, Mexico, and other regions.
It has been cultivated since antiquity, for at least 3,000 years, and has great symbolic value since then for many cultures.
IN CULTURE: The Bible describes King Solomon's Temple as adorned with designs of Madonna lilies on the columns, and on the brazen Sea.
The white lily symbolizes chastity in the iconography of the Catholic Church and some of the Orthodox churches.
For example, Medieval depictions of the Annunciation show Gabriel the Archangel handing a white lily to the Virgin Mary.
TOXICITY IN PETS: Cats are extremely sensitive to the toxicity of the plant and ingestion is often fatal. Suspected cases require urgent veterinary attention. (Source: Wikipedia)
UNA AZUCENA (LILIUM CANDIDUM) DESDE CERCA, 2024
La azucena, Lilium candidum, lirio de Madonna o lirio blanco, es una planta de la familia de las liliáceas.
Es originaria de los Balcanes y Oriente Medio, y se ha naturalizado en otras partes de Europa, como Francia, Italia y Ucrania, y en el norte de África, las Islas Canarias, México y otras regiones.
Se cultiva desde la antigüedad, al menos desde hace 3000 años, y tiene un gran valor simbólico desde entonces para muchas culturas.
EN LA CULTURA: La Biblia describe el Templo del Rey Salomón como adornado con diseños de lirios de Madonna en las columnas y en el Mar de bronce.
El lirio blanco simboliza la castidad en la iconografía de la Iglesia Católica y algunas de las iglesias ortodoxas.
Por ejemplo, las representaciones medievales de la Anunciación muestran al Arcángel Gabriel entregando un lirio blanco a la Virgen María.
TOXICIDAD EN MASCOTAS: Los gatos son extremadamente sensibles a la toxicidad de la planta y la ingestión suele ser mortal. Los casos sospechosos requieren atención veterinaria urgente. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
