Continuing with blue EMDs, we go now to upstate New York, where we find CSX's office car train, still in Dark Future paint. While Saratoga Springs is a CP town, CSX for a few years brought their train to town for the muckety-mucks to go to the Whitney Stakes.
Since then, the train has been repainted into B&O-esque colors, a major aesthetic improvement, though Saratoga is no longer an annual destination.
The Aberglaslyn Pass is a narrow gorge of considerable beauty in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north Wales. The A498 road/A4085 road follows a relatively level route along the Afon Glaslyn through the pass from Beddgelert to Prenteg and then continues at the edge of the Traeth Mawr via Tremadog to Porthmadog.
Continuing the theme of abstract. Long vacated office building behind St Stephens Street in Norwich.
Continuing the Australian Christmas theme, all eyes are on the Christmas Kangaroo, except for the Python who can sleep through anything.
Continuing a long tradition of Lehigh Valley painted units on trains over the Delaware & Hudson, the 8104 leads 11R as they charge up Richmondville Hill. Fortunately for myself and Brian Plant, NS provided a recrew for this train at Mohawk Yard in time to get a bit of a chase south on the D&H, something I hadn't done in about fifteen years, so thanks again to Brian for being a tour guide out here.

Continuing my coastal ecosystem series with this preening Brown Pelican.
Brown Pelicans live in estuaries and coastal marine habitats along both the east and west coasts. This one was found perched and preening atop a weathered wharf pole near a fish cleaning station in Lamar, Texas.

Continuing foot traffic on the path has eroded the topsoil leaving the shallower roots exposed - and creating, with the help of the strong sunlight an interesting texture and pattern.
Monarchs continue passing through North Georgia ... here's one of two I saw in the late-afternoon sun yesterday. Lots of other butterfly species still flying. I also saw the first dragonfly I've seen in awhile: a golden-red female Wandering glider glistening in the sun. Another amazing visit to the wildflower oasis. It was 81o on my car while there ... should be a bit cooler today. Have a good weekend!
>> Monarch on cosmos - yesterday at the Etowah River wildflowers
Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies & bugs I've rarely if ever posted ...
A White Peacock at the wonderful Corkscrew Swamp (you could encounter bears & panthers on the boardwalk) near Naples, Florida ... just before Christmas in 2009. I've never heard of a Peacock stray making it up here but a few do wander from their very southern range.
Continuing in our yard on Friday. I did not spot one yesterday-- perhaps they have moved on? They never stay for very long...
Berlin, Marzahn: After jumping from the pigeon shed, the fox continues its way over the roof of our neighbour's chicken coop, which is protected with wire mesh
Continuing this week's Spitfire theme, a very well resolved picture of The Shuttleworth Collection's Spitfire Mk Vc, serial AR501.
Whether landing or taking off, Spitfires have a similar attitude to the ground, so the way to tell which they are doing, is to look for the landing flaps at the trailing edge of the wing, which are used to help slow the aircraft for touch down. They are clearly visible in this picture.
This aircraft is a genuine survivor of WW2 action, and served with one of the Czechoslovak squadrons of the RAF, hence the emblem just below the pilot's cockpit.
Another from a couple days ago. No textures this time. Hope they withstand the snow blanket on them tonight. I love crocuses..wish they were around all summer.
SN/NC: Russelia equisetiformis, Plantaginaceae Family
It is commonly known as fountainbush, firecracker plant, coral plant, coral fountain, coralblow and fountain plant, is a weeping subshrub in the Plantaginaceae family.
The plant is native to Mexico and Guatemala. Most common color is coral, red, but also rarely we find in the color white, very beautiful. It is said to have also one yellow. But I have never seen it.
The name Russelia honors the Scottish naturalist Alexander Russell (1715-1768), given to the genus by the Dutch scientist Baron Nikolaus von Jacquin (1727-1817). The species name reference to this plants resemblance to horse tail rushes, and the Latin term equisetiformis means "like Equisetum".
Russelia equisetiformis (russelia): planta pendente, com ramos longos que despontam da primavera ao outono e podem ter coloração vermelha, amarela ou branca. No paisagismo, costuma ser empregada em renques ou maciços sobre pequenos morros e declives. Também é apropriada para vasos, floreiras e cestas suspensas. Deve ser cultivada sob sol pleno ou meia-sombra, em solo fértil, bem drenável, rico em húmus e irrigado regularmente. Não tolera estiagens prolongadas. A cor mais comum da russelia é a vermelha ou coral. Mas também existe a branca, muito mais difícil de encontrar e a amarela, raríssima. Quando misturadas ambas cores, é um lindo espetáculo da mãe natureza. As 3 juntas jamais vi.
Es ist allgemein bekannt als Brunnenbusch, Kracherpflanze, Korallenpflanze, Korallenbrunnen, Korallenblow und Brunnenpflanze, ist ein weinender Halbstrauch in der Familie der Wegerichgewächse.
Die Pflanze stammt aus Mexiko und Guatemala. Die häufigste Farbe ist Koralle, Rot, aber auch selten finden wir die Farbe Weiß, sehr schön. Es soll auch einen gelben haben. Aber ich habe es noch nie gesehen.
Der Name Russelia ehrt den schottischen Naturforscher Alexander Russell (1715-1768), den der niederländische Wissenschaftler Baron Nikolaus von Jacquin (1727-1817) der Gattung gegeben hat. Der Artname bezieht sich auf diese Pflanze und ähnelt Schachtelhalmbinsen, und der lateinische Begriff equisetiformis bedeutet „wie Equisetum".
Il est communément connu sous le nom de fontaine, plante pétard, plante corail, fontaine corail, coralblow et plante fontaine, est un sous-arbuste pleureur de la famille des Plantaginaceae.
La plante est originaire du Mexique et du Guatemala. La couleur la plus courante est le corail, le rouge, mais aussi rarement on en trouve dans la couleur blanche, très belle. On dit qu'il a aussi un jaune. Mais je ne l'ai jamais vu.
Le nom Russelia rend hommage au naturaliste écossais Alexander Russell (1715-1768), donné au genre par le scientifique hollandais Baron Nikolaus von Jacquin (1727-1817). La référence du nom d'espèce à ces plantes ressemble à des joncs de queue de cheval, et le terme latin equisetiformis signifie "comme Equisetum".
Es un arbusto ornamental cultivado, originario de México de la familia de las Plantagináceas. También se le llama lágrimas de amor, lágrimas de Júpiter y lágrimas de Cristo. Alcanza un metro o poco más de altura, con las ramas extendidas, estriadas y muy delgadas. Las hojas en el tallo y las ramas o casi todas, están reducidas a escamas agudas, como de 2 mm de longitud; las de las ramas estériles, espatuladas de 1,4 cm de largo; cáliz de 5 mm de largo, corola rojo brillante, de unos 3 cm de longitud, cápsula ovoide. El color más común para esta planta es la roja o coral. También hay las blancas, más difíciles de encontrarse. Leí también que hay una amarilla or color crema, pero nunca la he visto. Rarísima belleza cuando se mezclan ambas.

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Took this shot with wideangle.. you can clearly see how narrow the Peninsula is, with Port Phillip Bay on one side and the ocean back beaches on the other...
Continuing to try out a new toy, I spotted some westbounds shooting out of the Bluff Yard on East Hump's command. On account of a double track parking lot at NTW on the St. Paul Sub, things had to go Midway Sub. Of course, this hopper train is heading for the Willmar Line, so no big deal. This shot works well with a uniform unit train.

The young Mule Deer buck wanted a drink. I watched him disappear into the bushes, so I set up and waited for him to reappear... and he did, next to a beaver dam. They don't always behave as you would expect; this time I guessed right.
The beaver dam is a futile effort, as this river can run deep during spring melt - 15 feet or deeper, flooding its banks. By late summer, though, it's almost a wading pool. He drank his fill and continued to the opposite bank, disappearing into the thicket. The beavers did not note his passing, nor did the Frenchman River. That's what photographers are for.
In about six weeks I'll be out looking for the big bucks, as the annual rut will be starting. Always an exciting time, whether I guess right or not.

Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons

I slowly got up from the chair i was sitting on in front of the fire, not wanting to leave the warmth of the room, slinking away like i was alone in the room, i returned to the ladies room, changed into another outfit, placing hearts into her eyes hoping to become unrecognizable to the handsome jewel thief, leaving the building i pick up my pace heading across the lawn trying to hide in every shadow i could find,quickly i was loosing the shadows to a large open space of the lawn, now i had to find all the strength in me to make a quick get away, as i picked up my pace all of a sudden i felt a grip to my shoulder, there was a scuffle, i tried to fight him off, my breathing pounding throughout my body, i muster up some strength to fight him off some more, he was powerful,i had to think fast and hard in that moment how to escape his clutches to save my jewels, to be continued ............................

This an evening shot of the largest Catholic Church in our city, the Holy Name of Jesus Parish.
I layered in a linen texture to the sky and I'm happy with the final result. Hope you are, too.

Thanks to all who view and comment on my images, much appreciated :)
This image will continue to remind me of Hidden Grove, because of the way these branches partially reveal themselves to my camera. As if shy in nature, they give us only enough to let us know they are there. Hidden behind a tree trunk, and using another to gain confidence, they contribute their beauty to the surrounding.
"Hidden Grove is a beautiful forested area with a network of hiking trails that pass by several enormous Douglas Fir trees. Located just north of Sechelt, the many different paths offer a unique opportunity to plan your route through a lush west coast forest, on routes that are well maintained."

They seem to be enjoying their vacation in these parts, perhaps the dining is the big attraction, they arrive before 6:30 in the mornings and hang around for 12 hours
Continuing to review our 2024 travels. We typically visit Arizona in early spring before the intense heat sets in. After a few days in the Tucson area, we head north to Page.
The Grand Canyon is just a short detour from the main highway between Flagstaff and Page. We usually don't do it, but the sky was moody and turbulent that day and I thought some good photo ops might be possible. I was right.

Continuing the chase of Pan Am train 16R (NS East Binghamton, NY yard to PAS Ayer, MA yard) with the visitors from New Jersey stop number three was Charlemont. I warned them that the shot up on the hill wasn't nearly as good as the one down at the crossing but they wanted to try anyway. I've only done this once before for obvious reasons, but the pickup with plow made for a nice moment in time that will serve as a reminder of the storm years from now.
A local looks ready for the impending snow as he drives over the 8A crossing in front of the train. At right is the former Boston & Maine freight house standing between West Hawley Road and the Deerfield River at MP 407.4 on the the old Fitchburg Division, modern day District Three of Pan Am Southern's Freight Mainline.
