"He's so cool!" Says Pep. Sitting in this awesome tiny car waiting on his human paying for gasoline. "Good boy!"
And it isn't on a hot tin roof.
Farm cat sitting on a frozen drainage ditch.
Not sure what it was doing there but it seemed content.
Out looking for snowy owls, no owls, just a cat.

I love my town, folk are so friendly and approachable, today was sunny and people I met and chatted to were happy. This bus is parked on a busy street, just out of town, shiny and gleaming in the sunshine it has caught my eye months ago. This morning I asked the owner if I could photograph it, and then set up (see above) taking my shots. You can hire for long weekends or a full week, I can imagine that being real fun, but today I was just happy to finally get this image that has been on the boil waiting for the right opportunity!
Three cheers for nice people! And for my hometown.
#2 in Explore...thanks guys
Sat in my office right now in melting heat, sweat pouring from my brow, tshirt stuck to my moobs......its hot, too damn hot!
I console myself in memories of last Saturday evening and my session at Portland which had such blessed cool air.....sooo coool.
I really did try to get some different angles of the lighthouse on this chill evening but ended up being drawn to Pulpit rock (which will now be known as Guiness rock as thats what it looks like now at night with that 'kin MOD light hitting the top of it!).
However, this one did strike me as rather nice. It might be the cool blue tones of the image, yeah cool cooooooll cooooooool blue tones....stop it Simon!
I am not built for heat. My 6ft 4 in frame, blonde hair and blue eyes hark back to the far north, pulling an oar on a longboat, cutting through icy seas with snow smashing into my bearded face.....ah yes snow....cool cooolll coooooool snow...
I give up. I'm going to run a bath of cold water and sit in it until my toes turn into prunes. Laters peeps!
Those who took photos at orchid shows during general admission time know how challenging it is to get a clean, quality shot. The background is too cluttered, the light is too harsh or too weak, the exhibits are often placed too close to each other etc. After looking in frustration on my computer screen at photos taken at one show I started playing with images, and a Cool Orchids series was born :-)
Norfolk and Western Class J 4-8-4 #611 (Roanoke Shops 1950) is eastbound on Norfolk Southern's S Line headed from Spencer to Old Fort and Asheville via the famed 'Southern Loops.' She is approaching the diamond at Barber Junction MP S11.5 on the line from Salisbury to Asheville and MP L39.4 on the line from Winston-Salem to Charlotte they are will cross. What is now the S Line was built through here around 1858 by the Western North Carolina Railroad Company but didn't reach the Asheville area until 1879. After three bankruptcies the company finally entered the Southern Railway fold in 1894. Meanwhile the modern day L Line dates from 1898 when the Southern Railway extended the shortline North Carolina Midland Railroad (that reached as far as Mocksville from Winston-Salem and that they had acquired in 1894) 54 miles south to Mooresville.
This train was billed as 'The Blue Ridge Special' and was making a more than 300 mile round trip as NS train 957 on what was day two of the 2016 excursion season on NS...back when that was a thing. The air was cool and clear and made for some impressive steam and smoke shows all along the way.

Self Love is not the happiest form of sexuality, but the most advisable for her who wants to be alone and think.
The lovely old stone bridge crossing over the crystal clear water of the River Derwent at Grange near Keswick in the Lake District.
Ferns and mosses on a fallen tree, deep in the heart of the Styx Valley in southern Tasmania.
The area has been extensively logged but a tiny remnant of the original cool temperate rainforest exists as a reserve for big trees.
The Big Tree reserve is easily accessible to Hobart - only slightly over an hour's drive to be surrounded by a forest so much older than you. If you visit Mount Field National Park then it behooves you to do the extra 30mins up the road into the Styx Reserve. After a visit it's not hard to see why the logging of these forests has been a source of unrest for many years.

Found this hooded oriole having a ball splashing about in the water on a hot day in south Texas. It was quite the social bird, putting on a dazzling display of bathing and water splashing. The hooded oriole is one of 10 different oriole species that can be found in North America.
I know that many of us can relate to the heat these days. 107 degrees as we traveled through Colorado yesterday afternoon. The good news for us is that if we travel upwards in elevation, it gets tremendously cooler ... often by 20-25 degrees, sometimes more. I hope that everyone finds ways to cool off this summer. :-)

I was messing with my brother's boots today. :) They were just sitting there, so I put them on and took some pics. They were a little big (wow, was that an oxymoron?!), can you tell?? :P I think I might have to get some of my own... just about 5-6 sizes smaller... and you know... in women's style.

I learn from Roy Strom's website that much of the company's early success depended on their relationship with the Milwaukee Road railroad and that this logo is derived from the logo for the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha Line.
