New York, Susquehanna & Western train CL-1 departs from Cortland, NY with an empty welded rail train being pulled by a pair of SD45s during an intense snow squall. The crew would take the train to a siding north of Binghamton, where they would swap crews with a job coming north out of Binghamton yard.

As seen just after a fresh snow. Test roll of Tri-X 400 shot on a Pentax 645, with Pentax-A 645 80-160 f4.5 zoom lens, I picked up on my trip to Cortland, NY. Shot in Program AE mode to verify the accuracy of the meter. The camera is fully functional, other than the battery grip. Which I am attempting to repair. I transplanted the battery grip from my own P645 to shoot this roll.

This is a 3 exposure HDR all the way back from February. The exposures were at 20 seconds, 50 seconds, and 70 seconds. I forgot about this one and was looking for the right time post it. Today seemed like the day beacause it shows water in three different states, liquid water, snow, and ice, which is perfect for my water week.
Also, the name Stone Bridge Falls was just my own creation as I don't even think this little falls has a name.
I hope everyone enjoys this image!

Beaudry Park
Beaudry is my maiden name and I was delighted to find this Park in Cortland, NY. The first time I was in Cortland was 21 years ago and I really liked the town. We were there 3 years ago, but I didn't know about this park until recently. I was so happy to be able to get back there and visit. Mr. Beaudry was a pretty famous guy in these parts.
This is a Sessile-leaf Bellwort. It is a small wildflower that grows in Eastern North America. The flowers drape down in the shape of a bell and are about an inch long. These are not very flashy or colorful flowers. The don't stand out and say "Look at me!". What I do see when I look at them, is a simple grace and elegance. It was my goal to bring out those qualities in this image. I'll let you decide of I succeeded. :^)
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :^)
The scientific name for this species is: Uvularia sessilifolia.
Window Wednesday
I snapped this photo last summer at Courthouse Park in Cortland, NY at the Ageless Jazz Band Concert. This fellow playing the bass guitar is my dentist :)
This hill is behind a house that has been in our family for generations. Oddly for a lot of us, this place has never felt like home. I work in this town now but feel so distant in spirit. The past casts a shadow over the community. Too many residents haven't embraced the brightness and strength of modern innovations. Ones like I used to create and share this photo.
