I often hear the nasal honk calls of the White-breasted Nuthatch around my property in the early morning, Today was no different. They frequent my seed feeder. I watch them come in quick, grab a sunflower seed then stash them in the Redwood trunk bark.
The overcast light was a blessing for this species, as they are hard to photograph in bright light conditions. The natural pink bokeh is my Oleander hedgerow.
Y295 rolls down the middle of Polk Street in Tampa, FL.
This line still has several customers, but only the tank car receivers seem to be consistent.

An orangutan child stays with her mother until about 8 years old, but the uran’s mother died when she was 4 years old, so the keeper took the place of her mother. I like to play with petite, but I am adult at age.
Uran loves making hammocks with cloth and observing customers.She is very good at hanging out with just one foot or hanging with one finger.
Please give a gentle voice when your eyes meet uran.
Connecticut Southern local CSO-3 backs into the new Home Depot Warehouse in South Windsor, CT. This customer sees quite a bit of traffic since opening last year.
The crew of Compagnie du chemin de fer Lanaudière makes some moves at a grain customer, in Saint-Felix-de-Valious, on 3/13/2025. After delaying the run for several days, on account of QGRY's St-Gabriel Branch having several crossings which were iced over, the CFL crew prepares to head south for the interchange at Joliette.
CFL is owned by Bell Gaz, a heating fuel supplier that operates in various parts of Quebec. The railroad operates around 10.5 miles of the former CP St-Gabriel Subdivision to serve Bell Gaz's LPG terminal in Saint-Felix. In addition to the fuel traffic, the railroad also serves some agricultural customers and a plastics manufacturer.
As for the power on this trip, former CN S-13, 114. The 114 was built originally as CN 8620 in 1959. Like other S-13's, it was later rebuilt and renumbered, before finishing its service life working various yards around the CN system, mated with a slug hence the additional cables on the front of the unit. Today the 113 sports the Bell Gaz company colors, while the 114 is now mainly used as the back up unit. Former NBEC RS18u-3 3000 is the primary power, however on this visit the 3000 was down, while one of its trucks was being rebuilt offsite.
Like all of the other MLW operators in Quebec, CFL's small but dedicated workforce keeps these ancient locomotives running, well into the 21st century.

Die ChemOil Logistics AG wurde 1999 als Tochter von SBB Cargo gegründet. Das Unternehmen ist Teil eines feinmaschigen, europäischen Logistik-Netzwerkes und erbringt im Wesentlichen Dienstleistungen für Kunden aus der Chemie- und Mineralöl-Branche.
ChemOil Logistics AG werd in 1999 als dochteronderneming van de SBB Cargo opgericht. Het bedrijf is deel van een europees logistiek netwerk en biedt hoofdzakelijk diensten aan voor klanten in de chemische en raffinaderijbranche. Op 3 september 2021 kon ik te Großkorbetha de 482 012 fotograferen die net met een ketelwagentrein aan kwam.
ChemOil Logistics AG was founded in 1999 as a subsidiary of SBB Cargo. The company is part of a European logistics network and mainly provides services for customers in the chemical and petroleum sectors. On September 3rd 2021 I was able to spot engine 482 012 which was arriving in Großkorbetha with a tank car train.
There were a few WC units lettered for different things over the years. 7551, 3012 and CR 3312 lead GBSOA at Gilchrist on January 31, 1999. The run through CR GP40(or any other run through power) wasn't common east of Gladstone. The little trees that had recently been planted in this location are probably 25 feet tall now and this location that I'd shot from 1975 through the WC era is now grown in, not that your likely to see a morning eastbound here anyway nowadays.
I spent a morning at Palestine to knock a few angles off the list. Palestine Utility 3 had shoved 10 cars out to a nearby ethanol plant, but unfortunately did not have anything to pickup. The slug set still looked good as is passed part of the grain complex adjacent at the west end of the yard.

1911 Baker Electric Special Extension Coupe, Model V
In the first decades of the 20th century, electric vehicles seemed poised for primacy. Early internal-combustion engines were rudimentary, dangerous, and difficult to operate, requiring all sorts of pump priming and starter torqueing. Those tasks were uncouth for the wealthy gentlemen who were the automobile’s first customers and downright risky for the era’s women, clothed in voluminous, billowing Edwardian dresses and patriarchal notions of competence. Electric cars, on the other hand, were extremely simple to use. So long as the heavy batteries were maintained and charged, all one had to do was click the on switch, twist the go lever, and roll.
Having founded the American Ball Bearing Company in 1895, Midwestern engineer Walter C. Baker understood the basics of carriage production. This background gave him faith that he could make the leap into car building. Teaming up with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, he started the Baker Motor Vehicle Company in Cleveland in 1899. Seeing the aforementioned advantages inherent in electric vehicles, Baker decided to place his faith in this powertrain.
“Number one, it’s comfortable, and it’s not terribly difficult to drive,” said Stew Somerville, a volunteer mechanic at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome museum in upstate New York, which holds a 1911 Baker in its eclectic collection. “But part of the attraction of the electric automobile was the fact that it did not emit gasoline fumes, you didn’t have to crank-start the engine, there was no big wheel to wrestle with. It was a very smooth-handling automobile. You didn’t even have a loud, offensive horn. There’s a dainty little bell to warn of its coming.” Period ads were frequently, although not exclusively, pitched directly at women.
Baker’s first car to market was a two-seater, the Imperial Runabout. Priced at a competitive $850, it was first shown in New York at the city’s (and nation’s) first auto show. It attracted a number of notable buyers, including Thomas Edison, who purchased one as his very first car. (Edison designed the long-lived nickel-iron batteries used in some Baker vehicles.) By 1906, Baker was, briefly, the world’s top producer of electric vehicles.
But like many of his cohort in the emergent automotive industry, Baker wasn’t just in it for the business. He was in it for the speed. As his company was enjoying success in the consumer market, he was pursuing his dream by developing a series of advanced, record-setting racing cars. His first, the Torpedo, was built in 1902, at great personal expense to Baker. With its 11 batteries, 14-hp mid-mounted motor, outrageously low-slung 48-inch height, streamlined and lightweight white-pine and oilcloth body, and bizarre webbed canvas seat restraints, it seemed poised to set a world land speed record.
Sadly, in that year’s Automobile Club of America speed trials on Staten Island, the car was involved in a disastrous crash. After crossing the 1-kilometer (0.6 mile) mark in just over 30 seconds, Baker and his co-driver lost control and crashed into a group of spectators. One person died at the scene, and another died later from injuries. The drivers were both arrested and charged with manslaughter but were freed when it was determined that the crowd had pushed past protective barriers and onto the course. (Baker’s innovative safety harness likely protected the car’s occupants from serious injury.)
Further attempts with two smaller, single-seater race cars he named Torpedo Kid were also employed in pursuit of the land speed record but were subsequently abandoned following another, nonlethal spectator crash in 1903. Baker has often been noted as the first person to cross the 100-mph barrier, although his records weren’t official due to these wrecks.
Given this peril, Baker decided to forgo his quest for top speed. As gasoline-powered vehicles increased in popularity and gained infrastructural support, he shifted his attention instead to diminishing the electric car’s liabilities, particularly their limited range. He worked diligently on new battery designs, shaft drives, and other componentry. In 1910, Baker’s new chief engineer, Emil Gruenfeldt, set a record for distance driven on a single charge, taking a Baker Victoria for a 201-mile trip at an average speed of 12 mph. Not exactly Ludicrous speed, but an impressive feat nonetheless.
Baker’s successes gave the company prominence among the elite, and the company capitalized on this publicly. In advertisements around 1909, the brand boldly boasted about the King of Siam owning a Baker. The company made a similar splash in American politics when President William H. Taft’s administration purchased a 1909 model as one of the White House’s first automobiles. (A steam-powered White and two gasoline-powered Pierce-Arrows were also included, Taft hedging his bets on how the battle of the powertrains was going to play out.) Taft later added a 1912 Baker Victoria that went on to be driven by five First Ladies. The Baker brand maintains some celebrity allure today, with car-collecting comedian Jay Leno holding a 1909 model in his expansive collection.
As a means of offsetting some of the powertrain’s inherent shortcomings, Baker made investments in battery-charging infrastructure. The brand announced plans to open stations at every major intersection in Cleveland and to grow the network from there, although this effort became cost prohibitive and never came to fruition. Expansion into the production of electric trucks, police patrol wagons, and even trucks and bomb handlers for the U.S. Army during World War I was not enough to fend off the rising dominance of the internal-combustion engine, especially after the proliferation of the electric starter, first available on the 1912 Cadillac, significantly increased safety and convenience. By 1915, the Baker company was defunct.

I suspect that most people buy their clothing from stalls such as this. There seems to be plenty of choice and the styles are very similar to those that customers are wearing

Life in Mei Foo-Now and Then by Ng Yuen Wa
The sixteen panels will be divided into two main parts according to their themes, one part is about the past of Mei Foo and the other illustrates the life of the Mei Foo residents at the present moment. These two main parts can be subdivided into four groups, each group consisting of four panels:
The first group, On the Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival , depicts how the Mei Foo residents used to share their love and joy at the podium under the full moon at the Mid-Autumn Festival.;
The second group, centred on the theme of Memory of the Seashore, brings the viewers back to a time when there was a wonderful seashore at the Mei Foo Sun Chuen. With a touch of nostalgia, this group of works highlights the sublime seascape and the serene atmosphere of the Mei Foo Sun Chuen.
The Mei Foo residents depicted in the third group, Apartment in the Starry Metropolitan, enjoy the glittering night scene of this prosperous metropolitan – Hong Kong – through gazing out of their apartment windows, while they are resting in their apartments after a day of work.
In Mei Foo, a piece of land has been reclaimed from the sea and a park with different kinds of recreational facilities is built on the reclamation area. The fourth group of work, entitled A Delightful Weekend, focuses on the recreational activities of the Mei Foo residents taking place in the park.

Maneki-Neko or "beckoning cat" is an ornament in the shape of a cat with one fore-paw raised and bent as if beckoning people. It's a good luck charm to attract customers.
The affection for nature is a deep and unspoken bond, where the serenity of the wilderness soothes the soul. Every whisper of wind and rustle of leaves speaks to our innate longing for peace and harmony. In nature's embrace, we find solace, renewal, and a profound sense of belonging.

I was passing what was apparently a candle shop when I noticed customers asking the merchants to pose for an iphone photo....I shot through the front window rather than going into the shop.
The Bozeman Local switches the R-Y Timber company's mill on the south side of Livingston MT on June 16, 2022. The customer is accessed via the Park City Branch from the yard in Livingston. The branch once led to Yellowstone National Park and hosted passenger trains to and from the park. Public highways and the private automobile put a stop to that decades ago. The branch is now nothing more than a mile and a half long if that. The remainder is a hiking/biking trail.
