Dash gets on the roof and sometimes "forgets" where to get down. He wants me to help. He seems to do it on purpose.

Female Blue Dasher.
Blue dashers are by far the most numerous dragonflies in local ponds. Even though they do not have the bright blue color I think that the markings on the females are very beautiful. For comparison a photograph of a male is in the comment box.

Amtrak Dash 8-32BWH 500 leads Hiawatha train 338 through Morton Grove, IL.
Unfortunately, it seems that after serving Amtrak faithfully for more than 33 years, these units are finally nearing retirement. Chicago yard has taken delivery of some GP38-3s.
If the end really is near for the Dash-8s, they will be missed!!

The 367-80 was a prototype aircraft developed to prove Boeing's ability to produce a jet airliner and aerial refueling tanker. It's one of my favorite aircraft at the Udvar-Hazy center.
The model is at ~1/64 scale, similar to last year's B-52 and RC-2 airliner. It took about a month and a half to build, and it's my second largest aircraft at 3,355 parts.
On the night of March 27, 1996 I had the scanner on and heard this guy requesting his meal enroute as he was coming through Rochelle, IL. By this time after the Union Pacific merger, the usual "beans at Dekalb" was denied. But on this evening, the dispatcher let him make the stop. Being a fan on the C&NW Dash 8's--and especially the only one that ended with the number '23', I made my way down to Dekalb to find them behind The Junction shopping plaza on the west side of town. A time exposure, coupled with a clear 25 bulb on the nose, produced this view of the C&NW 8523 and 8718 against the Northern Illinois night.
Female Blue Dasher. Female dragonflies generally hide, so they are more difficult to find and photograph, than the males who often perch and display prominently. This female blue dasher is very different than the more flamboyant blue males (see photo in the comment box) but those eyes are beautifully colored.

The Blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is common and widely distributed in the United States.
Mature males develop a bluish-white pruinescence on the back of the abdomen and, in western individuals, on the thorax. They display this pruinescence to other males as a threat while defending territories at the edge of the water.[2]
