Spring is a little bit late this year. Same time last year I sat in beautiful sunshine outside in a t-shirt. Not a good idea to do the same now...Zaandse Schans, The Netherlands
It's strange how instant gratification evolves over time: from popping bubble wrap... to pushing a button... and now, returning to "normal"...
But "normal" has changed, normal is now wearing a mask and practicing physical distancing.
Delaying gratification can slow the virus spread and help with returning faster to something more like the "old normal".
What is required from us and how we respond to that will shape the story we'll tell in the future.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday. Since we went apple picking yesterday, I decided to go with a flying apple. Strangely enough we never had a flying apple on this photostream. And I’m not talking about levitating apples ! I’m talking about an actual apple with wings and flying… I’m truly surprised but then again my gin and tonic soaked memory is … well…soaked in gin and tonic. So without any further delay: flying apple. Be carful, not to get hit by this flying apple !!
When an apple hits you in the head you might feel a little bit disoriented or lost for a while, some hurtful childhood memories may resurface. I'm talking from personal experience...once my son hit me with an apple by accident since his abilities to throw something at a moving target with success are as good as mine… It felt like I almost got a concussion !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
I know for a lot of us, photography is an escape form the madness of the world, but in the context of this photo it is a reaction to an action.
Last night, the Village of Beecher finally hosted their fireworks show on Labor Day weekend, 2 months after it was originally scheduled. The delay was because the Delta variant was really starting to ramp up on infections. Since then, cases in the US have increased steadily, most notably in the last couple weeks. About 6% more of the US has been fully vaxxed between when this show was delayed and now.
The rising sun finally wins its daily battle with the ground fog. Thanks for the look. Have a good week ahead.
Always do it on my own
So I gotta get through it
And the only thing I know
Is to love what I'm doing
Never give up, never slow
Till I finally prove it
Never listen to the no's
I just wanna keep moving
I stood in the rain and watched the leaves fall of this awesome tree in the park for maybe longer than I should have, I was pretty soaked at the end lol Worth it to see such nice colors : )

You just have to get used to the fact that I am soooo slow and a lot of my pictures take a year or more to see the light of day.

Happy weekend everyone!
Two of the Grand Forks horses, looking for something to snack on. It's been a grim late winter and spring here. Now we have flooding.

On dewy mornings in late August and September, dragonflies are prisoners of the marsh and must wait for the sun to dry their wings before they can take off.
A 15 minute drive from our caravan and with the delightful name of Wolla Bank. Our caravan site opens on the 15th of this month but we will be delayed for a couple of reasons but have pencilled in the 17th which may or may not get altered but i can still daydream...incidentally I traded this particular camera in because I didn't get on with it at all but came across a few that I actually liked including this one :)
Just a reminder that the sun sets inland so is setting behind me but out of site over the reed beds…..and to further demolish any romanticism the red colour in the waves is mud which gets churned up and is there somedays but not others.

Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2018. Enjoy!
I had got up early to shoot sunrise and got nothing because of the haze/smog. I came out half an hour later and got this.
We had spent the night at the fort which was amazing but hot water didn't seem to be a priority hence quite a stinky trip to Jaipur after breakfast.
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
NS 316 waits patiently behind a broken in half 310 in Euclid, Ohio at UD. This edition of 316 had a teardrop window SD75i CN doing the honors. After hearing that they were stopped just 200 feet from the crossing of London Road, I knew that I had to get in the car and shoot, regardless of the 20 degree freezing rain that was falling. Not only were they stuck behind 310 which had 3 CN units, they had to wait on 23K which also had a pair of CN’s. Seven CN units on NS?
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which becomes bigger and bigger) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Haute-Savoie (mais à la limite du département de la Savoie 😂). Massif du Beaufortain (mais à la limite du Massif du Mont Blanc 😂). Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour en famille depuis le Col du Joly jusqu'à la face Nord de l'Aiguille Croche.
En fait je souhaitais monter au sommet de l'Aiguille Croche. Et si nous étions passés par sa face Sud, nous n'aurions pas été bloqués par la neige. Mais la montée à l'Aiguille Croche par sa face Sud est très raide (sans lacets) alors j'ai préféré emprunter l'itinéraire par sa face Nord beaucoup moins raide (grâce à de larges lacets). Mais nous avons été bloqués par une quantité trop importante de neige résiduelle, bien en-dessous du sommet.
La bonne nouvelle c'est que nous avons réussi à monter au sommet de l'AIguille Croche 1 an et 15 jours plus tard (le 18 juillet 2017) car cette fois il ne restait pas la moindre trace de neige. En fait le printemps 2016 a été anormalement humide et froid et ce 3 juillet 2016 ressemblait clairement plus à une fin de printemps qu'à un début d'été, au contraire de l'année suivante.
Mais je suis très heureux d'avoir eu ce printemps 2016 et toute cette neige encore présente début juillet 2016 car les photos étaient beaucoup plus belles avec ces beaux restes de neige que l'année suivante.
La photo a été prise peu avant de revenir au Col du Joly depuis l'Aiguille Croche.
Sur cette photo, je vous présente un sommet peu connu (la Tête de la Cicle) dont j'aime beaucoup le profil depuis le secteur du Col du Joly. Et les restes de neige le magnifient encore plus.
Some timely for me delays kept CP 650 from departing overnight and instead gave it a sunny morning departure. Here we see it at CP 501 on the NS Chicago Line with Navy Veterans SD70ACu #7022 leading.

Do Skipper butterflies fly during a rain storm? They sit when it is raining making them better subjects. Maybe to protect their wings.
There was a time in railroading when the lowest numbered train symbols, were the highest priority on that railroad. Burlington Northern's Pacific Zip, Train 3 and 4 come to mind, along with CP's 'Canadian' numbers 1 and 2, as well as Union Pacific's proud City of San Francisco, numbers 101 and 102. The low number left no doubt in any junior railroader's mind as to which train was going in the hole during a meet, or departing a terminal at the front of a fleet.
Much later, after intermodal containerized freight began booming in the late 1970's for railroads, this traffic was handled as a priority cargo, and handled by existing time freight trains, or in dedicated service trains. If there were 'cans' aboard, you knew you were seeing a 'hot' train. Dedicated service doublestack trains of solid sets of a single shipping line's containers were typical in the 1980's and early 1990's. Union Pacific's partnerships with APL and K-Line, Burlington Northern's Sea-Land, Hanjin and Evergreen trains, and Southern Pacific's Sea-Land, and NYK stackers made it clear that there was hot competition for which railroad could haul marine boxes the with the quickest, most reliable, and economical service.
Fast forward to the current decade and railroads strive to handle domestic containers with some degree of alacrity, while marine containers are hauled slowly and in huge combined trains striving to tie up the railroad, while expending as little fuel to eventually get the cargo to the destination. Railroads embracing the 'PSR mentality' take this to the extremes, with 12-15,000 foot long land barges dragging hundreds of containers from all varieties of shipping lines that are destined in the same approximate direction.
After finishing work on a recent trip to Kamloops, I was pleased to hear CN Q101 departing town westward around the same time I was. I was even more pleased to spy the train across Kamloops lake, and see it running in 1990's trim; two locomotives and a 'short' train length of around a mile. The 101 skirted around the eastbound 11,000ft long land barge Q116 at Jaleslie, and was charging hard westward at 40mph. With the shot you see above at Walhachin in mind, I hurried down the highway. Late afternoon in the Thompson Canyon is a busy time for both railroads, with the early morning fleet of eastbounds out of Vancouver arriving, and the steady flow of westbounds departing with the perennial maintenance of way windows ending for the day. My scanner annunciated back to back CN detector broadcasts, indicated the Q101 was about to run into a fleet of eastbounds. To my chagrin, the dispatcher stuffed the westbound intermodal into the siding at Savona to languish for an hour to meet an empty coal train, and empty grain. The cloud bank to the west, threatening the sun gave me some minor anxiety while I waited, but in the end the resulting image was likely better for the delay.
I know this train is only third, or perhaps fourth in terms of scheduled priority over the line, but the experience described above was another reminder to me how the only thing that stays the same, is change.
P.S. This counts for my quota of 'full sunlight' images posted this month. Brace yourselves for low light and no-light, BSLT images forthcoming.

Sorry, this is a bit delayed. Ive got a bit behind on my postings. This is from new years eve 2024/2025. Shot taken at Mullaloo beach at sunset. I could not resist this couple. They were having a video call with people in the UK. We see the new year several hours before Europe and other parts of the world. They provided good silhouettes against the vivid sunset colours.
