Grape hyacinths / Traubenhyazinthen (Muscari)

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
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.
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 : )

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!
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?
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.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... 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/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Département des Hautes Alpes (05). Massif d'Escreins. Parc Naturel Régional du Queyras. Vallée de Ceillac. Vallée du Mélezet. Photo prise lors d'une randonnée en boucle effectuée en famille au départ du parking du Pied du Mélezet, en passant par le Lac Miroir et le Lac Sainte-Anne. C'était mon 7ème jour de rando sur les 17 jours où j'ai pu randonner lors de notre séjour alpin de 3 semaines pendant l'été 2021.
Le parcours que nous avons emprunté est circuit très connu et très fréquenté de la Vallée de Ceillac. C'est donc sans surprise que nous avons croisé beaucoup de monde tout au long de cette belle journée estivale, d'où les randonneurs qui se trouvent en bas à droite de cette photo. 😂 Les nombreuses photos que j'avais pu voir de ce secteur m'avaient donné très envie d'y venir malgré la foule et je n'ai pas été déçu. Ce fut l'une des plus belles randos de notre été 2021. 😊
La photo a été prise en sortant de la forêt, peu après la traversée du Ruisseau de la Pisse et peu avant l'arrivée au Lac des Prés Soubeyrand (ou plus simplement Lac Miroir).
La montée en forêt du Pied du Mélezet jusqu'à la traversée du Ruisseau de la Pisse était bien raide. Alors cette magnifique vue sur l'imposant Pic des Heuvières, à la sortie de la forêt, a été une merveilleuse récompense des efforts. 🙏😊
Certains ont la chance de pouvoir monter là en automne quand les mélèzes sont jaunes et c'est magnifique. Mais c'est magnifique aussi en été quand les mélèzes sont verts.

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.

Do Skipper butterflies fly during a rain storm? They sit when it is raining making them better subjects. Maybe to protect their wings.
CP 132 finally getting back up to track speed after a random split near Whitby.
After a lengthy back and forth with engineer and conductor they figured an operating lever had just uncoupled cars. After putting their train back together they continued on into Oshawa where they had to take the siding around a broken rail on the main.
