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!!
Pfew ... this train indeed has some delay but here we are , finally , again.
Some inspiration of Silent Hill , a little of Resident Evil , a bit of my own and a touch of the emotions of my heart mixed all together into this image.
I'm really thrilled that I finally managed to get another picture done because the items I'm using are definitely worth the attention.
CX and Hotdog did an AMAZING job on this skirt , it looks like it's made of human skin perhaps? All sewed together with an eye still glaring around at the waist. The item really made me think of Silent Hill and how badly I wanted to make a picture of the known Pyramid head guy , I didn't really find the perfect and quality fitting 'pyramid head' for it.
I hope you all enjoy !

The rising sun finally wins its daily battle with the ground fog. Thanks for the look. Have a good week ahead.
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!
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 : )

I finally made it in Sarasota, Florida without any delay : ) Yesterday was a cloudy today at Turtle beach but today is nice sunny day... a perfect gift for my special day ; )
Have a great day my friends!
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.
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.

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?
Or failure to launch, possibly. We notice more Canada Geese than usual hanging around here even as January approaches. Of course I don't really know birds (or what they're thinking).

PERFECT DAY – LOU REED
Reminiscent of an Italian villa
where once I basked in innocence
terracotta roof tiles warmed in the sun
the Summer-esque air filled with luscious scents
orange blossom flowers and lush French cherry
fruit trees of many different kinds
culinary delights; reimagined recipes
to indulge; to experiment with love in mind
the essential oils of citrus fruit
mingled with those of rosemary leaves
that brushed or crushed in loving hands
memories so sweet are now retrieved
brought to mind and savoured in
this paradisal garden
languishing; eyes half-closed; time slips by
shrugging off Winter; clothes discarding
echoing cries of overhead gulls
birds on the wing and wisps of breeze
curling tendrils of my hair
loosening limbs; relax with ease
the pigeon watches me from his viewpoint
a sentinel of all he surveys
how I love this time of romantic notions
that paint pretty pictures of halcyon days
these moments will be one day cherished
and warm my bones in Winter times
for now I am happy and content
luxuriating; pondering in a world that rhymes
there's nothing more poetic than a wildlife garden
all the sounds and smells of nature raw
no need to try; all is forgiving
it is; just is behind closed doors
a secret garden of many rooms
scented with rose and sumptuous blooms
velvety; sensual; grass-filled meadows
wildflowers; small creatures and delicious echoes
there is no room here for earthly worries
no place for anxious thoughts; concerns
all is forgotten in these sweet moments
nature is heavenly; it's where I learn
to live every moment as if it's my last
to begin again without delay
to laugh; to love; to find a balance
I am enjoying this perfect day.

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.
I feel sorry for sheep, whatever they do, all their lives they are still going to look sheepish! :o)

Some white tail deer shots that BIF delayed. This young dude was looking at me (as I looked at the nesting Pileated woodpecker). I was staying still wearing camouflage, with the rig covered with camp as well (the birds were very shy), so the curious buck got closer and closer...i slowly lowered the lens to get this shot. He was so close that the nose is not in focus. cropped to fit a square. after the camera fired he hightailed it, literally
After a very odd delay, Amtrak 964 is seen east of Colfax climbing the side of a cliff.
The previous day, it was found out that there was an AMT964 6 due to run. This train was a delivery of an Airo set ultimately bound for the Northeast Corridor, as well as a new ALC-42. To my knowledge, this train would be delivering the second set for the Northeast, but this one would come with some challenges. Upon arrival at Siemens, the crew of 964 would find out the Airo set was backwards, and on top of that UP dispatch wasn’t being too lenient. They would have to wait for six trains before heading to Elvas or Haggin to wye the set and rebuild the train properly, but UP wanted to cap the train and have Amtrak take it back to Florin. Eventually, the train got on the move, but since the current crew would be pushing 12 hours a second crew would be picked up in Roseville to take over in the case the crew dies on the law prior to Reno. After all that time, and over another hour later, the train was finally east of Colfax climbing the west slope and moving as fast as they possibly could.
