Every now and then, something spurs me to look back through for an older photo. This past week, I have no idea why I was in a folder from 2014, but I'm glad I was. My progression through knowledge of both photography and the railroad has come a long way since I first took this image. At the time, I had no idea how lucky I was with the timing of these 2 trains in Lilly, PA. But with a new perspective, I sure am now in 2023, and I am so stoked the modern edit held up so well, as this scene is no longer possible with both motive power, or the signals.
PT98 gets under way after a brief stop in Moscow, PA. M636 #3643 blasts the long abandoned signal bridge with some of that 251 carbon as the train climbs the Pocono grade.

"Dirty" Picture Challenge: It takes some muddy digging in the marsh to find the perfect oyster dinner for this American Oystercatcher.
We seemed to have a little bit of snow last night. Got the boys to do the impossible task of trying to dig us out of our home. They didn't know I was snapping shots of them and I got to hear them saying " I wonder what they are going to do when we move." I surprised them and said I would be calling them to come over and dig us out.
We have had so much snow this year it feels like a wild goose chase shoveling out every time, sometimes I feel like the bears have the right idea.

Shimmer on the North Sea coast
This warthog was looking for grubs in the parched earth, the birds surrounding her were picking off the small insects she was unearthing at the same time.
I had an idea to shoot through this window that looks into the sunroom. I'm playing around and feeling generally dissatisfied, when my buddy comes in the room to get some attention. He makes me feel a little better, and I get a better shot in the process. Our animal friends are really a blessing.

I gave up digging and called a neighbor who owned a grader. Even he got stuck a few times. This was a very heavy wet snow.
Next in a set of 3 pictures,now finds the Jaguar digging into the spot determined to find what is buried beneath !
I'm still documenting for Challenge #164: People Working
One thing about being a widow is people come to help when you need it. First Jill came with her snowblower. Then Nate and Wendi showed up to get my snowblower working. Raquelle and her daughter walked by and grabbed shovels. Then Raquelle went home and grabbed her snowblower. Five people working with three snowblowers and several snow shovels. Yes, I have wonderful neighbors. And, I couldn't document it as well as I wanted because I had to help with the work.
Since the weather has matched my apathy for shooting anything around here I figure I'll throw up some old junk. Heres one to prove I do shoot the orange borg if its interesting enough. First Coast 501 drags a cut of cars out from the port of Fernandina Beach. I had wanted this shot for a long time after seeing this location on a beach trip as a kid and finally did after a several hour wait!
Sheep herding contest at Iowa State Fair to show off dog obedience. The red markings on them were for identification and are not blood.
The sheep will obey but as I observed them, I noticed they never seem to stare directly at the dog as cattle seem to do.
They seem to be glancing away even though they know the dog is there, because the sheep were at a point where they were staring at the herder with a stick in hand at a gate entrance and are actually focused on him. The dog also has his eyes fixed toward the command and not the sheep.
Tish is so pretty and looks so ladylike, but I do love it when she really gets stuck in...it's a pleasure to watch her enjoying herself. Mind you it would be, as she's not mine and I'm not the one who has to has to clean those paws :-)

Thanks so much for all the support! I really do appreciate it! 😊
I was intrigued by this young woman busily digging a sizeable hole on Skegness Beach whilst using earbuds. Motivational Music ?
This image is not a photographic marvel, but might be of interest for those in other climates. This shows conditions today, Feb 13 2019. The storm wan't quite as major as predicted, but the driveway had already been plowed once and still needs more clearing. It is garbage day, so we are clearing a path to the sidewalk. We are also trying to dig into the snowbank behind Sue as the plow keeps taking less and less of it, thus narrowing the driveway. Neighbours later brought their snowblowers around and cleared the rest of the driveway for us. People tend to get more neighbourly after a storm than at any other time.
