We had our first snow of the season yesterday, with a little more overnight. This shot is from this morning with the draggers out for scallops (and maybe urchins?).

A Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) drags his tail as he lands at White ock Lake near Dallas, Texas. Unlike ducks, cormorants’ feathers are not very waterproof. While having water resistant feathers protects a bird’s body from getting soaked, this oily coating isn’t good for diving. Cormorants’ feathers instead get waterlogged, allowing the bird to sink and dive more efficiently. Their solid bodies and dense bones also contribute to their excellent diving skills. While pros at swimming, the cormorants’ waterlogged feathers often make it look as if they are struggling in water. They often have just their faces and necks above the water’s surface and, after a dip, perch in trees or sit on rocks with their wings open to dry their feathers in the sun. Double-crested cormorants can dive to depths of 25 feet. Some cormorant species can reportedly dive to an astounding depth of 150 feet, which makes them some of the deepest diving birds around.

It was one of those mornings when you are glad you made the decision to drag yourself out of bed and capture the sunrise over Sydney Harbour.
Good things to think about when life feels "like a drag" :
1. “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. “ ~ Roosevelt
2. “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?” ~ Robert Kennedy
3. “If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Van Gogh
4. “I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star, I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.” Milton Berle
5. “It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up again.” Vince Lombardi
6. “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” Helen Keller
7. “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” Clara Barton
8. “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. “ Harriet B Stowe
9. “If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Mary Pickford
10. “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
11. “The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.” Shakespeare
12. “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
13. “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Solomon; Proverbs 12:25
14. “… fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” God; Isaiah 41:10

This is the first time I've taken a photograph here since the palisade fencing went up last year. It's not as good now, but at least a shot is still on.
No photo album documenting operations at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum would be complete without photos of this most famous member of the museum crew. This guy first turned up in the East Ely engine house as a kitten in 2008. Whether an orphan or a stray, the crew noticed him around and eventually took pity on the little guy. They fed him and eventually adopted him, taking him to the vets for shots and getting him neutered. He was initially named "Dirtball or Dirtbag", simply because of his obviously filthy appearance. Later, his name was shortened to simply "Dirt."
For years, he quietly existed as the crew's private pet until one day, someone got the idea to show him off on social media, and a star was born. There was a point in time when people, who really didn't care about railroads, would tune into Facebook and other social media outlets to see the many cool photos of him. He even became a sort of spokeskitty for safety topics.
I first encountered him during a 2015 winter photo shoot. Although not the world's friendliest cat, he was kind enough to pose for pictures. I wasn't about to drag him around and pose him with steam engines as some apparently did. I guess I just felt sorry for the little guy as cats are habitual groomers and licking all of that grime off his fur could not have been good for him. That said, despite the dangerous environment, he lived for an amazing 15 years, passing in 2023. Other cats have since taken on his role. He certainly had mastered the look of an engine house cat.
