A colorful and inviting place to sit and take in all the beauty surrounding you with the colors of spring!
A YN2 AC44 leads CN train U703 westbound over the Belvidere Road overpass on the north side of Genoa, IL. This train is heading to one of almost a dozen ethanol plants CN serves in Iowa that loads unit trains. Business has grown on the former Chicago Central in the past few years and it's great to see the additional traffic running on the line.
I returned to one of my favourite locations earlier this month and managed to get this. Nothing exactly exciting about the subject, but I like the overall image.

We were excited to spot a pair of Evening Grosbeaks in our back yard and not wanting to scare them away I opened a window and was able to take a few shots. This is larger than I'd prefer to post the photo but in the haste I never thought to reduce the zoom on the camera and the bird sitting only a few feet away. Interestingly, the weather was misting rain and cloudy but the photo was taken at 100 iso? I always have the camera set to 'auto iso' which in those conditions would likely have read 3200 or so. Also the photos on the camera monitor were totally black so this was lightened using a large adjustment in post editing exposure compensation. After adjusting the camera setting it worked again but the blue jays had by then bothered the grosbeaks enough that they left. We did see them again briefly yesterday so hopefully they will visit on a sunny day.
Thank you for viewing.
Well, it did not exactly look like this, but I like the exaggeration. The clouds in front of the moon were very stark, much more so than the phone captured. So the filter, while exaggerating the effect, is not completely without merit. It was quite the sight to behold in person!
the last shot I took from the same evening.
little info: those lights in the distance are from Robben Island. Once a prison for political prisoners, now a tourist attraction for anyone keen on visiting the cell of Madiba,
the courageous Mr Nelson Mandela.

Metra F40PH 155 "The City of Highland Park" charges westbound into the late afternoon sun towards the last stop of the UP West line at Elburn, but not before making a short stop at La Fox only a mile or two away.
It is always amazing to be among a flock of these birds. Although they are very likely to flush en masse if they are spooked, people (or at least this person) don’t seem to alarm them - in fact, they came very close to me (I was alone both mornings) on several occasions. They are more curious than frightened, and that curiosity often makes for some interesting poses. This bird was seen very early on a day that registered -23 as I drove up to the woods.
