A CN foremen (or signal maintainer?) pauses to exchange a wave with 568, who is leaving Stratford on his way to serve the Agro-Mart at CN Kellys.
Another food exchange with the young. The fastest juvenile to react will get the bird. I love how parents make it difficult with each passing day for the practice. They also like to keep a distance in order to prevent a mid air collision with an over-zealous juvenile.... those young talons are lethal

There is quite a difference in winter versus the warm months in observing the eating habits of pheasants. In the summer time unless you are out very early in the mornings or happen to catch them searching for bits of gravel to serve as grit to help their digestion, pheasants often are more hidden as they seek things to eat. They normally have a menu with more entries on it than they do during the winter.
The phrase āscratching out a livingā goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers āscratchedā the land using more primitive tools.
By the 18th-19th centuries, the use of the phrase gained uses beyond that of farming to include anyone who was barely making ends meet in their day to day struggle.
Jump ahead until today and the phrase applies to a broad spectrum of normally physically hard, low paying jobs or an unstable work life.
I grew up in an era when there were only a few government help agencies and can well remember my folks talking about people around them during the Depression and beyond who spent many years on community āpoor farmsā.
Poor farms were quite prevalent at one time in the US and folks who were unable to work due to age, disability or other factors were housed and fed in exchange for helping to produce food and maintain a farm. Local governments ran the farms as they were considered a cost-effective way to care for the needy rather than simply doling out monies to individuals.
It carried negative connotations for participants, particularly because they were labeled āinmates.ā
Poor farms gradually petered out by the middle of last century with many in Minnesota closing in the 1930s due to government programs starting up such as Social Security in 1935 and the growing prevalence of nursing homes.

The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
Corn Exchange, Manchester is a grade II listed building in Manchester, England. The building was originally used as a corn exchange and was previously named the Corn & Produce Exchange, and subsequently The Triangle.

On a typical early June afternoon a cruise train returns to Seward after exchanging passengers at the Alaska Railroad Depot at the Ted Stevens International Airport. The Northbound leg of this trip was all passengers ending their stay in Alaska while the southbound is all passengers just beginning their trip in Alaska. The railroad spends a fair amount of time along Turnagain Arm as they approach Brookman in this view.
The Bolsa de Madrid was officially founded in 1831. It is housed in a historic nineteenth-century building.

Rover School is in session...
In Basic Rover Operations 101, one of the first skills we must master is the use of the Grabber. This clawed implement provides a handy way to interact with the environment without needing to leave the comfort of your plush upholstered pilot's chair or risk contamination from unknown flora or fauna.
Here some PinkTron Exchange Students pass the test with a demonstration of their Grabber prowess. (Don't worry, the Daisy Gazer student volunteer was unharmed in the demonstration.)

'Labyrinth- Back in Port (Maeve and Dante)'
"You are a raven. Ravens are wild creatures and shouldn't be kept in cages."
"...you are the captain of my heart, and I would follow you anywhere."
Dante Frey
(Written by Corry)
"'Cause every time we touch
I feel this static
And every time we kiss
I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side"

Once upon a time Vin and I had started a roleplay world inspired by Jim Henson's Labyrinth; in particular what happened AFTERWARDS. We've decided to create the characters that inhabited this world of the Underground and its King/Queendoms, and bring them to life. It all started with Jareth and Sarah's children and their epic love stories...and it has epically continued on and on through the generations.
What this world means to Vin and me...it is more than words can say. We put our souls into this world and what it represents. But it is our pleasure and excitement to be able to bring them to life.
Being the third child of the High Queen Amalie and Prince Ciaran, Maeve knew at a young age that she was not destined to rule the Underground. She was a princess who liked to play in the mud and play 'pirates' which earned her the nickname: Captain Parrot.
As a little girl, Maeve was responsible for bringing her would-be-uncle Aric (who she dubbed 'Uncle Mister Aric Lion Man') from the human world to the Underground after she did a magic spell to find "the person who is going to make Uncle Corry the happiest!"
It would be years later that the seafaring captain and prince: Dante Frey who offered her the opportunity to join his crew on his bounty hunter/cargo ship: Starfish for a few months' time. It was the chance of adventure that she craved away from the Labyrinth and Goblin City! Little did she know this would be only be the beginning!
Maeve flourished and blossomed during her time at sea. She quickly found herself fitting in with the crew and being quite comfortable away from the comforts of her castle home. And as her love for the sea grew, so did her feelings for the roguish prince who captained the Starfish. And as it turned out, the feelings were very mutual...
Dante could see Maeve wanted more out of life than to be stuck in the castle; something he understood all too well. Having given up his own chance to be a king in exchange for his chosen life as a ship's captain, Dante could see that Maeve was cut from the same cloth.
And as he watched her quickly achieve her goals and dreams and saw how she truly came into herself, he began to fall in love with her. By the time Maeve was due to return home, neither of them wanted to say goodbye...but say goodbye they did.
Though it wasn't long before they were reunited again and Dante declared his love for Maeve; inviting her to join him on the Starfish until the end of their days. Maeve happily joined her beloved captain and truly lived her best life.
Dante and Maeve were among the most intimidating and fiercest fighters of their time and made sure the seas they loved were safe for the inhabitants of the Underground; a passion which passed onto their daughter and future generations of seafaring Freys to come.
Thank you to my husband Vin for creating this pose for us! Keep an eye out for more Labyrinth RP inspired pictures to come!
