The wind finally died down enough to launch my new Phantom 3 Pro drone, but the weather was still pretty cloudy. Generally happy with the result though.

Now it can be officially "Spring" with our bashful tulips finally peeking! Apparently not harmed by Saturday's snowfall, the colors are always such a joy after months of winter white!

After being stopped for a while, CSX Y123 heads east on the CN South Bend Subdivision with a BNSF ES44DC in Munster
St. Marx Cemetery is a cemetery in the Landstraße district of Vienna, used from 1784 until 1874.
It's a good place for bad lenses. Holga lens on the Sony NEX 5N, Nikkor 28 F3.5 with Nikon F/Fuji X Tilt Adapter on the Fuji X-T1 and Lensbaby Sweet 35 on the Nikon D800 - never exploited those lenses so extensively.
Will return soon.

In February, we planned our annual Ski and Snowboard trip. The last years, it was a normal trip for me, because living in Switzerland, I visited the Alps several times. But now, back, living in northern Germany, it is a special event for me and feels like coming home… So, I took my time and spend several hours to find a perfect spot for a great shot… thinking… finally back...

On the 27th of February 2022, RailPower’s CLF4 and 4486 and 4464 are seen at the Braidwood Road Bridge in Goulburn as they do some movements to get the carriages into Platform 3
After being up on the hill for a couple hours (actually pretty relaxing after being in the truck for the better part of two days) our target train snaked through the canyon with 90-some cars, 30 of which were ballast cars to be dropped off at Logan for a rock train a couple of days hence.
As advertised, SD45 382 was second out. This is the last operating SD45 on the MRL right now, although others are stored serviceable. Sunlight was muted at best but it was still an amazing scene.
At last finally a photo of the first B7 in Lothian's fleet. Whenever I need a photo of a 21 somewhere I always seem to go to Crewe Toll as it is quite easy. Autumn is becoming to show in the trees wjich always makes nice photos. Here is the next B7 off my list Lothian Buses 751 seen on a service 21 to the Gyle Centre.
B7s left to capture: 759, 770, 791, 794, 803 (804 has unfortuantly been sold to CT Plus in Leeds)
Dallas received rain today. Pretty impressive since we haven't had rain for ages. The rain also brought very high winds, lightning & hail. No damage in my area, but it made for an exciting commute home.
I was suprised when I saw one of two Edinburgh tours being used at the open day was 520 but also relieved that I could finally get a photo of 520 befores she goes for good.
Some of you may recall her from a previous post of mine
:-)
The sticker on the traffic light says: GO.
Ingrid and Ruby are finally complete! I painted them some days ago...
I am really happy with the result!
I love Ingid's face up but I will propably redo Ruby's in the future cause I want it a little more dark...
Sorry for the blurry photo, I didnt have time to take good pics...

The WNYP Emporium turn is finally underway with an MLW M630 leading one of the new General Electric AC6000 units that will eventually replace the Bigs on the WNYP.
I finally managed to come across a Wisconsin Northern train, which is weird considering the zero effort I’ve put in to it… Happenstance found us crossing paths with this southbound tied down for the holiday weekend outside New Auburn Wi. This former Reserve Mining sd38-2 looks pretty nice in its MNS inspired Progressive Rail paint scheme. Might just need to get off my ass this spring and make an actual effort to catch these guys in action.
The newlyweds loved it. The mother of the bride used to be a quilter but due to cancer had to stop sewing. She felt all brides needed a quilt to start their marriage and was sad that the new couple wouldn't have a quilt, not knowing that one was in the works! We didn't know the full story when we decided to give them a quilt--it was just meant to be, I suppose.
After almost 10 months of all GEs on the BNSF main, I was pleasantly surprised to finally see an EMD SD70ACe, no. 8499 on the point of this westbound stacker heading through Corona, CA.
Some clouds rolled through Friday evening, unfortunately with scant rain showers. The dry spell continues for much of the West.
The last 3 of the LBD and seams series (honest!). Couldn't resist the leg show to be honest, but a gurl has to show off sometimes!
New pics next month! XX
Please no group invites or large graphics ~ thanks!
A lot of frogs were mating the last week in my ponds. It finally paid off ; the ponds are loaded with frog spawn.
The last two I've ordered from Amazon, for now 😆 especially my most wanted, Top Model Barbie!! Found her for a decent price and love everything about her
Also found this Texas University Ken for a cheap price, might have to order more cause he's going to be a body donor for some of my Model Muse guys 😉
Now hopefully I don't go all out, there's more stuff on there I want to order but I have to watch out for money...if you know what I mean...😂😂
......the way you speak to yourself matters the most.
Most unhappiness in my life is due to the fact that I was listening to myself instead of talking to myself.
Talking to myself about the things I have to be grateful for, fills my mind with uplifting thoughts that buoy spirits.
Yes - I choose to be an optimist: living proof that anyone can be.
So, if you don't understand what I'm saying, I'm talking to myself, again. That's OK, practice makes perfect.
I wish all my friends a happy and prosperous 2021!

PS - The image is a photo of me holding my smartphone just moments after taking a selfie. I don't know about you, but I like to see the person I'm talking to.
...my first pics of a Cooper's Hawk this season.
Good morning everyone. And you guessed it...back to raptors for Feathery Friday. Featured today is a juvenile Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii). Been trying all winter to get a pic of a Cooper's with no success until this bird landed unexpectedly in my favorite Hawthorn tree, and practically in my lap.
It landed so close I had all I could do to keep my hand from shaking as I tried to dial back the focal length on my zoom lens without any sudden movement that would startled it causing it to fly off. When it comes to hawks, none are as wary or skitterish as the Cooper's.
As for this juvenile Cooper's, it looks a lot like a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. The biggest difference is size, which while you can't judge here in these pics, the Cooper's is slightly smaller. Another noticeable feature is that the Cooper's is more slender and streamlined than the Red-shouldered Hawk, which tends to be stalky and compact. Plus the Cooper's has a longer and more distinctive tail.
So you'll know, after I got about a half dozen pics the bird flew away, but while perched it never knew I was there nearby in my hiding place. And I'm still hoping to get a pic of an adult this winter...albeit they are extremely cautious birds and rarely ever give you a good photo opportunity.
As always, please don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this beautiful accipiter.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.
