Finally got time to get the camera out. Not much editing - curves (in lab space) and sharpening (USM on light channel) and then some additional sharpening in RGB after resizing. Only a few more weeks and then hope to do some serious flickering (:
Looks like the Cherry tree came out later this year - last year it bloomed March 25 and was almost done (4 day difference so close). Here it is then:
Big wet flakes were falling this morning, but by late afternoon it was gone. Now it's all rain (again).
I've been chasing thunderstorms all summer with no luck in Finland but turns out patience is a virtue and it paid off. Captured in Hailuoto, Finland.
Several Shots of the Cotton Harvest which finally got underway here yesterday. None of us can remember the cotton being in the field this late. The problem has been rain. It's just been too wet to get the big Cotton Harvesters into the fields.

... a few minutes after my last upload was taken (in first comment), there happend a tough, nosiy fight under a overhanging tree on the riverbank.
It went on for about 2 minutes with a lot of splashing and roaring, but it was impossible to see anything of this action because of the dense tree.
After that, there was a moment of silence and then we saw the successful hunter dragging a caiman out of the water,
finally disappearing with his hard earned breakfast in the adjoining forest.
Part 30 and last part of a series of pictures of the hard job of a Jaguar, trying to get his breakfast ...
If you want to see the previous pictures of that little story in chronological order, have a look at my Jaguar Morning-Album.
Thanks for your interest and I hope you could feel some of the thrill we experienced while watching this fantastic jaguar for such a long time.
Have a good start to the weekend!
made it in one piece to North Carolina, im freaking knackered, dog is knackered, so much to do , but totally worth it ! Another day though and I should be right as rain regardless of jet lag !

Yessss eindelijk heb ik ze gezien, moet wel tot het uiterste inzoomen dus ze zijn niet niet super scherp, maar dat boeit me niet :-)), ik heb ze erop staan :-))
ik loop daar nog wel eens voor de zonsopkomst, en steeds krijg ik daar de opmerkingen van wandelaars die de hond uitlaten of joggers, "je bent te laat de reetjes zijn al weer weg", wel dit keer had ik geluk, zo gaaf dit te zien
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yessss finally I saw them, have to zoom in to the limit so they are not super sharp, but I don't care :-)), I have them on it :-))
I still walk there, at sunrise, and I keep getting the comments from walkers who walk the dog or joggers, "you are too late the deer are already gone", well this time I was lucky, so cool this to see
Finally, a break in the storm and Atticus and I headed for the trails. Not a soul around and we had a blast! I will admit though, that he likes the white stuff more than me. Rarely do I take selfies but was experimenting with my IPhone mini tripod. Pretty cool gadget.
Having trailed every time I had ever seen it, we finally got the 355 on point and even in sun wooohooo, Mind you poor dispatcher calls would kill any other sunny shots of it leading on the main after this shot but het I guess it is what it is.
We have been enjoying some very welcome sunshine, though no real warmth as yet since the winds have mostly been off the sea. Yesterday, whilst much of the UK was enjoying 18-20C, it was 10C here! But we did have more hours of sunshine than anyone else!
However the sun has been bringing the hedgerows and blossom trees to life.
Finally getting some color here in New Jersey and what better place to see some than Waterloo Village.
"The Peter D. Smith house was erected in 1871, the same year Peter, 26, was married. The house overlooks the village and has a sweeping view of the Musconetcong River and Morris Canal."
"...considered to be the most architecturally significant building in the village. Located on top of a rise of land on the north side of the old Waterloo Road, the Peter D. Smith house is a three-story wood-framed dwelling designed in the Second Empire style of architecture."

With 393 and 394 running during the day due to a bridge washout in Quebec, the options for getting pictures of them increased significantly. Longer days of course meant being able to chase 393 further west, but the bridge at Gillead was always in the shadow. Finally, after setting the clocks forwards, getting some sun on 393 was possible. Today's train consisted of the 803, 3803, 6029, 3105 and 19 cars.
"Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa."
I was so jealous for the past several days of all the people posting pictures of Varied Thrushes and saying how many they had in their yards. Yesterday afternoon I finally had 2 show up! I was quite excited! They were back first thing this morning and were here throughout the entire day. At one point I think I had 6!
I finally got to visit an old schoolhouse I had been wanting see for a long time now....at the wrong time of the year of course.The overgrowth was blocking some of the old beauty,but the good thing was she was still standing.For some reason when this old school was closed(in the '50s likely) it was never purchased for use as a personal residence.It certainly has some interesting details.Now its ready for the bulldozer and a match. The chimney collapsed years ago and has now fell thru the rotting roof.The first floor is too unstable to walk on though I was able to walk thru the basement and admire the fine wood staircase that leads up to that rotting first floor.Inscription above the door says it was built in 1923...we'll see if the place is still around on its 100th birthday...
Title refers to the fact that the school lies in sparsely populated Texas Township in Dewitt Co. in central Illinois....
The sunsets have been eluding me lately. Finally I got some clouds to cooperate and give me a fine ending to the day.
We finally have enough snow to get snowshoes on the trail and it was a great way to enjoy a brisk winter day. Had to be careful, though - lot's of rocks, holes, and crevices in this area. Using hiking poles was often a must for testing deeper snow ahead. Blue side trail blazes (see one here?) were also much easier to follow as compared to the white version of the main trail, which were frequently difficult to see in the snowy trees. In fact, we missed a turn at one point and had to hunt around for it.
