A rare un-rebuilt SD70MAC leads southbound doublestack train Q203 into the hole at North Cairo amidst freshly fallen powder. Still is extremely weird to call these once ubiquitous wide-nosed EMDs "rare", but considering this is the first one I have photographed in three years with most on the CSX roster either stored or rebuilt, it is what it is...

I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.
It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!
Der First ist ein Bergrücken als Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung. Wikipedia
KCS manifest MSHSZ runs through the Tower 87 interlocking at the east end of UP's Englewood Yard. The end of the Englewood hump can be seen at the top right. 1/2/2019
There is nothing quite as encouraging as a walk on the beach at dawn. The cold air, the magical sky, the anticipation of a new day being revealed ... it's like an energy drink for the soul!
This is what an inch and a half of snow looks like when it turns out to be almost five inches.
The only barn in our immediate area and it's owned by Cook Country.......so I guess one could say that I own a piece of this property in paying county taxes.......
I took this "promo" shot for Canibeat's first event they are holding.
Layered a few shots, the sky is legit, it was right before a pretty heavy storm.
here's a link to the post where you can find information about this event:
Former SP GP9R 3835 sits nose to nose with former IC GP10 8258 in the scrap line at NRE in Silvis, IL.
While the 8258 is still marked for Illinois Central on the sides, it has a faded Chicago Central green diamond logo on the nose!

Looking across from Friar's Cragg with the early morning sun just touching the top of Catbells. Three shots taken then stitched together in PS. A magical morning on Derwentwater last Sunday during our three day visit. Explore

Just received my first exhibit showing some of my bald eagle photography at the Murchison Performing Arts Center at UNT, sponsored by the Greater Denton Arts Council. It's an honor to be selected. The show will continue through May 2022. There is also an online exhibit at dentonarts.com/lockwood for those of you who are not local to the DFW area. The photographs are 20x30 inches on metal. A portion of all proceeds go to the Greater Denton Arts Council, and I am donating 100% of the show's profits to a scholarship endowment fund to support photography students at UNT.
Many of you asked me how many newest little one was doing. Liat was born in March and has been a never ending source of light and joy in our family this year. This is her first Autumn and she loves it! Sitting in the leaves like this is one of her favorite things to do. Sneaking sips of Mommy’s cider is another favorite and snuggling on the front porch enjoying the cooler weather is tops of course ;)

I was excited to see the first butterfly visit my backyard, a black swallowtail. They are tricky to photograph, as their wings never stop fluttering. He or she was tending to the Blue Boa agastache plant on my deck. The windy conditions made it tricky to get a decent photo.

Too much light pollution where I live (and in most of Belgium) to get a picture of the Milky Way. So, I thought I'd draw it. First attempt.
This Itoh peony gets its name ‘First Arrival’ as it is one of the first hybrid peonies to bloom in the year. This is a semi-double flower variety of peony that has crinkly lavender-pink flowers.
The exquisite blossoms gradually become redder closer to the center of the flower. The center of the Itoh peony flower looks like a magenta and yellow-colored spiky ball. These large flowers can be as many as 40 on each plant with each one measuring around 8” (20 cm) across.
The moment of the first snow. There is always something magical about the first snow and how it lights up the landscape. The snow has all now melted, but I also love the darkness and the mood of this season.
Thanks to Flickr for featuring my work on this platform!
Back from the photo workshop at Iceland. What a fantastic place for photography - different weather and landscape every 10 minutes during the trip. Trying to sort my impressions to share with you. Next couple of days will be colour, and the next period will be b&w, mostly from the numerous different waterfalls that we visited. And finally some shots on film, waiting for the lab to do their job. Many thanks to Jay, John, Jarad, Mike and Malcolm for making this a memorable trip.
We were parked next to the main waterhole at Nxai Pan watching all sorts of antelope, buffalo, zebras, etc. all gathered around, when we saw this lion pop up.
We never got a good look at what she was eating, because it was caked in mud, but it was probably a springbok or antelope.
Three other lions showed up later (more pictures to come).

I'm not saying that my photographs are the best, nor saying that I'm pro or anything ! All I want from photography is to fulfill my desire to go out and take pictures because this is the way I find my self and feeling that I really do exist; it's through art that I truly exist.

Over the last month, Mallard ducklings and Canada goslings are everywhere in Lincoln Park. Fun to watch the behavior as they'll tend to stray but mom just gives a little sound and they all come right back to her. Eventually these ducklings will be able to fly in a group at up to 55 mph and could live to be as old as 27 years. 05/13/13.
