All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes

Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time

You love me but for all the wrong reasons

Am I somethin' to you and not someone?

'Cause I feel trapped on this pedestal you put me on

You tell me that I'm beautiful but I think that's an understatement

'Cause I am more than what I am to you

You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too

And I won't be confined to your point of view

I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in

'Cause my beauty's from within

CN 517 with a unique and fitting pairing. GTW 6224 lasting for awhile on the Belleville local has been sent to Toronto. An old veteran unit beginning life on the DT&I in 1975. Led by one of the CN Veterans units stepping into the very last bits of sunlight of a cold day.

Here's part two of my flamingo shenanigans! Taken at Hades - Love Island.

Die Hut-Anprobe

The simplicity of this moment struck me as one worth capturing. A cloud sitting over a distant landmass, where the land might fit into the bottom of the cloud.

Sometimes a simple minimalist capture has the capacity to say more than the sum of its parts. Perhaps it is the very essence of the instant itself.

I've got several folders full of photos that have not yet made the flickr "cut". It's not that they're bad images or that they displease me. The problem is that at any given moment, they just don't seem to fit in. And for me, the concept of fitting in is a moving target. What fits today may not fit tomorrow. And when something finally does fit, it may be totally too late. Just like a witty comeback that does not occur until days after someone says something to you. For me it's often a seasonal issue involving, for example, winter photos that seem wholly out of place once spring arrives. I prefer my photostream reflects the current moment, at least visually in terms of time of year. It's one of many limitations I place upon publication of photos that fortunately has no impact on my creation of them.

This photo's moment finally arrived this morning. A sunset view of nascent winter wheat, barely three inches tall, but appearing to tower under a twilight sky. I love seeing the individuality of the thin stalks. They work together to provide a monolith of green when viewed from a distance. Yet up close, each one seems to express its own shape and character. As always, shooting scenes of vibrant color under diminished lighting appeals to my sense of understating the obvious aspect in favor of a lesser one. It's my way of fitting in.

By choice or accident, I'm not sure. But really nice all the same.

Gull says, "Hey Joe! He thinks he's one of us!"

Joe says, "Oh no! Not again!"

Okay... I know my brain is playing way too much... I need to stick to photography. :-)

I found this huge spider and web at the mouth of Peters Creek where it empties into Cook Inlet. The mosquitos were out in force!

It is only fitting that the first CSX train to venture up into the heart of the former MEC, is a Geometry train to measure the track condition.

Here in Greene, ME at the former Maine Poly site, CSXT 9969 with consist heads west towards Rigby for its journey back home having completed several scans of the area. MEC 509 hitches a ride on the rear in a somewhat awkward arrangement, however the train is not scanning on this jaunt.

Already the effects of this have been seen with 10 MPH speedos across the board... fortunately the track gang is well into production just a few miles ahead so a good sign of things to come.

Taken from a moving vehicle; sorry for the bad reflection, we had the windows closed as we passed by this building and it caught my attention. It's a fun adjustment solution.

The Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) & the fly - Biolab Road, Canaveral National Seashore, Merritt Island, Titusville, Florida

Sorry to say, I can't ID the species of fly.

Maybe next time! LOL

"Biker"?, you say . . .

Well, that's because of the featherless green skin that these guys have on top of their heads, kinda reminds me of the tight fitting black helmets some of my old biker buds used wear. However, Spoonies don't need no stinking goggles, with the spiffy orange nictitating membrane that covers their eyes.

Well that, and how my father painted his Indian motorcycle PINK, after he returned home from WWII.

Capture Notes

(i.e. The full story of this capture).

'Turns out this guy was preening its back feathers and when it abruptly turned forward and shook its head, and I ripped a burst the second it did that. It seems this guy ran into the fly while preening its feathers, and decided to get rid of the fly once and for all by eating it!

This is a rework of the 2019 capture with an open eye and a blue water BG added. Click on Hemet Head for a look at the original (out of the box) closed eye capture.

FYI - I borrowed the open eye from a subsequent capture in the series after he had disposed of the fly. It seems for these guys, their automatic pilot closes their eyes when they capture critters with their bill.

GN 3443 has found a new life in the town of Burlington, IA working for the Burlington Junction Railway doing transloading and BNSF interchange runs. This is a fitting place for this locomotive since the "Burlington" in Burlington Northern refers to this town in Iowa.
