Reminds me of a peacock I saw in 1967, but that's another story. This one was in our front yard today.
The current hot trend on social media right now is posting throwbacks to 2016, which doesn't seem like it can already be a decade in the past. So for a Friday Flashback here's one pulled out of the archives and re-scanned from a decade ago today. Iowa Pacific in conjunction with the Memphis NRHS had teamed up to run a public excursion billed as the "City of Grenada" from Batesville to Grenada and back over their Grenada Railway. A perfectly-matched passenger train in Illinois Central colors running over the former IC passenger main in Mississippi sounded like a great time, so H-bob-omb, jlscott3178, and myself all made the trip over to the Magnolia State for the festivities. Here a few miles into the run south, Iowa Pacific 515 is disguised up as the "IC 4035" as it leads the special through a rural piney-woods crossing near Enid. Seemed like every other railfan in the south also showed up that weekend, and this was the only spot we had to ourselves the entire day.
This was a really fun day even with the large crowds, but I think we all had the thought that it wasn't likely to be repeated. That unfortunately turned out to be the case, as within a few years Ed Ellis' house of cards operation fully collapsed and Iowa Pacific went belly-up and declared bankruptcy in 2021. Rolling stock was auctioned off, and at least the leading E8 here found a good home at the Illinois Railway Museum. Likewise operation of the Grenada Railroad was transferred to the now-Pinsly Corporation, and business seems to be good on the reorganized Grenada Railway. But there will probably never be another chocolate and orange passenger train gracing the former route of the Panama Limited.
... to Anise's farm stay with friends in August. Notice how dry the grass was. The farm owner recently sent me these pictures. Wish I had been there to see them together!
Heading outside again, here's a nice treat: this exterior photo was taken not by me, but rather by a group (evidently) called BGH Photography... and it shows the store in the middle of its implementation of PFresh, back in 2010! (If the date beneath the BGH logo is to be believed, of course. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact date this construction took place, but I do very much remember the work taking place on the interior of the store, including quite a bit of plastic sheeting and wood walls in the front right corner of the store where that fresh produce department now stands!)
EDIT: Yep, 2010 is right! Thanks to AFB in the comments, as well as flickr for teasing out an April 18, 2010 photography date for this image.
This shot shows the “open during construction” banner that Target had posted on the outside of the building, as well as the large produce decals that were placed in the upper windows of the vestibule to advertise the new department. I thought that this would be a cool pic to include in today's set, especially since... (cont.)

"No! Not again!" (real) Spider-Man yells... "Yes... let us see what your past had held." The Dealer states. "Hey! Spider-...Boy! Stop that guy!" The owner of the wrestling ring demands... "Sorry... Not my problem." (past) Spidey states... "Thanks, kid." The criminal thanks... A loud bang occurs... "NO!!!!!!!" (real) Spider-Man screams.

This is a picture of My Brother Ady Taken 12 years ago when I lived in England. We used to go fishing every weekend. I've not seen him nor my other family members for 7 years, we facebook and chat on the phone once in a while, but its so expensive to get home now. Theres not a day go by that I dont think about it and then Im reminded by the mess the goverment has made. I miss you Bro.
I happen to catch a lady at the far end of the hall during one of my exposures. Inside the church of Jeronymo aka "Jerónimos Monastery". This is a tighter view of "Jeronymo Monastery HDR. Lisbon.
Fooling around in photoshop to create this image. I started with the background photo of Waimanalo on the island of Oahu in Hawaii taken from inside an old World War II pillbox above Makapu'u Beach Park. The photo of the plane was taken at the 2012 Kaneohe Bay Air Show and is of a U.S. Navy SNJ (AT-6). I brought the two photos together in photoshop to produce what you see above.

Me hypnotized in a black turtleneck a couple of years ago. The eyes are open but I’m in.a deep hypnotic sleep.
Whenever Maggie came across water deep enough she would stick her face under it and continue to walk forward. Her version of scuba diving I guess. This behaviour lasted her entire life.
We are on an eastbaound on UP's Milwaukee sub. Most CP trains operate between CP control point A20 and Bryn Mahr on the UP. We are meeting a UP local shoving back to do some work. 2006-07
These sailboats and paddleboats have been absent in the Summertime at the Lake since the Covid years! Last week, I saw a delivery of new paddleboats and I have been told that they will be making their comeback this Memorial Day Weekend!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!

His name was "Raymond Crock"... Some called him "The Crocodile". His family practically owned the school... He was so rich. But, he commonly abused his power. Almost killing kids, and just throwing money at them so he wouldn't get arrested. So, we went after him. So all this sh#t could stop happening... But... something terrible happened.

The image shows a corner of what appears to be a vintage shop or cafe.
The focal point is a dark brown wooden cabinet with glass doors, containing various items such as old records or papers. On top sits a vintage karaoke machine. Above the cabinet, a glass-fronted display case holds a collection of beer bottles. To the right of the cabinet, a small, dark-colored Red Bull mini-fridge rests on a simple wooden stool.
The walls are aged, with visible cracks and imperfections, contributing to an overall vintage or retro aesthetic. Plants are visible, adding a touch of life to the space. A "No Smoking" sign is prominently displayed. The overall mood is dark, moody, and nostalgic, suggesting a feeling of history and perhaps slow, quiet contemplation. The scene suggests a place that blends old and new, with the modern mini-fridge contrasting nicely against the vintage furniture and decor.
