In the depts of the Bensenville industrial district, MARC E9AM 91, still painted in its Burlington Northern "Hockey Stick" livery, sits in storage with a cut of retired Metra bi-level coaches in an industrial lead that splits off of the CPKC Northwest Bridge Subdivision behind Ace Metal Crafts Company. Even though this locomotive may look like a pile of vandalized rust now, MARC 91 was built nearby in the EMD LaGrange plant as CB&Q E8A 9973 in August 1953 as one of the many striking streamliners pumped out of the plant by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. The E8As powered passenger trains throughout the Burlington system until the Burlington Northern merger in 1970, and still served the BN and Amtrak on both freight and passenger service up into their rebuilds in the late 1970s by Morrison-Knudsen. CB&Q 9973, now BN 9973, was rebuilt by MK in May 1978 at their Boise shops into BN E9AM 9907, and operated on the then newly formed RTA commuter railroad, later Metra, along with the other E9AMs where they gained their fame running high-speed passenger trains on the Racetrack around the Chicago area in a flashy "Hockey Stick" livery with the iconic candy cane stripes on the nose. The E9AMs were finally retired in 1992 after a successful 4 decades of service, and were sent to Maryland to work on the MARC; a long ways from home rails. BN 9907 was renumbered to MARC 67, and worked around the MARC system up into the 1990s and early 2000s before getting replaced by newer up-to-date power. A few of the E9AMs, including the now renumbered MARC 91, ended up back in the Chicago area. Unfortunately, MARC 91 has since been completely gutted, and years of neglect has caused a horrible amount of corrosion to the body. Vandals have also damaged the locomotive throughout its years sitting in Bensenville. Although MARC 91 has miraculously made its way back to home territory, MARC 91's life has essentially came to an end sitting as a shell of its former self just a stone toss away from where it all began.

Or is it half-empty?
A little shot glass with water.
Combined with a single light beam in darkness it created lovely shadows and colors.

És ben curiós. En principi d'aquesta primavera vaig sortir a comprar i a fer alguna foto, aquesta va ser la primera, ara i aquí la poso l'ultima, a veure si m'animo una mica i amb temps en vaig a fer mes.
Son les primeres noves fulles d'un petit roser encara sense roses. Em va encuriosir el fet que les fulles més tendres tinguessin un color com vermellós i que en mica en mica el verd anés prenen força des del mig.
Ara ja començo a esperar que surtin les roses, si ara plou, tot i que ne ens plau massa en poden sortir de ben boniques i ofenoses i no em quedarà cap més remei que canviar d'estar d'ànim.
The pink moon is a nod to the bountiful blooming flowers and trees that the spring weather brings. In particular, the pink moon gets its name from a hot pink wildflower, Phlox subulata, that grows in a thick mat of vibrant foliage, commonly referred to as creeping phlox, moss phlox or moss pink.

This Lego wedding cake holds two big memories for me. Growing up, my best friend from grade school and I played with Legos all the way into our college years. As you can likely tell, these are the classic Legos before they came out with the themed kits. This cake reminds me of my childhood friend and the good times we had together.
He was the Best Man in my wedding and used his collection of Legos to build this cake to present to my wife and I on our rehearsal dinner night. This cake is also a lasting memory and symbol of our wedding day and marriage.
This cake has been on display in our home every day for the last 34 years (35 years this November).

The Wayfarer's Walk, Alresford, Hampshire
We've done this walk many times with friends and pass this cottage built over the River Alre. It's truly a picture postcard shot, but I've never been in the right place at the right time with the camera. It's just another grabbed shot again, but the light meandering along the river and up the walls of the cottage was as good as I've seen so too good a chance to pass. From our previous visits, I could never find any details about this cottage until now... I've just noticed when processing this image that it's called the "Fulling Mill" and by the powers of Google...
The Fulling Mill across the River Alre dates from the 13th century. It is now a private house and it was saved from dereliction in 1951 when it was renovated and the now beautiful garden laid out. It had become derelict having fallen into disuse in the 19th century when the cloth industry established large mills to undertake an increasingly mechanised process taking all of the business from established local mills.
The fulling of cloth is a process to tighten and shrink the cloth into a closely woven product. In early times the pressing and kneading was done by human feet, in shallow streams, using fullers earth. By medieval times water power was being used to drive hammers to do the work once done by human feet. The water mills constructed for this purposes were known as fulling mills and for centuries the surrounding area resounded to the hammering of the fulling stocks as they prepared the cloth.

The middle of August full moon is also called the Green Corn Moon, the Grain Moon, The Red Moon and the Dog Moon.
