.....the guest being the tiny, interesting creature at the very top - not sure what he is other than tiny, for that isn't a large flower.

 

Blue Aquilegia and guest.

American golden finch drinking ice water in my backyard

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

 

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

 

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

 

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

 

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

 

by Rumi

“The best surprise is no surprise.”

The Guest House

 

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

 

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

 

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

 

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

 

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

A pair of new ALC-42s lead Amtrak train 7 in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, on their way to Seattle. Ongoing teething issues with the new units on previous trips west from Chicago has prompted Amtrak to add a non-revenue car behind the power to house Siemens personnel so they can keep an eye on the locomotives this time.

Many Thanks for all your Comments and Faves...

~ You may not recall the moment that you asked me in

But your invitation was clear

You'll pretend you've never met me but it's far to late

Now I'm here...

 

I'm the face you hoped you'd never see

But always knew you would

I'm the one thing you knew you shouldn't do

But did because you could

 

I'm the evil in your bloodstream

I'm the rash upon your skin

And you made a big mistake all right

The day you let me in

And you can fly to the other side of the world

You know you'll only find

I've reserved the seat behind you

We can talk about old times

 

Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest ~

  

Picture inspired by this song:

♪Marillion - The uninvited guest♪

One of severalGuest Bedrooms at the Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California. Fine Tapestry hanging from ceiling to floor behind the two beds.

Throughout the past few months, there has been a closure on the famous Kořenov cog railway and services between the Polish town of Szklarska Poręba and Czech Tanvald were broken up. A quick solution was found by employing a fleet of railbusses owned by various private companies - among them KŽC.

 

The tiny motor wagons were transported from Czechia the long way around to avoid the track closure and 5 of them found their way onto the short stretch of track between Szklarska Poręba Górna and Kořenov. We photographed 2 of them on the 27.08.2025 on the RMM 97065 Szklarska Poręba Górna - Harrachov (-Kořenov) as they were snaking around the track between Szklarska Poręba Huta and Polana Jakuszycka - one of the highest (above sea level) points on the Polish railway network. We were lucky enough to see two of the railbusses in the old livery - the 810.618 and 810.157. Simultaneously to each train, there is also a bus service running on the very same route, albeit omitting a couple of harder to reach spots on the line and also continuing further down the closed section of track.

 

Just recently the railbusses were withdrawn as the line has (to my knowledge) been closed on its entire length for more repair works
