I'd much rather hang out in a cafe. That's where things are really happening.

The Blue Water Café is located in downtown Grand Marais, Minnesota on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior and is a long time favorite of locals and visitors.
Blue Water Café is a family owned business and provides a full menu. We serve breakfast all day, lunch, and dinner. Our omelettes have been acknowledged as being one of the top ten in the state of Minnesota.
Whether you are wanting to shop, dine, relax, fish, ski, hike or sit on the beach, Blue Water Café is located in the middle of everything.
We recently added a vacation rental above the Café that can sleep 6 guests and provides a great view of downtown Grand Marais, Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountains.
Boat rentals along the Chicago River are "on ice" until Spring.

At the mouth of Pabineau River, where she flows into the Nipisiguit, one can always expect a color spectacle every year. Such was the case this morning!

Once or Twice a month someone who lives in the city disappears. No reliable bystanders have been available to provide the Police or FBI with any helpful information.
One individual was interviewed and told the authorities a fantastic tale of two buildings (one with stairway and one with fire escape) coming together to capture someone. The individual said the person captured had a hoodie on and he was not sure whether it was a man or a woman. This individual was sent to a psychiatric hospital for intense treatment starting with shock therapy.

I have been going to Elk Island NP so much recently that I have neglected the park just a few blocks from home, and noticed the other evening that there was some nice golden light happening, so I hoofed it to the park. A composition that I have shot many times before, but I never seem to tire of it, in any season, especially when shot under interesting light.

[Sorry! I had to delete the previous version of this picture 'cause I found some errors at the first one that I already fixed here]
Norfolk & Western 1218 thunders through the village of Happy Creek, Virginia on its way to Front Royal. All of the smoke and cinders being deposited on the house to the right make it easy to understand why the people who lived near the rails were happy to see the demise of steam.
There are such meaty and nourishing events happening at the moment. With things for men even! I KNOW!
My Halphas horns by Nefekalum and Constance boots by Phedora were both from this round of The Warehouse, and the Astrom coat is Contraption's release for Midnight Order. Hank hair by Vango can be found at Alpha.
You know we can't post slurls on Flickr but trust me, they are easy to find. Go. Participate in capitalism. You know you wanna.

HomilytheFifthSundayofLent032623
This is the fifth week of Lent. Our Gospel reading is a the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It is a drama happening in the context of a global drama-the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These two events are intimately linked to each other. Both dramas show us how God moves within Salvation history that is on behalf of all humanity and then how Jesus works within the drama and detail of each and every life. Love for us, is God’s purpose and is reflected in both events.
We have the benefit of witnessing the unfolding of these two events and there importance to us collectively and individually-especially during Lent. We must not forget how fortunate we are to be on this side of the resurrection, because we have the complete picture, there are no surprises accept the ones we experience in the details of our own lives.
Our church provides us a way of entering into these events through her liturgies, liturgical seasons and sacramental rites. In this way, Jesus Christ is present to us in a multiple of ways. However, we can also let the glittery world distract us, and pull our attention from the “one thing that matters” our relationship with Christ. For it is in the intimacy of this relationship that we can experience Him in the details of our own lives, as he was present for Lazarus, Mary and Martha in our Gospel story.
How was Jesus present to them? Let us begin with “and Jesus wept.” For whom is Jesus shedding tears? The simple answer is for his friends. In these few words, we can be sure, that just as Jesus is moved by Martha and Mary in their grief and sorrow at the loss of their brother, so our Jesus is present to us. In the mundane, the joyful and the sorrowful details of our life…the presence of Christ can be felt if we have a place for Him.
How was Jesus there for Lazarus? From our Gospel reading, it was apparent that Jesus knew that Lazarus was sick, and it appears that he was slow to respond. For a greater purpose that only Jesus knew, he was going to raise him from the dead, as a foreshadowing of his own death.
When Jesus appeared before Lazarus, he asked that the stone be rolled away and then said
“Lazarus, come out!” What did Lazarus hear in this command? Artist and theologian Makoto Fujimura in his book Art and Faith say’s it quite beautifully:
“What Lazarus heard was not the voice of a mere mortal trying to speak of love and hope. What called Lazarus was the voice of a Son of God himself who spoke from beyond the veil into eternity, into the Father’s presence. What Lazarus heard was the voice of true hope and true love. What Lazarus heard was nothing short of the voice of Creation.” (end quote)
Once again, Lazarus, Martha and Mary are together again and Jesus is in the center. Their individual drama is completed and Jesus passion is just beginning. Soon after raising Lazarus,
The Sanhedrin met, and decided that they were going to kill Jesus.
So, we see, the unfolding of the Lazarus event, within the larger event we call the passion. As it was for Lazarus, Martha and Mary, Jesus works within the details of our lives and collectively we are the body of Christ moving forward in time. What harm can the world do to us, nothing…because we are a resurrection people.
In the detail of our lives, Jesus is present to us, even when we do not realize it. Blessed are we, if we are aware of his presence. Knowing that HE is with us in our ups and downs, giving us the peace and comfort that the world can never provide. What is even more profound is when we see HIM in others that crowd around us in our times of loss, despair, joy and celebration. In a mysterious way, our journey through this valley of life uniquely contributes to the bigger picture of our salvation history and building up the Kingdom of God on earth. The season of Lent, amplifies this walk with Jesus. We are given the opportunity to walk with Him…to be with him…to comfort HIM…to weep with HIM and to be his friend.

I don’t exactly remember the circumstances that led to this happening, but alas, another rare daylight run of the FEC rock-runners documented for the books. Such moves are hard to plan for on a whim, let alone predict, but are massively appealing to photograph when given the opportunity. Finding FEC SD40’s in service on the mainline in daylight is difficult to accomplish. Even with the complexities of shooting unplanned train moves, Little River is one of the ‘safe’ plays for me, a location I’d fall back on for this occasion—and it certainly won’t be the last time.
Led by sister ‘40’s #FEC720 [SD40-2] and #FEC711 [SD40-2], a late-running FEC 193-08 heads south through the cluttered mess that Little River on the morning of December 8th, 2023, rounding the curve past the neighborhood’s namesake body of water towards the Little River wye. The two Champion units have 121 cars on the drawbar, 119 of them being empty limestone gondolas/hoppers, and two articulated TOFC spine cars for the railroads’ then-new Waste Management service on the bottom [said WM traffic now has its own dedicated train at the time of posting].
Typically operating under the cover of night, Train 193 handles empty limestone traffic out of Fort Pierce to Medley Monday through Friday as the southbound counterpart to Train 292, which handles the northbound loads out of Medley. Motive power for the service cycles every week, and greatly varies depending on what’s available.

After a long stint of being away from our hometown - the strangeness quickly faded away as we walked into the Grand Avenue Cafe.
