Thanks to my buddy Vic for the headsup re. the lightning apparently concentrated on the trailing edge of last night's storm, and well North of home. I don't know that the road trip was worth only a single "keeper" (maybe getting spoiled), but at least there's something to show for the effort.
Comments and feedback welcome.

German postcard by Ross Verlag in the Luxus series, no. 540. Photo: Paramount. Charles Rogers in Heads Up (Victor Schertzinger, 1930).
Charles 'Buddy' Rogers (1904-1999) was an American film actor and musician. During the peak of his popularity in the late 1920s and early 1930s, he was publicised as "America's Boy Friend". Rogers starred in such films as Wings (1927) and My Best Girl (1927), opposite his later wife Mary Pickford. He also found success as a bandleader and a musician.
Charles Edward 'Buddy' Rogers was born in 1904 in Olathe, Kansas, to Maude and Bert Henry Rogers. His father was a newsman who later became a probate judge in Johnson County. Charles He attended Olathe high school and studied at the University of Kansas where he became an active member of Phi Kappa Psi. In the mid-1920s, he trained at the Paramount Picture School and began acting professionally in Hollywood films. His film debut was a starring role in the silent romantic comedy Fascinating Youth (Sam Wood, 1926), along with Thelma Todd and Josephine Dunn in supporting roles. That year, he also appeared in the comedy So's Your Old Man (Gregory La Cava, 1926) starring W. C. Fields and Alice Joyce. Nicknamed "Buddy", his most-remembered film performance was opposite Clara Bow and Gary Cooper in the Oscar-winning war film Wings (William A. Wellman, 1927), the first film ever honored as Best Picture. Hundreds of extras and some 300 pilots were involved in the filming, including pilots and planes of the United States Army Air Corps which were brought in for the filming and to provide assistance and supervision. Wellman extensively rehearsed the scenes for the Battle of Saint-Mihiel over ten days with some 3500 infantrymen on a battlefield made for the production on location. Although the cast and crew had much spare time during the filming because of weather delays, shooting conditions were intense, and Wings took approximately nine months to complete in total. Acclaimed for its technical prowess and realism upon release, the film became the yardstick against which future aviation films were measured, mainly because of its realistic air-combat sequences. According to Wikipedia, Wings was one of the first films to show two men kissing, and also one of the first widely released films to show nudity. In the enlistment office are nude men undergoing physical exams, who can be seen from behind through a door that is opened and closed. Bow's breasts are revealed for a second during the Paris bedroom scene when military police barge in as she is changing her clothes. In the scene in which Rogers becomes drunk, the intoxication displayed on the screen was genuine, as although 22 years of age, he had never tasted liquor before, and quickly became inebriated from drinking champagne. A boom was built with the camera mounted on an extension to shoot the Café de Paris scene. For many years, Wings was considered a lost film until 1992 when a print was found in the Cinémathèque Française film archive in Paris and quickly copied from nitrate film to safety film stock. It was again shown in theaters, including some theaters where the film was accompanied by Wurlitzer pipe organs. In 1997, Wings was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Rogers then appeared in the silent romantic comedy My Best Girl (Sam Taylor, 1927) opposite his future wife Mary Pickford. Charles Rosher received an Academy Award nomination for his cinematography of this film in 1928. He co-starred again with Clara Bow in the romantic comedy Get Your Man (Dorothy Arzner, 1927). His first part-talkie was Abie's Irish Rose (Victor Fleming, 1928) with Nancy Carroll. They co-starred again in the musical Close Harmony (John Cromwell, A. Edward Sutherland, 1929).
Charles 'Buddy' Rogers was a talented trombonist skilled on several other musical instruments. He performed with his own dance band in films and on the radio. He performed in such musicals as the all-star American revue Paramount on Parade (Edmund Gouldin, and ten other directors, 1930), and the British musical Dance Band (Marcel Varnel, 1935). In 1930, he recorded two records for Columbia as a solo singer with a small jazz band accompanying. In 1932, he signed with Victor and recorded four sweet dance band records with a group organized by drummer, and later actor, Jess Kirkpatrick. In 1933–1934 Rogers took over the popular Joe Haymes orchestra, to which he added drummer Gene Krupa. His later bands were organised by Milt Shaw. In 1938, he signed with Vocalion and recorded six swing records. During World War II, he served in the United States Navy as a flight training instructor. After making An Innocent Affair (Lloyd Bacon, 1948), he retired from the screen for nine years, concentrating on television and radio work. His final screen appearance before his retirement from films was in the Western The Parson and the Outlaw (Oliver Drake, 1957). It was produced by Charles 'Buddy' Rogers Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film stars Anthony Dexter as Billy the Kid, along with Buddy Rogers, Sonny Tufts, Marie Windsor, and Jean Parker. In 1960, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was dedicated to Rogers at 6135 Hollywood Blvd, for his contribution to the motion picture industry. In 1986, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Rogers with The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and in 1993, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars was dedicated to him. In 1937, Rogers became the third husband of silent film actress Mary Pickford. Their romance had begun in 1927 when they co-starred in My Best Girl, but they kept it on ice until Pickford's separation and 1936 divorce from Douglas Fairbanks. According to IMDb, he reported that Clark Gable "once told Mary [Mary Pickford] when we got married, that it wouldn't last six months" because he was 11 years younger than her. They remained married for 42 years until Pickford's death in 1979. The couple adopted two children — Roxanne (born 1944, adopted in 1944) and Ronald Charles (born 1937, adopted in 1943). He became estranged from daughter Roxanne when, at age 18, she ran off to marry a man her parents did not approve of. In 1982, Rogers married Beverly Ricono, a well-regarded philanthropist in the Palm Desert area, and the couple remained together till his death. According to Wikipedia, Rogers was reportedly bisexual and had an affair with Gene Raymond who was married to Jeanette MacDonald. IMDb: "Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond were married on June 16, 1937. Nine days later, Mary Pickford and Charles 'Buddy' Rogers were wed. That same night, both couples left aboard the liner Lurline to honeymoon in Honolulu. Their respective cabins were adjacent, and Raymond and Rogers seem to have already been quite well acquainted. According to reliable sources, the two wives found the two grooms commencing a honeymoon of their own." Charles 'Buddy' Rogers died in Rancho Mirage, California, in 1999, at the age of 94 of natural causes, and was interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Cathedral City, near Palm Springs.

66735 stopped on the Up Goods Loop at Broxbourne from 1301 until 1309 on 21/11/18 with 6O14, the 1250 VSTP from Harlow Mill Aggregate Industries to Tonbridge West Yd, which was formed of 19 empty JGAs & the 33 on 20/11/85, was on the line to the left of the loco!
The sun is shining & where is 91119? Going to Bounds Green for repairs, after several days of losing time, on every journey (A big thanks to Vernon Carr for headsup, especially the cancellation of the 1006 to Newark North Gate. Perhaps LNER need some decent loco's, which can run on one engine?)!!!

This is a revisiting of Red Heads Up! Poppy as Batgirl. I don't know why I love this color combination so much. Maybe it was burnt into my mind as a young kid watching Batman reruns after school. Hilariously enough, the costume is a kitbash from the recently released 8" Batgirl. Poppy's little feet fit into the Batgirl shoes from that 8" figure!
Giraffe on a wonderful Tarangire National Park evening after a great days gameviewing with some good friends.
Twiga was close by the track and I just realised what kind of shot was possible. Stopped carefully (thankfully without the brakes doing a typical Landrover squeal!) got out, crept up and underexposed him by 4 stops.
Only got 2 frames off before he rocking-horsed off elsewhere. The other is a side profile as he was turning. Hmm, must see if I can find that slide too!

An early morning Headsup from Flump and call from DW, left me with little option to grab my camera and head to Leicester with mum and dad. An awfully foggy day left me wondering but all ended up well.
Approaching Leicester p3 (booked p4) is 56302 with 56094, 50050, 50017 and 56113 at the tail. The working, 09:15 0z56 is Washwood Heath to Washwood Heath via Stenson Junction, Leicester and Nuneaton
Last month, I got my first Flickr account warning about my 'Collection Of Photos' that violated the Terms Of Service.
Lucky for me, I haven't had my account banned.

NS intermodal 201 comes through the morning haze at Waynetex, Waynesboro VA. Didn't have much time to go anywhere but here, because as I got out of the car I could hear his horn blowing for the crossings in Waynesboro. This guy was really rolling! Thanks to Steve Bauer for the headsup!
Years ago these race specials would've been loco hauled. Ah well at least it was the celebrity pairing of 43172 "Harry Patch" and 43027 "90 Glorious Years at the rear. This was the second race special of the day, which ran as 1Z21 0835 from Paddington, and is seen here on the last part of its journey at Hatherley. Many thanks to GW for the headsup on this move. 13th March 2018.

Oh well, the new Greater Anglia "plastic" (745007) will have to wait for another day, month or year!!!!!!!!!!
On the Round Oak steels you see 'almost' all the 'Sheds' over time but some are more elusive than others! This is the most elusive one! The last time I saw this particular locomotive in the Kidderminster / Bewdley area was almost 30 years ago when I saw it heading over Sandbourne Viaduct on the SVR during a Sunday ballast drop ex Bescot!
DB Cargo 66099 heads the 6M41 Margam - Round Oak fully loaded steel (max 25) through Kidderminster, working hard, after a signal stop.
My thanks to Dave Hopkins for the HeadsUp.
I got a headsup from Daniel Larabee that the CofG Heritage Unit was on NS 285 and was able to sneak out of work for a bit to catch a few shots. Not the greatest with the grey of the locomotive blending in with the grey of the day.
But, it was worth the trip since I hadn't seen this one yet. This makes 16/20 on the NS side.

My entry for Bio-Cup Round 1: Fusion with Galaxy Squad.
My favorite design is the Brazilian Treehopper bug. I wanted to create a unique insect, so I looked up the most bizarre bugs and this is the one I liked the best. (Although I did find at least one MOC of this bug that’s been done before, so it’s not the first time.) It’s not completely accurate, as the body isn’t long enough, but I like how the compact design worked out, including some nice uses of the egg / leaf piece from the Hero Factory Invasion from Below series. The head also utilizes a Metru torso, a piece I have rarely MOCed with before. The head pods ended up being black and brown due to parts limitations, but they’re different colors on the original bug, so I still think it works.
A fair amount of sun this morning (unlike later in the day!!) - but as 66190 in DB red was required for a picture, and I was in the area, this had to be done. But I fully accept that Badgeworth is far from ideal at this time of the year. DB red 66190 'Martin House Children's Hospice is seen working 6V05 0915 from Round Oak to Margam. Thanks to RC for the headsup. 20th November 2023.
DB blue 66148 “Maritime Intermodal 7” pictured at Badgeworth working a VSTP 1320 from Landore St. to Margam. The consist is 10 TEA’s which had been extracted from Long Marston and were destined to go to Bescot. Due to operational problems, this was not possible so the train reversed at Landor St. The TEA’s are to replace the ones damaged in the recent Llangennech derailment. Thanks TS for the headsup re this move. 9th October 2020.
