About five months ago, I was at my local forest preserve just before sunset. As I was leaving, I noticed a raccoon exiting this hole in the tree. Every time I went back to this preserve, I would always check this tree for activity, with no luck. Yesterday, I was there in search of butterflies. About thirty minutes before sunset, I decided to leave, but not before checking this tree again. I set up about twenty feet away from the hole and waited. It was getting pretty dark, and I was just about ready to give up when this guy poked his head out. I got one shot before he quickly retreated. Kane County, Illinois

It was a nice day so I decided to take a hike and try a new spot just south of town and wait on the Illinois Terminal heritage unit. Here's NS #1072 & UP #7272 bringing train #366 across the South River on the southeast side of Atlanta, GA.
Last from the series. I've posted a few images from this shoot now. I still really like them and hope to get another opportunity to grab some more.
Tremendous Thursday to each and every one of you. Let's keep this week going strong!

My husband and I took a walk through the wildflowers and weeds. We both experienced a relaxed and open mind, as well as a sense of euphoria. Very beneficial!

A group of stylish Burlington Northern commutes await a call to serve into Chicago, in BN's Aurora, Illinois yard.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, 25 Burlington Northern E8As were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. MK upgraded them to E9A standards, and included the installation of EMD 645 power assemblies and head-end power, branding the fleet E9AMs.
They were some of the last E-series locomotives in active service in North America. All were retired in 1992.
