7DOS Movement Macro Monday, Pushing the engine down the track and timing the shutter to catch the movement with a stop at the end of the track to end with more detail of the engine. probably should have used a tripod to keep the shake down, but since second try did this good thought stick with it.
The center of my woods (property limit)...

I may have been infected (is that what you call it?) with poison ivy, also I may have rubbed it in my eyes. Worked for several hours today, felling trees, chopping them up, and loading the logs into a truck. All of this was done in , what we think, was a patch of poison ivy.
Ever start off your day thinking.... "Lets ruin the day!"... ?

Happy Worm's Eye View Sunday!
This also works for the sixty-four colors group. This week's color: brown.
I think I can finish up my photos from the California Railroad Museum. After all, what would a set of railroad pictures be without a real live steam engine.
Happy Monday Everybody.
Is it totally freezing where you live too?
A steam powered narrow gauge mountain train. If you look closely, you will see it doesn't have the big wheels with the long arm on it. This one works by turning a huge crank shaft which drives the wheels all at the same time. This configuration allows it to climb steep grades. This IS "The little engine that could"!
This is at Roaring Camp in Felton, California. It's tracks run through the mighty redwood forest to the beach in Santa Cruz. The trees are gigantic reaching 300 feet in height (100 meters). Riding this train will take you through Henry Cowell State Park, through Felton, Scotts Valley, and Santa Cruz right to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the Santa Cruz Pier.
While you are waiting for the next train, take a small walk through Henry Cowell State Park. There you will walk among the tallest trees on this planet. The giant redwoods are struck by lightning all the time. Their insides burn out leaving them hollow. This doesn't usually kill the tree and the trees have a marvelous healing mechanism called burl. One such tree was used as a home for early pioneers. You can still walk inside and check out the fireplace and windows. Be sure to bring your flashlight and batteries so you can walk around inside as the windows have all healed over. If you have more than twenty people in your party, you may need to take turns touring the tree. Twenty years ago, I could walk in without stooping, but due to the healing, I cannot fit in anymore. In a few more years, nobody will be able to walk inside.
One more thing, can you see how this train is celebrating Easter Sunday?
I just found an old Kodak card...Arrrrgh I can't get away from Flickr!
This was taken five years ago. The kitty splattered all over the bird house is Squash.
He was my neighbor's cat and the only cat I have ever fallen head-over-heels in love with.
In my profile I mention that I love dogs and cats that act like dogs.
This little fellow was a dog in a cat's body.
If I drove up from work he would come running from across the street to greet me.
In our backyard we had made an outdoor aviary filled with Zebra Finch and Squash would take a flying leap at it every chance he could get.
The birds are long gone and Squash passed away far before his time.
I only had the pleasure of his company for a couple of years, but they were the best.
I still miss him very much
I do not fear or dread steep hills when I run. Every step of a climb is literally a chance to rise to the challenge. These slippery steps on the Oakland Mills Park trails are nice confidence builders.
nephew ethan didn't want to pedal this car no matter how many times you would sit him into the drivers seat...he would just get out and start pushing..
taken back in June, this is a rendition of ethan pushing his mercedes SLK pedal car (see below for previous version)..
which one do you prefer?
