When I saw these Leaves I was transported back to my childhood....running through and Kicking Leaves !!

it brought a Smile to My Face, so guess what I did .........

Passion and discovery. It is a tug-at-your-soul that continues to

pull you forward, even as you go

Their pungent crisp aroma rises from the ground and reminds you of your childhood, raking the piles of leaves and then gleefully kicking them in dusty billows up to the sky. Raking them again is so much fun.

By the way, if you can, don't rake leaves out of your garden. Leave as much as possible to protect hibernating insects such as bumblebees and many kinds of useful wasps. Read about our friends the invertebrates here: xerces.org/ and join if you are able to

It was magic when the birds flew over to sit close in front of us. They had fun collecting dandelions for their nest/burrows. They would kick up the dirt so high when they dug out the burrows... for little things that are quite small and waddle when they walk they sure can dig! They have such beautiful intricate clown faces, I will never tire of looking at them!

A super old clock here, an awning and a bicycle too. I think this is a table football place. This is in London (I had a day out on the beers), at Exmouth Market in Islington. The road outside is either pedestrianised, or very low traffic, whichever it was there were next to no cars which is always nice.

I don't normally shoot with film this slow (iso 25) so it's fun to try.

So named because back in the old west a horse kicked his owner into the river. The Kicking Horse River was a challenge to get the color correct. When we stopped to see it, the water was a greenish somewhat yellow color. Likely from the sediment picked up from the rushing current, it made for a unique color photo.

The blue water was just incredible.

Neenah yard is bustling with action as usual this fine summer morning. A pair of switchers are in charge of the 08:00 lead job that have started their careers on the Southern Pacific and are now earning their keep on the WC. The FLO jobs are gone off to Appleton, L2627 to Manitowoc L2829 to Shops Yard etc, and this job will swap blocks, flat switch and kick cars around the yard while dissecting and building the evening locals and drags for freights to pick up. Not many freights got through Neenah, without making a stop to set out or pick up freight...it was quite the place to stay busy and I was lucky enough to hold down the midnight switch engine a couple years later.

CP Rail's "The Canadian", train No. 2 glides along the Kicking Horse River on the Mountain Sub near Palliser, east of Golden, British Columbia.

Canadian Pacific Railway train 250-19 kicks up freshly fallen snow, as the train negotiates Drop In Curve in Long Pond TWP, ME on 2/20/2021.

Over the winter of 2020-2021 older EMD/GMD products were assigned to Maine due to a power shortage on CP. Luckily several CMQ SD40-2F's stuck around. On this day I lucked out, with a solid set of CMQ power and no CP junk to obscure the photo.

Over the past two years, much of the fleet has sadly been repainted into the bland CP corporate paint. However, CMQ 9017 as well as a few others continue to sport the CMQ scheme. However with the entire SD40-2F fleet being rebuilt, the clock is ticking for the remaining units.

After clearing a 15 MPH slow order just west of Bennett, the engineer on UP 1943 throttles up in order to get back to track speed. In an interesting role reversal, the two EMD SD70ACes kick out a lot of exhaust when throttling up, while the GE in between burns clean through the acceleration.

Staring down the Minnesota Northern, the Cass Lake Local is rounding the curves into Erskine and kicking up snow on its way to its next stop. This is where I will drop my chase of the local in favor of the Minnesota Northern heading westbound to Crookston.
