Mi ero spinta sin dove finiva la bancbina, mentre attendevo il mio treno.
Tranquilli, volevo solo scattare una foto. Mi ha sempre affascinato il groviglio dei binari, il loro incontrarsi e dividersi in un gioco senza fine
One of the fun things about spring hiking is getting first crack at the wildflowers. Some of them bloom quite early. We also need to stay below the 3,000-foot limit which keeps fragile trails and vegetation safe until all spring moisture has drained - which is usually by June. It makes for a better hiking experience for everyone.
Here's what to flowers to look for and where to find them. To make it even easier, I am including which trail at our local hiking complex, the Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center, where each of these flowers can be found.
Remember, take only pictures. Adirondack wildflowers are protected.

Belle surprise à Angrignon hier, j'ai eu le loisir d'observer une nichée découverte par Jean-Guy Proulx tout récemment à la limite de la présence au nid des petites, car il s'agit ici de deux femelles! La sortie du nid est incessante. Sous un couvert feuillu bien fourni et du côté opposé au soleil ce nid, dont nous avions vu un couple si affairer au printemps 2017 sans y donner suite alors, est fortement ombragé rendant la prise de photos difficile, à tout le moins pour moi, peu expérimenté face à de telles conditions. L’utilisation du flash fut de mise. Quoique la qualité des images n'est pas au niveau recherché la rencontre fut fameuse, d'autant plus que ce trou est situé à bonne hauteur.
Testing my 10 stopper to the limit (?) with my longest exposure ever! Some vignetting at the edges, but I liked it here so didn't do anything with them.

Another from my mini chase of New England Central Railroad train 611 (Brattleboro to Palmer turn that forwards the connecting 323/324 road freight traffic) fron Belchertown to Palmer on NECR's Palmer Sub, the one time Central Vermont Railway mainline. This shot wasn't what I wanted but unfortunately this train stopped just north of here to switch out Barrets and by the time they finally showed up the sun had swung enough that shadows had begun to encroach on the rails. They are rounding the tight curve approaching the private crossing at MP 67.8 inside yard limits (rule 6.13 territory) just north of the long thru girder bridge over the Chicopee River. They are in the aptly named village of 'Three Rivers' where the Swift, Ware, and Quaboag Rivers all meet to form the Chicopee which flows down to the mighty Connecticut.
Leading the way is Providence and Worcester 4069, a GE C40-8W blt. Mar. 1989 as CR 6028 which passed to Norfolk Southern before being retired in 2017. It was sold to Larry's Truck and Electric and lanquished for many years until being picked up by Genesee and Wyoming and assigned to the PW. It was freshly painted in this veterans tribute scheme in September of 2024 and has mostly hidden out of the limelight in working stone trains out of New Haven. But it was recently loaned to NECR after a couple of their units suffered failures leading to a power shortage. Trailing are GE C40-8Ws NECR 4064 and 4068 blt. Mar. and Nov. 1991 as CR 6115 and CSXT 7740 respectively.

Circondata da un vasto giardino, la villa sorge al limitare dell’abitato di Stresa, in via Manzoni, alla base della ripida strada che conduce al Collegio Rosmini. Viene costruita nei primi anni del Novecento dall’impresario edile Vasco Capucci, che ne fa la propria dimora e la dedica alla moglie Daisy. Nel progetto, datato 27 ottobre 1906, egli dà prova di tutta la sua esperienza e del suo impareggiabile stile. Le forme ricordano le costruzioni medievali, reinterpretate con fantasia e arricchite da una vasta gamma di decorazioni non estranee al contemporaneo Stile Floreale. L’edificio, a pianta rettangolare, è movimentato da due ordini di logge sporgenti in corrispondenza dell’ingresso e da una “oriel-window”, struttura circolare posta allo spigolo sinistro del prospetto, su cui svetta l’elegante torretta belvedere. Sequenze di archi a tutto sesto, bifore e archetti evocano il gusto medievale. Alla ricchezza dell’architettura fanno riscontro i raffinati giochi cromatici, ottenuti con l’accostamento di diversi tipi di materiali, e la preziosa decorazione, opera di Lorenzo Mossello, appartenente a una famiglia di valenti decoratori e pittori di chiese e ville, attiva tra Ottocento e Novecento. Agli inizi degli anni Settanta, gli eredi Capucci vendono la villa a Marie Antoinette Castellano Labadini, benefattrice di Stresa e proprietaria della fabbrica di cosmetici Voirnet, fondata dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La dimora diventa luogo d’incontro di personalità dell’imprenditoria, della politica, della cultura e della nobiltà internazionale. Agli inizi del XXI secolo la proprietà è stata venduta a un’importante famiglia d’imprenditori, che è riuscita a riportare all’antico splendore l’edificio e il parco.
Vasco Capucci, il capomastro genio architettonico di Stresa. Arriva a Stresa nel 1876 con il padre Ulisse, garibaldino e costruttore di professione. Conseguito il diploma di capomastro frequentando a Milano le scuole serali, avvalendosi dell’esperienza del padre, Capucci diventa uno degli imprenditori edili più abili e apprezzati di Stresa. È ricordato come “personaggio caparbio”, “lavoratore indefesso” e “amministratore preciso, pignolo e un po’ tirchio”, soprattutto in campo politico, nel quale lo si ritrova, a più riprese, nelle vesti di assessore comunale. Il volto di Stresa del XX secolo si deve in buona parte all’ingegno, alla fantasia e alla concretezza del cav. Capucci. Lunga è la lista dei lavori e degli interventi. In campo pubblico, la Palazzina Liberty, alcuni tratti del lungolago, il cimitero e l’ospedale; a lui si deve poi il progetto della cabina telegrafica, a fianco dell’edificio del Comune, e dell’imbarcadero, costruzioni eleganti e aggiornate sul contemporaneo stile liberty. Nel settore privato l’opera più eclatante è l’innalzamento, in soli 95 giorni, del Grand Hôtel des Iles Borromées (nel 1911-1912), a cui viene affiancato l’elegante portico con negozi che prospetta sulla Statale del Sempione. Del capomastro è anche la realizzazione nel 1955, nella chiesa del Collegio Rosmini, della cripta che conserva le spoglie del grande Filosofo. La creatività del “mago sapiente” si sbizzarrisce poi nelle ville private, che egli realizza sia trasformando case modeste sia costruendo ex novo, da Carciano a Vedasco, da Vezzo all’Alpino. Prima fra tutte Villa Daisy Capucci di Stresa, dalle fiabesche forme castellane. A Villa Trentinaglia di Carciano, nel 1918, la nuova proprietaria, contessa Montagnini di Torino, commissiona il rifacimento della dimora a Capucci e le decorazioni allo scultore-pittore stresiano Andrea Zapelloni (1877-1961) . (Si ringrazia la sig.ra P.S. per la preziosa documentazione).

The Chilian Northern Railway Company Limited o Ferrocarril Longitudinal Norte F.C.L.N fue una empresa británica constituida para la construcción del trayecto entre Pintados, empalme con los Ferrocarriles Salitreros de Tarapacá, y Pueblo Hundido, actual Diego de Almagro, empalme con la Red Norte de Ferrocarriles del Estado. La vía fue construida entre 1910 y 1914, desarrollándose en 709 Km. sobre un terreno relativamente poco accidentado, pero con considerables diferencias de altitud.
Para la operación de su vía la Chilian Northern adquirió estas flamantes locomotoras tipo 2-6-0, de origen alemán, responsables del tráfico en un sector en donde la aridez y sequedad del Desierto de Atacama es abismante, y en donde el ritmo de vida de los poblados era determinado por los ferrocarriles minerales.
En 1961 fue traspasada la administración privada del ferrocarril a la Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado, bajo la cual se clasificó a esta locomotora como del tipo "Q" y se renumeró a N°3223. Se mantuvo en operaciones hasta la década de 1970, momento en el cual fue dejada estacionada en la Maestranza Baquedando a su suerte. Hoy la 3223 es la única sobreviviente de las locomotoras adquiridas por la Chilian Northern y se aferra con fuerza a no morir, aunque el tiempo la descascare por completo.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) typically dominate other fox species. Arctic foxes generally escape competition from red foxes by living farther north, where food is too scarce to support the larger-bodied red species. Although the red species' northern limit is linked to the availability of food, the Arctic species' southern range is limited by the presence of the former. Red and Arctic foxes were both introduced to almost every island from the Aleutian Islands to the Alexander Archipelago during the 1830s–1930s by fur companies. The red foxes invariably displaced the Arctic foxes, with one male red fox having been reported to have killed off all resident Arctic foxes on a small island in 1866. Where they are sympatric, Arctic foxes may also escape competition by feeding on lemmings and flotsam, rather than voles, as favoured by red foxes. Both species will kill each other's kits, given the opportunity.
Red foxes are serious competitors of corsac foxes, as they hunt the same prey all year. The red species is also stronger, is better adapted to hunting in snow deeper than 10 cm (4 in) and is more effective in hunting and catching medium to large-sized rodents. Corsac foxes seem to only outcompete red foxes in semi-desert and steppe areas. In Israel, Blanford's foxes escape competition with red foxes by restricting themselves to rocky cliffs and actively avoiding the open plains inhabited by red foxes.:84–85 Red foxes dominate kit and swift foxes. Kit foxes usually avoid competition with their larger cousins by living in more arid environments, though red foxes have been increasing in ranges formerly occupied by kit foxes due to human-induced environmental changes. Red foxes will kill both species, and compete for food and den sites. Grey foxes are exceptional, as they dominate red foxes wherever their ranges meet. Historically, interactions between the two species were rare, as grey foxes favoured heavily wooded or semiarid habitats as opposed to the open and mesic ones preferred by red foxes. However, interactions have become more frequent due to deforestation allowing red foxes to colonise grey fox-inhabited areas.
Wolves may kill and eat red foxes in disputes over carcasses. In areas in North America where red fox and coyote populations are sympatric, fox ranges tend to be located outside coyote territories. The principal cause of this separation is believed to be active avoidance of coyotes by the foxes. Interactions between the two species vary in nature, ranging from active antagonism to indifference. The majority of aggressive encounters are initiated by coyotes, and there are few reports of red foxes acting aggressively toward coyotes except when attacked or when their kits were approached. Foxes and coyotes have sometimes been seen feeding together. In Israel, red foxes share their habitat with golden jackals. Where their ranges meet, the two canids compete due to near identical diets. Foxes ignore jackal scents or tracks in their territories, and avoid close physical proximity with jackals themselves. In areas where jackals become very abundant, the population of foxes decreases significantly, apparently because of competitive exclusion.
Red foxes dominate raccoon dogs, sometimes killing their kits or biting adults to death. Cases are known of foxes killing raccoon dogs entering their dens. Both species compete for mouse-like prey. This competition reaches a peak during early spring, when food is scarce. In Tartaria, red fox predation accounted for 11.1% of deaths among 54 raccoon dogs, and amounted to 14.3% of 186 raccoon dog deaths in north-western Russia.
Red foxes may kill small mustelids like weasels, stone martens, pine martens, stoats, kolonoks, polecats and young sables. Eurasian badgers may live alongside red foxes in isolated sections of large burrows. It is possible that the two species tolerate each other out of mutualism; foxes provide badgers with food scraps, while badgers maintain the shared burrow's cleanliness.:15 However, cases are known of badgers driving vixens from their dens and destroying their litters without eating them. Wolverines may kill red foxes, often while the latter are sleeping or near carrion. Foxes in turn may kill unattended young wolverines.
Red foxes may compete with striped hyenas on large carcasses. Red foxes may give way to hyenas on unopened carcasses, as the latter's stronger jaws can easily tear open flesh that is too tough for foxes. Foxes may harass hyenas, using their smaller size and greater speed to avoid the hyena's attacks. Sometimes, foxes seem to deliberately torment hyenas even when there is no food at stake. Some foxes may mistime their attacks, and are killed.:77–79 Fox remains are often found in hyena dens, and hyenas may steal foxes from traps.
In Eurasia, red foxes may be preyed upon by leopards, caracals and Eurasian lynxes. The lynxes chase red foxes into deep snow, where their longer legs and larger paws give them an advantage over foxes, especially when the depth of the snow exceeds one metre. In the Velikoluki district in Russia, red foxes are absent or are seen only occasionally where lynxes establish permanent territories. Researchers consider lynxes to represent considerably less danger to red foxes than wolves do. North American felid predators of red foxes include cougars, Canadian lynxes and bobcats. Occasionally, large raptors such as Eurasian eagle owls will prey on young foxes, while golden eagles have been known to kill adults.

Emperor Dragonfly (Anax imperator) male. (Best viewed Large, On Black)
Yesterday, I had my first encounter with a dragonfly for this season. I had my eyes on this male emperor since noon, but at that time he was restless and constantly flying around the pond, patrolling the area, ready to send off other males and looking to mate with any female that would visit (none did). But in the afternoon, as the sun lowered and the temperature begun dropping, he was perching more and more often and that's when I made my move. Every time he perched, somewhere around the pond, I would slowly try to approach him. My first shots of him (see the previous photo) were captured from a distance that he was more comfortable with (a little more than a meter, I'd say). But as the time passed, we got better acquainted and, when he chose a perch that was at shoulder level and didn't feel intimidated by my height, he finally let me do some portraiture work :-)
I'm guessing he was 8-10cm long with a wingspan of 10-12cm.

A jetboat is a boat propelled by a jet of water ejected from the back of the craft. Unlike a powerboat or motorboat that uses an external propeller in the water below or behind the boat, a jetboat draws the water from under the boat through an intake and into a pump-jet inside the boat, before expelling it through a nozzle at the stern.
The modern jetboat was developed by New Zealand engineer Sir William Hamilton in the mid-1950s. His goal was a boat to run up the fast-flowing rivers of New Zealand that were too shallow for propellers.
