Based on a comment on iNaturalist, I changed the ID from White-fringed Emerals Moth to Blackbury Looper.
About 7 miles south of Wall, SD is the beginning of the Badlands Loop Road. Winter turned out to be a great time to visit as we almost had the place to ourselves.
This view is from just off the Fossil Exhibit trail, one of the many hiking trails in the park. Don't think I could have got this shot in the summer as I was more or less laying in the middle of road for a few minutes.
Our second day was cut short due to the dense fog. There was no more than a quarter mile of visibility which kind of ruined the view. Since there was no point in staying in the park, we decided to drive up to Iron Mountain Road hoping it would be clear enough to see Mount Rushmore. It wasn't looking promising until we got to Keystone where we finally started to see the sun and I was able to shoot a few pictures of the presidents. Will be posting those in the next few days.
I apologize to the purists for my processing but wanted to try a little artistic creativity on this one.
NS P87 dodges shadows as it descends the Old Fort Loops on its way east to Bridgewater. A few kudzu-lined fills not withstanding, much of the loops are a tree tunnel much like this location. Incredible to watch and listen to (and plenty useful if you have a drone), but from ground level your options can be a bit limited pending the time of day. With P87 running early this day, 80% sun on the head end was a victory.
At ADM in Tuscola, the elevator employee is probably sighing with relief as the last car of this 90 car grain train is seconds from being completely loaded. Two hours later and the DREI crew will be hopping on to take it east to Hillsdale, where a CSX crew will then take it south. This pair of YN2 AC4400CW locomotives look great and are a nice touch to this train, considering its usual set of fresh GEVOs.
A brief pause from my Vignettes of Cork : Beauty in the Ordinary posts to give me space to share some other work from this year.

I'm revisiting the photos I took of Bryce Canyon back in 2009, reprocessing many, adding a few, and deleting others.
