Unlike in the US, here in Germany I rarely know about any special movement ahead of time. Most of the times it means missing things and seeing pictures later on the internet but sometimes the surprises can be fun. Yesterday since the weather was slightly sunny and pretty warm I decided to ride my bike to Muenchen Sued to see if anything interesting would show up. Right as my window of light was closing this showed up, a RailAdventure 111 pulling a new C2 trainset for the Munich U-Bahn. After a short but agonizing wait while a passenger train overtook the freight, I got the shot in the last seconds of sun for the day!
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

(It's not quite the Year of the Rat, but for some reason, I'm already feeling optimistic. It's my year & I'm summoning all the ratty positive power to avert the apocalypse contrived by the Orange Agent. and I'm doing it in Year of the Rat jewelry by S. Lima, Raspberry dress by Eternus & dark red Christmas Melee shoes from Heels!)

Macro Mondays Week 21: Superstition
A broken mirror is said to bring you seven years of bad luck. Hopefully not! I broke this mirror just to shoot this photo!

After getting the Mandarin Duck, we headed for Arrowhead Marsh to try our luck at the Tropical Kingbird. There were several people we ran into looking for this misguided bird but unable to find him, so we headed out for Lake Merrit in search of the Tufted Duck. As we're making our way past the islands to the large fountain we stopped to get some shots of the male Ruddy Duck sporting a new blue bill when we looked up to see several Greater Scaup being followed by the Tufted Duck...yes, that's the way it happened...:) We all got a good laugh at this 'good luck' of fortune!
I've had such poor luck catching sunsets with clouds lately. We've had three conditions, no clouds, the clouds vanish just before sunset, or it is completely overcast.... On this one I had a day with a little sunset luck, and didn't see the birds until I got home.
I called this a lucky shot because it was on my first encounter with these short-eared owls and taken in a split second focus and shoot.
I was parked in my car with both windows down. I heard the owl before I saw it. I watched it dip and dive as it approached the passenger side of my vehicle.
While sitting in the drivers seat I snapped this as it flew past the open passenger window not much more than 15 feet from the car. I cropped it to portrait format because it was originally on the far right side of the frame. Not perfect but I got a shot and was shocked I pulled it off.
Meantime after it flew by this window it turned up and over and landed on a pole just behind me. All other shots I have of the short eared owl is this same owl but I left it undisturbed on the post where it originally landed. It was a lucky day.
This is the closest I will get to a parade today as our weather is horrendous!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

“That is life, isn’t it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if’s that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics.
Fate. Luck. Chance.”
― Kelseyleigh Reber
So life.... and luck... I've learned...
Luck really doesn't just happen.... don't depend on it. If you don't do the work, you're not going to get the results. But...sometimes.... luck may take you to a place and hand you an unexpected treasure... like the little blue flowers growing all over by this unfortunate odd shed, with no house anywhere nearby. I'm going back to dig some up!
And also unfortunate... I have learned that in a battle between a nylon jacket and picker bushes... the picker bushes are going to win, hands down. Jacket totally shredded! Oh, and along the same line... running pants will also not do much to protect you from picker bushes. Legs and ankles... also shredded.
And as if that wasn't enough for one day.... I'm here to tell you that the mosquitoes are out ... in force! I was also eaten alive by mosquitoes. I couldn't slap them off fast enough. And do you want to talk about ticks....no, let's not!!
Yeah... not much luck in my world today (except for the pretty little blue flowers! I hope they aren't full of mosquitoes and ticks!)
Swallows move so quickly and erratically and they are fascinating to watch in flight. When I see them, I always take a few shots in hopes that I'll be on the mark. It does take skill and practice, but it does take a "whole lotta luck" as well.
This is one of the lucky shots. I not only got the Swallow in flight, but I also got his reflection in the water.
This was taken with my 5.6 - 400 mm lens, which doesn't have IS.

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
Oh, but it's all right, it's all right
for we've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
and sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

What Luck
What luck I can pick
berries in the wood
I thought
there is no wood no berries.
What luck I can lie
in the shade of a tree
I thought trees
no longer give shade.
What luck I am with you
my heart beats so
I thought man
has no heart.

An inspiration.
I regret that I did not get a chance to meet him when I was at the Big Apple. But the inspiration of his works did infuse me with such visual energy and dynamic outlook that I began to photograph NYC the way he would have seen and captured it. This is for you, kaibigan. Peng you.

At Chatsworth, the Bloomer Line crosses the TP&W using its ex-IC trackage. Todays northbound train saw the LTEX 3802 dropped off at Risk with some 20 cars or so, letting the BLOL7561 lead into town. The GP10, ex-CR (reblt by Paducah in '78) but whose heritage stretches back to NYC6002, passes the R2-derivitive signals that guard the TP&W/BLOL diamond. Chatsworth is home to some of the only signals on the Bloomer, though both dwarfs are a little ways out of frame.
I've been trying to shoot the Bloomer for nearly two years now, but I've never had an ounce of luck with them - never knowing what's running and when, and usually if something was running, I was stuck at work. The stars aligned when I had the full week off of work to make time to bring my girlfriend over to the US from England. We had been wandering a bit aimlessly when scanner traffic suggested the Bloomer might be up to something. A little more wandering and before we knew it, we were following the train out of Gibby and northbound. I think she's my good luck charm now!
Not usually luck with wildlife but on this occasion i just sat in my car and swatted off loads of shots
This image is either luck or not... I believe not so much. the image isn't perfect, but it was the only image I was able to get.
to start I was hoping to finish work early and go take some pictures... didn't finish till 3.30 and only had a short time. I walked 1km to this location, spent some time setting up and try to position the camera so its not taking all the wind and ocean spray. I got the camera focused, started taking my exposure then when it hit 56seconds...."change battery pack", I took the 2 batteries out of the battery grip, put my other two in and "change battery pack". spent the whole day wanting to take photos and when I had the chance, I forgot to charge my batteries! this was the only image I had.

Well at least I think it's a HH660, or maybe an even rarer HH600. I shot this back in 1982 about two blocks from my original home, where I was raised until the age of five. I bet this old girl was working there back then, too. General American Tank was building them as fast as the 2560 could move them. I've been all over the internet trying to find out any info on this green machine, but no luck.
Thinking I missed this train due to it's departure from Bensenville four hours earlier, you can imagine the look on my face as this pops into view. CP 6229 and DME 4001 power CP 281 west through some snow

“there is no such thing as line in nature, only areas of colour, one against another” - Edouard Manet
So I went to my cabin this weekend and I haven't been in at least a year and I was reminded of the quiet beauty of simply being alone in the forest. When I was younger my sister and I used to dread going to the cabin, it meant a weekend away from friends, technology, yadda ya basically we were naive and stupid and I really kick myself now for not appreciating it more then. We used to play with the neighbor girl, Michelle and we would pretend it was a magical forest, like Narnia, we even named our woods Trinima. Funny how memories come flooding back so casually. I really didn't fare well against the mosquitos, I only took three photos and thankfully I managed to get the shot I wanted and throw my shirt back on. I had to edit out like a million mosquitos that covered my back.
