Two riggers, using a crowbar and muscles, struggle to rip down temporary formwork attached to this column. Another guy is preparing to swing over and assist. I watched and waited a few more minutes and my next snap caught it falling free. Luck and patience gave me time to get set up and capture the moment.
Well if ladybugs represent good luck then we should be very lucky in this house! Late last week we were overtaken by ladybugs. You literally could not take a step on the front lawn without fear of stepping on one! Not sure where they came from but it only lasted a couple of days. Needless to say my son & I were out there snapping away with the cameras...to anyone driving by it must have looked pretty strange...2 people perched in the grass with cameras apparently photographing the lawn!
Thanks for looking & leaving your thoughts!
Have a wonderful day:)
CSX Executive Office Car special comes though Bladensburg Maryland with the crossing known as Tanglewood on the CSX Alexandria Extension to the RF&P to head down the Wye at JD Hyattsville to the Met sub to Chicago. I had the honors to get it today before I head down to work, it was good to see it due to not being able to or getting bad luck when it comes though at night but either way, I enjoyed getting it today!

One of three Spitfires that graced the pleasure flight ramp on the day of my visit was MJ444, a serial number that did not ring a bell with me. Probably because its first post-restoration flight was in June 2024, having crashed in Belgium in 1945.
Mostly rebuilt with new material, it was turned out as a two-seat Mark. IX, the second seat being essential to make the project profitable!

The last day of travelling and my only day (out of seven) of sunshine.
Another lifer and another fluke...yes it is; pure luck. Again I decided to take a different route travelling north in Alberta and pulled off the road to let a transport truck go by.
I noticed another pothole and thought I would have a little look before getting back on the road. At a quick glance nothing new...although some n. shovelers were close enough to grab a photo, so I did. That is when I noticed a female duck sitting on a mound of grass and straining her neck as she was checking on me. Naturally, I had to have a look through the binos to see if this might be something new, not so....
However, out of the corner of my eye, to the right I noticed something yellow, closer look. Oh, something new for certain, a rail for sure! But which one?
Get the pic first! The rail must have noticed that it was being watched...it moved into the reeds, under cover. But not before getting a few pics. See pic in comments as it was leaving the spot it was located. Called a friend to share the excitement of another lifer!
Again, well cropped. This bird (Sora) is very secretive and keeps well hidden. So thankful for that bright yellow bill that caught my attention.
I decided to leave as much habitat as possible so you could see where they hide.
Enjoy your day, happy Sunday...wherever you may be.
Thanks for the views, faves, and comments! Always appreciated.

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna dance"
I meet her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me, "What does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?"
Said, "It was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?"
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna dance"
With my pretty little Galway girl
You're my pretty little Galway girl
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna to dance"
My pretty little Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
About a Galway girl and a perfect night
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna to dance"
My pretty little Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl, hey
Well, tomorrow (or today, depending on when you view this photo), Monday May 28th, is the very first day of my new career!
Oh, and as for the photo itself, this is the beautiful Elbow River just past the Allen Bill Pond, heading towards the bridge you can see in the distance which you must cross to get to Elbow Falls.
I am excited, nervous, and a bit scared but am also confident that if I focus and apply myself all will work out well!
I obviously will not be on flickr nearly as much, but I am going to try my hardest to upload at least one photo a day and to also try to keep up with all your wonderful new works as best as I can, my dear flickr friends!
Have an excellent week, everybody!
With any luck, there will never be a day I stop shooting Laura.
Don't shoot her like I used to, lots of faces out there, lots of folks need their picture taken, but that don't mean we don't hang out, don't mean when I see her I don't need to whip my camera (whatever camera I've got on hand) out and snap a few.
Got me some nice new (to me) point & shoot cameras, so I'll probably be doing a lot more whipping out, feels good to carry around a light camera, something easy and small, fits right into my hand, not much to fiddle with, keeps the bag strap from grinding down on my shoulder.
Naturally, looking at 'em all, I figure I've got the right amount of cameras, don't need any more, and if fortune favors me, that feeling will last at least a good three weeks.
A fisherman at Sunderland heading away from the pier. I asked a few of them on the day whether they'd had any luck, no one had caught anything.
With the highest tides of the year and a predicted forecast of very high winds, we were lucky here on the Channel Island of Jersey that the winds subsided long before the high tide. The seas were still quite choppy on the southwest coast of the Island, as seen here at Corbiere lighthouse.
A charm meant to bring in good luck in the year of the tiger, which starts on February 14
