Heading back to their train, Q541-16 is making the 11400' Cincinnati, Ohio - Waycross, Georgia manifest train solid after picking up tracks 402 and 401 at Wyvern Yard.

The Witch Head Nebula (also known as IC 2118) is a faint, eerie-looking reflection nebula in the constellation Eridanus, near the bright star Rigel in the neighbouring constellation Orion. Its name comes from its resemblance to the profile of a witch's face, complete with a hooked nose and chin.
This rendition is a little different. The image scale of my instrument does not allow the entire Witch head to be seen, only the chin and nose are in the frame. I have also flipped the traditional orientation, which is upside down in the version. I think it works in this orientation, the highlighting at the top is my favourite part.
Here are some key features:
Composition: The nebula is made up of interstellar dust and gas that reflects the light of nearby stars, primarily Rigel. This scattered light gives the nebula its characteristic bluish colour, enhanced by the dust particles, which scatter blue light more efficiently than red.
Location and Size: It lies approximately 900 to 1,000 light-years from Earth and spans about 50 light-years, making it a large structure in the sky.
Illumination: The bright light from Rigel is the primary source of illumination, but other nearby stars also contribute. The nebula's reflection effect is similar to how Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight.
Appearance: Its spooky, ghostly shape and faint glow make it a striking subject for astrophotographers and astronomers.
Astronomical Interest: The nebula's dusty regions are of interest for studying the processes of star formation and the interaction of starlight with interstellar matter.
The Witch Head Nebula is a fascinating example of how simple interstellar materials can create striking, familiar shapes in the cosmos when viewed from Earth.

A tricolored heron goes for a fish. This guy still has the Phoenix birding geeks (like me) in a tizzy. They don't normally reside here, preferring the Baja of California or Coastal Texas or Florida. But the desert? - not so much. We do occasionally get some coastal birds as the remnants of a hurricane blows them from the Baja of California or something, but they're usually only here a day or two and move on. This one's been here a month.
47826 crosses the River Dee approaching Hawarden Bridge station with the Branch Line Society Railtour The Ruby Valentine. The tour was welcomed to the station by a party of cyclists who had stopped wondering why all these people were at the station. Sadly the railtour derailed just around the corner, in Dee Marsh Sidings, curtailing the trip round part of the Merseyrail network.
A typical British Bank Holiday / Public Holiday with gales and rain. A good day to make marmalade and end up with nine jars : )
I've been making books for a new diorama : ) It's going to be 1/6th, but these could also be used in 1/12th.

Beer and bread making was described in several scale models found in graves. In the foreground of the scale model is a man his knees grinding grain against a saddle-shaped grindstone and behind him another kneading bread dough. The one behind it may also crumble the bread into a beer bowl, as the processes look the same. There has probably been a small bread oven in front of the seated person, which he has loosened with a fan.

With the timetable slipping slightly. USATC S160 5820 "Big Jim" makes a racket away from Oakworth with a service to Oxenhope
I oftentimes have found that I don't post to the group on Friday because I avoid the challenge of high or low key shooting. I couldn't sleep and woke up early to put some soup in the crock pot for lunch and since I was making spicy soup and it was dark it enticed me to pull out the tripod and go low key. Not sure about the composition but I know I won't improve and get over my apprehension unless I practice. Even if I didn't get a perfect picture I will have lunch ready. :)

The pattern for these can be found on Sarah London's blog. Here's the link for round one . I just stitched them together at the petal points, then did a single crochet around the edges, chaining two where the petals come together.
It certainly is making me smile today!
