A re-edit of an old shot from 2016. I've been going through the archives, trying to make a bit more space on HD.
And it's not even my desk, it is my wife's! Of course, I will clean up once the photos are done. However, I find these painting paraphernalia picturesque and sometimes evocative. They do seem to have a visual "Mehrwert" and point to something beyond, something not yet accomplished. Fuji X-Pro1.
Hi there,
Last summer, one of my goals was to try and capture a bee in-flight with my macro lens. This is one of my bizillion attempts.
Thank you for taking the time to look and for leaving me a comment! Have an amazing day!

Truckers call this stretch of mountain just East of Pendleton Oregon "Cabbage" but don't ask me why. One story was a truck loaded with cabbage crashed coming down, but lots of trucks have crashed coming down so why cabbage would get the name, who knows, but ask any trucker that's been driving a few years and they'll know about Cabbage hill. The the truck in this shot is headed East, I was standing just below the West bound lanes. I had parked at the scenic view point and hiked back to the highway and crossed over to get an open view of the mountains and highway below. (I'll include a link to my truck and the scenic view point)
Been back and forth between Phoenix and Los Angeles the past few days, at our Jurupa Valley terminal tonight and have tomorrow off, sort of, picking up Monday morning at 0300, so Mondays gonna kinda sucks, but getting layover pay which is double on the weekends. $200 for a day off, not bad.
Internet here is better at night, so gonna do as much tonight on Flickr as possible, and tomorrow even with slower internet should be able to do more viewing.
Hope you're all having a great weekend taking beautiful pictures.

A quick upload of some photographs taken in the wonderful Museum of Making (I’m still not happy about the name, it seems like ‘Industrial Museum’ was too highbrow). Still, the exhibits and space are all ubër interesting. Of necessity I’m leaving the descriptions until later when I’ve more time…I’ve a dead laptop battery to replace first. Honestly, my MacBook Pro needs a new battery every 12 years, it’s just not good enough 😂
This hen pheasant looks pretty lonely and cold on a windy day in the Minnesota countryside as the winter wind flicks up the feathers around its head.
Though pheasants are hardy birds our winters can be deadly especially if we get serial snow storms that cover potential food sources and fills in normal ground cover that pheasants rely on for protection and warmth.
The diet of pheasants changes from the one in the summer when the DNR says they eat insects, weed seeds, corn, soybeans and other crops. During our cold and snowy months they turn more toward weed seeds and fallen grain, tree buds and small fruits left hanging on branches.
Decades ago in our farming community, farmers had smaller fields ringed by fences that allowed for a natural habitat for pheasants as several feet on each side of the fence was usually unplowed and grown over with vegetation. Some farmers would also leave several rows of corn unpicked to provide both winter food as well as cover.
Day 3 of the black and white photo food challenge. One day I will make efforts to shoot with a hand model so that I don't have to struggle and contort myself to make a shot. I am set up in my basement next to the only isolated North facing window in the house. Sourdough bread is a labor of love. I had a starter in my fridge but when I went on vacation it went bad so I decided to order one from King Arthur Flour. It is a starter that has been around since the 1700's. This is my first loaf of bread attempted with the new starter, I am excited!
Lago Torre and Glacier Torre. Similar to an earlier shot in the series but it was taken on the way back and from a point slightly lower on the mountain.
The Moyka River is a small river in Russia that encircles the central portion of Saint Petersburg, effectively making it an island. The river, originally known as Mya, derives its name from the Ingrian word for "slush" or "mire". It is 5 kilometres (3 mi) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide.
The river flows from the Fontanka River near the Summer Garden past the Field of Mars, crosses Nevsky Avenue and the Kryukov Canal before entering the Neva River delta. It is also connected with the Neva by the Swan Canal and the Winter Canal.
In 1711 Peter the Great ordered the consolidation of the banks of the river. After the Kryukov Canal linked it with the Fontanka River four years later, the Moyka became so much clearer that its name was changed from Mya to Moyka, associated with the Russian verb "to wash".
Magnificent 18th-century edifices lining the Moyka quay include the Stroganov Palace, Razumovsky Palace, Yusupov Palace, New Holland Arch, Circular Market, St. Michael's Castle, and the last accommodation and museum of Alexander Pushkin.
Too many citrus fruits! HSS!
and yes, it was a little chunky in spots. It turned out fine though

Na het 1ste plaatje van de Turkse ICE werd er naar 'n andere stek op de testring gereden. Hier passeert op volle snelheid TCDD Velaro TR_ HT 80113 door de bocht op de PCW SIEMENS testring.

After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.
I don't want no VAMPIRE biting me in the neck, so here comes the garlic AND the rest of the family, red onion, shallots, surely I'll be safe ?????? LOL TEE HEEEEEE
thanx for your visits and comments, most appreciated, M, (*_*)

She is making bread, but what is this woman thinking about? Her husband? What she was reading by the fire last night? When I ask that question, I think of Spinoza, the 17th century European freethinker. Let's toss our assumptions about her aside. So I asked NotebookLM to do a podcast about how new ideas in the 17th century found their way to the middling sort in England.

An impromptu piano playing session after brunch. My girls are playing piano together here and my heart just melts enjoying the togetherness.
Columbia & Reading Railway's Alco S2 number 226 comes to a halt by their trackmobile which will be moved out of the siding shortly to make room for more storage cars. CORY is currently receiving 120 propane cars for storage on their line in Columbia, PA. Five cars at a time are received each morning from NS as their interchange can only hold that amount, meaning they will be operating daily until all 120 are on the property.
