Candy and Brandy with Bashful Bear for Smile on Saturday theme of Odd One Out. 👧🐻👧

On Friday March 25th, it was decided to get some stored Metra equipment out of the city to better accommodate our track department as they embark on a tie project on the Elgin Sub this spring. One underutilized location is our Antioch Coach Yard, which with post-COVID schedules leaves us with some room to spare. Here's METX 11 pulling a dozen oldies north over the Fox Lake Sub diamond at Grayslake. The F40's are all older unrebuilt models that have ben pushed out of service since the coming of the Amtrak F59PHI's and were used primarily on the Union Pacific purchase of service lines.

This spotted towhee was flirting with another in our yard. It flew from the fence to the tree, then down to this thing - it's an old hospital screen that my wife picked up when the hospital modernized. It's now used in our garden as a support - of plants in additional to these random birds!

Captured for Macro Mondays theme: Odd. HMM everyone!

And it comes form a hot spring in Italy :-) Odd is never rare, remember :-)

Mr L bought me some lovely flowers in gorgeous autumn colours and nestled hidden in the middle was this pink Gerbera. Very pretty in its own right but clashing badly with the rest. So Miss odd one out got taken out and put in her own vase. Thanks for viewing and have a lovely Sunday 💕

Orchid cultivars of Thai origin, all lined up with one showing a little individuality.

everyday items that are used all the time can easily be overlooked..

The bronze boot is the odd one out among the yellow high heel shoes.

On my daily walk, I came across this lone Poppy among wild grasses on the side of the street.

The newly opened 'Bazalgette Embankment' has seating with a unique design.

Kids love to feed the hundreds of American Coots at Lake Balboa. This Mallard was trying to compete for a meal - a difficult, if not impossible, challenge.

One of the final shots from the bookstore, I found this to be an odd combination for subject matter on the table so captured it and made a great slide for Sliders Sunday.

I eat a lot of garlic. I wonder if that is why visitors don't stay long?

These hearts were very unruly and did not want to cooperate while setting them up.

A lovely lot of final instar nymphs, with just one 4th instar snuggled in amongst them, waiting his turn to moult!
