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

Deep in the Woodcrest shops in Homewood, IL, BCOL 4626 sits awaiting repairs on a damaged cylinder that failed en route while it led CN M340 about 10 days prior. While they may be aging, and their days are getting short thanks to their odd body style, they still get the same love that all CN units get from the capable shop hands that CN employs at the vast shop facilities.
The green tree was the only one in this woodland. I really like that and the texture and colour of the bark of the three front trees right on the edge of the wood

For the group, Macro Mondays, and this week's theme: "The Odd One." Two "odd ones" here: 1. Two of the knives are American Flag knives and the odd one is a Christmas theme; 2. Two of the knives are emblazoned with the Swiss Army Logo, and the other is not.
Happy Macro Monday!

Completed in 1931, the Pittsburgh & West Virginia’s mainline to Connellsville became the final link in creating the famed “Alphabet Route”, which was designed to attract through-traffic off of the big time railroad empires of the century. After the fall of Robert Gould’s empire, the plan to expand had faded off. Years later, under new receivership was the mainline revitalized.
There was nothing wasted when it came to designing and laying this route, bulldozing through every hill and filling every land gap with these enormous steel viaducts. Having seen so many photos growing up and shooting it dozens of times, this line remains to be a favorite in my books, and in my opinion, one of the most photogenic lines on the East coast.
In this picture, Wheeling’s 618 job stretches their consist over Mingo Creek, probably the most iconic location on the entire route.
Interestingly enough, in April of 2025, this exact scenario had occurred. The 6348, 6354, and engines for SWP led this same job, in similar conditions, almost a year ago. Though I was not present for the April run, it’s an odd feeling to see this scene repeated almost verbatim, in a time where uncertainty rests upon this railroad. These coke trains really do have a special spot in my heart, and so the addiction to shooting them continues.
Today, storms missed Cheyenne like there was an invisible barrier over the city. For two hours before sunset, this thunderstorm moved out of northeast Colorado to the northwest (everything was moving east all day) and died minutes after this image just south of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. It would have been an epic lightning show but at least I got to see a thunderset (thunderstorm at sunset).
This storm was 50 miles away.
