Now clear of Bellows Falls, the Pan Am Railway blasts off with an SD40-2 leading a pair of former CSX Dash 8's, heading south on the evening of 9-9-17.

Bee's in flight are always a challenge, this one was just lifting off the lavender, it was almost only a stretch to the next one. Sigma EF-610 flash used. (1/4000th)
I again apologize for any downgraded quality, I’m still without my main editing laptop, so I’m uploading via a saved version on my iPhone X.
This was my first journey out onto the Pacific Ocean to look for whales as part of an Airbnb Experience.
Unlike most Whale watching boats that hold 45-60 people on a large vessel, and adhering to time restraints, this one was a newer fishing boat. It held a max of 6 people, had a small upper deck which held the captain along with a steering wheel and GPS systems, and a lower deck for sleeping/eating. The owner/captain turned and I ended up forming a small friendship. I spend lots of time off grid, as does he, however he has much more experience in much more wilderness than I. It was an absolutely amazing opportunity. He ended up inviting me to stay on the boat for the afternoon session, which I graciously accepted.
It was my first time seeing a whale in its natural habitat, well, not really just one, more like almost 20! Truly a moving experience, one I’ll never ever forget.

I thought I'd post a photo of me wearing one of my favorite strapless dresses to kick off 2013. I hope you like it and will leave a comment.
An E-3 Sentry (AWACS) prepares for a refuel from a KC-135R Stratotanker Aug. 20, 2014, over Illinois. The E-3 is assigned to the Air Force Reserve’s 513th Air Control Group at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., and the KC-135 is assigned to the Air Force Reserve’s 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. Indiana’s two flying wings partnered together to fly 37 employers of guardsmen and reservists on a ‘boss lift’ aimed at educating them about their employees’ military service and responsibilities.

Lift-off of Delta IV Heavy with the Orion Spacecraft - Would have loved for there to be better lighting for this launch, but still was a pleasure to witness.
Base of Cira Centre (north), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. High-rise was inspired, in part, by Liberty One & Two high-rises.

Right before the neck popped off in the car. Clean pop, I just forgot that I had temp pins in one section. Whoops. Time to harden it up.

Seeing two planes about to take off from the Livermore Municipal Airport, I preset my rangefinder to infinity focus while the shutter speed set to above 1/250s. At the moment, they lifted off from the runway, I pressed the shutter and captured this shot. Unfortunately, I had a 35mm lens mounted on the camera, my shot left a lot of space in the sky. I didn't want to capture too much of the ground. This was probably the first time I used my rangefinder for shooting airplanes in motion.

This is our 15 year old Granddaughter Ashley the young man is
Alden, they are in the same Church here. These are the only two from this area that made it to the Assemblies of God Fine Arts Nationals in Houston. They left today for Houston for one week where they will be singing in competition.
Ashley has a golden voice and we are all wishing her well. She is very nervous going for the 1st time on an Airplane and being in this National event. Alden's mother is going along to keep everything sorted out so they eat right, and get to their events etc.
These kids have been working for almost three months to raise the money for this with yard sales, bake sales, donations from friends and relatives, and they did it all themselves.
This silo caught my attention as it looks like the booster tanks of the Space Shuttle. No extra saturation added, just added some tonal contrast from colour effex pro.
