A pair of freshly rebuilt BNSF 1400 series SD60Ms serve as power for the road local and is seen between jobs at the interchange yard between BNSF and TXNW in Cactus, Texas.
They say the more that you shoot the better you'll get and stopping off at a local nature spot on the way to work certainly paid off for me the other day. This is a lovely pair of Chalkhill Blue (Polyommatus icarus), sleeping in the long grass - they are relatively common chalk butterflies.
To get shots like this it's really worthwhile getting up early in the morning, because they're on their sleeping plant and unlikely to fly away in a hurry. Blues in particular sleep at the top of stems so getting nice low aperture shots is very doable. Anyone else have any butterfly photography tips to share?
"I remember their smooth skin,
those newly delivered,
the pink skin and the serious China-blue eyes.
They came from a mysterious country
without the pang of birth,
born quietly and well."
Anne Sexton (1928-1974)
" Pink is the color of many girls,
it is the color of the fashion world!
Pink is the attitude of a princess,
it’s the sensation of buying a new dress!
Pink is the scent of a pricy perfume,
it’s the explosion when a flower blooms!
Pink is soft like a fluffy pillow,
it is cool like a wind that billows,
pink is sweet like cotton candy,
pink is girly, cute and dandy! "
Kelly Curiel

This pair was defending their territory; the nest must have been close by the hotel I was staying in because they were flying around a perch very close to my window.

According to ukbutterflies.co.uk, large blues stay 'in cop' for about an hour, and this pair certainly lived up to that giving us lots of photo opportunities.
Noticed a group with lenses & binoculars trained on an area in the reedbed, full marks to whoever spotted this pair because they were well hidden.
Lots of Bitterns at this reserve, often heard but rarely spotted.

With no practical light left, we view L74 eastbound from the E State Rd overpass. To the left, I-75 parallels the tracks until Findlay.
Running long hood forward, 6113 of the N&W contentedly drifts up the Lima District, illuminating sweatflies and mosquitos with it's headlights. They will soon be making a stop to work the Pandora Grain & Supply elevators just behind us.
Despite the road's respectable condition, the locals on the Lima District are only good for 15 mph running due to it being dark territory paired with the hazardous chemical tanks that regularly travel to and from Lima. This makes photos of this train outside of Lima exceedingly difficult to shoot in daylight even during the endless days of Summer.
A good pair of eyes will spot the friendly wave from the engineer.
