Pumpkin Patch

Maple Ridge, BC

This October scene caught my eye.

A young boy stops his bike overlooking the Pumpkin Farm.

Meanwhile a young lady is captured taking a photo of a pumpkin with her cell phone.

Her partner appears to be lost in thought.

Remnants of summer corn border the country property.

Thanks for viewing

Pre Happy Halloween,

There you have it Oliver. :-))

This barn appears to have been patched up many times over the years. The roof, the sides, the additions. It all makes for a unique look. The dusting of snow adds a nice touch as well!

Selective focus on one bud on my Winter Gladioli which are providing much needed colour in the garden at the moment.

Spare a thought for Queensland again facing major flooding for the 3rd time this year. And at such a late stage in the year!

I'll be off for a couple of days so will hopefully be able to comment & respond to comments next week.

The past few years I've been wanting to capture a pumpkin patch, but I always seem to be too late in the season. This time I got it! :) The one down the road--actually in Orting--was already gone, with NOTHING left!--but this one in McMillin is still in good shape, as you can see! They must've planted just a little later.

I just love the vibrant orange of the pumpkins...and I like the barns and the past-peak trees in the background. Hope you enjoy as well!

It is that time of year and the pumpkin patches are busy with families getting out to enjoy our lovely fall weather. I had to get out early yesterday to get a couple of shots before the crowds descended. Maan Farm Market, Abbotsford, B.C.

Having completed a brief stop after cresting the summit at Sand Patch, Pennsylvania, four second-generation geeps get a westbound pig train moving.

California Patch

Both boxcars seen here are patched for Conrail. The white one is former LV while the other is obviously former NYC (thus former Penn Central).

These are cars I weathered and patched and I'm running them on a friend's railroad for his first-ever open house.

Two images from a walk around local roads today.

A common garden bird throughout much of Asia, found in open forests, fields, and parks; introduced to several regions around the world. Often tame and approachable. Brown overall with a rosy breast and a unique white-spotted black nape patch. Plumage shows slight regional variation: western birds have dark centers to wing feathers, lacking in eastern birds. Turtle-doves are larger, have black centers to wing feathers and stripes rather than spots on the neck. Coos loudly and often: “coo-a-roooo”. (eBird)

---------------

A familiar bird to us but welcome nevertheless. We saw or heard this pretty dove most days during our time in Singapore, usually deep in the trees or on the ground.

An eastbound Union Pacific coal train exits the Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on October 2, 2008. The lead locomotive is a former Chicago & North Western GE AC4400CW that is now patched and renumbered UP No. 6718. The strange off-center yellow patch and UP logo on the nose is allowing a peek at the famous C&NW ball and bar logo.

Found two Pumpkins at the Pumpkin patch

Wheaton's parking deck was the place to be as a M-PRCB was heading for Proviso behind a patched C40-8 and a pure Chicago and North Western C44-9W.

UP eventually wiped the North Western off of the face of the Geneva Subdivision and today it is nothing but Union Pacific on the freights through here.

After a misstep with car issues I had enough time to make Hazel Patch to join the large contingent of fans waiting for K423's helpers to couple up for the assault of Crooked Hill.

I only saw a single bordered patch butterfly, but it posed for me with both open and closed wings.

There are two cat cafés in Glasgow, Purrple Cat Café and Meow Café. For those who are stuck between the two of them (What else do you people spend time doing on vacation exactly?!?!), I enjoyed both but Purrple Cat Café has cats that are not pure bred cats which I like more. There are so many wonderful cats in this world who need homes even if they aren't "instagrammable" (Who cares-ALL CATS are instagrammable!) Anyway, Purrple Cat Café had over 30 cats but it was such a well taken care of place without even any smells that I was highly impressed. It gets my highest cat café recommendation which is 6/5 happy cats !
