The Expedition 70 patch is designed around the central yin-yang symbol representing balance; first and foremost, the balance of our beautiful planet Earth that is encircled by the yin-yang symbol and which forms part of the Expedition number. In our exploration of space, we are reminded of the uniqueness of Earth; the further we push the boundaries of human existence, the stronger our longing for our home planet grows. As our understanding of the cosmos expands, so does our understanding of Earth, and although we live in an ever-changing world, we recognize the need for a planet in balance to ensure our future.
Space exploration is also about creating the future of our dreams. The tentative first steps we take today will hopefully become a well-trodden path in the future. This is represented stylistically by the “retro-futuristic” design of the patch, which mimics the design of the posters depicting the future from the early days of the space age. It is also emphasized by the yellow, orange, and red colors suggesting a sunrise. Lastly, the dynamism in the depiction of the number 7 suggests not only the physical launch into space, but also humanity’s progress towards the future.
Patch #4 for the Craftster embroidery patch swap. I found this super awesome image off of a search engine and now can't find it again! It says "Monsieur Hedgehog Takes His Tea with Cream, No Sugar". I think it's my favorite so far!
Patch has patchwork sides and a body made out of a cashmere sweater.
Dog pattern is a free pattern by Denyse Schmidt.
CSX Q410 rolls past ongoing Metro construction in Franconia back in 1994. The former RF&P mainline was firmly under CSX control and patched GP40 6858 is unfortunate photographic evidence of that fact.
It's even worse now considering that in 1999 Conrail also went away. We can never have nice things.

On a walk around Mona Vale Christchurch September 2, 2016 New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with Heritage New Zealand (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.

Our first morning in Cromwell. We woke to heavy fog which took a while to lift. Driving along the Felton Road to go to our next winery tasting at Felton Road winery.

The Central Otago wine region is the world's southern-most commercial wine growing region. Central Otago's best-known wines are its Pinot noirs, but many white wine varieties are also popular. The Central Otago Wine Region is the formal geographic indication for wines grown in Central Otago.
At around 300 metres (980 ft) elevation, Central Otago's vineyards are protected from New Zealand's characteristic maritime climate by high mountains up to 3,700 metres (12,100 ft) . They thus have the only true continental climate zone in the country, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. Rainfall averages around 375-600mm: summer is hot and relatively dry, and often accompanied by the Nor'wester foehn wind; autumn is short, cool and sunny; and winter is cold, with substantial falls of snow. Heavy frosts are common throughout winter and, indeed, frost can occur at any time between March and November. One of Central Otago's warmest wine growing areas can be found just north of the Lowburn Inlet area.

A patch of light falls on the forest floor, while a single fern stem reaches up above all around it to make the most of the additional light.

I had intended, all summer, to visit a creamery just outside of town. People say it's where to go for the best ice cream! Today, I stumbled on Patches Creamery. No one had exaggerated; the ice cream is incredible. They also have a wonderful team of alpacas, goats, geese, ducks, and miniature horses to greet customers as they arrive.
It's almost worth going just for the animals!

NREX SD20 2039 was smacking the BNSF diamond at Savanna with IMRL train 263 during Ultra-High Sun in 1998. IMRL SD45s 8925 and 358 were following the former Illinois Central rebuild on the way west.
And did I chase this friggin' fantastic consist across Iowa? Uh, nope.
Just (barely!) in time for St. Patrick's day, these clover patches come in 3 versions: more sparkle, less sparkle, and no sparkle. Each also has a texture menu with 6 colors of clovers to choose from.
1 li each and copy/modify!

Some TOSRV (Tour of the Scioto River Valley) patches from the golden age. The 1967 TOSRV was part of the Columbus AYH council Rally Series, and “TOSRV” doesn’t appear on that patch. It was the first TOSRV (and my first, aged 11) to exceed 200 riders, unprecedented in post WWII American cycling. By the 80s the route was clogged with 6000+ riders. Tour Director Charlie Pace inspired armies of volunteers to keep things running smoothly. Greg Siple designed nearly all of these patches, though father Charles Siple weighed in on round 1995 patch (upper left). I rode it 42 times, so not a complete collection.
