Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) (TV)
This pumpkin patch sits right behind my backyard. This is the first year that our neighbor planted his pumpkins close enough that I could get a photo of them. So happy that a doll could go finally pumpkin picking back there. He sells them at his farm stand. :)

"The Golden Arches are now more widely recognized than the Christian cross"
"Researchers have found that children can often recognize a company logo, like the Golden Arches, before they can recognize their own name."
"...the Happy Meals, two-for-one deals, and free refills of soda give a false sense of how much fast food actually costs. The real price never appears on the menu."
"McDonald's buys its Happy Meal toys from manufacturers in countries where the prices are low...Too often the lives of the workers who make Happy Meal toys are anything but happy."
"During the 1980s, McDonald's became one of the world's largest purchasers of satellite photographs taken from outer space."
"A medium Coke that sells for $1.29 contains about 9 cents' worth of syrup. Buying a large Coke for $1.49 instead,...will add another 3 cents' worth of syrup... You can make a lot of money selling sugar and water in a paper cup."

Behind the leader of EB 36T-16, two of NS's more recent purchases trail, both ex CEFX SD9043MAC's (NS 7333/7332) have recently been put into service, but only temporarily until they rebuilt into SD70ACu's.
The Wisconsin Integrated Cropping Systems Trials (WICST) Project was initiated in 1989 to address issues of sustainability of alternative farming systems. The hub of the WICST project activities are two crop rotation trials at Arlington Agricultural Research Station and the Lakeland Agricultural Complex in Walworth County. These trials compare three cash grain and three forage-based production systems. The production systems vary in crop diversity and use of purchased inputs. They range from continuous corn to rotational grazing and the performance criteria include productivity, environmental impact and profitability. Photos by Sevie Kenyon, UW-Madison CALS

A long standing tradition after an EVA is to put the expedition crew patch into the air lock.

I've been messing around with my new polaroid land camera a lot lately. It's taken me longer than usual to get used to this little camera. After messing up an entire roll of film, I got handle of pulling the film out of the camera.
I went to a pumpkin patch in Carnation, WA the other day. It was a beautiful fall day so I couldn't resist bring along the camera.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to carry the images around without messing them up. For this one, I folded the image back together with the negative and the emulsion left some marks on the image. Oh well, now I know!
Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) in a field beside our house. The field is heavily grazed but the cattle dont like any bits where the thistles have taken over.
Normally i am glad of this wild patch as the flowers ares very attractive to the honey bees (this patch is about 150m from my apiary) but this year there are hardly any bees working it. All the honey bees foraging this year seem to be on the clover. I think with the heat and drought we have had here, the clover seems to be producing great nectar.
Similarly i have a large overgrown privet in the garden in full flower, normally it would be abuzz with honey bees but this year they are mostly ignoring it.

A pair of SD40s are in helper service on CSX's Sand Patch Grade in southwest Pennsylvania. The train is coming to a stop at Manila so the helper pair can cut away and return east down the Alleghenies to Cumberland, June 27, 1992. The 8361 is a former C&O 7502 while the 8257 is obviously of B&O lineage.

You might be wondering what The Ocean Cleanup finds most often in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. During each plastic extraction, we capture thousands of plastic items. The crew then has the huge task of categorizing and individually inspecting every object to learn more about what’s really accumulating in the massive gyre.
The Ocean Cleanup has found that a surprising 75% to 86% of plastics in the garbage patch actually come from fishing activities at sea. Nets, ropes, buoys, floats, and other fishing gear are incredibly common items we pulled out of the ocean. It’s important to remove these bigger pieces of plastic before they find their way to shore and break down into microplastics.
I was amazed to see how many eel traps there were (actually, first I had to learn what eel traps even were!). We decided to make a point and put aside as many traps as possible so we could photograph the scale. The black traps seen in earlier pictures were only collected from a couple extractions. If we put them aside every extraction, it would be an unimaginable amount! This was definitely one of my favorite shots I put together, as one of my goals while out there was to help create impactful visuals to shine light on the issue of plastic pollution.
Stay tuned for my next posts, showcasing some of the weird and interesting items we collected!

I want a portrait kit to get closer! Please let me know if you have one for sale.
Today my friends Mellie and Patches came by my house, and we went to the park and took some pictures. It's simple nothing great :|
Thanks to Zack for the adorable testimonial :}!
Prototype of a flexible health patch weighing just 10g – half the weight of current products. The patch uses real-time electrocardiogram (ECG), tissue-contact impedance and accelerometer information to accurately monitor physical activity.
This is Patch, the daughter of Lily. She's very shy and skittish and will not do anything without Lily. Patch and Lems get along fine and Patch follows Lems around everywhere. Lems is not kept with either of them though. Really Patch acts like a baby, even though she too is bigger than Lemons. She isn't as big a food lover as Lems is, but she is a much louder squeaker :)
Western Patchnose Snake (Salvadora hexalepis), Superstition Mountains, AZ
From the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum:
Distinguishing Features
This slender, docile snake reaches 1¼ to 3¼ feet (107 cm) in length. Most noticeable is the large, patch-like rostral scale on the end of the nose. A wide yellow or beige stripe with a dark border runs down the center of the back; one dark stripe runs down each side. Occasionally the stripes are broken or obscured by crossbars. The belly is pale, sometimes faintly orange. Males have keeled scales at the base of the tail and above the anal opening.
Range
This snake is found in the southwestern United States, northwestern Mexico, and Baja California. It is also found on Isla Tiburn and Isla San Jos in the Gulf of Mexico.
Habitat
The patchnose snake is found in sandy soils or rocky areas in lowland desert with open creosote bush flats or desertscrub. It is also found in grasslands to the lower slopes of mountains with chaparral, and in pinyon-juniper woodlands as high as 7000 feet (2100 m).
Life History
Active in the daytime year round in warmer climates, this snake is crepuscular in the heat of the summer. In milder climates it may be active from early April to early November. The enlarged rostral scale is useful for burrowing in both loose sandy areas or rocky areas in search of its food: lizards, grasshoppers, small mammals, and reptile eggs. While the western patchnose snake does not constrict its prey, it does throw loops of its body on top of the prey to subdue it. It locates reptile eggs by scent, using its nose to unearth them. Much like the whipsnake, it moves quickly on the ground, and may climb into the lower branches of vegetation. If picked up it will thrash wildly. During the summer, it lays 4 to 10 eggs. Eleven inch long hatchlings emerge in late summer.
