I think this is Yellow Patch (Amanita flavoconia) mushroom.
Photo taken hand-held. Amazingly, I was able to align and focus stack 9 photos, one of which had to be manually moved and masked. Then, I used a touch of an AI brush to clean up the mess between the focus and out of focus layers. HSS!
CSX local Y-217 was working the west end of Winans Yard in West Baltimore back in 1992. Former Western Maryland Railway GP40 3798 and Baltimore and Ohio GP38 4814 were both looking ragged but nonetheless awesome.
The WM motor went on as Indiana Southern 4041 and the B&O geep is now a rebuilt GP38-3 working for the Wichita Tillman & Jackson Railway after a stint in the lease fleet and work for the Union Pacific.
I&M Rail Link SD40 203, built in 1966 for the Pennsylvania Railroad as their 6069, was leading SD45 382, a former Seaboard Coast Line motor, on train 264 on the Elgin Subdivision at B12 Interlocking in Franklin Park in 1998.
The patched 203 was still wearing Conrail colors and was passed on to the ICE when they took over in 2002.
It has since been scrapped.
This is the Teasel Patch I used to capture all the macros in. It was a good sized patch with many plants easily over 6 foot tall. Lucky for me there were some closer to the ground that still had some flowers on them.
iPhone 4 to capture and iPad 3 to edit.
This photo features the Crimson-patched Longwing (Heliconius erato), taken at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. Capturing the vivid red patches against the delicate black wings of this butterfly was a thrilling challenge. The setting provided a lush green background, making the butterfly’s colors pop. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/60 second to capture the fluttering movement of the butterfly, combined with an aperture of f/11 and ISO 800 to ensure a deep depth of field and crisp details. The Canon R5, paired with the RF 100-400mm lens and a 1.4x extender, allowed for an effective focal length of 560mm, essential for this close-up.
From a photographer's perspective, this image highlights the delicate balance between technical settings and the subject's natural beauty. The butterfly, in its later stages of life with parts of its wings worn, tells a story of survival and grace. Emerald Valley is a prime location for butterfly photography, thanks to the conservation efforts led by Robert Gallardo. His dedication to preserving these species is evident in the thriving butterfly population at the nature center.

I was visiting Mirror Lake, in the High Uinta Mountains in Utah on an overcast day, when a patch of blue suddenly opened up.
Wearing patches over its DMIR paint, EJ&E SD-M #804 sits at Kirk awaiting its next job. Built as DMIR SD9 #169 in April 1959, this unit now works for IBCX.
A heavy fog descended on us this morning creating an interesting solid bluish backdrop to everything at first morning light. That "blue wall" is normally a free view over the sea to another shoreline 4 km away so it is very unusual to see it like this and I don't expect it to happen in the exact same way again. This lamppost with its yellow lights pointed at the green lawn below made for a weird and unusual combination of colours. I wasn't able to find a way to overcome the ugly circular artefacts introduced by the flickr algorithms but luckily they do not show up in the print.
A gray catbird, checking out the poke-berry patch. There are a few beginning to ripen but he's going to have to wait a week or so before the real feast begins.
Come to the Pumpkin Patch at Seminole Heights United Methodist Church down on the corner of Central & Hanna in Seminole Heights. The Patch will be open 12-8 p.m. Sunday through Friday, and 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturdays until Halloween.
For World Photography Day - I didn't enter that Flickr group, by the way. Why? Because I believe the world doesn't need more pretty photos right now. The world needs clarity.
What a shit show.
In early May 2011, a US 30 roadtrip across Nebraska on a beautiful spring day brought me and a friend to the pedestrian bridge across the UP's triple track Kearney Sub at Lexington. You don't have to wait long to see a train. First up was an eastbound coal load with a patched SP unit on the rear. In the distance, the headlight of a westbound is already in sight.
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.
You might not know it by name, but Sand Patch Grade is a well-known spot to photograph trains.
This is one of my favorite slides in my collection. As a kid I thought the Chessie System logos and colors were the coolest thing, ever. This image, taken by David Leonard, perfectly frames the colors of the Chessie, and those turbo V-16's working hard on the 2% grade that is the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania.
This is a hi-res drum scan of a 35mm Kodachrome 64 slide, photographed in Mance, PA on October 28, 1978.
