A pair of venerable NS Dash 9s bring a short intermodal towards Chicago, passing through Pine Junction, Gary, Indiana.
A real joy to finally meet the pair of pine marten kits whose antics have been entertaining me via my trail camera footage.
Having been absent from my area last year, I have seen flocks of these tiny birds congregated in people's feeders this winter.
Growing evergreen pine in tropical Philippines must be a challenge. Weather in the Philippines is consistently too hot and wet but there will always be some species resilient enough to adapt and thrive. The one shown here is not exactly rare but they only grow well if planted in shaded cool spots.

Apparently this guy is really hungry for fresh veggies. He was picking and eating the "buds" from this little pine, even though the feeder filled with sunflower seeds was only a few feet away.
Of course since his altercation with a red-breasted nuthatch a few days ago, maybe he's afraid to go to the feeder.
One of a couple Pine Siskin which I spotted in some trees near Whitehorse.
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and EF 400mm f/5.6 adapted with the Canon EF-EOS R Adapter. I also used a monopod to provide some stability for the non-stabilized body or lens. Final image processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom.
Pine Lake (or as I like to call it, Mosquito Lake) in spring with the normally dry campground benches surrounded by melt water. The lake itself is still covered by a layer of rapidly thinning ice. On the day I took this photo, the mosquitoes were already starting. I was surprised to find myself brushing off a pesky little blighter while enjoying my packed sandwich. For them to be out even before the ice has melted should tell you something about Pine Lake. In the summertime, this particular site seems to be mosquito heaven! All of that said, it is a special place for many, and certainly packed with its own special beauty.
This image is a three exposure HDR. The original photos were taken with the Canon EOS R and EF 17-40 F/4.0 L mounted to a sturdy tripod and triggered by remote.
Our Beloved Garden
Many people associate Kanazawa city with its stunning Japanese garden, Kenroku-En. One of the three great gardens of Japan, guidebooks often list it as a must-see attraction.
The three Chinese characters that make up its name reveal the philosophy behind the garden.
The first character, “ken”, means to hold multiple functions. The middle one, “roku”, is the number six. The final character, “en”, signifies garden. All together the name literally means “a garden with six functions”. So what are these functions, and who decided them?
They are derived from a Chinese poem composed about the nineteen great gardens of China. Kenroku-En has six features in direct contradiction of each other.
The closest English equivalent to these pairings would be spaciousness and profoundness, artificialness and antiquity, water fountain landscapes and mountain panoramas.
This once-private garden for Lord Maeda officially opened to the public in 1872.
An entrance free was introduced in 1976, though residents of Ishikawa prefecture are exempt on weekends. It is also free to everyone during New Year’s and days designated for enjoying the beauty of nature, such as during the cherry blossom season and harvest moon.
Located in the heart of downtown, its not uncommon to see the residents of nearby homes walking or jogging around the premises. The garden is not only a popular destination for tourists, but a beloved park for the citizens as well.

Well this is a first for me, not a first sighting but the first time I have managed to capture a pine siskin image. Actually, it is only the second winter I have ever seen these on the farm. I have had a single, little male coming to the feeder with the goldfinches for about a month now. And yesterday he turned up with a mate and a second pair of siskins accompanying him. Hope they hang around for a while they are neat little birds. (Please correct me if I am wrong on the ID.)
