Black and white re-edit of a shot from October 2018. Enjoy!
Yesterday morning I was at the park for a walk in cold and rather gloomy weather. As usual I couldn't resist to take some photos of the crocuses there. The ones with the purple stripes are my favourites.

Amtrak's beautifully painted Phase IV heritage P42 leads train 176 through Crystal City, inbound from Roanoke. This section of the RF&P is ripe for a few planned improvements over the next decade. The single-track VRE platform (where I am standing for this photo) is scheduled to be replaced with a larger multi-track station about where the train is in this photo. Also in the works is the addition of a fourth track between RO and AF interlockings, easing congestion on the bottleneck between Alexandria and DC.
Pinstripe Longhorn Beetle (Syllitus rectus)
I thought Pinstripe Pat deserved another image for BBBT.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Amtrak's Phase IV heritage painted P42 has spent the past week heading up and down the route of the Carolinian. Having returned north to DC on the previous day's 80, I wagered Saturday's 79 would have the 164 leading again so I set up for them at L'Enfant. With the extreme humidity it took me a couple minutes to de-fog my lens but luckily I had just enough time to get them here, with exactly the power I had hoped for.

A previously unpublished archive shot from July 2018. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography - stay safe my Flickr friends.
Cimarron Valley Railroad's (CVR) train to Dodge City steps out at Satanta, KS in the charge of ex-CSX C40-8s #4052 and #4053. CVR 4052 was repainted into this excellent facsimile of Santa Fe's yellow pinstripe scheme by the railroad itself. CVR 4053 was repainted by MEI at its facilities in East St. Louis, IL.
The train will make a blistering 15mph or so after a somewhat late morning departure, for a leisurely chase with no hope of nose lighting. It also means I only get about 6 miles and two towns' worth of shots before the family is basically done with this little adventure. Still, it was worth the negotiating to get this at all; our last trip down here in July netted these units at rest. Looks like a stab at a Tuesday westbound from Dodge City is in the cards for a future family trip.
By the way, only GP30 #20 was still at Satanta. The rest appear to have vanished completely, replaced by the former CSX GEs. Allegedly, the GP26s are still on the property somewhere.

Pinstripe Longhorn Beetle (Syllitus rectus)
A lifer for me this week. Seen on a leaf of our Quince tree.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Climbing up and away from its crossing of the Cimarron River south of Waynoka, a Santa Fe westbound freight approaches "Belva" siding at 1252 headed by U36c, SD40, SD45 (8703-5016-5560,) The contrast of the fairly new "Warbonnet" addition to the freight power, on the lead unit, can be seen with the more subdued pinstripes on the second and third units.
"PRR" 8102 leads 20K under the signal bridge at Easton. In the six months since this picture was taken, the ETTS principle has reared its head here as the old Lehigh Valley signal bridge has been taken down. After living here for almost 15 years, I never thought to get a photo here until this Thanksgiving afternoon. Better late than never!

Our second Pittosporum tree is flowering out of season and while I was looking at the flowers I spied this Longhorn Beetle feeding on the nectar.

Colour re-edit of a previously published image captured in October 2016. Enjoy!
So pleased with this early crop from seeds sown in spring, the 2 plants grown in pots outdoors. The plants lost a lot of leaves to the strong wind and rain but are still flowering - and setting fruit.
A pretty little Aubergine cultivar, even when ripe the fruit will only be 2" across but it looks perfectly formed... zoom in to admire stellate hairs on the green calyx...
An unusual combination of clouds and mountains with the rising sun resulted in this interesting event. The ridge is Wheeler ridge near Bishop, hence the title name. Hoping it gives you a few nanoseconds of pleasure.
Northbound 3858 from Trenton passes through Elizabeth with the 4636 in PRR livery providing power. We saw this engine quite a few times during the two days we spent along the Corridor.
This was last night's project. I've been wanting to try this for months. I just never feel like hanging out in the desert for a couple of hours babysitting my camera. It's funny how every little noise you hear seems so much louder and so much creepier when you're alone way out in the desert in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.
The other problem I have had. I don't understand this, but the skies have been hazy and crappy for several months. The last really good, starry sky I have seen was in Moab, in September. I don't know where all the stars have gone. I can understand that here in the valley, it is smoggy and there is a lot of light pollution. But. Even in October and November, I was in places like Page, and the Grand Canyon, and there were practically no stars out. Arizona usually has some of the best skies in the world, but every night I look up and say, 'where are all the stars?' I hate how washed out the sky looks on the left half of this, but it's the best I could do with a shitty sky.
So... Anyway... This is about 20, 5 minute exposures merged in Photoshop. It's a total of about a two hour exposure. The moon was perfect last night for shooting this. Just a tiny sliver of a moon. Just enough to throw a little bit of light on my foreground and the mountains. I shot it right before the moon set, so most of the exposures were shot in total darkness with no moon. I also lightpainted one of the exposures a tiny bit just to give a little bit more sparkle to the cactus in the foreground.
