Flower Plate 5 is a macro photograph of the back of an anemone flower on a light box. It is a part of a tribute to the artists who created 1000 flower plates.
This was challenging for me to edit. I regret my fabric and surface choices but did the best I could with what I used. My daughter helped me create these cute paper plates for the snail to spin, you can't tell but she drew snails on a few of them.
If you aren't familiar with the art of plate spinning, please enjoy this youTube Video - youtu.be/Zhoos1oY404.
Decatur and Eastern Illinois (DREI) (former-NS/ex-SOU 5020) GP38-2 #3896 leads a four-unit consist and 112-car loaded grain train south out of Oakland, Illinois. The deactivated approach signal once warned north-bound Nickel Plate crews of a crossing with the Pennsy, now long gone.
A Watco subsidiary, the DREI initiated operations in September 2018 with the purchase of the CSX (ex-B&O) Decatur Subdivision and Danville Secondary Subdivision, connecting Decatur, Illinois and Terre Haute, Indiana. In December 2019, the railroad expanded by acquiring the Eastern Illinois Railroad (EIRC), consisting of approximately 56-miles of the former Nickel Plate Cloverleaf line between Neoga and Metcalf. The two lines are connected at Metcalf, forming a “V” pointed to the north east.
The train will head south for Charleston, pick up a fifth unit, and press on for Neoga, where the railroad interchanges with Canadian National. Although the hogger hasn't turned on the headlight yet, 3896 sports a wonky set of ditch lights that flash in unison, permitting me to time this shot to their "on" cycle.

When I was in Oxford back in the late sixties, I lived in Digs and from time to time when my landlady was not around she would leave a "cold dinner plate" in the larder for me. Always good! Confession -- this is not real ice but rather "prop ice" made of acrylic for use in photos and movie sets. For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Presented on a Plate."

Saturday Self Challenge; White on White
Not the easiest challenge, and after various attempts, finally on settled on these two white dinner plates. For better or worse, they were in dappled light, hence the shadow in the background.

Mile Marker Zero ~ Illinois Prairie Path Trail Head ~ Wheaton, Illinois
Mile Marker Zero is the junction of the three branches of the Illinois Prairie Path, a place where runners, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers begin and conclude their journeys. It's also a crossroads rich in heritage. The Prairie Path follows the right of way of the former Chicago, Aurora and Elgin Railroad, known as the "Roarin' Elgin" or "Great Third Rail," which operated from 1902-1957.

I've had this little collection going for a few months. The plates hadn't seen the light of day, but now, they're having a wall to themselves, (I hope, Taff?!).
Our Daily Challenge 10-16 April : What's for Dinner?, and 121 Pictures in 2021 :Your Favourite Cuisine.
I have to say I don't do anything so pretentious as 'Cuisine', but I have missed going out for lunch once a week since Covid put a stop to that!
Most of my meals look a lot like this.
I'm not keen on brown food, and especially the sort where everything is mixed up on the plate and looks like lurcher sick !
Before you ask the green blob is mint jelly and those spuds are my favourite 'La Ratte'
