Figuratively and literally. I have three months of mediocrity in my folders, poor planning and bad luck mostly so nothin' new. I'm leaving for AZ and Texas on Friday and my work is trying to pack two weeks work into one so I'm sleeping in, getting home late which means no Flickr. Probably will be backed up when I return too so I'll be back asap.
One more from Sun Lakes. It's nice when you are already someplace beautiful when you get a great sunset. :-)
This weeks SNS is once again the lens work of Greg Stadter. BN 844 leads an A-B-B-A set of Wagons at Willbridge in August 1975. Chuck Schwesinger collection.
The wildflowers were in full bloom during our recent camping trip to the Hells Canyon region of Idaho, on the Oregon border.
I wish you could smell the sweet scent of lupine that filled the air.
Saw three of these Goldfinch cuties feeding at low tide. The Capehart restoration project is working - count is now up to 27 species that have returned since 2011.
This capture was taken from Titlow Park Tacoma Washington State with the Narrows Bridge's in the background.

Former Q SD24s power a train on BN rails through a rock cut somewhere in the PNW.... or rather a cut on the Maryland Midland, near Thurmont MD on April 2nd 1984! The brutish SDs infamously had short careers on the former Western Maryland start-up, but look quite at home here. Kenneth Lehman photo, JL Sessa collection.
You know it's going to be a good day when you see this light coming through the trees in the morning.
The U.S. Coast Guard was running exercises on Chambers Bay while fisher folks tried for ling cod on the reef and golfers golfed on the greens.
The gray boat speeding through the fishing boats (far left) towards the protected ferry was the "bad guy". As he approached the group the orange boat closest to him swerved to face him, they ran directly at each other and shots were fired. A very exciting sideshow for my hike!

Parent visiting the nest.
The Red-breasted Sapsucker cuts a dramatic profile with its brilliant scarlet head and dapper checkerboard pattern on the back. Sapsuckers are named for their habit of drilling rows of shallow wells in shrubs and trees, and then lapping up the sap with their brush-tipped tongues. Sapsuckers are important members of their ecosystems, because many species of insects, birds, and mammals use the sapwells to supplement their own diets. (From Cornell Labs All About Birds)

Do you know the feeling when you look at older photos and you feel they're better than what you take these days...?
This was a shot that I took last winter and at the time I didn't even look at it. Not really anything unique but when I revisited it, I felt the colors, the light and even the composition satisfied me more than anything I took lately.
