Possibly the rattiest of the remaining Death Star SD70s, IC #1032, leads a CN painted sister and a GTW GP38-2 west on E251 at Bancroft.
Quite possibly one of the most underrated (and also quite fascinating) pieces of railroading in Central West Virginia is the former B&O Cowen Subdivision. Running between Cowen, WV and Grafton, WV.
It's ran by the Appalachian & Ohio Railroad today, with a quintet of GATX/GMTX GP38-2's and run through CSX power.
Sadly in this 2012 photo the ridiculously cool SD90MAC's were living out their final few years in service on the railroad. It was found to be cheaper to double and sometimes triple the grade at Frenchton than rather use the 90MAC's to shove the trains over the grade. I never got to see this railroad in action except for a late night visit in 2014 on my way to Spencer, NC - when we saw this same pair of 90's shuffling cars around the wye area. No pictures, sadly.
The engines are tied down in the Burnsville helper pocket, waiting for the next train to shove over the grades.
In 2016, traffic is varied by the demands of how much coal is needed where. If you're ever able to shoot this piece of railroad - DO IT.
The track in the foreground goes to the Elk River Railroad interchange at Gilmer Station, where even more sporadic movements occur. The track curving off to the right is the Cowen Sub main taking you on towards Cowen.
Mr. Scott Lothes has some absolutely incredible stuff on this fascinating piece of mountain railroading in his photosteam. I highly recommend that anyone reading this takes the time to check out. You will not be disappointed.
Possibly a Green Parrot Snake (Leptophis ahaetulla), at the Guatuzos Nature Reserve, Nicaragia

BNSF 5709 is underway after getting some assistance from the truck on the left as they both head south in Greenland, CO.
Wrong leader with that MACe second out, but it's not every day on the Joint Line one sees a AC4400CW leading a manifest.
I knew there was at least one more (unknown) train following this one, possibly two. As is often the case, I find myself wondering, "Is this the one I should chase, or should I go for what's behind door number two?"
I opted for door number two and a GEVO-led coal train was my prize. I let that one go and door number three was the true prize...one you'll see quite a bit of later on in my Photostream.
This little cutie showed up on our patio this afternoon, after I threw out some tortilla chip crumbs that I thought the sparrow would eat. Instead, this hungry and not in such good shape, chipmunk began gathering up the crumbs and making trip after trip to somewhere around the corner of our house, until every last crumb was gone.
(*Possibly Weedstalk'r) at the Storm Detention Pond, near the west entrance to Thomson Marsh, Kelowna, BC.
Possibly one of the best photography days of my life, so far. I took many, many shots of a couple of female Crossbills leading up to this set. At this point I was directly under her as she enjoyed the pine cones and kept a watchful eye on me. These are exported directly from Lightroom with little or no edits at all, in fact, I had to back off the lens to keep her in shot. A wonderful experience that she allowed me to share

The Rolls-Royce 10 hp was the first car to be produced as a result of an agreement of 23 December 1904 between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, and badged as a Rolls-Royce. The 10 hp was produced by Royce's company, Royce Ltd., at its factory in Cooke Street, Hulme, Manchester, and was sold exclusively by Rolls' motor dealership, C.S.Rolls & Co., at a price of £395. The 10 hp was exhibited at the Paris Salon in December 1904, along with 15 hp and 20 hp cars and engine for the 30 hp models. The 10 hp was a development of Henry Royce's first car, the Royce 10, of which he produced three prototypes in 1903. This was itself based on a second-hand Decauville owned by Royce which he correctly believed he could improve. In particular, Royce succeeded in making his car significantly quieter than existing cars. Unlike the Royce 10 which had a flat-topped radiator, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp featured one with a triangular top which would appear on all subsequent cars. The engine is a water-cooled twin-cylinder of 1800 cc enlarged to 1995 cc on later cars, with overhead inlet and side exhaust valves, and based on the original Royce engine but with an improved crankshaft. The power output was 12 hp (9 kW) at 1000 rpm. The car has a top speed of 39 mph (63 km/h). There is a transmission brake fitted behind the gearbox operated by foot pedal and internal expanding drum brakes on the back axle operated by the handbrake lever. Springing is by semi-elliptic leaf springs on both front and rear axles. It is a small car with a wheelbase of 75 in (1,905 mm) and a track of 48 in (1,219 mm). Rolls-Royce intended to make 20 of the cars but only 16 were made as it was thought that a twin-cylinder engine was not appropriate for the marque. The last 10 hp was made in 1906.Rolls-Royce did not provide the coachwork. Instead, the cars were sold in chassis form for the customer to arrange his own body supplier, with Barker recommended. Four are believed to survive: the oldest, a 1904 car registered U44, chassis 20154, was sold for £3.2 million (approx £3.6 million after commission and taxes) to a private collector by Bonham's auctioneers in December 2007; AX 148 from 1905, chassis 20162, belongs to the UK Science Museum Collection and is usually on display in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry; and SU 13 chassis 20165 from 1905 belongs to Bentley Motors. A fourth car, chassis 20159 is believed to be in a private collection.

Possibly my favourite image from my recent trip to Skye, Also an image that I have had reservations about. After chatting on various WhatsApp groups I have decided to leave the river in the image to give a bit of balance to the house, but I a still not sure
Pollet, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Ireland
The Great Pollet Arch is a striking example of the sheer power of the Atlantic Ocean as it constantly carves the cliffs along the Irish coast for millions of years, as a result it has created this enormous, unique and famous rock formation “The Great Pollet Arch”
There are only around 3 such arches in Ireland and this is the largest and most impressive of them all. It is very hard to explain how magnificent this national treasure is until you are actually standing right in front of it in true awe & wonder at its natural beauty

(My overall species captured in flight number : 1,700.)
Image captured at Yanacocha Nature Reserve in very high attitude (elevation)....Possibly 13000+ feet above sea level; since Quito is already at about 10000 feet.
I made a mistake of renting a smaller car and not a 4 wheel drive and I almost got stuck in the mud up this very narrow and rocky mountain road 10 km long west of Quito. But to see this beautiful lifer for the 1st time is well worth it. I guess that's why it was named "Mountain" tanager.
Possibly Angle Shades moth. St. Cyrus NNR. A very windy day, but sheltered by the cliffs at the reserve. Ridiculously excited to see this today. Yay, bring on macro season!
Possibly Crambus turbatella? — live, in-situ, undisturbed, and unharmed.

Possibly the most recognizeable feature of the Milky Way for northern hemisphere views during the summer, the constellation Scorpius is shown prominently in the image from May 2020. Shot with my new polarscope, my Canon 70D, and a 50 mm lens, this is actually 3 exposures of 90 s at ISO 800 and f2.8. This was my first attempt to concentrate on a sky-only image with the new mount. Arcturus anchors the constellation, but the Messier object (globular cluster) M4 is also nearly as prominent in the constellation. The dust clouds extending over most of the constellation are also prominent. The other feature that caught my attention in this capture is the three stars (apparently) closely packed in the upper left of the main cluster of Scorpius. The color is partly a result of capturing the image low on the horizon. Taken from Oak Flats in New Mexico.
Peace and Cheers!
Quite possibly the prettiest (and coldest) evening I've had at the Oregon Coast with a camera in my hand to catch it. Look at those spidery clouds! I love it when the sky is mirrored in the sand. It makes me feel like I'm walking through a sunset.

Possibly the cutest Black Bear cub I've ever seen, she followed mom along the beach, never strayed too far, and obeyed orders (eg. scooted up a tree on command). This is a dangerous age for bears and she needs her protective mother until she's big and strong enough to survive on her own.
This shot is almost identical to my friend Melanie's - not surprising, as we were sitting side by side and the little one held her pose for a few seconds while our shutters whirred away in burst mode. There are slight differences in background, angle of view, and the amount of water dripping from those front claws; also different camera bodies and processing, so slightly different colour balance. But essentially we walked away with very similar images. And we're both happy.
More bears to come over the next few days. I'm looking out my window this morning at a little prairie village draped with fresh snow, the sky a grey smudge. Three months ago I was sitting on barnacle-encrusted beach boulders, fanned by cool sea breezes, watching for bears and jumping salmon, entertained by great blue herons and flocks of shorebirds and eagles wheeling through the blue sky above. Being fully alive is about living fully in the present, but it's possible to visit the recent and distant past without losing track of one's life trajectory. The other day I posted a shot of my brother from 1965. Sometimes it feels to me like everything is happening at once and life is more a mosaic than a linear progression. Comforting thought.

Possibly my favourite orb shot, single exposure no post production although I did add a watermark, This is light painting.
possibly from the Paratoxodera family but we're not entirely sure. If anyone knows any different, do tell... :)
Possibly the work of a pine beetle (Dendroctonus), although there are many other kinds of bark beetle. All these photos show the large grove made by an adult female. The smaller grooves were made by her larvae as the bored outward.
Today was quite possibly one of the worst day around the Detroit area in regards to the weather... it rained non-stop through out the day, and we've got floods all over.. I think we got more than a couple inches of rain... found a couple of leaks in the basement wall too.. not so bad, though... but will have to fix it regardless. And so, shooting outside was out of the question...
Anyhow, I had this idea for a while but never thought of executing it... and today, I brought this up to my buddy Alfredo, and he said that I should do it. Now, I would really have liked to take these shots outside, but with no other ideas popping up, I decided to do it. Alfredo even offered up his basement studio for me to set up and shoot.. so, went to his house after work and got the shots I needed.. big, big, big thanks to Alfredo.
Now came the hard part, to somehow blend everything into one image.. Now, I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not an expert... no... I'm no where even close being considered good at Photoshop and the features it has to offer, but took up the challenge anyway.. and this is the most amount of time I've ever put into a making a single image....!!!!! I damn near gave up a couple of times and almost started to process my back-up shot.. but then, I came back to this and worked on it till I was satisfied. It may be might no means considered a good Photoshop job, but for me it is good... 'coz I've never even attempted such a task before.. this is all unchartered territory for me.
Will I take up a task like this again?? Most likely not, 'coz when it comes to processing an image, I don't like to spend more than 10-15 minutes max.. after that, I start getting annoyed and bored.. and so, I can't really believe that I actually finished this one....!!!!!!
Okay, that's it..
I thought that my little secret was safe…After all, who could possibly find out about my little misadventure this early morning….It all started as I forgot to put my clocks forward to British summer time, making me late riser this morning…….…..Having gulped a cup of tea down, and picked up my guitar and raced to the garage……And slid down the side of the car in my tight garage having placed the guitar in a safe out of harms way place first……It was at that time my phone rang with someone asking where I was as I was late……Thus putting me under more pressure to make up time, as I struggled into the car and fired up the engine slammed it into reverse and reversed straight into my safe place…..And despite my revving engine You could plainly hear the strings pinging as they snapped as the guitar was crushed……I quickly gathered up the remains and put them in the boot of the car and rushed off to my meeting, in the secure knowledge that things could have been worse…For considering that all of the CraZyGang were still very much into British winter time and had no intentions of moving into British summer time this cold morning thank goodness, and would not have been awake to see or hear a thing…..Meaning…… I would not have to face any awkward happy questions about the demise of the guitar when I got home……Or so I had thought….For it would seem that Millie has a story to tell!!!!...And tell it she did…...But at least I can console myself in the knowledge that at least Maysie-May and Halo look suitably unhappy to think that they might never hear me play again !!!!!!!!! I mean just look that face of Halo to prove my point...!!!!!!
Possibly a juvenile Linnet? Blending in among the shrubs on the National Trust's Foel y Mwnt, near Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales.
Possibly the nicest McDonald’s restaurant I have ever seen - at least judging by the exterior! The red walls and frescoes of the Rathaus, located across the Marktplatz from these building are reflected in the windows.
Happy Window Wednesday!
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
Feeding on perennial basil.
This is one of a series of shots taken for and during my involvement in the Wild Pollinator Count in November 2016: wildpollinatorcount.com/
Possibly it is the most pathetic picture in my photo album, but every time I see it ... I can not stop laughing ...... Sorry!
Have a fantastic friday, and laugh with me! HFF!
Possibly, maybe. Was taken from the Num-tijah lodge at the bade of Bow Glacier falls trailhead. If someone knows the truth, let me know!
Meet Shadow, possibly the friendliest dog in Lamont. Living just down the block from me, he is everyone's friend and absolutely loves attention.
Although it may be hard to tell here, it was actually getting dark when i took this. I met up with him, and his sidekick Cocoa (who is tiny) along with the rest of his family Gary and Deb, on my way home form the park. I was not sure I could get him to sit still long enough, but he did cooperate and allowed me a couple of shots before I just had to give him some more pets. This was the only shot that was sharp. The nifty-fifty is a great little lens but has no stabilization and the getting long in the tooth 6D body has no stabilization either. Between either my movement or Shadow's, the other images were slightly blurred, so I am very happy that at least one turned out.
Although his face is getting very grey he is only five coming on six years old. He really is a great big loveable beast.
