Lyrics from "Cumberland Gap" by David Rawlings:
"Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
That's what the scouts all tell ya
Sure enough it may get tough
If it doesn't kill ya, kill ya
Kentucky she's a waiting on the other side
Give you the fever, put the daylight in your eyes"

Disease was a major cause of death for early settlers - but there is an interesting "back story" -
Yellow fever is characterised by severe fever, nausea, pain, and liver damage, the last of which produces the yellow hue from which the disease takes its name.
Luke Pryor Blackburn was born into a politically well-connected family, but after spending an undistinguished term in the Kentucky General Assembly in 1843, he left politics for a career in medicine. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Blackburn sided with the Confederacy. But at age 44 the doctor was too old to enlist in the army. Instead, his political connections and professional expertise were put to use as an envoy and a doctor to the Confederacy.
In Toronto, Blackburn met Colonel Jacob Thompson, a Confederate spy and former member of President James Buchanan’s cabinet, and Godfrey Joseph Hyams, an impoverished English shoemaker displaced by Northern troops from his Arkansas home. In 1864 the South was in retreat, and the Confederates were desperate for a way to turn the tide. Blackburn, who knew first-hand how yellow fever could ravage a population, hatched a plan: infect Northern cities and Northern-occupied cities in the South by unleashing the fever on Union troops using the vomit- and blood-soaked clothes of ill and dying yellow-fever sufferers.
As it turned out his attempts were to fail (yellow fever is a viral infection spread mainly my mosquitoes and not by contact with victims or their clothing) - Blackburn was arrested by Canadian police in May 1865 for plotting an act of war against the United States while living in Canada (violating the nations’ neutrality agreement) but was acquitted when the court found only circumstantial evidence.
Eventually Blackburn’s prestige from fighting yellow fever eclipsed his infamy. He ran for governor of Kentucky in 1879, leaving the campaign for a time to battle against another outbreak of yellow fever. Despite a resurgence of bad press, Blackburn won the election. Once in office he worked to improve conditions in Kentucky’s prisons.
Regen is vloeibare zonneschijn, daar kun je ook gewoon mee fotograferen. En bijkomend voordeel is dat je ook geen last hebt van tegenlicht of fotowolken. Kijk maar.......
Ik werd vandaag wakker met op mijn telefoon enkele appjes van twee fotografen van de Veluwelijn. Beide wisten ze me te melden dat er een graantrein aan zat te komen. Omdat ik een gat in de dag had geslapen (13:00 uur) vreesde ik dat ik hem al had gemist, maar ik had mazzel. De doorkomst van deze trein stond gepland om 13:37 uur, en dat matchte precies met de vertrektijd naar mijn werk. En dus stond ik op tijd klaar met mijn camera.
De meeste graantreinen hebben van die mooie oranje Wascosa wagens, maar vandaag doemde er een zo mogelijk nóg mooiere trein op. Wellicht is bekend dat ik van homogene treinen hou, zoals de Dolime en de RailPro steenslagtreinen. Mooie strakke slepen van allemaal dezelfde wagens. Nou, deze graantrein was ook een pareltje uit deze categorie. Want alle wagens waren volledig zwart, en omdat ze als nieuw leken hadden ze ook nog eens geen enkele graffiti. De strakke lichte LTE Traxx misstond ook niet voor deze trein, en dat leverde dus een fijne foto op.
Iets te enthousiast uitte ik mijn blijdschap over de wagens, terwijl één van de lokale spottertjes nog stond te filmen. En dus riep ik ondoordacht terwijl zijn camera nog liep. Excuses daarvoor! Kun je zien dat ik filmende hobbyisten echt nog niet gewend ben na 40+ jaar alleen maar met fotografen te hebben gewerkt.
Voor de nummertjesfetisjisten kan ik melden dat het treinnummer 41322 was, met Traxx LTE 286 940. De rit ging Coeta - Zl - Pt - Amf - Ut - Ah - Em.
I ran across all of these recent photos in a forgotten folder on my laptop. They are kind of a mish mash of odds and ends, and I was puzzled at first why I had originally collected them. Well, it eventually dawned on me that I couldn't remember because it wasn't me who had collected them in the first place. Yep, it seems dear Daisy had put together a collection of her own favorites.....so consider these a window into her soul. 😘
Put a Tom Petty CD on & follow the Santa Fe along Route 66. Paradise.
A credit to the Sante Fe that this 1966 built SD45 gas-guzzler is still on the point 28 years later at Bannock, Ca.
I usually put in a fair amount of planning for sunrise and early morning shots. This was definitely not one of those.
I was half way through a 3 day photo trip. I was covering ~500 mile loop, from Western Maryland into West Virginia, through Shenandoah country, Virginia, and ending up back in Maryland. I left long before sunrise in an attempt to get shots of dawn while driving through the mountains.
After the sun was fully up I was done and ready to put in some miles on the road. I was already thinking of arriving at my next destination. I packed up the gear in the back seat and started heading down the highway but I didn't drive long before this scene appeared...on the opposite side of the highway of course.
So what to do? Just pull over on the shoulder, grab the gear, scamper across the highway, median, oncoming lanes, and hop the guardrail. The fog was burning off quickly so I just started shooting. Right place, right time.
After she closed the door she put her hair back into a ponytail. I looked around her. There was a man sitting at a small table reading a newspaper and a woman doing something at the kitchen counter. The man looked up from the paper and saw us. He got a strange expression on his face.
"How did you get in to our apartment?" He said standing up.
Hearing this the woman turned around holding two mugs. Seeing us, she gasped and dropped one the glass mugs she was carrying. The glass shattered across the floor. The woman ( who I had met on the roof) made a beeline for the small balcony in the apartment, and I followed close behind.
"Excuse us." She said hardly looking at the startled couple.
The pain in my shoulder was getting worse as was every other pain. We went out on the balcony, I looked over side. There was a ladder leading down to the ground. Not wanting to jump from another building, I said.
"Over here." I motioned her over.
"You first." She said waving her hand to the ladder.
I started down the ladder, the woman looked anxiously back in forth waiting for me. But halfway down the ladder my fingers slipped off the rungs and I fell, for the second time that day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, after my little break, I'm back in! :D This was one of the biggest builds in the series, even though you probably can't tell. Okay, I also want to say thank you to everyone who reads these, it means a lot! The next part might be up late tonight, or hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
The best encounter of the week...this caterpillar species was a 'lifer' for me two years ago at Meaher State Park, and at that time, it was two much younger instars on a small Nightshade...yesterday, it was three stunning nearly mature specimens! I'd been checking a very large, very healthy Nightshade wildflower on a side trail for weeks, hoping some would appear on it...and wow, there they were!
Have a great, safe, fun weekend, everyone!
i first started the roll with the tlr but the lens kept popping out and i gave up and put it in the ft
BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) Ringed Bird. Not sure what the other inscription says.
From the BTO Website.
Bird ringing generates information on the survival, productivity and movements of birds, helping us to understand why populations are changing.
Ringing data make a major contribution to the study of population changes and to our understanding of species declines. Bird populations are determined by the number of fledglings raised and the survival of both juveniles and adults. Whilst ringers collect data on survival, volunteers for the Nest Record Scheme collect information on productivity. The results can be analysed in combination with population trend data, such as that collected through the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey, to determine at which stage of a bird’s life cycle there might be a problem. This enables scientists and conservationists to target appropriate mitigation measures.
It usually takes a year or more, ringing regularly with qualified ringers, to obtain a ringing permit.
Basic bird identification skills and reasonable dexterity are required.

The Pulse Beat of Life
A poem by Darrell
The sound of music
drifts into the street,
the beat beat beat,
crowds of faces
come and go,
drifting along with
the night’s flow,
some feel high,
some feel low,
some are here to
put on a show,
others are just
trying to let go,
some are looking for
someone to know,
someone to hold,
to feel less cold,
but they all just tryin
to walk life’s long road.

Put out an extra Goodie Bowls for the Critters today since the temperatures are taking a nose dive over the next few days, making it feel more like Winter than the middle of Fall.
It was like Grand Central Station with all the activity. This resourceful squirrel jumped on the pumpkin left over from our Harvest Fest to get the layout of all the Goodie Bowls.
Not put a Butterfly up for a while so here's one I took earlier...The Red Admiral, one of the most common Butterfly's as I remember from my younger years, plentiful in the garden and meadows where we lived, this one taken in late July of 2016 whilst feeding on some Buddleia.

The last few weeks my Bruce has not been walking very well, after seeing our vet, who put him on Metacam, he is doing really well and now he manages a small walk each day :))
For those of you who don't know about Bruce, Bruce is 13 years old, we got him from the rottweiler rescue trust, he was nearly 3 yrs old, he had been nearly starved to death and cruelly treated, he had to have several operations before he could eat normally. he was afraid of everything and when he got scared he would just try and run to safety.
Yes of course he had loads of behavioural issues and I suppose the worst was he is not sociable with other male dogs, but he has alway been a big teddy bear with people and loves children. (okay before someone comments on that, no he can't eat a whole one :)))
Thank you everyone for all your kind messages and get well wishes for Bruce,
Take care, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend !!!
Op zondag 19 november is de formele afscheidsrit van de 1700 lok in NS dienst. Voor de gelegenheid zijn twee lokken bestickerd met de tekst "Na 30 jaar trouwe dienst zwaai ik af". Ook de rijtuigen hebben een speciale sticker "19.11.2023 Abschiedsfahrt / Afsheidrit NS 1700" (ja, met een klein schrijffoutje aan één kant).
Vandaag werd de hele stam overgebracht naar Amersfoort, van waar de afscheidsrit zijn ronde gaat maken door Nederland. Nu met lok 1750 voorop en lok 1761 achterop, maar morgen precies andersom wederom door Putten.
Ondanks de stromende regen hadden zich zeker een stuk of 25 spotters in Putten verzameld om dit tafereeltje vast te leggen. Ik weet niet of dat was omdat de trein er even aan de kant moest, of dat spotters Putten gewoon een mooi motief voor een foto vinden. Als je er ook was, zet dan je motivatie even voor me in de commentaren, als je wilt.
Uiteraard trotseerde ik ook de regen, want deze laatste kans om "mijn eigen lokken" te fotograferen pak ik natuurlijk met beide handen aan. History in the making......
Al enkele dagen rijden er vele instructieritten van Keolis door Putten. De Flirt wordt hun nieuwe trein, en daar moeten ze op oefenen en uren maken. Mooi ook dat de reden van de rit staat vermeld in hun lichtkrank.
Put some cake crumbs out for the sparrows. Along came ratty, looked, sniffed and wandered on by. Was he trying to tell me something?
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called nin one body. And obe thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And swhatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Col 3:12–17.
Gonna need to put in some new batteries to replace the old ones to light up those pretty eyes after being kept in the drawer for far too long.
Thank you to all my Flickr friends, old and new, for the warm welcome! I'll catch up with you guys soon!
August is so busy. I'm doing the produce thing. Tomatoes and sweet corn are being processed this week!
I still take an early morning walk to clear the noggin' before digging into the garden/produce work.
It will taste awesome come this winter!
