Ransoms, Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic, ramsons, wild cowleek, cowlic, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bear's garlic, is a bulbous perennial flowering plant in the amaryllis family Amaryllidaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia, where it grows in moist woodland. Wikipedia

A glimpse of aged familiarity, a sight once routine now reserved for all but the most infrequent of passages, a cigar-banded bluebonnet of the special duty variety guides two contemporaries (in livery only) and 62 cars of miscellaneous freight from Chicagoland towards classification at BNSF's terminal at Galesburg via local L CHI1051 09A, conjuring memories lost 27 years prior of when the great Santa Fe ruled the Transcon and the prairie towns like Ransom which dot its bucolic Illinois landscape.

The hot Santa Fe 199 train wastes no time at Ransom, Illinois. August 05, 1992.

Silverdale, Lancashire

 

On the way home after a short break in Cumbria and Northumberland we made a detour to Silverdale to view the wild garlic. It was certainly worth the visit. One could smell the aroma before getting out of the car.

 

Now home with lots of images to process but the priority is to get the grass cut before the weather changes!!

Not really. This guy was rolling by at track speed if I recall correctly. Backlighting and haze in the brief Kodachrome (paint) era.

No, not whiskey. Remove those thoughts. Early into the BNSF merger. Westbound at Ransom, Illinois on the Chillicothe Sub.

 

These guys look out of place here, to me. However, I take what I get.

I spent the better part of the day of 22 August 1990 on the Santa Fe mainline at Ransom IL, with dreams of Super Fleet trains rolling west around the broad curve in sunlight. The only train I saw however was this lone eastbound in the late afternoon, led by a GP60 as the weather turned toward late day storms. Now all these years later, it feels like time well spent.

Fast and loud is the name of the game here in Ransom, Not much to this town besides this shot! and the famous Water tower.

This is the highlight feature of the Ransom-Gillis house in Brush Park, Detroit. The home sat in disrepair for decades until being renovated last year.

explored!

No I don't want to battle from beginning to end;

I don't want to cycle or recycle revenge;

And I don't want to follow Death and all of his friends.

l love the dappled light of the woodland scene but not always easy to capture, here most of the ransomes have some light on them which contrasts the shade and for my daily picture

This little male Indigo Bunting managed to get himself tangled in a berry netting in the garden. By the time we found him he had gotten himself fairly well entangled.

A few well-placed snips with the scissors while he held firmly on to my glove with his beak was all that it took. He happily flew to the nearest apple tree to rest a while before going home to tell Mrs. Bunting about his adventure.

The only ransom I demanded was the chance to get this really closeup shot.

By the way the empty shotgun shell must have come with the dirt we brought from the woods to fill the raised bed. But the shell does give some perspective to show just how tiny these brilliant blue birds are.

This is a ransom note for this weeks macro theme 'crime'. After a few ideas we got some inspiration from horrible bosses 2 that we watched at the weekend. HMM

In Skipton Castle Wood. I nearly left it too late! Somewhere in this wood, a path goes through the wild garlic, 'cos I've seen a picture of it on Flickr....but search as I could, I didn't find it!

For Macro Mondays "Crime".

My husband was nice enough to make me a ransom note, although he went a little overboard. I will save the entire thing in my "props" drawer for another day. But here is part of it through a small magnifying glass, fitting within the 3 inch limit.

 

The magnifying glass is about two inches above the paper, prompting my first stab at photo stacking so both glass and words would be in focus. I had hoped to play more with angles to show the distance between them, but alas, no time.

HMM!
