I have no idea when the last passenger train of any sort may have crossed the Maumee on the former DT&I but this last weekend's "Ohio Rail Experience" trip provided some rare miles to riders. With the CRR 800 on one end and a NKP Geep on the other I couldn't resist shooting it and top of the list was the Maumee River bridge which is undoubtedly the scenic highlight of their trip from Leipsic to Diann and back. 10/12/19
I really liked the different colors and the shadow/highlights in these Lilly pads, and the single flower seemed to be a perfect subject. I like the simplicity! Shot at Lake Meridian, in Washington State.

This set of seven shots demonstrates Charlie's eating ritual. All have a lot of editing, and a few are really terrible, but the group is a pretty good representation of what we sit through every time he eats. Back and forth between the 2 bowls, pausing in between. It goes on for minutes after the other cats have finished. The person whose turn it is to feed the cats has to guard Charlie until he finishes, and only then can she open the doors for the other cats who have finished.
I really do not know for sure which one of these captures, that I present today to you, I love most !!! Because, all of them, represent one of my mostly loved spots in my beloved Château-land -- Château De La Hulpe. These captures are taken on a bright , sunny, November day. I was standing just a few meters away in each , while being always at the same spot….It is a magical , inspiring, and uplifting place, especially between mid October and mid November….
This is a part of my personal “Château secret path” of about 30’-45’ in my beloved Château Forest(s). Every time I arrive here, I stop, breathe deeply, look around in deep admiration and awe, listen to the sounds, and say….”thank You!!”(…and then, I start photo-shooting…). Right here, the path close to the first water-side stops, so I have to turn around the water-side, in order to follow the other side of my path, again close to the waters…Just like walking alongside a large, river-like pond, surrounded by a magical, colourful woodland…..
(*** It is really worthed, to experience these captures in LARGE, in case you have some time available…)
Not really had the time to search out red poppies this year and normally they are well over by now around me but came across these outside Winchester. grass in the field is longer so it's a more 'unkempt' poppy field than normal but to be honest I liked it like that especially with the sky looking so ominous.

What was meant to be an exciting night on the town with friends quickly turned into an impromptu case when Jorgia and Patrick witnessed a wizard perform magic in the vicinity of muggles. While the other Interning Aurors in the group began working to obliviate the affected muggles, Jorgia and Patrick began a chase to find the wizard in question. Their search had lead them to some old subway tunnels. With both of their wands lit, Jorgia took a slight lead as they walked. She felt her boyfriends hand reach to rest on the small of her back and looked towards him with a smirk. “Who’d have thought our evening would end chasing some guy into a subway tunnel?” She mused, her smirk growing in a full grin. Patrick shrugged and looked around them, taking in the old wooden beams and exposed modern wires. His face twisted into a smirk of its own before he turned back to his girlfriend and hummed. “If m’honest, love… think we should end evenin’s in dark tunnels more often… Lots of things to tie ya to…” Jorgia paused her stride for a second and turned her face over her shoulder to get a good look at him. “... you would be thinking about that…” A small sigh was drowned out by the small bit of laughter Patrick offered to her comment before he silenced himself enough for her to respond once more. “Guess we should find this guy quickly then… hm?” As her pace picked up, Patrick’s did as well, moving slightly in front of her now. They were both moving faster, practically jogging now before Patrick turned back to Jorgia and raised a brow, a smug look on his face. “Last one to spot em makes breakfast-” “Deal-”

These (originally) olive green mail boxes belonging to the US Postal Service can be found in various, apparently random, locations. They are temporary storage boxes for letter carriers. They can be stocked with "relays," sacks or trays of mail for a delivery route, allowing the carrier to restock en route without either carrying a huge load or returning to a post office for more of the day's mail to deliver.
I remember being puzzled as a kid by the grammar of the statement found on some of them, "Not for deposit of mail." What kind of mail is "Deposit Of?"
This one does not look like it's in recent use.
Intentional failure to see the big picture
really nice theatre somewhere in north italy. it was really hot inside due to the glass ceiling and 33°c temperature that day :)
Taken during really heavy snow fall and strong winds, out on the Sma Glen. I headed for this stand of pines to sort my gear and have some of my well earned coffee. This was the view as I sat with my back against a large pine which was sheltering me. I thought it was worth a go to see if I could capture the scene. It's a lot busier than I would normally shoot but I was totally captivated by this view.
I then headed for the distant tree and boy was that a walk as the snow was more than knee deep all the way. Hope you enjoy the view as much as I did. Ricky
really like this shot of me
thanks SPEX!!
kinda sums up my surfing life in Winter,
a quick evening surf after work as the sun goes down
I don't think I would have seen the moth if it hadn't flown onto the stick right in front of me.... Best ID guess from my flickr friends is Celery Leaftier - Udea rubigalis. Any further ID confirmation or correction would be appreciated.

Happy Fence Friday!
Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? Maybe, maybe not! One thing I do know for certain, spring is finally exploding here!
(it really happened!!)
Fiero e soddisfatto passeggiavi, l’ordinaria meta era ormai vicina. musica nuova nelle orecchie, testa alta e sorriso stampato.
Vedi lei.
La distingui, ha uno sguardo vivo, consapevole, sereno; ti ferma.
“What’s your name?”
rispondi confuso, togliendoti le cuffie: Lei ti affascina, vuoi scoprire cosa vuole.
“Which music are u listening?” - “BeatleSs” – “Sing for me” – “Oh no, I’m not really good” –
Ti guarda e sorride, mai avevi incontrato uno sguardo così vivo; rimani lì imbambolato a non capire.
“Come at home with me” – “Oh no tank, I have to go”
“Non hai mai vissuto per la strada vero? Si vede”
te ne stavi andando ma ti giri e la guardi, e lei risponde con uno sguardo
e poi
“Provaci e capirai!”
Ti volti e rivolti un paio di volte, sei basito, non comprendi, non sai che fare; finirai per andare via.
Non sai cosa sia successo, non capisci come una persona possa aver avuto un simile comportamento nei tuoi riguardi; una persona diversa, fuori dal mondo e magari anche fuori di testa ma che qualcosa ti ha trasmesso, e qualcosa di forte che anche se non sai proprio cos’è ti rimane dentro.
E ti chiedi cosa sia e se esista la pazzia, se la pazza è lei o sono loro, se dovresti ascoltarla e tornare indietro oppure continuare per la tua sconosciuta ma prevedibile strada.
Really a morning to rejoice, quietly watching the birds and in the middle of the polder, what more do people want ?
Am trying to comment, but the flickr gods aren't cooperating.
I've missed you all
I've had a chance to reflect. I have to spend time researching for and pulling together stories, all of which I want to feature on flickr. There are also a number of other projects I've been putting off for the eighteen months that I've been on flickr. I need to get some balance going here. All this means that, for the foreseeable future, I will be up on flickr every two or three days rather than every day as I have been to date. Many of my flickr buddies have curbed their flickr activities, and some have even dropped off flickr for reasons similar to mine.
Flickr is an addictive business. It has a tendency to take over, and Explore really drives the addiction. Explore is like heroin in that it stokes us for a period of time by including everything we post, only to drop us us for periods of time during which we try everything to regain the old Explore high.
Not trying to be resentful or maudlin here. Just trying to put flickr into perspective. I'll still get around to see you all on a regular basis, and I promise to pull some good stories together. Thanks for being great buddies. You've all become an important part of my life. You teach me so much, and I'll still be part of this great community.
Feel free to email me directly at any time. I'm around a lot.
I really really like this photo. On of my favorites of my own in a while...
Best viewed On Black.... in my opinion anyway ;-)
It's kinda like the pacman of apples. Chompin' on some sun flare!
EXPLORED ;-) Weee! Thanks everyone for the favs and comments!
I really like photographing fireworks, perhaps because I get to do it so infrequently. The last time was two and a half years ago at our town's Canada Day celebration.
However, this year, out there in the township, they had a New Years Eve display. This was the biggest burst that I caught, and perhaps the biggest that I saw.
I love how they also lit up the buildings, including the old schoolhouse on the right.

I really loved the view from the top of One New Change. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had to photograph some of the worlds most amazing cities!

It was really too windy to get any good bubbles out there today. This is as good as it gets.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of Flickr. Have a super day!

EXPLORED!!
Okay, I'm possessed of a horribly sick sense of humor, but when I discovered this sign, I could not help but conjure up a little scenario that goes something like this: "Higgins, we've got this very important assignment we wish to provide you with, and it's going to require some very creative thinking......"
Forgive me dear viewers.
