This was so beautiful to see! I applied a texture from Sebastian Michael's Photoshop Artistry textures he offers to include edits using Photoshop Elements and Enlight App.

Early this month I had the pleasure of participating in a photography workshop in the coastal California redwoods led by Sapna Reddy [https://www.flickr.com/photos/sapna_reddy/]. The redwoods were amazing and Sapna is a great tour leader. She is immensely talented, fun to be around, and a very good teacher.

The local Botanical Gardens is having a contest . The first pix I have taken in awhile 🌺

Could be an Azalea, not sure :-)

The Rhododendrons are in full bloom right now. I am enjoying the color while it lasts, because soon we will be into the long hot days of summer, and then the color will be gone for another season!

Enjoy your Friday and weekend everyone. I am heading to the coast tomorrow to enjoy the cool ocean air! :-)

My rhododendrons were lovely this year. Their blossoms lasted about a month.

Happy Saturated Saturday!

Providence and Worcester Valley Falls based local PR-3 cut their 83 car until ethanol train down in Cranston Yard has shoved back with about two thirds of the train they brought down from Worcester and after setting over a couple cuts in the yard they are now in the process of spotting up 10 each on the two racks at the Shell (ex Motiva) tank farm at the Port of Providence. The local's two regular GP38-2s 2007 and 2008 (built new by EMD in Nov. and Dec. 1980 respectively for the then only seven year newly re-independent road) along with B39-8 3909 (ex LMX 8535 blt. Dec. 1987) are on the south end of the train in this view looking down from the Eddy Street overpass with the cool blue waters of upper Narragansett Bay visible beyond.

They are on the two mile long Harbor Junction Running Track, which along with it's connection, the South Harbor Track, is actually owned by the City of Providence and served exclusively by the P&W.

Big and Bright Rhododendron ready to Bloom.

Happy Fence Friday! My neighbor's Rhodie growing through my fence. They provide a beutiful break in an otherwise old and weathered fence.

Rhododendrons and azaleas, both from the genus Rhododendron, have long been mainstays of late spring because of their spectacular clusters of showy blooms—plus, large green leaves that often stay green through winter. The flowers are tubular-, funnel-, or bell-shaped—and often fragrant.
