Go North East: Roadway Stripe Livery
View allAll Photos Tagged roadway
My photographic creativity has not been flowing too much lately. I've been looking through some old photos that did not make it to my Flickr stream, for whatever reason. This one was taken in the Northern Adirondacks last summer. We were traveling Eastward, and I caught the fire in the sky in my rear view mirror, and pulled over to catch the sun as it began to sink behind the mountain.
Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am going to do something new, now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
What would you guess? Probably a decade ago as a bird was sitting up on those wires it dropped a Malus Lollipop Crabapple tree seed into the ditch at the side of the road. In her not so quiet solitude she grew to be the Queen of the road.
Maybe for people who in live in the more quieter parts of the world may not understand but for someone who lives in one of the most congested parts of North America the concept of walking into the middle a quiet road for minutes at a time and not worry about getting run over and taking in the blessed silence is a simple pleasure.
I nearly missed this shot. I was descending a hill and I happened to look back and I was confronted by this image. It drives home the point that you should always look round about, you just never know what you might see. Have a great week-end my friends and thank-you so much for your support and kind comments.
Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.

Had to share the roadway with this young Bison in Lone Elk Park, St. Louis County, Missouri. I am grateful it didn't decide to head butt my door. That has been know to happen there.
I found it in the forest, during the walk with my dog, and I was very surprised, 'cos I did not know that these fruits can be found in nature here. I thought they only grew in gardens :)
Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) is a species of Rubus native to eastern North America. The plant grows in disturbed areas, especially those that are logged or cut. It is also found in meadows, and near streams and lakes, trails or roadways. The round-shaped fruit is a 12 to 15 mm in diameter, it is edible, and has a high content of anthocyanins and ellagic acid. The center for black raspberry production is in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The berries are typically dried or frozen, made into purées and juices, or processed as colorants. Fresh berries are also marketed in season.

Czarne maliny znalezione w lesie podczas spaceru z psicą (tak, to malina, nie jeżyna). Zaskoczyłam się bardzo, bo nie sądziłam, iż te owoce można spotkać w naturze. Wydawało mi się, że jest to wyłącznie odmiana hodowlana :)
Czarna malina (Rubus occidentalis) to krzew jagodowy pochodzący z Ameryki Północnej, blisko spokrewniony ze znacznie popularniejszymi malinami właściwymi (czerwonymi) i jeżynami. Owoce czarnej maliny są smaczne, nadają się zarówno do bezpośredniego spożycia jak i na przetwory. Można z nich przygotowywać soki, dżemy oraz używać do dekoracji ciast i deserów. Posiadają wyjątkowe właściwości zdrowotne i odżywcze. Zawartość antocyjanów w czarnej malinie pięciokrotnie przewyższa ich zawartość w malinie czerwonej. Owoce czarnej maliny są też bogate w substancje przeciwzapalne oraz przeciwbakteryjne.
I found this one lane road over a small dam on a lake. The fog was very thick. The Sun had already rose, but the fog diffused the light.

Thanks for stopping by
An aerial view of a hillside with roadways in Abbotsford, BC., Canada, on a snowy day. The image appears two dimensional and does not reveal the steep hills, the homes and roadways are built on. The curving four lane road is following the contour of the hillside. The white trail in the lower half is Discovery Trail and the four lane roadway with yellow lines is Whatcom Road. A major power grid is faintly visible in the lower third of the landscape.

▶ Phyla nodiflora —commonly known as frogfruit, Texas Frogfruit, Turkey Tangle Fogfruit [NOT frogfruit!], and matchweed— is a species of flowering plant in the family Verbenaceae. It can be found in the tropics around the globe; in the United States, throughout the southern half of the nation. It grows in fields, roadways, ditches, and beaches, and on the banks of ponds and streams.
Most species of frogfruit are low growing, dense spreading native plants reaching less than 6-inches in height (15 cm). The leaves are green in color and oval in shape with notches running along the sides. They stand on upright stalks, giving them the nickname matchweed or matchhead. In the fall and winter, the leaves turn a purplish red shade.
Frogfruit blooms March through November The small flowers, ⅕-inch wide (½-cm), contain five white-to-pink petals surrounding a dark purple center cone. The petals of Texas frog fruit are white, although other species may have pink, purple, yellow, or blue petals.
