Stephenson's Rocket is an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement. It was built for and won the Rainhill Trials of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, in October 1829 .................
Found this little bug on my last Biking Tour - the perspective almost looked to me like he is on his way on an rocket ramp to get ready for a lift off :)

This is taken on the veranda of the Rocket Cafe Cromer. Scared of heights, forty foot drop but no camera shake ! Note robust fence! It was a beautiful bright day after two days of driving rain.
I grew up with cats. Even when I was a baby they were always around and I observed early on how different their personalities were. And that is why, when I found out that much of the food I was eating was animals, I realized I had to stop that. Going vegetarian at 13 always made sense to me, though I am not sure why I didn't start even sooner. Why would I eat a cow, a chicken, or a pig if I wouldn't eat a cat or a dog?
Rocket is very different from his brother, Ollie (who I posted a photo of last week) even though they share both nature/ genetics (they are brothers from the same litter) and nurture (adopted as kittens by my neighbors). Rocket is one of those cats that is an observer and needs additional time to warm up to you. Once he decides you are safe, he is loyal and affectionate but he lets Ollie be the charming life of the party right away.
Basically, Ollie is the cat who is instantly intoxicated and dancing on top of the countertops with a shrimp cocktail in his hand/paw while Janelle Monae blasts out of the speakers while Rocket prefers to listen to Tom Waits and think about life and his place in existence. You're going to dance with Ollie first and let him take you up to the rooftop to dip you below the moon but you're going to talk to Rocket at 3am about why is it we are all still here after Ollie has collapsed into an exhausted heap to dream about swimming with fishes and flying with seagulls (I think that's what cats dream about).

Another view of one of the F-86s (Okay okay, the Australian CA-27 variant, so you purists will stop yelling at me!) in that location I was asked not to divulge by the owner (that I also respectfully ask you to not divulge) from the "Boneyard" book, but never shown online. Shot a few minutes after yesterday's post, facing the other way, just after midnight in March 2011. Stormy, cold, and camera-killingly windy. 3:13 of broken full moon, with red and white LED flashlight. Someone should put some wheels on it and see how fast it'll do a lap at Daytona.
Reprocessed and replaced, May 2025.

Peaking over the foliage outside the Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park are two towering metal structures you wouldn’t expect to find in Queens, rocketships. These space-age remnants are relics of the United States Space Park, an attraction created by NASA and the Department of Defense for the 1964 World’s Fair. These vessels aren’t even the first rockets to come to New York City. In 1957, a Redstone rocket was put on display in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal. While the Redstone rocket was only a temporary fixture, you can still see the World’s Fair’s rockets today in Rocket Park, a playground area outside the Hall of Science.
Bumpy Rocket Frog (Litoria inermis) from Mataranka in the Top End of the Northern Territory. Taken with a vintage Yashica 55/2.8 1:2 ML Macro lens for Contax/Yashica from the late 1970's. Shot wide open @2.8 with a 20mm extension tube incorporated for a little added magnification on a Canon 5D Mark III body.
The early May air is comfortably warm in downtown Baraboo, as the Reedsburg bound freight (L463), rolls by the former Chicago and Northwestern depot with a pair of good looking WSOR SD's.
