Cumbres and Toltec RR, Engine 489, K-36 Class, at the first crossing heading to Cumbres. I edited it in HDR, a little unusual for me but I liked the look. It is said that a "proper" steam train photograph is taken when the rods are in the down position. And so it is.... :)

Rödlus
Rödlus (Corizus hyoscyami) har röd mitt, skutell, på ryggtriangeln. Den har en halssköld med två svarta sidofläckar och svarta rektanglar på vingarna.
Rödlusen är snarlik både eldlus och främst riddarbagge, men den uppträder alltid enstaka, aldrig i stora mängder. Den fullbildade rödlusen är också lite hårig vilket inte riddarbaggen är.
Rödlöss suger växtsaft från mogna frön av allehanda växter, även om den föredrar korgblomsväxter.

Verbascum thapsus
Amazing what comes up in a plantpot of soil left lying around. It is beautiful, but a third of the size I have seen it. The info is from a wild seed site.
In my garden 21st June 2020 Staford UK
Other Names: Common Mullein, Great Mullein, Candlewick Plant, High Taper
Distribution: A native British wild flower, which is fairly common throughout Britain.
Habitat: It thrives on grassland, banks and dry fields & pastures in sunny sites.
Description: Biennial. Tall, straight flower spikes in the second year from June to August. In the first year the leaves form a rosette, but in the second year the stem extends from the rosette and leaves alternate along it. The flower spikes have individual yellow flowers along the stem. The leaves have a downy whitish coating of tiny hairs.
Uses: In early days the downy coating from the leaves was scraped off and used to make candle wicks. At country gatherings the whole stem was set alight and used as a torch. The flowers can be used as a yellow hair dye. Although most of the plant is poisonous, the dried flowers were once used to make a fruity flavoured medicine which was thought to relieve coughs and chills.
Wildlife: This is the food plant of the Mullein Moth.
RBMN train JTOS approaches the Industrial Rd crossing at Panther Creek passing some color fall foliage. Every time I am out shooting #425 I'm reminded of why this engine is such a fan favorite and why its been a favorite of mine since I was a young boy watching it operate between Temple and Hamburg back in the mid-80s.
Rat Rod’s started out back in the 40-50’s and it’s a custom car deliberately worn down, unfinished appearance, typically lacking paint, showing rust, and made from cheap or castoff parts.
