After spending a Sunday afternoon switching in Middletown, train CT-1 with 11 cars for Cedar Hill Yard passes in Middlefield.
Cory's Shearwater is the largest shearwater and the largest seabird that breeds in the Madeira archipelago. It has long, broad and slightly rounded wings and its bill is stout to medium-stout, long and with a hooked tip.
It is a grey-brown seabird with white underparts. It has greyish-brown upperparts, neck sides and head with no marked cap. Its underwings are white with dark remiges and the bill is yellowish.
Cory's Shearwaters flight is relaxed, low, very close to the sea and weaving its body through the waves, rarely beating its wings. Under strong winds, it flies higher describing consecutive ‘U’s and when coming lower it seems that it almost touches the surface. Around the Atlantic islands, it is common to hear them after sunset near the coastline all around the island.

This is the South shore of Hornby Island (see the map). This rolling meadow begins at the edge of our friend's property and ends in 100 ft cliffs made of the most amazing aggregate rock. Below is a beautiful, horseshoe pebble beach, where we spent a few hours before being picked up in the boat.
Sometimes I have to tell my inner critic, who wants everything to line up nice and tidy, to just sit down and be quiet. :D
This is our federal post office, built in 1938.

This awesome and scary looking shelf cloud rolled through our area in Northern Illinois last week. Unbelievably, all we got from its passage was a little wind and a few sprinkles. Nonetheless, we ended up getting more than 2" of rain that day from the less "picturesque" storms....

Here's another frame from this fabulous Saturday in Western Mass.
After shooting this train up at the coal tipple in Chester a mini chase ensued and this was the third and final stop CSXT M426 the daily Selkirk to Rigby (via Worcester and Ayer) manifest is eastbound at about MP 115.4 on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Subdivision mainline in this view looking down off the Main Street overpass.
The Western Railroad of Massachusetts opened this segment of railroad for business in 1841, and pushing two centuries later the route not only survives but reigns supreme as the busiest and only Class 1 trunk line into New England. The Boston and Albany Railroad was formed in 1870 when the companies to the east and west were merged into one railroad linking its two namesake cities. Despite being leased by the New York Central in 1900 the B&A name survived for another half century. The NYC itself would become the Penn Central in 1968 and the line would pass to Conrail in 1976 and become the property of its current owner, CSXT, in 1999.

This weeks SNS is coming early in the day for the simple reason it probably would be a Sunday morning special by the time I get home from the annual Halloween bash at our local watering hole:). BN 4360 leads a couple more bigs westbound into a late evening sun at Avery in this classic Ektachrome by Greg Stadter shot in September 1974. Chuck Schwesinger collection.
Oh how I love backlighting. I wasn’t really sure about this scene, but when I saw the light creep through the scraggly trees and the bright orange in the leaves, I couldn’t look away!

We're getting a heat wave now so I took Benni to the park at sundown yesterday for a cool walk and some rolling on the grass. She was thrilled to find this clover which must smell good judging by her behavior.
(Sorry to have been gone - the last few days my right thumb, the computer mouse-holding thumb has been super painful. I think too much time on the internet these sluggy days so I've had to back off. I'll try to comment on one picture for each of my Flickr friends daily, but have to scale back from an hour of commenting. It seems a bit better from going off the last few days.)
