Picturesque view of a hidden bay and seascape surrounded by sandy beaches, hills and dunes. Shot with a Canon EOS 700D from Ras Mohamed nature reserve.
I took this in Sandy Hook, New Jersey on a Mid-March morning for
masochists and seagulls. It was cold but I am pleased with the result.
Having just departed Shelby with a fresh crew, Q697 heads west up the Big Sandy Subdivision at Ford's Branch, KY as low clouds obscure the background mountains.

I am on vacation this week and I've been itching to get out and take some pictures! I recently photographed a bridal shower so I wanted to give my 70-200 f2.8 a rest and pull out my trusted 10-20mm f3.5 from Sigma.
The weather is going to be subpar for photography the next few days and it has been a while since I've photographed the sunset. Thus, this evening at Sandy Point was where I was heading off to. I lucked out greatly with the clouds and I'm very pleased with how things came out.
This peahen (pavo cristatus) was preening herself on a hard-packed, sandy area of Yale National Park, in Sri Lanka. Out of shot, but nearby, was a displaying male.
"Sandy jonquille "
Comme chaque année, je prends plaisir à redécouvrir cette belle Narcissus assoanus au détour d'un chemin de randonnée ! Ces fleurs aux couleurs du soleil me rappellent un dessin animé que j'aimais dans mon enfance Sandy jonquille, nous avions le même chien et caractère enjoué :p
Belle journée à vous

Le narcisse d'Asso, parfois appelé aussi narcisse à feuilles de jonc, est une petite plante printanière à fleurs jaunes poussant souvent en abondance dans les collines pierreuses calcaires des régions méditerranéennes, jusqu'à 1200 mètres. Il appartient au genre Narcissus et à la famille des Amaryllidacées. Wikipédia
A pair of Shelby assigned CW44's climb the 1% grade through S.E. Trammel as they prepare to enter the north portal of the 7854' long Sandy Ridge Tunnel. This crew ran down to Allen lite and picked up M653’s train from the night before after they were put on Santa Train rescue duty.
With less than a month until Pan Am disappears as an independent regional I figured I should do a bit more documentation before the end. So despite wanting to go to Palmer I passed on the B&A and headed to Ayer figuring AYPO would be a sure thing. Alas there was narry a proper painted unit to be found which I suppose is the proper way to document the last dying gasps of everyone's least favorite railroad. This has got to be the only case where a soulless Class 1 like CSXT will be the lesser of evils!
Anyway, AYPO (daily Ayer to Portland manifest) finally got a roll on out of town with yet another bedraggled ex CSXT patch job C40-8 leading. So making the best of less than ideal conditions I incorporated a few old wayside elements as they begin to accelerate toward the Willows where they will diverge from the Keolis/MBTA Fitchburg Line onto the old Stony Brook Branch (all part of modern day Pan Am's east west Freight Mainline). The old granite Boston and Maine era milepost standing guard here just west of the Sandy Pond Road crossing denotes the mileage to North Station in that old road's namesake city.

Sandy and Pip by the daffodils .
Behind the house . We used to breed Welsh Mountain Ponies .
Sandy is the only pony here now - she is 26 years old.
One of a handful of places in New Jersey that I have visited ever since I was a kid. It's a location I have gone to unwind and de-stress, to ponder, to immerse myself in nature, and to simply enjoy. I have gone with friends, with family, and alone. I have never once regretted a trip out there, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. I wish you all a great week, and I hope you get to spend time in your own special place!

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

We had a trip to Sandaig on the Glenelg peninsula today and I just had to take a couple of shots of the un-named falls on the Sandaig Burn.
I have called them Sandy's Falls in honour of my dad who grew up in the house at Sandaig before the much more famous Gavin Maxwell moved there and gave it the fictitious name Camusfearna.
Week 38 in 52 Weeks for Dogs. On Thursday we spent an hour at the beach. Tasku always likes to have a roll in the sand but this time she did it over and over - with this rather comical result - and this was after she had shaken the worst of it off her coat. The daft dog gets sand in her eyes and then puts up a very sandy paw to try and wipe it off!
Empire Sandy began serving the Great Lakes as a tall ship in 1982 based in Toronto, Canada. The 200-foot (61 m) long topsail schooner offers sailings for the public, chartered tours, including weddings and other events, on Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Licensed by Transport Canada to carry 275 passengers, she is Canada's largest topsail schooner. Visitors are usually welcome on board during the day.
Empire Sandy is believed to be the last Empire ship built during WWII to be still sailing.

I finished my little hike at Sandy Heys for sunset. Unfortunately there wasn't much cloud left by then. Lovely evening though.
