With a seemingly endless parade of YN3 to shoot, the signals were the only appeal at Deshler at 4 in the morning. With a relatively short train, Q506 rumbles into town with a pair of AC4400s leading the way, splitting the classic signals that protect the south end of town.
Concerned about Callie's seemingly chronic diarrhea, I took her to the vet today along with a stool sample. She's been acting quite healthy except for the diarrhea and weight loss, but the vet suspected a thyroid problem that was subsequently confirmed by blood work that also showed concerning kidney values. None of this is immediately life threatening but would be if left untreated, so we will start with iodine treatment to eliminate the thyroid tumor and then introduce a special diet along with nightly fluid therapy to reduce the danger of kidney failure.
Kidney issues were a major feature of the last year of my Angus (shown below), who passed away at the age of 20 in 2015. The nightly fluid treatment is sometimes welcomed by an aging cat, as it can actually give them some pleasure and relief. The main thing with Callie is to give her as comfortable a final 2-3 years as possible.

Oriental trousers, blonde hair, elegant Italian woman, laid-back, the big bag under her arm, but running as in a 400-meter race, the first bend, on a building full of angular edges and jagged shadows, designed by a great architect with baroque body shapes under the southern sun with blue skies and clouds of cotton wool ... I think, it was worth a try ... ;-) ...

Seemingly dead trees stand still above G532 and G521, as their recognisable sound echos throughout Somerville whilst they pass through with "Butterbox" containers and several steel flat wagons on 9564 Long Island Steel Train from Bluescopes Hastings to North Dynon in Melbourne.
Seemingly dark, menacing clouds begin to envelop the Commodore Barry Bridge....or just nice timing for Black and White!
A seemingly very curious alpha male of a small pack of Red Howler Monkeys, photographed in the Magdalena Valley of Colombia.
After taking what seemingly felt like all day and giving us anxiety attacks watching our light fade and the shadows creepin, Indiana Harbor Belt train BP2 finally departed Blue Island Yard. IHB 3861 (SD38-2) and IHB 4018 (GP40-2) lead a UP SD70M and a UP SD70ACe as they slowly crawl around the corner northbound at 139th street in Blue Island, IL, beginning their journey to Union Pacific’s Proviso Yard along the IHB West Line at sunset.

Seemingly when you think you leave a pigeon behind they seem to follow. Old Town had this beautiful pigeon who kept pecking at food, plants and flying around people who dodged them.
This seemingly reserved and almost bashful tricolored heron peered at me around some wetland vegetation.
A Sandpiper, seemingly unconcerned about the dramatics offshore, goes about mining sand crabs for breakfast. Along the Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina. Thanks for the visit and have a large weekend everybody. Polarizer on this one which is why the colors jumped out of their shoes.
If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love than if you were alone
Memories turn into daydreams, become a taboo
I don't want to be afraid, the deeper that I go
It takes my breath away, soft hearts, electric souls
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes, is this taboo?
Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now, shake it till you see it
And when your fantasies become your legacy
Promise me a place, in your house of memories
Seemingly grazing in the "Walkabout" section of the Wild Animal Safari Park near Pine Mountain Georgia.
Handsome male Wood Duck quietly peering out at me from a small clump of pond reeds. Had he not caught my eye early-on so I could watch him slowly paddle to this location, it's likely he would have escaped being photographed.
A clear demonstration of how a seemingly showy natural coloration produces effective camouflage under the proper conditions.
Common resident migrant during the warm seasons.
Made my annual pilgrimage to see the Northern Metalmarks in the Maryland mountains.
This small and seemingly unremarkable butterfly is classified as threatened and rare with a state ranking of S2 and declining.
A strict habitat and host plant specialist, the Northern Metalmark flies in the unforgiving shale barrens and limestone outcrops where one would normally not look for a butterfly.
Finding a Metalmark is like finding a gemstone amid the crumbling rubble of the shale slopes. The beauty of this diminutive butterfly is hidden in the details of its delicate metallic bands that sparkle in the sun and look especially gorgeous when viewed thru good binoculars. This butterfly has beautiful emerald colored eyes that stand out against the chocolate brown open wings and harmonize perfectly with the bright orange on the underside of its wings. (see next two shots)
This butterfly has a very short life of only about two weeks. Adults love to nectar on yellow composites, especially the Woodland Sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus) that grows on shale barrens and blooms precisely during the short adult life of this precious butterfly.
The larval host plant is the Roundleaf Ragwort (Packera obovata). Females lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves. The caterpillars hatch in August and begin to feed on the leaves. Half-grown they burrow into the soil around the leaf rosette where they sleep until spring. When they emerge next June they crawl back to the host plant and begin to feed again. By month's end they form a chrysalis on the soil around the ragwort. Winged adults emerge in late June and begin to adorn their nectar plants as in this photo.
This is the only Metalmark (Riodinidae) species in Maryland.
The seemingly never-ending beach at Baile Sear/Baleshare on the west coast of North Uist, not far from where we were staying at Clachan an Luib.
The seemingly light-emitting cold drops on plants reflect light in nature`s own gentle glow. The seasonal impact on nature is stunningly beautiful and always a pleasure to photograph.

Seen at Sepulveda Basin WIldlife Reserve, Van Nuys, CA. These are cute little birds that seemingly are continuously diving for food.
Seemingly endless lights looking off to the horizon towards Brooklyn, from the Empire State Building. On this very windy and cold night, I felt fortunate to get a few decent photos. Temperatures were in the 20's, and the wind gusts must have been about 40 to 50 m.p.h.
A seemingly endless maze of pipes and handles in the closed Georgetown Steam Plant that is now a museum open to the public once a month. The instructions are on a large pipe on the middle right.
This snowy egret flew in with the catch of the day. After a couple minutes of tossing it and getting it re-positioned, the fish went down the gullet face first, leaving the egret seemingly satisfied.
When there is seemingly no soil and certainly no water on a scree slope not only do the Kokerboom trees flourish but this little flower has found a foothold. I can only imagine that the broken rock has given shade and shelter enough to preserve a tiny amount of water, enough for life in this wilderness.
When the sky and sea blend into one grey continuity, our world, and the netherworld merge too.
Or, if you prefer, a foggy day on Bodega Bay.

This Great Egret had a seemingly pensive look which drew me to capture this profile.
From the University of Florida:
Diet: The Great Egret is a silent and patient stalker. It will stand still and wait patiently to strike or it will slowly wade through the water hoping to grab its prey. The Great Egret is a generalist. It will feed on fish, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and even other birds. Sometimes you may see Great Egrets sway their neck from side to side before striking.
This also demonstrates the hand-held ability of the budget RF800 combined with the budget R7 APS-C camera and current processing.
The APS-C sensor rendered this photo at about 1200mm.

The camellias. I could see them, seemingly endless rows of big, bushy green trees with waxy leaves and showy flowers the size of saucers. Pinks, reds- bursting into bloom, as if they'd been painted by the Queen of Hearts. -Sarah Jio
Camellias continued...
I never cease to be amazed at the seemingly flimsy branches that the grey herons perch on, but reading below you will see that they only weigh a maximum of 2 kilograms.
We have a colony on the island in my local park.
Grey herons nest in groups at the same locations for generations, in sites known as heronries. To save time they will often reuse last year’s nest. They start arriving and making house repairs in February. Heron chicks can take as long as eight weeks to fledge, so even with an early start they will still be in the nest later than other young birds.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a beautiful statuesque bird, native to vast swathes of the Eastern Hemisphere. It’s found in a broad range of wetland habitats from Britain to Norway, to Japan, and South Africa and almost every country in between - bar the hottest deserts, and the coldest mountain ranges.
Here in Britain, the grey heron is one of the tallest birds you’ll encounter, standing at over a metre in height. Its size, combined with its smart grey black and white whiskery plumage, makes this fishing specialist instantly recognisable. Despite its grand looks and a 6ft whopper of a wingspan, the average heron weighs little more than a pheasant, with bigger males only reaching a maximum of 2 kilograms.
The St. Paul Turn seemingly went on a whirlwind tour on this Saturday. In the morning, they went straight into the Commercial to drop cars, then shoved back out onto the Midway with the remainder of their train to continue down to CP's St. Paul Yard. Later in the afternoon, they came out at Hoffman with some cars and went up the Midway to St. Anthony to shove into the Commercial Yard. From there they went down to St. Paul again to eventually bring some more cars back up Shortline Hill, which required a second attempt at the hill it seems.
Here at St. Anthony they get some headroom with the first cut of cars in order to double up their train and head for home. Just about this time, the Union Yard job was shoving past. After making a joint, they pulled ahead a perfect amount for nice standard cab en passant.
A crane seemingly towers over the Canon headquarters in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
Taken with a Canon, a pilgrimage of sorts . . .
These seemingly autonomous machines emerged from the far side of the planet. Nobody ever discovered exactly where they came from or who created them.

I'm always impressed by Shannon Sproule's ability to build sci-fi models in just one colour. I thought I'd give it a go for Febrovery!
This vehicle really rolls. There's a short video of it in action on Instagram, plus a couple more photos.
After seemingly endless flitting from branch to branch buried deep inside a bush, this Cape May warbler rewarded my patience with a pose on a Common Mullein.
A view over a seemingly untouched natural and cultural landscape in the Vulkaneifel region of Germany. Each season has its own unique charm. Late autumn, with its final warm rays of sunshine, offers one of the last opportunities to enjoy the warmth and the breathtaking views over the rocky and forested landscape.
The Eifelsteig is particularly interesting for hikers: This 313-kilometer-long long-distance hiking trail stretches from Aachen to Trier and is divided into 15 stages. Along the route, hikers can experience fantastic natural highlights time and again. More information is available at: www.eifelsteig.de/
The 400 mm view from Snelling Avenue perfectly fits in-between the power lines, and exactly frames where the gap in the tree line is. It is certainly one of the nicer views within the immediately vicinity with the hill and all. If only one could get a few more feet of sidewalk separation with the unseparated traffic lanes.
An empty oil train heads west with a tired MAC second-out on the last day of February.
A seemingly deserted shop whose Christmas decorations still were hung up even in the mid summer in central Zürich. Poor Santa looked even more bloated than usual and as if he was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, There is an art to the shop display, though, even when it's a sad scene.

Seemingly useless and rather large steel, green ornaments on a facade, which run from a small canopy to the windows behind it.
I saw the nails of a gigantic bird in it...
I know I'm seemingly obsessed with snow now but we've simply had SO much that it's really all I've photographed for many months now. We awake today in what is now supposed to spring to more of the white stuff. I'm 'pretty' certain there can't be any more though and spring will shoo it away soon!
This spot was a bit of a challenge to get to as it's nestled up on Grinton Moor in Swaledale but it's a favourite spot I visit and I didn't have it in the snow so made an effort (well....when I say I made an effort....I got my husband to drive the car who's a lot be experienced in winter driving than me - Southerner that I am lol!).
Arches of colour - Dusk descends across Batty Moss after the winter sun drops below the western horizon dramatically silhouetting Ribblehead Viaduct. The sky seemingly loaded with the colours of the rainbow; the arches filled with the intense orange afterglow of sunset and the top of the viaduct delimiting the cooler tones of the sky above.
This was taken on my last visit to Ribblehead - New Year's Eve in 2019 and over a whole year ago now - I find it hard to believe that I did not manage a single visit to one of my favourite locations during the whole of 2020. Oh how so much has changed in that time.
Stay safe everyone.
Ribblehead Viaduct, Yorkshire Dales National Park
This seemingly wild scene does lack the natural tree cover that once would have carpeted most of the Highlands below 600 metres.
There are attempts in the area to promote regeneration in the form of a high, visually intrusive deer fence, which encloses a laughably small portion of Beinn Suidhe's northern slopes.
Token; small-scale; unambitious; half-hearted, I could go on . . .
What a week it’s been. For me another of my seemingly endless trips to ER, this time with excruciating Kidney stones. Then yesterday, as many of you have no doubt heard, our biggest land earthquake ever measuring 5.9. It was felt in several other States. It was quite frightening and left me shaking, long after the rumbles and movement of the earth around me stilled. We were fortunate in a number of ways in that the overall damage was minimal and, probably thanks to lockdown, no-one was injured.
Unlike the 2011 Earthquake in New Zeland which caused a devastating amount of damage to the city of Christchurch from which they are still recovering. When I visited in 2019, I was surprised at how much damage remained with so little money to rebuild. One animal that has made the most of is the abandoned buildings the Black-billed gull who have chosen this half-demolished office block on Armagh Street in central Christchurch as a nesting site. This gull was once the most threatened gull species in the world but with some recovery, is now listed as “near Threatened”.
Many conservationists and bird loves are thrilled at having this special bird in the heart of the city but not so the developer as the birds presence is preventing development. Local cafe owners also dislike the birds being around as they "harass" diners for food. I hope the bird wins the stand -off in the long run but I am unsure of the current status of the site. It is pretty rare that an animal ever wins in these situations.
Unfortunately I am still dealing with alot of issues that make it hard to be on computer for long periods. Not going to bore you with all that but it is the reason for my sporadic Flickr work.
Hope everyone is safe and well and enjoying any freedoms you may have.
