Vinca Minor or Periwinkle. A sprawling ground cover plant.
This is a garden escapee found at the top of an old disused railway embankment close to where there once used to be a signal box serving the old goods yard.
I thought that the Queen Anne's Lace was a rather elegant serving platter for the renegade verbena. It's always fun to see unexpected sights such as this.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
A pair of rebuilt former BN GP30s lead the Brainerd Local down the street in Brainerd, MN 13 years ago today on April 18, 2007.
The local is here heading south to the mainline after serving the Wausau Paper mill. BNSF served this stretch of street running 3 days a week back in 2007. This former Potlatch paper mill in Brainerd went through several owners in the 2000s and finally closed for good in 2013. BNSF no longer runs down FIrst Street here in Brainerd, as the mill was the only customer on this little branch.
This pair of 30s, which the BN classified as a GP39E and GP39M respectively, made several trips on the Brainerd Local that spring. Since I lived along the Brainerd Sub. in McGregor in 2007, I chased this BNSF 2748 and 2811 pair several times that spring.
That white Chevy Corsica on the left looks exactly like the railfan car I drove around the Twin Cities in the late 90s. Funny seeing it here when I dug out this shot as I haven't seen a Corsica for years.

Santa Fe Island
Galapagos

These beautiful colorful locusts, endemic to the Galapagos Islands, typically grow to around 8 centimeters in length. The large painted locusts are an important part of the food chain on the islands, serving as principal prey for lava lizards and the Galapagos hawk.
The large painted locust is one of two species of painted locust endemic to the Galapagos Islands. First described by Carl Stål in 1861, they can easily be identified by their bright colouration.
They are found on all islands except for Española, where the small painted locust is present. They are abundant in the lowlands, particularly after heavy rainfall, and can often be seen surrounding lights on the inhabited islands.
The large painted locust is not closely related to any mainland species, but it is believed they most likely colonised the Galapagos Islands by flight as they are very strong fliers. They are also very good jumpers, easily able to reach up to 3 metres.
The large painted locust belongs to the genus Schistocerca. Commonly called bird grasshoppers, is a genus of grasshoppers, many of which swarm as locusts. There are around 50 other species in the genus of which the best known is the desert locust.

I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I know): their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; but after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. (Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories)
The Reading & Northern “mountain job” serves Universal Forest Products in Gordon, Pennsylvania. The customer’s lumber business is located on the one-time site of the Reading locomotive facility. Gordon gained notice as the base for steam’s last stand on the Reading, when the last active T1 4-8-4’s were assigned to helper service here until 1957.
Having just finished switching the upper level of the Blommer Chocolate plant, UP 815 (an ex-MoPac GP38-2) wheels around the curve at Noble Street, Chicago, with a pretty respectable consist in tow. This job, along with the one serving the Tribune and lower level of Blommer, is the nearest freight operation to downtown Chicago these days, coming very close to Ogilvie Transportation Center / North Western Station. It originates at Proviso Yard and serves what few industries exist between there and the downtown area, before tying up in the California Avenue coach yard just west of Tower A-2.

CP G13 pops across the bridge at Northern Maine Junction on the former Bangor and Aroostook mainline from Searsport, now the CP Bangor Subdivision, behind three matching GP20C-ECOs. In the distance is the BAR coaling tower located across from the railroad's former corporate offices in Hermon. CP's acquisition of CMQ in 2020 marks the fourth time the Bangor and Aroostook has changed hands since losing its independence in 1995.
Back in the mid-nineties, FEC experimented with a pair of trailer trains numbered 085/086 between Jacksonville, FL and NS Brosnan Yard in Macon, GA via trackage rights on NS. You can see the typical result - two trailers amid a short train of empties. On a brighter note were the handful of GP40's adorned with the old-school FEC emblem and heritage-themed slogan.
Here, FEC train 085 runs south under the very eastern terminus of Interstate 10 in Jacksonville, FL on 16 April 1995, headed for FEC Milepost 0 at the northern end of the St. John's river bridge. In the background is Honeymoon Yard and wye, serving CSX, NS, Conrad Yelvington Aggregates, and a TTX rebuild facility, Beaver Street, and the very top of former Jax Terminal BS Tower behind the line of parked freight cars.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

A Branford Steam Railroad train gets ready to push Posillico loads over to the Providence & Worcester pickup yard in Pine Orchard. This would have to been done in 2 separate trips as the “7” has been worn down from all the years serving the Quarry railroad.
Serving War 1 is a macro photograph of a French Geranium leaf.
It is a part of a series called 'Plates'. But plates can serve up many things, and while I eat, I remember those who have been served insecurity.
About the photo:
I was out taking photographs when I saw these dried geranium leaves. It started drizzling, so I brought a lot of them home and continued the photoshoot on a light box.
This bean seed has germinated inside kitchen paper and a plastic freezer bag, serving as an upcycled propagator. Lets help nature conquer the paper and plastic waste era; not the other way around.
NS manifest train 321 growls south not far out from its destination point of Brosnan Yard in Macon, Georgia. 321 is bound for the southernmost point on the NS system, Jacksonville, FL - truly serving the south.
Call it "Serving the Customer Saturday," I suppose! On December 29, 2020, Vermont Rail System's New York and Ogdensburg Railway (NYOG) -- using VTR 801 -- shoves two boxcars for APC Paper down their spur in Norfolk, NY. The track to the right is the NYOG's "main," which was originally the Norwood and St. Lawrence Railroad (and later the St. Lawrence & Raquette River).
This is the one and only time I've caught the NYOG serving APC Paper, but -- ironically -- APC's predecessor, St. Regis Paper, was the owner of the original railroad, the Norwood and St. Lawrence Railroad. The brief history (off the top of my head and not from Wikipedia) is that St. Regis Paper eventually decided they no longer wanted the railroad, so they offered it for free (as a nice tax write off) to the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority (OBPA). The OBPA already owned what was left of the old Rutland line between Ogdensburg and Norwood, so -- with the added trackage -- the St. Lawrence & Raquette River was formed. The NYOG succeeded the St. Lawrence & Raquette River as the operator of the OBPA-owned trackage (in 2002, I think).

Photo and blogger challenges are so rare! Tink Hax proposed a photo challenge in February for anyone willing to try to recreate a photo of their choosing from their Pinterest board. With the participants on the list, I was nervous, to say the least. But I went ahead and pushed through the nervousness, meticulously searching for items that were identical or pretty darn close to my inspo photo. I think that I did a pretty good job, even after taking minor liberties like not using eyeshadow!
What do you think, gang?
Thank you for the challenge, Tink! It was great fun and I hope you like the shot!

The Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf is a provincial school in Belleville, Ontario with residential and day programs serving elementary and secondary deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
Teachers are both deaf and hearing.
This school is named after the former premier of Ontario, James Whitney. When it opened in 1870 (in an adjacent building) it employed Samuel Thomas Greene, the first recognized hearing-impaired teacher of hearing-impaired pupils in Ontario. He was born in 1843 in Portland, Maine and attended America's first Deaf school in Hartford, Connecticut.
