I think the poem Single Tree by Daniel Dawes suits this well:
I watch the light move across the land,
Gliding across the fields with ease,
Shades of green shifting constantly,
Darkness and light working together.
A single tree simply surviving,
Gracefully accepting all seasons,
Its deep roots keeping it grounded,
Its leaves allowing it to sing its song.
I watch its movement in the breeze,
I since its aliveness,
I feel its stillness,
I understand its far more than its label.
The invisible wind changes direction,
The sun falls behind the clouds,
It becomes colder,
The senses pick this up but the stillness remains.
A thought passes through my mind,
A simple question,
I choose to follow it,
It simply sits in my awareness.
What is this stillness?
That does not change with the environment,
That is unaffected by thought,
That senses the sensations.
I look back to the tree,
The awareness looks back at myself,
The mirror begins to reflect the same thing,
I thank the tree for its lesson.
Image: Single exposure, uv filter. That tan hill where the tree sits is just starting to sprout! I figure all will be green within another week or so.
An AC4400 leads I031 south through RO on Track 2. This train is still entirely single stacks as work is being begun to raise Howard Street tunnel in Baltimore - the last major obstacle to double-stack clearance on CSX's north-south corridor along the east coast.
One single long exposure. No photoedition : straight out of the camera except for contrast/crop.

The first time I have ever seen a single 86 on a liner on the northern section of the WCML. A later conversation with a FL driver suggested that all is not well with the AL6s and reliability is becoming a severe issue. Get em overhauled, i say. Totally without bias....

"Hey honey, did you hear about that lady from Mali who gave birth to nine babies in Morocco today?"
"Ya, so what? Big deal! Quincy, get back in line with your brothers and sisters!"

UP QWCEW 18 splits one of the intermediate searchlight masts between Thermal and Mecca on UP's Yuma Subdivision. As UP's double tracking efforts have extended east all the way from the Salton Sea to Niland, this section remains single track with searchlights - for now.
Not chosen for Looking Close on Friday, but the "single marble" assignment sure woke me up to how interesting marbles are to shoot. So there may be more showing up from time to time.
A single feather in black and white.
Shot with the EF-M 18-150mm @141mm and a 21mm extension tube. Lighting by a single Godox TT685C, trigger by a Godox XPro.
Unfortunately, I now have to gift wrap the XPro again, because it actually is my Christmas present
Looking Close... on Friday!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, especially to those who are single. This day kind of sucks hey ;).
On this day to celebrate love, I would like to share a story about my son Micah who is 6 years old and severely autistic. He has been predominantly non-verbal but is progressively saying more words. Micah said mummy to me for the first time today <3. A greater love I could not have in my life. Cherish the moments and appreciate love in all its forms - there could be no greater gift on Valentine's Day for me.
