Even the trees are putting on new growth. This is a hickory, I think. Even the chickadees and titmice seem a little perkier than usual. (The titmouse is opening a sunflower seed.)

The sun has already been over the horizon for a couple hours as IAIS 505 leads two brothers (including the Rock Island Heritage 513) on the South Amana to Cedar Rapids turn through the Iowa countryside south of Walford, Iowa. The hefty train is being lifted over the top of the grade, and will soon be on the roll downgrade on the last few miles towards the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City (Crandic) yard on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids. Ahead they'll drop the interchange and pick up the maximum number of cars the three GE products are rated for on this line (to the disappointment of the Cradic yardmaster who wanted to get rid of more cars...) before returning to South Amana.
While I've had a chance to photograph the Iowa Interstate a number of times, I hadn't managed to get a train on the Cedar Rapids line despite the relatively regular schedule (It seems like I always get distracted by IAIS trains on the "main line" whenever I'm in the area). But I decided to set out on this fine early spring morning with intentions of finally chasing the SACR and CRSA. Things couldn't have worked out much better; just as I arrived the southeast side of Cedar Rapids, I heard the IAIS 505 get a warrant north. This line, owned by the Crandic, has a lot of character as it winds it's way through the Iowa Countryside with just a few backroads following alongside. Track speed is just fast enough to keep things interesting but just slow enough to allow one to chase, and there's lots of neat curves and props (like the wooden bridge I'm standing on to take this shot). While it's not a gaggle of Crandic Geeps or even IAIS SD38s running through here anymore, it's still a neat line to shoot.
My wife and I are on the road for a week and so I'm having a hard time visiting each of your streams. We had a wonderful drive yesterday in Northern Idaho heading toward I90 from Lake Coeur d'Alene.
This is an hdr vertorama of one of the many lakes we passed along the way.

The appearance of the first crocus in the spring is always a surprise. It often comes just a few days after a snowstorm, or more likely, the day before a major storm. This year they've been spared the onslaught of damaging weather, and have been around long enough for the squirrels and birds to sample them, needing saffron for their recipes.

Spring is in full bloom. Everywhere I look, I see new growth and new life. All I want to do is be outdoors and watch it all happen, but I couldn't possibly see everything. It's intoxicating and a bit overwhelming. I'm so afraid I'll miss something.
Like the Elizabeth Magnolia that I'm so obsessed with... I went to the park one day and saw that it was beginning to bloom. So I came back a few days later, and it had bloomed a bit but not fully. I came back three days later, and the blooms were gone. It bloomed, and the wind carried the flowers away. Just like that, it was gone. I suppose there was one perfect day where the magnolia was at its peak, but I missed it.
Maybe that's why Spring is so magical.
