The title isn't really apt. So nice to be outside at the Denver Botanic Gardens. This and the last two pictures I've posted are evidence that spring is here.

 

Six images, focus stacked.

I bought some tulips.

Der Frühling nimmt langsam richtig Fahrt auf. Nach den Schneeglöckchen folgen nun die Märzenbecher :-)

It was so peaceful and tranquil, and I was most content clicking and enjoying the nature around me. You can imagine my surprise and ever so slight indignation when I realised I had to share the lake with another person who has just started setting his boat. It turned ok(ish) at the end, the guy adding scale to this scene and giving me an idea to bring my own kayak next time.

Northtown's B40-8Ws zoom eastbound with an 8700-foot mixed freight approaching CP52.8.

 

The B40s made a circle tour, first going north to Superior, then west to Grand Forks before heading east back to Northtown, their home base for the last long while.

 

558 & 542 are a popular pair around here, and are just about the only thing interesting left that runs out of Northtown.

 

As a kid in the late-90s and early 2000s, a lot of kid-friendly railroad programs featured the Santa Fe and their red & silver engines. So in a way, there's some childhood nostalgia in seeing red & silver 27+ years after the merger, even if it's badly faded and rusty.

 

The 500s and 600s were once proud members of the superfleet, hauling the hottest trains across the Santa Fe system. Now, these two 500s and six 600s have been assigned to Northtown for yard service, with the 600s being RCO assigned to the hump of all places, times are certainly different

Delve into the springtime forest morning and let your mind explore the beginning of a new day.

Have a safe and wonderous day dear flickr friends.

 

Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated.

Though Autumn has plenty of good points, I have to say I prefer the whole expectation thing that Spring has - the feeling that the natural world is about to wake, rather than fall asleep. On a more practical note, though some Autumn mornings are easily the equal of Spring in terms of photogenic qualities, I prefer the more dramatic, detailed look of the leafless Spring trees when in silhouette, as in this image.

Ohh that springtime feeling of budding trees magically adoring our view of what is so beautiful this time of year.

Have a safe and delightful spring day dear Flickr friends !

We've had some gorgeous weather this past week and I'm thrilled to say that all three cats have gotten to enjoy being outside as much as they like. Happy Caturday's theme this week is Spring and I realize there is not a single thing in the photo that suggests springtime except that I know that Mack is, for the moment, fine and enjoying the warmth and being outside and I am filled with hope.

Explored April 16, 2022

One sunset, 4 focal lengths. The extremes are, apparently most interesting as entirely different pictures: while wideangle is often a landscape 'default', the closer look explains why telephoto is just as essential for landscape photography.

Shot during another outing with my new old Japanese Dukane projector lens. I have it rigged so it functions as a close-up lens. I'm trying to determine if it was worth the effort to rig it so It would fit on my Sony camera.

The fruit trees and ornamental fruit trees are the only thing blooming right now here in bone-dry Santa Fe. It has not snowed any significant amount all winter and has not rained either since the calendar turned to spring. I think all the plants are struggling right now. Here and there you can find some Daffodils but that is about it.
