Finally starting to feel like spring again until this morning. Snow on the ground again and back to white. I was enjoying my walk last night and the late night sun on these pine needles made for a really cool looking bokeh.
Tucked away deep in south central Indiana crossing Richland Creek, we found ourselves at Tulip Viaduct. Almost 2300 feet long, the over 100 year old bridge is now part of the Indiana Railroad. The SAHW (Senate Ave - Hiawatha) train crosses over at a slow pace with a somewhat short train. A big shout out to Chris Thompson for being a great guide for the day!
East Penn GP38-2 2173 was arriving in Chadds Ford with its train from Oxford amongst some springtime Foliage.
The GP38-2 was built for the Belt Railway of Chicago and is leased from GMTX..
When it's tulip season, I guess all I can do is go back to the archives! I got plenty of those! ha! I probably have a million! ha!
This, of course, is RoozenGaarde Tulip Gardens located in Skagit Valley, Washington. Wow, how we miss being able to see those gorgeous tulip displays! Hope you enjoy!

Well, flickr has finally forced the beta version on us English speakers, my first impression was yuck, OMG, this sucks...upon further review , I have decided to embrace it. I wish for a couple of fixes, allow me to give and take notes,
I LOVE notes, and designate a place where all my pending Admin invites can be seen.
In the meantime, I'm flipping between English and Spanish,
where I can still enjoy the old version, but I know it won't be long now...
and once again, the images are SO MUCH better in the lightbox! ;-)
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
Happy Spring !

Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is a woodland in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Strelley. It covers a total area of 15.11 hectares. It is owned and managed by The Woodland Trust.
I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.
Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
How to tell the difference.
English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.
Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.

Getting out to Crystal Bridges/Compton Gardens at this time of year is pretty magical. It's sure tough to beat seeing everything in bloom!

The early evening Springtime sun is low in the sky as the returning Saphos trains "Shakespeare Express" with Black 5 No 45231 in charge approaches Danzey in Warwickshire. 19-03-22.
Springtime is my favorite time of the year, so refreshing to watch all things come to life again !! Wishing you all a Beautiful & Blessed Weekend ~ Hugs ~♥~
Just one of those magical scenes where you can sit and watch the day go by!
