When we first moved out here to California over five years ago, we bought a Cymbidium Orchid plant from a street vendor in the farmer's market held on a street each week here in Vallejo, California. Every spring, it blossoms so beautifully and the flowers remain on the plant for many weeks. I'd love to have a studio to take shots of these. Lacking that, I set the pot on our back porch's fence railing. The land drops off rapidly and so it is easy to take shots of things on the railing without background interference. In this shot, I had added the only other plant that was blooming--thus the purple flower. The vast open space behind the plant allowed me to make it appear as though it has a nice field of depth. I was torn as to which picture to use as the main on in this series.... what do you think? (IMG_7732)

These Crocus neglectus nearby Zavelstein, south Germany, are some of the first wild flowers in the year.
On the last March day in Regensburg no problem with the iden of March. Best spring weather shows the photo. Also on the 2nd April a beautiful spring day. The Ides of March are extremely positive.
Not really my thing ( a bit Girly ) however, I could not resist taking a shot of the petals billowing in the wind contrasting against the blue sky.
Sheep & lambs, grass & ploughed fields, and the all important blue sky (albeit with weird cloud) - Cardross, Dunbartonshire.
Presso l'Oasi La Rizza": sono le zone umide dell'ex-risaia di Bentivoglio (Bologna), qui si trovano uccelli d'acqua, tartarughe, bisce d'acqua,e molti animali...
The 9th time I've sat in the mud along the Schuylkill River and the 11th train I've seen there finally yields the quality photograph I had envisioned. A late running NRRB is on it's way home to North Reading as it crosses the river for the first of multiple times at 533pm. This was one month to the day after I had departed Minnesota to begin the road trip.
I don't really have a tremendous amount of set up for today's segment on the Pottsville Branch. I can tell ya that seeing one of the RDG inspired GP38-2's in consist with an MP15 through February and March is probably what stuck in my head and made me put R&N to the top of the list when I got furloughed in early April. A whole bunch of you guys were posting the photo of NRRB coming northward under the former PRR south of Auburn and it was driving me a bit nuts. So I get there, find the shot and BING it's nose-on for 7 months out of the year. Good news is they've recently done a whole lot of brush clearing to open up the wedge. Rumor is it's going to be a trail but man it looks like logging to me.
Anyway the Pottsville Branch is the former Reading passenger main from Port Clinton to Pottsville. At Blue Mountain (a couple miles north of Auburn) the Auburn Runner (former PRR) diverges and goes south back to Auburn. There is HAVEN at Schuyllkill Haven and MINE at the Minersville Branch switch which is also the entrance to West Cressona yard. We already hit the immediate Schuylkill Haven area earlier in this series so hopefully we remember the restored station serving as the headquarters of the R&N passenger department and the repro signs and such. North from MINE the branch ducks into the woods opposite the river from Route 61 before reappearing at Mount Carbon (which I also covered already) and the Muller signal bridge before ending at Pottsville Junction.

This is a slightly artistic rendition of some beautiful springtime dafodils that were blooming at Lake Ruth on the campus of Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois this past April. Our camera club, the WIU Hot Shots, met for a photoshoot at Lake Ruth where there was a myriad of different types of flowers blossoming.

Throughout our lives friends come and go,
like flowers in the garden of our hearts.
But some of the special ones may only be gone
for a season, and when they return, it's springtime again.
I thought this little verdin was cute peeking through the flowers at me at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Verdins nest year-round but they build a more posh breeding nest this time of year which is what a saw a couple doing
