Once again it’s springtime in Texas.
What a glorious sight to behold!
The birds chirp pretty melodies.
The dazzling wildflowers unfold.
I watch the squirrels, they are jumping.
They run and chase playfully.
My three little hens spot a butterfly
And follow it around joyfully.
A breeze blows through and refreshes.
A fresh sprinkle of rain surrounds.
A tired winter prepares for a rest
As spring rushes in leaps and bounds.
*That's the first poem I've written in awhile. I feel a bit rusty but it's a start. I am finally relaxed enough to think about poetry. Yay! Have a beautiful weekend!
Stanley Park is a non-profit privately owned park including an arboretum and botanical garden, located in Westfield, Massachusetts. It is open to the public daily without charge from May to November.
Stanley Park features multiple natural walking and biking trails throughout the woods and along the Little River, as well as leading to a variety of ponds, gardens, and wildlife sanctuary. Along with experiencing nature, Stanley Park features operating mills, a meetinghouse, blacksmith shop, Asian tea house, and dinosaur tracks. The park also is an excellent choice for recreation, with many playing fields, cross country course, a playground, and pavilions.
Frank Stanley Beveridge founded Stanley Park in 1949, on 25 acres of land at 400 Western Ave, Westfield. After he died in 1956, the foundation still honors his contributions to the community.
Frank S. Beveridge was born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1879, and he moved to western Massachusetts in 1900 to attend Mount Hermon School in Northfield. After graduating, he traveled to New York where he married and began a family. At this time, Beveridge was very successful in his work and began Stanley Home Products in Westfield, Massachusetts. popular for their Stanley Home Parties attracting housekeepers looking for quality cleaning supplies.
Stanley Home Products is still around to this very day (although its ownership has since changed hands). Frank Stanley also founded the Frank Stanley Beveridge Foundation in 1947, to both perform charitable works and to further his legacy.
Stanley Park is considered an excellent place for people of all ages and the water park is also a home for enjoyment of the kids. Anyone can visit the park and enjoy the scenic beauty of Stanley Park.

A bit late for spring but this has been in the back of my mind for a few months now and decided it had to be done. Snowdrops photographed on Moncriefffe Hill and printed on cotton. Hand dyed fabrics.
This piece has been used for the cover of n arts brochure in Guildford. No payment unfortunately.
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.
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.

Got off work yesterday and decided to take a few photos around the nursery, that I work part-time. I love springtime. I love all the colors, which is such a change from the drabness of winter. Not that I let this winter slow me down, but I'm taking photos like crazy right now. I have a lot of work to do. Hope Y'all are as excited as I am.
Let me know what you think and have a beautiful day.
Thanks.
