Abflug der Graugans im Schilfgürtel vom Naturschutzgebiet Spiessgraben bei Worms.
Departure of the greylag goose in the reed belt of the Spiessgraben nature reserve near Worms.
With the temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, 66743 pulls forward from the loaders with the 6S45 0908 North Blyth to Fort William loaded aluminia. In the summer months this locomotive is usually allocated to Royal Scotsman duties but during the winter rather less glamorous, but much more interesting, work is undertaken.

I went to see Duke of Burgundy [Hamearis lucina] today and was lucky enough to find three mating pairs. The first were settled on dead Bracken and it was difficult to get an attractive shot.
A view in Saint Paul I have somehow have never shot is here at Snelling Avenue. Why? I suppose I just have not made the effort or had something work out. So, while out near Hamline University I saw this intermodal train split and start to reverse into the Port of Saint Paul. I promptly hustled over to the bridge and grabbed several frames. This bridge really does offer an interesting perspective looking west across the Port and over toward downtown Minneapolis. I had overlooked this photo spot for too long.
Saturday Self Challenge: Start
I found this quite a tricky topic, and the best I could come up with was the cup of hot water with a slice of lemon in it, that I start each day with.......(followed a while later by coffee!).
“In autunno tutto ci ricorda il crepuscolo - e tuttavia, mi sembra la stagione più bella; volesse il cielo allora, quando io vivrò il mio crepuscolo, che ci fosse qualcuno che mi ami come io ho amato l'autunno.”
Soren Kierkegaard
Io ho un mio personale segnale per capire quando sta arrivando veramente l'autunno: gli alberi dietro casa iniziano a colorare di rosso le foglie che escono dal tronco... e da li, entro una settimana, è tutto pronto.
Buon lunedi, d'autunno :)
All you need to start the week is coffee and the person you love right next to you
Have an amazing week, everybody!!

Had the '57 out and running back in early March. I'm about to get it out and actually drive it very soon.
This past Sunday started as a very foggy sort of a day and after our disappointment of Airlie we headed into the Virginia countryside. This is the heart of Virginia horse country and there are many stately homes with impressive gates to lock the world out. This is one of them. And this was not even the front entrance! I'm including a second one in the first comment box that I think is fantastic too and very romantic! That's putting your love in stone! LOL
it's been a while.
so, I made a post apocalyptic-y look.

Before you start splashing colors when styling an outfit, it's important to first visualize the concept of your fashion statement. Just like a painter who starts with a sketch, you should first have a clear picture of your composition insofar as what attire best fits the occasion and then the colors that fits your mood.
The [BEAUTY STYLE] DANIELA Set Fatpack HUD contains a host of colors and patterns that inspire. For its top, you can select a blend of bright and bold solid colors, soft pastels, or choices of stripes and patterns that best fit your mood. A consistent color scheme ties your pieces together. This collection also includes a splendid array of color choices for the straps, buttons, belt, and jeans.
This DANIELA Outfit fits Kupra, Legacy (+ Perky), Maitreya (+ Petite). and Reborn mesh bodies.
The [BEAUTY STYLE] DANIELA Outfit is exclusively available at this month's Swank Winter Wonderland December Event.

All my life
I thought it'd be hard to find
The one 'til I found you
And I find it bittersweet
'Cause you gave me something to lose
But when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do.

I chatted to this dad and his son later, they were very excited to have seen their first ever Short Eared Owl.
Taken in Cambridgeshire.
The start of Christmas Day was a frosty one.
This week will be a bit hectic for us so hopefully I will get to see all of your images as quick as I can. In the meantime, I will thank you now in advance for having a peak at my image here.
“Just start off and then the adventure carries your way. “ Anonymous. The season is fast approaching for the warblers and other neat birds to return. I have been working a lot to save up a few loonies for our next road trips coming up soon and I am excited for our next adventures. Meanwhile, here is another set of images from last spring. It was a treat to watch a pair of Avocets wading about in a field in Saskatchewan. We don’t see these birds in our area. I shall catch up with all of you soon again.
CSXT Framingham based local L004 has been on duty more than three hours and is just now starting north. They are technically still inside the Framingham Yard limits as they trundle northbound on the Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU35.6. The entirety of the branch is designated as Other Than Main Track with this local operating at Restricted Speed but not exceeding 10 MPH the whole way making for an agonizingly long round trip.
The two ex Chessie GP40-2s are crossing the short deck girder bridge over the Foss Reservoir/Sudbury River with a big train of more than 30 cars. Have you ever driven the Mass Pike in the Framingham area and looked over your shoulder to the south and seen a grafitti covered bridge and wondered what train crosses it? Well now you know, because the eastbound lanes of I90 are just 100 or so ft to the left of the train. a
This trackage dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, then ultimately came into the fold of the New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell, was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into what otherwise was the exclusive domain of the Boston and Maine. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary which ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster a few years ago supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Nucor, and Bestway Lumber.
