Advenures in Ouzeling - Higger Tor 07052021 - Out before 6:00 this morning, a dusting of snow at Ringinglow and this lovely rainbow as I parked so I grabbed my gear and legged it up the path to get a nice viewpoint - grabbed a couple of shots with the 100-400 but by the time I got my other body with the wide angle it was gone and the visibility started to drop
As so often happens here in my neck of the woods, we are on a tempature rollar coaster. Frosty starts with warm days.
The leaves outlined in frost, proved to hard for me to pass up this morning.

New Wild Geraniums mean that we are about 2/3 of the way through this spring's cycle of woodland flowers.
Happy Friday!
Whether we use the word “mystic” or not, whether we see ourselves as “mystics” or not, whether we see our Christian vocation as a call to sanctity or not, pertains more to how we appropriate the language of spiritual theology. However we express it, much of Christian life is lived beneath the surface. Grace is ordinary even if not “of nature” itself, present in the ordinariness of daily life. In that sense we are all called to a “mystical” or supernatural level of living in the Spirit with Christ.

I was cleaning out unedited files from a folder and organizing them when I realized I really wanted to add some more of these to the album. I don't know about you but usually on a big chase day where you shoot 500 frames I end up with a dozen at best I choose to edit and share. But this was one of those days where the ratio was more like 50% instead of 2%...it was just that good of a day! There aren't many of those in this hobby so why not?!
Anyway, the winter of 2021-2022 didn't yield any plow trains of any sort for me so here is a look back to a spectacular day spent along those magical Washington County rails of a railroad that should need no introduction.
Getting ready to start a day of plowing out the Batten Kill Railroad mainline to Eagle Bridge, SNEX 5012 (an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 blt. 12/59) has been fired up on the Carovail spur where she normally rests with out of service RS3 605 (Alco blt. Nov. 1950 as Lehigh and Hudson River number 10). The cab roofs offer a hint as to how much snow had fallen on the region the prior couple days.

Maplewood flats a wildlife and bird sanctuary, also contains these scale model houses built during the 2010 Olympics. The houses were built to simulate the original squatters shacks that were origianally called Shangra-La that were present for years. The city tore the originals down to put in a shopping mall that never happened The wildlife reserve over 30 acres, is a much more pleasant way to spend the afternoon! Wish I had come with a more wide angle lens for these tiny shacks. I also missed the prime time fall leaves by a storm or two!
Empecemos bien
Por lo que pueda venir, empecemos bien, acicalados y atentos, ya habrá tiempo de afrontar las incertidumbres.

Most of the sky was covered with clouds and the sunrise was trying to peak through a small area just above the Warby Ranges so I was lucky that the colour stayed until I got into the Winton Wetlands and grabbed this image.

Good morning! There's nothing like spending the morning at the lake in Chicago. At this early hour, it feels like you have the entire city to yourself. Enjoy!
