Substituting soft toys to try to make up for him not having litter-mates. He is a "big-boy" now, and has no more interest in his bottle! 😊
This Photo was taken earlier this year as this first year Roseate Spoonbill began to land right in front of me!! First year Spoonbills do not have the bright colors of the full adult. You can also see the black tips on the which, wish is another giveway that it is a young bird! Thanks for looking and the comments!! Kevan and Linda

I was planning on doing a nice series on the attractive purple peninsulas of pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata) which occur around the lake, and set off in the canoe to do precisely that on a beautiful, sunny Saturday in the northwoods. Unfortunately, the winds kicked up after I departed, creating not only a bad day for photos of anything from the canoe, but also a bad day to be 66 years old as the breezes tested my mettle. (I'm not sure what a "mettle" is, but I am sure it was tested and hope it's not sore tomorrow.)
Thus you will have to make do with this spotted knapweed (Centaurea biebersteinii) which is not only also purple, but has the added peculiar distinction of apparently being named for Justin Bieber. Or perhaps the latter was named for the former. Either way, I would consider both highly invasive in their own right, and tho Justin would no doubt strongly disagree, I find the weed far prettier and recommend a taxonomical redo.
Some fake sugar for my tea this afternoon. Hit the spot after spending the morning out in the cold looking for a landscape shot.
It is always nice catching the Union Yard/Midway Yard job when the usual 1824/1896 pair has gone to Northtown for refueling or inspection, etc., as the replacement power always seems to be something different. Back in mid-December it was an SD40-2R/SD75M combo that had the honors as they pulled a cut out of Union and headed over to Midway. Seeing one of the ex-ATSF ex-SD45-2s that are captive to Northtown is fun too. BNSF 1571 (ATSF 5702) was one of the five SD45-2s back in the day to wear the bicentennial scheme for a couple of years.
Goldfinches are in full bright yellow plumage now. I got out the camera to photograph them when this guy showed up. The finches can wait.

Approaching Tunnel 1, the Rio Grande Ski Train marches up the Moffat Tunnel Subdivision east of Plainview, Colorado, on the morning of January 7, 2001. Pinch-hitting for ailing F40PH No. 242 on today’s train is Rio Grande GP40-2 No. 3105.
Sunday's Bay Street Shuttle climbs up the grade at Glen Ridge with GP40PH-2B 4212 leading. Normally the shuttle hosts Arrow III equipment, but due to an outage a GP40 was used for the weekend.
I went to the garden center for wasp spray...couldn't find any, so came home with a selection of potted flowers instead...much better way to spend the money...I love the color on the pure white petals of this miniature carnation..as it matures, the color becomes more intense
D8107 (20107) makes for an incongruous sight, heading away from Long Preston with the 10.35 Appleby - Skipton on Wed 12th August 2020.
While #815 was on it's 92-day inspection back in February, former SP GP60 #1107 briefly filled in on the UP YPR60. With four cars from Blommer, the 60A rolls across Tower A2 interlocking, one of the last holdouts of CNW-style GRS searchlights in the Midwest.
A spiffy rebuilt Southern Pacific SD45T-2R subs for a failed Amtrak engine as it leads the California Zephyr on the D&RGW through the Red Narrows of Spanish Fork Canyon on May 20, 1989.
A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.
Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.
Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)
In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.
While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.
Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.
Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)
Two VIA Rail trains are at Brockville, Ontario on this day with no VIA power to lead. A Canadian National MLW RS-18 has varnish on the mainline while an EMD GP-9 hols on the lead to Smith Falls and Ottawa. I remember some sort of connecting trains that would make moves here. These might have been it. I believe a small engine house or facility was here to house the Ottawa power. These Ottawa trains eventually were LRC strongholds that came straight from Toronto.
As the IHB sees a sudden surge in traffic, two former NS GP38-2s are filling in at Gibson building autorack trains. IHB 5627 is seen here hard at work on the West end.

If you had to put a freight engine as a substitute on a passenger train, I doubt you could do much better than this. Rio Grande GP30 No. 3002, built by EMD for the D&RGW in April 1962, brings train No 18 to a stop to load passengers in Provo, Utah the morning of May 18, 1979.
I moved them to my dark coffee table for a better background..This is my morning sun, since we received more snow last night...HAPPY EASTER everyone!!!! on explore march 23, #334
From around Christmas 2025, with a few days here and there as exceptions, JR Freight Train #75 has been utilizing an EF65 electric as standard power in place of their normal EF210.
Train 75 is an intermodal shuttle, operating 6 days a week during the midday between Tokyo Terminal and Sumida Terminal via JR's Nambu, Musashino and Joban Lines. No concrete reason for the change was given but considering these boxcabs have been used only as needed since 2024, many local railfans have eagerly welcomed shooting this JNR era classic once again on a daily basis.

Yes, I was watching "Mythbusters"
This Empire Builder left CHI with Charger 300 leading and this OLS unit trailing. Due to a malfunction, they were swapped out on the east side of Whitefish, Montana. Here, the train has finally made it into Whitefish depot and is doing it’s station work. I hope Amtrak purchased the extended warranty package on those Chargers?!
