Sometimes the camera picks up more than our eyes. I only noticed this tiny spider web filament attached to the water droplet in post editing...bonus.
Photographed in Owen Sound, Ontario.

There were some interesting clouds yesterday afternoon, so despite the piercing cold it was worth waiting for an hour or so to see if it was going to colour up. The best clouds were before the pinks arrived. Crazy little Thing is a Captain Beefheart favourite. I love these skies with different types and layers of clouds. It's a grey day today so I should probably think of doing some artwork.

Anybody remember the New Coke failure in 1985? However, the New Flickr isn't the real thing for me anymore... I came here yesterday after having a break of a few weeks and was paralized from shock! It hurts to view my own stream, not to mention the ineffable front page. But what's most abhorrend to me is the business model behind all this "spectaculr" action. I feel like having another long, long break...

So you wanna be a boxer
In the golden ring
Can you punch like a south-bound freight train
Tell me just one thing
Can you move in a word like a humming bird's wing
If you need to (That's fast)
Can you bob, can you weave
Can you fake, and deceive when you need to?
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
Tragedy, sadness, loneliness and despair taught me that life is really a beautiful thing; if it wasn't I wouldn't be able to recognize that anything was wrong...

One thing that albatrosses are very good at is dynamic soaring. They are so good at getting lift from the wind and wind that comes off the ocean swells that, on average, they use less energy flying than swimming on the ocean's surface. They also follow a distinct pattern when foraging, a sort of 3-D 'S'. They come down low after completing a big curve, swoop down to catch the wind off the waves and rise up to do another big curve. This is repeated over and over and over. Here is a link that describes it: www.whoi.edu/multimedia/albatross-flight-dynamics/.
My image was taken while at sea, with the albatross flying close to the boat as it followed its flight pattern. It passed by about 10 times and then went off in a different direction to continue foraging. BTW, this species of albatross will occasionally sit on the water whereas other species tend to do it less often.
I was thinking about the Swamp Thing, a humanoid/plant elemental creature popular in the DC superhero line-up. Then I decided it was too terrifying. I was left with a scene from his home.
Location: the swamps of my mind.
Image created in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio 2.0 and Lightroom Classic.
Born a year before the BN-SF merger, I've never experienced true Burlington Northern. The pieces of former BN equipment I've seen have all been patched or repainted for the most part. I suppose the nearly untouched cascade green caboose on the Cody local, coupled behind a BN covered hopper with minimal graffiti will have to do...

I have two Coopers Hawks that are hunting in my yard and they are here every day. This one is on my fence and he is watching a squirrel on the bird feeder.
First thing I made after the dark age. Time to scrub off the rust behind my ears. And, apparently, the scratches on my tiles.
I'm clearly not OCD enough. I didn't make sure that every one of those black triangles around the edge have the side with the dot pointing upwards.

Right before sunrise, a BNSF intermodal curves along the Needles Sub as it approaches Siberia. I climbed this hill with a somewhat different shot in mind, and as I walked past this composition the thought came into my head that if a train showed up before the sun rose, this shot was probably the best I could do. I couldn't see any trains coming out of Amboy, so unless one was hiding at Bagdad which I couldn't see, there were no trains out there. I continued up the hill, but 30 seconds later I was shocked to see a train appear, coming out of Bagdad. I returned to the prior composition and bagged the shot. It wasn't until I got home that I realized I'd taken one of my all time favorite photos.
This photo feels somewhat transformational to me and my approach to photography. It was a result of a completely spontaneous overnight train trip. In recent years, I could always talk myself out of going trackside. Rather than my normal square peg in a round hole approach to photography I was flexible and honest with myself, choosing this shot (which I had previously not known existed) over other shots I've dreamed to for this area that honestly just don't work. But this one does. The most transformational thing may be that I'm finally feeling a little motivation and excitement about photographing trains locally again. If this photograph is an omen of things to come, 2025 could have a lot of great shots in it

You stole my heart, we had a summer fling
And I told my heart it was just a summer thing
But you made me fall in the winter
Bloom in the spring
From June 'till December
It was you and me
And I told my heart it was just a summer thing
...
I will always remember the summer
The summer thing
