Think I’ll go for a ride
Take the bike out of the shed
Make a fresh start
Get out of my head
When the head spins
There is no joy
...
(The Ride / Luka Bloom)
I think it is interesting how power gets put together on a big old railroad. Somehow, a pair of leasor units have been paired together for the Cedar River Local for the past 2 weeks out of Waterloo. It's pretty neat to see a couple of old ex-Soo Line SD60's paired back together again. Here, the girls sit at the roundhouse at Waterloo over the weekend. The Cedar River doesn't work over the weekend much, so the power will sit for a day or so unless needed on M338 for a kicker unit.
These Soo SD60's were in the 1st 21 units order (6000-6020), which were delivered between between August and October 1987. This bunch was returned leased, and some spent time on the INRD. Now, power short CN has them.

I was using one of those car windshieled sun blockers to reflect a little more light onto the area of my hummingbird feeder when I caught this photo. The funny thing is that, on the relfector screen is a drawing of a Bald Eagle in almost this exact pose going in for a fish. I guess this little guy is thinking of bigger things.

I think young owlets get bored when they're getting ready to fledge. They do get to spend a lot of time looking out at the world they can't quite reach.
Some think the ability to balance things on my head is a special power......

Dont think just about your chance of getting infected.
Imagine that you do have the virus. ...and then change behaviour so that you are less likely to transmit it to others.
This virus needs us to to complacently interact to help it transmit. It needs us to ignore public health messaging. It needs us to not care about others that are more vulnerable than us.
Think social distancing, including children, & protecting older/vulnerable. We are going to be at this for a long time and we need to get good at it.
What happens in London over next few days will be mirrored in rest of UK in the following 14 days. We all have a role to play. ..both what we do and what we say to others.

When you think you've driven too far, keep driving another 50 miles along HWY 71 and you'll come across this old windmill on the western side of the highway. The remoteness of this relic is quite astonishing. I'm sure I'll revisit it many times again looking for that really cool shot, as I feel something is still missing on this canvas ...

Fall colors always make me think of the thanksgiving season and all the reasons we have to be thankful...just as all these leaves, while showing all their beautiful colors in death, they will return in the spring as part of God's perfact plan. We, too, are a part of that perfect plan and should always be thankful for that fact...

WWI recruiting poster. The artist Harry Lawrence Oakley, 1882-1960 (signed bottom right) was a British silhouette artist. He designed posters for the British army while he was a captain with the 8th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment in WWI.
This poster appears in a photo that was taken in Waterford City on 5 January 1915. Wonder how many passers-by paused to consider joining up...

I can't tell ya baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love it falls like rain
Ain't the same
I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul I just can't take another day
Who's to blame
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately
I've been lookin' for the words to say
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
Don't know what you got till it's gone no
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

I think I felt compelled to make this because I've been in such a weird state of mind lately, like.
I've been remembering my dreams a lot more than usual, probably because I've been waking up more than usual (I have this problem where I sleep on top of my arms and they lose feeling so then I wake up and flop around for a while like a fish until they come back online, like at least twice a night...it's kind of painful, actually. It's an issue. Anyways.) It just gets me thinking since I love remembering dreams probably because they're so brief and impossible and kind of meaningless, kind of like life. **wooOooOo*. But really like, I've been developing this thing where I can't justify buying things or eating things if they're not completely necessary (or just really rad. Chocolate cake here's lookin at you kid), because material things are so transient. Like dreams. Full circle, wutt. And I think my mindset's good, in a way, because it's not real wasteful I guess, but at the same time I think there's a certain importance of enjoying those transient things because like, we don't know the point of all this living and shit, so maybe we are meant to enjoy everything that's fleeting and meaningless.
Swear to god I'm not high, I think my brain just always looks like that fried egg in those infomercials about brains on drugs :L
~~The ocean's from Oregon, again; been skulking through them albums lately if it isn't pretty obvious. And if the added me looks familiar then I owe you a big thank you for following me for so long :) it's one of the outtakes from this photo from a while back. This is one of those one-in-a-million moments when my photo-hoarding actually paid off, and I'm loving it so much. Except now this is just reinforcing my belief that I can never ever delete a photo ever, so...not going to think about it.
Sorry for the mind-vomit, as always. But I don't think I am sorry so sorry I'm not sorry. Happy Thirstday. Drank up and all that. Water, a course. Winkz*
Nehh neh, love y'all, be safe, be tru, be u <3
#2 in the series of confessions. Soon, I might actually confess something no one knows. I'll think about it. haha
"When I first saw you
I knew that I'd never forget
This moment in time
Justa smile and you took away my heart
I never knew that my life would change
I never knew that I'd feel this way
Baby, believed me I'm right
Won't try to fight
This feelings inside I can't hide
I think I love You
This I am sure
Coz I miss you
Each time that you go
The things in my heart
The things that i say
are things that are true all the way
I've fallen for you
I'll never let go
Coz I need you
You're the light in my sorrow
THe things in my heart
The things that i say
are things that are true all the way
I love you
The days passed, I woke up
my heart, shot by an arrow
I go on my way
The sun shining everyday
Like, there's no tomorrow
I promise with you I will stay
If you tell me you'd be with me too
say yah do
we're meant for each other
I always believe that we do
the way my world brightens
whenever you're with me I know..."
I think the bugs have been ironed out of my photo editing process so now I can get back to posting and commenting!
I think this is an Oak Egger moth seen at Forvie NNR in Aberdeenshire.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lasiocampa quercus, the Oak Eggar, is a common moth of the family Lasiocampidae found in Europe, including Britain and Ireland. It feeds on a variety of plant species (mainly heather and bilberry), and may develop over two years in higher latitudes, where it may be known as the Northern eggar. Its suffix quercus refers to the fact that its cocoon generally resembles an acorn, not that its primary food source is oak.
I think this is stunning architecture! The station was designed by the architect John McAslan + Partners, and the renovation of the station, which to their credit, was completed in 2005, was done on schedule.
To read more about the remarkable redesign of the station, see the Arch Daily article posted online at www.archdaily.com/219082/kings-cross-station-john-mcaslan....

This was so long ago! I think that not being happy with the first set of cheerleader pictures and lighting I again skipped school to try again. This time with my own pantyhose (I didn't shave my legs back then for fear of what people would think). I was 16 or 17 years old at the time. Now I no, nobody cares if guys shave their legs. If only I knew that then!
For those who don't know how I did it:
Back in these days before high quality digital cameras I would develop film myself after regular class hours in photography / graphic arts room at school. I would only take a couple of pictures at the end of a roll of film so I could quickly cut those off and if anyone wanted to see the negatives of what I was shooting it would look like I just didn't shoot the whole roll ;-)
Please don’t favorite without leaving a comment about why you like the photo.
I think that Bluethroat is Europe's most beautiful songbird. The throat looks colourful enough to be a Christmas tree decoration and the copper triangles on its tail sides are exquisite. Its scientific name Luscinia svecica translates as Swedish Nightingale and it was in northern Sweden where I photographed this stunning male. There are two main races of Bluethroat in Europe. The white spotted race (cyanecula) has a white spot in its blue throat and breeds mainly in reedbeds in central and southern Europe. But this is the red-spotted race (nominate svecica) which breeds in birch and willow scrub in Northern Europe. There are also a few pockets of birds with a solid blue throat. The song is amazing too, with mimicry of other bird songs repeated three or four times. This singing male was perched on top of a Juniper bush.
Chatting one day at Watendlath with a New Zealand professor of Geology he said that on his beginners course on glaciation the examples he used were all taken from the Watendlath valley, coming from New Zealand I found this amazing.
Interesting place name Watendlath. Norse in origin and perhaps references the agricultural practices of the tenth century residents. "The barn at the end of the lake". Implies a form of transhumance farming. Transhumance from the Latin, across the ground, in agricultural terms moving from summer to winter pastures - think Heidi.
Walking around the tarn the pollarded Ash trees are ancient and the boundary walls to the fields are in some cases not the eighteenth century enclosure walls but the original massive walls formed when the fields were first cleared of stones for planting perhaps over a thousand years old, hard to date a stone wall!!
Watendlath is a landscape that merits some serious pondering.

My first reasonable attempt using an adjustable stopper. I don't think the adjustable stoppers are great. They tend to lose a little quality in your image.
I think dad may have been shooting two different cameras here for this shot, and hopefully I will come across a better shot when I start digitizing his medium format slides!
Here we see the WP 920-D with a "High Line" train from the BN departing Oroville in some very nice low afternoon sunlight, probably around 1971 timeframe.

I think this is "Rabbit's foot clover" (Trifolium arvense) but I am not sure.
We were walking along a very busy highway today, seeing what was growing in the ditches, and there were carpets of this stuff growing. From a distance, it's just a grey dusty thing but, close up, it's lovely.
You only see about 10% of these monsters. Daunting to think that 90% more is below the surface, and my math is correct
The Pink Ribbon is the international symbol of hope for women with breast cancer.
Pink Ribbon has chosen Rachael Chatoor's "Standing All The Way" as the Pink Ribbon song of 2008. Rachael composed the song as a token of support for survivors and for people who have moved on, yet lived strong and well and full of love, life, and hope, while fighting cancer of any kind.
