Starting to get things dialed in a little around 2001, after quite a few years of hits and misses. This hairstyle was certainly a leap of faith after years of "big hair".
I"ve always appreciated the sight of a beautiful well-dressed woman entering or exiting a vehicle, as evidenced by my many attempts at this spectacle over the years, LOL.
At Momence, Illinois, a northbound C&EI train with 2-8-2 #1926 comes through "MJ" interlocking (if it was still interlocked at this time) with C&EI at Momence with 2-8-0 #941 switching in the siding. Track towards the far left was the CA&S and the switch to the right is towards the south elevator. Photograph was taken near the south bank of the Kankakee River, looking southeasterly. Photographer is unknown. Marked "C&EI 1940, Momence"

The crowds tend to come to airshows for the headlining jet teams - Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows, etc. For me, the big draw to the Harrisburg show was the recently repainted Viper Demo Team F-16, sporting the 50th anniversary prototype scheme.
The General Dynamics YF-16 first flew in 1974, with the fighter jet entering service in 1978. It's been around as long as I have, and as a kid I played with many a toy F-16 sporting that bicentennial-inspired paint scheme. To see one flying was a fun nugget of nostalgia, and the aerobatics put on by Capt. Taylor “FEMA” Hiester, the F-16 Viper Demonstration Team commander and pilot, was outstanding.
This week we are throwing back to 2007 and AX 627 on route 128.
This route was relatively new at the time, starting a month earlier, on the 11th November. The 128 operated from Palmertson Park in Dartry / Rathmines to Clongriffin. The route had a relatively short life as it ceased on the 17th December 2011. It was replaced on the northside by an extended route 15, and on the southside by route 140. The bus is displaying the incorrect destination of "Baldoyle Station", instead of Cloingriffin. Between 1844 and 1848 there was a Baldoyle Station, but the 128 actually terminated at Clongriffin Station. However this didn't open until 2010, and Baldoyle Station had been the original proposed name for this station. The correct destination for the route, and the one used for the vast majority of the time was "Clongriffin".
AX 627 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It is one of the few AX Class buses still in service in late 2021. Eden Quay, 18/12/2007
This week we are going back a mere five years to 2018 and Dublin Bus WS 2 at the bus terminus in Dundrum. The bus is seen prior to departing for Glencullen on route 44B. This route started operating between Glencullen and Dublin city centre in 1953. In 2001 some short workings were introduced so every service did not go all the way into the city, with some terminating at Dundrum, Eglinton Road, Sandyford, Ranelagh, Kilcross and Dundrum. In 2009 the route was rationalised further, with only the Dundrum to Glencullen part kept, with a few services in the morning and a few in the afternoon, weekdays only.
As the route makes its way up part of the Dublin mountains, only single-deckers can be used on it. In recent years it has been the last outpost for single-deckers within the fleet of Dublin Bus. Up until December 2017 three WV Class buses outlived the other members of the fleet to operate the 44B (though they also popped up on the 59 and 111 as only one bus is needed to operate the 44B). However, as they were sixteen years old at that time, they needed replacement. Dublin Bus purchased two StreetLites from Wrightbus, WS 1 and WS 2. These were the short-wheelbase version of this type. Bus Eireann operated the mid and full length version (WM and WL classes) and Go-Ahead Ireland also received 40 full-length versions to operate the orbital routes in and around Dublin (It is unknown why the 44B was not included with the tender for the orbital routes that Go-Ahead Ireland won). The WS Class entered service in December 2017 and in 2021 they were repainted in the new TFI green / yellow livery. Although bought for the 44B, they have turned up on other routes occasionally. For a period before Covid-19, one was a regular performer on the 61 in the morning, which brought the Dublin Bus single-decker into the city centre.

From a recent photoshoot but still a throwback and great memories…… looking forward to being me again and feeling wonderful. ❤️
Throwing it back quite a few years to one of the very first glamour shoots done by our Mexico City team with Alidia! In this mega gallery throwback Alidia has a good deal of fun showing off the blond hairs on her arms.

This little red dress has been hiding in the back of my closet for a number of years ...thirteen apparently. Below is a shot showing just how long it's been. Try not to laugh too hard at the big hair!
What a difference fifteen years makes. This evening dress was one of my first attempts at being a "glamour girl" back in 2003.
It did not fit well then, and needless to say it never fit any better...I don't think I could even zip it up.
Fast forward to 2018 and I find myself with a somewhat different body after changes I had to make from congestive heart failure in January. The dress is still a little small, but hey I can at least zip it up! I never figured this dress would see the light of day again.
I had a long way to go back then, a lot to learn, but the journey has been rewarding. I'd like to think I present a little more polished and sophisticated woman these days, LOL.

This week is a short hop back eight years to 2015 and to VG 17 on O'Connell Street. The bus is operating a service on route 140. This route started running in February 2008, initially between St. Margaret's Road in Finglas and Wilton Terrace. Whereas the traditional 40 routes went via the estates of Finglas and Drumcondra, the 140 went via the Finglas Road and Phibsboro, providing a more direct and quicker service. In October 2009 it was extended at its northern end to the new IKEA store. Under Network Direct in December 2011, it replaced the southside part of route 128, with its terminus being moved to Palmerston Park in Rathmines.
Like route 140, VG 17 was also new to Dublin Bus in 2008. It is still in service today.
The bus has an ad on its side for the fifth Mission : Impossible film, Rogue Nation. Currently the seventh film in the series is being shown in cinemas, Dead Reckoning Part One.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1986 and KD 38 at the terminus for route 3 in Larkhill. This route started as a bus route in 1940, running from Larkhill to Sandymount Tower. In 1972 it was extended to St. John's Church at the southern end, and in 1990 certain departures were extended further to UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012. Under Network Direct it was replaced on the southside by new route 1, and on the northside by an extended route 44.
KD 38 was new to CIE in 1981. It was withdrawn and scrapped between 1994 and 1996.
It is worth noting the bus is showing "Whitehall" as a destination, rather than the more common "Larkhill". 30/03/1986

Not quite the iconic 962 but still nice to see it.
Third and final testing session to make sure I have my kit dialed-in for the season ahead.
I'm sure I'll be making some additional minor tweaks and such along the way but upon review of last year, I've worked-out some kinks and issues I was having in setup and technique.

Going back eleven years this week to RV 551 at the route 123 terminus in Marino. At this time the route was predominately operated by the single-deck midibuses of the WV Class, although the RV double deckers made occasional appearances on the route. However, that was all about to change when this picture was taken. Behind the RV are two members of the EV Class. They had started to transfer into Summerhill Garage during this week, and within a few days had completely taken over the 123, replacing the WV Class. The EV buses remained on this route until Autumn 2021 when the new hybrid buses of PA Class took over.
Route 123 started in the early 1990s when it started as a City Imp route replacing the former routes 23 and 24. It operated from Marino to Drimnagh via Ballybough and St James's Hospital. In more recent times it has had its southern terminus moved from Drimnagh Road to Kilnamanagh Road.
RV 551 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in May 2012 and moved to the United Kingdom where it had a further career with other operators. 05/11/2010
Throwback to December of 2019, just a couple weeks (at most) after the CP Veterans units were unveiled. CP 7020 (Army Temperate Regions) leads CP 199 through Brookfield, Wi in a heavy snowfall. I couldn’t edit back then, but now that I’ve figured it out I’ve been able to make this presentable.

Good morning everyone. Since the first day of 2015 is on Thursday I thought I would do something a bit different for today with it being the New Years Holiday. Be a while before that happens again....being New Years falls on a Thursday. And before I get into the above pic I would like to wish everyone a most Happy & Prosperous 2015. I'd also like to thank one and all for your kind support here on flickr, which has warmed my heart over the years.
As for the above photo...it's the oldest scanned photo I have of yours truly on file on the computer. It's one of the very first pics hubbie took of me with an inexpensive Kodak film camera at the time that belonged to his parents. It was taken in January of 1964 at my in-laws house. 51 years ago...or put another way, over a half century ago.
While we remember it was taken in January, 1964, we can't remember if it was just before or shortly after we got married that month. Old age thing. Either way, I'm all of 20 years old here going on 21 in 64. I know...hard to believe I'm that old.
As a side note...the chair you see me sitting on is one of the many things we kept when my in-laws passed away. It currently resides in our livingroom as it did theirs. As for the dress...it's long gone, although I still have the Jade necklace. A gift from hubbie.
Thank you for stopping by...and once again I hope everyone has a truly great New Year...and happy shooting in 2015.

This week we are going back eight years to 2014 and Dublin Bus GT 39 at Sutton Station. This bus is waiting to depart with a service on route 102 to Dublin Airport. This route started operating in 1986 between Malahide and Sutton. It was one of the new DART Feeder services introduced around that time to connect people with the new suburban rail service. In 2008 it was extended from Malahide to Dublin Airport when it merged with route 230. Then in December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over operation of the route.
GT 39 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2012. It was part of the first batch of GT Class buses delivered to Dublin Bus, the first type of bus since 1999 to be delivered with front and middle doors. In total 160 of these buses were delivered to Dublin Bus, but 12 subsequently transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 39 was not one of them.

I decided a few frames needed to be exposed when this guy rounded the curve at B12. Led by a Norfolk Southern GP59 and a high nose GP38-2, a trio of mixed SD40-2s rounded out this consist passing under the signals Franklin Park.
The P5 air horn up top sounded impressive, and was even more so after it passed and the sound increased as this motor is still set up for long hood first operation, as the horn faces the rear of the locomotive.
Pure Old School.
It is 2013 and the 41X is a busy little bus route. DT 6 and GT 45 are seen on D'Olier Street, both with a 41X to UCD Belfield. The 41X is one of a number of Xpresso routes operated by Dublin Bus. These routes operate in the peak hours only (mostly) and have limited stops. They are designed to be faster versions of the regular routes that serve the same areas. The one version that sort of goes beyond the peak hour limitation is the 84X to Newcastle. The 41X connects Swords with the City Centre and UCD Belfield. For a lot of its journey to the city centre it uses the M1 and Dublin Port Tunnel. That latter routing caused some controversy earlier this century when private operator Swords Express objected to Dublin Bus using the tunnel, but that was later resolved. In more recent times the 41X has been extended beyond Swords Manor to the new housing development at Knocksedan.
Although GT 45 is still with Dublin Bus, DT 6 was withdrawn in 2017 along with the rest of the Dennis Tridents. 17/01/2013
These two particular dolls really changed my perception of the Barbie brand. I was happy to see them readily available year after year until Raquelle was nowhere to be found in the US for the "Style" line only to be released elsewhere and to finally come back twice unfortunately with poorly printed eyes. She has yet to appear back with this gorgeous face. Ryan on the other hand had his sculpt completely redone and never returned. Mattel please bring them back... just the way they used to be!
Here's to hoping we get them in collectible sized heads in any upcoming lines whether it be "The Look" or not even in collectible size heads, just back in "Fashionistas." I would get excited just to see them back in some form be it a picture in the Barbiestyle Instagram account. What do you guys think? Which Raquelle and Ryan are your favorite releases?
A hazy late August day in 2006 finds train Q283 led by a trio of EMDs and only a small block of autos passing over the detector at QB135 in Becket, MA.
#Machines have changed our lives dramatically over the last couple of hundred years. Nowadays, a swipe on a screen can automatically do the hard work that previous generations toiled at for days. That's the reason we see so many photos from the past of proud men and woman standing in front of their new acquirements - be it a tractor, washing machine, or printer ...
This week we want to celebrate all this progress and take a look at the machines that have improved our lives so dramatically. Share your #Machines photo with us for #TBT by uploading it to your Flickr account and sharing the URL in the comment section of our Facebook or Twitter posts. We will curate our favorites and show them in the Flickr blog next week.

A throwback to the first close-ups I took from a boat, of the white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) where I'm from nine years ago. I took them together with eagle tour guide Ole Stokke.
I was mostly used to seeing them from a distance, and I remember the excitement of getting them this close. Later, there have been many more trips through the years to meet them.
