One thing I fondly remember of him was he is
an attention seeker. He doesn't stop pawing me
until he gets the attention. He would sometimes stand up
touch my shoulders ( when I'm seated down ) if he would not get attention pawing me leg. If I stay much longer through the
night , he normally stays with me. If on my laptop. he stays / sits beside my laptop or even wants between me and my laptop, which can be annoying but sweet, just attention seeking.He often try to lay his little head on my arm like a pillow whilst I'm typing. If I stay much longer til the morning, there my cat stays with me. I go to bed , he goes to bed. He sleeps at the furniture near me or down the bottom on my bed, by my feet.
I missed him a lot. One reassuring thought, he picked me well to adopt him . He was given love and care in the years being with us . I cooked him fresh cat food and his chicken fav. I was his bedding . I was also his chef :) I missed my fur bag friend so much, he is a lovely soul. It was the end of him, but it's not the end to nothingness. Sometime in the future , when everything will be renewed, I will see him again.

I meant to upload today but I always get this messages of "retry" a hundred times . An ongoing flickr upload problem left for many days. This has been a problem for weeks to some people, but flickr haven't done to fixed to fix it .
If you have this experience out there, you're not alone.
Metroline VP345 (LR52BOU) & VP332 (LR52BNJ) arrive in convoy at Harrow Town Centre heading towards Harrow Weald on the 182, whilst VP323 (LR52BMU) heads away to Brent Cross.
Throwback to a time long ago when the B7 VPs were dominant in Harrow on the 140, 182, 640 & H12. In the space of two years only three VPs remain in use, that being VP614, 620 & 628, now sadly all to be withdrawn imminently following the loss of the H12 to London Sovereign on 01-Sept.
Matthiessen State Park in LaSalle County in the far western suburbs of Chicago, about two years ago.
It was a beautiful summer day in Holland this sunday. Brings back good memories of the summer vibe at Guadeloupe. :-)
Throwback Thursday: one of my earlier attempts at night photography, 2015, when the night bug was starting to hit me hard, lol. It’s interesting to see the changes in techniques and, more importantly, changes in my own personal taste and aesthetics over time. The details are somewhat obscure because I was using a Nikon 14-24 mm lens on a Canon camera, but I think this was done at 14 mm, f2.8, 30 sec, ISO 6400. This is also an early use of Low Level Lightning.
One from what feels like a millennia ago, well, 2014 :) I spent 90 minutes in the freezing cold Lake Wanaka with leaky waders, seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this is one of the shots captured on that fortunate night.
To remember a time when sitting on a tree wasn't so offensive...

Some younger or newer W&LE fans seeing this will have a hard time believing that you used to be able to see across the field from Gambrinus yard to the main. Now the main is a narrow trough through a forest. This is a southbound train bypassing the yard bound for Brewster in October 1984 several years before this was all sold to the W&LE. The observant will see the roundhouse still in place off to the far left.
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Guilford has gotten some fame as one of the last holdouts for GP9s in the northeast, with most of the local jobs around Waterville being covered by a pair of them. Fast forward fifteen years, and most of them have been retired, but somehow, three have somehow managed to stick around, and two have even been painted in heritage colors. Two of the three survivors, Boston & Maine painted 77, and Guilford painted 72, haul SAPPI-3 west along the Kennebec River, filling the hillsides with the sweet music of their 567 engines.

Another throwback to the ol' gallery. This was the time I got all my friends (Some were more acquaintances) to fit on the double-decker couch.
It's a bit of a reminder of all the friends I had then. Unfortunately a lot of them are gone now... So, here's hoping I'll be making some friends here! :D
These two F7s resting in Ranlo, NC in the Lehigh Valley scheme were purchased by the P&N to lead the annual Santa Train, but ultimately were determined to be unususable and were sent away. These units were originally built for the Chicago & N'western in 1949.
For Throwback Thursday.
My father's friend, Eddie VanVaulkenburg. He couldn't read or write, except to sign his name but as a hobby, built homemade tractors. He didn't simply modify old trucks to create a "doodlebug" or makeshift tractor. He actually built these totally from scratch and his own design. This is one of his early ones and I wish I had some pictures of his later ones which were hard to distinguish from factory made machines. He worked as a janitor and night watchman at the tool and die machine shop where my father worked and they allowed him to build these there in his off time.
I haven't been able to get trackside recently with my busy month at work, so here's one from the archives. A YN1 road slug leads a rail train through Blue Island Junction back in July of 2005.
Let's rewind the clock to 2008 and head back to the Midwest. A pair of ex-Conrail motors heads up a Gibson-bound autorack train on the IHB. Grasselli Tower was preserved and moved to the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum in 2009.
One year ago, I snapped this shot of a foraging Zebra Dove at a beach in Kauai. I didn't realize how cool the composition was until now. The low-angle shot and the grass blades framing the zebra finch, all made me feel as if I were foraging with that Zebra Dove.
Looking back in my camera roll also made me realize how much I improved. Many of my photos then were overexposed and out of focus. Also, why did I need to take 50 photos of the same plant? This makes me proud when I say my current camera roll is so much cleaner.
With the throttle jammed over to the left, DME 6366 and friends offer quite the show as they twist up Stockton Hill on another sunny day a few years ago. 4/4/2015.
..to a couple months ago. Forgot to post this neat consist that was on the point of a LINGAL manifest, caught in Burlington, Ia.

Tay và môi anh sao lạnh ?
Mắt và tình anh sao buồn ?!
Tôi chập chờn trong cơn chớm ngủ với ý nghĩ kì lạ đó .
Con người đó có một thân nhiệt thật kì lạ .…
A throwback of the main hall/ballroom of quite a famous derelict asylum in the north of the UK. Much of the site has now been redeveloped into a housing estate and the hospitals main hall and admin/services are now receiving some much needed attention in the way of renovation. It's good to see such grand and historical buildings retained and put to new use : )
Throwback Thursday to those hot Summer, halcyon days in Amsterdam. While we were there, we had the opportunity to experience a local record-breaking heatwave. The mercury hit 42°C for a couple of days straight. This week we have the polar opposite, where temperatures are barely going above -15°C during the daytime.
