As I took this photo from this shed an old man on bicycle stopped next to me. I heavy local dialect he asked me what I was taking photos of.
I told him of the shed, because I like it and because it has the same roof tiles as my house. I told him my house was built in 1933 and I wondered how old the shed might be.
He said: "Well, I can tell you, because my father built it in 1922." Pretty good timing to get the info you want right away!

Day 2 of 2025 saw sun and clouds. When this train to Gent passed me, I saw mostly clouds. It wasn't as bad as a few hundred meters more towards Lokeren. There, sun and rain added some spectacle to the photo.
Timing is everything, as a few minutes earlier the foreground scene was also lit by the sun. And a few minutes after this shot, I had to run and seek shelter for the rain.
Thomas and I spent Saturday on the Moosehead Sub of CMQ. Starting at Holeb with Job 2 in the morning and ending with Job 1 working west, there are few opportunities but worth the trip anyhow. After waiting at Onawa for a while and not hearing them get paper, we decided to head out to clear some brush. It wasn't two minutes into our walk in that we heard the K3L echoing from the approach for the trestle. We booked it out to get our cameras, and split up between Greenwood and Bodfish. I got quite a workout hustling into Little Greenwood (not the best choice for a last minute go-to), just to find out that Jimmy had stopped the train near the camp crossing to fire up the 3810. With 61 cars in tow they made a hell of a sound grinding up the grade through here.
Perfect timing 😊 - I was fortunate to spot this female King Parrot on my daily walk this afternoon.
Just right for this week's Smile on Saturday!:-)
The theme is "Green Animals" - HSoS! 💚

Its Spring, so that means air shows on the way. Here's a shot of the amazing Brietling team in Portland last summer.
Timing is everything. I was able to catch CSX K445-20 on my way into work this morning making for a great start to the day. CN C40-8M #2427 & C44-9W #2549 brings the loaded ethanol train across the Chattahoochee River just before 9am as it enters Atlanta city limits.
Georgia Power's Plant McDonough-Atkinson is seen in the background.
Timing and weather patterns play a big part in this " pastime" of ours, a narrow window of opportunity with some weather was forecasted for the more northerly part of the Cumbrian Coast, dropping down over Corney Fell the route was bathed in some decent sunshine with the Scottish coastline of Dumfries and Galloway looking its best. Its always " if only " and in this case the later path for the train would have all but guaranteed the sunshine that cruelly eluded us a short while before the trains arrival. The Nuclear flask train with 4 diesels and 1 container that went north a short while before the steam was in sunshine. In an area with so much industrial railway heritage with old line criss crossing each other.
I have made an attempt at cloning out 2 vans on the road below where the loco is.
Can't believe I caught this. I had the camera on a tripod with a two second shutter delay when I spotted this tinny screaming towards me. No time to change settings so I just took a guess and actually nailed it. It was great and I'm not complaining, but that was a bit of luck I was hoping to put towards a Lotto ticket... bugger.
I drove up to this roadside waterfall for the first time after the heat wave of June 2021 and the waterfall was barely a trickle. This time the flow was respectable and the light made nice beams as the sun popped over the top of the cliff.

Doug and his trusty camera were in the Tehachapi Mountains when he composed this spellbinding photograph of two eastbound trains. Southern Pacific 8953 East emerges from a side track, sanders fully engaged, as SP 8652 East waits on the main line at Rowan, California on Oct. 18, 1976.
As is often the case, timing is everything.

I had the luxury of my husband driving me to work this morning as we have a meeting to attend this evening. As we drove across the bridge at Kemah Texas I caught this beautiful one shot photo of the sunrise since he was driving:) SOOC
Happy Friday everyone!
Timing in photography can make a huge difference in the appeal or action captured.
I was fortunate to capture this ducks behavior at the right time as it seemed to be responding in a less than friendly manner to the other duck nearby! - I love the other duck's indifference to the verbal attack too!!! :-)
I'm sure we could relate to this kind of behavior and probably substitute the ducks for people!! :-)
Hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a tremendous day and week folks!
My favorite train in one of my favorite places - but timing and outside factors needed to line up.
The Empire Builder runs along the former CB&Q mainline towards St. Croix where it will divert off the BNSF St. Paul Subdivision and make a run down the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River. The train lost time in northwestern Montana and was unable to recover, so the lateness sunk, floating just under eight hours. However, that lateness was making it possible for an afternoon shot in the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific & Natural Area, but that was depending on the will of the dispatcher.
I arrived Grey Cloud Dunes well in advance of the Empire Builder arriving St. Paul Union Depot. In the meantime, I was happy to get some eastbound BNSF intermodal traffic while I waited, additionally watching the clouds come and go and hoping dispatching would route the train on the more scenic BNSF St. Paul Subdivision route winding along the Mississippi River in Cottage Grove, Denmark Township, and briefly in Hastings. At 4:16pm, the Builder departed Union Depot and the hope of seeing it at Grey Cloud was strong. To my surprise, the clouds broke off and the sun proudly shined on my scene - I now just needed the train! Nerves built around the prospect of getting 'the shot,' fingers crossed, but there was still a 50 percent chance the dispatcher would send the Empire Builder straight through Cottage Grove along US 10/61 and avoid Grey Cloud Dunes altogether. My nervousness turned to delight when the distant rumble of eastbound traffic became evident. I should note, too, that I had no idea what power combination would lead this particular run of the Empire Builder. I was just hoping to see it in any form. I was surprised to see this unique pairing of 203 and 301 through the lens as it passed into my scene.
Glorious!
Sunday is my Sunset day, the reason for that I don't have to worry getting up early, Monday is my day off,
All day there was not a cloud in the sky, when I got to the beach all sort of patterns started to develop,
Yes Timing is definitely everything!

This weeks Snap Happy theme of 'feathers and fur' was chosen by Margaret.
A very timely pair of images as this little caterpillar was one I saw just be chance while out walking my pooch last week, and the feather was a tiny little one, about the size of my little finger nail that landed ever so delicately on my geranium leaf in my garden. I couldn't go past both of these for this week's theme.

It took nearly 10 years, but I finally managed a properly-lit photo of the Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit. All previous attempts were on overcast days. So here we have NS 8102 leading 25V west through Bound Brook in nice afternoon light, with a haze of exhaust hinting at the train's speed. But it almost didn't happen. Seconds after this photo was taken, 25V met an equally fast-moving 62V right next to me. Timing is everything.

Purple Martin. View Large On Black Purple Martins are aerial insectivores, meaning that they catch insects from the air. The birds are agile hunters and eat a variety of winged insects. Rarely, they will come to the ground to eat insects. They usually fly relatively high, so, contrary to popular opinion, mosquitos do not form a large part of their diet. IMG_6764
I tried to do the overdone, clichéd glitter shot. Timing is everything! It made me nervous that she would inhale it or get it in her eyes, or mess up my lens or camera so we only took two takes.
Before the annual fireworks show in Detroit, several old warplanes out of Willow Run were doing fly-bys on the river. I had to time my shots as they passed behind openings in the skyline.
Timing is Everything
Running like clockwork...

My timing has been off every time I go out to Thor’s Well. Usually the tide is too low but Sunday it was the opposite.
I thought hitting the coast at high tide would be perfect, but with recent storms and the atmospheric river that just pounded us it was way too high and I couldn’t get close enough for a decent picture. While I was waiting for the tide to go down I headed over to Devil’s Churn. I have no idea what’s going on here. The water was thick like I’ve never seen it and it stuck to the rocks like melting wax. And as luck would have it, three hours later Thor’s Well was still inaccessible.
