Video from our Amish neighbor Ray's yearly charity event 2021, for a young man with cancer.

We're getting out of town, we're going on the run...
And you're the one I want to come!
I endured a 12 hour trainride (two days later than planned) from Seville to Barcelona since (being the procrasinator that I am) I didn't plan far enough in advance. Who knew it would be such a popular route?
I was especially amused that whenever the train stopped, a bunch of people would immediately rush out, pulling out their pack of cigs before they even stood up.

"Riding into Summer
When school is out, and the miniature park train runs all day long, its clear and hollow whistle echoing off the lake’s far shores.
When the sunlight is finally warm again; and the green, dark forest shade is even cooler.
Days melt down slow into a pale purple dusk like pages straight out of “To Kill A Mockingbird”
And the abrasive drone of the 17 year locusts finally fades..replaced with the more familiar cadence of our local heat bugs.
Fireworks stands pop up overnight like so many gaudy yellow mushrooms, hawking pyrotechnics that strain to remind us of what the 4th of July is really all about.
Lush, verdant landscapes as far as the eye can see, watered by slow moving thunderstorms from time to time, filled with the sweet scent of newly mown grass..grass that someone else had to cut.
So now it is time to resume our daily lives, to go back to meeting friends, not to be afraid to get close to others, to remembering how it used to be before the pandemic hit.
And so today’s Summer Soltice celebrates our longest day….warm, sunlit, and humid as hell.
Or for the pessimist it marks the turning point where we begin to slowly, slowly slide down into Winter’s icy, colorless grasp.
To them…..Carpe Diem ! Bring on the heat…and the Gin & Tonics (with two limes) please.
Happy Solstice to all those Flickr friends living up here in our Northern Hemisphere. Slainte !

Pixel peeping will expose how the parents were enjoying the ride every bit as much as the kids. : ))

This past Saturday we went to Noblesville and rode the Nickel Plate Express Brunch Excursion. It runs from Noblesville to just south of Atlanta before returning to Noblesville. We did enjoy the ride in ex-Santa Fe high cars that have been nicely maintained. The food was pretty good, but not exceptional. The engine on the right was the power returning from Atlanta. The one on the left is used for other excursions.
on the Scottish Jacobite steam train. This was shot through the train window and I am rather amazed at how good it turned out!
The view out of the window from our train ride to Scotland. The weather was perfect almost the whole trip, with warm, sunny days.
I used Lightroom's new "sensor dust" removal tool on this photo. The window had water spots. Worked perfectly!
