Temperatures remain in the high twenties, combined with the very dry air it is very comfortable. Harvest ist completely in progress, no problems expected as it will remain dry the next couple of days. Nevertheless some rain would not be wrong, nature need water as May and June were very dry.

Same bear as yesterday. This is one of 37 shots in a row of this guy barreling towards me. And all sharp and good. It was an awesome moment and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
The majority of the time, great grey owls do a quick dive down from a perch to attack its prey. In this case, the owl launched from a birch snag and went on a long, shallow descent, gliding a fair distance to head to a spot it thought there was rodent activity. No luck, this time.
Note the wing angle (slightly down at the back) and the tail feathers fully deployed to help slow decent. The overall body angle and attitude reminded me of those people they use flying suits to glide from cliff tops, hopefully down safely to the ground (images.app.goo.gl/Rn1vFJ1cXKD4MXwS6).
The last remaining French RTG "Turboliner", one of the first pieces of new equipment purchased by Amtrak, sits forlorn and derelict in a southern Indiana scrap yard.

Looking across Annesville bay at Peekskill, NY, an Amtrak Rohr Turburliner heads for Grand Central. This view can be had from the bay parking area which has since become a paddle sports launch.

A rather menacing-looking T-34C Turbo Mentor from VMFAT-101 "Sharpshooters" arriving at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
Turbo isn't as forthright about pats as his brother, Slim, but he still likes them very much. He'll wait patiently while I click away, knowing that pats will eventually come his way. The goats at Wright-Locke Farm don't have a brush near their enclosure, so I just ordered a cheap variety of them. The goats will be delighted.
We always referred to Amtraks Turbo Train as "The Worm". Here it is heading East under the Main Street Bridge in Rochester, NY on January 22, 1978. I was driving a Chevy Vega at the time that was only reliable enough to venture up to Rochester. Future adventures to farther away locations became a reality in March 1978 when I bought a new Chevy Pickup Truck.
I present a crop shot from the modern day darkroom. A prelude to yesterday's posting as stated in the caption, our D&H/Canadian Pacific train #556 had met Amtrak's "Adirondack" at Ballston Spa, NY. I'm pretty sure there wasn't too many meets between MLW's and Rorh Turboliners even though they did go into Montreal on a daily basis. Something to think about. Did these "Bigs" live a longer life than the the Turbos??
