The town is getting all dolled up in anticipation of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade next week.

With 15 straight days of rain, the weeds are taking over!

 

TGIF and a HFF to everyone!

 

Chicago & North Western Heritage painted engine, Union Pacific 1995 departs Westbound out of the siding at Yarmony and follows alongside the Colorado River as it approaches the crew change location at Bond.

Something from 2019

There are victims of injustice and unjust laws - and then there are the unwholesome wretches who shamelessly profit from their misery

I often take my camera with me when I go to fill the feeders up - just in case. On this occasion I struck lucky, there was a squirrel already feeding when I went out, so I stood back and waited for it to move away which it did after 5 minutes or so, having given me the chance to get a few snaps.

I then filled the feeders up and stayed close by to photograph the small birds hoping for the Nuthatch to appear.

I don't know who was the more surprised when the squirrel reappeared on the branch less than 12 feet away from me. It looked me up and down a few times shaking its tail and then went to the feeder.

This is one of the shots I managed; many of the others are not full body as I was too close and in some I can see my reflection in the eyes of the squirrel.

Still wearing its 'as delivered' red frame stripe, UP 5444 and a trio of SD70Ms, drop down grade between Allard (Bealville) and Caliente with westbound tonnage bound for Roseville, California. This photo was taken from above tunnel 1, in the distance a sharp eye will spot the train's rear DPU which is approaching tunnel 2.

 

This was an early attempt at getting away from the more 'traditional' Tehachapi locations that I had grown up with :}

"A heavenly view from above

Lifeless skies embrace stars

With the enveloping heat of the sun

And with the light that blinds us

 

The smell of cosmos is all around

Going up to the life pedestal

Something new is about to come

It was close, now it's gone..."

What is this? Clean U&P?? I must be dreaming...

I know, I know, it's a "pull-tab" not a pop top. This is from a can of Budweiser, the King of Beers (if you are to believe their advertising). This was left here by a visiting Euro beer-lover. When she's here she does enjoy US beer, like PBR and Bud. Of course, Corona and Heineken and other brands of beer are on the "acceptable to drink" list as well.

 

While processing this image, John Hiatt's "Riding with the King" was playing in my head. Here is a great rendition with Hiatt singing and Sonny Landreth playing lead on slide. The band is tight, the video and sound are excellent. Highly recommended. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_CUzuitxSI

This is the train I had intended to shoot that morning before the EC-4 car changed the timing. When the intermodal train departed Council Bluffs, it was under high sun and haze. Oh well, I'm out here, might as well shoot it anyway. I liked the Golden West boxes on the head end.

we were inspired by this wonderful movie..
