The light was right (if a bit dark), but even with all the fluttering around it did (as you can see by the not-in-focus areas), the darned butterfly would not spread open its wings.

I invite you to stroll through My Galleries.
This is Crabley Creek, a delightfully named location on the line to Hull, and complete with signal box and semaphores, for the time being.

In my neighbourhood there are several old farms that are swallowed up by town. The stables behind this farm are nowadays garages. The street you are looking down is Brinkstraat. "The brink (an open space surrounded by trees) is originally the farmer's use area where the livestock was collected in order to go to the common pastureland as a herd. The brink originally was on the edge of the village (the English brink still means "edge"). (Wikipedia)
I have a collapsable hood on my Tokina lens. This was shot at 35mm and I forgot to collapse the hood, which resulted in quite some vignetting. For once I think it actually adds to the photo :-)

The remote job pulls a string of racks out of the yard towards the port on a Saturday evening. The fisherman were not impressed.
The twin bridges of I-680 flank the Cal-P in the background.
Form last week, when the sun still shined here in Kansas. UP 5997 West leads one of the afternoon manifest trains west in Bonner Springs, KS.
Someday the sun will come back out. Today isn't going to be that day and tomorrow isn't looking good either.
In your face view of the UP 6941 East at MP 26.5 on the UP Kansas Sub. I should be out repeating this scene this AM, but the duties of moving my oldest kid out of the house and off my payroll is greater.
Walking around London in late October, after the clocks have gone back. Setting up rigging in Trafalga square.
i'm sorry...don't shoot me for posting more pitt night shots.
i can't help it. i promise...the next post will have nothing to do with pitt...or night :))
You've probably had enough badger pictures for now so I'll make this the last one from the other night. This was early on when one of the youngsters came to see what was on offer. Initially it was startled by the first flash, but after a couple it ignored the flash and me. Thanks for all your kind comments recently. Now I need to catch up with all your pictures....
Heading through Wistow. The trackbed is wide here as there were up and down loops before the re-signalling
The Meridian 222013 has been re-liveried with dark ends and lighter sides
Dall Sheep, again .... It was amazing how orange the early morning sunlight hitting the higher elevations was ...
This could be Mars, were it not for the trees and wild animals.
Baby Barred is more like a teenager now, looking more and more like mom and dad and less and less like a little fuzz ball.

UP's Job 61 tip toes through a residential area in Superior, WI on June 21, 2018. UP runs to Duluth twice a week (Tues. & Thur.) and on this Thursday UP 1480 and 671 have gathered a short train from the BNSF and CP at Rice's Point. A few miles ahead they'll yard their five cars at Itasca Yard and tie up for the day.
I've lived a few blocks away from the UP here for seven years now. For the first five plus years this job was dominated by leaser Geeps. But since then, there's been mostly home road power for Job 61. The UP Geeps have been pretty clean and nice too. Job 61 runs weekdays through our neighborhood and is the only regular train on the line.
50033 is put through its paces ascending the 1:100 gradient between Stogumber and Crowcombe Heathfield past Leighwood Level Crossing. Seen here working its final train of the day at the WSR’s Mixed Traction Day, 2L14 14:30 Minehead - Bishops Lydeard. Note the headboards for the 50th birthday of Dawn Spencer, tireless contributor to the Fifty Fund.
Not necessarily the weather I would have hoped for when UP 1943 came to town, with a passenger special. But it did make things interesting.
Dragged out one of my older trails I never uploaded for some reason .. (probably cause I'm scatter brained)
