Despite the naysayers; 4014 was doing the work from the rear while shoving north along the Omaha riverfront. I don't think I've shot a train from this pedestrian overpass since the original 2 heritage units (1982/1983) were unveiled in 2005!

Nasty 10-pelican pile up. Luckily no injuries.

Day 17 of Be Your Own Beloved. The theme for today was claiming or taking up space.

Boris assisted me in figuring out the proper position in relation to the camera. I took this at the same time as the previous self portrait. It's been a busy weekend and didn't realize I'd missed a few days.

Living lucky today. Saw the clouds were breaking and snuck out and snagged one at Lenape. Had a timely heads up from Grumpy that Z10 was lit west as I left the barn and got on my horse.

Got glared here, really wanted to frame this about an engine length further west, but I misjudged the speed and the shutter lag. Fixed it as best I could and cropped the image a little tighter.

Sounds like possible sun on Sunday. We’ll see.

A local switches the Frito Lay plant in Casa Grande, AZ

While I can't be absolutely sure, I believe this is the same young female cardinal I posted images of back in the summer when she was a real mess (actually, ugly). If so, she is turning into quite a striking lady now as she has developed.

No entrance up to Dolbadarn castle because of Wales in lockdown tier 4!

UP 7388 departs Global 3 in Rochelle, IL with LPG04. The crew told the dispatcher their next stop for switching would be the Bahamas.

I haven't been anywhere dressed for a while, mainly due to lockdown, but I have had the odd times when I've been experimenting with different foundation, powders etc.at home, for when I do eventually venture out again. I was trying out the "baking" technique under my eyes here with concealer, beauty blender and loose powder that is all the rage at the moment and followed a youtube tutorial. I'm not sure if its worth all the bother to be honest, I should probably just get some tear trough filler and botox, there is only so much makeup can do! It's my own hair here, plus a few clip in hair extensions for added volume

Just another butterfly shot--posting and running---busy today--catch up with you guys later this afternoon--ENJOY YOUR DAY----THANKS FOR LOOKING!

UP 3086 leading an ETRX coal empty through downtown Aurora. A scene I have been wanting to capture for awhile. MNA 4081 can be seen in the background.

Up tonight in about an hour.

We've got a couple of Opals for those that were looking for them c:
