The aftermath of the EF4 tornado that wiped out a good portion of the rural areas of Douglas and Leavenworth County can clearly be seen with all of the mangled trees here as this train works around the curve coming up on MP 31 on the UP Kansas Sub.
This was the first time I've popped the drone up in this location and I think I will be back and scoping out a couple other shots I've found on Google Earth.

We have several Gardenia bushes outside our door and they are all filling up with their aromatic blooms. Quite a sight to see.
When we moved here mother dug up these bushes at our old home and planted them here. She transplanted a lot of plants and flowers but these Gardenia were probably her favorite. They fill us with lots of memories, too. 😊

Did someone say 'SUMMER'?? - - - Ahhh... the Memorial Day Weekend - the unofficial start of Summer. Let the good times, the warmth, and the sunshine begin! We've had absolutely no Spring this year... April and May were just one very looooong rainy washout, so I'm really looking forward to the Summer months.

WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE, AND FUN, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!! : )

I must have shot this blue jay dead-on to have him show up this well, as he was pretty far away.

She was off investigating some rotting seal pups, tangled up in the seaweed line, but of the man and dog team, I was a little higher up the beach looking for flotsam with goose barnacles on it. We both spotted the bright yellow fishing net float at the same time and went that way, to discover a wooden pallet tangled with a plastic and foam float, tangled net, and rope, the whole encrusted with now dead goose barnacles. Ironically there was torn shopping bag in the tangle "proudly proclaiming 100% recycled plastic bottles"
I knew most of this little collection came from far away, perhaps Portugal, Spain or Morocco, as Goose barnacles are found there. Perhaps the bag remnants originated with a British tourist in one of those countries............ But I was more intrigued by the wooden pallet. You know that there is a conservative estimate that there are over 5 billion pallets worldwide. 5 BILLION !!!!! I suspect there are far more, judging by the junk lying around local crofts and cities and our countryside. But what was the thinking of the person who put this pallet in the sea to let it wash up on the beautiful white sands and pristine waters of Sanna bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula of Highland Scotland ?
Haven't we got enough junk on this planet? Look around and you see wooden pallets lying around all over the place. They are a real blot on the landscape. It may surprise you to hear some of the major pallet manufacturers actually employ staff to locate idle pallets that have fallen out of their systems. I would suggest they have an insurmountable challenge to get all their pallets back once the pallets are unloaded. The fact that they lie, abandoned all over the planet is proof of that. Of course many are chopped up and burnt as firewood, or just burnt to destroy them, and that's not good for the planet either. Of course there is a solution for this, and for responsible, environmentally conscious businesses it's PalletEarth.
You couldn't help but look up at all the detail in the ceiling of the Nat History Museum in London, to be fair though it was the only place I could point the camera and not have hoards of people in .

We spent a good part of the day driving back west towards Utah, doing a scenic drive the long way through the hills to check out Boars Tusk and a petroglyph site. Late in the afternoon we ended up driving into Green River to gas up. There was a westbound (I presume a soda ash train) lined up on the main ready to go. In the morning we saw this consist along the highway as the mid-train DPU on a westbound. I’m guessing they split the train with the front half going towards Ogden and this one headed to Pocatello. After waiting for a stack train to overtake it, they started slogging up Peru Hill. Unfortunately we had places to be so I had to settle for a couple shots.

RD18969. The Schynige Platte Bahn (SPB) is a 4½ mile / 7¼ km long narrow gauge (800mm) rack railway near Interlaken in Canton Bern, Switzerland. It starts at Wilderswil just south of Interlaken and climbs to the station at Schynige Platte which is 6,520ft / 1,987m a.s.l. with gradients up to 1 in 4 (25%).
The line uses ancient electric locomotives which propel the two carriage trains up the gradient and this is the scene at the upper station with two trains waiting for up trains to arrive before they can begin their descent.
