Close up ~ 7 Days with Flickr
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
This young Barn Swallow allowed me to approach really close in the car so I was able to get a couple of shots off before a cyclist came along the track and made it fly off

Just had a load of films developed dating back to march, so working my way through it pretty much chronologically.
epic thanks to Tom for the loan of his scanner.
UP 5170 rolling east at Loring on the UP Kansas Sub. Things are starting to green up again here in NE Kansas as we come out of dead stick season.
Nice to catch some older SD70M's leading trains around here lately. Sure is better than the piss bricks we normally get.
These Poppys may possibly be the cutest Poppys ever... I adore them both! They are modelling jewelry sets by me.
Going for a wander (and a wonder) around the neighbourhood last night I came across this Christmas Light extravaganza!

I have a habit of quickly dropping to one knee when shooting sometimes to get a certain angle. But in Arizona you learn to be a little more selective as to where you put your knee...or your feet. Pretty much everything in the desert has spines of some kind, and, when viewed up close, like this, you can see that they mean business! P.S. I was not stuck by any cactus while out in my adventures in the desert. Lesson learned :)

Did anyone not know that UP was bringing 4014 across Nebraska for the College World Series this year? Anyone? I'm guessing not judging by the traffic trackside today. Talk about a stampede.
I had originally planned on going west to catch this large lad yesterday morning as today was supposed to be set aside for a "day" trip to Illinois to catch the westbound roadrailer on the NS. If the rumors are true, the days of that train are very numbered, and this is the last weekend for the rest of the month I'm free. However, the weather wasn't going to make the trip worth it, so I changed my plans and went out for this absolute unit today.
Sam and I both had the same idea: pop him once between North Bend and Fremont and use the extra time with their stop in Fremont to get to out spot in Omaha and get setup before the crowd arrived. I showed up to North Bend an hour before the train would be there and there were already 20+ cars at the highway crossing in town, including two gentlemen chain smoking cigarettes with one foot on the rail.
We had predicted a scene similar to that while talking the night before, so we planned on heading to a farm crossing east of town with the hope that most people would also have the same idea. I'm not going to say it was as bad as it was in town, but we certainly weren't the only ones with that idea, as both the crossings we scoped out already had several cars waiting.
Since the shot was just going to be a wedgie anyway, we set up with the others a couple miles east of town and waited. Unlike everyone else at that crossing, however, we brought our big boy lenses (pun absolutely intended), allowing us a telesmash of the consist with the North Bend elevator in the background.
I'll end this story for now and continue it on the next post.

Not a fan of hunting
It’s hunting season but I have no interest in participating. I’ll eat wild game, but I’m not going through the trouble of procuring it for myself.
This outfit came out a bit more “hunter” than I anticipated. Don’t worry, the only thing I’m hunting is the perfect stick for Jasper to fetch from the river. For that particular game, you’ve got to camo up and be vewy vewy quiet.

Near the "golf-course" entrance to Shepherds Bush an unusually active EYR skipped from branch to branch. Possibly searching for nesting materials.

What would I do without a freshly brewed coffee in the morning?
How could I survive a day in office without cup after cup of this noble drink?
And who the hell had the idea of grinding beans and pressing boiling water through it?
This guy was a genius!

Things get better through whatever
If you fall, dust it off,don't let up
don't you know you can go,be your own miracle,
you need to know...
if the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
but the heart keeps telling you don't give up
who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what,
don't give up...
through it all just stand up!!!!:)
