Thanks everyone for your support, you are all awesome 💓
...with whatever these spiky green things are...anyways, an early HGGT to you all! ( I got's to get up way early and work way late tomorrow!!)
My load today out of Phoenix fell through, and nothing else ready today. Anyway, used some of my time catching up a little on Flickr and a little on editing a few pictures.
I like how this Upper Antelope Slot Canyon shot came out, at least when viewing on my laptop, on the phone not so much.
Took a lot of pictures this day back in October of 2016, but haven't really posted that many of them, so guess I've got enough to spread out over the next few years.
Trying a new edit program, Luminar 3. Happy with Light Room, in fact used it some with this as well as the Luminar. Love Topaz, especially AI Clear, but nice to have options.
The sun needs to be directly over head to get sun rays in the canyons, and then it only lasts for a short time, plus the sun is only directly overhead a couple of months a year, May and June I believe. Well this was taken in October, no direct overhead sunlight. That's where Luminar comes in. It's got a really neat sun rays tool, very versatile and lots of control. Once I got the sun rays the way I wanted, I worked on the bottom area to make them look like they were hitting the sand directly below. That was the hardest part. If you're a purist, sorry to disappoint, but I'm trying to make mostly realistic looking images, but don't feel guilty about how I get there. I want to make my pictures unique and hopefully beautiful or at least interesting. So for me it's about artistic license, not a SOOC documentary of scenes. I could do that with my phone.
Well, gonna post this, go get some dinner, then more catching up on Flickr, then beddie bye.

The daily MEWFP-17 passes under US 59 and through the crossover at CP Nance on the West Belt, beginning its run down to Freeport.

Sorry, computer joke. The little eyepiece in the center swivels to let the viewer line up horizon features in the Grand Canyon, and identify them by the names recorded on the brass plate. Or did, at one time in the old days, maybe.

The sun sets on another day in the Cienega Creek Preserve southeast of Tucson AZ.
UP 7435, on main 1, leads a stack westbound across the The Cienega Creek bridge that was built by the El Paso & Southwestern in 1912. Seen in the foreground is main 2 , the original ESPEE alignment that follows the creek.
As weather blows in from the west a trio of AC44s try to out run it with an eastbound grain empty. In the foreground the remains of UP's Encampment Branch lead away from the busy Overland mainlines and towards its namesake.

My love is not one that will lose it’s worth
my speed is like that one you knew
when you lit
Up the sky
Up the sky
Your light is that of my sweet breath when weaving
I am the iris of your pathway leading
To the sky
As the sky
Come back to senses in the space between us
The small blue of your open eyes is as vast
As the sky
As the sky “

A westbound North Platte, Nebraska to Roseville, California manifest struggles up the east side of the Pequops with the Missouri-Kansas-Texas heritage locomotive leading. The MNPRV's EOT is still in Utah with the UT/NV state line just around the curve in the distance.

Arkon is very smart and very food motivated! But he is very sleepy today - probably a combination of the steroids and the vaccines he got at the vet yesterday. A happy, les itchy sleepy boy!
This is a close-up photo of rusting, weathered details on an old train engine at the Railway Museum in Musquodoboit Harbour.
Sort of a mixed bag of results from this AM. Drove way too far for some decent shots but in the end it's worth it when you can get a clean one on the point.
Probably the only train worth shooting on the whole subdivision this morning was this loaded coal train with the UP 8522 leading with on of the new repaints with the large shield on the nose.
This shot is between Midland and Lawrence on the UP Kansas Sub as it makes the bend around the curve to head south towards Lawrence.
This Carolina Wren was bouncing around in the flowerbed and went into the cone flowers. I thought it was cute how it popped out in the middle. My backyard, Central Bucks PA.
I have a good number of Willughby's leafcutter bees going about their busy bee lives in my garden in the summer, but I met this lovely female nectaring on common restharrow at St Cyrus NNR. I love the distinctive pose that leafcutters adopt when nectaring, pointing their (often pollen-laden) bottom up! ... so Bottoms Up for a happy weekend everyone!
CP H23 returns to Lambton with a totally random UP SD70ACe leading away, this certainly caught me off guard.
This abandoned building is just outside the Wall, SD entrance to Badlands National Park. The graffiti on the side says Bondo MLS. Wall Drug signs are everywhere so it isn't surprising to find one here. Wall Drug still offers coffee for 5 cents and free water.
