My only shot showing the head of this species, Argiope aurantia, the Black & Yellow Garden Spider. The dragonfly prey appears to be hanging precariously. Perhaps one or more of the three tiny Argyrodes kleptoparasites in view had been cutting away at its support? Subsequently the Garden Spider added reinforcement and hauled it up to safety. Maybe some shots of that, eventually.
Happy Arachtober!
Time to relax is later. Now is the time for doing away with all (well, most) of the fallen limbs and branches that Winter hides.
btw: it's dark because it is pre-dawn. That's the only time there is no wind blowing, and safer for fire... :)
Just before sunrise on October 8, 2004, Union Pacific’s LJP45 local heads for the Sunnyside Branch at West Mounds, Utah. Rio Grande SD40T-2 Tunnel Motor No. 5371 erupts with smoke as it swings through the switches to the branch.

Somewhere in Utah
Any normal person would say it’s the middle of nowhere, but to a few of us, it’s definitely somewhere. Only a railfan could make a destination of somewhere completely devoid of people, something I think makes the hobby all the more interesting. Here on the former Rio Grande main, traffic still exists, though not without considerable gaps between trains. With its helpers removed at Colton, UP 3038 and company notch up to speed once again with their load of West Elk coal in tow. They departed Grand Junction sometime around 9AM with an easy run across the desert, meeting Amtrak in Ruby Canyon and an empty coal train somewhere west of Green River. With a little over 60 miles left of double track, they don’t look to be stopping anytime soon.

Sydney harbour bridge and The famous Sydney Opera house....from a cruise moving at very high speed...the night breeze...through Sydney harbour waterways.
The dirty dirt train roars out of the cut near Seven Mile with loads of radioactive waste for disposal elsewhere.

Flamborough and Bempton as seen from Filey Brigg.
As usually happens, clouds covered the sunrise proper but a short time thereafter, the sun blasted its light through the clouds and lit up the cliffs around the Flamborough peninsular. Quite a spectacular morning and well needed after two weeks of coughs and colds put me out of action. Surprising how my mood changes for a whole week if we don't get to have a run out somewhere.
Spunky, as she is getting all dolled up.

This is another recently recovered shot which, unfortunately, is not an original edit. This shows a wall cloud illuminated by lightning about three miles north and east. The cell was tornado warned shortly before this.

The westbound UP-led military move did not make to Union Jct before the sun was down, due to excess railroad molasses, however I decided to stick around for it anyway. The least I could do was mess around with some pan shots as he was at least not crawling towards Park Jct. Attempts with trailing military equipment turned out a little better, but it was still fun. Nice running into you Douglas !
