So I want to start this off by saying I am consistently over-ambitious. Take today, for example. Today, I thought to myself, in my second attempt at using my new tablet, why don't I go ahead and try to draw a hood and a magic bubble and a shirt, on top of the usual hair, lighting, and color effects that I normally do.
Mind you, I don't draw/can't draw. Part of the purpose of this tablet is to try new things. Well ... I eventually gave up and realised my hood was actually a cloud. So I made it a magical effing cloud. And by the end I was just brain tired and gave up on the shirt altogether.
Anyways, a pile-up of Kira Balestra.

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!
A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures.

I'm not sure what train this is but I saw the same power doing the same thing two days in a row so I suspect it's a local transfer job of some sort. At any rate, this pair of UP Deuces is heading north out of Fort Worth and soon to go over the Trinity River. 5/18/18
Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
Critically endangered White-backed Vultures waiting for the sun to create warm-air pockets that would enable them to soar over distances of up to 150 km. They are Africa's most common large vulture, an accomplished scavenger that feeds on the carcasses of Africa's large animals.
That's heat dissipation distorting the signal bridge in Derry, PA, not the stink from trash train NS 62V. I was happy to telesmash the late model ACe leader and step back from the tracks before the smell of garbage came wafting through in its wake.
Lone Survivor
UP 7607 cruises along the Columbia River at milepost 129 of the Portland Sub, taking in some sun before the fog returns, as seen creeping in the background. With its six total units all online, the detector at 133.2 read out a speed of 69MPH, roughly matching the 70MPH speed limit on I-84. A lonely pole stands proudly next to the right of way, one of a few remaining along this section of the Portland Sub who were lucky enough to be given white tape to mark each quarter mile. This particular pole looks like a decorated veteran with all 4 stripes and a milepost sign present to mark the 129th mile of track east of Portland.
Despite the entire river being covered in low hanging clouds at sunrise, it’s a particularly pleasant day with little wind and a high in the low 40s. The rain from the previous few days reset the stagnant air that was present over the course of the previous week, and the clear atmosphere would yield a particularly brilliant sunset. More on that eventually.
