VRS detour train 27W, or NS train 29E heads west out of Rutland towards the CP interchange at Whitehall with 5 GP38-2s leading the way. This train is routed via the NECR and VTR due to the Hoosac Tunnel collapse.
NS 29E detours over the Vermont Railway to avoid the collapsed Hoosac Tunnel on the Pan Am. 5 GP38-2s cross over Cuttingsville Bridge on the GMRC Bellows Falls Sub.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Common Crow Butterfly
Scientific Name: Euploea core
Identification: The Common Crow Butterfly is a large black butterfly with white spots on the fore wings and a band of elongated spots on the hind wings. The outer wing margins have small white spots. The males have a pair of hidden orange-yellow brushes at the tip of the abdomen, which they can extend into bright coloured patch as part of the mating ritual or to deter predators. These brushes emit a musky odour. The caterpillars are striped. Pupa have metallic silvery sheen.
Other Names: Oleander Butterfly
Size: wingspan 70mm, Caterpillar about 50mm
Habitat: The Common Crow is found in open forest and woodland. Often seen in parks and gardens
Food: Common Crow Butterfly caterpillars feed on a wide range of native plants. They are often found in gardens feeding on Ficus (figs), Hoya, Mandevilla, Nerium oleander, Trachelospermum (star jasmines). The larvae eat the leaf and soft stem parts.
Range: Throughout tropical Australia and eastern Queensland. Adults sometimes disperse further down eastern Australia as far as Victoria, but there are no permanent breeding populations further south than northern New South Wales.

I recently visited an ice cave and walked away with a ton of fun images. I posted a couple already, but I can't help continuing to post them. I did a similar version to this vertically hoping it would make the leading line crack more pronounced. I actually think I like this one better. This was obviously a bracketed blend, the inside of the cave was very dark. The crack was a bit of a concern because the cave was wall to wall river, with water under you everywhere you stood. Kind of creepy, but very cool. I so badly wanted to capture that in an image, but could not figure out how. Guess the image did not need it anyway. This is Castner Cave near Fairbanks Alaska BTW.
Let me know what you think?
It's hard to think that this time last year we were in NYC - I miss the buzz, I miss the crazy weather, I miss the vibe, I miss the people, I miss the subway ... you get it eh?
