Around here ODOT runs large brush cutters along the state highways trimming weeds from alongside the right of way. Otherwise the overgrowth would be six feet tall by now and create a safety issue for motorists. But along some of the secondary township roads, maintenance is less frequent. That's where I come in. Whether in cemeteries, old houses and barns, or rural lanes such as this, I'm always trying to stay out in front of the work crews that maintain of these places. Neatly trimmed lawns and weed-whipped ditches are of no interest to me. I much prefer the natural state as summer vegetation tries to reclaim manmade structures. Same with large crop fields that abut roadways. I love the feeling of being in a corridor, walking right along the boundary between the natural and clear pathway of a road or trail. This scene evoked those feelings as the boundary became blurred with tall weeds reaching into the lane of travel. I could feel them brush me as I walked past. The morning fog completed the effect.

One of the more interesting Grebe behaviors is a weed ceremony. The male and female move through behaviors dubbed neck-stretching, bob-shaking, and weed-diving, before coming to the astonishing weed-dancing, in which male and female face each other with aquatic vegetation in the bill and rise up vertically, their feet in constant motion, necks extended and bills rising upward, and then begin spiral movements around one another, their bills gracefully turning as they pivot around their partner.

I went for a short walk with my camera yesterday in search of some birds. This weed is the only thing I saw of interest. If you have time, please view large for the details.
Solanum elaeagnifolium
Especially unwanted, a very common kind of weed that it is difficult to get rid of, however its colours are quite tempting for a photograph!
We had another big ice storm today, the second this year already, and it's not even officially winter! We have several limbs down in the yard, the ice is so destructive. Some sun the next few days, so hopefully it will melt during the day.
The CP 2WWA weed sprayer makes their way west through Downtown Milwaukee past the former home of Cutler Hammer before a reverse move at the Cut Off to secure the train in Muskego Yard.

Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) selects its breakfast from my Gold Coast hinterland front lawn. This is the brown morph of the species. A gold morph also appears in my garden occasionally and seems to be a member of the small family that calls my place home. It has been drizzling so the wallaby's colourful fur is a bit more spiky than usual.
Early August, Summer in Northern California and the summit of Mount Shasta at 14,179 still had snow, tells you how cold it is up there. Shasta is actually a potentially active volcano that last erupted about 1250 AD according to geological observations. This image was captured from Weed California, a small town with a population of 2,600 near the base of Shasta Panasonic Lumix DMC LX100 Mark II 12-35mm f/1.7.2.8 #developportdev #microfournerds @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitcalifornia @mount_shasta @panasonic @lumix #micro43photography #micro43 #lx100m2 #lumix #panasonic #mtshasta
Finally caught a pair of Great crested grebes doing their courtship dance this afternoon though only just found a clearing through the reeds
Poking Thru The Weeds
I don't prefer shooting the long hood end of geeps but sometimes the scene is rare or cool enough that it's worth capturing. I have an affinity for lightly used weed grown branches, spurs and industry tracks and this one certainly fits the bill.
After spotting up a single boxcar at Atlantic Plywood and running through the parking lot and driveway 'pseudo street running' trackage, Providence and Worcester local PR3 with home road original GP38-2 2008 (EMD blt. Dec. 1980) is heading back to their train. This weedy spur serves this last active customer off the once busy Phillipsdale Yard at MP 4.7 on the PW's East Providence Running Track.
If you missed the shot of them down in Atlantic (though not sure how you could since I've been accused of posting way too many, whatever that means!) here is a link to one: flic.kr/p/2jAMaso
