Finding that special someone who makes you feel at ease is a beautiful experience. It doesn’t take much, but when it feels right, you just know. 💖✨

When the hummer behaves and comes close enough that you have to back up because the telephoto lens won't focus that close, things work out.
Au fil de l ' eau un océan de silence , un souffle de liberté , un brin d ' aventure avec ces montagnes qui barrent l ' horizon . C ' était un inoubliable rêve éveillé...

Back when I dispatched for the Rio Grande in Denver I spent a lot of time on the BN line over Trinchera Pass. I could check the train sheets and see what went south on the BN coal trains over the Joint Line south of Denver. After work I could easily catch up to something if it had a nice set of power. Here a loaded train heads for the power plant at Oklaunion, Texas, and is seen travelling over the moon scape like terrain east of Trinidad. A neat train of company steel hoppers snakes along behind a set of GE and EMD products. But of course back then a "nice" set of power was something other than an SD40-2 leading! My how times have changed...
When I was walking down one of the paths at Circle B, I noticed that ants were issuing forth from what initially appeared to be a crack in the soil. Upon closer examination I could see that there were queens and probably drones preparing to leave the nest to start a new one, and they were being tended to by normal ants from the colony. I don't know what kind of ants these are, but I enjoy taking part in natures little moments.

When all i could see was the profile, I thought it was a cat for an instant!

When D&H ran on the Northeast Corridor. N/B train WR7 (Washington, DC to Rouses Point) is passing by tracks leading to Conrails Orangeville engine terminal.
Here’s another image from last year’s trip to NZ: I already uploaded the image Beyond Nowhere from this location whose description also includes the whole story around our journey to this beach, and it is something to remember: the arrival on the beautiful South Island, the five-hour drive without a single break over the windiest roads I’ve ever driven (and all with a big motorhome on the “wrong” side of the road) to the northernmost point where civilization is very sparse and electricity is limited, and finally the hurried hike to the beach. But all of that was so worth it and we did make it for sunset which was less spectacular than we had hoped (don’t get me wrong, the local is spectacular, but there was just no interest in the sky), but as the light faded I noticed the water channels in the sand that made some nice leading lines towards the Archway Islands. And so we kept shooting until it was completely dark and enjoyed our limited time at one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve yet been to. I hope you like it!
My Monday flower greeting comes today from "our" cherry alley, which is currently in full bloom. And this greeting is under the motto "Vision, Perseverance, and Willingness to Compromise."
"Vision" because I immediately knew that this avenue had the potential for great pictures. And that at a time when it still looked dreary and gloomy.
"Perseverance" because I waited two months for this day. Because I kept checking back so I wouldn't miss the right moment.
And last but not least, the willingness to compromise. I had a pretty clear idea of the photo I wanted to take. But for one thing, the sun didn't set where I would have liked (again). That would have been directly in the extension of the avenue. For another, the trees were unfortunately cut back quite heavily, which significantly changed the appearance of the passageway. Since my plan didn't work, I had to improvise a bit. Here you can see the result.
And so I wish you a great week and, beyond that, "vision, perseverance and the ability to compromise (of course only where appropriate).
Mein montäglicher Blumengruß kommt heute von "unserer" Kirschalle die gerade in voller Blüte steht. Und dieser Gruß steht unter dem Motto "Vision, Beharrlichkeit und Kompromissbereitschaft".
Vision deshalb, weil ich sofort wusste dass diese Allee das Potential für großartige Bilder hat. Und das zu einem Zeitpunkt, als sie noch Trist und graus ausgesehen hat.
Beharrlichkeit deshalb, weil ich zwei Monate lang auf diesen Tag gewartet habe. Weil ich immer wieder nachgesehen habe, damit ich den richtigen Moment nicht verpasse.
Und zu guter letzt die Bereitschaft zu Kompromissen. Ich hatte eine ziemlich klare Vorstellung von dem Foto, das ich machen wollte. Doch zum einen ist die Sonne nicht dort unter gegangen, wo ich es gern gehabt hatte (wieder einmal). Das wäre nämlich direkt in der Verlängerung der Allee gewesen. Zum anderen wurden die Bäume leider recht stark zurück geschnitten, was das Aussehen den Durchganges deutlich verändert hat. Da mein Plan nicht funktioniert hat, musste ich also ein wenig improvisieren. Hier seht Ihr das Ergebnis.
Und so wünsche ich Euch eine eine tolle Woche und darüber hinaus "Visionen, Beharrlichkeit und die Fähigkeit für Kompromisse (natürlich nur da, wo sie angebracht sind).

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine in His own time and in His own way.
This is a part of exhibit "Power of Hope" that takes place at Novaowl Gallery. This exhibit is through the month of June
I made this photo with the help of wonderful pieces or art from Scafall, Specter Skies and K&S
Scafall : Sevilla / Gazebo & Lights
The magical gazebo is PBR & Legacy compatible and 41 land impact, and the lights 2 land impact.
Scafall Mainstore
There are lots of beautiful gifts at the store that were made with love :)
I used a few WLs from Specter Skies and blended it in one photo (Sadly I can not remember what exactly I used. I just keep collecting those lovely WLs and try it all every time until I love what I see at the screen)
K&S : Knocking on Heavens door. Backdrop (I used only the clouds. I do love them and use often)
Lets keep being creative :)
