“Thirty-nine years of my life had passed before I understood that clouds were not my enemy; that they were beautiful, and that I needed them. I suppose this, for me, marked the beginning of wisdom. Life is short.”
~ Iimani David
Hiking in the green heart of Holland today
Wisdom, Happiness, and Courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they're part of a continuous cycle that begins right here. They're not only the ending, but the beginning as well.

With B40-8's UP 1832 and 1833 for power, UP Train LSI55 05 uses Junland Siding on the UP Chester Sub. to run around the IHOYC 04. While it goes against conventional wisdom, the stack train will be in a long line of trains to get to the crew change at North Dexter.
The dispatcher on the territory today let the local zoom in and out of the sidings on the way north to get around several through freights between the switches on the main. This way, the local gets through Dexter and up to the kitty litter plant where it can get its work done and almost be headed back by the time the outbound crew even gets on the IHOYC.

Maybe she’ll come with the next spring
Maybe year after year with the white on my head
Wisdom
Forse verrà con la prossima primavera
Forse anno dopo anno col bianco sul mio capo
Saggezza
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

There's beauty in everyone. I love taking pictures of aging people because I find they are always full of character and exude wisdom.

I took this photo somewhere in central Kentucky. At the time, I forgot to jot down the exact location.. Kentucky is full of old barns and old abandoned houses that make for some great photographic opportunities if you like capturing that type of images. There is something about these old barns that I find appealing and I have a hard time putting it into words. I think of the life of extreme hard work, tough and practical men and women, and—contrary to Hollywood's stereotypical portrayal of farmers and rural folk as ignorant—I find them to be above-average in intelligence and practical wisdom.
I was due for a Star Wars photo, right? ;-)

Today, I totally stole this idea from a much cooler shot from Scott, but I told him so I think its okay...haha
This was actually pretty tough to get the piece falling like this, but I caught it about 4 times and just went with this one. Had to rush just a little bit, the Dolphins are beating Alya's Patriots right now and we are a house divided...haha
Anywho.... Enjoy. Hope I made you proud Scott. Nice topic today.

Recently I had the honor to photograph a man who will be a hundred years old in a couple of weeks... Hands have always fascinated me. This picture was living in my mind for a long time, ever since I planned these important images for the different family generations.
