*Working Towards a Better World
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️ ❤️ ❤️
After working a day shift and then a longer night shift all in the same 24 hour span I took a day off and headed to Saint Helens. She was even more shy this time than last and eventually the black clouds chased me home just before making it to the Plains of Abraham, but I did get at least one decent shot. (I think anyway!) That's Dog's Head, the East side of my fickle volcano friend to the right and my trail on the left. It was good to get the wanderlust out for the day.
I wasn't sure if this was an Amish or Mennonite gang because of the truck but most likely is. What really caught my eye was the landscape layers and colors.
Well I've now run out of recent images to post, so a dig through the archives is now in order. I thought I'd start of with some early digital stuff. Here 09203 is seen running through Newport Station with a local trip working.
During my visit this year (Oct 2019), earth movers were busily working on new water impoundments along the Kern River Flood Canal just west of the Tule Elk State Natural Reserve near Tupman, California. The Kern River is usual dry with most of the water taken out of it updstream except in wet years that have high amounts of spring run off. The impounds at the end of the river along the flood canal allow for water storage during these wet years and, according to a geologist I talked to, needed groundwater recharge. The sizes of the equipment working on the project were impressive.

This is what I have to put up with with whilst I am working from home. Pixie either sits right in front of the screen or lies across the computer desk. This is why cats are not allowed at work:-))
The Covid pandemic made a lot of us work from home - now a lot of us don't want to go back to working in an office.
The crew of BIP 178 performs their last job of the day spotting a cut of tank cars for Asphalt Materials Inc. near Marietta, OH. Once done, they'll head west to Blue Knob Rd. where the afternoon crew will take over for the trip into Parkersburg's High Yard.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
"I read somewhere that the only exercise 95% of the people in Second Life do, is horizontally."
"Well, what about dancing? That's exercise. That's vertical."
"Yes, that's what people do the OTHER 5% of the time, just to get to the horizontal." 😮
(Thank you to my beautiful friend, RoxxyB, for joining me in my workout! Who knew she could lift all that weight! 😄 )

In this "New Normal" of the Pandemic, there's a lot of bad news. I'm glad to still have a job! but things are not completely serene there in these times either. Still, if I have to work from home, it's great to get to sit out in warm springtime sun and get kitty kisses during the lunch hour. Tikki was head-marking my glasses which is why they are awry and did give me a little kitty kiss... not in an area that suggests she was "looking for lunch leftovers on my face", either! So while it isn't a great portrait for me, at least I look happy and Tikki is as always a stunner. (Added to Happy Caturday 21 November 2020, theme “Love is Touch”).
