Yet another image from La Grange, Texas.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm working, but it doing a photo shoot so I'm OK with it. The company I worked for last year called me back again and ask if I would help them out during the holiday. Ha! Who turns down photography work..:)
These trees aren't budding yet but it won't be long. I did the processing with Topaz Studio. I don't really have the hang of it yet. There's a lot to learn and I now have limited time to play. The new Studio works really well with Lightroom. I like that because I like Lightroom better than Photoshop. Probably because I was trained on Lightroom. I have today and tomorrow off, so I'm hoping the weather is pretty
yet without some such "fantasy-cure," I should have never made it to this age:-)

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

With yet another pair of SD40-2s for power, 250 is seen racing the growing shadows at Parlin Stream curve in Long Pond. SD40-2 6067 has been added to the rotation of SD40s that have been powering the 250/251 jobs the last couple weeks, leading SD40-2 6024 in the later multimark-less action red.
Boats Waiting for Their Breath of Adventure
Maybe that’s the magic of mornings like this —
nothing moves, yet everything whispers.
The river, the fog, the wooden boats…
all waiting, patient and calm, ready for the next journey with a fishing rod or a curious child discovering the first secrets of the Korana.
Čamci što čekaju svoj dah avanture
U magli koja kao tanak veo prati jutra na KoranI, sve se stiša.
Čak i rijeka diše sporije, kao da ne želi poremetiti mir ovih starih čamaca što čekaju svoj dah avanture.
Jesenski tonovi uz obalu pretvaraju prizor u mekani akvarel — tišina u kojoj se može čuti i vlastita misao.
"I'd rather be a lover than a fighter, 'cause all my life i've been fighting.
Never felt a feeling of comfort, all this time I've been hiding.
I'm in need of a savior, but i'm not asking for favors, my whole life i've felt like a burden... I think so much and i hate it..
I'm tired of caring..."

It has been a long time to not see you. Around seven years and you came to my life again. Still want to carry me with you?
You took my life and happiness during the days it supposed to be happy. Now why you're back?
Thanks for rememberme the nightmare of being in the hole.
I can just give you three of my days but not all me...not yet.
Poinsettias.
Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Many plants in the Euphorbiaceae family ooze a milky sap. Some people with latex allergies have had a skin reaction (most likely to the sap) after touching the leaves. For pets, the poinsettia sap may cause mild irritation or nausea. Probably best to keep pets away from the plant, especially puppies and kittens.
Poinsettias are not poisonous. A study at Ohio State University showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have any harmful effect. Plus poinsettia leaves have an awful taste. You might want to keep your pets from snacking on poinsettia leaves. Eating the leaves can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think of as the flowers are actually colored bracts (modified leaves).
Poinsettias have also been called the lobster flower and the flame-leaf flower, due to the red color.
December 12th is Poinsettia Day, which marks the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1851.
In Mexico, the Poinsettia is displayed in celebration of the "Dia de la Virgen", which is also coincidentally, December 12th.
The Aztecs used the Poinsettia bracts to make a reddish purple dye for fabrics, and used the sap medicinally to control fevers.
This is another capture of Tofu on the kitchen table. I took while i waited for him to fall asleep as I needed a photo for the 'naptime' theme of the Happy Caturday group. For quite while he was too distracted to sleep due to bird activity in front of the backdoor but finally I got my photo of the sleeping Dragon too (which is the one I posted yesterday).
One more Bokeh Photo with Helios-103. The nature of bokeh changes very much closer to subject we got.
Muscari or Grape Hyacinth - the flower head is 2cm - usually not out for another few weeks and the only one that has been brave enough to surface in the garden as yet. Look closely and large and you can see a little star!! Happy Macro Monday Everyone :))
I spent a lovely morning wandering around Nymans gardens on Sunday, appreciating the cooler breeze. A lot of the flowers weren't too happy with the heatwave, but this Hydrangea was in the shade. Lensbaby Sol 22 with blades set to diagonal and using a +4 close up filter.

This photo was taken on our last night in Maui. It is taken at a little park behind Front St. in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. The image perfectly captures my mood... the reality of going home and yet caught up in the surreal beauty of this place. Aloha Maui... Maholo nui loa.
Met another Flickr photographer this evening.

The hills are a bit dry. No significant rain in a year. It will snow soon, so the remaining flora will at least have moisture.
Does 2020 suck shit? Yeah, but at least we still have some decent stuff running around on CSX. A quartet of EMDs provide the muscle for this evenings Q350 as it rolls up the Toledo Sub, passing the B&O bracket at South Ottawa.

To be honest I was not sure if this will happen... I had my sign about closing prepared,, but I decided to stay for a while yet. I closed Pigeon around start of December to be ready within a week, but I was full of doubts, no inspiration and power to change, start building from scratch. I thought it would be unfair to let it vanish. I'm still not sure when place will close, maybe after winter.. It's hard. But then I started to think what is characteristic for winter to me... and it's empty city , ambient , snow and frosty sunsets. Theme for Pigeon island winter is contrast, new and old.. all together. Get on the train in direction of Neverending sim:) I hope you will enjoy !
ps. corner the sim is my private home, even you might be kicked, please respect my privacy.
.... though infrared can make the world look so snow-laden 😊
We were walking round the loch at Fyvie castle - with sunshine, and the trees in full leaf in May.
Shot here in infrared with my Nikon D90 converted to shoot only in IR 720nm.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday! ;o)
