It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! This is another image from last year of the Porter and the 353 sitting outside the roundhouse while we had our safety meeting. I'll be up there soon to help out around the area but won't really work with these two locomotives till Labor Day weekend during the annual show.
It's a double digit day! 😀 Today's image is an older one I had taken of a nice sunset with my drone. It is overlooking our huge high school complex.
It's Friday, TGIF! We have been having rain lately which has been good as were incredibly dry. I took this image of raindrops hanging off Cedar trees on last Saturday morning. I loved the bokeh in this image and so I am sharing it for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious.
One day recently, while on a bike ride, there was a friendly horse up near the road. It allowed me to get a few photos so I picked some nice green grass for it and fed, I think it was a her, as a thank you.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one that I find quite photogenic. This is Musk Thistle which blooms May through August and is part of the Sunflower family. It is considered a noxious weed in many states because it can spread very rapidly and will form dense groups that keep other plants from growing. It is very easy to spread and can reproduce even after being cut down. I find the leaves very geometrically appealing. I should have used this image for Friday as the Bokeh is fantastic. 😁
Today's image is one that I took a while back of a bird I see fairly often all year. This is a Red Tail Hawk which are very common in my area of Kansas. They can be easily identified in flight by the short black band on the underside of the wing that you can see in the photo. When they are just sitting, they appear similar to a couple of other hawks, the Red Shoulder and the Sharp Shinned.
Happy Monday and happy new week! My water Lilies have started blooming and looking lovely in my small backyard pond. I captured these two together recently.
