It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog. Today's image goes back to last May and playing Live Steam trains at a friend's home. He had a get together and this locomotive is owned and operated by one of the people who were in town to play as well. It's a lovely black paint scheme of Southern Pacific locomotive 4449 which is also known as The Daylight. This is a G scale train.
I was at a meeting with a Kansas Extension Agent last week and saw this beautiful photograph in her office and was inspired. This is my version of that photo which is actually fairly close to how the tree was captured in the photo. This is a tree from Hershey Gardens in Pennsylvania with a few treatments on it including an infrared one.
It's Friday, TGIF! Friday's Are Bokehlicious and I have a very lovely bubbly bokeh picture for today. This is an image of my neighbor's Lily in bloom from this past June as well as yesterday's image.
Thinking back to summer days and sightings of Dragonflies. This is a Common Whitetail Dragonfly I captured on a bike ride in late June. I like the wing patterns and shadow it made.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Still starting off the year with my favorites so today's flower is Sulphur Cinquefoil. It usually blooms in May and June. This one I have successfully gotten to grow in my yard. It can grow to 30 inches tall, this one was only about 15 inches tall or so. Deer like it so I have it protected with a cage around it.
Starting off the new year again with another of my favorite birds to capture in the wild, the Great Blue Heron. I enjoy capturing these birds partially because they are just interesting birds but also because they are such a challenge, at least in my area. This is how I normally get to capture them, they are flying away from me. 😏
Happy Monday and happy new week! Today's image is another of the snowflakes I was able to capture during a short snow last month. This is a 7 image stack.
