It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! I went to Colorado to see the Cumbres & Toltec Rwy Centennial Limited special train event celebrating Colorado's 150 birthday and America 250. They were going to run Locomotive 168, an 1883 restored engine and also double head with 463 which is an older locomotive as well and not run very often. I took this image on the day they were getting ready to double head. 168 is in the front with 463 behind.
It's a double digit day today! Also, it posted at 08 am! 😁 I was in Colorado last weekend and the first night was beautiful and clear so i decided to try out the Night Sky Capture feature on my phone. I thought it turned out fairly well for a phone.
It's Friday, TGIF! My Butterfly Bush or Buddleja is blooming and bringing in some small butterflies currently. I love it's little groups of flowers and find it a nice photography subject. This image was great for today due to the wonderful bubbly bokeh captured because Friday's Are bokehlicious!
I was out in Colorado and New Mexico for a special event that the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad was holding. While waiting for a train in Sublette, New Mexico I saw this little Chipmunk running around and captured this image of it while it posed on the rail.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is Chicory. Chicory is another in the Sunflower family and usually blooms July through September. Chicory is a harder one for me to get usually because the flower opens in the morning and then closes around noon. It will stay open longer on cloudy days and that is when I captured this one. It is drought hardy with a long taproot. I have this one growing in my yard.
Today's image is one from this Spring when the Cedar Waxwings were around and visiting my pond. This image is while a group of them were sitting in the Walnut tree in-between flying down and getting a drink.
Happy Monday and happy new week. My yellow Lilies are blooming. I find them lovely and make for a nice start to the week.
