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.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is from the 23rd when the Big Boy 4014 was rolling into Junction City, Kansas. It was going to stop there for about 10 minutes or so for a bit of a maintenance check. The locomotive and train were heading home to Cheyenne Wyoming after is 250 Celebration trip out east. It's such a cool locomotive to see, so big in person.
I have video HERE of it heading into Grantville and also as it headed into town here.
I was out on an evening bike ride this past week and was treated to a lovely sky. This is a view to the west over a large field for cattle.
It's Friday, TGIF! Dragonflies provide good opportunities for nice images and great bokeh as well. The latter part is important because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
