 It's Valentine's Day!  Happy Saturday as well.  This is an artsy image of the roses I received last year.  Sometimes roses don't last very long but these were a good bunch and lasted well over a week.

 TGIF, It's Friday!  It is also Valentine's Day for those who celebrate.  This is a rose with some delightful bokeh behind it because as you may know if you follow the Blog, Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 Happy Monday!  Happy Valentine's Day as well!  I chose this image of some lovely Roses I received a couple of years ago.  I added in the background bokeh in post.  😀

 Happy Valentine's Day!  Doing something different today because it is also Steamy Sunday so it's a 2-fer.  😁

I had to share a rose photo today since it is Valentine's Day.  Hope those who celebrate have a lovely day.

I am back in the archives to the day in November of 2019 when the Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive came through our town on it's Excursion run through the Midwest.  This locomotive is one of 3 types that claim to be the largest ever used by railroads.  This claim can be very debatable, it depends a lot on how you claim it's the largest, by weight, by tractive effort which can be debated as well, by horse power, etc.  The ones in the US generally considered to be the largest are, the UP Big Boy a 4-8-8-4, the Northern Pacific Yellowstone a 4-8-8-4 as well, and the Chesapeake & Ohio Allegany a 2-6-6-6.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate.  Happy Hump Day to all.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate!  Last year I received this lovely bunch of roses.  At that time we had snow so I took them outside to photograph.  On this image I processed in a high key manner so it wiped out the details of the snow.  I received some roses this year as well and have some ideas on how to process them.  Fun to play.  :-)
