Very dreary and drizzly out today.  Sunflowers make me happy with their bright sunny faces.  These are some from the field in Minnesota that I found still blooming in late August.  Sharing them to brighten up the dreary day.

Yikes it is cold again.  Sigh.  Highs in only the teens and 20s F after a 70 degree day.  I am so looking forward to spring!  Anyway, my image today is from the Great Bend Kansas Air Show from last September.  I captured 2 of my favorite WWII fighter planes flying past the field.  These are a P-40 Warhawk and a P-51 Mustang.

We had a bit of spring and are now heading back into winter and cold temps.  Sigh.  It is starting out dreary as well so I wanted something bright.  I was lucky this year and had a lot of Monarch visitors in my garden.  It was great to see them enjoying the flowers I planted for them.  This is one that was enjoying a Sunflower bloom.

It's unseasonably warm here today which worries me a bit because of the plants and we are heading back into some pretty cold temps again this week.  My daffodils look like they took the bitter freeze OK so we shall see how everything does.
My image today is again from the Wye in Chama and the Cumbres & Toltec train is turning around on it to get ready for the morning trip.  In this image you can see part of the Wye track which as I explained last week, actually forms a type of closed off Y which allows the train to change direction.

Happy Groundhog Day.  He wouldn't see his shadow here as we are cloudy and dreary at the moment.  I am sure there is more winter on the way no matter what.  My image today is from a lovely day in late August of a Sunflower field in Minnesota.  This is a 3 shot panorama. The clouds were great that day and added some drama.

Well, we finally made it to February.  January was long it seemed even though I didn't have to work a full week through most of it.  My image today is of a lovely perfect newly emerged Echinacea or Cone Flower bloom from my garden this past summer.

Yikes, posting late again.  I had to get a new hard drive for my computer and I was busy setting that up.  Fortunately I had warning so I was all backed up.  Be sure to back up because you don't always get warning.  This is a Bumblebee on Golden Banner Wildflowers in New Mexico.
