 It's Friday, TGIF!  Friday's Are Bokehlicious and I have a photo to share with my favorite bokeh, the bubbly kind, for today.  This is a Silver Spot Skipper on my Butterfly Bush or Buddleja this past summer.

 Today's image I was able to get during one of the recent snows as well.  This little Goldfinch looked quite cold and was puffed up against it while sitting in the River Birch tree outside my window.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday!  Today's flower is Ironweed.  It blooms in late summer and the bees and butterflies are magnets to it.  This image of it has an example of that with some bee bonus!  😀

 We have had a couple of small snows already and they even provided oportunities to get a few snowflake photos.  This one turned out pretty well I thought.  The angle I shot it at did not provide for much color, it made it appear fairly clear.  I was happy that I got the majority of it in focus.  It is a stack of 5 images.

 Happy Monday!  I planted some miniature Alliums in my garden railroad not knowing at the time how much they spread.  Not sure it was such a good idea now but I do enjoy their blooms as do the bees and butterflies.  This is a shot I got of a trio of them that I rather liked.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  This is the Porter tank style locomotive that I got to have a shift on this past year at the Western Minnesota Steam Thresher's Reunion.  It's a great small locomotive that they got running again after some issues and were hauling a train around the grounds in addition to 353.  Here it was loading passengers at the stop by the water tank.

 Last November was a great month for some stunning sunrises and sunsets.  This is a gorgeous sunrise I was treated to one morning on the way to work in the early part of the month.
