Post A Photo, A Real Photo

@backlash glad I could show you some kangaroos and wallabies but I must admit that seeing them in person is a great experience . So glad we are not in the fire zone either and we pray for all of those who are.

@Peanut glad the nurses love the kangaroo and wallaby pictures. Oh the baby in mum's pouch is out and about and I got a good photo of Mum with baby joey outside of the pouch today. It is still too little to be out of the pouch full time yet as it needs to get bigger and learn to forage for itself. I will try and post that photo tomorrow after I have edited it.

This is what it looks like when a train hauling corn springs a leak.

Golden Eagle or young Bald Eagle? When I lived in Washington I saw a lot of Golden Eagles and don't remember seeing a Bald Eagle, I also saw a fair amount of Osprey Eagles while fishing in lakes, down here in Oregon I see and hear a lot of them along the creek which flows through our valley, we've seen a number of Bald Eagles along the creek as well.

A few pics of ferry boats on Puget Sound, one showing the Olympic Mountains, where I lived on Dye's Inlet we could see the Olympic Range, when the snow was gone from them, we knew we could get to fishing lakes in the Cascade Mountains. The big mountain is Mt. Rainer, when I worked in Seattle I saw this every morning on the way to work, probably the only thing I liked about Seattle, that ferry boat is one of the newer ferries that I have never been on, it looks twice as long as the last newest ferry I rode in the mid 1960's.

This is my view of Rainier from my office (when it's not dark or cloudy...)

Huge Red Oak in my back yard

I've been on Mt. Rainer when there was better than 12 feet of snow on each side of the road, when I lived in Seattle I remember hearing weather reports of huge depths of snow up there. One time I went hiking with others from the church I was in on the east side of Mt. Rainer and that's where I saw the first wild turkey I've ever seen. In many ways I loved living in Washington, so many wonderful places to hike and fish, I've seen amazing wire gold that came out of a mine at Bluet Pass and have skied a number of times at Snoqualmie Pass ski area and over in Wenatchee, my dad told me that on the road up to the ski area a guy found gold at the base of an old apple tree. Some things were wonderful there, but I saw the politics really going bad back in the 1960's and early 1970's and I left.

I've seen a lot of things leak out of rail cars, but I've never seen it that deep. That hopper must have blown wide open...

A few years back I was working on the yard section gang in Des Moines, Iowa and a car full of beef tallow was kicked down the yard lead. The lead is the track with all the switches on in that turn the cars into the yard tracks. On its way down the lead, this tallow car blew a weld and thousands of pounds of tallow spewed out all over every switch stand on the lead. The stench was godawful. I had to do some work on the lead a few hours later and I puked my guts out. I had to chuck my boots. We ended up calling in a suck truck to vacuum up what they could...

Somewhere back in the 1960's I remember reading about a huge railroad spill of corn, seems to me it was in the north western states, the article mentioned the bears got into the spills after they had fermented and there was reports of drunk dangerous bears.

Cherry kolach, made by a woman in my Czech genealogy group. She made apricot, poppyseed, and cherry filled kolache. There were lots so we all got to take home a few. She also made potato dumplings, bread dumplings, kraut and pork loin for an early lunch. Yum, yum! Can't be low carb on a day like that. Kolach is singular, kolache, plural.

That pic reminds me of my Grandpa. He worked for Southern Railroad from the 40's till he retired. Started out with the coal fired trains, went thru the switch to diesil's. He always would go see a smoker anytime they were in the area.
