I still like trains too....
OK expressed some concern about my new interest in birds... Rest assured I still like the big iron machines! New Hope & Ivyland, RR, New Hope, PA.
LS- it´s easy with trains to know where they will go, just look for the tracks! Birds are a different story, and plants. Bird are unpredictable, and plants are not, except for the ones who apparates. :)
I learned something interesting yesterday, apropos iron. Our blood is red because it contains iron, but horseshoe crabs have blue blood based on copper! And softshell crabs have clear blood, but I don't know based on what metal.

Big iron birds - airplanes?
ReplyDeleteI really like this photo of the locomotive. How did you know it would come over the bridge?
What kind is it? Locomotive I mean.

ReplyDeleteI ma relieved - great to see some steam again. Iron is OK but the point is steam as far as I am concerned.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, if it ain't steam...I'm really just not that interested!
ReplyDeleteAre there any steamy birds? Yes, beer butt chickens!
