Steam with the K5 IIs
Hope I am not boring you guys with my fixation on old, steam locomotives. I can't help myself when it comes to these old engines. This one was taken as the old locomotive was just coming out of the barn in Grapevine, Texas. Steam was swirling everywhere and there was something about this one that I really liked.

. . . . . but spring in Texas with fields of Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brush is a sight to behold.
Thanks for your kind words, they are appreciated.

Photographs were taken south of route 20, west of I5 between Mt. Vernon & LaConner, WA this past Saturday. Saturday and Sunday were just two beautiful days up here in the great Northwest!
I wasn't too far off. My wife and I have made many trips to the Cascades via I-5 to 20 through Mablemount. Many evenings before the flight home at Rockport State Park - a wonderful site.

. . . . . on Saturday night there was Strawberry Shortcake, and Sunday there was a Strawberry Rhubarb pie, last night some more strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream, and tonight blueberries, strawberries, and melon for desert after dinner!

A trip across Route 20 over to Winthrop is fantastic, especially on a motorcycle!
Originally from the east coast, moved here in 1996 and the Northwest certainly won over my heart. It is beautiful!

A hummingbird outside my front door early this evening.

Street theatre in Moscow park. Some toning.
I've made that trip (not in a motorcycle though); the climate difference on the eastern side is dramatic and occurs over such a short distance as to be startling.
Re: Steam with the K5 IIs
Hi Jim,
Definitely a good idea and something I hope to do.
Can be a bit of a hit or miss subject matter to travel to on this side of the pond though(I don't know how it is with you),due to the switch away from coal and onto biofuel and the limited allowable running hours that a lot of stations have had imposed upon them and thus timing the visit. No real coherent energy policy here it seems to me.But that's a whole different box of frogs!
Regards
Malcolm
