Guiding Lights With light falling fast, NS 14Z came hurtling north through Lynnwood and reached us at the N&W signals at Lewis Run, Virginia. These aging US&S signals were ones I had previously thought had come down, but it turned out that CP Lynnwood, the south end of this siding, were the signals that had fallen instead. Save for the addition of the PTC antenna, little at Lewis Run had changed since my visit the year prior. Still, these signals have little time left as replacements strike down more and more of the N&W veterans. Later this same night, after the remnants of the falling suns light had dissipated, we set up for star trails here. It was a long, long night at these signals to say the least! ...and that also caps off 2023. Quite the year, suffice to say. Fewer photos this year, but big things in the personal life. Pretty wild year. I wonder what's in store for next year... who knows!

Painted Lady in Virginia [Explored] (Second of two) This Painted Lady, <i> Vanessa cardui, </i> is the same individual in the previous image in my photostream. Based on the condition of the wings, it must have just eclosed. This species, which, migrates north from Mexico into the U.S. is known to breed throughout its migration. Some years few make it to the eastern U.S. Hillandale Park area, Harrisonburg, Virginia. October 10, 2023.
