This last summer, back in Iowa, I accidently got a picture of a bat in flight. I thought it was pretty neato!

While we were at my parents yesterday just before sunday lunch we saw this small furry creature having its sunday lunch.
It was there for a good 20 mins chowing down

Yesterday, I took a drive and ended in E. Peoria looking across the Illinois River towards Peoria. I had my camera and took several pictures of the skyline and when I got home ... I combined three into something of a panorama shot. Originally 5487 x 1809 pixels ... it was too large to upload, so, I kept reducing it down until it was under 100K.
So, here it is, one of my first attempts at merging pictures into a panoramic shot ...
The second picture is of one of the smallest "tow boats" I've seen on the river. Kind of a misnomer since they really push the barges. Anyway. It was kind of cute.

Was actually just getting ready to PM you to post that panoramic shot on this one. Great minds huh?

Here's another panorama of two converging railroad tracks. There's actually five converging tracks, but to include them all took far, far too much space. Anyway, I thought it looked interesting.
I guess I'll add one more ... actually my first try ... just an open area in local park.

Great photos DB, the first one shot across the Illinois looked familiar to me. I've been by that way a time or two in years past

Yes, but exactly where and how do the tracks converge? *That's* the interesting part.

Just about where I was standing quietly minding my own business taking pictures when this rumble started and a loud whistle blew ... thinking it was some fair damsel flirting, I played it coy and closed my eyes .... (scene fades to black ...   ).

OMG that is good!
Reminds me of a friend of mine who always asked for "Whisker Biscuits and Gravy" when we'd go out for breakfast after a night at the bars. That moron got slapped by pretty much every waitress in the state.

I suspect this is an appeal to the wedge of the Australian psyche which relates to the drovers and stockmen, mainly itinerant animal musterers akin to the American "cowboy". The bush these men lived and worked in bore little resemblance to the female hall of companionship.
