Golden Mushrooms

 from flickr user Ren
While our Spring seems to have been delayed almost indefinitely this year, a sure sign of its steadfastness are mushrooms popping up wherever they find decaying material to feed on. These golden 'shrooms are probably poisonous but they sure are cool to look at.

Moore, Oklahoma tornado photos

I hesitate to actually post the photos from today's Moore, Oklahoma tornado outbreak because it is always gut wrenching when there is such massive destruction and loss of human life. However, these photos from the middle of tornado alley should serve as a reminder of just how violent summer storm in America's heartland can be and that tornadoes -- especially like those today in Oklahoma -- are serious and warnings are not to be taken lightly. When there is a tornado warning or the sirens are sounding, get to the basement immediately. Things can be replaced but a life cannot.

The photographer says: I went into Moore Oklahoma today to find my friend. This is right across the street from her house. I can't even begin to describe what I saw. So horrible. Pray for these families who were hit by the tornado.

History over the Red River - East Grand Forks, MN

from flickr user MinnKotaRailfan
The BNSF Grand Forks city job, led by a single BN GP30 rebuild, heads over the Red River of the North, with maintenance cars to be used for work out west. Behind the train is the Sorlie Bridge, built in 1929 to connect Grand Forks North Dakota to East Grand Forks Minnesota. Behind the Sorlie Bridge lies the center pier of a swing bridge built in the 1870's for the Great Northern railway. The bridge was removed in 2000 by the Army Corp of Engineers, and the pier stands as a memorial of the importance of railroads in North Dakota and Minnesota.
