Bad train movies, etc. in These titles mean nothing.

Last Sunday, Easter, Jim took me to Reno Bottoms. It was a cool, breezy day and it was pleasant to be outside and moving. The place itself was exquisite, but it always is. We walked all the way to the end of the dam on the other side of the river.

I of course took a bunch of pictures. It’s funny, because Reno Bottoms pictures always look the same. Water, sky, motion thereof, power lines, emptiness and nature.

Part of what you get when you are out in the river is train music. The railroad on the Wisconsin side is very busy. There are trains going in both directions. I think we counted ten of them. It’s tempting to try to take their pictures. I just have a little point and shoot camera and it’s not my favorite camera. Long time readers will remember WCC, Walmart’s Cheapest Camera, which I honor as my best camera. That was either the one I washed in the washing machine or the one I closed in the car door. I had a rough time with cameras for a while. The current camera is not my favorite but it seems to be lucky because I’ve been using it for quite a few years now.

I’m tossing these pics up in no particular order.

Here’s a heavily zoomed shot of black locomotives - the town is Genoa.

Here is the first movie that came up after uploading to Photobucket. The others say they are being processed and if they show up before I go to work, I’ll put them up too. Otherwise, I’ll do it when I get home this afternoon.

Not sure if movie will work. I usually do movies in Youtube, but I thought I’d try Photobucket this time, and I’m not sure how to embed them here. Damn. Experimentation. Oh heck.

Here’s a direct link, which may or may not work either.

Try this one.

Talking experiments. Here is pic of the bench at the first bend of the walkway.

It’s the only furniture on the whole place trail. It faces the water and it’s chained down. This time someone had modified it. Not the rock under the front far leg. Also note the piece of four by four in front of the close end of the bench. When sitting on the bench with your foot on the four by four, you can rock. In other words, some creative mind has made the stationary bench into a rocking bench. Quite functional and comfortable.

A nest of Easter eggs:

They are escaped helium balloons come back to earth.

And peace:

And finally, here is a pic of my Fitbit screen for the day.
