Description
I was going to upload a photo from last nights Graduation ceremony, but haven't really 'prepped' them yet. It was a nice ceremony ... lousy seating .. but I got through it, somehow. lol
Almost at the school, I realized a) I forgot the tickets and b) my son. Not the graduate, but I forgot Ben. I couldn't believe it. We got there early so hubby went back to gather up the tickets and Ben lol and came back. Meanwhile, I took pictures of my son & his friends.
I found a seat in the auditorium when shortly afterwards, realized I didn't have my wallet. I couldn't believe how scatter brained I was. I did find it at the doorway of the place, I had set it on the table when I was changing lenses on my camera. Jeez ... Then, when the ceremony began, they started off with a speaker, one of the students got up there and I don't even remember what she said. lol Then they started a video tape -- of the Class of 2008 kids, back when they were just in KINDERGARDEN. I said "oh my god, I'm gonna cry.." The lady behind me handed me some kleenex; I didn't know her at all. What a sweet lady; even though her kleenex smelled of the worst stale cigarette smoke I had ever smelled in my life; and I used to smoke myself! .... lol, anyway, I opted to let my tears dry on my cheeks :)
Now I ramble... Sorry. Here's another shot of the train, only it is much closer. Some of you sounded concered I might be risking my life for these train shots. No, I have a lot to live for yet, so I'm very careful .. I was just stuck at a RR-Xng at the time. I rolled my window down and snapped the pictures. :)
Thanks for stopping by .. If you've read this far .. shucks .. thank you. :)

Yes, another beautiful train shot and wonderful sky background!
Very dramatic skies you realized with the treatment and excellent colors. I hope things are better now after the emotional outing, hugs!
What do you mean if we got that far, I always read to the end, then all the coments weather 12345678 many pages then I read the picture. Lol. Then I start my comment, but by this time I have forgotten what the picture looks like so I have to go back for another look. Yesterday I jumped out of bed ran(thats a laugh)Hobbled down stairs and rang the hospital in a panic, it was an answer phone. I left a message, Pauline came in and asked whats the matter, I told her and she then informed me it was Sunday not Monday. Now I ramble. Glad the graduation went smoothly as always, you should have learned by now, what you experienced was normal. Lol. Super train pic, I know Mick will love it, I prefer steam trains myself, but this is a cracking close shot, love the composition, the space to the right giving the train space to move, an escape route if you like. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
