Is anyone else craving beans, or is it just me?!

Very nice, Robert, I think you’re doing just fine without your computer! 🙂
In the meantime, I’m still trying to figure out my new phone. 😦
What is going on… I swear I left a reply here, earlier! I swear technology hates me, S.E! As does my memory! I wish I could remember what it was I’d said now… hmm…
😦
I’m beginning to think we are somehow related Robert. 🙂
Ah! Maybe so!
🙂
The sound of one hand slapping a computer.
“Ah, The photograph.
So beautiful to behold.

Do not deny me this now.
My reply fades to noth……..g.”

Hahaha… at this point it might be two hands, two elbows, and two feet. And probably a forehead (at this point I’m thinking throwing a head-butt or two at that box might be cathartic…)
🙂
Intagram?!
This one is ‘Instagram’… some of mythe phone processed ones are also ‘Pixlr Express’… or some combination of those…
🙂
Nice! I think you’re managing well with your phone! Most phone cameras nowadays are better than my first digital camera anyways.
By the way, I definitely don’t feel like beans. However, that might be because I have this thing where I get sick from any kind of beans, even if I don’t know that they’re in the food. In kindergarden I was forced to eat all my beans, a whole plate full of green beans and it made me terribly sick. Since then I just can’t have any kind of beans. It’s like Pavlov’s dog, just with beans and the opposite effect. Well, I don’t like them anyway, so that’s not so bad 😉
That’s true, I guess! It is a very handy tool, I just get all cranky when all my tools aren’t all at my disposal… kind of greedy of me, really, I guess. 😦
You know, I’m kind of like that with bananas! I wasn’t forced to eat a whole bunch of them, or anything… I just happened to get sick after I had been eating them, and now I really don’t like them very much… unless they are in banana creme pie, or a banana-split, of course! 😉
I just made a huge pot of ham and bean soup last night 🙂
Nice photo!
OM NOM NOM NOM (or, should I say, sluuuuuuuuurp?)!
Why, thank you very much!
🙂
Are you posting from a phone, Robert? I’ve tried that and it’s no picnic….I’ll commend you for that! And for this awesome photo of a freight train. Some mornings when I wake I feel like I’ve been hit by one…lol
You have a great week! 🙂
Fortunately I’ve been able to borrow Annabelle’s computer to do posting, etc. (it’s just that hers won’t run my Photoshop / Illustrator – or talk to our scanner – or my DSLR)… still… a very big help, though, of course!
Hahaha… I know that feeling! In fact, I’d say that MOST mornings I feel that way! Wishing you a non-train-flattened week, Deb!
🙂
Ahaha, not what you said about Annabelle’s computer, but what you wished me…lol
Have a good one! 🙂
How cool! The train is boy’s dream.
Thank you very much, sir!
I have been pretty much fascinated by trains for even longer than I can remember!
🙂
great pic!
Thank you very much, S.F!
🙂
Wow SiG, there’s a song in this! Beautiful shot, makes me want to jump on board but without the beans!
Aw, thanks, Ms. K! I was thinking very nearly the same thing (only I was planning on bringing beans, you know)!
🙂
Cool perspective, and I love the colors. The electrified third rail of the NYC subway and the stories of instant death if you touch it have probably scared me off railways forever, so I’m living vicariously. Also, I can’t picture which “Sunny” episode this is from, and I think I’ve seen them all ten times!
Thanks, U.M… go figure… give me a camera and I’ll be rolling around with it on the ground in no time (good thing I didn’t have to worry about any high-voltage issues)!
I think I’ve seen most Sunny’s about that many times, too! This quote is from, ‘Mac and Charlie Die’… when Mac’s Dad gets paroled and they’re trying to fake their own deaths because they’ve just testified against him. 🙂
I’ve not seen this show yet, but it’s on my list. I hear it’s a cult classic. Do you think it’s on par with Arrested Development?
I really do… but in a VERY different way, of course! While A.D. is often very subtle and almost take some work to relate them to previous episodes, etc. Sunny is just in your face irreverent… it’s admittedly not for everyone, but I do REALLY like it… particularly a lot of the earlier episodes.
🙂
So I was thinking a little more about this…
I should probably have mentioned you really can’t take anything on sunny TOO seriously – at some point anything and everything is up for grabs, and it could be easy for anyone to get upset otherwise.
Also I think I should take back what I said about particularly liking some of the earlier material, because there’s plenty of good stuff in every season AND if you go back too far you miss out on Danny DeVito’s character, Frank – who is priceless, I think.
🙂
Danny Devito is in the series? That seals the deal. It’s going on my queue! 🙂
He does a fantastic job… I think the quote that sums up his character fairly well: “I don’t know how many years on this earth I got left. I’m gonna get real weird with it…”
🙂
Wonderful colours! Looks authentically 70’s, and I’m sure those beans are not far away!! 😀
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you very, very much!
Hahaha… I’ll get my spoon ready!
🙂
Oh this evokes different feelings the longer I look at it. was first struck by a feeling of the west circa late 1800’s; the track featured in the foreground. Then the colors hit in a different way and the modern items came into a different kind of focus.
Just love the combination of bright colors and sepia. Your views always make me smile and turn this head in amazement. xo
You are always so ridiculously kind to me, Ms. B! Thank you!
I’ve always been kind of fascinated by ‘railroad stuff’. Another area I dream about photographing with a wet-plate set-up someday… and ‘circus stuff’, and…
🙂
Robert, I think this is one of my favorites. Or, do I say that every time? This one is especially cool. I love the style of this one, the close up of railroad, the blurry sky. It’s a beauty!! Style is probably the wrong word, but you know, I like it!
Style sure works for me, Amy! But more than anything I’m just very happy to hear you liked it! I’ve always kind of liked trains… I feel like there are a million photos in each one! 🙂
Did you get a shot as it went over you SIG, a curious Loon wants to know 😉
Hahaha… I think I might have got a shot in…
the train got a better one, though.
🙂
Yay trains! I hope it was stopped. Moving trains do not make good playmates.
Trains are pretty cool, aren’t they, Binky?
Absolutely! I like watching trains at work, too – but I definitely do that from a distance! Safety first, you know!
🙂
Yes, trains are very cool. And you take some great shots of them.

Nice! The perfect opportunity to show off my ‘snapping’! That doesn’t always happen, you know!
And of course! Thank you very much, Nancy!
🙂
Love this photo, have a fondness for trains.
I’m very happy to hear that, Patti – thank you! Me, too!
🙂
beans? not too keen on them if they are the dried variety. not the most favourite I’ve ever seen. but fresh steamed garden beans with a little bit of butter (butter on vegetables becomes non-fat, right?), those are soon has-beens once they land on my plate 🙂
and what a brilliant angle for this image. thanks for sharing. you are doing amazing stuff without your computer, creating images that would maybe otherwise not have found their way here if all the technology were as it should be. yet even so, hope it all gets sorted out for you soon!
Oooo… fancy! Seriously, though… yes… difficult to top fresh garden beans! I have to admit I also do like the canned ones that come bobbing around in various sauces. Sometimes I like to eat them straight out of the can (half of the fun in that is the look of shock on poor Annabelle’s face, of course)!
I know some photographers who work primarily (if not exclusively) with a phone, and they always impress me. It’s not exactly my area of expertise, though (not that I have one, but…), so I’ve been worried a bit about not mixing things up a bit more here (like I used to)… so your comment was particularly nice to hear, P&K… thank you very, very much for that!
🙂
Terrific trainspotting. : )
Why, thank you! Very much!
🙂
Ahhhhh, the memories of hopping freight trains, and eating beans and wieners with the hobos around a campfire.
Hahaha… I’m a bit relieved to hear it’s not just me! 😉
Low down and beautiful SIG. Great shot.
Many thanks, Astra! Have camera, any camera, will crawl around in dirt!
🙂
Love the picture. I can just hear “The Big Rock Candy Mountain” in the background. I was born too late…I think I would have made a good hobo.
Thanks, Bo! That song reminds me of the movie ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’…
Sometimes I feel the very same way!
🙂
Were you humming “I been working on the ra-a-a-ilroad, all the live-long day!” while crafting this?
Hahaha… I tried to… but then Simon Cowell jumped out of the train and threw a can of beans at me…
🙂
Nice angle on this one Robert.
Hey get off the track you crazy photographer, there’s a train coming!!!
Hahaha… now that you mention it, I think I did feel a bit of a bump…
many thanks, Mr. M!
🙂
Awesome shot. Hobos bandanas are like a magicians top hat. Lol
Hahaha… and now… I’ll make this can of beans disappear!
🙂
Beans?? This photo and post reminded me of this song(sorry about the poor quality):
This is a brilliant piece of artistry and as for the beans I can eat them morning noon and night, they are that good 🙂 lol Mind you it can get a tad breezy after a few days with that choice of diet but hey who cares, i have a peg and cork handy just in case 🙂 lmao Have a great rest of Thursday SIG 🙂
Hahaha… well, I guess there is a danger in just about anything, isn’t there, Andro? I’ll have to remember to keep the boxcar door cracked a bit… just as a precaution, of course!
🙂
Very nice picture 🙂 I miss trains so much, here in Iceland we don’t have any… your photo makes me a dreamer …
Why, thank you! 🙂 I didn’t realize there weren’t trains in Iceland – I never would have guessed! That almost seems kind of sad, in a way.
Blue sky always my favorite. 😀 It seems that blue sky has cheering effect.
There does seem to be something about blue skies that’s uplifting… I definitely agree with you, Cristina!
🙂
Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart….
Love the depth of field here, Inky.
HA! I think I hear where this one is going…
Wish I could take more credit for that… (I added a bit of blur, but with the point-and shoot most of the shooting gets shot for you, of course).
🙂
love the photo! and that’s too funny, just watched that episode last night!!
Awesome! Hahaha… yeah, I really like that episode… sorry for the short response, but my teeth seem to keep falling out…
🙂
