I followed your comment on my blog to visit your side of the tracks. ;)

Thank you for letting me know the things that stood out in the photo and for your questions.

I think trains are special. It's like a connection between the past and present. Nice photo.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
