Square Perspective #31

It is only 8:30 pm CDT here in Chicagoland, so I’m still on time for the LAST (Boo hoo!) day of Becky’s Square Perspectives! Camouflage is nature’s way of helping animals protect themselves.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week continues with a series on vehicles that provide transportation, with the theme anything having to do with trains and railroads. Bailey’s Railyard in North Platte, Nebraska is the place to take an elevator to the top of what’s known as the Golden Spike. It isn’t golden and not much […]
