Racoon Paws


Saturday brought another big Steam Up of Roots of Motive Power. Every year, progress is evident and additional pieces of equipment are demonstrated. This was the Estep Diesel yarder, sometimes visited by furry friends.

What a combination! So glad you sighted those footprints.

John says your photo reminds him of this painting. (Sans paws, I presume.)

Thanks, Dina. I love the signs of life I can find among the cold, thoughtless machines.

Petrea, tell John thanks for that link and flattering comparison. I took hundreds of photos Saturday, and I'm still trying to process the useful ones. The event really is a goldmine for old industry compositions. The Sheeler image I most recall is of an airplane propeller. I think that's how I would paint, if I painted.
