A new species for me - the Common Wood Nymph (Cercyonis pegala) like this one in bugguide: bugguide.net/node/view/1257325/bgimage
This butterfly was exceedingly friendly and landed on me several times. Colors can vary a lot for members of this species. Even though this one was essentially just very dark brown, it came off as looking like the finest dark chocolate.
====Gotham City- The Big Day====
For the past eight days, Gotham has been at the mercy of an unseen killer. Day after day the death toll has risen. Only some of us know who's the perpetrator- Julian Day. The Calendar Man. In spite of this, life continued as always. People got up, got dressed, and went to work. But something was off. All around the city we felt one thing- Dread. Everyone knew it was coming. That the same pyschopath terrorising the city for the past eight days would strike again. But nothing happened. No bald eagles or mastiffs. No acid baths or deafening noises. People started to relax. Maybe he, whoever he was, gave up? Maybe he was dead. Nothing. And then everything.
It started two hours ago. At exactly 18:00, rush hour, gas canisters placed all across Gotham erupted, releasing fear gas everywhere. Victims of the City of Fear broke down immediately. There were riots, trampling as people ran to cover. It may be Make Your Dream Come True Day, but in actuality it's more of a nightmare. Creatures, nightmarish, monsters crawled out of the sewers to attack. My first thought was that they were more hallucinations, but they felt so much more real. When they attacked, buildings fell. When they roared, the ground shook. Gotham has often been called Hell on Earth, but tonight it feels like it. Tonight, we're alone.

==Butchinsky's, three hours prior==
Faraday- Stay here, I might need back-up
*They call this place Butchinsky's, a bar for the low level crooks here to gather. Our last appointment of the night. If anyone knows something about Day, it'll be Fiasko- everyone we've talked to this afternoon mentioned this watering-hole, as though it's the heart of their little community. We knock on the door and enter. Mopping the countertop is the bartender, Fiasko himself- dressed like a deranged pencil with an oversized bow-tie wrapped around his neck*
Faraday- Leonard Fiasko?
*The Eraser nods*
Len- Len.
Faraday- Agent King Faraday, I'd like to talk about one of your customers
Len- Which one? Believe me, I've got quite the list. To start, Artie is a cheapskate who won't pay his tab, Blake is a money maker, if only for all the drinks he buys his dates, Chuck is a good enough guy but he won't touch the strong stuff, Walker is a lightweight, wine for his missus... and Gar's surprisingly pretentious. Fireball. The heck even is that?
Faraday- I was actually talking about Julian Day.
Len- Oh. Well he likes cocktails-
Faraday- No, that's not... How would you describe mr Day?
*Eraser continues mopping the counter, talking as he does so*
Len- Pays his tab, what else can you ask for
====Brown Cottage====
*Charles Brown, Kite-Man answers almost immediately, watering his potted plant and sipping his herbal tea*
Chuck- Well that's easy, quiet. Keeps to himself mostly
====Clayton's Steakhouse====
*The country music behind us blares. Sharp leans in close, barbecue sauce smeared on his face, still chewing on his ribs*
Chancer- Wuwian Way? *swallows* He's a bumbling loser. He's a joiner, not a leader
====Gotham Circus====
*Blake signs a few autographs, then strokes his panther, Sasha he calls it, affectionately, laughing heartily*
Blake- Jules? A barrel of laughs. Though they're usually at his expense.
====Crazy Quilt's====
*Paul Dekker grabs us a drink. I know his reputation, so I politely decline*
Dekker- Julian, let me tell you about Julian! Simply marvelous my dear. Marvelous. Like your friend, Miss-?
====Butchinsky's====
Faraday- Has he ever displayed any violent tendencies?
Len- Nah, no. Sure, there's been plenty of bar fights, but never Julian
Chuck- No. Never. Has something happened?
Chancer- Heh. Guy wouldn't hurt a fly.
Blake- Violent? He's a dainty flower!
Dekker- Nope. Very delicate.
====Butchinsky's====
Faraday- That will be all Mr Fiasko.
*Eraser ignores me as I leave, still stacking shelves as the door closes*
Armstrong- Well did you get anything?
Faraday- Not a thing. That's our sixth visit, and not one of them has had a clue about Day.
Armstrong- They're covering for him.
Faraday- It's a possibility, yes, but I'm not so sure. Listen, It's nearly rush hour, I better get back to the office. Need a lift?
====Inside====
*I hear the pigs leave, and immediately I jump under the table, muttering "shit!" as I look for the shotgun. Jules you fucking idiot. I grab the bullets, then run out the backdoor*

Week 2 - Broken
8 -14 January
Prepare for a story to tug at your heartstrings:
Our family has a bit of a reputation for embracing the 'waifs and strays' of life, as demonstrated by a visit to the local garden centre recently, in search of some potting compost and pond cleaner.
My daughter is looking around the garden ornaments, gnomes, clay pots and the like, and spots this poor specimen of a pot decoration amongst its noble cousins who, unlike this creature, are sat atop sticks (inserted into a rather personal area of their anatomy, it has to be said) so that they can be stuck into a plant pot, with the intention, I assume, to add fun to whatever is growing alongside it. (Have to say I've never felt the need to add a plastic animal to my fuschia or dahlias, but there you go......)
Needless to say, out of all the able-bodied Chihuahuas she could have selected, we had to have this poor stick-less three-legged thing, in the spirit of 'rescuing' it.
Presenting it to the cashier, I assumed she would say Oh you can have it for free, seeing as it's broken and not exactly 'fit for purpose'. But no, she insisted we should have to pay a pound for it!
No matter, good deed done for the day, a happy daughter, and a rescued three limbed chihuahua now sits on the windowsill.

Description •
Cottage-2 of approximately 300 such gingerbread cottages situated on an old Methodist Campground in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. Today the Campground is a community of summer residents and a smaller number of year-round residents who value the intimacy created by the crowding of cottages on small tent lots. Many of the cottages have been owned by the same families for generations.

My third version of the Leopard 2 tank. I have made the chassis a little longer, improvements on the front and added one more grenade launcher on the sides.
Hope you like it!

Talos No. 2 is a 1977 sculpture by artist James Lee Hanson and is located on SW 6th Avenue and Stark Street in downtown Portland. You will find Talos No. 1 in Fresno California, of all places, and it was created in 1961. Talos takes its name from ancient Greek mythology. According to the Greeks, Talos was a large bronze man given to King Minos of Crete by Zeus to serve as a watchman over the Agean island. You may be familiar with Ray Harryhausen's scary Talos in his classic film "Jason and the Argonauts". - www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxA3wFYxUB8

Time to get cracking again after nearly a month off.
There will probably be a great deal of going over old ground but hopefully it will yield some images I'm proud of come the end.

232 103-2 of Raildox with an DGT MOW train at Magdeburg-Sudenburg station
We were blessed with a rainstorm that lasted from Friday night until Saturday afternoon around 2:00 pm. This was taken from my front porch into one of the trees in my front yard. I have so much to learn with this lens and thanks to Paul Rioux I think I will be better next time. (I think I was using Sports Mode because of the wind.)
