Day 96.
I had to get up a bit earlier this morning because the car was coated in solid ice, and by the time I'd scraped and defrosted I found I was five minutes earlier than usual so I decided that I'd see if the cows that I pass on the way to work every morning were in their field.
They were! I've taken photos of this field last year in similarly frosty conditions but I love these mornings when it's frosty or misty or both.
I've also been fed up not getting any outdoor photos for a while, so this killed two birds with one stone.
As usual I couldn't decide which of the several photos to use so I've posted them all.
I'm pretty sure this is Enid Marsh (Aunty Paddy), because.
1) It's with the same set (and noted location) at the other Marsh photos and must be one of Henry and Elizabeth's children.
2) It's not Peter as we know what he looks like as a baby.
3) There is another baby picture that looks very much like Clarissa.
4) That leaved Enid. And it looks like it could be her.
That means this was taken in 1891.
This photo satisfy requirement 2. It took the photo of Suzzallo and Allen Libraries at night, so I used 18.0mm focal length that can approxiately include the whole structure of the building in front. I set self-timer mode to avoid any movement in the camera on the tripod during 6.0s exposure time.
Clandon Park House is an early 18th-century grade I listed Palladian mansion in West Clandon, near Guildford in Surrey.[2]
It stands in the south east corner of Clandon Park, a 220-hectare (540-acre) agricultural parkland estate which has been the seat of the Earls of Onslow for over two centuries. The house and gardens were gifted to the National Trust in 1956,[3] but the rest of the park remains in private ownership.[4] Some of the house's contents have also been acquired by the Trust in lieu of estate duty.[5]
Construction of the house, designed by Italian architect Giacomo Leoni, began about 1730, and the interiors were finished by continental sculptors and plasterers in the 1740s. It replaced an Elizabethan house. The park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1781, and there are two formal gardens on either side of the house. Nearby is a Māori meeting house, one of only three outside New Zealand, that was brought to England in the late 19th century. After being transferred to the National Trust, the house underwent restoration before it was opened to the public, and later became a wedding venue and filming location for period dramas.
The house was badly damaged by fire in April 2015, probably caused by an electrical fault in the basement, leaving it "essentially a shell". Thousands of historic artefacts, paintings, and items of furniture were lost in what has been described as a national tragedy. In January 2016, the National Trust announced that some of the principal rooms on the ground floor would be fully restored to the original 18th-century designs, and upper floors will be used for exhibitions and events.
History[edit]
The estate and Elizabethan house, together with Temple Court Farm at Merrow, was purchased in 1641 from Sir Richard Weston of nearby Sutton Place,[6] by Sir Richard Onslow, MP for Surrey in the Long Parliament and great-grandfather of Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow, who rebuilt it. Many members of the Onslow family followed political careers; three of them, including Arthur Onslow, were Speakers of the House of Commons. Their portraits would later hang in the Speaker's Parlour at Clandon House.[7]

The house was built, or perhaps thoroughly rebuilt, in about 1730–33 (the latter date is on rainwater heads) by Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow to the design of the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni. It is a rectangular building of red brick and stone dressings. Clandon House interiors, completed in the 1740s, featured a two-storey Marble Hall, containing marble chimney pieces by the Flemish sculptor Michael Rysbrack, and a rococo plasterwork ceiling by Italian-Swiss artists Giuseppe Artari and Bagutti.[8]
Clandon Park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1776–81, replacing a French garden and transforming part of a disused canal into an ornamental lake.[9] A porte-cochère was added to the principal facade in 1876. A sunken Dutch garden was created by Frances, Countess of Onslow at the north front of the house in the late 19th century. In 1895, the house was investigated for paranormal activity by the Marquess of Bute and Ada Goodrich Freer on behalf of the Society for Psychical Research. During World War I, the Onslow family created and managed a hospital in Clandon House for the war injured.
Wondabyne is a small railway station located next to Mullet Creek, which connects 6km down to the Hawkesbury River. The stations platforms are only a few metres long and it is the other station in Australia that has no road access.
The station appears to be only used by those doing water activities on the adjacent creek (there is a pontoon next to Platform 1, the creek side), and those bushwalking through the escarpment next to Platform 2).
It is quite a walk to the nearest road.
The lighthouse was built in 1874 with lumber from California redwoods.[2] It was designed by Paul J. Pelz who also designed Point Fermin's sister stations, East Brother Island Light in Richmond, California, Mare Island Light, in Carquinez Strait, California (demolished in the 1930s), Point Hueneme Light in California (replaced in 1940), Hereford Inlet Light in North Wildwood, New Jersey, and Point Adams Light in Washington State (burned down by the Lighthouse Service in 1912), all in essentially the same style. In 1941, the light was extinguished due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There was fear that the light would serve as a beacon for enemy planes and ships.[2] The original fourth order Fresnel lens was removed in 1942. The lighthouse was saved from demolition in 1972 and added to the National Register of Historic Places.[3] The light fell into disuse and disrepair and the lantern room and gallery were removed. The site was refurbished in 1974 including a new lantern room and gallery were built by local preservationists in 1974.[2] A wood replica lantern was also installed.
The wooden walkway has several advantages over a dirt floor:
1) The flat, wide surface makes it easy to move wheelbarrows of cacao in and out
2) It's accessible for disabled visitors
3) The spaces between boards and on either side make it easier to clean
4) It's pretty :)
Note that the drying decks are only about 1.5 feet above the walkway, making it easier for staff to get into the decks to rake the beans.
The main structure on Manoel Island, which lies opposite the Maltese capital, Valletta, is Fort Manoel. It was built during the early 18th century under Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena and was severely damaged by bombs during World War 2. It is still undergoing restoration. I took this photograph when crossing by ferry from Sliema to Valletta.

Mount Auburn Cemetery is the first rural cemetery in the United States, located on the line between Cambridge and Watertown in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Boston.
With classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain,[2] it marked a distinct break with Colonial-era burying grounds and church-affiliated graveyards. The appearance of this type of landscape coincides with the rising popularity of the term "cemetery", derived from the Greek for "a sleeping place." This language and outlook eclipsed the previous harsh view of death and the afterlife embodied by old graveyards and church burial plots.[3]
The 174-acre (70 ha) cemetery is important both for its historical aspects and for its role as an arboretum. It is Watertown’s largest contiguous open space and extends into Cambridge to the east, adjacent to the Cambridge City Cemetery and Sand Banks Cemetery. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2003 for its pioneering role in 19th-century cemetery development.

1. It is successful because it is plain and focuses on one thing.
2. It is being focused on line and colour.
3. Eye level and it focuses on the lines and the object.
4. The effect is deep and it makes the image clearer.
The bridge was built by 1911 by J. J. Welch at a cost of $40.[2] It is a one-lane bridge, 51 feet (16 m) in length. The bridge eventually became obsolete when it could no longer handle the increased traffic, but it remains as a tourist attraction, located just south of 6875 Pisgah Covered Bridge Road, west of the community of Pisgah. The road now crosses a nearby two-lane concrete bridge built in the 1950s.

From the guided tour of Pamplona in Navarre, Spain.
We were taken inside the Iglesia de San Saturnino
The church of San Saturnino, more commonly called San Cernin (variant of the Navarrese Occitan Saint Sernin), is a Catholic religious building in the Old Town of the city of Pamplona, Foral Community of Navarra.
It is one of the five ancient parishes that Pamplona once had. The other four are the church of San Juan Bautista (Navarrería), that of San Nicolás, that of San Lorenzo and that of San Agustín.2 It is the parish of Burgo de San Cernin.
Prior to the Romanesque temple, which must have been built between 1180 and 1200, there is news of a primitive church that would have been located under the choir of the current chapel of Santo Cristo. It is mentioned in 1107 by Pedro de Roda in a donation.
The Romanesque church - small in size and with two towers - was the object of several attacks during the course of successive conflicts with neighboring towns: in 1222 it was the inhabitants of the town of San Nicolás who caused the deterioration of its roof, in 1276, during the Navarrería War, were key points in the defense as mentioned by Guilhem de Anelier.
The current church is Gothic from the 13th century. Reasons have been put forward that the works would have begun shortly after the war of 1276. Beginning at the head, as was common practice, they would have continued along the side walls, reaching the gable end around 1297. It is the date of the choir in whose keystone of the sotocoro vault this final date of construction is located.
There was a Gothic cloister attached to the south wall, which in the 18th century was occupied by a large chapel with a Greek cross plan dedicated to the Virgin of the Camino, patron saint of Pamplona.
my good friend threw a groundhog day party on feb 2. it was a lot of fun to use some of the things i've been learning in photography class. :)
126/365-2
It was just about a perfect morning for hiking -- brisk and cold, but not too cold. Cold enough that the ground was hard and pleasingly crunchy, but not slippery underfoot. Cold enough to see your breath, but not cold enough to freeze off your fingers. Cold enough to keep most other people off the trails, but not cold enough to make us wish we'd stayed home.
Day 2.
It reached 47C today and with gale force winds that just not a good mix. I did manage to get some laundry done but it was always a dash from the clothes line to the back door (across the largely concreted back yard) to avoid 3rd degree burns on my feet.
Everything has had the life roasted out of it over the past few weeks. The grass is dying, the plants are all burnt and the fruit trees, well they have fruit but they're not coping all that great.

Rejuvenation Therapy / Rejuvenation Technology in Trees?
Rejuvenation therapy / Rejuvenation technology is the process of pruning and after pruning management of the plants to make them productive by utilizing the existing root system for support and absorption and the existing limb/branch system to rebuild the productive canopy.
What is Senility?
Senility is a stage of the plant in which after a long span of continuous fruiting the ability of the branches or limbs and the whole tree to produce vigorous and efficient twigs having the capacity to bear the fruit is reduced.
Why rejuvenation of senile plants?
1. India is a leading fruit-producing country.
2. Fruit production in the country is an age-old enterprise.
3. A large acreage is under the systematic fruit plantation.
4. The low average productivity of orchards in India is attributed to the prevalence of senile orchards.
5. Hence rejuvenation is requested to improve the productivity of senile orchards.
Characteristics of senile orchards?
a. Predominance of long unfruitful branches and tip-bearing habits.
b. Reduction in the ability of a particular branch to produce vigorous and efficient twigs that can bear fruits.
c. Overcrowding of branches in the inner part of the canopy leads to restricted sunlight penetration.
d. Heavy incidence of pests and disease.
e. Drastic reduction in fruit yield, and appearance.
Principle of rejuvenation
1. Trees have latent buds on their limbs and branches which are activated to put forth new sprouts which ultimately form the canopy and fruiting area of the plant.
2. Improvement in root shoot; ratio.
Considerations for rejuvenation
a. Age of the plant
b. The ability of the species to coppice
c. A frame of the tree
d. Time and severity of rejuvenation
e. Post rejuvenation care
f. Transformation of rejuvenated juvenile shoots
g. Top working to change the variety
Advantages of Rejuvenation therapy/Rejuvenation technology in trees
1. Utilization of existing root system
2. Lowering the fruiting area which can be conveniently managed.
3. Creation of extra space for inter-cropping in the orchards.
4. The availability of a large amount of pruned wood can provide additional income.
5. Enhancing the productivity of plant
Conclusion
1. Rejuvenation has been found successful in mango.
2. It is responding to the trees having strong shoot renewal and coppicing capacity.
3. Efforts should be made to improve the productivity of other fruit and plantation crops having similar growth habits.
4. In crops where young shoots have economic importance, rejuvenation practices should also be tried to improve their productivity.
Methodology and operation in mango trees
1. Marking and cutting of the trees.
2. Heading back and selection of main branches.
3. Pasting on cut ends.
4. New shoot initiation on rejuvenated trees.
5. Profuse shooting.
6. Thinning of shoots.

It might as well be the yellow brick road.
Tough day; three passes, 98, and another 65 miles.
One of the hardest days I have ever survived.
Words don't do it.

This fulfills requirement 2, it’s taken outside the lander hall. The bus and cars are moving but the slow shutter speed of 1/10 of a second is not enough to capture that, so the foreground object is blurred and background is clear. Large aperture of F/22 and Low ISO of 50 were used to maintain the exposure of the picture.

This is Rainey - RAINEY and AQUA are hoping against all odds to find their forever home together. They really love each other and they love to cuddle, sit in your lap and play. They are very shy when we take them to Petsmart to be seen, but are really a wonderful pair of siblings. They are the last two of the litter and were rescued from a storm drain on January 24, 2010. They were about 4 weeks old and were the beginning of the 2010 kitten season! Do you have room for two more loving felines? They really don't eat that much and would make you very happy, they promise!
These are cats available from SNAP 2 It rescue. They took in 28 cats from a hoarding case & most of those cats are ready to be adopted. For more info check out their website.
