I got up this morning feeling rotten not so much after a busy day yesterday but because I’m on a strong dose of antibiotics after the minor op I had the other week . I stood there looking out of the window at the blue skies and got to thinking how grateful I am ( especially in the light of the Ukrainian conflict ) and kept thinking of a song we used to sing, back in the day, “I’m sorry displaced person that your only home’s a cave. "..I sat wrapped up warm on my patio later and captured these 'Tête-à-tête' daffs which have clearly survived the recent storms .

It seemed a while since I'd been underground.
I'm having to work longer hours in order to still be able to get photos in dingy locations in darkness.

This is the house number sign of our neighboring building, a modern architect's house. Uploaded for the "Numbers and Letters" competition of the "Beautiful Capture" group.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Beautifully restored, 1963 Willys Jeep. A daily driver.
This Jeep was called the Willys because the government selected a vehicle based on the fashion of the Bantam Car Company. Bantam lacked the production facilities to mass-produce, and the military wanted suppliers, so Willys got a contract to build this model of Jeep in the late 1940s.
Brooks Stevens, the famous Willys-Overland designer, had intended the Jeepster to be a low-priced American sports car. Eventually it priced out at around $1,900, which was at the time fabulously expensive.*

Today's dog walking snap, this cat was ignoring the three yapping dogs that were looking up at him as he sat, out of their reach, on the top of a fence.

The 1963 Corvette was the first C2 Corvette. One of the design inspirations was a Mako Shark that was caught by Design Manager Bill Mitchell while he was deep sea fishing.
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me

Also known as the “Ghost of Cassiopeia”, these brightly outlined flowing shapes look ghostly on a cosmic scale. A telescopic view toward the constellation Cassiopeia, the colorful skyscape features clouds IC 59 (top border left of center) and IC 63.
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, including galaxies, star clusters and emission nebulae. Dreyer published two supplements to the NGC in 1895 and 1908, known as the Index Catalogues (abbreviated IC), describing a further 5,386 astronomical objects.
The clouds of IC 63 shown in the image, about 600 light-years distant, aren't actually ghosts. They are slowly disappearing though, under the influence of energetic radiation from hot, luminous bluish star gamma Cas to the upper right.
Gamma Cas is physically located only 3 to 4 light-years from the nebulae. Slightly closer to gamma Cas, IC 63 is dominated by red H-alpha light emitted as hydrogen atoms ionized by the hot star's ultraviolet radiation recombine with electrons. Farther from the star on the top border, IC 59 shows less H-alpha emission but more of the characteristic blue tint of dust reflected star light. (courtesy APOD 10/26/2024)
