Switch engine for the day.
Quite the overkill for a yard switch engine and the biggest power they could find. However, it was fun watching the behemoth struggle.

The female Pine Grosbeak sports more of the bronze tones in her feathers but she is just as lovely. I do like when I can capture both their front and back sides to show off their markings. The image showing her tail feathers, also shows the layer of scalloped bronze feathers tucked between the greys. That is my favourite pose of her that I captured.

Description of Historic Place
Bronte Cemetery is located in Bronte Village between the West Street fork, south of Seneca Drive, in the Town of Oakville. The forested cemetery had its first burial in 1823.
The property was designated, by the Town of Oakville in 1987, for its heritage value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 1987-294.
Heritage Value
Bronte Cemetery is associated with the area's earliest pioneers. In 1830, Philip Sovereign deeded the east corner of his farm for the cemetery, after several people had been buried there, beginning in 1823. He specified that it be for people of "all orders, sects, nations and parties". Almost a third of the headstones belong to children, others to mariners. The mariners interred include, Jimmy Baker, first mate on the schooner Magellan, who died when it collided with the U. L. Hurd, in 1877 and the Dorland brothers, fishermen lost east of Bronte in the great gale and snowstorm of December 1886. Many of the early notable families in the cemetery include: Adams, Belyea, Butler, Dorland, Lucas, MacDonald, McWane, Osborne, Ribble, Sovereign, Triller and Williams.
Bronte Cemetery is a good representation of 19th century cemetery design. It is characterised by a naturalistic setting to attract and comfort the living, the use of markers and monuments to perpetuate the memory of individuals of historic importance and a park-like layout for public use. True to the original plan, gravesites are placed with separate individual markers.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of Bronte Cemetery include its:
- original markers and monuments, with their surviving inscriptions
- variety of styles, materials and symbolism represented in the markers and monuments
- range of size and sophistication of markers and monuments, from modest to elaborate
- park-like layout including its mature trees
- monuments
- individual grave markers with their surviving inscriptions
- location in Bronte on early settlement grounds

As the title infers, these will be slices of London, hopefully including every aspect of life. Including Architecture, Sculpture, People, Graffiti, Transport, Doors and pretty much everything I have seen over the past 10 to 15 years of photography.
Sharp-tailed grouse.
Recently we were invited to visit Manitoulin Island to see a sharp tailed grouse lek.
It was amazing. We were in a blind and the birds were about 10 feet away.
We saw about 40 birds, some down in the grass and a few more in the open. This one was at the road side as we were leaving.

Tympanuchus phasianellus
Scientists place Sharp-tailed Grouse in genus Tympanuchus, the prairie-chickens. The word means “drum nape” and refers to the purple air sacs (extensions of the esophagus) that displaying males inflate at the side of the neck. These sacs are not simply adornments. They amplify the male’s cooing courtship call and may help to show off his overall health.
Hydria decorated with a parade of sphinxes on the neck zone, and palmettes and running spirals on the body. On vase shoulder and lower body, bands filled by geometrical motifs complete the decoration.
Hydria attributed to the “Mesogeia Painter”, conventional name derived by several hydriai decorated by the same artist and discovered in the Mesogeia.

La Sioule est une rivière française du nord du Massif central, qui prend sa source (altitude 1093 m) à proximité du lac de Servières dans le massif des monts Dore. Elle s'écoule d'abord vers le nord puis vers le nord-est à partir de Pont-de-Menat (à proximité du village de Menat, avant Ébreuil). Elle a une longueur de 150 km (90 km dans le Puy-de-Dôme et 60 km dans le département de l'Allier). La plus grande partie de son parcours se situe dans la région des Combrailles. Elle est un affluent de l'Allier qu'elle rejoint à La Ferté-Hauterive (altitude 219 m), au nord-est de Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule.

I’ve run out of wall space. I hung new curtain rods (at the proper distance from the windows) and added valances and had to move all the art that used to hang between the windows and the ceiling.
Thankfully, I have an entire office to rehome the art castoffs from my house. I brought my Bogosian collage of the San Diego waterfront to hang in my office. It’s actually a better place since I acquired that piece while in San Diego for work.

The 15.45 St Blazey to Gloucester, conveying loaded china clay wagons and one empty oil tank, passes the former Aller Junction.
From an original slide in my collection. Photographer unknown.
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen with my eyes!
Shimmering in silky tones I discovered these, a mix if white and pink I had NEVER seen before!
The petals look 'waxy' but feel silky soft!
The peony was originally introduced as medicine.
In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed. In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANKS for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Koninginnenpage - Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon).
Excited with my first ever local sighting today.
In NL found mainly in Limburg.
They very rarely venture this far north.
