A quick sketch of one of the leaves from the Ash tree in my garden I think this is dieback.
I live in North Devon, it's here already ~ I think.
This is called an Ash Plantain because of its colour. It is a very common sight in Sri Lanka. From my home garden in Kandana, Sri Lanka.
When LTVSMC restarted their power generating station at Taconite Harbor in 1993 they chose a segregated area of their tailings basin at the mine for disposal of fly ash. The railroad would then haul short trains of side-dump cars filled with the ash back to Hoyt Lakes a few times each week, usually using an available road set and crew in a normal pellet train slot. This practice ceased in 2000 and I believe the ash was (and still is) trucked to a disposal site near Duluth (Doug?).

Ash and Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
I started working on this last fall around when Pokémon X/Y came out but didn't like how my joints worked so tabled it for a while. The head still feels a little big and bobbly and standing him up can be a pain but overall it was a fun build :)
A little early for peak colors but there were a few patches where the leaves had started to change in the Galiuro's. This picture was taken along Ash Creek on the trail to Bassett Peak. Processed in HDR Efex Pro 2.

"I look ridiculous!", Ash said, standing their in a purple thong and top with her perky breast barely contained by a purple fishnet bra.
"You look great Ash", Iris replied without even looking up from her phone.
"IRIS!.....Can you put the damn phone down and look at me!"
Iris sighed and looked up, tucking her phone into the waist band of her pink thong. "Look, I agreed no more performing over sharks or anything that could hurt you and you said you would start performing again AND.....let me pick the costumes. So, I decided if our act became a little risque, it will go along way."
"You want us to be topless by the second act!.......and fully nude by the third!"
Iris laughed off her partner's concern. "Like you've never performed naked in front of an audience before, Ash"
"No....no I haven't Iris", Ash replied as she crossed her arms over her exposed breasts.
"Oh.....so the millions of views your videos got on taintpainters.com doesn't count?", Iris asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Iris' phone chimed before Ash had a chance to respond. "Damn it!", she muttered to herself as she scrolled through her phone.
"Expecting a message?"
"Yeah, the clinic is supposed to message me the results from my STD Blood Panel", Iris said out loud while slipping the phone back into her thong.
Ashlynn's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Ok Ash, let's go knock'em dead!"
*********************************************************************************
Iris and Ashlynn were introduced to a packed house of mostly men. The girls got a standing ovation full of wolf wistles before the show even got under way. The cheers grew even louder as Ash and Iris both ascended their respective towers. It seemed Iris plan had worked.
The show got underway and the girl's act didn't skip a beat. Their twirled and soared gracefully through the venue, showing off their acrobatic skills. The crowd gasped in suspense as Ash flipped and twisted through the air. With no net below to break her fall, one wrong move could ruin the performance and possible destroy Ashlynn's life. Time seemed to slow down as the pint sized aerialist seemed to fly through the room, a blur of purple spandex and tan flesh. Iris swooped in on her own swing and caught Ashlynn by the wrist and swung her friend back to the safety of the platform.
"One more pass in act one!", Iris called out as she swung to the other side of the apparatus.
This last trick was something the girls always saved for the end of the show, but they both agreed that the crowd would get a better visual affect from this stunt if they were still in costume. The maneuver consisted of Ashlynn getting enough momentum that she when she finally let go of the bar she would be able to pull off a quadruple back spin into a twist and finally be caught by Iris who would come swinging in upside down.
Iris winked at Ashlynn from the other side of the trapeze rig. Ash smiled back, took a deep breath and began her approach. She swung from one side to the other, picking up speed. The drooling men in the audience watched with amazement as Ash let go of the swing and began twisting and spinning flawlessly through the air. Iris swung in by her knees ready to catch Ashlynn by the hands when suddenly her phone vibrated against her curvy hip. "My results!", she thought and reached for phone. Ash's eyes widened as she came out of her final flip and focused in on Iris swinging through the air with her attention on her phone.
"IRIS!!!!", Ashlynn screamed out in horror
"THE RESULTS ARE NEGATIVE, ASH!", Iris yelled back
*******************************************************************************
8 hours and 1 trip to the emergency room later.
"Everyone loved the show, Ash!"
Ashlynn scowled at Iris as she sat on her living room couch with her broken leg propped up under a pillow. "Well I didn't love it, Iris.....I have a partner that can't put her phone down for 5 freakin minutes to make sure I don't die!"
"Look Ash, I am sorry.....It was a mistake but this was life altering news!"
"Kinda like falling out of the freakin sky and getting lucky that you landed Gus The Gassy Goat!"
Iris looked at her friend and pouted her lush lips. "Oh Ash, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
"Well first you can.........
Iris' phone chimed in interrupting what Ash was about to say. Iris pulled her phone out and smiled as she brought up a text from her good friend, Mark.
"OH MY GOD ASH!....It's Mark.....he wants me to come over tonight to celebrate the negative test results!!!", she excitedly yelled out loud.
Ash stared at her friend texting away. "You've gotta be fucking kiddin me!"
Ash is our oldest cat- great old girl who will be 19 this year! And Callie is a little girl we took on with her two brothers when a friend of ours passed away. Ash is not REALLY so social, but since Callie is very needy and sits with us, too, every night, Ash finally felt some compassion, I think . . . or maybe she was just too asleep to notice. LOL! :)
Ashness Bridge is the most photographed and painted man made structure in the Lake District. Borrow Beck flows down under the ancient pack horse bridge and in to Derwent Water. Skiddaw provides the perfect backdrop to the scene. As I was passing I thought it rude to pass over taking a shot
How can you not go here if you are in the lakes? It's one of the most over shot jetty's in cumbria but when you are there its not hard to see why. We got there as the light was all but gone and i was lucky to still get a little bit of colour from the sunset. taken with a hitech 0.9 ND Grad to darken the sky - and a 96 second exposure to gather enough light for a nice balanced exposure.
Another scene at Mountain Ash Colliery in the Cynon Valley, South Wales depicts Austerity No.8 being watered (via a leaky pipe] on 7 December 1978.
The power station waste ash disposal trains are not easy to capture on the 3-ft gauge Bord na Móna running lines operating just one service a day and, without a lot of waiting around, being in the right place to capture one is a matter of luck. On Friday 8th November 2019, an unidentified Bord na Móna 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic trundles along the 'main line' section between Lanesborough power station (from which smoke is visible above the permanent way depot shed) and Mountdillon. The ash would be disposed of on distant worked-out peat bog workings on the eastern side of Lough Ree and would not return with the empty tippler wagons for another two hours or so.

Ashness Bridge is perhaps the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lake District. This photo of the iconic bridge was taken with the sun setting, giving a warm glow to the sky and hills. Located near Keswick in the Lake District National Park.
18" talking Ash Williams from Army of Darkness by McFarlane Toys that arrived earlier today. "Groovy."
Floodwaters have cut deep channels into this volcanic ash field resulting from the 1850 eruption of Volcán Osorno, Chile.
Our dinner stop as we were passing and the little car parking space was free. I told myself this trip I was not going to do Derwent water and all the honey pot shots.As we were there for dinner sat on the wall I thought I might as well have a go.
To the horror of many photographers they have recently rebuilt this jetty. It may be the newness but it certainly does not have the same character.
I did think I would leave the camera doing a 2 -3 minute exposure while I had my dinner but when another photographer came down wanting the same shot I let him have it while had a few butties.
Wednesday, February 26, 2020 is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Christians throughout the world honor this day as a time of beginning their meditations on Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Many churches practice the "Imposition of Ashes" where the penitent come to receive a mark of ashes upon their forehead, with the reminder, "Dust you are and to dust you shall return." In Christ, and by His suffering, death, and burial, we have forgiveness of sins, and by His resurrection on Easter we have eternal life. Thanks be to God!

Big day for practicing Catholics: Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40 days of Lent.
"From dust you came and to dust you shall return."
Ashness Bridge in the Lake District is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District. It is at famous for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw. It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.
Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 (in under 24 hours), a record which was not equalled for 28 years.

I have watched two Ash-throated Flycatchers as they brought food to nestlings in a nestbox a number of days recently. It was an awesome nature experience. I was very impressed with the frequency they brought food and sometimes when I was away from the scene would think that they were STILL searching for and delivering food at that moment. They would land near the nestbox with their prey, then often at length scan the area before flying to the nestbox. This apparent suspicion was part of their pattern before I started to gradually get closer. I really felt that as I stayed still when they approached that they essentially ignored me. Photos were taken on different days with different lighting.
My observation ended in an anticlimactic way. One day I came back and no flycatchers were coming to the nestbox. I did hear one or more in the distance. I hope all the work of the parents was fruitful in producing viable offspring.
