Well, actually seen here in Englefield Green, but an early recipient of a Platinum Jubilee livery was First Berkshire 63313 (SM65 LNH). It’s usually used on route 8 which takes it past Windsor Castle on its way between Slough and Heathrow Terminal 5.
St. Judes Road, Englefield Green, Surrey.
...actually the hedgehog was in a wood by a roadside in Grindelwald. We had a walk round the village on the pram route on our last morning. The pram route has ups and downs and in itself would be a good keep fit routine!
I decided to take on the "Man without fear", one of the few MARVEL characters I actually like.
Please share your thoughts.
Actually called Cecil Brunner roses my friend and I were sharing memories of them as bouquets and corsages for proms. Then they were called Sweetheart Roses. Blooming all over part of my fence right now.
Click L for nicer size.
My 386th image to make it into Explore. Thank you everyone.
I actually had nothing for him this week which is really sad. He has been pretty neglected these past few weeks because of the puppies. I need to change that!
An edition of Robert Indiana's famous LOVE sculpture being installed at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in downtown Des Moines.
I did a 'selfi' with my Samsung A50 that actually worked and is worth keeping! ;)
Jill & I popped in the nearby the cafe at Grindleford before posing on the bridge above the Burbage Brook..
This little (actually, not so little!) ball of fluff was 45 days old when I photographed it on 20 July 2014. Lol, a face that perhaps only a mother could love? I have added a previously posted close-up photo of the owl's face in a comment box below. We don't have Barn Owls in the wild in Alberta, but this was seen at an exhibit.
That day, I plucked up courage to do a drive that I’d never done before. I had been that route once before that I can think of, when I carpooled with others. A good part of the drive was in familiar territory, but I’d never driven the last part of the journey myself. I had met my youngest daughter at 9:00 a.m. and we were both eager to see a display of birds of prey that had been brought up from the Coaldale Birds of Prey Centre.
This year, there were fewer birds, but it was great to see any at all. There was a Burrowing Owl, a Barn Owl, a Great Horned Owl, and a Golden Eagle. Another real treat that was an amusing one, was seeing this baby Barn Owl that was just 45 days old! This little ball of fluff was acting as a great ambassador, letting young kids get a close view and ask questions, and fall in love with it – and to hopefully, in the future, do everything they can as adults to protect our precious wildlife. The enjoyment of seeing these birds up close reminds one that the reason these birds are not free to live in the wild, is because of some kind of interaction with humans – such as permanent injuries from being hit by a vehicle, pesticide use, or even worse, being shot by a human! This is what happened to “Spirit”, the magnificent Golden Eagle, shot and blinded by someone.
This exhibit was our first destination in the park, though on the drive from Calgary, we had stopped at the small McDougall Church at Morley (photos posted the last two days). After seeing and photographing the birds of prey, we then drove to Middle Lake that’s in a different part of the park. We walked the very short distance to the edge of the lake, but didn't walk around it. From there, we drove to Many Springs Trail and did a very slow walk around the lake, stopping to look at different wildflowers and photograph a few butterflies. Certain wildflowers were already finished, including various Orchid species, but there were still plenty of other species to see and enjoy. Even the weather cooperated, though the forecast had been for isolated showers. Not too hot, nice clouds in the sky and lovely to have my daughter’s company for the day.
Thanks so much to the people down at the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre (near Lethbridge, down towards the Canada/US border) for bringing your gorgeous birds of prey for us to see! I have been south to the Centre three times I think, and always long to go back again, but it's not somewhere I can drive to, so this was a much-appreciated treat!
Posting really late again today - early afternoon.
Actually saw this truck in real life, outside Davis, CA. The city currently uses split Toters WITHOUT tipper bars, but obviously used to use recycling crates.

Actually it's the Gulf of Mexico. This shot was taken on the south jetty of the Packery Channel, about 1000' past the waterline, on a night with some pretty rough water. I had to dry the equipment off a number of times, despite how calm it may look in the photo.
We were driving back from touring the ground at Woodstock Gardens southeast of of Kilkenny, when my wife spotted a little break in the trees to our right. We back up and found this gem of a shot. If you look closely, you might even see an Irish gentlemen fishing in the Nore River. This - as much as any shot - was my favorite from the trip.
This will actually end up as a massive workbench. I need the weight in the bench because some of the tools I use need to be secured to an imoveable oject. This log seems heavy enough.
I actually lost track of how many corks are in this jar so it might be more or less than 364, but there's definitely a lot! I bought the jar thinking to use it for one of my photos, but then I started putting corks in it without counting them and I couldn't get them out! Oh well...I like the way it looks on the shelf.
In case you're wondering how much wine we actually drink, the corks are from more than just this year! I'd been saving them for at least a few years to make something with them, but I guess i'll have to break the jar if I want to get them all out again!
We got a new game about winemaking, but we ended up being so busy this weekend we didn't get to play it yet.
Well actually no, despite what the badge says! Merseyside PTE took small batches of MCW Metrobuses, Dennis Dominators and Leyland Olympians in the early eighties with Alexanders R type bodywork. This 1982 bus is actually a Dennis Dominator but has somehow managed to be fitted with a front grille from one of the similar Metrobuses, complete with MCW badge!
The oddball is seen on Lime Street in the city centre in August 1990.
Actually decided to unchain myself from the desk this afternoon and take a quick brake from the whorehouse..i mean office.
I love this little bridge..all the good Princeton rusty goodness
.. actually purple, but the camera decided that it should be blue.

Actually just a very old train, the Class 143 "Pacer" is built on a bus body, from Walter Alexander, today's ADL. Great Western Railway 143621 is seen at Newton Abbot on a service to Paignton.
Actually on on the 40 from Bedford about to work the 99 to Luton Airport with the blind half changed
Tray cheezes for the camera, Wage tries to get into the shot, Ox snuggles his teddy bear.
Target is gonna be trouble with that camera, I can just feel it.
Actually out to shoot a landscape shot in the New Forest when the weather turned. A herd of cattle who roam free in the forest, wandered past and I took the opportunity to photograph this inquisitive calf. #photography #newforest #wildlife
Diego: “Actually, maybe the only time it should make sense is at two in the morning.” *finishes off his toast in one huge bite*
Charley: “I heard what you said to him this afternoon, and it’s been hard for me to accept. I know you told me that you had feelings for me, but I didn’t realize how…*voice tapers off*
Diego: “Intense they were.”
Charley: *picks at the crust on her toast* “I guess I should’ve. You’re an intense guy. But what I don’t understand is how you can love me so much…and hate me, too. And I mean really hate me. Are…are you ever going to forgive me?”
Diego: *mood abruptly sours, eyes glitter with suppressed rage, tightly* “I don’t know how, Charley. I don’t know how I’m *voice dips low into a growl* ever supposed to forgive you for that night.”
Charley: *looks up to meet Diego’s gaze squarely* “I’m sorry, Diego. I’m so sorry. It never occurred to me that someone would…have to find me afterwards. I wasn’t thinking about anyone or anything but myself and escaping by the only means I thought was left to me.”
Diego: *fist clenches* “What if it’d been Molly? Do you know what it’d have done to her? You came onto the scene after she’d finally begun healing from the hell she went through. You don’t know what she was like when I first found her: skin and bones, dead-eyed, dried blood still in her ears from the explosion that blasted out her eardrums. It took years for her to revert back to her annoyingly cheeky self. And you would’ve destroyed it all just because you decided to take the coward’s way out!” *gets up abruptly, chair making an obscenely loud scraping sound, as he turns his back on Charley, and attempts to rein in his temper*
Charley: *voice soft, but steady* “And what if Diego found me? A boy who suffered unimaginable brutality from a father who should’ve loved him, and a mother whose weakness let it all happen. Seeing me like that, covered in blood and lifeless, brought it all back for you. The day you came home from school and found your mother dead on the floor by your own father’s hand. You loved her…but you hated her, too, for refusing to leave. For letting him hurt her over and over again. For letting him hurt you.”
Diego: *back still turned, scathingly* “If that’s your way of accusing me of having an Oedipus complex, then you can shove it up your ass. What? You took one psychology course in college and that qualifies you to analyze me. I don’t love you because you remind me of my effing mother. I don’t know why I love you. I just do. You’re not the only one who has problems putting their feelings into words.”
Charley (dryly): “Yeah, but whereas I just don’t say anything, you say all the wrong things.”
Diego: *breathes in deeply and exhales slowly, turns back around, and resumes his seat* “But most of the time you can take it. And the times you can’t, I know you’ll forgive me. There. That’s one of the reasons why I love you right there.”
Charley: “Do you think you’ll ever forgive me, or will it always be in the back of your mind, festering?”
Diego: “I know you were messed up, Bug. Logically, I get why you did it, but it’s not logic that makes me feel like I’m suffocating every time I think about it. It’s not logic that has me dreaming about it and waking up in a cold sweat. Can I forgive you for cursing me with a memory that haunts me every damn day of my life? That makes me feel helpless like I used to when I was a kid? *shakes head* I don’t know.”
Charley: *presses a hand to her chest, face deeply grieved* “Is there anything I can do to make amends? I may not deserve your forgiveness, but I’m asking for it all the same.”
Diego: “Promise me that you’ll never try to kill yourself again.”

Actually a picture im semi happy with.
If i was to take pictures last night after youth, this is what it would have looked like. I was planning on useing my old bird cage before my mom decided to give it away, but after yesterday everything just fell together. Nothing huge happened or anything, im just caught up in my own thoughts. I feel emotionally caged, like i cant get truly close to anybody that isnt my family or a childhood friend. How do people do it? Just let people in even when they might not be moving as fast as you. Im scared, im scared to reach out passed the bars, passed the glass and really know someone.
I dont know anything at all
We actually made it to the burn this year! We didn't sleep through it.
poi, spinning fire.
bonfire.
people.
Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary, Artemas, Pennsylvania.
June 11, 2016.
... Read my blog at ClintJCL at wordpress.com
BACKSTORY: Well, that was a crazy burn! So much shit I never expected to do, at WickerMan Burn 2016!
- Damaged Carolyn's car on the way in so that it permanently squeaks, except it got better by the time we left
- Ate a tequila worm (so much more chewing than you would imagine!) when naked-goddess-bartender poured me one, randomly. (I had to check that it wasn't something from the woods)
- Watched fireworks so dangerously close that I needed first aid for a burned eyeball (could this be why the vision in that eye went bad this year?)
- Learned to weave. On a loom. And wove some. Took video of weaving.
- worried about this spleen issue I have that is starting to feel less like a pain, and more like an actual tumor that you can distinctly feel on one side (still hurting as of 2017, CT Scan found nothing)
- controlled huge flamethrowers with laserbeams & buttons
- fun stuff on top of a 20-ft wooden ziggurat art installation (Carolyn was too scared to go up!)
- Watched a firework fireball zoom past Carolyn's head (she didn't even flinch) and catch the ground on fire 1 foot from her feet
- Made out with both members of a couple (beards can be soft?)
- Bounced in a moon bounce
- Saw Carolyn fall off a bounce-house ramp, tumbling in mid air, as onlookers screamed (one massage later, she's fine)
- Played with propane bubbles (cover hand, stick in fire, watch self burn) with zero regard for my safety or even knowing what they were ("other people aren't dying when they do this, so i'll do this, whatever this is. no, i won't ask anybody any questions about it or learn anything safety-related")
- Treated 2nd degree cooking burn with actual aloe leaves someone bundled up, just in case. Only had to walk 20 feet from my camp! No relation to previous bullet point.
- Tried [REDACTED]
- Used logical deduction to guide a damsel in distress to her campsite that she could not find, even though I had never been there. (If you want to flatter me, make me feel like Aragorn. I also accept pints of cherry tomatoes & great conversation)
- Received tons of compliments about my hair & badass cartoon shirt (and about my brain) (but I get that a lot... it's the others I'm not so used to)
- Worried about Andrea in rehab. Did all kinds of crazy things to maintain connectivity to check up on her. A lotta good that did. RIP, Andrea.
- Learned to always great one specific person with "Hi, Clint!" (Her name is not Clint. This is how she prefers greetings.)
- Wore My Little Pony boxer-briefs around strangers
- Sent video from the middle of the woods with a phone that only works when plugged in (tricky)
- Met the creator of games I've played for 15 yrs, & found out that the vintage set of game pieces my aunt found me in a thrift store are so rare that he was re-telling people about our set... Even when we weren't even there. So honored! To tell the man who invented Fluxx that you had the original Fluxx back when that was the only Fluxx you could get was awesome, too.
- But to make a reference to a specific episode of 2 Stupid Dogs to the creator of Fluxx, and have him know it and repeat it back... Wow.
- Chastised by Channy for not knowing how to spell my own name on facebook, becuase she wanted pictoral proof of my story that did not believe -- that the deer shit that came out of the deer when my Bonneville was totalled (while driving back from Dirk's) had splattered onto my car in the shape of Pluto the Dog's face. I totally sent her that picture!
- Lost 1 of 2 cameras, resulting in our pictures being quite incomplete (gee, real Burnery of whoever found it to not bother giving it back. If I find someone else's camera, I guess this means I'll have to keep it to break even?)
- Learned I can consistently inhale an entire nitrous oxide cartridge in one lungful
- Randomly given 2 beers by someone, only to ask to see her face, and, after introductions, us all realizing we already know each other already and are FB friends already (wtf?! what are the odds?!)
Saw a truck covered in fire driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"
Phew? Did I get everything? I don't know! One night, I never saw my camp during the night time, at all.
DeSoto Falls is located in Lumpkin County, Georgia along Frogtown Creek. There are actually three waterfalls on Frogtown Creek, called Upper DeSoto Falls, Middle Desoto Falls and Lower DeSoto Falls. The upper waterfall drops 200 feet, the middle waterfall drops 90 feet and the lower waterfall drops 35 feet. The overall height of the falls, as measured inclusive of non-vertical falls, cascades and steep stream bed, is 480 feet. DeSoto Falls are located on 3,560-foot Rocky Mountain. DeSoto Falls is named for Spanish explorer Hernando deSoto, who passed through Georgia around 1540. According to a sign posted on the DeSoto Falls Trail, a 2.4-mile in and out hiking trail to the falls, a plate of armor was discovered at the base of the falls in the 1880s. Hernando deSoto led 600 Spanish soldiers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and priests on a journey through Georgia and the southeast. The group was searching for gold and other means of wealth which they could claim for themselves and fellow Spaniards. Along the journey De Soto often took shelter with Native Americans. At the area of present-day Carter's Lake he visited a capital city of the Moundbuilders. The visit ended in a violent clash with the Indians. In Cartersville, De Soto visited the former settlement along the Etowah River, Etowah Indian Mounds. From there the Spaniard traveled down river to Ulibahali, an Indian village at the site of present day Rome, Georgia. Here De Soto arrested the town leaders, took hostages and slaves, and ransacked the granaries in August or September leaving nothing for the approaching winter. He left the state traveling west along the Coosa river. Franciscan priests established missions under Spanish control at Jekyll and St. Simon's islands in 1566.

其實，沒有人可以肯定的是，他們有多少混合是已經存在!
我在一處農場,發現許多混種鴉,當然是綠頭鴨種!
混得好漂亮,希望能生存的更安全和更加適應!
Actually I lied. There is this last one to make it 68 in all.

Actually I am not a Ninjago collector but I was suprised to own the most valueable male Ninjago minifigure according to an article published at brickset.com brickset.com/article/58782/top-ten-most-expensive-ninjago...
There actually was a 2005 Italian movie called La tigre e la neve (English: The Tiger and the Snow.)
The film is a romantic comedy set in contemporary Rome and in occupied Baghdad during the Iraq War. The story, inspired by the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," features singer-songwriter Tom Waits as himself in recurring dream sequences, and a surprise ending. The opening scene is a celebration of love, with an abundance of poetic references mentioned in the closing credits.
