It was an unforgettable session with a perfect morning light. I've been waiting for this day for several months, thinking about the cadres I wanted to do.
There are only a few places at the church where you can use a wide-angle lens. In a few photos I used the Hitech ND 0.9 Grad Soft filter (85x110), and some of the photos I took from the tripod and hand in places where I could not use a tripod.
Such an unusual moment, in addition to the uniqueness of the mood of peace and quiet during this session was an unexpected meeting. When I quietly moved around the church taking photos - suddenly I heard somebody was running (on a steep road from stone blocks) and the conversation of two people (father and son) and their loud breaths (the church is on the hill and it was very early) - their surprise that this time of the day someone is photographing in this place was immeasurable and unforgettable.
Cubura - Parker Sweatpants
These sweatpants are the perfect casual wear. For exercise, sport or just lounging around the house. So many wonderful color choices make these a great addition to any wardrobe. They are sized to fit Jake, Gianni, Enzo, Legacy and V. TECH.
L'Aurore ( Anthocharis cardamines ) C'est une piéride mais qui présente de larges tâches oranges sur les ailes antérieures, chez le mâle du moins. C'est l'un de tous premiers à prendre son envol en début d'année. La plupart des piérides sont de couleur blanche avec plus ou moins de tâches noires, l'aurore se caractérise par la grande tâche orangée qui occupe toute la moitié de l'aile antérieure chez le mâle, celle-ci ayant en outre une bordure externe noire. La femelle ne possède pas cette coloration orangée. Chez les deux sexes, le revers des ailes est blanc tacheté de verdâtre. L'aurore est l'un des premiers papillons que l'on voit voler au printemps . On rencontre ce papillon principalement dans les prairies humides où se développe la cardamine des près (d'où le nom d'espèce). Il fréquente aussi les zones boisées, les lisières de forêt, les friches .

**********************************************************
Aurora (Anthocharis cardamines) It is a piérid but which presents large orange spots on the fore wings, in the male at least. It is one of the very first to take off at the start of the year. Most of the piérides are of white color with more or less black spots, the aurora is characterized by the large orange spot which occupies all the half of the forewing in the male, this one having in addition a black external border . The female does not have this orange coloring. In both sexes, the underside of the wings is white with greenish spots. Aurora is one of the first butterflies seen flying in the spring. This butterfly is mainly found in wet meadows where meadowsweet grows (hence the name of the species). It also frequents wooded areas, forest edges, wasteland.

This is an Episcopal church built in 1881 in the Carpenter Gothic style. It was designed by T. Buckler Ghequiere. On December 28, 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The porch has an inset Gothic arch and a double doorway with its original herringbone-pattern paneled doors. There is a rose window of stained glass above the porch. The church also has its original pews. The church originally had a bell tower on the peaked roof where the cross now sits. All of the other buildings are later additions. This church is located in Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia.
we purchased this beautiful Hellebore at the spring garden show... for now it will staying inside for a week or so... then I'll plant it with the others in the garden.
Historical country house also to be opened to the public
As of 1 September, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be using the historical country house, Trompenburg, as an extra location. Trompenburg, which is close to Hilversum, was built after 1677 by Admiral Cornelis Tromp (1621-1691), the son of the legendary Admiral Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. The residence, that was built to resemble a ship, will be open for use by the Rijksmuseum from 1 April to 1 October for holding lectures, small conferences and small-scale exhibitions. In addition, Trompenburg will also be opened to the public a few times each year.
A monument for the Tromp family
Throughout the years, Trompenburg House has been a home to different families, and has been in the care of the Government Buildings Agency as a monument since 1938. Cornelis Tromp, who was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch and Danish fleet, built Trompenburg as a monument for himself and his ancestors, his father in particular. The Tromp family's glory is the theme of the dome hall - which can be seen as the maritime answer to the Oranjezaal, the central chamber in Huis ten Bosch Palace. The dome hall contains the portraits of father and son Tromp and both their wives, portraits of the ships and the naval battles.
Decoration and exhibitions
Trompenburg will not be used for large exhibitions, as the country residence is too small. However, the Rijksmuseum is considering whether the house could be decorated with art works on a limited scale. Where possible, any art work that is selected will be in keeping with the themes of life on a 17th Century country estate and the maritime history of the period of 1630 and 1690.
Due to the limited capacity of Trompenburg House, the exhibitions as well as the lectures and conferences will all be small-scale. The house will be opened to the public once a month during the April-October season (six times in total). A steward will reside at Trompenburg House.
Furness Arch - just learned the name 2 years after I posted the photo. Frank Furness, a famed architect, designed the arch for the Connecticut display at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Fairmount Park. Later it was moved to this site to mark the beginning of the stairs to Strawberry Mansion atop the bluff.
7 years after I posted this photo, I still love looking at the Furness Arch, the wall and steps.
In addition to the Strawberry Mansion, the former Robin Hood Dell East stands on the top of the bluff. "This open-air amphitheater, managed by the City of Philadelphia’s Parks & Recreation, offers the very best in musical entertainment, family-oriented activities, and creative learning through educational opportunities in the performing arts."
They are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, particularly the former sections Tsutsuji (evergreen) and Pentanthera (deciduous). Azaleas bloom in the spring (May and June in the temperate Northern Hemisphere), their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees.Azaleas are generally slow-growing and do best in well-drained acidic soil (4.5–6.0 pH). Fertilizer needs are low. Some species need regular pruning. Azaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern US, southern Asia, and parts of southwest Europe. In addition to being renowned for its beauty, the azalea is also highly toxic—it contains andromedotoxins in both its leaves and nectar, including honey from the nectar. 24786
A red Abutilon, aka Chinese lantern, was missing in our garden. A friend did some propagation in our absence and... voila :) !
An addition for my prairie insects collection. This juvenile dragonfly has wings like the male and an abdomen like the female. I didn't realize it was a juvie when I shot it - I was just trying to catch the sparkles on the wings.....
I am no fan of garden ornaments, but when the owner of this house invited me in to have a look at their latest addition, I could hardly refuse.
I was also glad I did. As she explained that it had been made from washed up driftwood found on the beaches. It makes it a far superior garden ornament.
Better viewed large and thank you for yuur favourites.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
Scientific Name: Coracina novaehollandiae
Description: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes have a black face and throat, blue-grey back, wings and tail, and white underparts. They are slender, attractive birds. They have a curious habit of shuffling their wings upon landing, a practice that gave rise to the name "Shufflewing", which is often used for this species. This shuffling is also carried out by most other species in this family. Young birds resemble the adults, except the black facial mask is reduced to an eye stripe.
Similar species: Young Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may be confused with the White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Coracina papuenis, which also has a black eye stripe. However, this species is much smaller (26 - 28 cm).
Distribution: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is widespread and common. Outside the breeding season, large family groups and flocks of up to a hundred birds form.
Habitat: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is found in almost any wooded habitat, with the exception of rainforests. It is also familiar in many suburbs, where birds are often seen perched on overhead wires or television aerials.
Seasonal movements: Partially nomadic; some northwards migrations.
Feeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes feed on insects and other invertebrates. These may be caught in the air, taken from foliage or caught on the ground. In addition to insects, some fruits and seeds are also eaten.
Breeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may mate with the same partner each year, and may use the same territories year after year. The nest is remarkably small for the size of the bird. It is a shallow saucer of sticks and bark, bound together with cobwebs. Both partners construct the nest and care for the young birds.
Cuckoo-shrikes are neither cuckoos nor shrikes, but are so called because their feathers have similar patterns to those of cuckoos and their beak shape resembles that of shrikes.
Calls: The call most often heard is a soft churring, often being described as a warbling "creearck".
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 34cm
Average size: 33cm
Average weight: 112g
Breeding season: August to February; varies in more arid areas
Nestling Period: 21 days

Captured en-route to Glencoe last November to run a workshop. I saw this beautiful boat just floating motionless and thought that I simply had to stop and photograph it. It wasn't until I looked at the image on my computer screen at home when I noticed the heron on the far right hand side. What a wonderful addition to an already stunning scene.
I hope you all like it.

71 First Street (1927/2007): 1920s 2-storey Tudor Revival style stucco house with major addition in early 2000s.
In addition to the two steam locomotives, the Brohtal D5 was another big attraction of the weekend. The miniaturized Class 218 was originally built for the FEVE in Spain and was imported back to Germany by the Brohtal to handle their freight traffic. It is somewhat seldom to see it in passenger service.
The latest addition to my collection of thrift shop oddities - a tiny pot priced at $1.99 = but it was half-off day, so just $1.00!
Meg is the latest addition to the house, a 1710 piece Lego construction that Joseph gave to me as a present and helped to put together last night.
She's seen here being checked out by Yan who got a Dreamies treat as his reward.

What is it, an eyesore
In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20
Once more I am channeling Rodney Chester and seem to have formed a slight addition to reflections and puddles!
The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.
the newest addition to US Army Germany Fire & Emergency Services at Illesheim AAF is a Rosenbauer HTLF20 rescue pumper (pictured in the middle) on a Scania P410-chassis featuring a N45-pump (1250 gpm at 150 psi) and a 3000 liter water tank plus 400 liters of foam.

Big Day for Maxton Jeffrey, after waiting all day he is here. I think the problem was that he had his Denver Bronco cap on, but I could be wrong. Mom took a few days but she is out of the Hospital to.
This is the final image of my Moulton Barn Milky Way series. It is a 8 panel panorama showing the whole arch of Milky Way.
I addition to Milky Way, there are several deep sky objects visible. Examples are:
- North America Nebula (NGC 7000) on the upper left in the Milky Way arch
- Andromeda Galaxy (M31) on the left side, above the horizon, between the tree and Milky Way
As well visible are the green and red skyglow and, on the far right, light pollution from the nearby town of Jackson.
The barn was illuminated with low level lighting using two LED panels. As one of these panals was in the field of view when taking the left side of the image, it was removed for the second halve of the shots.

During lockdown, when it was virtually impossible to take strangers' portraits, I began this series using existing portraits for mono conversions. I have found it interesting to find what does/does not convert well and still continue with it.
Martin, a volunteer at Mottisfont Abbey, was one of the first people whose portrait I took for my strangers' portrait project.
I recognised him, by chance on duty in the house when we visited the current art exhibition this week, and we had a chat.
Martin explained that he has worked in this voluntary role for some eleven or twelve years and, in addition, also now carries out induction training for new members of staff and volunteers, taking them around the whole estate on an introductory tour.
Good to meet up and to recognise the importance of volunteers in the running of National Trust properties.

The National Carillon, situated on Aspen Island in central Canberra, Australia is a large carillon managed and maintained by the National Capital Authority on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia
The carillon was a gift from the British government to the people of Australia to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the national capital, Canberra. Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the National Carillon on 26 April 1970. The tower, standing 50 metres (160 ft) tall, was designed by Cameron Chisholm Nicol, a firm based in Western Australia. The concept was developed by Don Ho, one of the firm's architects, in 1968. In 2004, the carillon underwent refurbishment, including renovations of interior function facilities and the addition of two extra bells.
Carillons must have at least 23 bells to be considered as such, and the National Carillon has 55 (increased from 53 during refurbishments in 2003). Each bell weighs between seven kilograms (15 pounds) and six tonnes. The bells span four and a half octaves chromatically.
The carillon features moderate-size function facilities for small gatherings offering wonderful views over Lake Burley Griffin and central Canberra.
The carillon is in regular use, chiming every quarter-hour and playing a short tune on the hour along with tours and recitals on many days. For example, there is usually a recital of carols on Christmas Eve each year with music being played for around an hour at dusk. The best place to listen to the carillon is suggested to be within 100 metres of the building though the sound can usually be heard much further away in the Parliamentary Triangle, Kingston and Civic.
Wet-season brood
The male upperside is lavender blue. Forewing has the costa narrowly and terminal margin more broadly fuscous brown, the latter with in addition an anteciliary black line; cilia light brown transversely traversed close to but not at their bases by a dark brown line. Hindwing: costa narrowly fuscous brown; a subterminal series of black spots outwardly edged by a white line; the spot in interspace 2 the largest and inwardly crowned more or less broadly with ochraceous yellow; an anteciliary black line and the cilia as on the forewing. Underside: greyish brown. Forewings and hindwings: the following transverse darker brown markings on each wing, the markings edged on the inner and outer sides with white lines—a short bar across the discocellulars, a discal catenulated (linked like a chain) band, the posterior two elongate spots of which on the forewing are en echelon, while the band on the hindwing in bisinuate and is capped anteriorly near the costa by a round black spot encircled with white; the above are followed by maculated (spotted) inner and outer subterminal bands, which on the hindwing are curved and more or less interrupted on the tornal area by a comparatively large round black spot in interspace 2 and a smaller similar spot in interspace 1, both spots inwardly crowned with ochraceous; the white edgings on the inner side to both subterminal bands on the hindwing are more or less lunular. In addition on the same wing there is a subbasal curved row of four white-encircled spots, of which the anterior two and the spot on the dorsum are black, the other dark brown. Antennae black, shafts ringed with white; head, thorax and abdomen brown, the head and thorax clothed with bluish hairs; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen whitish.[5]
Female upperside: brown. Forewing: shot with blue from base outwards for a little over half its length down its middle, this blue irroration not extended to the costal margin; a slender anteciliary black line. Hindwing: a touch of blue iridescence near base; terminal markings much as on the forewing but the subterminal spots larger and not extended beyond interspace 6; in addition postdiscally there is a lightening of the shade of the ground colour, between which paler area and the subterminal spots the ground colour assumes the form of a postdiscal, short, transverse lunular band. Underside of female as in the male, the markings slightly larger and more clearly defined. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the male but slightly paler.
