A Comma butterfly displaying its white ‘comma’ on the underwing.
The Comma butterfly - Polygonia c-album - is named from Polygonia, which translated from Latin is "has many angles", referring to the very angular wings. The small C-shaped white comma, on the underside of the wings, has given it the Latin name c-album and in English the name, Comma. The Latin C derives from the 3rd letter of the Greek alphabet "gamma" and "album" translated from Latin means white.
By the mid-1800s the comma was confined to the Welsh Marches, perhaps because of a decline in hop-farming – hops being a favourite food of comma caterpillars. After adapting its preferences to nettles instead its range has expanded. The comma is now found in woodland clearings and gardens throughout England and Wales and has even edged into Scotland. This northward expansion may have been aided by the UK’s warming climate.
I'm kind of aware of the fact that I don't post as frequently on Flickr as I used to. One of the reasons is that I had several albums, with dozens and dozens of photos, and I made the posting of those albums into projects that consumed a fair amount of time. I have several other albums, but there's only one that is both full of photos and full of photos of a high-quality and/or contains lots of photos with highly-interesting content. When the time comes to post that one album, I hope I remember to do it.
Meanwhile, here's a little morsel, an album I've had for a while. I don't, in fact, remember where I bought it, but it was pre-Iowa, which means either South Carolina, Florida, or the Missouri triangle as the source of purchase. For some reason, I have the state of Maryland attached to my memory of where these photos might have been taken, and where the school might be. Don't know why I have that memory, as there is no intrinsic evidence to support that association.
Most of these kids are smiling. This photographer had The Knack, and, to be honest, I worry about the kids who aren't smiling. My most haunting memory of going into the Arkansas Public Schools, K through 12 (I participated in a program called "Poets in the Schools," (though, of course, I was never a poet), until I got fired for being a bad boy (and my indiscretion does not even make for a very good story), oh yeah, my most haunting memory, is how in kindergarten, just about all the kids, rich and poor, black and white, were boiling over with irrepressible enthusiasm, and by the time they were sophomores and juniors and seniors, they had been sorted out, and the kids who as kindergartners were no less able, no less inventive, no less alive, were now, after the democratizing socialization process, shunted aside, deemed lesser, slotted to change tires down at the Firestone store, or put on an apron and primp the lettuce at the local grocery. And that was before Wal-Mart had done the worst of its work. Even the teachers, at least some, if not most of them, participated in the process. They would point out the troublemakers for you, and speak sneeringly of them. The experience was uplifting, and terribly disheartening, which is how I feel about my wonderful, dastardly country.
So like dorks, we all pose for an "album cover" shot. Unfortunately, the original was b-o-r-i-n-g so I didn't post it. I did a little post-production work on it to make it at least a little visually interesting, so here we are!

I spotted this train with F units as we were driving during my April 1973 of the Twin Cities and we were able to pull over so I could get a photo.

Built for the TBB Ninjago City collaboration at BrickCon 2018. The original set is one of my favorites of all time, and I had a lot of fun building a tribute. This tiny urban seaside park harbors a grand pagoda built over a sea cave. There is a flower market in the canal, and the levels above include a teahouse, maritime supply store, eel stand, cafe, and mini mart. All have full interiors.
For all photos see the album.

New Jersey Transit had the other GG-1 painted in a heritage scheme. In the very early 1980s during a visit to South Amboy, NJ I learned of an impromptu night photo session which I was able to join. Now, about 40 years later I can't remember who lit the unit.

Whilst up in Edinburgh for the day (25/04/2023) I stumbled across a display of buses at the Association of Local Bus Managers (ALBUM) Conference. ALBUM provides the opportunity to exchange best practice among its 130+ members and to influence policy for the promotion of high quality services that encourages more people to travel by bus.
