Early morning walk.
This diseased Rowan tree next to the church gate has been here for years. It never grows any bigger and each year a bit more dies back. It’s not as if they don’t tend the churchyard, so why not remove it? Superstition maybe?
The south Bronx was as bad as they portrayed it in the movies...maybe worse! Guys would wait on their knees between parked cars and jump into your car when you stopped for a red light. Then if all they took was your cash, you were lucky...
Another shot from the demolition site I pass every morning. I did some tramping around in the area, being careful because of all the nails! There is a lot of ideal shots to be taken.. I plan to spend some time here... any suggestions would be appreciated...
Another shot from my lil' HP PhotoSmart!

The eastern filbert blight slowly killing our hazelnut orchard leaves dead branches and trees. The parts are infected with the fugal blight, and it will spread spores in the spring as leaves expand. So we burn the prunings.

The training mission on Belasco was easy. My senses tell me that things are going to be harder than that, or we would have won this war when I was still in that bacta tank. My troops have not been experienced with the outbursts of violence I can have, I wonder how they will react when I have one. I hope I get to know them a bit better, before they die. Kessel seems interesting, let's see what it has to offer, besides some toxic gases.....And death.

Got it done. Searched for hours trying to find that frackin' yellow arm. But I did. The red and white crate is by AfroEngineer. Time to build the new mission. Enjoy! Also, there are notes underneath for all of the clones' information. Have fun following me and my sigfig Thrash!

Edit 2020: There are no birds or animals in this shot, and it's not pure nature, but I think it's relevant to some such pages anyway.
Ormond Beach is a Designated Important Bird Area of Global Significance.
The ugly pile of rust that was once the Halaco metal recycling plant has since been torn down, but the toxic runoff into the wastewater ponds and the lagoon will be doing harm for decades to come. There is also the matter a slag heap that consists of 750,000 tons of toxic waste mixed with dirt and cement - various agencies have been fighting for 15 years over who is responsible for removing it (and how and to where.) The mess has been designated by the EPA as a "Superfund" site so there are funds available, but still no answer as to who and how. The EPA took a big step in 2018 -- they put a new fence around it :-/
The water visible in the photo is the "main channel" through the area. There is a smaller channel that drains from a large storm drain and flows directly adjacent to the fence and the old plant. It feeds water to a large percentage of the Ormond Beach Wetlands.
Though not what it was in it's heyday (with the exception of the well-protected wetlands on the nearby high-security Navel Air Station) the area continues to support the largest number of birds and other wildlife in the immediate "public" area, including many endangered and/or rare species, both year-round and migratory - but that's another less than pleasant story - we'll see what happens.
(In all fairness, those are low storm clouds in the sky, not discharge from the long-dead plant.)
