When I first saw this basin twenty years ago it had been chained. Chaining was a common 20th Century method of range improvement. Two big bulldozers were connected by ship anchor chain. The bulldozers ran parallel, and the chain pulled out the weed trees. In this case after twenty years, sagebrush clearly benefited.

Jetz is a gas station chain in parts of Milwaukee. They are a rather small chain with only 4 locations but 2 of their locations get most of their business. That's this one and Muskego. Both offer chains for food options, this one offer Culver's and Subway. The tower is where the bathroom are and they separate both Culver's and the convivence store. That's very convenient for customers.
Rajashree Chain Links offer chain Link fence in a variety of recommended colors and Chainlink Fence which are used use in Farms, Factories, Gardens and Poultry.
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm sick and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain

Whitetail Fawn - Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Have spent a lot of time during the month of June in Big Meadows and its adjacent forests. Have logged lots of morning hours and lots of evening hours in this time frame, especially while off work last week (vacation). For the second year in a row, the birthing period of Whitetail Fawns started out like a wildfire in the last week of May, but in the early days of June it all came to an abrupt end.
My theory? The predators (bears and coyotes) tuned in on the birthing activity soon after it started and so the mayhem began. The meadow became a hunting ground, both night and day. The smart Does adjusted to this predation and left their babes in thickets adjacent to people areas such as the Visitors Center and the Wayside/Camp Store. These particular babes were the lucky ones because they were allowed to reach 2 weeks of age, which is all that's required for a Fawn to have a good chance of fleeing from a predator.
So needless to say, I've been seeing the same 10 or so older Fawns the past few weeks (4 of which are 2 sets of twins) - with the exception of a few small ones here and there, but even they seem to disappear as the days go by. In the past week, there has hardly been any Whitetail activity in the meadow either in the morning or evening, it's as if the majority have turned completely nocturnal.
Up until last year, the Black Bears were the main predator of Fawns, which in a natural way has kept the Whitetail herd in check, but then another equation entered the picture in 2010: a healthy population of Coyotes. They are clever creatures, and here they seem to have no concern or fear of human presence, while they openly hunt the meadow during the daylight hours whereas the bears don't. However, one particular bear has been hunting the edge of the northern section of the meadow and has gone out into it to snatch at least one Fawn that I am aware of. But inside the woodlines is where the bears do the most predation as I have witnessed several times.
I know and understand that this is a natural process that's been occurring for many centuries in nature, and I do try to not get attached to the animals that I encounter frequently, but I can't help but cringe each time I see a Doe take her babe into the meadow's adjacent woodlines, because she's thinking that she is keeping the little one safe by moving it from the open meadow. It's a 'damned if you do and damned if you don't' scenario for them.
The whitetail herd at SNP is now taking a hit from two predator species instead of one. It'll be interesting to see what effect this has on the herd's numbers in the coming years.
So goeth the cycle of nature -- so goeth the food chain.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!

Claude Cormier's Les boules roses, the chains of pink and multi-coloured balls that have hung above rue Sainte-Catherine in the Village gay every year since 2011 (though perhaps this may be their final summer), features in advertisements for Fierté Montréal Pride at Wellesley subway station in Toronto's Gay Village. These ads were a bit poignant for me, coming so soon after my return from a fantastic four-day trip down Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence to the gorgeous city of Montréal, but in a good way.
This is the second photo in a series of three, viewable at my Flickr and Instagram accounts and in a post at my blog here.

The Torrey Pines Gliderport sits high atop the cliffs above Black's Beach in San Diego. The sunset was pretty well hidden behind the clouds, but a gap in the clouds allowed a little bit of light to shine through.

One of the most spectacular bridges in Budapest, Hungary, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge. Viewed from the heights of the old Buda Castle wall, with much of the Pest side in panoramic sight.
In the background (left) you can see St. Steven's Basilica, Gersham Palace, Vigadó Concert Hall (middle), and Hotel Sofitel to the right.
Széchenyi Lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The first bridge across the Danube in Budapest, it was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark in 1839, after Count István Széchenyi's initiative in the same year, with construction supervised locally by Scottish engineer Adam Clark (no relation). It opened in 1849, thus became the first permanent bridge in the Hungarian capital. At the time, its center span of 202 m was one of the largest in the world. The pairs of lions at each of the abutments were added in 1852.

The replacement rear derailleur for my ride having bent it (and the hanger) when I fell off last week.
This SLX shadow has replaced a 15 year old XT one - the last bit of my drivechain to be replaced (except the wheels). A breeze to install and set up, will see how it shifts tomorrow on the ride home.
Very impressed with Chain Reaction Cycle's service - ordered on Friday evening just before 5.30 - delivered Monday morning just after 9am! Free delivery too! :-)
Now I need to service the rest of it - chain looks like it needs replacing too!
