Rolling year montage of our house in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido. January 2021 is the middle of the top row.
they are not all extinct.........this one has been in my Dads front yard for a LONG time. The one in the back yard died several years ago, though.
Zoom view of chestnuts on the chestnut tree across the road from our house this morning. A few of the chestnuts never dropped (even though eventually their contents did) and now they collect snow, making the tree look as if it has brown and white balls stuck on it.
This was growing on the side of a chestnut tree on a stump where a large branch had been sawn off around 6 or 7 feet from the ground. It seemed quite out of place with all that vibrant colour at this time of year when everything around it was dull in comparison. A real work of art by mother nature in my book though.

The grounds of Cantigny, Col Robert R. McCormick's estate in Wheaton, Illinois. The house is in the background. I was particularly interested in the flowering chestnut tree (Kastanie in German). I had seen them in Germany when I was in the Army, but not since then, at least during their spring flowering period. Some of these trees grow to be much larger. They line major streets in some European cities.

Last night's forecast for today's
weather called for cloudy weather until at least 6:00 PM. It's been raining most of the afternoon. While I don't mind the rain, having some forewarning would have been nice. At least I took care of my chores downtown in the morning (on foot) when it wasn't wet...
Unripe chestnut pods on the chestnut tree near the front of our house in Kitahiroshima. The typhoon that came through yesterday wasn't very strong by the time it got here (the eye passed over us, and we got a lot of wind later, but no where near as much as on the 5th of September). So, the tree is still full of chestnut pods. I suspect the tree belongs to the same person who owns the wonderful vegetable garden across our road - it's going to be a popular tree in a few more weeks.

High resolution original paintings from one of the most highly regarded French Impressionist painters, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919). The young Renoir struggled with his family’s financial circumstances so he left music school and started out as an apprentice at a porcelain factory. While he studied art in Paris, he befriended the young impressionist painters: Frédéric Bazille, Claude Monet, and Alfred Sisley. In the 1870s, Renoir became one of the leading painters in the Impressionism movement. His lively paintings mostly celebrated the beauty of feminine sensuality. We have gathered over 200 of his paintings from the public domain. Enjoy these high resolution public domain paintings. Download for free under the creative commons 0 license.

I love these horse chestnut leaves when they start to run. They always go at the edges and look fabulous.
I took this on the way back from work, where I'd popped in to see Dave for some lunch.
So pretty, I even stopped the car. :)
I'm guessing that at some time in the future, the river will break through that neck of land, creating an ox-bow lake of the part of the river nearest to the camera.
This is the view looking westward. The hills in the distance are the Cevennes.
After four days of heavy rain, the sun came out, so EVERY tourist in the area made the most of the situation and travelled the corniche above the Ardeche gorges. There was a holiday atmosphere, people of all nationalities were talking to each other. Even British people spoke to other British people!!!
The landscape was very beautiful. The river was VERY high, so high that canoeing was forbidden, which must have been very disappointing for those who had gone to the area specifically to canoe, but it made the waterfalls and rivers much more dramatic for the rest of us.

The Olivares neighborhood (also known as the Olivares suburb and sometimes as the San Claudio de Olivares neighborhood) is a Zamora neighborhood located on the right bank of the Duero River. In the medieval period of the city, the suburb was accessed through the Olivares gate (called the Optimal gate). At a lower level, on the banks of the river, there are the set of water mills. The neighborhood is structured around the parish church of San Claudio de Olivares. The main activity of the neighborhood was artisanal,focusing mainly on pottery.
History
The name of the city may come etymologically from "Azemur" (wild olive grove) and may be linked to the name of the neighborhood outside the walls. The neighborhood began to take shape in the 12th century as a space for artisans and tanneries, a place where made Olivares pottery famous in production until the end of the 19th century. The neighborhood has been affected by various floods, one of the most catastrophic was that of 1586.
