A pair of 25s, at the head of coal fulls from Holditch Colliery, pause at Silverdale Station to collect the single line token for the section to Madeley Junction. The tablet machine was kept in the former booking office.

The top moddle mosaic is another one of our Master Builders but it looks a bit like the series 3 Octan Racer.
The special thing about my #61 is that she will be my first girl that will live not only in my country (Mexico) but in my hometown! She is a girl I created for a friend and this will be her very first Blythe! how cool is that?! I can't wait for her to have her and enjoy her, as she's waited a long time for her! <3
These were some stamp-like stickers from an old TV Guide from 1975. Selling degrees you could earn in classes through the mail. I do think the guy they used for the Electrician stamp would have made a better background for the interior decorating stamp. They've all got that 1970s vibe going.
Coastal erosion along the chalk coastline is something ordinary. And when the chalk drops down a lot of fossils fall with it into the sea.
So this chalk is exposed after storms usually during the fall and winter season.
This chalk is highly fossiliferious, yielding many Echinoids, Sponges and Molluscs. Thus many people collecting when having a walk along the "beach".
I myself found more than 50 thunderbolts, fossilized sea urchins and a lot more I haven´t identified yet.
Wish you all a wonderful week.
@Mat: 2 days yet!
I didn't think my minifigures were getting the attention they deserved sitting in a box, and it was hard for the kids to find their favorites to play with. My solution was to prototype and build my own wall-mounted display case. It's 31" x 31" in size, holds 300 minifigures, and, at 1,515 pieces, weighs 6 pounds empty.
I envision this to be dynamic artwork, showing the 300 most interesting figures at any given time. I didn't want to enclose the display so that the kids could have easy access to any of our population.
Here, I've found a chair that pays out $L1 if you sit on it for 30 seconds. You'll find these around the grid at places that also use the other money-offering games.
There are a variety of groups you can join in Second Life to make money, however, not all games require a group membership and are available to anyone. I think of the games offered as the current version of "camping," where residents used to stay in a designated area or on a chair in location for a period of time before they could earn some Lindens. Sometimes, camping residents might have to perform a service like scrub a floor, etc.
Property owners purchase the items that distribute Linden money in order to attract visitor traffic to their properties or businesses. The number of visitors is then used to rank these properties in terms of popularity when people use keywords to search for places in Second Life that match keywords in the description of the location.
For me, collecting money through these games helps provide me with an income that I can use in turn to not only buy goods and supplies for myself, but also to use for tipping entertainers and businesses...spreading around the wealth, as they say. Second Life definitely has a diverse economy to support!
I captured this little guy by the lake at our campsite in Black Mountain, NC. There were dragon flies everywhere! I'll be posting some more later. Thanks to Gary for the ID: Blue Dasher.
Can you believe he reversed the charges?

1962 Chevrolet Corvette cabriolet
Châssis n° 20867S 109824
Moteur n° V11150B 155409523
Dans sa deuxième version (à partir de 1956), la Chevrolet Corvette évolua lentement, se voyant dotée d'un avant à double phare en 1958 et d'un arrière redessiné style 'canard', alors que pour le millésime 1961 elle recevait quatre feux arrière et un coffre plus grand. La 'Vette' était améliorée et restylée chaque année, de nombreux équipements optionnels étant petit à petit montés en série. En 1962, une Corvette de série était livrée avec une pendule électrique, un compte-tours, un chauffage/dégivrage, des ceintures de sécurité, un lave-glace et un rétroviseur extérieur. On notait peu de changements structurels ou mécaniques mais on notait néanmoins un arceau de sécurité arrière et un radiateur en aluminium. La grande nouveauté de 1962 était l'apparition d'un V8 327 ci (5,4 litres) sur la Corvette. Les puissances s'échelonnaient de 250 ch avec carburateurs à 360 ch avec l'injection. Équipée de ce dernier (RPO 582), la Corvette atteignait 225 km/h.
Datant de la dernière année de production avant la refonte totale sur la Sting Ray, cette Corvette dans sa livrée rouge avec intérieur assorti est équipée de la boîte manuelle à quatre rapports offerte en option. Récemment importée des États-Unis, la voiture est décrite comme étant en bon état général et est vendue avec un certificat de propriété de l'état de Floride et un formulaire belge 705.
Two lover than can never be together catch a longing glance from the other in this sleepy old west town.
This is the sixth of my collectible minifigure scenes, and the first to combine two figures. They just went together so well. Inspirational credit for the buildings goes to Legohaulic.
Enjoy!
Stamps are fascinating, they are little masterpieces of art, to me it is always stunning to see how the artist has implemented a given motif to a minimal space, as it is possible to make the "message" clear and understandable. By the way, you can learn a lot if you look in detail with the background.
So why not use these little marvels otherwise, eg for vintage - Jewelry?
6th Annual Father's Day Auto Show
Classic Autos Cruise into Napa Valley for Father’s Day
V Marketplace celebrates the “art of the driving machine”
The Napa Valley will proudly welcome car connoisseurs from around the Bay Area and beyond as V Marketplace in Yountville, hosts the 26th Annual Father’s Day Invitational Auto Show. Auto entries are by invitation. The event is Free to the Public.
From the national champions, to the local favorites, to the one-of-a-kind collector curiosities, more than 150 early and late model autos spanning almost 100 years of production can be seen at this non-competitive, open-class invitational exhibition. Whether nostalgia means rolling down the road in a classic 1928 Model A Phaeton, sliding into the drive-in with a ‘57 Chevy, or cruising the fast lane in a Ferrari, this show-stopping collection presents some of the finest autos to grace the highway in any era and is the perfect gift for Father’s Day!
V Marketplace has also invited local nonprofits to add to the festivities. Firing up their grill, serving delicious sausages and hot dogs, will be the Fire Explorers and the Yountville Fire Department. Manning the booth where cool beverages can be found will be the Native Sons of the Golden West and the Native Daughters of the Golden West. Operation Love will be on site collecting donations to provide care packages to our deployed armed forces stationed in harms way. All proceeds from these sales go directly to the nonprofits.
Make it a Father’s Day weekend escape to Napa Valley! Surrounded by lush gardens, beautiful water features, and meandering cobblestone walkways, V Marketplace, provides a beautiful backdrop for this annual event. Visitors can look forward to a unique variety of distinctive specialty shops, galleries, restaurants, wine tasting, hot air ballooning and Michael Chiarello’s Bottega Ristorante.

I'm not sure what this Brewer's Blackbird male has in his beak - I can't tell if it is a mouthful of individual insects or maybe just one or two. It was busy collecting food to feed its babies that were perched on low branches in one tree. Mixed in with these babies was one that was different - a young Brown-headed Cowbird. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests, so maybe this Cowbird was being raised by a pair of Brewer's Blackbirds.
These birds were seen on 17 June 2017, when five of us went east of the city for the day, to visit our friend, Shirley, at her seasonal trailer. Most of our birding was done at and near Shirley's trailer site, including seeing a wonderful owl family, two Killdeer and their nests, a Baltimore Oriole, and (finally!) a pair of Brown Thrashers. I had hoped for several years to see one of these birds, so it was a real treat to see a 'lifer'. It was far away and so high up, but I managed to get a couple of shots just for the record.
As we were walking around the grounds, two ladies stopped us and showed us some baby birds that they had had to remove from the engine of their vehicle. They wondered if we knew what kind of birds they were, but we were unable to help. I posted a photo of them a couple of days ago, just in case someone can ID them. The ladies had a bird house that they were going to put the babies into, hoping that the parents would hear them calling and be able to continue feeding them.
Thank you so much, Shirley, for inviting us all out to visit you while you were there for the weekend! It was such a pleasure to see some of "your" birds that you enjoy so much. Such a great variety of species! Wow, what a lunch we had, sitting at a table under the Tree Swallow tree, with a very vocal American Robin just a few feet away. How DO birds manage to sing non-stop?! Hot chili made by Shirley, and a whole array of delicious salads and desserts left me feeling full till the early evening.
Many thanks, Anne B, for picking up three of us and for driving us east across the prairies. Hugely appreciated!
