As these two were doing at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Every year, Bryce Canyon National Park awes visitors with spectacular geological formations and brilliant colors. The towering hoodoos, narrow fins, and natural bridges seem to deny all reason or explanation, leaving hikers gazing around with jaws agape in wondrous incredulity. This surreal landscape is what brings people from around the world to visit Bryce Canyon National Park.
How are those Hoodoos and fins formed? It starts with rainwater seeping into cracks in the rock. The water freezes during Bryce’s cold nights, expands and breaks apart the rock. The deep, narrow walls called “fins” result from rain and snowmelt running down the slopes from Bryce’s rim. Eventually the fins form holes (called windows), and when the windows grow larger they collapse and create the bizarre hoodoos that we see today.

More specifically demitasse* teaspoons. This hobby only came about as I also collect demitasse cups and saucers. This teaspoon was made by Reed and Barton a prominent American silversmith manufacturer. They were based in the city of Taunton, Massachusetts and operated between 1824 and 2015.
*A demitasse spoon is a diminutive spoon, smaller than a teaspoon.
HMM!

Walking into the forest near my house, I was amazed to see thousands of these gorgeous Trilliums in full bloom. Picking parts off of a trillium plant can kill it even if the rhizome is left undisturbed. Because they are so delicate, Trilliums are a very rare plant. Some species of trillium are listed as threatened or endangered and collecting these species may be illegal. Luckily, they enjoy the climate of the Pacific Northwest!
What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.

... there’s probably one in here. 68, High Street, Hastings.
6’8d - six shillings and eightpence - was a third of the old pre decimal British pound. Twelve pennies in a shilling. Twenty shillings in a pound. It was all rather complicated but there were certain tricks to make multiplication and addition easier, which I’ve now forgotten. If we were to go back to that system, and nothing would surprise me now, a lot of people would have difficulty with it - there would have to be an app.
I remember 6’8d once being the price of a “single” vinyl record.

Cette sculpture, implantée dans la roseraie du Jardin de ville, représente le héros de la mythologie antique Hercule. Elle se compose d'un piédestal en pierre et d'une statue en bronze fondue en 1996 d'après un original datant de la fin du XVIè siècle conservé au musée de Grenoble.
Cette sculpture évoque deux des douze travaux imposés au héros par la déesse Junon : tuer le lion de Némée dont la dépouille s’enroule autour de sa jambe et retombe à ses pieds ; voler les pommes d'or du jardin des Hespérides qu'Hercule tient ici dans sa main gauche. Le modelé puissant, particulièrement celui du torse qui laisse apparaître les muscles saillants, donne à cette œuvre une présence monumentale que renforcent la régularité des traits du visage et le regard déterminé. Longtemps présenté comme un portrait allégorique du duc de Lesdiguières, attribué à Jacob RICHIER, sculpteur attaché au duc et connu notamment pour les décorations du Château de Vizille, Hercule est aujourd'hui considéré comme une œuvre anonyme de la Renaissance italienne. Transportée à Grenoble au début du XVIIIè siècle par les descendants du duc, l'œuvre est achetée par les consuls de la ville de Grenoble en 1719, en même temps que l'hôtel et son parc. En 1740, elle est installée dans la partie boisée du jardin appelée "le bocage", au centre de l'actuelle roseraie du Jardin de ville. Restée au même emplacement pendant plus de deux siècles, la sculpture est tombée de son socle en 1989 en raison d'une usure extrême. Restaurée, la statue a pris place dans les collections du musée de Grenoble. Deux copies en bronze permettent, néanmoins, de la retrouver dans l'espace public : l'une dans le Jardin de ville depuis 1996, l'autre dans le parc du domaine de Vizille depuis 2008, à l'emplacement originel de la statue.
A perfect combination. A collectible Ford "hotrod" in brilliant livery, outside the historic Carrick Inn Hotel. This pub is nearly 200 years old, having been established in 1833.

A random shot as I was walking through a local town back in September. Some fancy plates in a small shop, among other collectables and bric-a-brac.

How I love Autumn leaves! It is difficult to go on a walk and return with empty pockets. ;)
