One of the big, bold sunflowers now starting to poke up high above the other plants in the prairies. It has it's common name because supposedly the large leaves at the bottom of the plant turn themselves toward the east and west to catch the sun, therefore the leaves point north or south. My observation is that this is not too reliable.
With grateful thanks to:

One of the oldest coaches in the Compass Royston fleet at the time of my visit on 24th April, 2009, this Volvo B10M-61 Plaxton Paramount 3500 had been new to Wallace Arnold as FUA 382Y. It would be sold to a County Durham operator in the Summer although I am not sure whether it was used by them.

Voici la boussole du navire de guerre HMS Belfast, désormais stationné sur la Tamise, en face de «La Cité de Londres». Il est maintenant transformé en musée et il est possible de le visiter de fond en comble! J’ai complété la visite avec mon cousin Fred, venu me rendre visite à Londres, pendant que j’y séjournais. Très agréable.
Pour obtenir un éclairage dynamique, j’ai fait appel à la technique HDR. Ainsi, il est possible de voir à l’extérieur du navire sans que l’intérieur soit mal exposé, et vice versa.

Here is the compass of the HMS Belfast warship, now stationed on the Thames, opposite "The City of London". It is now transformed into a museum and it is possible to visit it from top to bottom! I completed the visit with my cousin Fred, who came from Germany to visit me in London, while I was staying there. Very pleasant.
To get dynamic lighting, I used the HDR technique. Thus, it is possible to see outside the ship without the interior being badly exposed, and vice versa.

The compass jellyfish, Latin name Chrysaora hysoscella, has a saucer-shaped bell, with 32 semi-circular lobes around the fringe, each one with a brown spot. On the upper surface of the bell, 16 brown V-shaped marks radiate outwards from a dark central spot. The mouth, the only opening to the exterior, is located on the centre of the underside of the bell, and is surrounded by 4 arms.
The stinging cells and venom of Chrysaora hysoscella are strong and can produce painful, long lasting weals in humans.

Her journey is *almost* done! She can't wait to find out where her forever home will be!
Thank you, Linda, and Sandra, for all of your hard work with this wonderful project, and for letting us be a part of it! Thank you to all of the hosts and hostesses who enjoyed Compass' visit and showed her so many wonderful things this year!
While Compass was home, I cleaned and sanded some dirty areas a bit, washed the back of her head, touched up a few freckles on her nose, gave her some new coats of spray matte, re-glossed her lips, gave her a little vinegar rinse to try to reduce the oxidation in her teal hair, and then washed and conditioned her hair. I'm going to glue down a little scalp gap at the back before I mail her out. (Thanks to those of you who cleaned her during her travels, she was in really good shape!)

Excerpt from the Origin of the Compass Rose by Bill Thoen
The compass rose has appeared on charts and maps since the 1300's when the portolan charts first made their appearance. The term "rose" comes from the figure's compass points resembling the petals of the well-known flower.
Originally, this device was used to indicate the directions of the winds (and it was then known as a wind rose), but the 32 points of the compass rose come from the directions of the eight major winds, the eight half-winds and the sixteen quarter-winds.
In the Middle Ages, the names of the winds were commonly known throughout the Mediterranean countries as tramontana (N), greco (NE), levante (E), siroco (SE), ostro (S), libeccio (SW), ponente (W) and maestro (NW). On portolan charts you can see the initials of these winds labeled around the edge as T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M.
