Off work today and not too much to do so just taking it easy.
A short walk earlier -this is the little wood just a field away from my house.
A little rain cleans the streets, and heaven knows, they need cleaning. You can probably tell which corner of SF I work by the repeat pictures I take.
A Northern Cardinal on Avery Island, Louisiana, near dusk, hence the very soft focus. They must have been the models for angry birds, right?
one side planted up - slowly but surely getting there. Good to get a bed filled and then plant out stuff in it before filling the next bed.

I've never captured a copper beech tree half way through the change in the colour of it's leaves. Absolutely love copper beech trees, they are so photogenic!
My father's caption reads" Priscilla, Marion, Mrs. Kurtz.
From the photograph album of my fathers passage aboard the Bremen in 1931 from New York to Southampton, Cherbourg and Bremen.
The Bremen (4) was launched in 1929.

Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.
Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.
This group of musicians played traditional music, drank beer and generally enjoyed themselves as they entertained pilgrims and tourists near Senso-Ji temple.
Spotted this guy looking through the window last night, casing the joint I guess. Please don't comment on the smudgy window.
Today is day 133 of Project 365 (Thursday).
James looks out from behind Seljalandsfoss, a huge waterfall that has a trail going behind it. Again on the south coast, one of our cloudier days. He has a ghost image reflected on the water.

Visited the De Young yesterday. Always love watching people react to art.
Rainy Season in the Tropics, 1866
Frederic Edwin Church
Today is day 262 of Project 365
the Week is the spiral galaxy NGC 2566, which sits 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis. A prominent bar of stars stretches across the centre of this galaxy, and spiral arms emerge from each end of the bar. Because NGC 2566 appears tilted from our perspective, its disc takes on an almond shape, giving the galaxy the appearance of a cosmic eye.
As NGC 2566 gazes at us, astronomers gaze right back, using Hubble to survey the galaxy’s star clusters and star-forming regions. The Hubble data are especially valuable for studying stars that are just a few million years old; these stars are bright at the ultraviolet and visible wavelengths to which Hubble is sensitive. Using these data, researchers will measure the ages of NGC 2566’s stars, helping to piece together the timeline of the galaxy’s star formation and the exchange of gas between star-forming clouds and stars themselves.
Several other astronomical observatories have examined NGC 2566, including the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The Webb data complement this Hubble image, adding a view of NGC 2566’s warm, glowing dust to Hubble’s stellar portrait. At the long-wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum, NGC 2566 has also been observed by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA is a network of 66 radio telescopes that work together as one to capture detailed images of the clouds of gas in which stars form. Together, Hubble, Webb and ALMA provide an overview of the formation, lives and deaths of stars in galaxies across the Universe.
[Image Description: An oval-shaped spiral galaxy. Its core is a compact, glowing blue spot. A bright bar of light, lined with dark reddish dust, extends horizontally to the edge of the disc. A spiral arm emerges from each end of the bar and follows the edge of the disc, lined with blue and red glowing patches of stars, to the opposite end and a little off the galaxy. Blue stars are scattered between us and the galaxy.]

This the largest photomosaic ever assembled from NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observations. It is a panoramic view of the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away. It took over 10 years to make this vast and colorful portrait of the galaxy, requiring over 600 Hubble snapshots. The galaxy is so close to us, that in angular size it is six times the apparent diameter of the full Moon, and can be seen with the unaided eye. For Hubble’s pinpoint view, that’s a lot of celestial real estate to cover. This stunning, colorful mosaic captures the glow of 200 million stars. That’s still a fraction of Andromeda’s population. And the stars are spread across about 2.5 billion pixels. The detailed look at the resolved stars will help astronomers piece together the galaxy’s past history that includes mergers with smaller satellite galaxies.
[Image description: The Andromeda galaxy, a spiral galaxy, spreads across the image. It is tilted nearly edge-on to our line of sight so that it appears very oval. The borders of the galaxy are jagged because the image is a mosaic of smaller, square images against a black background. The outer edges of the galaxy are blue, while the inner two-thirds is yellowish with a bright, central core. Dark, dusty filamentary clouds wrap around the outer half of the galaxy’s disk. At 10 o’clock, a smaller dwarf elliptical galaxy forms a fuzzy, yellow blob. Hubble’s sharp vision distinguishes about 200 million stars within the image.]
