Known only as the "Gentleman Privateer", the captain of the Rover has arrived with his cutter and crew in Terra Nova...
...presumably?
I have been hanging around looking for the owner but not seen her. She must be good at staying under my radar
The leaves look like bramble leaves to me but not sure
I have 4 "bug hotels" but generally i only see mud type cappings from mason bees and potter wasps (i do see the potter wasps going in and out)
so this one was a nice surprise to see.

Between 2018 and 2022 relief lifeboat RNLB MARINE ENGINEER served on the Douglas station following the withdrawal of the RNLB SIR WILLIAM HILLARY. She is seen here alongside the visitor pontoon at Battery Pier, Douglas whilst maintenance work is undertaken on the boathouse and slipway.
The station is currently served by RNLB RUBY CLERY the former Ramsey Lifeboat.

Douglas Lifeboat Station is located at Battery Pier, Douglas Head, in the City of Douglas, capital of the Isle of Man.
Douglas and the Isle of Man holds a special place in the history of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), previously the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), as this was the home of its founder, Sir William Hillary, 1st Baronet, 1771–1847.
The first Douglas lifeboat was funded by the Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man, and arrived in 1802. A lifeboat station operated by the RNIPLS was opened in 1825. The station was re-established by the RNLI in 1868.
The station currently operates one of the last two Mersey-class lifeboats still in active service, 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181), on station since 2022.
In 1802, a lifeboat was provided to Douglas by the John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man. She was an 8-oared 25-foot-long boat costing £130, named Atholl, and was one of 31 lifeboats built by Henry Greathead. There are no records of any service by the boat. The boat was kept out in the open on the beach and was washed away and wrecked in a storm of December 1814.
On 6 October 1822, the Royal Naval Ship Vigilant was wrecked on the Conister Rock (later the location of the Tower of Refuge), and it was only due to the daring actions of Sir William Hillary, Bt. and a group of volunteers, using local boats, that 97 men were rescued.
Having witnessed many wrecks and loss of life whilst living in Douglas, and now inspired by the events of 1822, Hillary published his Appeal to the Nation in 1823. He gained the support of his philanthropic friends in London Society.
A public meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopgate on 4 March 1824, with attendees including the archbishop of Canterbury, various MPs, and high-profile public figures such as William Wilberforce and sea rescue expert Capt. George William Manby FRS. It was resolved to form the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck.
The Institution was granted royal patronage by King George IV on 20 March 1824, thus becoming the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson was made president, with Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Charles Manners-Sutton becoming vice-president. Hillary was awarded an honorary Gold Medal as founder.
In August 1824, Hillary requested of the Institution, that a new lifeboat station be established at Douglas. The request was approved, and an order for a boat, the first lifeboat ordered by the Institution, was placed with William Plenty of Newbury, previously the winner of a lifeboat-design competition. He provided a 20-foot lifeboat, named Nestor, which arrived in Douglas in early October 1825.
However, also following the events of October 1822, a group of marine insurance companies including Lloyd's of London had already agreed in April 1824 to fund a new lifeboat for Douglas. She was a 29-foot North Country type, built by Wake of Sunderland, and cost £112. She arrived in Douglas in November 1824, 11 months before the Institution boat, and was named True Blue.
It may be that Nestor suffered a very short career. On her first and only recorded service, to the vessel City of Glasgow in trouble in Douglas Bay, Nestor was driven onto the rocks on her return trip and badly damaged, although the 15 people rescued from the ship and the lifeboat crew made it safely ashore.
There are conflicting reports of exactly which lifeboats were in service at Douglas after this time. Certainly, the True Blue remained in service for many years until 1851, with many heroic and medal-winning services performed. Hillary requested that new stations be set up in Peel (1828) and Ramsey (1829), and a new boat for Peel was ordered from Taylor of Blackwall. Another boat was ordered locally, a 29-foot 10-oared Palmer-type boat, from boat builder Robert Oates of Douglas. Whilst one report shows that this boat was being built for Ramsey, another report indicates that Ramsey's boat was actually built by Harton of London and transported to Ramsey aboard HM Cutter Industry, arriving on 20 February 1829.
A Glasgow boat, Eclipse, ran aground in Douglas Bay in January 1830. Hillary, along with lifeboat coxswain Isaac Vondy and crew, took the unfinished boat from Robert Oates's yard and launched to her aid. In extreme circumstances, with the lifeboat still missing air-cases, causing her to carry excess water from the pounding waves, everyone was safely recovered. Hillary received his second Gold Medal for gallantry.
In 1833, RNLI records show two Douglas lifeboats in service. One was the True Blue, but it is unclear as to the identity of the second boat – maybe the unnamed boat from Robert Oates, or possibly the Nestor, which may have been repaired. By 1843, just True Blue was reported to be in service at Douglas.
A period of decline followed the death of Hillary in 1847, the driving force behind the Institution on the island. A report of 1851 records the True Blue as unserviceable. The Institution decided to commission a 24-foot Peake-class lifeboat from Wallis of Blackwall, to be named Sir William Hillary, Bt., and by May 1853, it was reported as ready. But no records show any service by this boat, or indeed that it was ever delivered to Douglas.
In 1866, the RNLI resolved to form a new lifeboat station at Douglas. A new boathouse was built on Harris promenade, at the corner of Church Road, and a 32-foot self-righting lifeboat was commissioned with Forrestt of Limehouse, London, costing £246.
£325 was received from the Manchester and Salford Sunday School Fund, which covered the cost of the boat, plus all kit and equipment, and the launching carriage. On 6 February 1868, the boat was transported by rail to Manchester, and paraded through the streets to Peel Park, Salford, where she was greeted by about 10,000 Sunday-school children and parents and was named Manchester and Salford Sunday School.
In 1872, William Curphey took over as coxswain. However, when a launch in September 1873 failed to rescue 3 men from drowning, he resigned, citing that the boathouse was in the wrong location, which had caused unnecessary delays in launching.
The RNLI subsequently decided to place a second boat at the harbour, to be kept afloat at its moorings, and creating a No. 2 station. This boat arrived in 1874, and was named John Turner-Turner in the memory of the late husband of Mrs Turner-Turner of Ringwood, Hampshire, who had provided the funds for the boat.
The No. 1 station effectively closed when the boat house on Harris promenade was sold to Douglas Corporation in 1892, although the No. 1 boat Thomas Rose (ON 191) was still in service, and kept under a tarpaulin at the quay. A severe storm of December 1895 caused the No. 2 boat, by then Civil Service No. 6 (ON 273), to break her moorings, and she was wrecked on the rocks. She was withdrawn from service, and No. 2 station closed.
In 1896, following a meeting between the RNLI and Douglas Harbour Commissioners, a new boat house on the Battery Quay was commissioned, along with a slipway. A replacement boat was also ordered, another 42-foot 12-oared self-righting boat, built by Rutherford's of Birkenhead. Costing £618, she was also named Civil Service No.6 (ON 384), arriving in Douglas on 5 June 1896. The entire cost was met by the Civil Service Fund. Thomas Rose was withdrawn from service.
In 1920, the RNLI announced that a new motor-powered lifeboat would be provided for Douglas. A new lifeboat house and slipway was constructed, mounted on piles built in the harbour in front of the existing boathouse, and costing £10,000. The lifeboat was a 45ft Watson-class, built by S. E. Saunders, costing £8,456. Arriving in Douglas in November 1924 and funded by the Manchester and Salford branch of the RNLI, she was sailed over to Trafford Wharf on the Manchester Ship Canal in June 1925, for a naming ceremony attended by over 25,000 people. She was duly named Manchester and Salford (ON 689) by Lady Fry, wife of the Lieutenant governor of the Isle of Man.
Present day: In March 2024, the 1920s boathouse is still in use, awaiting a decision on a replacement boathouse and lifeboat. All-weather Mersey-class lifeboat 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181) is on service, having been transferred from her previous homes at Peel and Ramsey.

This week's Macro Mondays (9th March) is the theme "Cutter". The series of shots here are my thoughts and working shots ... not necessarily my final choice.
This is one of the top cutting horses in the nation.
Softbox camera right. Strobe behind horse at some distance.
On the 23rd of October 2016, Sian K1tt3h and I got to put a shoot together which we had been planning for a while.
Massive thank you to Matt, who helped assist us.

As you can see, i don't own very specialized tools. Except for that lino cutter at the back, I already had these tools before I started rubber stamp carving.
The paper cutter you see in front works way better than X-acto knives! I find that I have greater control and use it almost exclusively for all my stamps...
The v-shaped cutter was taken from a beginners' wood-carving set I bought more than 5 years ago. I don't even remember why I bought them in the first place! Anyway, this is the only one that can be used in the set. I use it to pick out really fine lines, like for my name stamps and the rabbit's belt. ;)
The lino cutter at the back came in a set but I was very disappointed! I am only able to use the curved cutter for final touches and for gouging. The v-shaped cutter in this set gave me uneven lines and the rest were too wide for the intricate work required with rubber stamp carving...
Hope it helps! :)

The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs. This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm. ~ ancnoc.com/whiskies/archived-collection/peaty/cutter/

This week's Macro Mondays (9th March) is the theme "Cutter". The series of shots here are my thoughts and working shots ... not necessarily my final choice.
This is a home brew laser cutter I made from a pair of old flatbed scanners. It uses a ~200mW red laser diode from a DVD burner, installed in a focusing module and heat sink (the aluminum block in the top scanner) , and features a USB connected 2-axis driver board (board kit is from Chapp Inc.). The control software features a simple GUI that lets you create and save motion paths and provides indication of various machine states. The board/SW also supports over-travel limit and homing, plus it outputs a programmable PWM signal to control external devices. The laser can cut black paper and thin dark-colored plastic; black styro food trays from the deli cut nicely too.
The different cutters for the Kelley-How-Thomson Co. Both are from no. 2-size planes, the cutter that was made by Stanley was stamped on the front and back sides with the HICKORY brand name.
Note: the red & blue "KHT" logo was scanned from Kelley-How's 1941 catalogue cover.
Please check out my set “No.2 alike”, perhaps click and watch a slide show, might be fun?

The Midway Mall opened in 1966 with Higbee's, Sears, JCPenney, and Woolworth as anchor stores. Over the years, Higbee's became Dillard's (then closed in 2007) and Woolworth became Best Buy. A new south wing was added to Midway Mall in 1990. That wing featured a May Company department store (later Kaufmann's and Macy's before closing in early 2016).
As of Summer 2017, the Sears department store is closing and the mall has just been sold for $4.25 million on July 12th. As of writing this, the buyer of the mall has yet to be known. The rumors for what happens to the mall next are all over the place; they range from a hospital complex to a hotel / casino complex to a giant mobile home park (obviously a joke)...
Hopefully something actually is done rather than letting the mall slowly die like Randall Park or Rolling Acres did. At least the occupancy in this mall has stabilized for the small stores over the last couple years instead of continuing downward. The department store closings seem to be the biggest drain on the mall; JCPenney is the last traditional department store left at the mall after the Sears closing.
I decided to post these 130 photos as the photos that bring me over 10,000 photo mark on Flickr. I chose this mall because it is my hometown mall.

The Bundaberg Region.
The rich volcanic soils of the plains near Bundaberg and the Burnett River were covered with thick scrub and bush but a few adventurous pastoralists tried to establish sheep grazing there in the 1850s. It was easier away from the Bundaberg site at Gin Gin and Gayndah further inland. More white settlers came in the mid-1860s as timber cutters. In these early years clashes with the local Aboriginal people were often violent. Aboriginal massacres are known to have occurred at Gin Gin in 1850, in North Bundaberg in the early 1860s. The first timber cutters arrived in the Bundaberg area 1867 followed by the first white farmers also in 1867. The first saw mill was erected in 1868. The town site was surveyed and laid in 1870. Experimental sugar cane farms began around 1871 and within a few months the sugar mills was built. As sugar plantations increased Bundaberg ended up with four major sugar mills. The sugar cane plantations were usually owned by the mills, run as large plantations and they employed Kanaka or South Sea Islander indentured labourers. Thus like Maryborough Bundaberg became a main entry point for the South Sea Islanders. The town grew quickly as more farmers took up small selections or acreages often growing maize or small amounts of sugar cane. The local Kolan Shire council was formed in 1873 and Bundaberg was emerging as a town. It became a municipality in 1881 and a city in 1913. The discovery of copper and that start of mining operations at nearby Mt Perry in 1871 really boosted the prospects of Bundaberg. The first bank opened in 1872, the first newspaper began publication in 1875 and a coach service operated to Maryborough until the railway line was completed in 1888. The government wharf in Bundaberg was built in 1875 with the main cargoes being timber and maize. The Primitive Methodists built an early brush and timber church in 1877 and the Anglicans completed their first church in 1876. But the Catholics were the first to build a permanent church which was consecrated in 1875. The town was well established but the big transformation occurred in the early 1880s when the land owners developed the sugar industry to its full extent until sugar eclipsed all other crops. In 1881 the Bundaberg region produced 3% of QLD’s sugar crop. In 1883 it produced 20% of QLD’s sugar crop. This domination of sugar persisted from 1880 through to 1915. New sugar mills started up with the new Millaquin mill in 1882 and mills for the Youngs of Fairymead and the Gibsons of Bingera. Stable prices for sugar assisted with this development of sugar mills and by the mid-1880s more sugar farms were being established reliant on European labour instead of South Sea Islander labour. The 1885 QLD Royal Commission into malpractices with the Kanaka trade meant the government intervened more to control conditions of the indentured labourers and limited the trade. These restrictions were lifted in 1891 to boost the sugar industry again but the emerging labour unions and associations of white labourers opposed the revival of the Kanaka trade as their employment suffered because of the trade. The new Commonwealth government of 1901 made the decision to cease the trade from 1906. As the sugar industry had to restructure itself the QLD government started to build and financially back the sugar mills itself at Gin Gin and Isis. They also tried to control the mills of Fairymead and Bingera and CSR (Colonial Sugar Refining.)The Labour government of QLD established sugar price control in 1915 and set up a board of appeal for complaints from growers against the sugar mills. By 1915 Bundaberg was in fierce competition with sugar cane areas in the Far North QLD and the industry was much regulated. But it has survived well to the present day. This has been assisted by a new port at Burnett Heads which was built in 1962.
Apart from the sugar industry the growth of Bundaberg has been assisted by mining, fruit and vegetable growing and the development of side products from sugar – molasses and rum distilling. The first rum was distilled from the Millaquin sugar mill in 1888. The town was boosted greatly by the opening of the railway from North Bundaberg to Mt Perry copper mines in 1884 which in turn encouraged the establishment of foundries and works to support the mines in Bundaberg. By the 1880s Bundaberg has some grand buildings appropriate for a regional city. The commercial and civic heart of the town was in Bourbong Street with the Post Office 157 Bourbong St (1891), the War Memorial 180 Bourbong St (1922), the School of Arts building 184 Bourbong St (1889), the former Commercial Bank 191 Bourbong St (1891) etc.
Fairymead Plantation Homestead.
One of the great plantation homesteads, not quite as grand as the Southern American slave homesteads, is Fairymead in Bundaberg. It was built in 1890 in the Indian bungalow style of the British Raj occupation of India. It was built for Ernest and Margaret Young the owners of the Fairymead sugar mill. Margret Young’s brother was an architect and designed the house for the subtropical Bundaberg climate. It has 16 foot ceilings and a wide veranda encircles the house. The house was near the mill on the plantation and after World War One was used as accommodation for mill workers until Ernest Young’s grandson and his family moved back into the house in 1960. In 1988 it was donated to the City of Bundaberg and it was eventually transported into the Botanic Gardens site. The house is furnished as it was in 1890 and the interior arrangement of rooms has been little altered since then. The Fairymead sugar plantation was established by three Young brothers in 1880 when they bought 3,200 acres near Bundaberg. Their first sugar was sent to the Millaquin sugar mill until they completed their own sugar mill in 1884. They introduced a railway system to bring the cane to the mill and from 1902 they had irrigation water available if needed for the plantation. They pioneered mechanised single row harvesting of the cane in 1938 which was developed after World War Two to cover two rows. In the 1970s several Bundaberg mills and companies merged to form the Bundaberg Sugar Company.
