Between the days of miserable wind and rain we have had fine mild ones and there are still flowers everywhere if you bother to look. Those Calendula are amazing to see at this time of year.

Beside the few I have put in this montage there are ones I have posted separately: early camelias, clematis 'Freckles' and 'Apple Blossom', Berberis, hydrangeas with their winter skeletons, a bit of heather, and my pansies which somehow hang on most of the winter.

Also, there are a prodigious number of buds on the camelias, and some of the bulbs are showing the tips.

Joy to come soon!

 

I wish you all a healthy and creative 2014!

Whilst visiting the Imperial War Museum, Duxford the unmistakable sound of a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter could be heard approaching. Stepping outside we watched the aircraft approach and then carry out a series of landings and take off circuits from the adjacent airfield. Unfortunately, the Chinook was too far away with the sun in the wrong position and basically beyond the capabilities of my Samsung A7 phone camera to take a standard acceptable image. However, as you can see all was not lost and I have managed this more dramatic/artistic black and white effort, 2nd December 2025.

We had planned to go into NYC today to meet up with some internet buddies, but on Friday discovered we couldn't swing it. This was especially sad because we'd had our hearts set on getting some Christmas-themed Magnolia cupcakes. Instead, Schnookie made these beauties from scratch and you know what? They might not have been as pretty, but they tasted a lot better than Magnolia would have.

Hello. I've been stupid busy being plagued by existential crises and all. I suck at this whole "upload every day" thing.

This Sweet Gum is good for maybe another week or two.

Still no snow yet in my area of Ohio but I have awoken the past few mornings to a hard frost. These pics are from this morning 06 Dec hard frost.

Knaresborough Down Home 2 (lever 9) frames one of the more unusual signal boxes on the Network, seen here on the 16th December 2014. Knaresborough signal box was built by the North Eastern Railway of stone and attached to the end of a row of terraced houses. It dates from 1872 although the upper half was rebuilt in 1890 and houses a 12 lever McKenzie and Holland mechanical frame. The signal box is a Grade II listed building.

The second paratrooper tossing the grenade in.

 

Two members of the 101st airborne discover a German MG42 bunker while on patrol and quickly take it out with a grenade, while being covered by the fire of a BAR. The snow is lying so deep that the bunker is almost underground adn that the soldier only hast to toss the M2 Frag grenade in the viewport. A german rifleman who could escape the first blow was able to escape through the bunker's door and is now in firing range of the BAR gunner.

 

'Quick' build. Although I have had the base lying around for a couple months now :P, I just finished the details the other day. First chance to use my BAR too :P The ice cream scoops are supposed to be the snow shot up by the BAR's fire. Enjoy!

My pond in early December.

 

The patterns always amaze me.
