The purple mangosteen (Latine name: Garcinia mangostana, Polish name: Mangostan właściwy), colloquially known simply as mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia. The tree grows from 7 to 25 m (20–80 ft) tall. The rind (exocarp) of the edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. Botanically an aril, the fragrant edible flesh can be described as sweet and tangy, citrusy with a flavour and texture similar to a peach.
Physalis (Polish name: Miechunka) is a genus of plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), native to warm temperate and subtropical regions throughout the world. The genus is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx. Many Physalis species are called groundcherries. They are herbaceous plants growing to 0.4–3 m tall, similar to the common tomato - a relative - but usually with a stiffer, more upright stem; they can be either annual or perennial. Most require full sun and fairly warm to hot temperatures. Physalis fruits uses are similar to the common tomato or to fruits with a refreshing taste. Once extracted from its husk, it may be eaten raw or used in salads, desserts, as a flavoring, and in jams and jellies. They can also be dried and eaten much like raisins or other small dried fruit.
I have a fascination for everything Japanese, their arts and culture and buildings, and it has been a long held wish that I can one day visit there! So to me this Japanese style tea service and wall hanging are very exotic.'

She was so exotic and attractive (at Celtfest) that I snuck a shot. She was only about 6ft away, but I pulled it off without her being interrupted.

Elk on a Exotic Ranch . This is not a drive through park, we were just on the back roads and came upon a bridge over a creek and all these elk where in it...They didn't stay long when I got there but long enough to pull off two shots...It has been very hot here and there where about 8 elk in total , mostly all were actually sitting in the creek , until I made my presence, after that they one by one got up and scampered off into the woods ..It took about 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen.I think they were enjoying the coolness of the sand in the creek bed...They made my day for sure
I am yours...
However distant you may be,
There blows no wind, but wafts your scent to me,
There sings no bird, but calls your name to me,
Each memory that has left its trace with me...

The 03 shunter was something we didn't see much of in the north-west, apart from 03 073 at Birkenhead maybe, so two together was a rare treat, albeit withdrawn ones. 03 084 and 03 158 were both in a vandalised state on the scrapline having arrived from Norwich Crown Point. 03 084 was delivered new as D2084 on 19th March 1959 and withdrawn on 5th July 1987. 03 158 was delivered new as D2158 on 22nd August 1960 and withdrawn also on 5th July 1987. Happily both locos were subsequently preserved. 03 084 is curently at WCRC, Carnforth being used as the depot shunter. 03 158 moved on from being an operational loco at the GCR sidings at Rothley, current whereabouts unknown, to me at least.
