My Mexico connection. He came from Texas to Mexico as an Architect to build at the turn of the Century.
"Back in the Day" as we of a certain age say....It was almost exclusively male surfers. Now of course the Women have made a large impact. What I trying to say is it is the younger generations that are going to take that on further to where no one remarks or even notices...just surfers.

this past Friday, Chloe and I decided to take a drive over to the nearby Churchville Nature Center.
They have a delightful little fenced in garden, full of native wildflowers, and several little ponds
. Chloe and I were excited about the prospect of finding some frogs, and maybe a turtle or two sitting by the ponds.
There are usually plenty of them there.
But alas....when we pulled into the parking lot there were 6 school buses.
That meant there were schools having a field trip and there was going to be plenty of activity. The normally serene garden, was buzzing with action and noise.
As a result there was not a frog or turtle to be found,.
The funniest moment of all though, was when Chloe and I overheard a couple of kids complaining about not seeing anything.
I whispered to Chloe, "That's because they don't know the secret." (I'm always telling her the secret to seeing any wildlife is that you have be very quiet so you don't scare them away....sometimes now when we walk out back looking for the deer, and I say something to her, she'll shush me, and tell ME we have to be quiet!)
As we walked by the group of kids, Chloe stopped and said, "You can't see anything because you don't know the secret!"
The one kid took the bait and asked, "What's the secret?"
Chloe promptly replied. "You have to be quiet!, and walked away!
I had to chuckle.
We did manage to spot a couple of tadpoles. Chloe was really intrigued by the fact that these "fish" were going to grow arms and legs and then be able to walk out of the water, and in the end, when they were all done growing up they would be frogs.
LOL.....I'm not quite sure she believed me.
Sporting the slogan "We are the future", 66150 leads 6X01 Scunthorpe Trent Terminal Complex to Eastleigh East Yard past Washwood Heath. The reason for this is because the loco runs on Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO). The working was unusually top and tailed, with 66085 on the rear, as well as being operated by DB, with GBRf having taken over this working.

The inner sleeve of the Usborne Book of the Future featured this alien landscape with strange multipedal robots and it always fascinated me as a kid. The searingly bright sky suggested a planet bathed in a steady dose of radiation from the star in the sky, no vegetation, the baked rocks and the robots exploring.
That, and the goofy cool world of Micronauts vehicles and Starriors.
Spotted this little girl , at the Tulip Festival seriously focusing on taking a tulip close-up! Wonder how it turned out?!
Huntington Beach, California
a.k.a Surf City, USA
I am constantly amazed with the talent of the young and some very young surfers. There were quite a few of them on this morning. This particular dude (could he be more than 10 years old) was one of them. He was constantly able to find the right location to catch a wave and then to be able to actually ride it when so many seemingly more experienced surfer simply failed.

Another concept car variation. I just went for the most compact car that fits those wheels and two figs. There's no steering, no suspension, the wheels don't even spin, but it does fit two figs side-by-side.
I've been working on it yesterday and today and it's mostly done. I'm just waiting for some furniture and miniatures to complete it :)
Maybe this is a view of what the World Showcase will look like in the future.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
