While the sun is rising at the coast of Ballintoy, North Irland, two gold dragons are fighting over their hunting grounds.

This golden-crowned sparrow was one of several that would venture out of the grass onto the edge of the path for a bite, then go back in if perceived danger was detected. Spotted at Jackson Bottom wetlands.
This really is a splendid place, meticulously maintained. We celebrated my wife's birthday at their outdoor restaurant, then spent an hour or more walking the grounds.

A view of what is now the Artisans building on the Illinois State Fair grounds in Springfield. Originally known as the Poultry Palace, this handsome structure is the second oldest building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
The Poultry Palace was built following a disastrous storm in 1895 that killed many of the State Fair's feathered entries which, up to that time, had been housed in sheds. After the calamity, State Fair Poultry Superintendent, and future Governor Len Small, was quoted as saying: “the loss of valuable fowls was considerable, and the necessity of a suitable building, obvious.”
Construction of the Poultry Palace began in 1896, and was completed in time for the 1897 Illinois State Fair. Now repurposed as the Artisans Building, every Illinois State Fair, the building is filled with displays of Illinois crafts. During the rest of the year, the facility is rented for private gatherings such as wedding receptions, meetings, and high school proms.

The design for the Japanese Garden was conceived in 1970, construction started in 1971 and it was completed in 1974. It represents a gentle, horticultural gesture of sister ship between two sister cities, Buffalo and Kanazawa, Japan. Located on 6 acres along Delaware Park’s Mirror Lake, the original design contained over 1,000 plantings, nearly 20 globe-type lights, three small islands connected to the mainland by bridges.
A walk around the grounds around University of Canterbury club (Ilam). Some of the flowers are now past their prime but still a relaxing scene.
I took my car in to town for two new tyres and had some time to kill, so I had a walk around the Castle Grounds Park land in Tamworth and took some pictures of the trees with my iPhone. This is a Willow on the banks of the River Anchor just before the confluence with the River Tame. Date: 1st November, 2023.

This Thorn tree is said to have sprouted from Joseph of Aramathia's staff when he drove it into the ground here. The thorn tree is said to flower on Christmas Day. I don't know whether it really does as the abbey grounds are closed then, but it does flower over the Christmas period.
Job 18:17 “His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds.”
While wandering the grounds of the parkland at Harper's Ferry West Virginia we came across the remains of an old garden bed. Not very large and with a homemade fence around it, only parts of it still standing and what looked like a small chicken coop at one end of it. I found it sad that it was abandoned. But wondered things, like did the size indicated by the remaining fence produce enough food for a good sized family?
Interesting phraseology: ground coffee (the fresh off-the-shelf product) vs coffee grounds (the wastage following brewing).

IC #1021 rounds the curve at 35th Street near the site of the tomb of Stephen A. Douglas, Illinois Senator and lobbyist for the Illinois Central Railroad. The infamous Union prisoner-of-war camp, Camp Douglas, was located just north of here on land that Douglas sold to the State of Illinois in 1861. Dubbed "Andersonville of the North", it is estimated that over 6,000 Confederate prisoners died in the camp and are buried in Oak Woods Cemetery off 67th Street.
Friston Place was built by the early-16th-century on land previously granted by charter from Edward I to William Boyd Etchingham, and subsequently owned by the Lords de la Warr and the Potman family.Around 1500, a Thomas Selwyn acquired the land by marriage to Margery Potman and probably enlarged an existing 14th-century building into the timber-framed Wealden hall-house.
Friston Place is situated in a valley, a ‘deep dell' (Lower), of the South Downs, sheltered on all sides by Friston Forest and with wooded hills to the north. The site, which covers some 15 hectares, comprises the house and ornamental gardens. It lies some 7 kilometres south of the A22 Eastbourne to London road, 400 metres west of the village of Friston. The site is bounded on the east side by Jevington Road (the Friston to Polegate road) and to the north, south and west by Friston Forest.
