Dieser kleine Schmetterling, ein Landkärtchen (Araschnia levana) oder Landkärtchenfalter auf einer Ringelblume (Calendula officinalis) fand ich am Waldrand. Als Lebensraum bevorzugen diese Edelfalter feuchte Hochstaudenfluren mit Brennnesseln, wie sie in lichten Wäldern, an Waldrändern und Übergangsmooren anzutreffen sind. Es müssen sowohl die Bedürfnisse der Raupen nach hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit und Schatten als auch die der Falter nach reichlich blühenden Stauden erfüllt sein. Der Falter lebt im Flach- und Hügelland der tiefen Lagen und steigt nur selten über 1000 Meter auf.
Die Landkärtchenfalter der zweiten in einem Jahr geborenen Generation unterscheiden sich stark von denen der ersten Generation. Man nahm deshalb früher an, dass es sich um zwei verschiedene Arten handle. Dieser Saisondimorphismus wird hier durch die Tageslänge während der Raupenentwicklung gesteuert. Die von der zweiten Generation stammenden Puppen überwintern. Aus ihnen werden Falter der ersten jährlichen Generation.
It was exciting to see this juvenile Red bellied Woodpecker show up the other day, checking out the seed-leg feeder. I can only guess mom and/or dad showed him where to come for some good eatin' in the neighborhood. LOL!
Here's hoping to more Red bellies in the future, and that they will also show their young where some of the best buffet dining can be found.

Fall colors in Mono County yesterday.
The fall colors this year have been somewhat disorderly, with early-turning trees that have already dropped leaves mixed with remaining green trees and peaking oranges and yellows. But that's more normal than not. Nature is inherently chaotic; it doesn't follow predictions, our desire for order. That's part of the adventure and reward of nature photography: the capacity for what you discover to exceed your preconceived expectations.
A set of 1930’s MU cars make a station stop at Convent Station, New Jersey, while a U34CH pushes its more modern train toward Hoboken.
Generation 2 of Chevrolet’s Camaro began to be available during February, 1970 and lasted through til Model Year 1981.
In addition to the obvious cutsomizations to the hood and wheels/tires, there's a slight alteration to this Camaro's appearance that looks authentic but was not offered by the factory. Can you spot it?
37 years separate the build dates of these two locomotives. The U25C ushered GE into the 6 axle diesel electric locomotive market in the United States, and by the 80's they were number 1 in that field. Thousands upon thousands of engines followed 2501 out the doors of the GE Erie Plant, including 1015 in 2001.
A few units from the gap between these still ply LS&I rails in the form of a pair of Ex-BN U30C's and C30-7's, making this a very unique operation.

If at first you don't succeed try try again goes the saying and tonight was one of those occasions. I saw on the weather apps there was meant to be a brief period of clear skies so nipped out in to the night to my current favourite electricity pylon.
I shot this last week and relied on a nearby telecoms mast to light up the pylon but I wasn't satisfied with the results. Roll forward a week and I think I may have overdone it!
Just testing my new lens " Nikon 50mm 1.8 "
on that small quite kIDOO ABUOOOD
and this is the result hope you like it :D
What's a better title? Maybe 'hands'? or 'young never grow old' like the song...?
The uncle saw me holding a camera so he put his hand up... while the guy is oblivious (or flattered?) to me. Hahaha.
Carousel Buses
Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro of two generations to the left, and MAN 14.240 / MCV Evolution to the right.
871 CB51BUS, 880 BT09GOP and 418 AE59AWH
The Citaros to the left display the "only" displays for the A40 and 740 with no vias (which will see seldom public use); the MCV on the right has been updated to advertise that contactless payment is now accepted on Carousel.
This picture was taken before I realised 871 had its high beam on!
The first-generation Ford F-Series is a series of pickup trucks and commercial vehicles produced by Ford. Introduced in late 1947, the F-Series was the first post-war truck design from Ford. The first generation of the F-Series would remain in production until 1952. F-Series trucks were assembled at sixteen different Ford factories. Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number. The most common model was the F-1 with a 6 ½-foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3 Express models with an 8-foot (2.4 m) bed. The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (went on sale January 16, 1948) as a replacement for the pre-War designed Ford trucks. It had a flat, one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps. It had a wider cab. Options included the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and passenger-side taillight. The F-1 truck was also available with additional chrome trim and two horns as an option. All F-series were available with optional "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959. Design of the F-Series truck changed tremendously from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to 1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in these later trucks and the dashboard was redesigned. This new cab was called the "Five-Star Cab".
