Yellow Rattle / rhinanthus minor. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 30/05/20.
View of the top of a Yellow Rattle plant in prime condition. Love the distinctive yellow flower structures and the way each one protrudes from a green calyx. This is a plant that needs celebrating, instrumental in creating and maintaining rich biodiverse meadows.
Long may it rattle!

'TAKING A DIFFERENT VIEW.'
An oblique view of the front of a Yellow Rattle flower.
You can see that the three lobes on the lower lip had a crimped appearance because the flower was not fully open. Tiny, sparkling spider silks adorned the green calyxes from which the flowers protruded.

UNO SUL PALO, UNO SUL FILO
Il gabbiano è un uccello che fa parte della famiglia Laridae, ma in realtà sarebbe più giusto parlare di gabbiani perché ne esistono diversi generi e specie. Il genere principale della sottofamiglia Larinae è Larus. Sono volatili di taglia media e li troviamo soprattutto lungo le coste.
Non è tuttavia infrequente trovarli anche lungo corsi d’acqua interni. Inoltre esistono colonie di gabbiani anche in alcune città, ben distanti dal mare.

The seagull is a bird that is part of the Laridae family, but in reality it would be more correct to talk about seagulls because there are different genera and species. The main genus of the Larinae subfamily is Larus. They are medium-sized birds and we find them especially along the coasts.
However, it is not uncommon to find them along internal waterways as well. Furthermore, there are colonies of seagulls in some cities, far from the sea.

My image shows the top of a Yellow Rattle plant just after the yellow flowers had emerged. A closer view shows the sides of a tiny bluish tooth protruding from the curved upper lip.
Yellow Rattle is a hemi-parasitic plant of grassy habitats that takes nutrients from grass roots. This action consequently restricts the growth of grasses, allowing other plants to gain a foothold. Increasing the biodiversity of a grassland can only be a good thing.
More and more meadows nowadays are being sown with Yellow Rattle to enrich the habitats for bees, insects, invertebrates, moths and butterflies. In turn, the meadows become more attractive to birds and mammals - (as well as the human eye of course!)

This is a photograph of another of the information signs at Kildrummy Castle. The picture shows the great siege of 1306. The besieging army of Edward of Carnarvon can be seen arrayed around the outside of the dry moat (which was 85 feet wide). The tops of the walls and towers have, as was usual in those days, wooden hoardings built on them, from which the outer faces of the walls could be more easily defended by archers and from where projectiles and other forms of nastiness could be dropped on attackers below.
The events which brought the 1306 siege of Kildrummy to a close, are the subject of a well know Scottish tale - a copy of which, published by Fenton Wyness in 1970, it is worth setting out here in full. It is mostly true!
Osbarn the Smith
On the southern slopes of Ben Newe, at a little place called Greenstyle, there lived, nearly 650 years ago (over 700 now!) a family called Osbarn. There were three sons in the family and, as was the custom at that time, each was known by the occupation which he followed. Thus the eldest was known as Osbarn the Smith, for he plied his trade of blacksmith in the district.
The Osbarn family were rather unpopular in the neighbourhood, especially the Smith, but, being a good craftsman, he was always kept busy, for there was much work to be done in those far-off days.
Not many miles from his home stood the great castle of Kildrummy, then at the very height of its fame as one of Scotland’s most formidable strongholds. There was generally a large garrison at the castle, fully armed and horsed, so it was not surprising that Osbarn the Smith obtained the position of blacksmith to the castle. At Kildrummy there was plenty for him to do, for, besides shoeing horses, there were arms to repair, stout hinges and bolts to be made, massive iron yetts to be constructed and farm implements to be made. Many, indeed, envied Osbarn the Snith, for he was well paid for his services and lived in comfort and security within the great fortress.
But Osbarn was not happy. He had one unfortunate weakness – greed. To him, money was the only thing that mattered in the world, and he went to all extremes to increase his wealth. He therefore had no loyalties and no friends.
It was the summer of the year 1306. King Robert the Bruce had been defeated at Methven, near Perth, and had taken to the hills. Eventually he made for Aberdeen, where the queen, his daughter Marjorie and his brother Nigel met him. Others joined the royal party, but the approach of the English drove them to the west, and at Dalty, in Argyll, the king was obliged to withdraw before the superior forces of his bitter enemy, John of Lorn. As the royal ladies could no longer endure the hardships of the campaign, the king sent them to Kildrummy Castle under the escort of his brother Nigel and the Earl of Athol.
There was great rejoicing at Kildrummy when the royal party arrived. In the party were the queen, Marjorie, the king’s sister Marie and his brother Nigel, the Countess of Buchan and the Earl of Athol, together with many knights and ladies of rank. But their rejoicing was short lived. Word reached the castle that Edward of Carnarvon, Prince of Wales, son of the terrible Edward I, was making for the north.
In haste, the queen, with Princess Marjorie and the other ladies, fled north, eventually reaching the sanctuary of St Duthac’s Chapel at Tain, while Nigel Bruce remained at Kildrummy to meet the assault of the English. The castle was prepared for siege. Vast stores of food and munitions of war were collected and stored in the great hall, the wall-heads were manned, the massive studded doors of the gatehouse were barred and bolted, the iron yetts swung into place and padlocked and the drawbridge raised. All was in readiness for the attack.

Back-to-School: GreenStyle, spotted in an abandoned School-Building at night. – 25. October 2013.
Photos taken the night before Exhibition-Opening, late October 2013. The building of Paulus-Canisius School in Recklinghausen, Germany went out of service in summer 2012. It will be demolished in the forthcoming future.
Back-to-School Exhibition of contemporary Graffiti-Art, was initiated by REspect4you in collaboration with Altstadtschmiede. Organized by Mr. Orm and supported by the City of Recklinghausen. – Special thanks to Mr. Orm for support, hospitality, beer and patience.
Green scales on a black background, stretch snakeskin fabric from M J Trends, a small company with a great selection of materials for costume work.
For men's tights, without a center front seam, a good pattern is greenstylecreations.com/products/free-greenstyle-mandex-t...
Item # 4 sewn from Pattern Revolution's Bundle Up pattern sale!
Pattern: Taylor Shorts by Greenstyle Creations
Option: 8" inseam
Modifications: used 5/8 inch side seam allowance to create a flat-felled side seam; for better, personalized fit, I increased the back darts by about 1/4 inch wider (then had to use a bigger allowance on the waistband side seams so the band's side seams would match the shorts side seams); I also left the right waistband longer past the fly shield and created a tab for a second button/buttonhole closure to help keep the front waistband even when worn (I have a pair of store-bought shorts that have this feature and like them, so I copied it)
Fabric: black stretch denim found among Walmart's "unknown content" fabrics for $3.50/yard (pocket linings are from scraps of cotton woven to reduce the bulk of adding more denim there)
Pattern: Plus Size Centerfield Raglan T-shirt by Greenstyle Creations
Fabric: body was upcycled from a tank top and sleeves/ neck binding were upcycled from some cut-off yoga pants (hooray for re-using existing hems)
Modification: I left the existing side seams intact because they were too close to the pattern to make it worth cutting and resewing. ;-)
Sewn and blogged (here: www.eymm.com/2014/09/26/asymmetrical-drape-top-everyday-y...) during Perfect Pattern Parcel sale in September 2014
