Hall Green station looks fairly similar now, the main building is intact with the original canopy and that timber shed next to the "Gents" has gone to be replaced by a well tended flower bed. Peters platform has fared less well, the building behind the lady with the beehive hair-do was demolished and the replacement is a bus shelter. This was done at the time the line was slated for closure Hall Green and Yardley wood suffered but Shirley was spared.
By the bridge is a mechanical signal, the box is behind Peter. Leaning against the spear fencing the gardener has left his rake, the running in board has one of the rock edged flower beds. Today the platforms have neat planters and they are filled with well tended plants, volunteers of course.

As some of you know, I have recently posted numerous photos from a couple of past trips to the Southwest (US), including some from Canyonlands National Park (Utah). Today I was stunned when I found this aerial shot -- of Canyonlands. That's the Green River winding its way through the desert, eventually hooking up with the Colorado River some miles to the south.
I am in my hometown for next few days and though the internet is choppy, I am trying to upload fresh photos. You cannot imagine how much I love being able to click after being cramped in a city with open fields not in sight.
These wheat crops are in their ideal state for photography, not yet ripe yet grown fully with green crops.

I really wish the guy at the front had been a bit more central. Damn you man, so inconsiderate!
This place is called Red Rocks, after the red sandstone. This particular spot is under water for almost half every day which explains the green colouring. At the mouth of the Dee estuary, Hoylake, Wirral.
An adult Spotted-thighed Tree Frog (Litoria cyclorhyncha) basks in the morning sun along the margin of an artificial water supply on the elevated limestone plateau overlooking the Nullarbor basin and Indian Ocean at Eucla, WA.
It appears likely that this species has been transported inadvertently here from the west, as disjunct populations centred on settlements have been recently found and occur eastwards and well into South Australia. There are a number of issues raised concerning the ramifications of these potential movements, as the species has the ability to be a highly adaptable coloniser.

Take a look at "green jewelry" large and on black
Strolling through the Meadows this afternoon, the trees are continuing to stir from their winter slumbers. Some branches sport only green shoots budding out, others are already starting to grow out their summery leaves. The spring light was shining through some of them today, and I had to take some close ups.
Happens every spring, and yet each year it still feels like a wonderful miracle Mother Nature bestows on us (and in these pandemic days, the beauty of nature has been an absolute godsend)
315) Greater Green Leafbird
Greater Green Leafbird, Chloropsis sonnerati, Burung Daun Besar
This species of leafbird is distinguished from the lesser green leafbird by its powerful beak, yellow throat and eye ring of the female; and lack of a yellow border along the black throat patch found in the male lesser green leafbird. It moves quite conspicuously at the canopy level, jumping between branches and flying from tree to tree. It often visits fruiting fig trees, but also takes insects and small invertebrates.

I gave up on insects and shifted my focus to the flowers. I'm not sure what this one is but it is pretty.
What a beauty this bird is. Thank you Mr. Honeycreeper for posing for me 🌎
Males are a unique green-blue color with black hood and a banana yellow beak. Female are a brighter, uniform green, with yellow lower bill and grayish legs.
