Last weekend near Sonora, California. It probably won't look like this this weekend as we've had the biggest storm of the year!
Exploring at ground level, I came across these tiny plants. They formed a small colony in sandy-ish soil near the footpath above the Des Plaines. I've never seen them before but I'm fairly certain that this is the type of sandwort:

Thanks for looking!

“Cottonwood Grove, Evening” — Late-day light shines into a cottonwood grove along the Merced River, Yosemite Valley.
At the end of October I spent a couple of days photographing fall color in Yosemite Valley. Previously I posted about “three” main sources of fall foliage int he valley, listing big leaf maple, dogwood, and black oaks. But I left out another important tree, the cottonwood. This photograph was made within a grove of cottonwoods growing along a quiet section of the Merced River.
This particular spot is one that I’ve photographed quite a few times in the past. It is a little trickier to get there these days, since the park has limited access points in order to discourage visitors from trampling fragile locations that were once accessible. I had to search a bit to find a way to get here that didn’t violate the protected zones. Once I did, I walked along the river bank in later afternoon to this spot, where the trees grow thickly near the water.
Today's story and sketch "by me" you see Grover Fattalump one of our best Beaked Seeker "MCPPOTG" Man Cave Posse Protectors Of The Galaxy Deputies, who was enjoying a morning walk in the fog, along our beach, when as you can see by his expression was shocked as the fog was lifting, Grover spotted a spacecraft that had become lost in the "Sea Smoke", the coastal fog which has nearly crippled all transportation along the Pacific Coast. The fog is created by the Acme Fog Machine a diabolical contraption invented by Doctor Impenetrability, who is currently serving five consecutive life sentences at the Fifth Dimension Maximum Security Moon Penitentiary, for causing mayhem to intergalactic travelers coming to visit the "MCPPOTG" Man Cave Posse Protectors Of The Galaxy Gift Shop, they become lost in the fog and crash on our beach. The Man Cave's Deputies have so far located two of the Sea Smoke Devices, but apparently there could be many more, until the next update taa ta the Rod Blog.
This photo was taken on a recent trip to Japan. The photo was taken at Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto.
The equipment used to take this photograph was a Fujifilm XT-3 along with a Fujifilm 16-80mm f4 lens.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my photo. If you like it please feel free to check out some of my other work here on Flickr.
Former London Country/Green Line AEC Swift SMA1 seen in its second life with Groves of Sheffield, or the 'Nu-Life Window Bus Company' as they were christened in some circles.
It is seen in Sheffield in March 1987.
This was built in 1849 and is on the grounds of the Missouri Botanical Garden. It was the founder's (Henry Shaw) country residence. Thanks for going back in time with me.

A grove of old trees in late-autumn evening light.
This is the second of several photographs that resulted from going to some local holiday festivities — a big garden and mansion decked out in holiday lights and more... but it sure doesn't look like a holiday scene! After we arrived and parked our car we had to walk to the main facilities and along the way we passed this old grove. In the fading light (somewhat darker than the rendition in the photograph) it had a quality that was somewhere between slightly ominous and simply quiet and dark.
Typically I would probably use a tripod for a photograph like this one, but since our main reason for going to this event wasn't necessarily to make photographs I did not have one, so I cranked up the ISO and held the camera very still!

The light is fading as 150 137 heads a Buxton train into Hazel Grove station. Since the Blackpool trains were diverted to Manchester Airport there are only a few rush hour electric services using the line from Edgeley Junction to Hazel Grove which is a great waste of the investment that went into installing the catenary and associated infrastructure.
This must be something to do with the very wonderful Northern Powerhouse that our esteemed government keeps banging on about. This is the same government that funded the Ordsall curve in Manchester to allow services between Manchester Victoria and Piccadilly stations. They also removed the funds to increase capacity between Deansgate and Piccadilly with the result that the expensive track has exactly no passenger services using it at all. Joined up thinking at its best.
