ANother day, another Grevillea. This time, I found this 12 foot shrub just blooming. I don't know how long it flowers, but this should give y'all plenty of time to come and see it. I think that the flower of this one is one of the prettiest and certainly not quite as bold as the others which you'll see in due time.
Grevillea petrophiloides (pink pokers) is a shrub grevillea native to Western Australia. It is 1 to 3 metres high, with thin, needle-like leaves and dense, cylindrical flowers. Grevillea petrophiloides occurs in sandy and rocky areas. The fruits are sticky follicles, 5 to 7 centimetres long. The flower stalk two weeks before this was taken was like two six inch tightly packed - like catkins - and there was the promise of hundreds of stamens. I fully expect the Anna's Hummingbirds to start showing up (they're nesting right now, the only time of year when I don't see them on a regular basis). And the bee hive in the willow tree trunk down the street is just showing signs of life. It's spring!
I'd like to have given this the black background treatment, but it's just not possible with such tightly packed flowers. I knew that when I was choosing this particular branch, the only one without part of the tree as background. Rather, I could position myself to get one of the paths to be "behind" the flowers and naturally blurred at that time of day.
View large to see the individual stamen emerging.
Taking hundreds of my finger...and much smaller sized scraps...I free motion stitched them together for an upcoming project. 60ish completed with about 140 to go!
The historic capital of Normandy, Rouen is a famous old French city commonly known as the “city with a hundred bells chiming in the air”. With numerous cathedrals, this beautiful city exudes the charms of traditional French culture. Situated north of France on the River Seine, the capital city of Normandy is well known for its Notre Dame Cathedral and the city where Joan of Arc was trialled. Today, the city of Rouen is a vibrant city with old and new attractions to welcome its visitors.
The key attraction for Rouen, this Roman Catholic Cathedral is the important icon for Rouen with its majestic and grand architecture. The cathedral houses the tomb of Richard the Lionheart, who was the King of England. Located in the center of the city, it is one of the most visited attractions in Rouen. Magnificent light shows illuminate the cathedral at night, a definite must see for the city.
A church was already present at the location in the late 4th century, and eventually a cathedral was established in Rouen as in Poitiers. It was enlarged by St. Ouen in 650, and visited by Charlemagne in 769. All the buildings perished during a Viking raid in the 9th century. The Viking leader, Rollo, founder of the Duchy of Normandy, was baptised here in 915 and buried in 932. His grandson, Richard I, further enlarged it in 950. St. Romain's tower was built in 1035. Construction on the current building began in the 12th century in Early Gothic style for Saint Romain's tower, front side porches and part of the nave. The cathedral was burnt in 1200. Others were built in High Gothic style for the mainworks: nave, transept, choir and first floor of the lantern tower in the 13th century; side chapels, lady chapel and side doorways in the 14th century. Some windows are still decorated with stained glass of the 13th century, famous because of a special cobalt blue colour, known as "the blue from Chartres". The north transept end commenced in 1280.
The cathedral has actually been destroyed and rebuilt several times before.
The Renaissance spire was destroyed by lightning in 1822. A new one was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style, but of cast iron instead of wood. The cathedral was named the tallest building (the lantern tower with the cast iron spire of the 19th century) in the world (151 m) from 1876 to 1880. In the 20th century, during World War II, the cathedral was bombed in April 1944 by the British Royal Air Force. Seven bombs fell on the building, narrowly missing a key pillar of the lantern tower, but damaging much of the south aisle and destroying two rose windows A second bombing by the U.S. Army Air Force (before the Normandy Landings in June 1944) burned the oldest tower, called the North Tower or Saint-Romain Tower. During the fire the bells melted, leaving molten remains on the floor. In 1999, during Cyclone Lothar, a copper-clad wooden turret, which weighed 26 tons, broke and fell partly into the church and damaged the choir.
Hundreds of people turned out in the rain on ‘Good Friday’ for a ‘Trans Rights’ demonstration in Manchester’s St. Peter’s Square. It came after the UK’s Supreme Court ruled this week that the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex; which can cause problems down the line regarding ‘Single sex changing rooms / toilets’, Sport and many other issues previously dismissed. An enormous can of worms has just been opened…….!

Fact:
After over two hundred years of absence the Wild Boar has made a strong return into the Swedish fauna.
Wild boar was once hunted to extinction, but was reintroduced in captivity. After several escapes during the 1970’s – and 1980’s, the wild population has increased in various parts of southern Sweden and is now estimated to over 300,000 and is still growing.
Wild boar are very shy animals and rarely seen in daylight.
The best chances to see them is at dusk or dawn when they visit farmers fields in search of food.
Wild boars are considered to be even more dangerous than bears.
Equipped with thick, razor-sharp tusks, and a razor-sharp mind (hogs are the 4th most intelligent animal in the world) a wild boar can weigh almost 300 kg and exhibit extremely aggressive and unpredictable behaviour.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observation has captured the galaxy CGCG 396-2, an unusual multi-armed galaxy merger which lies around 520 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion.
This observation is a gem from the Galaxy Zoo project, a citizen science project in which hundreds of thousands of volunteers classified galaxies to help scientists solve a problem of astronomical proportions — how to sort through the vast amounts of data generated by robotic telescopes. Following a public vote, a selection of the most astronomically intriguing objects from the Galaxy Zoo were selected for follow-up observations with Hubble. CGCG 396-2 is one such object, and was captured in this image by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.
The Galaxy Zoo project originated when an astronomer was set an impossibly mind-numbing task; classifying more than 900 000 galaxies by eye. By making a web interface and inviting citizen scientists to contribute to the challenge, the Galaxy Zoo team was able to crowdsource the analysis, and within six months a legion of 100 000 volunteer citizen astronomers had contributed more than 40 million galaxy classifications.
Since its initial success, the Galaxy Zoo project and its successor projects have contributed to more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and led to a rich variety of intriguing astronomical discoveries above and beyond their initial goals. The success of the project also inspired more than 100 citizen science projects on the Zooniverse portal, ranging from analysing data from the ESA Rosetta spacecraft's visit to Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko to counting killer whales around remote Alaskan islands!

uneventful day so far. Nina and me went to bed at 5am, which is why I slept until 1pm. I came home in the afternoon, watched tv, sat around and watched the rain outside.
and now I’m off to go bowling with friends.
edit: I had a fun night including hilarious videos and talking to Gregor in the middle of the night while lying in the car. :)
Hundreds of these everywhere, especially on Malvaceae, but it's the first time I've found a macropterus form (fully winged)! Not that unusual, but certainly less of these than the standard brachypterous form.
A Hundred Wishes
by Loreena McKinnett
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that over this distance
I could be right there now with you
Could we be in France again
Dance beneath the olive trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
In the night I see you still
Darken hair and tender smile
Leaning out of the window sill
Clutching roses on the while
Could we be in Spain again
Dance beneath the olive trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
If I had a hundred wishes
Only one of them could come true
I would wish that over this distance
I could be right there now with you
Do you remember the Summer grand
We took to the coast of Clare
Heard the ocean warm the rocks
Listened to the music there
Could we be in Ireland again
Dance beneath the oak trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
If I had a hundred wishes
Only one of them could come true
I would wish that over this distance
I could be right there now with you

How a slapstick movie idea about beavers went from the bar to one of 2024's biggest indie hits
For around one hundred and fifty years Long Eaton, Derbyshire was a major lace manufacturing centre and Harrington Mill was the largest of the lace mills in the town. It is still standing and now used by other businesses and is seen here on the 12th February 2019.
In 1885 local building contractor Poxon and Rice won the tender for the building of the first phase of the Harrington Mills in Leopold Street, Long Eaton. It opened for business in January 1887 with the second phase of the building completed by Wheatley and Maule in 1888. The large mill was 550 feet long and four stores high, containing over one million bricks. The semi circular turrets along one side housed the staircases to the landings of the various lace manufacturers who occupied the building. At its peak Harrington Mill contained standings for 255 lace machines and was the largest of all the tenement mills in Long Eaton. The standings were rented out, allowing smaller enterprises to flourish and at one point Harrington Mill housed 26 separate lace manufacturing companies.

“Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death is not anything... death is not... It's the absence of presence, nothing more... the endless time of never coming back... a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes not sound...”
Tom Stoppard

Within the fury of swirling exhaust and sand, five Montana Rail Link EMD SD45s shove hard on a westbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe coal train climbing Bozeman Pass just west of Livingston, Montana, on July 6, 2001. These twenty-cylinder, hand-me-down machines surely earned their keep on the steep grades of MRL.
I experienced Canyon de Chelly from both its rim and its bottom lands. The experience was truly awesome.
The canyon was inhabited by pueblo-dwelling peoples hundreds of years ago and it still a summer home to many Dineh (Navajo) families today. The canyon is located in the Navajo Reservation in Chinle, Arizona. I spent three nights in Chinle.
The bottom of the canyon is illed with loose sand and in the dry season a jeep ride through it is like an ocean ride in choppy water in h high-speed motor boat. What an experience! With the help of our local guides we learned about the historic and present relationship between the canyon and the Dineh.
While I was able to take photos of the abandoned pueblos and petroglyphs, I'm focusing upon the land in this trio. I was not able to take phots of modern Dineh dwellings, land, or people because doing so went against their customs.
Note: I am posting the shot with the vehicles driving in front of the jeep I was in to give a sense of proportion
If you are interested in learning more about the canyon, you might visit this website:
Orlestone is three hundred and eighty eight hectares in size. It is predominantly mixed native broadleaves and a small percentage of conifer.
The area is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), managed principally for birds and butterflies.
There is a medium sized car park and picnic area, with a height barrier at the main entrance. . All roads are unsurfaced. As it is very low lying, it has a tendency to flood in winter.
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as the downtown was revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

1932 Ford 3 window coupe also known as the little deuce coupe.
The Beach Boys in 1963 put out an album and a single aptly titled "Little Deuce Coupe" here is just a part of the lyrics:
"Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got"
