Dunvegan, Isle of Skye
We passed this on the way to Dunvegan castle on the minor road A850. What's a lone bus shelter doing in the middle of nowhere. It's a major hike to the nearest isolated house let alone nearest village. In fact I've seen more life in Chernobyl than many parts of Skye we drove through. It was the lone chair that made me stop to take a picture... how considerate I thought, I can only assume the bus service isn't that frequent - maybe every other Tuesday.
Having said that I was nearly run over by... 1 local bus, 1 mini-tour coach, 2 cars and a delivery van all within the space of a couple of minutes. Maybe I'd stopped at that 'other' Tuesday!
But to be fair, it might look like a right sh^thole but round my way a bus shelter doesn't stay in one piece for very long so one should be grateful for small mercies. With Skye's mini monsoon weather this must be a godsend, providing you don't mind sharing with the odd sheep!

You come to the Lake District for atmospheric landscapes, dramatic skies, sunsets and sunrises... what do I get... we are on our fifth day of wall to wall sunshine... not a cloud in the sky... the air has been so clear that there has been zero morning or evening colour... the sun so bright distant landscapes have faded into a haze.... only a photographer would complain.... aaaaagh.

How I wish I could've gotten a clearer shot of this guy, as I had to enlist the help of Bugguide for an ID...it's certainly an odd looking character!
man child, grown.

Grizzlies comparing their jaws is a sign of assertiveness. These cubs will start doing this, then one will swat the other with an oversize paw and then it blows up into a full blown wrestling match.
It seems that animals know just how far they can go before one or the other gets hurt. I've seen them take a scratch on the nose or lose a clump of hair but usually they roll around, try out a variety of wrestling holds and then fifteen minutes later they go back to eating or just sit down exhausted near their mother.

Taken on a very pleasant May Day in downtown Pittsburgh from the 6th Street bridge, looking up the Allegheny river (E - NE direction). The Allegheny river meets the Monongahela river (at my back when I took this) and they form the Ohio river, which will eventually become the Mississippi river and will end up in the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans (many miles downriver).
In the foreground is the 7th Street bridge, behind it is the 9th Street bridge and behind that the rail bridge (black). The white building at right is the David L. Lawrence convention center.
As for the answer to the question: "How Many Bridges?" the answer is "Pittsburgh has 446 bridges" !
To live in a house like that...It used to be a railway station...If you listen very carefully, you can still hear the whisper of the travellers...and the whistle of the leaving train...
Hazie's Eyemech has been acting up ever since my Trip to Europe so I decided to open her tonight, Turns out its something that only Different lids can fix >__< And I love her Lids so Aww well.
Meanwhile Cute Adorable Little Sutton had a bit of a tough Journey and her hair was a bit loose lol so I fixed that and her sticky eyes which also I think were due to rough Travels. Tomorrow they will be Looking all Good <3
How now brown cow" is a phrase used in elocution teaching to demonstrate rounded vowel sounds. Each "ow" sound in the phrase represents the diphthong. Although spelled "ow" in these four words, this same diphthong is also spelled "ou". Some examples of these homophonic are the English words "house", "blouse", "noun", and "cloud". The use of the phrase "how now brown cow" in teaching elocution can be traced back to at least 1926.
The phrase how now itself is an archaic greeting or interrogative expression
Princess Sara's Quest had to start with a reason somewhere and when I started having fun with the characters and following them around...
I had no idea where it would lead.
I've discovered other characters, and somehow Dragons got involved as well as monsters.
Then this seemed to occur ...
very much out of order of the rest of the story.
But this makes perfect sense in retrospect.
This would be the Dragon's Nest of the Legendary Egg that would save all Dragons.
Hmmmm.
And there it is....
I ventured to a portrait photo shoot class, after being really self-quarantining for 4+ months. A needed boost of creativity.
Having made such a big effort to get up there it would have been rude to rush off without taking a few more photos, it's a fantastic vantage point.
This lovely cardinal is missing her tail feathers as many of the other birds I see are. It is the molting process and she will get them back soon. They fly fine though a little differently with no tail feathers.
