Seen about a year after delivery, First Bristol 35148 SN65OMS was delivered with 9 other Streetdecks liveried for the 90 service and wearing a red front. A headway reduction saw it painted with a neutral sky blue front as seen here in Sep 2016, but it would soon gain a third colour scheme in about a year when it gained Mendip Explorer colours.
The intermediate to warm growing orchid group await the completion of the greenhouse. Shaded outside at the summer cottage. Another week or two, and the build should be complete!

Double-deckers are normally used on route 396 on weekdays, but on Saturday 3 June 2017 this Alexander Dennis E40D with Enviro 400 MMC body was on the route. The destination blind has been set for the return journey, and is quite useless to anyone looking for a bus to Little Heath - or Gants Hill or Newbury Park. TfL needs to get its act together and allow operators to use intermediate points - even better, let them use electronic displays so that each change to a route does not require new blind displays.

The de Havilland DH.88 Comet was a twin-engined British aircraft designed for the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race. Three examples took part in the race and one of them won it. The type set many aviation records during the race and afterwards, as a pioneer mail plane. The modern features and clean lines of the DH.88, especially in the striking colours of Grosvenor House (shown here), the race winner, make it a true design classic.
Three orders were indeed received, and de Havilland set to work. The airframe consisted of a wooden skeleton clad with spruce plywood, with a final fabric covering on the wings. A long streamlined nose held the main fuel tanks, with the low-set and fully glazed central two-seat cockpit faired into an unbroken line to the tail. The wings were of a thin cantilever monoplane design for high-speed flight, and as such would require stressed-skin construction to achieve sufficient strength. While other designers were turning to metal to provide this extra strength, de Havilland took the unusual approach of increasing the strength of all-wood construction. De Havilland achieved the skin profile using many thin, shaped pieces set side by side, and then overlaid in the manner of plywood. This was made possible only by the recent discovery of high-strength synthetic bonding resins and its success took many in the industry by surprise.
The engines were uprated versions of the standard Gipsy Six, being tuned for best performance with a higher compression ratio. The DH.88 could maintain altitude up to 4,000 ft (1,200 m) on one engine. The propellers were two-position variable pitch, manually set to fine before takeoff using a bicycle pump and changed automatically to coarse by a pressure sensor. The main undercarriage retracted upwards and backwards into the engine nacelles, while the tailskid did not retract. Later examples and rebuilds would feature a castoring tail wheel.
The DH.88 might have been the only wooden British high-performance monoplane, but for a shortage of metal for aircraft construction during the Second World War. Experience with the DH.88 would later be put to use in designing the DH.98 Mosquito, also a twin-engined monoplane of wooden construction. The Mosquito was not simply the 1935 proposal revisited but was a much bigger and more powerful aircraft powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines delivering over twice the power of the Gipsy Sixes.
Grosvenor House:-
The scarlet G-ACSS was the property of Mr A.O.Edwards and was named Grosvenor House after the hotel which he managed. The crew were C. W. A. Scott and Tom Campbell Black. When the Mollisons ran into problems at Karachi, Scott and Campbell Black took over the lead and were first into Allahabad. Despite a severe storm over the Bay of Bengal they reached Singapore safely, eight hours ahead of the DC-2.
They took off for Darwin, but over the Timor Sea lost power in the port engine when the oil pressure dropped to zero. Repairs at Darwin got them going again, although continuing oil warnings caused them to fly the last two legs with one engine throttled back. Their lead was unassailable despite this, and after the final mandatory stop and more engine work at Charleville they flew on to cross the finish line at Flemington Racecourse (in Melbourne) at 3.33 p.m. (local time) on 23 October. Their official time was 71 hours 18 seconds.
Also named 'Comet' was the Ford Motor Company's 'Intermediate' model under the Mercury marque. Though considered an intermediate, the Comet was in many ways, just a long wheelbase compact, based on the Falcon. The 1964 model update was enlarged from the first generation 1960-63 model, and replaced the unsuccessful Mercury Meteor (based on the Ford Fairlane) in the intermediate segment.
The performance model sub-series was known as 'Cylone', and was equipped with the V8 engine. A small number of 50 light-weight Cyclones fitted with the 427 race motor were built, and fielded in the A/FX category in Stock Car Racing.
The Comet model would remain on as Mercury's intermediate until the end of 1969. The name was reused for the Mercury twin of the compact Ford Maverick in 1971 through to 1977.
The de Havilland DH88 Comet (1934) and Mercury Comet Cyclone Hardtop Coupe (1964) featured here are modelled in Lego miniland-scale for Flickr LUGNuts 79th Build Challenge, - "LUGNuts goes Wingnuts", - featuring automotive vehicles named after, inspired by, or related to aircraft.
Andesite (slightly porphyritic andesite) from Nevada, USA.
Igneous rocks form by the cooling & crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma & lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock. It has an aphanitic texture (= finely crystalline - all or almost all crystals are <1 mm in size), the result of relatively quick cooling of rather viscous lava.
Andesite has a chemical composition between that of rhyolite's felsic chemistry and basalt's mafic chemistry. Andesite is an example of an intermediate igneous rock, which has 52 to 65% silica (= SiO2 chemistry) (it has also been defined as 55 to 65% silica). Intermediate igneous rocks are sometimes light-colored, sometimes dark-colored, and sometimes have medium colors.
Age: probably Cenozoic
Locality: unrecorded site near Belleville, southern Mineral County, western Nevada, USA
A bit of a reverse order. Scruffy is feeling a bit left out and so I decided to post some shots that I had taken a couple of weeks ago. They have not mowed the grass in the field and so it is pretty grown up with weeds around where Scruffy resides. With a layer of clouds just over the horizon I figured that it would be a quick end to the colors in the sky, but I waited around to see what would develop and must say that it was worth the wait. The colors eventually decorated the remnants of the clouds that remained in the sky. Photos were taken at El Franco Lee Park in Houston.
Decided that everyone needed a break from all of the gator shots.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Completed in April 2012, the new Irwin Intermediate School at Fort Bragg opened just in time for the 2012-2013 school year. Construction on the $14.9 million, 112,025-square-foot facility began in 2010 and was managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District. The new school replaces the original Irwin building built in 1962. The school was formally dedicated with an opening ceremony on Sept. 27, 2012. It was named in memory of Lt. Gen. Stafford Leroy Irwin, who served as the post commander from 1946 to 1948. Located off of Normandy Drive, near Butler and Murray elementary schools, the new Irwin School serves 725 students in grades two through five. Amenities include art, music, and general purpose classrooms, computer labs, a playground, gymnasium, and multipurpose rooms with a stage and kitchen. Within the past few years, the Savannah District has completed more than $100 million in family support projects at Fort Bragg, including schools and child development centers. Between 2013 and 2020, another $90 million is budgeted for continued school development on Fort Bragg. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard, Sept. 12, 2012.

There were also a lot of Dimorphic Egrets nesting in the area; this is a white morph individual, which was the most frequent. There were also some dark and intermediate ones. This species is sometimes lumped with the Little Egret.

Materials: Recycled CDs, multicolored yarn, homemade needles (cut from 1 qt. plastic lids with hole punched) and permanent markers. Weaving: warp and weft, tabby stitch (under one, over one).
About: Our school is a Steven Covey, Leader in Me school. One of the 7 principles they practice is "Begin with the End in Mind". I asked my students to reflect on what would make this a better world and asked them to write a sentence to express their idea. They each created a beautiful small round weaving on a recycled CD and wrote that dream/goal on the outer edge. Many dreamed of ending bullying, world hunger, animal abuse and cures for cancer. I was touched by a couple who wanted teen suicide to end. One little boy just wished that everyone would have a loving mother! I told the children they were sending their dreams out for the world to see and planting that seed as a start of making that dream come true.
Did you enjoy working on this project? Our students loved the idea of being involved in a worldwide art project! They enjoyed the weaving and relaxing time chatting and working with a large variety of textures and colors of yarn. The weavings were small enough for everyone to have success and challenging enough to keep the interest of both boys and girls, from all ability levels.
