These two cuties are now sisters. The little black lamb, Ebony, was rejected by her mother and the shepherd made the decision to pair her with the white lamb’s mother, who had just produced Ivory. This is not unusual. It does, however, take some time for the mother to accept the new lamb as her own. Consequently, the three of them have been isolated, in close quarters, in one of my byres (barns) for about a week, in order to pair successfully.
Here, they have just been allowed into the nursery field, behind my house, for a few days. All is going well, and Ebony is now established as part of the new little family, “in perfect harmony”. Happy days!

With nothing to do I took photo of this nut carving I did in 1996, I would carry this in my pocket and when I felt like it I did some whittling, all done with small tools and some dental burrs, yes I use a dental drill with that horrible sound we all know:-)

I am not great on Fungi so this may be wrongly named but I am hoping my great Flickr friend Joan will correct me. Thanks in advance Joan.
I'm sure there's some kind of symbolism there, but eh. At last light, BNSF 3167 rests in Western Avenue Yard along the "Racetrack", backdropped by the modern towers of Chicago's South Loop.
My theme for today is the Ivory Curl tree (Buckinghamia celsissima). Originally a tree native to the rain forests of eastern Australia, these fabulous trees have found a home in the gardens and streets of south-east Australia. I took this shot of these trees today in a neighbour's front garden.

The Ivory Towers aren't just at Harvard, Yale, etc., Bryce Canyon has them, too! Here's a good look at the blondish hoodoos brightening up photos of the canyon there, from May, 2025.
Here, a close up shot of two Ivory Curl flower spikes. It's possible to make a drink from these nectar-rich flowers, I've not tried it, but if it tastes as good as the flowers smell, it would be delicious.
