This photo was taken on the same day as a studio portrait of John Redmond, M.P. so it is safe to assume that this is Redmond's wife Ada (with the bouquet), née Beesley from Warwickshire. Redmond married her in 1899. His first wife, Irish-Australian Johanna Dalton had died in 1889.
Think you'll all agree that this is one of the finest arrays of early 20th century ladies' millinery in our collections...

Today I saw my first butterfly of the year. A stunning Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) feeding on nectar from the sweetly scented Winter Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima).
Very fragrant though inconspicuous, even nondescript in appearance. Hummingbirds love it.
Rest of the January garden journal shots. Quite a change
from the first half of the month.
Winter doldrums, cabin fever, seasonal mood disorder, call it what you may, my husband had the blues today. He's not prone to gloom. I should know, I've lived with him for 35 years. It's January in the northern plains, for Pete's sake. It takes forever to get all the necessary layers on to walk out the door--hat, gloves, jacket, scarf, boots, snow cleats. The snow is piled up chunky and dirty, not soft and fluffy and pretty anymore. The sidewalks are icy and slushy. Daylight is way to short. And there's still months to go of this. So here he is in our upstairs, riding out his January blues, with the view across the street of trees, snow, and a partially shoveled sidewalk. Cedar Falls, Iowa. January 30, 2012
Two Ski Patrol figures made from a combination of 40th Anniversary and Timeless Lost Squadron sets. The figure in the background is actually wearing a vintage snow uniform and helmet.
A January tribute to GI Joe!
Another large family, this time it's the O'Grady's of The Mall, Waterford. As you can see, this glass negative has been broken and cracked at some stage in its history, but it doesn't take away from a lovely family portrait.

Wahey, there's an actual human being in my shot! I love these "old" bus stops, they've disappeared for the most part, having been replaced with fancier green and glass versions. I first took a shot of the empty bus stop but it looked kind of, well, empty, so I enlisted the help of the girlfriend and gave her the instructions to "sit there as if you're waiting for the bus." Which we actually were doing, but just the one going in the opposite direction.
I must say I'm very grateful for owning a nifty-fifty, it makes it so much easier to lug around my camera on outings. Today we first walked to my parent's house, then took a bus to the mall and then walked home from there and all the while my camera was slung across my shoulders.

It dawned on me that this grass has already lost it's nutrients and how grand it would be is we could at least have cattle graze these grasses when green. They would probably need rescuing from the gravel pits regularly. It is sad how badly we treat the topsoil America originally used for food production. Topsoil is nothing more than "overburden" when you want to rip the gravel and sand, leaving the ruined earth for the taxpayers. OPM! I was out near the walkable end of the river road (about a mile) that strikes northwest from the back of Broley but this time in January. From my autumn and winter shots, This is now pretty darn bleak and without a sky so I opted for the strong details. I walked the road but this time one of the bald eagle young decided to use the old tree for rodent spotting; the BoCo man said the rodents are collected downstream and are really stinking. I didn't ask for the location. He was doing the spotting by trying to spot ground hogs and mice. He is going to find it's a rough job. Ronnie thinks the flood flushed all the burrowing critters. Afterward, I decided to walk over to Ramey as long as the fence was cleared out by the floods. Ramey's a real poster boy for the flood damage and a wealth of photo ops. That makes two treks to Broley and Ramey in two days.
Here is yet another autumn trees picture; I found that the baldies like them too. This autumn painted the lane with it's summer leaves but now the trees are bare. When I first saw this, I didn't think I could make anything of the sky but I guess a blank one will have to do for today. The skies have been a really mixed bag lately.
The floods came from the river up ahead and flowed across Broley and Ramey, out the lane to the farm and across the gravel ponds in the back and to the south of where I am standing here. And they thought that the only trouble the gravel pits could bring was West Nile. I had no choice but to walk the river road on the north of the ponds. Boy, the river bottom collected a load of propane and empty gasoline tanks. Anything that floats. I suppose that if they want to clean up, they could cut open a new gravel pit to fill these? Well, logoc aside anyway.
So it's the middle of January, and roses are still blooming along the patio fence. Such is winter in Southeast Texas. They may make it all the way to spring without a break. Then again, they may just as easily get hit with a week of below freezing weather - followed by a week of t-shirt and shorts weather.. And back again.
The weather here ebbs and flows with the bends and twists of the jet stream that crawls back and forth across the continent like an anaconda curling and uncurling from west to east.
Our weather is unpredictable, but at least we know that no matter how good or bad the weather may be, it won't last. So we learn to roll with the punches, and take advantage of the good weather when we have it, because it won't last.
Just like roses in January..

ONE OF THE LIONS
Three lions and nine hearts is an installation in front of the queens castle "Marselisborg Slot" in Aarhus. The installation, made by Claus Ørntoft, is a gift from Aarhus to the queen on her seventieth birthday in 2010.
Tre Løver og Ni Hjerter står foran Marselisborg Slot. Installationen er udført i granit af Claus Ørntoft. Den er en fødselsdagsgave fra Aarhus Kommune til dronningen i anledning af hendes 70 års fødselsdag i 2010.
Since January 1st 2010, I have been taking and uploading one square picture each day to:
Each month I make a 5x5 mosaic, so a few images will be dropped to leave a nice neat 25.

we made some lemon cake. this is the second recipe from the rose bakery cookbook that we tried (the first was their carrot cake) and they are both absolutely delicious. we just found they needed a little longer in the oven than the recipe indicated.
again, shot after daylight had gone, thus the yellow cast. i just don't like flash.
Mmmmm. Cheese. We bought this cheese to take to Mull for Christmas then forgot to take it with us. However, Christmas Day's loss is New Years Day's gain. Washing it down with a lovely port which I bought [jonthegeologist] for his birthday in November. The 'No Booze in January' resolution isn't going all that well.
Hope you're not all sick of these "cast in costume" photos, but finally here's one we know something about! Behold the Wallace Opera Company...
Operatic composer William Vincent Wallace was born in Waterford in 1812. I think that the Wallace Opera Company may have been performing Maritana, Wallace's most famous work, as we plausibly have a King of Spain; various noblemen; and gypsies. Not in themselves unusual as characters in an opera, but with the Wallace link...
Thanks to desmondg47, we now know that this photo was taken at the rear of City Hall/Theatre Royal on The Mall, Waterford.

I have always wanted to make a calendar using my photos and here is my first month, first attempt.
The larger version to download, print on letter size, adjust your printing settings? that is how I printed it
In my family January is a big month for birthdays! My brother-in-law (right) is on the 17th, my wife is the 21st, my father-in-law is the 23rd and mine is the 30th. Last night while at my parents house for dinner we killed 3 birds with one stone. If my father-in-law did not live 2,500 miles away we could have killed that fourth bird!
Realizing I'm a year and a half behind on posting pics, I'm going to try posting by month, and play a bit of catch up. Presenting January of '17 (Pardon all the blurry pics :P).
While Flickr will always have the most images of each outfit, follow me on Instagram (/secretjess42) to see the latest pics!
