I was concentrating so hard on the bee that I didn't really look at the flowers when I took this shot at Borde Hill recently. I presumed it was lavender, but now I'm not sure. Is it catmint/catnip? I have no doubt there are many gardeners out there who will be horrified at my lack of knowledge of flowers, but I'm hoping they'll put me right. :))

This image used two different exposures. (one at higher ISO for the stars and one at lower ISO for the foreground and school house).
This is a shot i've been trying to get for a few days however i'm still not sure i'm there yet.
It's all too samey...
It is however my birthday on Sunday. I must be getting boring in my old age.

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.
An old evergreen tree living along a river bank shows its wide roots. Seems a good way to ensure survival given the shallow soil and variability of the river height and strength.

Collecting slides over the last 2.5 years or so has been an unexpectedly rewarding project. It has provided me with so much extra knowledge for my interest in local operations and for my model railroading, it has allowed me to revisit old memories, and it's just been really great.
I recently had another chance to revisit an event I never forgot about;
On Saturday August 10th 2002, I was in Brunswick with my grandma and grandpa watching trains that evening. We got a pizza and tailgated in the parking lot. I had just turned 14 and Brunswick was like a railfan mecca to me.
Towards the end of the evening, maybe around 930pm, a set of three engines consisting of a CSX C30-7, an exCR C36-7, and exCR SD60I #8750 backed out from the yard, across Maple Ave, and tied onto a set of orange ballast cars that had been sitting under the over pass. I think the cars had been sitting on either track 34 or the runaround. Shortly after, the CPL dwarf showed a medium clear from 4-runner to number two, and the ballast train pulled out of Brunswick. I remember seeing the glow inside the cab of 8750 from the computer screens. I want to say they called themselves W055 on the radio.
My grandmother (of all people) said "I bet we can beat them to Washington Grove" (near there house, where the train would pass eventually). Both myself and my grandpa told her there is no way we would beat the train; the trackage had a much shorter distance to cover to get to Washington Grove than we did. We'd be taking 340 out of Brunswick all the way to Frederick to meet I-270 south. Then we'd have to exit, and take some local streets to finally be trackside.
My grandmother, her lead foot, and us in tow flew down the highway in their 2000 Town and Country van. I had my scanner still on, but we were too far from the tracks to hear the train calling signals.
We crossed the grade crossing at Washington Grove, and sure enough there was a clear on #2 track at the Derwood Dip signal. By the time we turned into the gravel lot at the MARC station, the gates were going down behind us, and the bright lights of the eastbound were ripping into view in front of us. I remember throwing open my door as the train screamed by at track speed or close to it.
My grandmother was delighted in asserting her victory over beating the train from Brunswick to Washington Grove that night. We all had a good time, and she still talks about it to this day.
Fast forward almost 20 years to the day later, and I find a slide of that exact same train from the next day, Sunday 8-11-02. The train is seen tied down at Doswell Va on #4 track in the yard. The train was likely empty or mostly empty, and is staging at Doswell until a C&O crew would take it over the Piedmont Sub to Verdon for another load of ballast. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this slide while scrolling on ebay. Once again as life came full circle for me, I saw this slide while sitting on my own freight train stopped at the signal in Bayview. Dreams do come true I guess.
Objectively, the slide is nothing special; the train is stopped, headlights off....far track side, bottom of the wheels cut off....a little wonky on the composition...but to me, it's now one of my favorite slides.

In anticipation of the soon to be released(wide) "The Runaways" film. I recently picked up "Joan Jett and The Blackhearts" Greatest Hits set... I always knew Jett and Lita Ford were former members of The Runaways. But that was pretty much the extent of my knowledge. I had heard "of them", but not their music.
There are about 8 Runaway songs included in this G.Hits package... and this song. Well, "Drives me wild". "I Hate Myself For Loving You" has always been my fave Jett song. But this one might just give it a run for it's money... to think that this is the first song she ever wrote is incredible. She had to of been age 15/16 at the time.
I have a friend at work who grew up listening to The Runaways. She & her sister were greatly influenced by them... not many girl rockers in those days(70's). Certainly no all-girl groups. "Heart" would be the closest I could think of.
While surfing the subject. I've noticed many die-hards doing a bit of poo-pooing in regards to the younger set getting to know "their" group. "Posers", if you will... I say embrace them ladies. Influencing another generation of teens just keeps the music alive.

Knowledge, like water, is vital to life. In this work, a continuous stream of water connects the two figures. The water is symbolic of the passing of knowledge from generation to generation.This embodies the Rotarians' hope that the values cultivated by the 4-Way test will continue to be a guiding principle in human relations in our future generations.
4-Way Test
of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to All CONCERNED?
3. Will it Build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?
“My Lord! Increase me in Knowledge”
