I swear that even though this fellow was hitched to the corral, it seemed that he was drawing a line that I ought not cross... or he was bored to death for any activity. Imagine a pygmy donkey and pygmy doo behind! I wonder if there is pygmy methane. I just had to comment on the news article about Longmont's fracking ban. It seems to me we should not make a judgement about it just because it didn't work out for those citizens fracking for methane on planet Venus.
Not knowing that there was to be an "Event" out at the McIntosh/Lohr Agrigultural Museum, I headed out Sunday to grab a couple of fill-in photos for a set. Among the events was a sheep herding demonstration using an Australian sheep dog, another was hayseed rides for the folks. A couple of dandy Belgians hauled the hitch up. Over at the corrals were several animals for studying. The museum is probably under-utilized though. It would be great if the kids could see some of the horse drawn farming implements in use. This is also a great place for a weekend stroll and a sandwich with the kids. We took advantage of this day near McIntosh Lake Park at the ag museum from where we later accessed the lake loop. The entire path loops around the lake and is 3.5 miles. It looks like the day might be cut short. Lake Shore Drive is in town while the far west side is just out of town. The north lake pavilion area on Mariner Drive was packed with picnic goers and partiers on the week end. There was still plenty of space for the town folk to settle in for a spell. Boy, Longmonters sure use their parks!
I'm all about skies but this is an undefined sky. Lately, we have been sending more powerful storms to Nebraska and Kansas in the hopes that they might someday be able to wrap their minds around global warming. We just experienced the warmest May on record. Even orange man Boner is claiming that he is not a scientist. I believe what he says; he doesn't even understand the effects of loads of alcohol on the human body! Recently we have been graced with typical June skies, so I am trying to take advantage of them as I can. Today, the lighting is already getting soft. Today, served up more clouding and a promise of more 80s. We might be creeping up on 90s but they should be in August. More runoff could be a disaster and everyone has an eye on the streams. See if you can detect the climate changes around your locale. I am choosing to edit and I am spending extra time on the best of the captures considering today's skies. I was just in time to shoot on that day. The windmill might have some work to do later on. I scored some tripod shots out here some time ago but I am here for a walk with my camera with the monopod.
The farm/museum is part way between Largemont and Hygiene, Colorado on state highway #66. I created a Photo Set for the McIntosh/Lohr Agricultural Museum.

Another image from a recently digitized book found in our archives. The book is titled “Port of Manchester” and subtitled “Illustrated History of the Manchester Ship Canal 1708-1901."
The handsome volume contains around 50 full-page images and illustrations. The images include photographs of the canal under construction and in use, various locks and the dock areas and associated warehouses.
The illustrations are advertisements for many of the companies used the canal to operate their businesses. The companies include some of the giants of the cotton industry, heavy engineering and printing.
This plate has a maritime theme.
The Lamport & Holt Line was formed in 1845 by William James Lamport and George Holt. They operated sailing ships and carried cotton and marble from ports around the Mediterranean.
By the late 1850s the company had begun moving to steam ships. By the turn of the century they were much in demand as carriers of frozen meat and coffee from South America. The company also operated passenger ships.
Lamport & Holt ships played a major role in supplying the troops during the Great War.
Despite being bought out by the Royal Mail in 1911 and the Blue Star Line in 1944, the Lamport & Holt name continued to be used until 1974.

Back in the day, when I was in ninth grade, I remember making an A-line skirt in Home Ec class. My mother made me many and I work button up blouses tucked into the skirts. I had a tiny piece of vintage fabric that inspired me to make one of those outfits. The skirt had no waist band and was supposed to sit between your waist and hips or mine did. I used Andrea's pattern to make the skirt.
“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.” (William Shakespeare)
Float planes lined up on their moorings on the west side of Schwatka Lake in Southern Yukon. I enjoy clibing the hills around this lake for a quick workout and a view. The past week, I've been hiking the lake quite often, and I have ben astonished at just how many float planes are coming and going. It's a busy place!

Unique Wickham Railbus no. 999507 (Laboratory 20) in British Rail Research Department livery on the Lavender line.
The “Elliott Track Recording Coach” was commonly referred to as the 'Wickham Railbus' and was built in 1958 by D. Wickham of Ware, Hertfordshire.
It was a self-propelled four-wheel railbus No: DB999507 with one driven axle and had a Meadows 97HP horizontal underfloor engine. It was used as a track recording car by the Chief Civil Engineer's Department from around 1958, before the BR Research Division was formed and was fitted with an early computer system supplied by Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd (Elliott Automation).
The Wickham was sold to the East Lancashire Railway in 1997 and later moved to the Middleton Railway on 11th June 2003. It is currently based at the Lavender Line in Isfield, East Sussex and is now privately owned.

The Lavender Line formed part of the Lewes to Uckfield Railway when it was opened on 18 October 1858. Within 12 months of its opening, the branch had been integrated into the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) to safeguard the company’s interests east of its London to Brighton main line. Ten years from its opening, Isfield saw through workings from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, via a new Uckfield–Groombridge link. The Bluebell Railway originally branched off the Lavender Line at Culver Junction, near Culver Farm between Lewes and Barcombe Mills. This junction closed in 1958 with the closure of the East Grinstead to Lewes line.
Following its closure in 1969 the track was removed in 1970 and the station at Isfield was neglected and became overgrown. After fourteen years of disuse, it was auctioned in June 1983 by British Rail and sold for £60,500 to Dave and Gwen Milham who restored the station and signal box and laid the first sections of track. Ownership of the station passed from the Milham family in 1991 and it is run by the Lavender Line Preservation Society.
The line was named 'The Lavender Line' with a historical connection in mind: A.E. Lavender and Sons were the local coal merchants who had operated from the station yard
