Hot day with nothing better to do. Waiting for Christmas Carols in the park to begin two girls play games together to pass the time.

ZK349 Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 (c/n BS110), RAF Fairford 18th July 2015.
This 29(R) Squadron Typhoon wears the N°249 Squadron markings of the Hawker Hurricane flown by Wg Cmdr Eric James Brindley Nicolson VC DFC,
It was RAF Fighter Command’s only Victoria Cross recipient, during summer 1940. During combat over southern England on 16 August 1940, the then-Flt Lt Nicolson was engaged by a Messerschmitt Bf-110 which set his Hurricane ablaze. Despite severe wounds & burns received during this initial attack, Flt Lt Nicolson rallied to critically damage a second Bf-110 before bailing from his burning Hurricane.
To give you a better sense of scale, the pale blue thing next to him is a clothes peg.
Yeah, he's massive!!
Painted turtles have a smooth shell with red or yellow markings on a black or greenish brown background. During the day they can be sometimes found basking in the sun in large groups, sometimes as many as 50 on one log, stacked on top of each other. At night they will rest in the bottom of a shallow body of water, or a partially submerged object.
Painted turtles feed mainly on plants and some small animals such as fish or small crustaceans. They have no teeth, with a jaw made for gripping food and thus must eat in the water. They also prefer to breed in the bottom of water bodies.
If they see something that threatens them, they hide in their shells for protection or can dive quickly under water.
Friends is working to restore turtle nesting habitat along the Chicago River. Volunteer monitoring opportunities may be available; check out chicagoriver.org for more information.
Some road markings are still in place on Crookston Road, although the bridge is long closed to motor vehicles.
The road used to connect the village of Inveresk with Crookston Farmhouse and the Fa'side Estate beyond, and crossed Salters Road (the A6094, from Whitecraig to Wallyford) but it was cut in half when the A1, the Great North Road, was rebuilt as a dual carriageway to the south and a grade separated junction built nearby. Salters Road was also cut in half but the section next to the old school (now Auburn Cottage) at the former crossroads survived.

Marking the outbreak of the First World War, and commemorating the British and Colonial servicemen killed during its course.
The installation consisted of one ceramic poppy for each of the 888,246 serviceman. It was installed at the Tower of London with poppies added each day from 17 July, concluding 11 November.
The project was conceived by artist was Paul Cummins, with setting by Tom Piper, and was designed to appear as a sea of blood spilling out.
The title of the piece comes from a poem in the unsigned will of an unknown soldier who died in the war: "The blood swept lands and seas of red, / Where angels dare to tread"
An uncommon species of House Gecko - Gekko monarchus (Spotted House Gecko)
This gecko can be identified by the pairs of black spots along its ventral surface, the black 'W' marking at the back of the neck, and with the relatively long tail that ended with black and white banded.
Markers were set up along the golf course at the JW Marriott Hill Country Spa and Resort so golfers could find their way....or lost walkers such as myself! ;-)
March MSH Entry - "Marker"
This moth came into our kitchen last night and had a sleepover! I took this pic this morning and identified it with the help of Moths UK ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=100
It's a fairly big moth, not massive but 5cm across wingspan. I love its markings which remind me of silver birch trees' bark! This photo shows the "swallow tails" in better detail.

Cart Marking Ceremony.
The first City spectacular since 2019 celebrates 500 years of heritage and was open to the public. Cart Marking is a free charity event for the whole family and transport enthusiasts alike. At Guildhall Yard in the heart of the City of London, over forty vintage and futuristic vehicles will mark London’s world of wheels, as the Sheriffs and ritually robed Carmen brand each ‘carr’ with a red-hot iron – the origin of vehicle licensing. You can witness this historic ceremony, which dates back some 500 years and celebrates transport through the ages. With a nostalgic look into the past and a unique glance at the future, it showcases a truly eclectic collection of transport.
Plant industry employees, retirees, volunteers and park rangers recently spent a few days in the Great Smoky Mountains to mark ginseng roots with a special dye to make it easier to prosecute ginseng poachers. It is now a felony to illegally harvest ginseng roots.
