1960 Morris Minor 1000 Pickup
We don't see Morris Minor on the streets over here. Occasionally I see one in car shows, but I've never seen a Pickup Truck.
Morris Minor have a special place for me. When I was a kid and lived in England in the late 50's, we owned a Morris Minor woody station wagon. Neat car!

Not quite time for Orchid Show 2021, and I'm not sure they will have it. Here's one from last year. Very small flowers.

Not the most original or inspired title in the world. I was going to name this photo "Childhood Memories", since I grew up in a small town in Connecticut and worked on a vegetable and tobacco farm during spring weekends and during the summer after schools (my math teacher owned the farm). There were many barns, and we hung broad-leaf tobacco in the barns to dry. I enjoyed that work at the time, but figured the "Childhood Memories" worked for me, but would not make sense to anyone else. So, "The Gray Barn" is all I could come up with! Maybe there's a seminar somewhere I could take on creatively naming photos! This scene is from Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. The park was established to forever preserve the original estate of Missouri's second governor, Frederick Bates.
Some folks like Trains, some like Buses. They'll both be fans of this one: a RAILBUS, of course!

I noticed some high clouds after dinner and took off towards the River in hopes of a colorful sunset. There are several benches that line the walking paths that run parallel to the river and this one at this moment had such a nice cloud formation that I had to stop and capture it.
Around the gates -- that's the way we roll in front of an approaching MP northbound freight at South Perry Avenue, in July 1986. This crossing no longer exists.
Kinda Guns & Roses back 'n forth between the airplanes and the daylilies. I have more interests than I've ever had time. These daylily have bloomed recently, a few for the first time for us.

Maybe all the Moths I'll post for a bit, though I pretty much am busy Mothing most year round.

O.K. maybe not the most exciting pictures, but there are a zillion different Moths. I work on IDentifying them, then post the results, mostly on BugGuide.
Half of them are pretty small - Micro Moths, less than 1/2" total, some as small as a 1/4". So getting a decent macro shot of them ain't always easy. You wouldn't notice many of these, but I think they're pretty interesting close up. They actually have some pretty neat colors, textures, patterns. Those feathery looking things are their individual scales.
They are listed in order of Hodges # for Moths. If I have them measured, I include that in the name. It will be either TL (total length) or WS (wing span) measured in millimeters (mm).
I haven't worked on them for several years but may pick back up on it. We'll see. Thanks for bearing with me on my boring Moth collection.
