M&EE Stores Unit (931) 018 waiting for the road to leave London Bridge terminus on its commissioning run on 30th January 1985. It was previously in passenger service designated as 2-EPB (Class 416) unit No.5788/6294 and had originally been supplied new to the Tyneside electrified system. It survived for just 5 years as a departmental unit, being withdrawn and scrapped in 1993. The unit was turned in this drab khaki/muddy brown livery!

As I keep noting, the only thing that is familiar this year is the rhythm of nature which seems unaffected.
Crocus have come and gone, daffodils followed the crocus and are still everywhere. The daffodils are now overlapped by tulips.
So much of the current news is disturbing - from health fears to toxic politics - but we still have nature's dependable cycle to provide beauty and optimism. If only we could do more to protect this fragile resource for the future.
"Have a blessed day"
By the time late October rolls around, the tree canopy thins enough for sunbeams to penetrate, as if windows open to let in the light.
A young black man was walking toward us this morning, and I asked him to turn toward the beautiful light......it made the day very very special, more blessed when shared.
Have a blessed day!
PS.
Thinking about the street appearing as a stream, the pavement edge (no curb) is blurred by fallen oak leaves and pine needles. It assumes the look of a stream meandering along with houses on either bank. Actually the elevation here is a bit less than 13 feet above sea level. Think of Dog River, about 500 yards off to the left and beyond the 6 houses in the next block, and their elevation is 3 feet above sea level. My house is 1500 yards or so off to the right and my elevation of 22 feet above sea level is among the HIGHEST in this area of Mobile south of Interstate-10.
Also the reason the waterway is DOG RIVER, or RIVIERE DU CHIEN, was the French explorers who first came to the territory in 1711, must have arrived around May when alligator breeding season begins, and the males rumble and bark, water bouncing off their backs, calling to the females who cannot resist, and due to the noise of barking, the river became known as Riviere du Chien or Dog River. Very few alligators reside in the river today.
One more creation for the non-combat frame challenge.
On large yet less prosperous planets with several, distant farming or mining communities it isn't unusual for travelling circuses to appear. Whole caravans of mismatched, scratch-built, brightly colored frames like this vendor buggy roam from village to village, and they are always welcomed with cheers and warm meals. The different kinds of games, shows, and other novelties attract customers for a time, and then the caravan moves on.
...Not much of a game piece, unless you hide an artillery cannon inside - but it could be a really nice station.

I have recently started using an external 500GB Lexar SSD as my primary photo drive. It is very light, compact and has an indication of space used on the front as you can see (1/5 used now). The LaCie is primary backup drive 1TB and I am probably replacing this with another Lexar SSD like the one shown as it is so light. Secondary backup is to a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Quad 12TB mirrored drive (RAID 1) server for the time being.
