A lone hiker walks on a nature preserve trail ahead of us. The trail was once a farm road, but now serves hikers and mountain bikers instead. The light from the setting sun lights up clouds in the east. A small jet contrail is visible in the upper left of the frame.
Marking the arrival of Fall and Summer’s End - when I was a young girl that meant the sweet smells of “canning” in the kitchen.
For The Award Tree Challenge 146.0. I have included a portion of the cover of a library book in my image: “The River Cottage Preserves Handbook” by Pam Corbin.
Unfortunately some of the trees in this photo have since fallen altering this little spot quite a bit and has lost it's mystique to me

Snow geese arrive in a corn field near Montour Preserve. This image was taken nearly 2 yrs ago. With geese now on the move, I'm hoping for some new photo ops this week.
Preserving vegetables and fruit in jars involves sealing a jar airtight with a rubber band and lids.
HMM !!!
Not everything at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Arizona is a bird. This is in the play area for children. Caught my eye so you get to see it too.

Preserved Leyland Olympians J778CEV and G281UMJ are seen at the Bucks Railway Centre in Quainton at their annual bus rally.
J778CEV had come from Z&S Transport, but is originally from Dublin. G281UMJ, numbered 5111, is ex Arriva and operated for many years from the now closed Garston Garage. This was its first event having been painted and vinyled in the old Arriva livery.

Number 740-452 has been rotting in the sea air outside Siracusa station for many years. She was one of 470 Class 740 locomotives built between 1911 and 1923. I believe that there are around 400 preserved steam locomotives in Italy and rather surprisingly 49 of them are of this class 740. They were clearly long lived and only withdrawn on mass in the 1970's with even a small number kept in reserve until 1990's. According to Wikipedia there are three examples passed for mainline running.
I came about finding this locomotive through an aerial view on Google Maps. Although it is on display in a car park adjacent to the railway station there is no formal access to view it (I just blagged my way into the compound). It seems as though it has been forgotten about. There are other photos of the locomotive on Flickr dating from 2013 and it looks as though it hasn't had any attention since then.
Incidentally the adjacent station was featured in the last James Bond film 'No Time to Die'.
The tree is a pitch pine (Pinus rigida).
From Wikipedia:
Franklin Parker Preserve is an 11,379 acre natural preserve located in the Pine Barrens in Chatsworth, New Jersey. The preserve links Brendan Byrne, Wharton, and Penn State Forests. Franklin Parker Preserve is owned and managed by New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
Geography is typical of the Pine Barrens with sandy roads, pitch pines, cedar swamps, blueberry fields and tributaries of the Wading River. The 53 mile Batona Trail runs through parts of the preserve and the preserve provides habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species including bobcats, bald eagles, barred owls, northern pine snakes and pine barrens tree frogs. The area also serves as a filter for rainwater that makes its way into the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer.
Franklin Parker Preserve was a former cranberry farm that was once the third largest cranberry producer in the US. The farm was owned by Garfield DeMarco, an influential Burlington County Republican Chairman. He frequently opposed many of the pineland's preservation regulations but he decided to sell the land at a significant discount versus the lands estimated value in order to preserve it. The land was purchased by New Jersey Conservation Foundation in 2003 after they were able to raise the funds for preservation. After securing additional adjacent tracts of land from private owners in 2015 and 2016 the total acreage of the preserve is now 11,379. The preserve is named after Franklin E. Parker III, the first chairman of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.
IMG_2047 - Preserved roses are 100% real flowers. ... To properly preserve these flowers, it's critical that your roses were cut when they are at their most beautiful. The flowers are then put into a mixture of glycerin and other plant elements. This rehydrates the rose from its petals to its stem and replaces the sap within it.
Today, we visited the Whitewater Preserve, a wilderness area managed by the The Wildlands Conservancy. We took a ranger-led tour looking for wildflowers, of which we found an abundance. This plant, a brittle bush, was the most common. The yellow on the hillside is all brittle bush. And the mountain in the background is San Jacinto Peak. Last year, we took the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to the top of that mountain (see the comments :-).

During our road trip last month, we made a stop in Jonesborough, the oldest town in Tennessee, and a place with lots of well-preserved history. It was the capital of the State of Franklin, which was never recognized by Congress, but existed for about five years in the 1780s before becoming part of Tennessee.
The 1778 landmark that you see here was the home of Captain Christopher Taylor, Revolutionary War officer and a State of Franklin leader. Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, boarded here in 1788 while practicing law in Jonesborough.

Last weekend we harvested the last of our lemons (see photo in the first comment) and we had to figure out stuff we could do with the bounty. This brought Jasper back to when he served in North Africa. He said the locals would preserve lemons with salt. So a couple of YouTubes later, we gave it a shot. They should be fully cured in about 4 weeks. I've never tried preserved lemons before, but they say that the rind provides a wonderful citrus umami to vinaigrettes, salads, etc.
(Jasper served in North Africa? Yes. He's a very worldly dog. He served in the Special Forces, so he can't really talk about his missions, but we're proud of his service)
(hopefully it's clear I'm kidding, he's actually lived with us here in Phoenix area since he was about 5 months old)
