Among the historic buildings stands Palazzo De Franchi, in Renaissance style, characterized by a loggia with four round arches and an imposing portal in blocks of white stone. Noteworthy is also the sixteenth-century Palazzo Giannantonio, today the seat of the municipality. Completed in 1695, it stands out for its interesting monumental portal with inlaid wrought iron gate and internal courtyard.
In the fraction of Marconia stands the castle of San Basilio, built as a fortified farm around the seventh century by the monastic community of the Basilians and then later became a Norman fief.
Among the numerous towers scattered throughout the territory of Pisticci does not go unnoticed the "Torre Bruni", considered very ancient, although the date of construction is unknown. According to a legend, Bruto would have found refuge here after the conspiracy against Caesar.

I got pretty close before he moved!
The juvenile Cooper's Hawk has returned once again, proudly perching in the neighboring tree. He's quite a sight to see first thing in the morning !

Sometimes gritty, always hilly, Steel City’s charms are often hidden below the surface. While the revitalization of downtown Pittsburgh has earned lots of attention, lately much of the action is found farther out, in once-overlooked neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and East Liberty. Here, old-school stalwarts mingle with artsy young people, helping to create a city that serves as a canvas for the kind of urban dreams that more crowded and expensive cities can’t foster. It’s a place where abandoned buildings reveal art museums in the making, where decaying industrial sites prove ripe for urban exploration, where residential streets hide kitchens turning out remarkably fresh, local food. Best of all, if you aren’t afraid of a few slopes, it can be easily explored by bike or even on foot.
Here is a photo of an oak tree that I took on a photo club outing. Photo was taken south of Brenham Texas. Photos were taken using a Canon EOS 80D camera with a EF-S 18-135 mm lens, with additional editing in post-processing. Enjoy!

After my morning walk, I usually drive to McDonalds for a cup of coffee. The local one has not allowed indoor service for well over a year now, so I sit in the parking lot and drink. Today while sitting in my car, three pickups and a Honda CRV pull in and converge. Each vehicle spills out three or four guys, and they all appeared a little rough on the edges to me. I honestly thought "white nationalist" just looking at them. One relieved himself right there in the parking lot. Well, to my amazement I realized they were mostly wearing tee shirts with "Proud Boys" emblazoned on them. I tried to sneak a pic of the whole bunch of them, but could not do it without being conspicuous, and that didn't seem like a good idea. So, this is the best I could do. As I was leaving they were joined by several more guys on motorcycles. Wonder where they were headed, this group of disgusting human flesh.
This cute squirrel was posing for me for 15 minutes. She seemed very proud - she might be expecting or just really well fed :-)
There was a person buried deep beneath a Denny plot, and I have always wondered if he was a Denny. He was buried facing the wrong way, and when they buried Uncle George, they discovered the old corpse who was in pretty good condition in an iron casket.
A proud Mew Gull (larus canus) standing on the sand at White Rock while the tide is out. I believe this to be an adult Nonbreeding bird.

They grow up so fast...
I tried to tell myself I didn't care, but I was insanely hyped when the Caudron won Best Aircraft. I was up against some reeeeally stiff competition, including Ralph, who is simultaneously the nicest guy and most formidable aircraft builder in the world. Whether this was deserved or not, I'm extremely proud and happy to have won.
It's hard to see in this picture, but I've done rigging on the wings and altered the landing gear a bit.
Brickfair was a blast, as usual. It was great to see everyone again and just dick around the convention center.
My bad if I forgot you, there were a lot of folks here to see this time around.

When in bloom, Primula vialii is easy to distinguish from other primroses.
Its stout stalk is crowded with hundreds of tiny flowers of red calyces and blue-violet corollas.
The flowers are tightly packed on the stem.
The blossom has a bottle brush appearance.
This primrose has distinctive flowers, unlike any other in the genus.
It's rare to find this plant in its native haunts, as it comes close, if not already, to being an endangered species. Pere Delavay originally discovered the species.

So very inviting and to me... irresistible, the shapes and colours so glorious!!
