On my way to buy my Christmas trees, I stopped at The Pixies (where my track crosses the burn/stream) to fill the feeders for the wee birdies. This guy appeared looking surprised but curious…coupled with a little bit ready for fight or flight, and big bit gorgeous!
I’d like to think this is Philip - the pheasant who has been visiting for a couple of years, now. Possibly. I hope so! He waited for a few minutes then toddled off, in a fit of pique as I drove past. I know he is helping himself to peanuts and sunflower hearts. You’re very welcome, Philip.

A twofer at the Split Rock Lighthouse yielded the Philip R Clarke and American Integrity gliding through the icy cold waters of Lake Superior, which was evidently warmer than the surrounding air tempature.
Well worth the frozen toes and feet!
A pair of G&W orange painted SD40-2’s stick out in the grasslands of western South Dakota as they lead the RCP&E’s eastbound road train outside of Philip shortly before sunset. This is formerly the C&NW's mainline to Rapid City and was nearly abandoned before being purchased by the DM&E in 1986.
The only time I saw the Inland Steel steamer Philip D. Block was in the twilight of her career here at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan up bound for another load of iron ore June 27, 1980.

Here's a bit of an oldie from Philip Island which I shot about a couple of years ago.
Only just got around to processing it though for one reason or another. I'm sure you know how it goes :)

This Philips 11RL463 portable radio was manufactured by the French Philips factory in Bobigny in 1966. It has three wavebands, MW, FM and LW, which was particularly important in France because the popular stations France Inter, Europe 1, RMC and RTL could be heard well on long wave in large parts of the country and beyond. So this receiver was ideally suited for this, it has a large loudspeaker that sounds good despite its plastic housing, was state-of-the-art with 9 transistors; and its 4 large "D" type batteries were absolutely long-lasting. Today, it can still keep up well on FM, while the era of transmitters on medium wave and long wave is coming to an end, at least in central Europe. It still works very well and it's such fun to use it!
Long sight in age
They say eyes clear with age,
As dew clarifies air
To sharpen evenings,
As if time put an edge
Round the last shape of things
To show them there;
The many-levelled trees,
The long soft tides of grass
Wrinkling away the gold
Wind-ridden waves- all these,
They say, come back to focus
As we grow old.
Philip Larkin
Philip Larkin dedicated his 1955 Collection "The Less Deceived" to Monica Jones, one of his long suffering women consorts. Monica Jones purchased the property as a holiday home in late 1961 with part of the proceeds from her parents estate. Larkin first visited in April 1962 following which he wrote:
'I thought your little house seemed... distinguished and exciting and beautiful... it looks splendid and it can never be ordinary with the Tyne going by outside... You have a great English river drifting under your window...'
The place always cheered them both up. 'As always, the place worked its spell', wrote Larkin. From here they journeyed to the Lake District and elsewhere. They visited Hadrian's Wall, Langley Castle, Allendale and Allenheads. They certainly crossed into Scotland at Carter Bar. The pair occasionally dined out with friends at the Lord Crewe arms in Blanchland,
Larkin's poem 'Show Saturday' is a description of the 1973 Bellingham show. He refers to Haydon Bridge and its California Gardens allotments in the poem:
"Back now to private addresses, gates and lamps
In high stone one-street villages, empty at dusk,
And side roads of small towns (sports finals stuck
In front doors, allotments reaching down to the railway);
Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday".
In 1982, Monica retired to live in Haydon Bridge. Larkin called her 'Bun', a Beatrix Potter allusion, and both called 1A Ratcliffe Road her 'Rabbit Hole'. Larkin was fond of animals, particularly rabbits; they were also Monica's favourite animal. She often asked to see the pet rabbits of the Willis family next door. Monica finally left the cottage in 1984, when ill-health prevented her living alone. She continued to enquire about it, however, asking Mrs Willis by phone: 'How is my little house?' 'How is my river, is it high?' A prospective buyer recalls that Monica talked about Haydon Bridge as if it were paradise; she was still desperately reluctant to sell the property and even nurtured thoughts of an eventual return.
Following Monica's death in 2001 1a Ratcliffe Road yeided up part of the treasure of almost 2000 letters from Philip Larkin, now in the care of the Bodlean Library. An impressive selection has been made by Anthony Thwaite and published in 2010 in "Philip Larkin Letters to Monica"

Philip Island, Victoria, Australia. March 2010.
Captured in the late afternoon, on a trip to Melbourne, with a day spent at Philip Island. I had experimented with lomography but had not developed the film till now. Unfortunately, as it turns out, I am not secretly Vivian Maier!
