A new Dennis refuse lorry is seen Southbound on the M1 motorway passing Leicester Forest Services. I understand that in order to meet emmission regulations Dennis fits Volvo engines to its current products!
Some danced, some lept and twirled, and others didn't even tap their feet. Flock ballet interactive installation, Trafalgar Square, London

Teach me wrong from right
Cos in life there are no answers and in life there is no right
If the sun won't shine
Now you've come this far to meet me and I know
I know you're mine
You're just too good to lose and I can't refuse
So don't make me choose between the two
I'm better in here in my atmosphere
Don't you know who you are
You're my shooting star

Latterly the spare/back up vehicle for the Northern Parishes Refuse Collection Board. Don't think this has long in this world.
Another collection of People, Posters, Bikes and other things that I've seen in the streets plus a few shadows (these are harder to come by). Have a good weekend.
One of the last remaining P40s leads Amtrak 125 south toward Newport News. Since being bumped from Auto Train duties, these engines have dwindled to near-extinction with some cameo appearances on Virginia regional trains.
...i'm talking about our summer here in UK...last summer was cancelled and this one simply refuses to start!!
Cholmondeley Castle...Cheshire.
Bert is coping with his cold by getting some fresh air, but wrapping up warm. He's also refusing to let go of his cup of tea!
Fossie refused to come inside and have her introductory portrait taken like the rest of the girls. She said if you want my image then you come to me.
Fossie has an extensive wardrobe of lovely frilly, pretty, silky and stylish outfits but she just always insists on wearing her *work cloths*.
Fossie carries a signed photograph of Steve Irwin in her breast pocket and only eats organic foods - mostly nuts and legumes.
I think that sums Fossie up.
We have big changes in our lives coming up but thought I would drop in as today marks my last day as a waste manager at Adur and Worthing Councils after 20 years local government service. It's been an emotional week but new adventures await. I shall be back in the next few weeks to tell you all about them and hopefully I will be in a position to resume posting regularly once again

Taken at my studio. He refused to give me a clear full body shot so I made due with this head shot. He was calling to his mate who was in the forest calling to him. Looks like I'll have a mating pair again this year.

Completely sunk at high tide, that passage in the cliff is the only way to get to the other side / beach / arch / pillar without having to go back up and around, which would take enough time for the high tide to be back anyway.
So accept the dark and slippery path. That's an invitation worth not refusing despite its weird nature.
Taken during a Meetup with the Cincinnati Camera & Photography Club held at E-Town Landfill & Recycling's yard in the North Bend suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
From the web:
"Bomag landfill compactors are multipurpose, heavy-duty machines that provide optimal utilization of capacity allowing the best possible compaction of household, construction and industrial waste materials.
The Bomag refuse compactor surpasses industry standards with its intelligent machine concepts and design making for a durable and efficient package for all landfill sites."
Work progressing at the fire house means the camera time is almost non existent still, other than at the weekends when I'm chasing my grandkids at their running events, something I refuse to miss out on!!! Anyway, the family who lived at the fire house have two cats, both of whom have stayed to oversee works.. they greet us each morning waiting to be fed. Marley is a gorgeous big Tom Cat, very greedy, and Minnie a very shy little girl who has slowly learnt to come for cuddles too. Having no cats at home I think I will probably miss them when work is completed so we had a quick photo op for the memory book.
Totally wrong camera and lens for wildlife at this distance, obviously. But he was posing here so politely that I couldn't refuse.

This is the last of the baby squirrels. They left the nest and I refuse to chase them up the trees. But I thank and love them for this photo opportunity. (I will still have to feed them. :-)) It's been a hoot and a lot's of fun. Also, I want to thank everyone who has shared them with me. Thank you for your support and comments.
From yesterday's meeting at the White House. Here, Trump, his vice president and secretary of state have drawn their knives.
BREAKING: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy breaks his silence on Donald Trump's disastrous Oval Office outburst with stunning grace and class — but refuses to apologize to Trump as demanded by MAGA.
And the best part? He did it on Fox News.
This is what a real world leader sounds like...
"President Trump said after your meeting that you disrespected him and the vice president and all of America in the Oval Office," said Fox News' Bret Baier when Zelenskyy appeared on his show. "Do you think you did? And do you think you owe an apology to President Trump?"
"Thank you so much. First of all, thank you for the invitation, for this dialogue and good evening to all of your country, to all Americans," said Zelenskyy. "I'm very thankful to Americans for all your support. You did a lot. I'm thankful to President Trump and to Congress's bipartisan support and I was always very thankful from all of our people."
"You helped us a lot from the very beginning, here in three years of full scale invasion. You helped us to survive and anyway we are strategic partners," he continued.
"And even in such tough dialogue — and I think we have to be very honest and we have to be very direct to understand each other because it's for us very necessary," said Zelenskyy.
"To President Trump — and with all respect that he wants to finish this war — but nobody wants to finish more than we because we in Ukraine we are in this war, we are in this battle for freedom, for our lives," he went on.
"So I'm just telling that I think we have to be on the same side and I hope that the president on our side together with us and that is very important to stop Putin," continued Zelenskyy. "And I heard from President Trump a lot of times that he will stop the war and I hope he will. And we need to pressure him with Europe, with all the partners."
"And I think this dialogue had to be a little bit earlier to understand where we are," he continued. "Like you know, I don't remember exactly, but like President Reagan said that peace is not just the absence of war."
"Yes, we are speaking about just, lasting peace, about freedom, about justice, about human rights and that's why I said that 'I think so' to ceasefire," he went on. "And you know Putin, he's broken twenty-five times ceasefire during all these years, ten years."
"So I'm not hearing from you Mr. President a thought that you owe the president an apology," said Baier, clearly trying to pander to Trump who was almost certainly watching at home.
"No I respect the president and I respect the American people and if — I don't know, I think that we have to be very open and very honest and I'm not sure that we did something bad," replied Zelenskyy.
"I think maybe somethings we have to discuss out of media, with all respect to democracy and free media but there are things where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians," he added. "And I think that is the most important thing."
"We are partners. We are very close partners. We have to be fair. We have to be very free," said Zelenskyy, sounding far more like an American president than Donald Trump did today.
This is an astonishing display of statesmanship. Rather than give into ego or pettiness, Zelenskyy is rising above Donald Trump's childish bullying to serve his people.
Zelenskyy isn't interested in following Trump down into the gutter. He's interested in securing a lasting peace for his innocent embattled country, a task made all the more difficult by Trump's kowtowing to Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy is also correct that these conversations should take place behind closed doors instead of being exploited to create a media circus. Trump and Vance ambushed him in the Oval Office in front of reporters because they knew that it would make headlines and entertain their base.
They are not serious leaders. Zelenskyy is.

This very young girl insisted on standing in front of the camera and would not leave until I took a picture of her.... and who am I to refuse such a cute child ? :)
Mamma said to her: ....come then? but no, first the photo ....

My garden blackbird has come back and looking straight in my window to announce his presence.

Nature...you have to take what you can!
This was my closest encounter with a stunning Giant Kingfisher...keeping herself well hidden amongst the branches. Just a hint of her rich chestnut belly feathers are visible on her leg....if only she'd turned!! And moved to a less cluttered location! 😁
The Giant Kingfisher visits rivers, streams, lakes, dams and even mountain streams with marginal wooded areas, both in forests and savannahs. It is also found in seaside lagoons, mangroves, inlets and seashores. It can be seen up to 100 metres from the water.
