A couple policemen showed up and began writing tickets right and left in the area where I was parked. I was pretty sure that I had no reason to worry, but I did anyway simply because that’s the way I am. Apparently I got a green, they strolled right by my car with barely a glance, but their presence made me nervous. Geez, what a worrywart! I was so distracted that when the gates down at Prospect Ave I barely gave it a glance until the 1074 sailed around the curve to the west! Ooppss, it was train time!

If you are one of the few who don't know about the leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama.. well here ya go www.youtube.com/watch?v=nda_OSWeyn8
I was lucky enough to be living in Mobile when this happened and actually did catch it on the news. Life in Bama is rather amusing at times, ha
Can you see that picnic table? Ha! I am guessing (hoping?) the water levels are different in the summer.
It's been a while since I made any kanzashi but i recently started up on my project to make one of every monthly maiko kanzashi. This one is round fans for July
I catch a word of the universal rhyme, in the summertimes in the summertimes,
The river flows and I wonder where it goes,
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows,
Inpatient with the human race, still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth,
But then tonight I had this dream, so horrible I had to scream
I saw the Earth naked like the Moon, naked like the Moon...

A dip into the 1965 sales catalogue from BSA
This bike was offered to the American market, in the land of the Harley who could resist 75 throbbing cc's of raw power, well the Americans did.
The bike was a tarted up BSA Beagle which came in non-metalic green or white in the UK, it didn't sell...The reason was, it was not a bad bike, but BSA built it as a response to the Honda Cub, by the time it came out it was too late. The Honda was well established, had ultra reliable sewing machine like engine, leading link suspension, weather protection, trafficators and because the petrol tank was under the seat the bike was low so it was easily ridden by male and female alike. The Beagle was, quite frankly ill equipped and badly finished.
Even the track it was built on was a lash up, it had two parallel lines and the bikes went down one side, onto a cradle that had a fixed pivot equidistant between the split tracks at one end, and an axle with a Bantam wheel like half a roundabout, this was pushed round until it lined up with the other side and the bike continued it's journey to completion when it was lifted off with an electric block and tackle.
I started my BSA career putting the tanks and seats on these bikes, it could have been worse, we built the Ariel Pixie and Triumph Tina at Small Heath.

50021 "Rodney" at Paignton on Friday 21st February 1986 running round the stock for the 1515 to Exeter.
Rodney was taken from Paddington to Paignton and then back to Newton Abbot on the 1515 for 50045 to Liskeard and finally 50010 back to Plymouth.
Paignton North signalbox in the background was closed less than two years later, in March 1988 and control for its area was given to Paignton South. This in turn closed in August 1989 when a mini panel was installed in the station buildings for signalling all trains in the Paignton station area.

Southgate Underground Station, London, England
This is the image that I picked to celebrate the London Underground 150th Birthday, I hope it does it justice and you enjoy it. Some other great new yesterday was that I had 6 London Underground images picked by Londonist which were published on their website, again to celebrate the anniversary which I was very happy about and more on that in tomorrows upload :-).
This image was taken at Southgate Underground Station on the Piccadilly Line during a photowalk with fellow friend and photographer Daniel Borg. Southgate has become one of my favourite stations on the network as there is so much stunning art deco architecture there. I do plan to revisit there at somepoint in the next few weeks. What always captures my eye at these Charles Holden Art Deco stations is the sweeping curves mixed in with straight lines, you wouldn't think they go together but they do. The Charles Holden stations are the most (in my opinion) ascetically pleasing stations on the network.
Oh I have also just noticed that this is my 500th upload to Flickr, just my mini celebration compared to that of the Tube. I can't believe how quick that has gone and I have managed to get 500 images up. Heres to the next 500 :-).
Some feedback on yesterdays upload, Helix of Beauty - Revisited, wow what a response and thank you all for your feedback on it. It seems that the general consensus was that the B&W version most people prefer which I would agree with. I was quite lucky with the guy walking up the stairs to give that motion blur :-).
Thats all for now and I hope you all have an awesome Tuesday.

Information
Southgate station opened on 13 March 1933 with Oakwood on the second phase of the northern extension of the Piccadilly line from Finsbury Park to Cockfosters. Prior to the station's opening, alternative names were suggested including "Chase Side" and "Southgate Central". On opening, local residents were given a free return ticket to Piccadilly Circus.
The station is built in the Art Deco/Streamline Moderne design style using brick, reinforced concrete and glass and is one of the best known of the many stations Charles Holden designed for London Underground. The station building is circular with a flat projecting concrete roof. Externally, the flat roof of the raised central section appears, impossibly, to be supported by nothing more than a horizontal band of windows that provide daylight to the ticket hall. The roof is actually supported, umbrella-like, from a central column within the ticket hall. The whole building is topped by an illuminated feature resembling a Tesla coil.
Like Arnos Grove, Oakwood and Cockfosters, Southgate is a listed building in this case at Grade II* (regraded from Grade II in 2009) and retains much of its original decoration. The two escalators have the original column lighting, while bronze panelling is in evidence throughout the station. However; the station is not without change: in the late 1990s, one of the three entrances was filled in to be used as a new ticket office, and due to the design of the automatic barriers, one of the two remaining entrances is exit only.
In 2008 the station was extensively renovated, with new tiling at platform level, a partial new floor in the main ticket hall, and improved signage throughout. The station won the London Regional category award at the 2008 National Railway Heritage Awards for the modernisation of a heritage station.
The preserved condition of the station's original features, particularly the escalators, makes Southgate popular for filming scenes for period dramas, including scenes for the 1999 version of the film, The End of the Affair.

Pyrola rotundifolia taken at Ainsdale LNR nr. Southport. Like the Grass of Parnassus this plant is a speciality of the dunes around the Sefton Coast, growing in particularly good number in the damp areas around the dunes at Ainsdale LNR.
Well, the top has been soldered on with 14K medium hard solder....note, no pits...and the solder extends to to the base of the bezel as well. On the first 'run' with the solder.... many gaps remain. Then I pickle...add more solder, and make a second run...many gaps will then close spontaneously as I bring it up to temperature...before the new solder fuses.....more heat, and the new solder flows. Pickle...and repeat as necessary. This took about 4 runs. Once I'm absolutely sure no gaps are present.....and I'm finished with the soldering process...do I file up the outside to shape....before filing up there is a very slight 'overhang' of the white gold plate. Notice on the previous shots that the outside edge of the plate is wider than the inside edge.....this was to allow for this 'overhang' which was removed during filing up....leaving the stones centered on the finished plate.
