Keefer's Island
Keefer's Island occupies 1.85 acres and is located approximately 1/4 mile south (downstream) form a cut in the Snake River known as John's Hole. Keefer's Island was named for Fred W. Keefer, a member of a prominent family in the early days of Eagle Rock (now Idaho Falls).
Fred Keefer was one of seven children born to William and Eldora Keefer. William Walker Keefer came to Eagle Rock from Pennsylvania in 1879, at the age of 27. In 1866, he married Eldora Virginia Shoemaker, a teacher from Pennsylvania. After arriving in Eagle Rock, William worked as a railroad bridge construction superintendent. He was later responsible for building railroad shops, the city's first steel bridge, and the dam across the turbulent Snake River below the Broadway Bridge.
Fred Keefer filed a mining claim on the island in 1939 and built a 14'x22' one-room cabin. The Douglas fir logs for the cabin were cut on the South Fork of the Snake River and were floated downstream to the island two or three at a time, towed by a rowboat. The cabin had a shingled roof, brick and stone chimney, cement chinking, and walls that were varnished inside and out.
A Quit Claim Deed between the City of Idaho Falls and Fred W. Keefer was made on December 7, 1962, deeding the city his home and other improvements for a consideration of one dollar, with the stipulation that the island be known as "Keefer's Island" forever. The City of Idaho Falls received a Land Patent for the island from the Department of the Interior on January 15, 1963.

Magellan's Cross is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese, and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu in the Philippines on April 8, 1521.
This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street (Magallanes being the Spanish name of Magellan), just in front of the city hall of Cebu City. A sign below the cross describes the original cross is encased inside the wooden cross that is found in the center of the chapel. This is to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for souvenir purposes or in the belief that the cross possesses miraculous powers. Some people, however, believe that the original cross had been destroyed or had disappeared after Magellan's death, and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully colonized the Philippines.
Magellan's Cross is a symbol of Cebu, and the chapel's image can be found in its city seal. It is also seen as the symbol of Roman Catholicism in the Philippines.

As I have previously mentioned in a previous few post's , Greater Glasgow PTE's fleet of 46 Leyland Olympian's were made up of 4 different batches , the prototype , LO1 being one of the first of Alexander's R Type , followed by 10 Roe bodied examples to normal , highbridge height.These were then followed by a batch of 5 to lowheight configuration , followed by another 5 , this time with production style R Type bodies.LO's 2 to 21 were all X registered to be followed by a larger batch of 20 ECW bodied examples registered in the large KGGxxxY batch that the company seemed to muster at that time , totalling 70 in all (KGG101-171Y inclusive).The last 5 were A registered with ECW bodies aswell , but the one thing that always struck me as odd was the difference on styles of air intakes at the rear of the different batches.The R type's all seemed to be largely similar in this respect but I have done this drawing to show the differences of the 3 ECW batches and managed to tag a Roe bodied example on that far end.We see from left to right , LO9 (CGG832X) , LO43 (A372TGB) , LO14 (CGG838X) and passing by the others , LO23 (KGG143Y).This would have been captured just after LO23 had been relieved of it's advertising for the company when it was used with a happy face attatched to the front.Variety was the order of the day it would seem!

In this case Thursday's child was a vintage child's chrome dinette set. There it was sitting in the middle of a yard sale driveway and only five dollars. I oohed and awed, thought about cleaning the chrome, wondered where I would put it and left it.....Yes I did....I left it. Hours later I had that nagging nagging. I thought of four different places where the set could live in my house. I jumped in the car, went ten miles over the speed limit, wondering if it would still be there. I spotted the table ON THE CURB and so were the chairs. I ran up the driveway looking for people. "Are you throwing it away? May I have it? Yes! Yes they said and came to help me load it into the car, the man saying, "My children used this table. It used to belong to their mother." How? How? Can you let it go? I have one chair cleaned and polished so far, it took three hours and still needs a little more work. This will be a perfect table to play games, The Game of Happiness, work puzzles and have tea parties. We are so happy to give this dinette set a new home, a forever family.
One of the old pub's in the Grassmarket - this one is named for an 18th century character, Maggie was deserted by her husband, struggling to ends meet she moved out of town and took a job in an inn, where the owner's son got her pregnant. Of course the errant lad wouldn't get the blame, the woman would get the blame, so she concealed the pregnancy for as long as possible, but gave birth to a premature child which died. She abandoned the body by the river, it was found and Maggie was charged and convicted with concealing her pregnancy and birth,
Taken back to Edinburgh she was hanged at the public Gallows in the Grassmarket just outside where the pub stands (another nearby pub, The Last Drop also commemorates the grisly association with the gallows here). But Maggie's story wasn't done yet - according to the story she was heard knocking and shouting from within the rude wooden coffin her body was placed in after it was cut down from the scaffold. Maggie was still alive and kicking (if with a somewhat sore throat). In those days if someone survived a hanging it was seen as the will of god that they live, and so she was freed and lived for another four decades, often referred to by locals as "Half Hangit' Maggie"

Hatter’s Bridge crosses the Leeds and Liverpool canal approximately 1.5 miles north of the Lancashire village of Foulridge. It is so named because during the 18th and 19th centuries felt hat making was a flourishing cottage industry hereabouts. The Colne Parish Baptism Register for 1790-1812 informs us that at least 52 hatters lived in Foulridge and a further 17 lived nearby. In most cases only the felt bodies would have been produced locally and these would then have been sent either to Manchester or to London to be finished. Rabbit fur and wool were used to make the felt and the bones were processed to make the adhesive.
The Leeds and Liverpool canal was constructed between 1790 and 1816 and is the longest unmerged canal in Britain. It runs for 127¼ miles and links the towns of Liverpool, Wigan, Blackburn, Burnley, Skipton, Keighley, Shipley, Bingley Bradford and Leeds. It is the northernmost of three trans-Pennine canals. Unlike the other two, however, which make extensive use of tunnels, the Leeds and Liverpool takes advantage of the Aire Gap and breaches the Pennine chain by a series of canal locks. Arguably the Leeds and Liverpool was the most economically important of all Britain’s canals and unlike some of the others it was never tied to one particular trade or traffic. Coal, wool, cotton, limestone, grain and general cargo were all carried in huge quantities and for many years it actually managed to out-compete the newly developed railways. Today it has found a new lease of life as a tourist attraction and is used almost exclusively for leisure.
Farmland out in the mid north near Goyder's Line along the Barrier Highway, somewhere around Oodla Wirra & Terowie.
And I did cheat a little, I relocated the moon in the shot.
GOYDER'S LINE
With barely 30 years' knowledge of this new country to go on, farmers needed reliable information. In 1865 George Goyder provided it. He discouraged farmers from planting crops north of his line, declaring this land suitable only for light grazing. However farmers were optimistic. 1865 was a year of bumper rains, so many ignored Goyder and headed north, starting farms and planting crops. Just a few years later many had to abandon their farms. Goyder was proved correct and the land was indeed unsuitable for crops. Many farmhouse ruins can still be seen near Goyder's line.
There have been periods of development north of the line, but invariably nature has won out. Entire towns and farms were abandoned when there was a return to longer-term average rainfall. The line has proven remarkably accurate, an amazing feat since it was surveyed in just two months in 1865 by Goyder, then the surveyor-general of South Australia.
Goyder's line starts on the west coast near Ceduna and goes south-east across Eyre Peninsula to strike Spencer Gulf near Arno Bay. It continues from near Moonta north to Crystal Brook and Orroroo then south-east past Peterborough and Burra to the Victorian border near Pinnaroo, crossing the Murray River south of Blanchetown. Much of the land immediately north of the line is covered by saltbush. Agriculture is possible near the Murray River further upstream only because of irrigation using water drawn from the Murray.
It is easy to see Goyder's line when flying over this area. The change in flora is very distinct when one knows what to look for.

No, it's actually the Sylvia Hotel, with Sunset Beach and English Bay in the distance--there's been so much rain here over the past few months that I'm perseverating on photos with sunshine in them...!
The Anna's Hummingbird were thirsty for nectar and seemed to prefer to the natural nectar than the feeders nearby. They would bury themselves into the flowers. The light isn't the best in these images, but this was when I had the opportunity to take these shots.
Los colibríes de Anna tenían mucha sed por el néctar y parecían preferir el néctar natural que el de los comederos cercanos. Se enterraban en las flores. La luz es dura pero ésta fue la ocasión más oportuna para que yo sacara estas imágenes.

Jessee's Mill began operation over 200 years ago, predating the census and tax records of 1790. The mill was the primary source for ground agricultural products and other trading in the Mill Creek Area. John Jessee, a Revolutionary War infantryman, purchased the mill from William Gilmore in 1794. The mill continued mechanical improvement over the years and, around 1890, was made into the three-story structure which stands today.
I don't like bare, gray trees but sometimes it's the only way to get a clear shot of what's behind them.

I miss you all!
After completing six days of meds, the pain came back with a vengeance. I went back to the doctor yesterday. He gave me two more weeks' of pills and sent me for an MRI this morning. He should get the results next week but thinks it is a herniated disc. I have had 7 1/2 hours of sleep total in the past two nights. I can barely sit long enough to work. I'm still lurking about but I cannot stay on flickr like I want. :-(

This image I took down at the Giant's causeway is a bit misleading. What I mean is that it looks like a quiet place but far from it this was the only shot I managed without having 20 people in the frame. My mistake of course, I could only go at the height of summer holidays on a weekend. Before going there I thought the waves and sea spray were my biggest concerns but it turned out it was the waves of tourists arriving in buses. I guess I'll have to come back at a time off the peak of holidays and during a week day. Anyway I'm reasonably happy with my picture.
Esta es la única imagen que pude conseguir sin tener al menos a 20 turistas dentro. Antes de ir a la calzada del gigante me preocupaba por el oleaje y las salpicaduras de agua de mar, pero no sospechaba que eran las oleadas de turista que llegaban en autobuses los que me iban a resultar más problemáticos. Fue mi culpa desde luego ya que no pude ir en otro día que en temporada alta de verano y durante un fin de semana. Ya tengo escusa para volver y aún así estoy contento con esta imagen.

After introducing myself, I realized that I didn’t know were my phone was… I started searching all over my pockets with the growing feeling of despair (the ‘oh no…’ one). Why I have to be me?! I exclaimed while giving my camera to S to try a better search inside of my pockets. S looked at her friend and said ‘…we got his camera lets run away!’. I instantly found my phone and answered:
Please don’t do it girls… I might never catch you… because I’m a gentleman! I wish you tons of good luck my friends!(urbanphoto.project@yahoo.com)

The Florida Keys are a coral cay archipelago located off the southern coast of Florida, forming the southernmost portion of the continental United States. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles south of Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern part of Key West is just 90 miles from Cuba. Best sunsets in the world are seen here.
The sailing ship Adolphine moored at the Custom House in Dublin, with a swivel bridge in the foreground. There are posters advertising Pleasure Trips to Lambay Island that also say "William Hall" - hardly the name of the vessel?
The two-storey building beyond the Custom House is the original Liberty Hall, which I only found out yesterday was formerly the Northumberland Hotel...
And this was taken at 9.35 am!

Peck's Skipper.
Normally I have huge large numbers of a variety of Grass Skipper species in my yard through from mid-June. This year there are very few butterflies, so I was pleased to see at least one Peck's Skipper taking advantage of the cone flowers in my yard.

The traveler's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis) is not a true palm but has been described as being part banana plant and part palm tree. Its long leaf stems (petioles) and deep green leaves resemble those of the banana and extend out from the trunk like the slats of a giant hand fan. The traveler's palm gets its name from the fact that thirsty travelers could find stores of water in many parts of the plant.
