Looking quite brainy.
The quirky flowers do beg for attention.
Touch the flowers; they are amazingly soft.
The cockscomb or cristata types feel and look like velvet, soft and shiny.
They also are great for drying and thus can be kept for a long time, looking more and more antique.
Take care, be safe!
Have a day filled with inner joy and thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “T” (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.[2]
During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.

«Y a pas le feu au lac», disent les Suisses avec leur accent traînant. Justement si, il y a le feu (au lac ou pas) !
L’expression « il n’y a pas le feu au lac » s’utilise pour signifier que rien ne presse, qu’il n’y a pas lieu de se dépêcher.
Elle connut à l’origine, au milieu du XXe siècle, une formulation plus courte. On disait à l’époque « il n’y a pas le feu ». Cette expression restreinte est d’ailleurs utilisée encore de nos jours. Elle est aisément compréhensible. S’il n’y a pas le feu rien n’oblige à se presser puisqu’aucun incendie ne doit être éteint. On peut donc prendre son temps.
Plus tard, l’extension « au lac » fut accolée à l’expression d’origine en référence au lac Léman, pour railler la prétendue lenteur du peuple suisse. Ce lac est en effet un des symboles du pays et l’absurdité de mentionner la possibilité qu’une étendue d’eau soit en feu participe grandement au caractère sarcastique de la référence à la Suisse.
"Y a pas le feu au lac", as the Swiss say in their drawling accent. That's just it, there's fire (at the lake or not)!
The expression "il n'y a pas le feu au lac" is used to mean that there's no hurry, that there's no need to hurry.
Originally, in the mid-twentieth century, it was used in a shorter form. In those days, we used to say "il n'y a pas le feu" ("there's no rush"). This restricted expression is still used today. It's easy to understand. If there's no fire, there's no need to hurry, because there's no fire to put out. So you can take your time.
Later, the extension "au lac" was added to the original expression in reference to Lake Geneva, to mock the alleged slowness of the Swiss people. The lake is indeed one of the symbols of the country, and the absurdity of mentioning the possibility of a body of water being on fire contributes greatly to the sarcastic nature of the reference to Switzerland.
A6-ENM, a Boeing 777-31HER, on approach to runway 05 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as UAE2623 (Emirates Airline) from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was the aircraft's first visit to Toronto.
When Emirates introduced its special EXPO 2020 DUBAI UAE decals, it noted that the orange design signified opportunity. Other than the alliteration, that relationship is lost on me.
The blooming of bird cherry trees signifies the start of summer for many people here.

A Cumulonimbus Incus (Anvil Cloud) can be seen mid image and developing in the upper portion of lower Towering Cumulonimbus Clouds - resulting from rising air spreading out when bouncing off the base of the Stratosphere.
Cumulonimbus is a dense towering cloud formed beneath 20,000ft from water vapour carried by powerful upward currents and are associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. They can form alone, in clusters or along cold squally front lines - like the ones presently in a North Westerly airflow viewed above the hillside.
Besides thunderstorms, these clouds can bring heavy rain and hail which we are currently experiencing - between sunnier spells. Snow is also falling on the higher peaks in Snowdonia.

This is the top view of this unusual flower, to me it looks like a brain, the intricacies, different lobes.
It was my full intention to photograph it like this from the moment I saw it.
Difficult to control the light because of the glossy texture of the velvety flower.
The cockscomb or cristata types feel and look prickly but are soft and shiny as velvet.
In the Victorian language of flowers, Celosias signified humour, warmth, and silliness.

Reconstruction at Histria, Romania
Histria or Istros (Ancient Greek: Ἰστρίη, Thracian river god, Danube), was a Greek colony or polis near the mouths of the Danube (known as Ister in Ancient Greek), on the western coast of the Black Sea. Histria is derived from the Latin word "Hister", meaning "Danube", and "-ia", a suffix added to a word to signify that it was a location or place, as in Gallia or Iberia. Altogether Histria means "On the Danube", "Located near (or by) - The Danube". It was the first urban settlement on Romanian territory when founded by Milesian settlers in order to facilitate trade with the native Getae, in the 7th century BC. The earliest documented currency was an 8-gram silver drachma, issued by the city around 480 BC. It was under Roman rule from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. Invasions during the 7th century AD rendered it indefensible, and the city was abandoned.
The ruins of the settlement were first identified in 1868 by French archaeologist Ernest Desjardins. The Histria Museum, founded in 1982, exhibits some of these finds. The excavation project and site also features prominently in the film The Ister. (Wikipedia)
Prunus padus, known as bird cherry, hackberry, hagberry, or Mayday tree,
In Finland and Sweden, the blooming of bird cherry (Swedish-Hägg) signifies the start of the summer for many people.
Finally some good warbler action this afternoon in a few weeks. Looks like the winds are favourable for lake Ontario and hopefully these birds stick around for a few days! Also heard my first Blackpoll which signifies the beginning of the end.

There is a little selfie in the teapot reflection, too.
We have named our home here at Keefer Lake, "Ithaka." Symbolically, Ithaka is associated with the notion of returning home, signifying the journey of self-discovery and the yearning for a place to truly belong. Ithaka's connection to Homer's Odyssey is one of its most famous features as the home of the legendary hero Odysseus.

100 years ago today President Warren G. Harding drove the golden spike to signify the completion of the 470 mile long Alaska Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. The ceremony took place just at the north end of the massive Mears Memorial Bridge across the Tanana River from the community of Nenana. I wish I could be there today with my friends and colleagues for the reenactment and celebrations taking place, but alas I'm some 3300 miles away (in a straight line...4500 or so to drive).
But since I can't here's a photo from a half dozen years ago just north of that hiatoric location as the ARR's local coal turn (train 188W) is headed north back to Fairbanks from the Usibelli Coal Mine in Healy behind a SD70MAC / GP40-2 alongside the Parks Highway at about MP 414.7.
In the background about a mile behind them is the Mears Bridge, a mighty 700 ft long structure which is one of the longest simple truss bridges in the world and was the final obstacle in the completion of this monumental wilderness railroad.

During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.

A Japanese Spider Chrysanthemum, again; a different type.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)
Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.
They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the centre of diversity is in China.
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.
The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.
For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration.
A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.
The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.
Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
