Mites of the genus Balaustium (pronounced ba-LOW-stium) are tiny (1mm long), fat, active, red-colored mites. They can be found on almost anything, but their red color makes them standout on sidewalks and buildings and thus their common names Sidewalk Mites, Pavement Mites, Asphalt Mites or Concrete Mites. On rare occasions they even enter buildings. All stages (larva, deutonymph, adult) are normally predatory on small soft-bodied arthropods including eggs. However, several species do consume pollen.
Four species of Balaustium have been described from North America, but several other species in the genus have not yet been described. Species level identification is best left to the taxonomic acarologists. Balaustium are commonly found in urban and suburban areas where they can at times reach high numbers on sidewalks and sides of buildings. A couple of Balaustium species are reported to bite humans when the mites move indoors, but this is very rare even when they occur in large numbers. The red adults are superficially similar to several other bright-red mite species that occur in Maryland, that also can be found on concrete or sidewalks or occasionally found in homes.
This specific mite was found on a dead oak branch that had fallen to the ground in my front yard (Howard County, Maryland). The upper center insert shows the ends of the hind legs while the enlargement at the right shows the details of the mouth parts.

Beach Combing: Testing out a 1958 Walzflex TLR film camera on 9 Mile Beach in Santa Cruz. While not a standout camera among TLRs, the detail that this vintage lens captures amazes me. Look closely in the middle of lower frame and see the two beach combers.

Although all the rooms of the Rone - Empire installation exhibition are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one of them. It features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.
i really liked this shot. the sand-breaker just stands out, and looks like its been shot in a studio. but obviously it wasn't, and its unedited, like the majority of my photos (except hdr, focus stacked etc)

Standout car for me here is the brown Mazda 929, looks like the later facelift model (as glimpsed on one of yesterday's Burntisland postcards).
Several Escorts both Mk1 and 2, rearmost one loos like a Popular with the black bumpers and hubcaps (but with an optional/afternmarket vinyl roof).
I have nothing to offer on the horse and cart.

Hey everyone! I hope you've enjoyed a sensational Saturday! This first ever encounter with a Stinging Rose caterpillar was certainly a standout event of the morning for me and my shooting buddy Toby and his wife Judy! A beautiful find but treacherous...look but don't touch...its sting is highly poisonous!
