The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé that was sold by the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second generation (succeeding the 1939–1948 Lincoln Continental).
As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.
Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its flagship Continental division, with the division phased into Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental) was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunklid.
Intended as a successor to the Lincoln Continental, effectively making its predecessor a Mark I, the Continental Mark II made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955.The Mark II debuted in the United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. With a $9,966 base price (equivalent to $95,100 today), the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($5,700 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($9500 today) for every unit produced
To streamline production, powertrain components were adapted from the Lincoln model line and checked through the division's quality-control program during production. The 368 cubic-inch Lincoln Y-block V8 powered the Mark II, paired with the 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. For 1956, the engines produced 285 hp, increased to 300 hp for 1957
Total productions for the two years produced was 3005 units including about one half dozen preproduction and prototypes.
wouldn't be half so much fun if they were like we are. They can do all sorts of things that we never could do! :-)

"Do I look fat...?" There is no right answer, just run and hide.
Anyways, this Ruddy Turnstone looks like it put on a few pounds over the summer months.

Absolutely fuming that my main target of the day was the only time two trains passed one another here! Looking absolutely pristine, 43049 heads south from Penrith with the 1Z71 Carlisle-Plymouth as a frustratingly close pendo heads north with a Euston-Glasgow service. Had the HST not been a few minutes late and had the pedno not been 8 minutes down there would've been around 10 minutes difference but as fate would have it, it didn't go my way again and for the second time in 4 days I got bowled by a passenger service.
Who can resist the joy of barbeque oysters! Since oysters are reared in Tainan, you get to enjoy free barbeque oysters when you sign up for a tour of the oyster farm.
A very nice lady motioned to us to come near her and when we did, she pointed this nest out to us! We stood in awe as we watched the mom come in to feed the baby. We were in a grove of trees with not a lot of light so the camera had a hard time getting the birds in focus. I switched over to manual focus, and hoped for the best. : )

"The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness... An American Robin can produce three successful broods in one year. On average, though, only 40 percent of nests successfully produce young. Only 25 percent of those fledged young survive to November. From that point on, about half of the robins alive in any year will make it to the next. Despite the fact that a lucky robin can live to be 14 years old, the entire population turns over on average every six years."

Very few opportunities this fall to capture ice because of early snow before the very cold weather.

Inspired by Rod and Di's(www.flickr.com/photos/9019403@N03/) photo today, I went in search of our wedding photo - couldn't believe we looked like this 15 years ago! It's not our anniversary either!!
Someone once said that the depth of your grief is a reflection of the strength of your love.
Thanks Phil Collins for ringing in a fresh start for me.
Campsis (Trumpet Creeper ‘Madame Galen’, Trumpet Vine ‘Madame Galen’).
It is a charming hybrid between Campsis radicals (American Trumpet Vine) and Campsis grandiflora (Chinese Trumpet Vine).
It produces trumpet-shaped, orange to red flowers up to 3 in (8 cm) long that appear in loose clusters of 6 to 12. It is a woody, clinging, perennial vine that attaches itself to structures and climbs vigorously with aerial roots like those of ivy. It bears dark-green deciduous leaves, 8–12 in (20–30 cm) long. Its flowers are very attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.

Taken this morning just as the fog was about to lift. You know, when the world goes from black and white to color? Please view it large to see where the color is just beginning to come through on the island.
Frankfurt, Germany, before working back over the North Atlantic, happy – finally! – to get the photo I've "always wanted"! Oh, yes!
Same Tulip, different angle...
Sorry folk, a little boring showing the same tulip but a different angle produces different results depending on the light. I liked both 🌷🌷🌷🌷
