Three Creeks Metro Park Ohio a gaggle of geese in a row in a pond in the park. My wife and I took a walk on our day off at an Ohio metro park to enjoy the scenery on a beautiful day and we saw this old sight of all these geese lined perfectly in a row cleaning themselves.
From my Churchill memorabilia collection, these three Churchills are in three different media. Left is a metal etched profile, then a Royal Doulton Toby Jug and finally an oddly coloured blue plastic bust, complete with cigar.
Churchill had his faults but one thing on which he could never be challenged was his undeniable opposition to fascism. It was 85 years ago this May when Winston Churchill first became British Prime Minister. Without his magnificently inspirational speeches and his indefatigable energy, the outcome of the Second World War might have been quite different.
It is time for another Churchill to arise and combat the alarming growth of fascism, authoritarianism, call it what you will, with which we are currently faced, or democracy as we know it may be doomed. As an aside, Churchill famously said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

Three trees at Monastery Brow, County Wicklow.
Scots Pines are everywhere really, like a common or garden tree, but they can be so stately as well.

While waiting for out of town visitor, snapped a shot of the O’Hare multimodal facility with a train getting ready to head out to the terminals: Oddly enough for this airport, no delays (dang you light pole!!)
Three first order BN SD60Ms lead a COLX Columbia loads over the east channel of the Mississippi on June 23, 2000. Was rare catching three of the same BN 60s on a coal train so I chased this one past St. Paul even after BNSF turned it over to the CP.
Was also rare to see a meet of coal trains here in Minneapolis on the east end of the Wayzata Sub. The two crossings on Nicollet Island would be blocked during the meet, and there was a hand throw switch at Holden Street, the west end of the Auxiliary Track that the Detroit Edison empty was on. Of course looks different here now with the changes when the Northstar started running.

Judging by the wispy feathers, this looks like it was the young bird that was on the tree right by Mom or Dad. It's not the best quality, but it's difficult to get decent shots deep in the forest and of birds that don't stay still for a second and keep travelling further and further up the tall trees. These Three-toed Woodpeckers are rare here, so I sometimes hang on to photos that are far from good.
The weather forecast was promising rain and mixed precipitation for 7 and 8 September 2014, and there were a couple of places that I thought I had better get to before the bad weather arrived. The first one was Brown-Lowery, to check if there were any mushrooms. I was there recently, and only found a couple of things. This last visit was a little more rewarding and I found several large clusters of tiny mushrooms growing on tree stumps or at the base of trees. Also found several patches of bright orange Coral Fungi. Quite a few people were in the park, so I felt safer going a very short way in. Far enough, as it turned out, to watch this adult and juvenile Three-toed Woodpecker, feeding together on a tree trunk. The young one was copying Mom or Dad, but its soft squeaking sound resulted in the adult feeding it, too. You can tell this tree has been used by the Three-toed Woodpeckers, as much of the bark has been stripped, leaving the orange/brown wood below. This Woodpecker species seems to be reasonably tolerant of people. These are rare birds here, so I feel very lucky to have seen these two and any others in the past.

On that day, little did any of us know that we were in for a major, late summer, snowstorm! Yesterday and today, 9 and 10 September (today), we've had heavy, wet snow that is causing tremendous damage to so many trees in the city. Yesterday, it was said that 5,000 trees had been damaged, and today, conditions are far, far worse. And the snow keeps falling ....

Brown riding coat with black silk lining which buttons in the front three black cloth covered buttons, c.1880. There is a symmetrical pattern on either side of the jacket done in embroidery which also accompanies the cuffs of the sleeve. It looks to be a riding coat due to the split in the back and large separation between sides in the front. Material is delicate due to age. Label says: "Robes Manteaux Fourrures - Risansky - Paris - 36 Rue Des Petits Champ"
