After leaving Venford Falls on Thursday we took a short drive round to Mel Tor. I've never been to this tor before so it was really more of a scouting trip.
I really liked this tree on the side of the tor and the view looking across to Venford Reservoir was great.
We weren't really up there long, just had a wander, took a few shots and headed home again. But, it's a lovely spot with great views over the Dart Valley. I'll definitely be up this way again soon.

Our ice is mostly gone now and people are going out on quiet days fishing and people riding their bikes to the end of the pier. Lots of people up looking for Petoskey stones. Getting on now with spring. Feels so good.
Happy Monochrome Thurday.
1934 Brewster Town Car
The Brewster was immortalized in the Cole Porter song, "You're the Top" and is the only American to ever win the Gold Medal at the Paris International Exposition, a gathering of Europe's finest coachbuilders.
The Ford deal and the end.
To save Brewster from the Depression, an employee purchased 135 Ford V8 roadster chassis and designed a body for it, identified by its swoopy fenders and a heart-shaped grille.
Stylish and selling for only $3,500, it was a hit at the 1934 New York Auto Show. The bodies were worth more than the chassis. These cars were registered as Brewster and sold at Rolls-Royce showrooms, and were not branded as Fords.
I'm a little late to the Thirty Thursday party but better late than never I guess. This is WC train L0-34 a couple miles out of Soo yard on July 18, 1990 with 704 and 6559 leading the way.
Watching the light driving home today I had to drop in to Lake Illawarra and visit my favourite tree..
Thursday’s child, a soul in flight,
Chasing dawn beyond the night—
Woven from resolve and light,
They rise where shadows lose their bite.

As I was going to bed last night I switched the outdoor light on and the snow was starting to subside and the deer were coming in from the mountain and searching for left over bird seed.
Woke up to 20* this AM and I'm going out today when everything get's plowed and shoveled. Schools still closed though here and all around.
Another oldie but goodie from 2012 in the hood where I used to live. This magnificent ladder truck was nearby with several others. God bless all firefighters! Happy Truck Thursday!
Pssstttt ... my submission for last week made it to Explore! WooHoo, thank you, Jesus.
It was a busy day in my rural office. I grabbed a late lunch and dashed to photograph the barn in between meetings. TBH I literally didn't have time to line up the shot the way I would have liked.

It was so nice last night we went to the Dairy Grill and got two cheeseburgers and french fries being as though it was national cheeseburger day. So we went down to the harbor and sat at a table and had dinner.
Monochrome Thursday.
Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes. In local tradition, the Protea flower represents change and hope.
Le nom « Protea » fut donné en 1771 par Carl von Linné (Protée en français). Quelques plantes du Cap lui avaient été envoyées : il a recouru au nom du dieu grec, Protée, qui pouvait changer de forme à volonté, car à partir de la même fleur de base, ce genre montre une étonnante variation de formes et de couleurs suivant l’espèce.
