Kisaru's six cubs had been tearing around chasing one another and this one decided to take a breather and just watch the others.
Croxteth Hall in Croxteth, Liverpool, is the former country estate and ancestral home of the Molyneux family, the Earls of Sefton. After the death of the 7th and last Earl in 1972, the estate passed to Liverpool City Council, which now manages the remainder of the estate, following the sale of approximately half of the grounds. The remaining grounds, Croxteth Park, were at one time a hunting chase of the Molyneux family and are now open to the public. The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
Obviously from a previous summer.
Prospects for macro work THIS summer are greatly diminished I fear. The two gardens where I do most of my insect / flower photography are both out of commission; thank you covid. The historic mansion grounds, originally set to re-open June 1, remain closed and padlocked, with the resurgence of the little virii. Future uncertain.
The city gardens...not fenced or gated, just stand untended. Untilled plots, browning dead weeds...sad. And the word I was given was that no summer workers are going to be hired this year AND volunteers wouldn't be used either. That left a three person crew...and that crew is just too small for this large area.
All of this is subject to change at some point, but for now, my go to macro sites are DON'T GO TO.

[17:36] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose as he came down from the small ramp. Reaching up the dark cat pulled the cigar from his mouth - tossed it to the floor and proceeded to step on it. He walked forward and leaned on the railing that led to the beach, looking over at the Cyborg Zero.
[17:39] Damienn Kiranov is blatantly amused when he sees the black cat walk up to the railing. He takes a drink from his flask, then puts it back in his pocket. A wry smirk crosses his lips as he speaks. "Well well well. Look what we have here. Sure as hell took you long enough. Surprised?"
[17:41] Taladis Tower grumbled in response to the man's comment. Instead, he moved down the sidewalk - as he walked he was unwrapping the gauntlets around his wrists. He tossed them on the ground as he continued to walk, only leaving the wrappings on his hands. Closing his fists, he just looked at Kiranov with that cold expression.
[17:43] Damienn Kiranov yawns. "Oh God. Now we go to this again... What are you gonna do now? Hmm? Seems kinda pointless to start a brawl when we don't have an audience."
[17:44] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose at Kiranov's comment before practically growling out, "This isn't about people watching." His ears falling against his head, "You were supposed to be dead."
[17:45] Damienn Kiranov laughs and shakes his head. "You've got to be kidding me... Do you really think they would've left out any explosives training when I worked as an operator?"
[17:47] Taladis Tower grumbled lowly, "I don't care. I walked away because I expected you to be dead. You shot me, you left me for dead. I left /you/ for dead, you were just supposed to die. Now - we're somewhat at a crossroads, aren't we?"
[17:49] Damienn Kiranov pops his knuckles and takes his flask out of his pocket. "I guess we would be. So, what's your choice? I could care less about continuing this boring rivalry, since you're not the one I was looking for." He takes a drink from his flask, then pockets it.
[17:50] Taladis Tower watches Kiranov's movements carefully. Tal's cold gaze soon locking on the man's face once more. He wrinkled his nose, a grumble escaping his lips, "Next time that I see you? This won't be 'boring.'" Tal growled as he turned away, then knelt over to pick up his gauntlets before wandering off.

The wind was blowing and the door of this abandoned house was randomly moving through the gusts. I waited and clicked. It was like another time period appeared from the inside.
I find myself sad that I missed posting this amazing gown from Azul until the day The Trunk Show closed :( So I do hope it will be available for you at the main store along with all the other goodies I have on in this post. !!! Check it all out at SimplyAnafied
Westbound for Goodman, the CN 5453 passes Richard's in Dunbar, a classic Wisconsin supper club. This move is likely the last time a CN locomotive, or any locomotive for that matter, served Goodman, Wisconsin.
Originally laid down in 1887 by the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad as an eastward expansion from Rhinelander to Sault Ste. Marie, the "Highway 8 Corridor" was an essential transportation link for the lumberjacks, miners, and everyone else who lived in the northwoods. The railroad changed hands in 1987, becoming part of the Wisconsin Central, which became part of the Canadian National in 2001.
Goodman has always been a logging town, and more specifically a company town. The Goodman Lumber Company had operated a mill in town since its creation in the late 1880s. During its time as a company town, the Sawyer-Goodman Lumber Company was one of the first companies to practice selective-cutting, and due to this practice there is still a similar amount of loggable timber as there was in 1927. As mills often do, companies came and went, and eventually the mill ended up in the hands of the Besse Forest Products Group. Besse changed hands in the mid-2010s, and as the rail movements waned in Goodman, the company began to degrade. In October of 2024, the Goodman Lumber and Veneer Company closed its doors, along with five other Besse owned mills. The closures led to 139 jobs lost across the Northwoods, and ended 115 years of logging in Goodman.
The rumor is that this mill was sold, which led to the movement of two pulpwood flats, which had been sitting here for a number of years. They were billed to the ELS at Escanaba, and have an uncertain future.
As for the track, it goes back into a slumber, until it hosts trains again or is torn up for a snowmobile trail.
These portraits I did for an exhibition, we are raising funds for an Elders center in my area. Here, things are hard for elders, no retirement fees for anyone, so when they have no families they have to live on charity :(
No flash, only natural light. Thanks Pete and Claudio for the tips!!
Weathered stone in one of the large vertical columns at Tynemouth Priory several had this amazing graining enhanced by the weathering
During our holiday in the United States and Canada, in 2014, we stayed a day in Seattle and had the opportunity to visit the Chihuly Garden and Glass. This exhibit is situated next to the Space Needle and opened in may 2012. The American glass artist and sculpturer Dale Chihuly is known for his large glass sculptures.
