A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment.

I photographed this Irish built Dennison truck in Preston in 1991.
250 were built between 1977 and 1981 using Finnish Sisu cabs and in this case a Rolls Royce diesel engine.

It's so great to see so many of us girls getting out shopping and enjoying being the girl we always knew we were! For some of us who are on the fence wanting to go out shopping here are some tips from my experience to help getting there!:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Prepare- Make sure you have everything ready including a route and makeup and essentials in you hand bag.
-- Dress nicely- I tend to over dress for shopping but try to look your best and wear what makes you feel feminine. Remember you might be trying on outfits so something you can get and out of yourself helps. 2 pairs of shoes too, leave one in the car so if your feet start hurting or you break a heel you have a backup pair.
-- Timing- I try to go weekdays and early. There are more women and less families, couples, and kids around.
-- Know the stores- If it's a mall I usually check out the mall map to see where the stores I like are and where to park for them.
-- Attitude- Although everyone has been nervous try to get into the mindset of being a woman. Keep saying to yourself that you are female and going to do what females love doing!
-- Going in- Don't be a lurker hiding behind clothes racks and walls, women don't do that. I suggest to immediately find something that you want to see closer. Most times you will be greeted by someone in sales so smile because it makes breaking the ice so much easier. When asked if you need any help try to gush a bit over that item you have chosen to look at closer. Saying things like "This is such a cute dress!" , " I love the colors in this!", "What sizes does this come in?" or just " I love this!" will make the sales person feel at ease and implies that you are really in tune with the feminine world you want to be included in!
-- Buying and playing dress up- It's fine to look around the whole store to see everything. When you find something you want pick it up and also gather other things you may like. Someone will eventually come over and ask if they can hold your selections and offer a try on room until you are done looking. When you decided what you want to buy tell them that you are getting this but want to look around more and they will hold it for you up front. This also confirms you are a paying customer and now frees you up to play "dress up" maybe choosing some things you would have never thought to try on! This approach works like a charm.
-- Compliments- Always give compliments to the girls working in the stores. You can ask if something they are wearing was bought in this store because you love it or maybe the girl has amazing hair or a fantastic make up job that you like. People get closer to you when you notice nice things about them!
-- Be considerate- Do not try to force yourself into something that is obviously too small for you and stretch or tear it. Also keep some folded up paper towels in your purse and use it to cover the neck area when putting on or taking off a pull over top or dress. Better yet ask them if the have a face guard and they will appreciate that you care about the merchandise.
-- Names- Always ask for their names and tell them yours, it makes it more of a intimate and cordial visit. I have had so many sales girls greet me by name on returning visits and goes a long way it showing you care about them.
-- Check out- Be pleasant and talkative while purchasing your new item. Tell them thank you for all the help or that you love the things in the store and will be back!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using these simple tips will make your shopping trips much more fun and I have noticed that if you make it fun for them and they see you having a good time it makes them feel good that they were part of your good experience. I have stopped into stores that I have purchased in just to say hello even if I wasn't going to shop in that that store that day and they appreciated that. I have also done really girlie things like getting cupcakes and bringing them into the store for them to have! One girl said that I was so nice and none of their customers ever did anything like that for them! I have also shown pictures on my phone of me out dressed in a dress or outfit that I bought for them and they loved seeing them! So get out there and enjoy yourselves!
Happy Friday's Flower Power.

This is a pretty self-explanatory picture; these are the tips of several Crayola crayons.
I've owned these crayons for a few years now, so as you can see, most of them have been used, while a few others are in brand new condition.
This picture was taken as part of an assignment on color for my photography class.

Hull Strawberries
Use a straw to hull strawberries (it’s fate!). Press a straw through the bottom of a strawberry until it breaks through the top and takes the hull—the white part of the center of the berry—with it. Remove any remaining leaves with your fingers.

I was half-way to work when I heard 271 get a track warrant out of Nahant and knowing there was still water over the rail, I doubled back to take a look. The water receeded enough to allow running through without much fear of getting water in the traction motors which was just fine by me!

Found a couple of fresh female Orange-tips in the lane outside the house on Thursday however due to the current Hobby obsession, which shows little sign of abating, I didn't take a look at the shots.
Can go as Large as you like with this.
This is not the place to loiter around for too long, both in terms of exposing the photographic equipment and one's well-being. It is quite amazing that anything grows in this area, but this tree's attempt to flourish proved to be a futile attempt, with bucket loaders constantly moving about alongside the railway line. SY 1397 stands with its air pump in operation to power the side-tipping wagon's mechanism as fly ash is discharged with the assistance of a bucket loader. In this harsh environment it is hardly surprising that 'expendable' steam traction continues to be used for such duties.

This 1988 Hino tipper was owned by a Dunstable haulier; it was last licensed in August 1999. Snapped, I think, off Victoria Street in March 1994.

Cape Reinga is generally considered the separation marker between the Tasman Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. From the lighthouse it is possible to watch the tidal race, as the two seas clash to create unsettled waters just off the coast. The Māori refer to this as the meeting of Te Moana-a-Rehua, 'the sea of Rehua' with Te Tai-o-Whitirea, 'the sea of Whitirea', Rehua and Whitirea being a male and a female respectively
The cape is often mistakenly thought of as being the northernmost point of the North Island, and thus, of mainland New Zealand. However, North Cape's Surville Cliffs, 30 km east of Cape Reinga are 3 km further north. Another headland just to the west of Cape Reinga / Te Rerenga Wairua is Cape Maria van Diemen, which was named by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman during his journey in 1642 and thought of by him to be the northernmost point of the newly discovered country he named 'Staten Landt'.
