One of several streets in Pasadena that are covered with a tree canopy, making residential areas most appealing.
After going as far as the end of the Burbury Brickworks Nature Reserve, we turned back and headed back through there and then the Blackberry Way again.
Between Stratford Road and Formans Road, known in the 14th century as Foulemoreslone and which used the Fole- or Fullford (foul ford) the stretch is known as Blackberry Way, being named after consultation with local residents and highly suitable, as this is one of the best blackberry picking sections of The Shire Country Park.

Black howler monkeys are one of the few primate species with different coat colors in males and females—a trait called sexual dimorphism, which is a broad term that includes differences in size, behavior, and other characteristics between males and females of the same species. Males have a black coat, while females are blonde. Black howler monkeys have a prehensile tail without hair on the bottom side, which they use for grasping during locomotion. The upper molars have sharp, shearing crests that are used in grinding leaves. They move slowly using a quadrupedal mode of locomotion and they have five-toed, grasping feet. The large hyoid bone (Adam's apple) that allows for their loud call restricts arm movement, so howler monkeys rely heavily on their tail for locomotion.

In recent years, scientists have discovered that life abounds in the canopy (the tops of old trees) and on the forest floor. Canopy research supported by Save the Redwoods League has revealed that many species can live in the redwood canopy, including worms, salamanders and plants such as Sitka spruce, ferns and huckleberry. www.savetheredwoods.org/redwoods/coast-redwoods/?_ga=1.12...

Commentary.
Turning back to base, photographs taken,
after a spectacular ten-mile cycle across the Surrey Hills, near Leith Hill.
Tiredness setting in.
Just one more rise to negotiate, then free-wheel down to the Wotton Hatch for a swift pint, to quench a biting thirst.
And suddenly……
this.
Having been a warm, sultry day at the height of summer,
and early afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky.
Like a white, dazzling rapier it penetrated the emerald umbrella canopy of the beech trees above.
A radiant laser-beam of blinding brilliance lit up the woodland,
like a giant super-trouper.
Green iridescence, firework night, Christmas, carnival,
all at once.
Millions of leaves glowed and danced like a mammoth back-projection to some epic, gargantuan entertainment.
Skeletal trunks and branches reached up,
left, right and down in their dendritic style.
Silhouettes on a living green ceiling.
Silence, brilliance.
For a moment heaven was a
magical, blinding, glittering, luminous green shroud
on a quiet lane in the Surrey Hills.
Paradise is all around us…….
All we sometimes need to do…… is see!

I guess farmers plant these rows of trees to act as a windbreak?
I would say that the trees in these photos are either Gimlets (Eucalyptus Salubris), Salmon Gums (Eucalyptus Salmonophloia), Red Morrel (Eucalyptus Longicornis) or a mixture of them. I think these look mostly like Gimlets.

Unexpected astronomy: Circular light patches under a tree canopy are the images of the sun. Each small opening in the leaf canopy acts as pinhole camera - in effect these are projections of the solar image through hundreds of pinhole cameras.
When observed during the solar eclipse, the images would be of the (partially) eclipsed sun - for example they all might appear as 'crescent' suns.
See the previously posted image of the sun through a single pinhole: www.flickr.com/photos/astronomyatstevens/14620703938/

Regina, Saskatchewan, is famously absurdly situated on an inhospitable treeless plain, and the townspeople have lined their residential streets with elms — stately elms, most of which have not yet gotten ruined by Dutch Elm Disease, the hated killer.
In some sections of the city, the commercial streets are not treelined, creating comically sharp demarcations between treelinèdness and non-treelinèdness, at those places where commercial streets intersect residential streets. Haha!

Species:N. quercus
Binomial name
Neozephyrus quercus
Family Group: Lycaenidae – Blues
When: July to August.
Size: Wingspan around 38mm.

Description
The Purple Hairstreak is our commonest Hairstreak but is not often noticed. Males have a purple upper wings whereas females have just a purple patch. The underwings are similar in both sexes, being lilac-brown crossed by a white 'hair-streak' and with an orange eye-spot next to a small tail streamer.
Habitat
Found around oak trees. It is often difficult to locate, due to its habit of flying in the tree canopy; however, the adults are occasionally seen basking at lower levels, on various small trees, shrubs and bracken.
When to see it
July and August
Life History
The adults feed on honeydew in the tree canopy and the larvae feed on oak buds.

Built in the open Rotton Park by John Perrott in 1758, who lived in Belbroughton, the tower now stands high above the local residential and business housing.
There are many stories to explain why the tower was built. One is that John Perrott wanted to be able to survey his land and perhaps entertain guests. Or the tower might have been used to spot animals for hunting. Or that he built the tower so that he could see his wife's grave, 15 miles away.
From 1884 to 1979 the tower was used as a weather recording station for the Birmingham and Midland Institute. In 1966 the Geography Department of the University of Birmingham took over the running of the observatory until operations were transferred to the main campus.
It has been suggested, but not proven, that the towers of Perrott's Folly and Edgbaston Waterworks may have influenced references to towers in the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, who lived nearby as a child.
Fuzzy Primate With Bat Wings -
What was that clinging on the tree? I pinch myself hard to make sure I was not daydreaming, that it was really there. Little known, seldom seen, the odd reddish brown creature above was indeed the most elusive gliding mammal I thirst to meet. There are only two species of colugos, this is the Sunda Colugo and the other is found only in southern Philippines. Although his eyes were always skywards (have to watch his back for eagles I guess), I suspect his binocular vision also extend to the ground. The tall height and uneven elevation on the ground was challenging. As I was adjusting my position below the tree for a better view, he was also gyrating slowly on the trunk. Picture a terribly cute lemur doing Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, the scenario was comical. I still can’t figure how he does that without lifting his claws off the tree. It would be nice if he lowered himself for me so I get a better shot, too bad that never occurred and I continue to stargaze my prize from atop. What happened next was like a bolt from the blue.
