Some of the beautiful silver birch trees at a National Trust property. I like the colour that the flowers add to the picture.
The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Saw the tutorial with the bubbles on Abduzeedo and basically fell in love with THE BUBBLES! So, decided to make myself something new to stare at every day... I guess this is kind of the mood I'm in, so bleh! Been a while since I've made one of these. Currently only in 1440x900, but if anyone wants other sizes, let me know.

Built as the Fire Sataion in 1921. The original brick facade was replaced by a duplicate in concrete after earthquake damage and later the huge fire-engine doors were glazed.

Driving in Haiti is crazy. This is a narrow (duh) street on our way up to our walled compound. There are no sidewalks, and people could be on either side. The only rule of the road seems to be the bigger vehicle gets the right of way.
On our first day, our bus was met by a pickup truck coming down the hill. Each driver started yelling at the other, and there was a man standing on the street whose head moved back and forth as if he were watching a tennis match. Finally, he started yelling at the pickup driver and motioning him to back up.
Now look carefully at the space above: Can you imagine a bus and a pickup truck side by side? Haitian drivers come much closer to other vehicles and people than I have ever seen in the States. And they weave around each other on bigger roads like nobody's business. Whenever a driver is on a curve, he beeps the horn so that drivers in the other direction know that he is coming.
