Thanks for all the Talk my friends :))))
I will leave you with a couple of friends I met this afternoon :)))
Have a great weekend all of you out there in flickr land :)))))
Saw these two in my garden last summer. I liked how they were perching together and then realised it was a Father and perhaps his Son. Maybe dad had been imparting some knowledge to his offspring.
Here's the last tractor, and whacko title, in this series and it's all green and yellow... including the background except for the country lane and sky. It's a two cylinder John Deere Model-A tractor in the big assembly at the Dougherty Museum year end party. According to Wikipedia (and this doesn't come from the illegal political right jive artists so it is probably true), the John Deere Model A was produced to directly compete with McCormick's Farmall tractors. It was a very popular tractor that used Deere & Company's famous two cylinder design. Early tractors burned distillate, and became a main selling point because of its low price. Deere & Company's two cylinder design made a very distinctive sound giving them the nickname "Johnny Poppers."
There is a tractor that wasn't in line at the back. This is surely a raft of diverse tractor manufacturers. I had to shoot this because of the background green and yellow sunflowers. Beyond are fields, sky and farms from the "California Burning" sky. Although we toured the museum's inside some time ago in the heat of summer, I surely didn't remember such a vast host of agricultural implements inside with others scattered elsewhere. We are still stuck in the heat of summer and Trump is out of paper towels and passion for the Carolinas although his supporters there are learning global warming lessons.
A couple of Saturdays back Dougherty had their end of summer blow out. Boulder County Open Space maintains and opens the museum on summer Fridays and weekends. They moved a load of their antiques outside and into the daylight which was a grand improvement especially for those with cameras. The museum started when Ray Dougherty started to acquire old automobiles. He finally branched out to antique farm equipment and early home entertainment devices.
This was a dandy day and I am glad eDDie jumped me to get down there at 9:00 on the stroke of opening. I was over toasted after a couple of hours. Summer t'ain't over here; we get a week of 90s this September week. I must have been a little later than dead on time because folks were shuttling to park and around exhibits. My first trek was over to machinery. From the size of the tractor lineup, I had a load of shooting at this event.
Two humpback whales swim side by side this weekend near Monterey, CA. You can see the tail of one of the whales diving, and the other taking a breath of air. Humpback Whales are beautiful creatures, and do not mind having boats follow them around (from a safe distance, of course). Im surprised by this - given the history of whaling. I am glad we have taken steps to protect whales, since they are astonishing creatures.

(AI) Wish You Were Here – Dark Acoustic Delta Blues Harmonica Cover
… How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Runnin' over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here
937 passing over the Waianakarua River's North Branch bridge. The Road bridge behind the loco is 148 years old. Arched bridges are rare in N.Z. The pylons of the rail bridge are about 145.
Two of a group of three I found together. The rut is over, deer are back in single-sex herds, and they will soon drop their antlers.

Two pics posted of the final and seemingly least desirable component of the Hartford Court trio of apartment buildings. I wonder what that apparent "fire escape" is for.
One can deduce from the two photos that the entrances of this block are not on a street but are in fact between this and the blue building in the trio.
