This is the Humber Bridge, the fifth largest single span suspension bridge in the world according to Wikipaedia. The Humber has a reputation for going along like a mad man, it is a fast and turbulent, all the things that make it the sort of bridge that people jump off. On this day, it was still: the tide was turning and the wind was still and the river was like a sheet of glass. At this point the river is about two miles wide.
Henry Moore sculpture in bronze (1966-1969) or the two large forms? (To be fair only one of the people could be considered a large form!)
Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Colour tweek. Three fields full of poppies have sprung up in Shepshed and are causing quite a stir locally. So I thought I had better go and take a look.
Not sure if my face was really that red from the sun or from trying to climb up there before the self-timer went off!
Talula Tripod didn't get out of breath holding the camera for this photo.
Although I can't be in NYC always, you are with me always...This is only a reminder when your not with me.
A puzzling find on the street my apartment is on. Maybe someone could write a short story about this.

There has been a happy event in my wasp family. When I visited them on the week-end two had hatched and a day later one more had arrived. This wasp has overwintered carrying male sperm ready to fertilise her eggs to produce daughters who have now joined her to help on the work of the nest. Males will be produced from the unfertilised eggs. Prey is caughts and macerated and then fed mouth to mouth to the larvae.

This is where I live! We are living in the little 'hovel' on the LHS of the picture whilst we renovate the main old house . The little 'house' we live in at present is a strange two-roomed structure built under the tin-roofed hangar/barn. We reckon that it was built sometime in the 30s-40s and 'modernised' with an add-on shower-room inside toilet in the 60s-70s. The old house was abandoned when this little house was built, we reckon cause the old couple who lived here could no longer live in the old house that has no running water or kitchen or bathroom etc. It really is very original French peasant house of the region and practically unspoilt with later "improvements". I can't wait to move in. We plan to do very little to it that would change it. We need to build a spiral stair-case (in oak) to gain access to the upstairs to create two rooms. We will be incorporating some little add-on buildings that were used for animal housing to the LHS of the house as you look at it here to provide a bathroom/wet room and separate toilet and also a back door leading onto a south-facing terrace. You can just make out at the extreme left of theold housea little door in a lean-to building that houses the recently completed composting toilet. This humble little room houses an exhibition of some of my photos!!!!The building on the RHS of the old house is the old bread-oven -the 10 cats are fed in here ( the old stair-gate is to prevent the dogs and the hens stealing their food!) unfortunately, the huge wood-fired oven no longer functions as when the building was re-roofed some years ago the chimney was knocked down. We plan to make this building into a dairy and food preparation room which will house the freezers also. We grow all our own food here that has to be washed, chopped up and prepared for freezing, bottling etc and I also make cheese from our goat's milk. At present I do all this in the little 'hovel'!!
We welcome volunteers from all over the world, mainly through WWOOF and HelpX throughout the year to assist in this venture, so we have to grow and process enough food to feed ourselves and these voluntary workers also! We have two hectares of woodland that provides all our firewood and some construction material, fenceposts etc. This is the work we are doing at present - when the snow clears!!

Mothers Day 1955 found us in Denver where Dad's mom, Nana, lived.
We went to the legendary Elitch Gardens, a time-honored amusement park. Dad knew it was a great place to take moms and kids because there were flowers for the moms and rides for the kids.
Here we see the family nicely posed for a Mother's day portrait. Problem is, two-year olds, four-year olds, and camera shy Nanas tend to turn away at the last second and you only find out after the film is developed.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, EVERYONE!!
Always born blind, hairless and pink, and nursed in the warm, dark corners. The mother often gathers straw or bits of foam to make a cosy layer for her babies.
Discovered a litter when the repairmen came to work on the engine of a long used car. Seven pups total. Other places house mouse is likely to raise babies include barns, stores and long used kitchen appliances especially the baking compartment of ovens.
Ooops I uploaded the wrong shot before I left for work this morning-this doesn't look like a swallow!
I wasn't really planning on posting this I only took this shot because I've never seen a lily in these shades before
oh well maybe you've never seen it either!
An old Chinese woman and her granddaughter sitting in the Beijing Subway.
Originally, this was meant to be a whole series but due to my limited time in China, I didn't manage to shoot it. I hope I can finish it next time I go there.
Two of UPs classy SD40N rebuilds bring the Y-SPMP Transfer over the Robert St lift bridge and towards East Mpls.
Minutes after this was taken, the second unit had issues. The transfer had to run over to the Belt Yard and get a third SD40N so they could make the grade and trip to East Mpls.
We saw loads of butterflies on our holiday in Greece, some (like this) we've never seen before.
More shots below - the last isn't a great shot but the only one that shows the inside of its wings.
The Goodyear blimp Wingfoot Two has landed at its base in Suffield Township, Ohio, and the ground crew is working to secure it. The blimp has just landed after a trip from Columbus, Ohio, where it had helped cover an Ohio State football game the night before. Note the duck paddling past in Wingfoot Lake and leaving a trail in its wake.
A shot I did for www.ThreeSixDownhill.com.
