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.

Two couples in love in Ghent (Belgium). The older couple in the back and the younger couple in front.
Just a house in the neighborhood we stayed in when we were in Catskill. Pentax 17, Harman Phoenix II, ECN-2 development.
Two faces on both sides of a piece of basswood. I got this wood for my b-day. Hoping it was really special I just started carving. I messed up while measuring, wanted to do one face but now I could fit in another face on the other side. The wood is ok too carve but not alot better then the chessnut I've been using. Until I finished the work with lineseed oil and suddenly all the grains in the wood showed up. Pretty happy with the end result!
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.
two routes between inner South London and the city have their stands round the back of Norton Folgate. The B7TL Gemini on the 42 is an exception for what is normally a single-decked route.
The city of Two Rivers, as seen from the Rogers Street Fishing Village (which as of last Saturday still has the Québecois flags out). Dominating the scene across the East Twin River is the massive Hamilton Manufacturing factory (now Thermo-Fisher Scientific), located in the center of town.

HAYNES (HAYNES APPERSON) ALBUM

With a badge that carried the slogan - Americas First Car, the Haynes Automobile Company can trace its car making history back to 1898 when the company, formerly known as Haynes-Apperson company was established in Kokomo, Indiana, by brothers Edgar Apperson, Elmer Apperson and Elwood Haynes. Elwood Haynes was a talented metallurgist who invented a very special stainless steel alloy called Stellite which is still used to this day on the space shuttle to this day, he approached the Apperson Brothers to build his first car. The cars were powered by 5 HP engines while the heavy parts were made of aluminium alloy.
In 1905 the Apperson brothers left the company to form Apperson Brothers Automobile Company. Elwood Haynes remained renaming the old company simply the Haynes Automobile Co. from 1914,
Haynes offered a Light Six at $1485. Their ads boasted that it was, - The result of 22 years successful experience in building motor Haynes also proclaimed it Americas greatest light six, and that it will travel 22 to 25 miles on one gallon of gas and has more than 1 horsepower to every 55 pounds of weight.
For 1916 Haynes introduced the twelve cylinder Light Twelve, sold alongside a refined Light Six in the guise of Models 36 and 37
1923 saw the introduction of the 57, with a 121 inch wheelbase in five-seat four-door sedan, three-seat coupelet, and two-seat roadster advertised as being complete with front and rear bumpers, six disc (as opposed to wire) wheels, wind wings, sun visors, artistically fashioned individual steps (for the running boards), and individual fenders
But the end was in sight, Haynes Automobiles was declared bankrupt in 1924 and went out of business in 1925.
Haynes was a relatively expensive make, film star Cleo Madison drove a Haynes Light Six as did composer Louis F. Gottschalk .
In 1915 a Haynes 50-60 Model Y Touring Car achieved notoriety when it was featured in what has been called the worlds oldest known pornographic film - A Free Ride

Karen and I have come to appreciate the special beauty and tranquility that a Japanese garden brings to us. We first were introduced to this type of garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Missouri.
On our recent outing to Como Park and Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota, we discovered, to our delight, that there was a Japanese garden that is part of the facility. After our tour of the zoo and the main parts of the conservatory, we made our way through a Bonsai collection to the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden.
It is a compact garden with ponds, stone bridges, stone lanterns, Koi fish, paths and lush greenery. Tucked into one corner of the garden is a tea house. They offer tea ceremony sittings a couple times a month, when the tea-master is in residence. We were given a special tour of the area surrounding the tea house and a primer on the ceremony by a very wonderful docent, Debbi.
Debbi was kind enough to point out the best views for taking in the garden, delighting in showing us the planned reflections and that the island in the pond is in the shape of a turtle. She also took this photograph, having placed us in this specific spot, in order to capture our reflection.
Kudos to the Como Park & Conservatory management and benefactors for keeping up such a delightful oasis of peace in the midst of the city. Thank you also to Debbi, for this wonderful memory of our tour.
I took this picture one day while casually walking by the East River. I didn't go there to shoot and was just taking the scenic way to a friend's apartment, but I guess I caught the bridges at the right time. Probably coincidence that it's NY Mets colors.

Paul McCoy Professor in Ceramics at Baylor University
www.baylor.edu/art/index.php?id=5308
Raised in Chicago’s south side, Paul McCoy began working in clay in 1964 under the direction of Daniel Edler at Scattergood Friends School, a boarding school in rural West Branch, Iowa. He received his undergraduate degree at Northern Illinois University in 1975 and taught ceramics in Chicago-area high schools for several years before moving to Texas to work in the oilfields. During this period, McCoy enrolled in evening ceramics courses at the University of Houston/Clear Lake, where he spent two years working under the supervision of Professor Nick de Vries, who McCoy credits as one of his most significant influences and mentors. McCoy received his M.F.A. in ceramics at the University of Iowa in 1985, moving to Waco, Texas in 1986 to direct the ceramics program at Baylor University, where he currently holds the position of Professor & University Ceramist-in-Residence.
McCoy’s creative endeavors embrace both functional and sculptural ceramics. His work has been exhibited, published, and collected at national and international levels for the past 21 years.

While walking in the local nature preserve, I saw a shadow from a bird flying overhead, and then another shadow. I thought it was the same bird, but then I saw these two Red-Tailed Hawks perched side by side.
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Guns,_Arizona
Two Guns is a ghost town in Coconino County, Arizona, United States.
Located on the east rim of Canyon Diablo approximately 30 mi (48 km) east of Flagstaff, Two Guns prospered as a tourist stop along Route 66.
Early history
Native artifacts found at Two Guns have been dated to between 1050 and 1600 AD.
As white settlers began to populate the area in the mid-19th century, Two Guns was recognized as an ideal place to cross Canyon Diablo, first by wagon, then later by vehicle.
Two Guns was the site of a mass murder of Apaches by their Navajo enemies in 1878. A group of Apaches had hid in a cave at Two Guns to avoid detection, but were discovered by the Navajos, who lit sagebrush fires at the cave's exit and shot any Apaches trying to escape. The fire asphyxiated 42 Apaches, after which they were stripped of their valuables. The murder site is referred to as the "death cave".
During the winter of 1879-80, Billy the Kid and his outlaw gang hid in the ruins of a stone house and corral on the west rim of Canyon Diablo, across from Two Guns.
In 1880, long before Two Guns was established as a settlement, the construction of the Santa Fe Railway was progressing across northern Arizona. At the location where the rail line crossed Canyon Diablo, about 3 mi (4.8 km) north of Two Guns, construction was delayed while a trestle was built. A settlement populated by male work crews was established near the construction site and was named Canyon Diablo, after the nearby canyon. The settlement "quickly became a wild and lawless place as drifters, gamblers, and outlaws made their way to town", Four men employed by the Hashknife Ranch robbed the train at Canyon Diablo in 1889, then fled on horseback with $100,000 in currency, 2,500 new silver dollars, $40,000 in gold coins, as well as silver watches, jewelry, and diamonds. A posse led by sheriff Buckey O'Neill pursued the bandits, but recovered less than $100 when the men were captured. Years later, after release from prison, one of the thieves disclosed that the stolen goods, along with their rifles, had been buried in the canyon rim near Two Guns. The location remains popular with treasure hunters.
The National Old Trails Highway (called the "Santa Fe Highway" in Arizona) was built in 1907 in Arizona, and loosely followed the railway, The highway crossed the dry river bed of Canyon Diablo at the Two Guns location, and zig-zagged up and down each embankment. In 1915, Canyon Diablo Bridge opened at the Two Guns crossing, and was used until 1938 when a new bridge was built nearby.
Settlement
The first settler at Two Guns was Ed Randolph, who built a store next to the death cave.
In 1922, Earle and Louise Cundiff purchased 320 acres (130 ha) of land from Randolph at this location for $1,000, and built a store, restaurant, and gasoline pumps.
Harry E. Miller leased a property from the Cundiffs in 1925 and began extensive construction. Calling himself "Chief Crazy Thunder", Miller wanted to capitalize on the beauty of Canyon Diablo and the flow of passing tourists. Along the canyon rim Miller erected a zoo with cages made of brick, mortar and chicken wire; his zoo animals included mountain lions, cougars, gila monsters, coral snakes, birds and a lynx. A restaurant and Indian gift shop were opened, and Miller cleaned out the death cave, selling any Apache skulls found inside as souvenirs.For a fee, visitors were led on a tour which began at a Hopi house Miller had built, where rolls of colored piki bread was made and sold. They then followed a paved path down the side of the canyon to a soft drink stand at the bottom. Next was a tour of the death cave, where Miller had installed electric lights, and fake ruins of cliff dwellers. Flamboyant signs were placed along the highway, and Miller named his establishment "Fort Two Guns" as an homage to silent movie actor William S. "Two Guns" Hart, with whom Miller claimed to have previously worked.
The Cundiffs applied for a post office under the name "Two Guns" in 1924, but it was refused. The post office was renamed "Canyon Lodge".
In 1925, "Rimmy" Jim Giddings opened a gas station and cafe at Two Guns called Rimmy Jim's. Another location burned down in 1969.
In 1926, the highway designation was changed to U.S. Route 66. That same year, Cundiff and Miller had a disagreement about the details of their lease, and Miller shot the unarmed Cundiff to death. He was later acquitted of the killing.
The interior of Miller's store burned in 1929, and soon after, Louise Cundiff built her own tourist store. The following year, Miller left the state. Cundiff remarried, and in 1934 opened the Two Guns Texaco service station along a new alignment of Route 66. Behind it they relocated the zoo (which closed prior to 1950).
In 1938, a new bridge across Canyon Diablo was built, and Route 66 began following Interstate 40 at the Two Guns location.
A more modern service station was built at Two Guns in 1963, and in the late 1960s a motel, western tavern, reptile exhibit, and new zoo were added. Later, a Shell service station was built and a KOA campground opened.
Decline
The service station burned in 1971, and Two Guns began to decline.
The ruins of many former structures remain, including the trading post, campground, old cottages, zoo, and burned-out service station.
In 1988, Canyon Diablo Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Sony A7 with Voigtlander Ultron 21/1.8 Aspherical (mounted) and Voigtlander Color Skopar 21/4P on the side. The one problem with the Color Skopar when used on the A7 is the magenta color cast the lens produces in the borders of the image (and sometimes almost half-way into the image). When I used the lens on the NEX6, it was easily corrected using cornerfix. On the A7, however, I have not been able to satisfactorily correct it with cornerfix or the flat-field plugin for Lightroom. It certainly doesn't help that the camera does not record the aperture in the EXIF data - information that would be useful when applying the correct correction profile in post processing.
The Ultron is one of two UWA lenses (the Leica Tri-Elmar (WATE) 16-18-21/4 is the other - but at $6K+ not really an option) that does not produce that magenta color cast. Of course, it is also 2 1/3 stop faster - even though there is some heavy vignetting wide open (but at f/4 it vignettes less than the 21/4P). The Ultron weighs three times as much, is three times larger and costs (almost) three times as much. The Ultron is almost as large and as heavy as the Leica Summicron-M 90/2!
Omaha Union Station (1931) was one of the first Art Deco train stations in the United States. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, the Station was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016 (the designation noted that the Station "is one of the most distinctive and complete examples of Art Deco architecture in the nation. . . [and] outstandingly expresses the style’s innovative and diverse surface ornamentation inspired by the machine age.") See here for more on the station's architecture and history.
Omaha Union Station closed for rail service in the 1970s when a new Amtrak station opened nearby. The Station now houses the Durham Museum. As noted on the museum's website, the Durham showcases everything from "permanent exhibits highlighting the history of Omaha and its surrounding regions, to impressive traveling exhibitions from our national partners such as the Smithsonian Institution, the National Archives, the Library of Congress and the Field Museum."
Sometimes I wish, that people around me could be a lot of things, but overall, there's one thing that I apreciate, honesty... there are a lot of two faced people out there and just I feel sad for them for not being brave enough to say things in my face... or anybody else's face... just be brave enough, face it and be honest... with me is that way or the highway...
