I was really surprised at the gardens and the beauty for this time of year.
Pineland Farms - the gardens were constructed in 2001.
A professionally designed garden created and maintained for the public to enjoy and learn. The Garden, Lilac Garden and Annual Displays around Campus and the Great Lawn are available free for all to enjoy from 8 am until dusk, spring, summer & fall.
The 1-acre flower garden is a certified Monarch Waystation? Monarch Waystation’s are habitats that provide space, sunshine, shelter, nectar plants, milkweeds, and a sustainable management plan without the use of insecticides. Pollinators of all kinds including butterflies, bees, hummingbird moths and even hummingbirds benefit from this kind of habitat.
Highlights include more than 130 varieties of perennials, 6,000 flowering annuals, five different types of blueberry bushes, 20 apple trees, espaliered apple trees and an ornamental conifer bed.
The one-acre perennial, herb and vegetable Garden at Pineland Farms is a wonderful place to stroll along a quarter-mile of paved walkways, picnic on the lawn in the shade of the apple tree, or simply sit on the Adirondack swing and enjoy the fragrant air.

Sometimes when the sun goes down it comes back again. But it doesn’t come back all the way.
Adams Ranger Station. Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho.
The busy trade routes of Kaliphlin are often following paths which pass by sources of water at decent intervals. Many of these wells are protected by fortified way stations or watchtowers. Sometimes, like here along the Oil Road, the tower also contains some rooms for travelers and shade for their camels to recuperate before continuing on the road.
From here to there
with a purity in the air,
This open-air waystation
allows a moment of quiet respite.
When time to go
most travelers move slow,
As this vaulted monument
brings awe, architectural delight.

Denver & Rio Grande Western K-36 Locomotive #484 sets out from the lonely waystation at Osier, CO with a mixed freight, headed for its next stop at Sublette, NM, some 11 miles east of here. This freight, ultimately destined for Alamosa, has several loads of cross ties on the head end that will be dropped off on the siding at Sublette for the section crew that is based there. The train is picture here at about Milepost 317.4.

What with Daylight Savings Time being over and the days getting shorter, you're gonna be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing from me. It's dark when I go to work now. It's stays dark the whole time I"m there.
Marsh milkweed is said to be the monarchs' favorite for laying eggs, so I wasn't surprised to find this caterpillar on one. But it wasn't till I saw this photo that I noticed what appears to be an egg on the underside of one of the leaves.

This weekend the Los Angeles Environmental Education Fair was held at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. The 'Wildlife Waystation" was there with "Tumbleeweed" the Great Horned Owl ! see wildlifewaystation.org/animals/species/owl-great-horned
I took the opportunity of taking TWO "selfies" simultaneously - reflected in "Tumbleweed's" eyes !!

I raise butterflies and moths as a hobby. I raised them from eggs last year and they overwintered in their containers in my shed.

On a gloomy, rainy afternoon in September, the White Pass & Yukon Route's Mikado #73 rolls onto the station platform at Bennett, BC for a station stop and a break for her passengers on the long ride from Carcross, YT to Skagway, AK. The station platform looks deserted today and that's pretty much the way it always looks. Located at Milepost 40.6, Bennett was an important waypoint on the WP&YR in the early, gold-rush years and a little town actually sprang up here. But by the time the railroad reached Caribou Crossing (known as Carcross, YT today), things began to die here. Today, the only vestige of the old town is the steeple of an abandoned church, and Bennett is only reachable by the railroad or hiking the Chilkoot Trail.
The large station building pictured here may look excessive for a waystation in the middle of nowhere. This structure was a large dining hall, which the railroad initially maintained for Section Crews, Train Crews and Passengers. The so-called "Eating House" has even been used in the tourist era in a similar fashion to the dining hall maintained by the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Colorado, but in recent years, the practice has been discontinued. Trains headed to and from Carcross still stop here, but just to give the passengers a chance to use the facilities and stretch their legs.
This image was captured during a September 2025 photo shoot on the White Pass & Yukon Route, which featured the last remaining, operable steam locomotive on the line, that being the Baldwin #73, pictured here.
A memorial at the National Cemetery in Theresienstadt (Terezin); it contains 2,386 individual graves and several mass graves
.
Theresienstadt is a town with a former military fortress that became the site of a Nazi concentration camp and ghetto. Some elderly and prominent Jews were held here as propaganda to mislead from the existence of the death camps of the 'Final Solution'. Many died here because of the deliberately harsh conditions and for many others it was a waystation before the extermination camps.
Terezin; July 2003
Didyma (/ˈdɪdɪmə/; Ancient Greek: Δίδυμα) was an ancient Greek sanctuary on the coast of Ionia in the domain of the famous city of Miletus. Apollo was the main deity of the sanctuary of Didyma, also called Didymaion. But it was home to both of the temples dedicated to the twins Apollo and Artemis. Other deities were also honoured within the sanctuary. The Didymaion was well renowned in antiquity because of its famed oracle. This oracle of Apollo was situated within what was, and is, one of the world's greatest temples to Apollo. The remains of this Hellenistic temple belong to the best preserved temples of classical antiquity. Besides this temple other buildings existed within the sanctuary which have been rediscovered recently; a Greek theatre and the foundations of the above-mentioned Hellenistic temple of Artemis, to name but two.
The ruins of Didyma are located a short distance to the northwest of modern Didim in Aydın Province, Turkey, whose name is derived from the ruins. It sits on a headland that in antiquity formed the Milesian Peninsula. Didyma was the largest and most significant sanctuary on the territory of the great classical city Miletus. The natural connection between Miletus and Didyma was by way of ship. But during antiquity the sediments from the Meander River silted up the harbour of Miletus. A slow process which eventually meant that the nearby Latmian Gulf developed from a bay into a lake (today Bafa Gölü).[2]
The linear distance between Miletus and Didyma measures some 16 km. As well as the simple footway there also existed a Sacred Way between the city and its sanctuary which measured some 20 km in distance. This Sacred Way, built in the 6th century BC, was used for festival processions.[3] It touched the harbour of Didyma, situated 3 km northwest of the sanctuary called Panormos[4] (today Mavişehir). Along this route were ritual waystations, and statues of noblemen and noblewomen, as well as animal and mythological beast figures. Some of these statues, dating to the 6th century BC, are now in the British Museum (Room 13), excavated by the British archaeologist Charles Thomas Newton in the 19th century...Wikipedia
Old Bent's Fort was located on the Santa Fe Trail and active during the 1830s and 1840s. It served as a trading post, way station, and eventually a military post during the Mexican War. It was also a meeting and cultural exchange point for American, Mexican, and Native American cultures.
I stopped at the Butterfly Garden at KU last evening after work to get a butterfly fix. I was surprised to see Monarchs still in this part of the country this far into October. I was able to capture two in this shot as they feasted on the Butterfly Bush. In Lawrence, KS.
I found this new foliage growth on a Joe-Pye Weed plant quite fascinating. I also had to question why I've never noticed this spiral type growth before. At the Butterfly Garden on KU's West Campus. For Totally Texture Tuesday.

A good night at the Butterfly Garden when I stopped there while on a bike ride. All sorts of things flitting around from plant to plant including some Hummingbird Moths and Butterflies. When this Skimmer landed on this branch and I saw the shadow on the net type material that covers the greenhouse, I got pretty excited. At the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.
A post for Tree-mendous Tuesday!
While on a bike ride this evening, I stopped at the Butterfly Garden. I was hanging around this Birch tree trying to get a photograph of a Robin and noticed this lovely peeling bark.
