#AbFav_MY_THEMES_MUSHROOMS 💖
Mushrooms are often associated with Autumn, but when the weather is 'damp', I use them all year round.
CHESTNUT MUSHROOMS...
The chestnut or cremini mushroom is closely related to the white mushroom and is similar in size and shape.
The difference is its brown colour and nutty flavour.
In addition, chestnut mushrooms have a lower water content, so they shrink less when cooked.
The taste of the chestnut mushrooms is intense, strong and highly flavoured and their texture is similar to meat.
The chestnut mushrooms are available all year long and they can also be refrigerated for longer periods of time.
Edible mushrooms.
They are the fleshy and edible fruit bodies of several species of macrofungi (fungi which bear fruiting structures that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye).
They can appear either below ground (hypogeous) or above ground (epigeous) where they may be picked by hand.
Whatever, they enhance many a dish and we love them!
Mushrooms are rich in the B vitamins and D: riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid.
The combination helps protect heart health. Riboflavin is good for red blood cells.
Niacin is good for the digestive system and for maintaining healthy skin.
With love to you and thank you for the good wishes, M, (* _ *)

This sign greets people who go to the rodeo at Laketown, Utah. Rodeo season is over now and I was able to wander around the quiet arena with no fear of bulls or broncs. HSS.
I LOVED Middleburgh, Holland (Zeeland). It was such a quaint and very clean little village. The Canal was right on the edge of town, so could just walk off our boat and explore.
Nimm jede Stunde des Glücks, die dir geschenkt wir, dankbar an und schieb den süßen Genuss nicht aufs nächste Jahr.

We had these at my in laws on Father's day, delicious!
Happy Summer everyone!
I miei migliori auguri di un Buon Anno 2008 - My best whishes of Happy New Year 2008
This was at the doorstep to the road that leads to the Grand Canyon itself. After the entrance gate there was a small amount of snow here and there. I thought to myself, "didn't I leave this stuff back home?" I am sure the snow was in part due to the elevation and a sign close by read, "Elevation 7777". That's pretty precise.
The roads were clear but it was piled high on the shoulder. This is not a lake but rather the melted snow that had not yet met with the evaporation that happens in Spring.
May your garden be filled with beautiful, colorful, interesting and fragrant flowers this spring! Have a great day, my dear Flickr friends!

I've featured some stunning sunny images of Whittier in the past, but that is not typical....far from it actually. In fact, Whittier's whole reason for existence is largely thanks to it's abominable weather. The town averages 211 days a year where rain or snow falls, with an average of 154 inches of rain and 249 inches of snow annually!
Thanks to this terrible weather that would protect the area from aerial attack on most days, the US Army chose this site at the head of Passage Canal off Prince William Sound as the ideal location for a new port. With significantly smaller tides (12 ft range vs 39 ft in Anchorage) and ice free year round it was exactly what the Army was looking for. In addition it was 60 miles closer to Anchorage than the traditional railroad terminus of Seward and avoided the steep grades and vulnerable trestles over Grandview Summit. Lastly, it would be protected from overland attack by the vast coastal mountains with the only access to the new base afforded via a 2 1/2 mile long rail tunnel that would be easy to guard and secure. For all those reasons construction of the new railhead and Army port was begun in November 1941 only a month before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor thrusting the US into war. The two tunnels were completed with the arrival of the first train to Whittier on June 1, 1943.
They've been rolling ever since and the weather hasn't gotten any better!
Here is train 120S with a long string of empty flats behind GP40-2s 3003 and 3012 (both bought new for the railroad in 1975 and 1978 respectively) emerging from the 2 1/2 mile long Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel at MP F2.6 on the Whittier Brianch. In less than two miles they will enter the Whittier yard where the train will be cut up and the flats spotted for loading with contqiners that have arrived on the weekly AML barge from Seattle. If you want to see this same spot on a far rarer nice day check out this shot: flic.kr/p/2iRtn7h
3003 wears it's as delivered black and gold scheme, one of three presently remaining like this of 11 delivered this way (the first two orders). 3012 was part of the four unit third order from EMD and was actually delivered in the 'Alaska Bold' scheme with a US DOT nose herald. It was the last GP40-2 in that scheme when repainted into the current modern image in 2014.
