Le Mars, Iowa
Le Mars bills itself as "the ice cream capital of the world. The Wells family founded a milk company in 1913, and grew it into the third largest ice cream maker in the U.S. They make Blue Bunny ice cream, and have not only their headquarters, but huge manufacturing plants, in La Mars. It's kind of a company town.
In this center, they not only sell ice cream, but have a theater which tells about the founding and growth of the company. They also have some very clever interactive displays.
Just back from an African safari and I miss Africa already. This may be my favorite shot of the trip, a female leopard lying on a tree limb as only a cat can do, with just enough light to illuminate her, particularly her eyes. (Panthera pardus) (Sony a1M2, 400mm lens, f/2.8, ISO 640) (Taken in Zambia, South Luangwa National Park. Special Thanks to our wonderful C4 guide, Darren Donovan, Patrick our local guide, and my good friend, David M, and new friend, David H. We were staying at Kaingo Camp where we were well taken care of. )
I know Well Oiled has a completely different meaning to that of my caption but I couldn't resist it as a title when I saw all these cooking oil cans piled up and a bike parked up alongside.
Wells, Somerset - Claimed to be the oldest inhabited residential street in Europe going back to the 14th Century. Also been used as film sets according to t'internet.
Amazing what you find out after a visit !!
There are more than 4500 species of cockroach. Of those, only a couple dozen species are associated with people, and really only about four kinds are pests. Most just wander around in the forest, nibbling on dead leaves and fungus and stuff. Recycling, really. This is a non-pesky, well-armored, cool-looking one from Madagascar. I think it's kind of pretty, all shiny like it's made of patent-leather.(unknown sp., Andasibe, Madagascar)
Vicars' Close, in Wells, Somerset, England, is claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with its original buildings all surviving intact in Europe. John Julius Norwich calls it "that rarest of survivals, a planned street of the mid-14th century". It comprises numerous Grade 1 listed buildings, comprising 27 residences (originally 44), built for Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury, a chapel and library at the north end, and a hall at the south end, over an arched gate. It is connected at its southern end to the cathedral by way of a walkway over Chain Gate.

Having dropped off her charge of Mk3 HST coaches at Laira and overnighted, 37884 heads back to Leicester running just under two hours early as she joins the sea wall at Teignmouth.

It's only 3:30 in the afternoon but the sun sets quickly in the short days of late November especially in the mountains of southwest Virginia. Coal and coke loads separate trains U52 (left) and #794 (right) at Weller Yard. U52 is waiting on pushers so they can make the hill on their way to the Pokey mainline as #794 arrives with a train of empties bound for loading at Consol.
Selma, Ca.
A place I've photographed several times. I even have one of the owner standing in front of the business. He is now deceased.
This male giraffe looked so cute in this pic that it made me smile! He looks like he's being quite personable, but all he was really doing was chewing some leaves or something.
This shot was from my day at Brevard Zoo back in August. this shot is mine, though my brother got some pretty good ones, too. It has been adjusted in post processing to do some enhancelments, specifically, straightening the image, using an advanced HDR-like filter, a picture HDR filter, an Orton filter, and a dark brown haircolor tool over the pic to enhance tones, bringing up vibrance, and adjusting exposure settings. He almost does look like he's about to say something, doesn't he?!

For this weekβs Smile on Saturday group βMoney Boxβ theme.
I never gave it much thought before, but I suppose Iβm not much of an βexact changeβ person. I tend to accumulate a lot of coins in my handbag, almost always breaking dollar bills when paying with cash β unless just a penny or two can be retrieved quickly and help to get a full dollar back instead of excessive coins. (Paper money sure disappears fast this way ;-)
Through the years, I eventually filled a shoebox and large tin full of coins, and when I took them to the bank many years ago, I had enough to purchase my macro lens with the newly cashed-in wealth!
Iβm not sure where or when I got the larger piggy, which is now nearly full, and incredibly heavy, It weighs in at 20 lbs. on the bathroom scale! (LOL, more than my two cats combined! ;-) The little βflower powerβ elephant, which gets fed only pennies and is currently just lightly filled, is a treasured favorite from my childhood. I received it in a βSecret Santaβ exchange (which we used to call a βPollyannaβ) with my class in grade/ elementary school in the late 1960s. (Itβs marked Holiday Fair - Japan - 1968). Fortunately they both have plugs on the bottom for easy access to the money, no need for ever breaking the bankβ¦
Happy SoS!

Small fishing boats in the harbour at Wells-next-the-Sea in north Norfolk. The building with the gantry is a former granary dating from when Wells was a small port exporting grain. Now it has been converted into flats, including the gantry, and Wells harbour hosts inshore fishermen and pleasure craft.

Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
Shot at the Quinta da Regaleira Palace, Sintra
We walked around the gardens for hours, so many ancient structures hidden and harmonized with the wild nature, giant trees and twisted lakes. Truly a sight to be hold.
