🍁🌳“Utsasquidi”🍁🌳
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
I wanted to give this tree in Cades Cove, Tennessee a name because whenever I tell someone about it and where it is, it is difficult. So, I gave it the name, Utsasquidi which in Cherokee means bent. Since I can't pronounce that, I will call it the UT tree.
I love Utsasquidi with its crooked arm that hangs near the ground. I changed the name to more represent its heritage. This photo was taken on October 17, 2023.

yes... it's a play on "On Golden Pond." This is the view from my front porch.
Flickr-friends: I've been super busy at the office and with my photography business. I don't often have time to linger in Flickr but I do check in every once in a while. I love seeing all your awesome photos though! Happy shooting everyone!
A beautiful, open park offering many play areas for children, making the Dumbarton-based Levengrove an ideal day out for the entire family. Stretching all the way to the shores of the Clyde, the park overlooks the nearby Dumbarton Rock and its resident Iron Age castle. Quoted from the Visit Scotland website.
An overnight dusting of snow had helped to lighten the scene at Taffs Well in January 1996, where BR Pacer 143 616 was recorded working the Table 130 Valley Lines 12:00 Treherbert to Barry Island Regional Railways service.

Cromwell and Clunes.
The central region of Otago New Zealand is an area of high mountains, river valleys and remoteness. The distance from the coast and the capital of Otago Dunedin was a long slow and difficult journey. Despite this gold was discovered in 1862 which set off a gold rush to Central Otago and emerging settlements like Cromwell, Clyde, Bannockburn, Bendigo etc. Cromwell rush began in 1862 which soon had 3,000 miners on site and gold mining continued until the 1950s but the main period of gold mining stopped around 1900s when mining by large companies with dredging ceased. The township was surveyed in 1863 at the junction of the Clutha and Kawarau rivers where are large plain offered fertile flat land for the town. The capital of Otago Dunedin was still a long way away until the railway was gradually pushed up river valleys through the mountains to reach Cromwell in 1921. The railway closed in 1976. About that time the district turned to fruit tree growing as the cold dry winters and hot dry summers of Cromwell were ideal for stone fruits especially apples, pears and peaches. The historic heart and business district of Cromwell remained a memorial to its busy past until the 1990s. Some years before a decision was made to dam the Clutha River and create Lake Dunstan which would submerge most of the old town centre. Sixty homes and 50 commercial businesses were affected. Most were moved higher up from the river but many were replaced with a new town centre. The 27 kilometre long lake started to fill from 1992. Local actions resulted in a number of the historic buildings being moved to a new street with a couple being partially covered by the new riverbank such as the old Athenaeum and the former stone school. Today Cromwell has a population of around 6,000 people.
The guy looked like he might sit there forever; guess he doesn't like snow.
My mini-theme for weeks 16 through 20 of Flickr Bingo 3 is "most interesting." On Flickr's weird interestingness scale, this is my highest ranking photo tagged with RAIN.
We had a drop of sunshine today, but having said that, this is an old photo! More sunshine forecast for a day or two so hopefully I'll be able to get something new :)
Penola.
Penola is centrally situated - being roughly 50km from Mt Gambier, Naracoorte, Millicent and Casterton and it is a district of pastoralists and swamps. The great pastoralists of the district prevented the growth of small-scale agriculture in the 19th century and the town population grew very slowly. The district known as Penola was first squatted on before 1840 by Solomon, Josiah and Thomas Austin at Yallum Park. The site was probably selected by their agent John Bowden. The first settlers, as opposed to squatters, were Scottish born Alexander Cameron and his wife Margaret, nee MacKillop, who in 1845 obtained an occupation licence to lease the land. The pastoralists had licenses and from 1851 formal leaseholds. At that time the proforma lease documents noted the natives had prerogatives to “full and free ingress to the springs and surface water thereon…and they may….use, occupy, dwell on and obtain food and water thereon….” These rights however were extinguished in the 1860s when land was surveyed and sold with freehold title. (Penola and Coonawarra from Foundation to Federation by Peter Rymill 2017, page 65/66.) But as a pioneer with a land license Alexander Cameron built the first house in Penola - Cameron Cottage in 1845 which is now behind the Catholic Church. Margaret’s niece Mary MacKillop lived with them in the cottage for some time as a governess to their children from 1860 to 1862. By the 1860s Cameron had an estate of around 50,000 freehold acres. Other settlers like the Gladstone’s and Duncan Cameron lived in the district in the 1840s.
In April 1850 Alexander Cameron obtained eighty acres of freehold land and established the private town of Panoola, later known as Penola. He set aside several blocks for the use of the community, including a market square and blocks for churches to be built on at a later stage. The plan for the town was drawn in 1858. Alexander Cameron was born in 1810 in Scotland and overlanded his first sheep to South Australia from NSW. In 1848 Duncan Cameron (no relation to Alexander Cameron) became the original licensee of the Royal Oak Hotel. He did a roaring trade during the early 1850s when thousands of men from Adelaide travelled to the Victorian goldfields via Penola. Adam Lindsay Gordon the writer became the police trooper in Penola from 1854-56. The Royal Oak Hotel was rebuilt in 1872. Apart from the two Cameron men the first residents included Christopher Sharam, a boot maker and his wife Ellen who had fifteen children. A post office was constructed in 1857 and in the early days religious services were held in the local courtroom with the Presbyterians being the first to make use of this facility. The Reverend Mark Dixon was the first Presbyterian clergyman from 1856 until 1864. The Catholics started with a wooden church in 1858. Their first resident priest was Father Powell who also had established a school in 1855 in Penola. Michael O'Grady had charge of 40 students in his private school. The best-known school opened in 1866 by the red haired Gaelic speaking Mary MacKillop, the co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Scottish born Mary lived 1842-1909. She was greatly assisted by Father Tenison Woods of Mt Gambier who encouraged her and had her take her vows to be a nun in 1867. Mary established her second school in Adelaide before setting up the order around Australia. By the time of her death in 1909 in Sydney she presided over 223 school and charitable institutions. She became the first Australian to be made a Catholic Saint in 2010. A new stone school room and residence was built in Penola in 1867 for Mary MacKillop and it still stands. Saint Mary MacKillop started teaching in this school room. A new stone Catholic Church, called St Joseph’s was completed in 1865 at a cost of £1,000. Most of this money had come from the wealthy Catholic Highland Scots of the district. The other buildings on this site include the later Catholic Church built in 1924 with its modern curved glass shrine to Saint Mary MacKillop. Behind the church is the old Convent built in 1872. Next to the old buildings is the modern 1998 Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre with the lake in front of it. It includes considerable information on Father Tension Woods too. The site also includes a replica of Alexander Cameron’s first wooden cottage.
The Church of England's Saint Mary's church was completed in 1873 and consecrated in 1887. George Dickson the son of the pioneer of Maaoupe station commission the stained glass window above the altar in memory of his parents after their deaths in the 1880s. Across the road from the Church is the Anglican Parish hall was built in simple Gothic style in 1899. Near the little park which was part of Alexander Cameron’s original town plan is the old Mechanics Institute building which is now the Information Centre. It was built in 1869 with classical Greek architectural features. Opposite it is the former Foresters Hall built in 1873. It is a small building with two rounded windows and a small pediment a cross the roof line. Next to the Riddoch Centre is the grand Presbyterian Church built in 1870. It has Gothic arches, buttresses and a fine bell tower which was added in 1906. The first government school was completed in 1879 but located a fair distance from the Main Street. Petticoat Lane, the oldest street of Penola, retains much historical charm. Red gum kerbing as well as rose and lavender plantings enhance the lane’s character. It is a State Heritage area. Back in the Main Street at an historic crossroad is the original Georgian style Post Office built in 1876 and across the road from it is the former single storey Italianate style Bank of South Australia constructed in 1884. On the other corner is the rebuilt Royal oak Hotel of 1873 and on the last corner is the gracious two storey former National Australian bank built in a Georgian style in 1868. Behind the Post Office towards the Catholic Church is the first telegraph station, a single storey structure erected in 1859. Further along this street is the former Methodist church erected in 1908 and it is now Piper’s Restaurant and next to it is the former offices of Cobb and Co coaches. This ticket booking office was built in 1857. Much later of course the railway replaced the need for the coaches. The railway line from Mt Gambier to Naracoorte and Bordertown was started in 1885 with John Riddoch turning the first sod of soil and it was completed in 1887 giving Penola a comfortable railway link to Adelaide. In the 1870s John Riddoch tried to convince parliament to build a railway from Beachport to Penola but that never occurred. The old railway station in the western side of town was built in 1887. This was probably a weatherboard station which was replaced with an Art Deco style railway station in 1909 with large arched windows. This SA Railways design was copied in Wallaroo, Moonta, Bordertown, Tailem Bend etc. At the northern exit of the town is the historic Bushman’s’ Inn. This fine two storey hotel was built in 1870 as a single storey hotel with the upper floor added later in the 1870s or 1880s. Mrs. Spillett opened it as excellent accommodation for travelers with good stables and plenty of chaff. Just north of the town is the Katnook Winery. The buildings there include the old shearing shed of John Riddoch’s which was built in 1867. The population of Penola in the 1891 census was 1,200 people. Today it has risen slightly to 1,600.
It's putting out lots of leaves, as is normal for a young tree like this, but I don't like those dark markings .. which appear to be something like rust, though rust doesn't go dark like this! At least it's not blight!
Anyway, I do hope that she recovers as apart from those dark markings she appears very healthy!
Walnut Anthracnose
"If your walnut tree's leaves develop greenish-black spots and then fall to the ground prematurely, then your walnut probably has a disease called walnut anthracnose. The spots first appear on the bottoms of leaves in late July or August. These spots then grow and move up the leaf as the leaf turns yellow and falls from the branch. In serious cases, the walnuts themselves may shrivel, or the nut inside may turn black and shriveled.
Like downy leaf spot, walnut anthracnose is most common during and after periods of humidity and high rainfall. Mild cases do not require treatment, but if your tree is losing a lot of leaves, there are a few steps you can follow to control the anthracnose"
Adored in Australia but a major pest in New Zealand. It was back in 1977 that I last saw a possum in our walnut tree.
This from Wikipedia:
European settlers aiming to establish a wild source for food and fibre and fur pelts for clothing introduced the common brushtail possum from Australia to New Zealand in the 1850s; by the 1980s the peak population had reached an estimated 60-70 million.[1] Through control measures, by 2009 the New Zealand population had been reduced to an estimated 30 million.
Because it’s summer and the memories are just waiting to happen.
