Had things not panned out the way they did later on, this probably would've wound up as the main image for the York Park & Ride on Wikipedia. Finally, we're ready and waiting for the new bus of the day, sited on a little corner of Station Road that is really rather photogenic. This, here, is more of a test shot in preparation. I think a big part of me discounting this for what you'll soon be seeing is likely down to the relative dearth of route branding on the MetroDeckers' nearsides.
Setting course for the next photo, First York's Park & Ride-branded 39515, a 2020 Optare MetroDecker EV, is seen passing under the City Walls on Station Road on a White Line (don't do it) 3 to the Askham Bar Park & Ride site.
This Hippo had clearly been in the wars previously, with a Red Billed Oxpecker taking advantage of a free meal.

Hidcote Manor Garden is one of England's great gardens. It was the life's passion of one man, self-taught gardener Lawrence Johnston who created his 'garden of rooms' here.
The creator of Hidcote
Lawrence Johnston was born in Paris of American parents. He came to England to study at Cambridge University.
After graduating, he fought for the British Army. He was so badly wounded in the First World War that he was laid out for burial. His colleagues realised that he was still alive only after he moved slightly.
In 1907, Johnston's mother, Mrs Gertrude Winthrop, bought the Hidcote Manor Estate. Johnston came to live at Hidcote and soon took to gardening.
Developing a masterpiece
Johnston spent 41 years creating what would become one of England's most influential 20th-century gardens. He began work in 1907, becoming interested in making a garden out of the fields surrounding the house.
The garden was developed in the fashionable Arts & Crafts style: a series of outdoor 'rooms' offering surprises and discoveries at each turn.
By the 1920s, the transformation was well under way. Johnston employed 12 full-time gardeners to help shape his 10-acre creation. He always took advice and read extensively on the work of eminent gardeners, such as Gertrude Jekyll.
'A garden of rooms'
Johnston designed Hidcote as a series of outdoor 'rooms', which combine sensuous masses of colour with traditional garden crafts such as topiary. Each room has its own distinct atmosphere and character.
The hedges that divide the rooms sprung up due to the plot's exposed aspect. Johnston planted hedges of holly, beech, hornbeam and yew for shelter and structure.
Exotic plants
As well as a gardener, Lawrence Johnston was an accomplished plantsman. The range of plants he used was huge.
In a never-ending quest, he secured rare and exotic species by sponsoring and taking part in plant hunting expeditions. Trips took him to the Alps, Kenya and South Africa. He also plant-swapped with the Australians and the Japanese.
The expeditions introduced over 40 new plants to cultivation in the UK, many of which bear Johnston's name. He was awarded three Awards of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for his plant hunting achievements.
The National Trust learns to garden
In 1948, Lawrence Johnston retired to Serre de la Madone, his home on the French Riviera where he had created another spectacular garden.
Hidcote Manor Garden came to the National Trust, the first property acquired specifically for the garden.
While carrying forward the spirit of Lawrence Johnston, Hidcote has changed over time since the 1930s. Lack of funding has led to areas of the garden becoming overgrown and many of Johnston's tender plants being replaced.

Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
I'm losing my best friend.
I can see a thousand things I've done wrong, in retrospect. It's always too late to fix, of course, in these instances.
I never knew this would happen, never saw things a certain way, maybe took it all for granted and figured true friendship always prevails.
Maybe I misread, or maybe I ignored.
I'm not stupid, or shallow, or oblivious.
I'm rarely shocked by things....but this week has been a chain of shocking revelations and uncomfortable realizations within myself, about myself.
I'm far from perfect, always have been. Maybe I'm farther than I ever thought. After all.
I'm losing my best friend.
From the series "Secret life of the trees".
Created after very last 5 days in Canada...
Who were the Druids? Popular folklore tells us they were ancient Celtic wise men. They wore long robes and had long, flowing beards. Merlin, the famous magician of King Arthur's court, was reputedly a Druid. They are credited with having built Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments throughout Great Britain and Europe.
Other sources tell us Druids were men and women who were really into trees. Their ceremonies were conducted in the open air, often in oak groves. The word Druid is apparently derived from the ancient Celtic words for oak and truth--dru and druidh. Other trees were also very important to them, including yew, hazel, walnut, willow, rowan, ash and birch. Tree symbolism was used in their religious and philosophical teachings, and in their calendar and system of writing, called Ogham.
Druids also believed that trees are like a humans. They deliver a babies, they grow, sometimes they get an illness, they fight, and they die...

Unexpected wounds 2018
People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal histories, diagrams of all of their old wounds. Most of our old wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them, don’t.
Some wounds, we carry with us everywhere… and though the cut is long gone, the pain still lingers.

Pierre-Etienne Monnot restored this 1st Century AD Roman copy of Myron's Discobolus as a Wounded Gladiator. Asides from the torso most of the present work is by Monnot. Broad liberties of interpretation were accepted during this period of Baroque restorations. It was donated in the 1730s by Pope Clement XII to the Capitoline Museums.

This baboon mother and her cub stayed aside from all the other baboons and had deep cuts in the face. Probably the others did not accept her. Zoo in Augsburg
When we were checking into a guest house in Sanzhi, New Taipei City, I went for a quick snoop around the garden. As I neared a pond, I heard a frog bleating and realised there was probably a snake hunting in there somewhere. A checkered keelback had a Gunther's frog (Sylvirana guentheri) by the rear end and was trying to subdue it, although the frog looked much bigger than the snakes mouth. I ran off and grabbed my camera, but as soon as i pointed it at the snake, it released the frog and shot off across the pond, leaving the victim with a very sore backside.

This common dolphin was injured, but those five wounds are oddly different from each other. They don't seem to have been made by a propeller.
They don't seem to be the result of a pseudorca or shark attack either because they don't look like bite marks.
This leaves little room for other explanations. Maybe they are of human origin.

Strobist Info - After screwing around for far too long with multiple setups and multiple SB600, I went really simple. One SB600 through Honl grid-spot directly above at 1/13th power. Trust me..... trying to light a glass sphere is one of the most difficult things I've ever attempted.
Based on the painting of the same name by Hugo Simberg.
I finally found a good/free screen capture program, so I have a speed edit of this! Watch here!

This egret is sporting a wound to its right leg. It was very cooperative today giving lots of close flybys. It's nice to get a shot close enough that you don't have to crop. (and you didn't clip the wings)
