No claim is made of all being accurate, I do make an effort to be as factual as possible when posting. Some duplication of type or variety may occur. I try not to double post items.

From Nov 14-18, 2016, the UFV Geography department ran a series of events on campus, which included hands-on activities on the green, including a GPS treasure hunt, weather know-how, water quality measurements, plant identification, soil analysis, and more.
From time to time I get given or shared information of stuff to see, mostly orchids, and sometimes it takes some time to act on said information.
A couple of years ago, I was made aware that a certain site was the only known UK and Ireland location for a hybrid between the Chalk Fragrant and the Southern Marsh.
As the season winds down until later this month when the Marsh helleborines emerge, after the gym I thought we would go to investigate.
So, the alarm was set for six, though we were both up and about at twenty past five. The cats are tested, jabbed and fed. Coffee made and drunk.
A lazy, if early start.
We leave at ten to seven, laden with coffee in flasks and two pain au raisins from the market in Sandwich, and drove to Whitfield.
We arrive as the doors swung open, so up the stairs and on the bike, where I listen to The Bugle (Hello, Buglers!) while my fat hairy legs go round and round and round.
I am going to mention the site where this hybrid was, because there are thousands of orchids out there at the moment, and if you can find it among the other spikes, then well done you.
We leave Whitfield along the A2, past trucks and slow moving cars until we turn off to go through Bridge.
Bridge was quiet, but the old high road is clogged with parked cars, but easy to negotiate at eight in the morning.
We arrive at the car park, and sat on the tailgate to eat the pain and drink our coffee, before walking down the long track.
Bonsai Bank, for it was there we were heading, is popular at the end of April and through May when there are Lady Orchids, Duke of Burgundy and White-spotted sable moths to be seen. In the middle of June and later, just dogwalkers and the freaks like me, really.
Disappointed not to see more flowers down the sides of the track, so no butterflies seen, just a single Red admiral near the car park that lazily fluttered off.
As we walked the final climb to the reserves entrance, dozens of Common spotted orchids were seen, on both sides. Each was inspected for any unusual features.
None found.
Down the steps and into the reserve, and along the top path there were dozens, nay hundreds more CSOs and a few Chalk fragrants.
Each Chalk fragrant, doubly so the larger spikes, had to be inspected for spotted leaves and patterns on the flower lips.
It was slow going, and as we went further there were more and more orchids, with them stretching out of sight up the bank towards the track.
I check as many as I can, and find nothing obviously hybriddy.
What are we looking for? Asked Jools.
A good question, and one that deserved an answer: but how do you describe something you've never seen?
We had been in the reserve an hour now, and with numbers of orchids climbing higher and their density increased, I knew I would have to just accept there were too many spikes to check.
I still looked at spikes of Chalk fragrants, but not as closely, and all the time nothing out of the ordinary.
I then spotted something unusual.
A small spike, Chalk Fragrant colour, mostly, but with raspberry ripple coloured markings.
How I saw it among the thousands of other spikes is a mystery, but then I guess I know when I see something different.
I get down to look, and it is a fine intergeneric hybrid, one half for sure being Chalk fragrant, but was the other half Southern Marsh or Common spotted.
When compared to the ones I saw last year at Bredhurst, this was bolder marked and the leaves unspotted. Not conclusive, but I am thinking more of an SMO, even if I didn't see any on site.
I was laying down when a lady and her dog walked by. Oh, she exclaimed, what have you found? Anything exciting?
Clair, for that was her name, lived on Pennypot Lane, and grew up in the area too, and she had been wanting to meet an orchidist to identify what she sees every day.
I explained to her that this was a hybrid, an inter-species one from two different orchid families, and was probably the only such plant in the UK and Ireland.
Except the smaller spike beside it!
She was thrilled, as she was when I ID'd the other orchids for her too.
We were done.
We carried on down the lower path, and back to the entrance, before tackling the long slog back to the car.
I was prepared, very much, not to complete the quest, just happy with a walk in the woods in high summer. But against the odds, the quest was complete, and I had the shots.
And as we neared the car, I did my 13,000th step.
We drove home, back along leafy lanes, with sunshine casting dappled shadows on the patches of the roadway, which was more obvious than the road's original tarmac.
Back onto the A2, then cruise to Whitfield, onto the duel carriageway past Tesco and to home.
Where it was time for a brew and to put Huey on the radio once more. He'd been on air an hour already, but we don't think he minded.
Afternoon lunch/dinner was caprese with warmed up chorizo bread bought from the market, and the best part of a bottle of red. Which went down well.
At six there was football: Germany v Curacao, and despite what the 7-1 scoreline might say, Germany had a game on their hands until the second half. The first 7-1 finals victory since Germany beat Brasil in Brasil in 2014.
That was followed by Netherlands v Japan, which was another great game, but I was tired, so bailed at half time so missed Japan coming from behind twice to draw 2-2.

Where did this tent come from?
This series of photos was taken at the Minnesota Zoo during Bear awareness week. They put food in the tent, but the bear's wouldn't go near it until the tent blew down.
I was out with the American Lung Association today doing photographs at a Clean Air Act conference and then taking photos of folks working for them and promoting the Act around the University of Pittsburgh.
Social media use is not directly associated with stress, but for women, social media use can still lead to higher levels of stress due to awareness of distressing events.

This week is Native Awareness Week in Canada... Irene (pictured here) helped to coordinate some activities over the past weekend at Heritage Park as part of the activities here in Calgary... There were two large teepees alongside the replica Hudson's Bay Fort at the park, and Irene was the official tour guide of the teepees... A candid portrait of her with the replica fort in behind, I almost wish now I had somehow framed the teepees instead but too late for that now... *shrugs*
A traffic awareness drive was observed by Udgam School from November 6th to 20th. It began with taking the Preschool students for a visit to Traffic Park where they learnt all the rules and regulations related to traffic and also rode bicycles in keeping with the rules and signals.
The senior school students took this campaign to a different level by involving common public in the drive. Students of Class 10 formed a human chain and carried placards and chanted slogans that were related to traffic awareness. They stopped cars on the road in front of the Thaltej School and spoke to people about traffic rules and regulations which even encompassed ‘misuse of mobile phones during driving’, ‘lack of safety belts’, ’not wearing helmets’ and other issues. They even took a pledge to abide by traffic rules and create traffic awareness. In addition students ofClass 9 and 11 made powerpoint presentations and demonstrated to other classes about the importance of following traffic rules.
सत फाउंडेशन के सोजन्य से आज दिनाक 01 /03/2015 को M.D.D बाल भवन (अनाथ आश्रम ) फूसगढ़ (करनाल ) में होली पवित्र पर्व पर जागरूकता कार्यंकर्म किया गया जिसमे मुख्य अतिथि के रूप में श्री अमरेन्द्र सिंह ओ. अस. डी. to मुख्यामंत्री हरियाणा व श्री शेर सिंह जी जेल सुपरिटेंडेंट करनाल व सत फाउंडेशन के चेयरमैन सतेन्द्र कुमार ,ईश्वर सिंह,सुमेर चन्द , डायरेक्टर मनोज कुमार व दीपक कुमार व सेक्रटरी भविष्य साहनी, नरेन्द्र कुमार, विरेन्दर,अनिल , हँस कुमार, व M.D.D बाल भवन (अनाथ आश्रम ) के चेयरमैन पी. आर .नाथ व सभी बच्चे और सभी टीम मेम्बर व सभी गणमान्य व्यक्तियों ने मिलकर होली के पवित्र पर्व पर जागरूकता कार्यंकर्म में भाग लिया. होली पर्व को मनाने का मुख्य उद्देश्य मानव कल्याण ही है होली पर्व के पीछे तमाम धार्मिक मान्यताएं, परम्पराएं और ऐतिहासिक घटनाएं छुपी हुई हैं पर अंतत: इस पर्व का मुख्य उद्देश्य मानव–कल्याण ही है। लोकसंगीत, नृत्य, नाट्य, लोककथाओं, क़िस्से–कहानियों और यहाँ तक कि मुहावरों में भी होली के पीछे छिपे संस्कारों, मान्यताओं व दिलचस्प पहलुओं की झलक मिलती है। होली को आपसी प्रेम एवं एकता का प्रतीक माना जाता है। होली हमें सभी मतभेदों को भुलाकर एक–दूसरे को गले लगाने की प्रेरणा प्रदान करती है। इसके साथ ही रंगो का त्यौहार होने के कारण भी होली हमें प्रसन्न रहने की प्रेरणा देती है इसलिए इस पवित्र पर्व के अवसर पर हमें ईर्ष्या, द्वेष, कलह आदि बुराइयों को दूर भगाना चाहिए। वास्तव में हमारे द्वारा होली का त्यौहार मनाना तभी सार्थक होगा जब हम इसके वास्तविक महत्व को समझकर उसके अनुसार आचरण करें। इसलिए वर्तमान परिवेश में जरूरत है कि इस पवित्र त्यौहार पर आडम्बर की बजाय इसके पीछे छुपे हुए संस्कारों और जीवन मूल्यों को अहमियत दी जाए तभी व्यक्ति, परिवार, समाज और राष्ट्र सभी का कल्याण होगा।
