And so it begins... with just over 3 weeks to go the fever starts to grip the nation, early symptoms seem to just be affecting real fans but as time passes even those not interested will get caught up in the frenzy... though they may not hang bunting from their windows

the new COVID posters, the ever present nose sticking out of ill-fitting masks, the fear of the closeness...
My Unexpected Treasures set on Flickr begins with photos of an independent used book store called Book Garden that is filled with thousands of books, magazines and ephemera packed into an unassuming building along route 537 in Cream Ridge, New Jersey. The stores is well-organized and a fun place to spend some time searching. The owners have been in business over thirty-five years and have created a real gem.
As time goes by I hope to add images of old hardware, antique, and what-have-you stores that have been in existence for many years and have acquired an interesting patina and character.
Another raccoon in hog heaven from a few weeks ago. This tree is now completely devoid of crab apples. I'm going to miss seeing the little devils every few days.
Brand new Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan begins sea trials off Scotland.
Duncan, the Royal Navy’s sixth and final powerful new Type 45 Destroyer, has put to sea for the first time (August 31) for trials where a blend of Royal Navy, Ministry of Defence and BAE Systems personnel will put her through her paces.
Following her departure from BAE System’s Scotstoun shipyard in Glasgow, Duncan quickly set about testing her speed and manoeuvrability, which will see the 7500-tonne destroyer taken to over 30 knots and turning very tight figure-of-eights.
Duncan will also spend four weeks at sea trialling her power and propulsion systems as well as her highly capable weapons systems. A second period of sea trials, set to take place later in the year, will test Duncan’s combat systems and sensors in order to ensure she joins the other Type 45s already commissioned and based in Portsmouth, in pristine condition next year.
Captain Henry Duffy, Captain Surface Ships, said:, "This is a significant milestone in Duncan's programme. We wish her every success as we look forward to welcoming her to join the rest of her sister ships into the Portsmouth Flotilla next year.”

We took a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. A nice trip in a rotating tram car that rises to 8500 feet above the valley floor near the peak of San Jacinto. Definately an experience.
Was good to be back in schools after a bit of a quarantine, this time to see the youngest students in Des Moines begin preschool. These photos were taken at the Mitchell Early Education Center on the city's south side.
Stuffing, sweet potato cranberry casserole, baked veggies in a goat cheese cream sauce, and a pot of gravy. This made up only a third of the total dishes.
Apparently there was a small derailment this morning in New Ken on the AVR line. Not surprising considering little those tracks are use and how old they are. This guy was just hanging out until things get solved.
Usually, I'd shoot in B/W for something like this, but the AVR trains are so distinctive looking, it does them a disservice.

Where The Journey Begins

The purpose of bonfire nights and the similarities between firework designs deliver an overwhelming message to display fireworks at different locations across England.
The technology of long-time exposure captures the momentary and timescale that disappears and turns the now into our history, making it memorable, readable, and appreciated by the audience.
The beauty of fireworks flashes in front of the naked eyes for a momentary sensation. The sound of fireworks brings excitement, adding to the majestic notion of a large fireworks display.
The fireworks share temporary beauty, lighting up the sky at night, and illuminating the blackness with colours. The audience temporarily forgets the past and the future but concentrates on the moment of now, witnessing every second to come and pass, remembering and video-capturing the valuable seconds of fireworks that won't reappear again.
How many seconds of the colour of darkness do we choose to concentrate on and remember, how many seconds of beauty flash in front of us to remind ourselves of the beauty that may fade away if we have chosen to forget, leaving the sky in the darkness?
The technological advancement captures the moment of beauty which lasts forever in the imagery picture, each line of beauty represents the memory of time and seconds we have witnessed to excite our sensation from the now to the past before becoming the moment of history. The pictures illuminate the night with light and beauty to forever defect the darkness with colours and joy.
Student Orientation and Academic Registration kicked off at UCA on Thursday for several hundred new students. S.O.A.R. is a one-day program designed to familiarize new students (and parents) with the logistics of campus, and provide them with their first semester class schedule and additional information about UCA. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow incoming new students, professors in one’s area of study, and complete everything needed to begin the journey of a higher education.
