~Hedge, that divides the lovely
Garden, and myself from me,
Never in you so fair a rose I see
As she who is my lady,
Loving, sweet and holy:
Who as I stretch my hand to you
Presses it, so softly, too.~

Borders Buses No.12003 casts a long winter shadow as it turns off North Bridge nearing the end of service X95.

This border around my mother's house separates the bushes and trees that line the outside of the house from the front lawn. It started with a cutting from a neighbor over 40 years and quickly grew into a thick, lush border that needs little care. In fact, it needs to be controlled and cut back or it will take over. Until I looked it up, my mother wasn't even sure what it was.
"Pachysandra terminalis, the Japanese pachysandra, carpet box or Japanese spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the boxwood family Buxaceae, native to Japan, Korea, and China and introduced to eastern North America. When growing in a spreading mass of many plants, a dense cover is formed." -- en.wikipedia.org
It seems that almost every plant or flower I admire here in the NYC environs turns out to be native to eastern Asia. One example of how humans have altered the environment.

The courier company came to pick these up earlier this afternoon. Hope they will arrive safely at their destination.
I would usually prefer a thinner paper but finally decided to use 50x50cm Elephant Hide paper this time for (hopefully) sturdier and more 'robust' folds.
Together with the Rabbits & Butterflies in the next photo, they will be among the close to 400 origami models which will be on display at the Origami Universe (紙上奇蹟) exhibition at Chimei Museum (奇美博物館) in Tainan City, Taiwan, from 5 Oct 2016 till 30 May 2017.
Over 60 origami practitioners from more than 20 countries will be participating in this exhibition curated by Bernie Peyton and Uyen Nguyen. Ron & I would like to thank both of them and Chimei Museum for the opportunity to take part in this event. We very much appreciate the effort and time that they have put in to organise this huge exhibition.

At Big Bend National Park, Mexican Nationals cross the Rio Grande River to place trinkets and walking sticks along trails for hikers to purchase. Posted at trailheads are signs warning that to purchase such items is illegal and anything can be confiscated and fines imposed. But, the simple notes taped to collection jars asking for financial support are hard to ignore as one looks across the river into Mexico. As we stood overlooking the Rio Grande River, the owner of this boat waived and said hello...I put what little money I had in my pocket in a jar. I thought it interesting that a Mexican National would risk crossing the river into the United States to collect his money, that signs were posted telling us it was illegal to purchase things, but the jars full of money left sitting on rocks were protected by an unspoken honor code. Amazing really!

Borders Buses expects three of these ADL Enviro's for the X62 service, and they are expected to be to a very high spec, and even include bike racks. This was the original mock-up and looks really smart.
I liked the colours....This is one of the earliest fritillaries to emerge and can be found as early as April in woodland clearings or rough hillsides with bracken.
It flies close to the ground, stopping regularly to feed on spring flowers such as Bugle. It can be distinguished from the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary by the two large silver 'pearls' and row of seven outer 'pearls' on the underside hind wing, and also the red (as opposed to black) chevrons around the outer pearls and the small central spot on the hind wing.
