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.

[ÈNG] Doñana's National park (Spain), beach ecosystem, Doñana's National Park includes five different ecosystems: Beaches, Dunes, Border, Marsh and Forest. The beach is one of the wider virgin coasts of Europe, with about 35km between the town of Matalascañas (Huelva) and the mouth of the Guadalquivir river. The beaches of Doñana represent an intense dynamism and change their profile constantly due to the sea regressions through the centuries. Southwestern winds cause the continuous transport of sands over the beaches of the National Park, moved afterwards to the inside forming the trains of mobile dunes. On the beach, shelter of thousands of coastal birds, the remains of marine species such as crustaceans and fish accumulate, and often it is possible to find cetaceans and marine turtles.

[ESP] El Parque Nacional de Doñana incluye cinco ecosistemas distintos: Playas, Dunas, Vera, Marisma y Bosque. La playa constituye una de las costas vírgenes más amplias de Europa, con unos 35 Km. entre Matalascañas (Huelva) y la desembocadura del río Guadalquivir, y presentan un intenso dinamismo, modificándose constantemente su perfil debido a las progresiones y regresiones marinas en el transcurso de los siglos. Los vientos de componente SW originan el transporte incesante de arenas sobre las playas del Parque Nacional, trasladadas posteriormente al interior formando trenes de dunas móviles. Sobre la playa, refugio de miles de aves costeras, se acumulan restos de especies marinas como crustáceos y peces, y es frecuente encontrar cetáceos y tortugas marinas. (www.donanavisitas.es)

A second shot of BU74 YSA, the most recent MCV eVoRa-bodied Volvo B8RLE to be delivered to Richards Bros, taking the total to seven.
She has replaced Optare Versa RB59 BUS on Service 460 (Cardigan-Newcastle Emlyn-Cynwyl Efled-Carmarthen). This is operated under contract to Carmarthenshire County Council and is approximately hourly on Weekdays, being a joint operation between Richards Bros (two vehicles) and Morris Travel (one vehicle). Richards' other vehicle is usually eVoRa RB72 BUS and Morris allocates a 59-plate long Optare Solo.
The bridge on the A484 that straddles the River Teifi in Cenarth forms the border between Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, and this is where she is captured in December 2024, recreating a shot of the Versa that I took in September 2012.

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.
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.
