No self respecting 55 year old should be seen in a dress like this. Fortunately, I have very little self respect. I blame the wonderful Cindy for egging me on.

Saint Nectan's Glen Waterfall 3.
Saint Nectan's Glen is an area of woodland in Trethevy near Tintagel, north Cornwall stretching for around one mile along both banks of the Trevillet River. The glen's most prominent feature is St Nectan's Kieve, a spectacular sixty-foot waterfall through a hole in the rocks. The site attracts tourists who believe it to be "one of the UK's most spiritual sites," and tie or place ribbons, crystals, photographs, small piles of flat stones and other materials near the waterfall.
St Nectan’s Glen is an area of outstanding natural beauty with paths that lead to the waterfalls and hermitage, through an ancient woodland with ivy clad trees and along the banks of the River Trevillet, as it sparkles and gurgles busily on its journey to the sea.
A place where animals and birds play amid a mysticism of fairies and piskies, serenaded by the wonderful sound of bird song. The area has been appointed a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to rare specimens of plants.

A model posed in the garden of Kinkakuji Shrine (Golden Pavilion). After I took this photo, someone told me she wasn't a maiko (a young geisha-in-training), but just a young woman posing in traditional formal Japanese wear for a commercial.

The Inn at the Pier in Pismo Beach has an old-fashioned wooden look, but at street level it has a nice looking stone wall, as seen here, seemingly without cement between the flat bricks, because it is actually just a thin layer of stone cladding in front of cinder blocks. I assume that the “wood” above it is actually vinyl cladding...
Have you ever put on an old jacket and discovered money in the pocket? It's a lovely feeling - and the great thing is it doesn't really matter how much it is - it's just a lovely and unexpected surprise.
Last night I discovered this shot, taken 30 minutes before I posted this one. It's of the stainless steel clad cafe in Reigate's Priory Park. The other shot reflects trees in the sunset; this one reveals the playground in all its colour. And I'd completely forgotten about it. A nice surprise...
Update: Surprises aren't always nice.... By an amazing coincidence, as this shot was being uploaded I got an email from a contact to draw my attention to a site called polyvore that's pinched some of my pictures. Take a look in case any of yours are there. And then you can find some advice here
Part of the reflections and ministract sets.
The Hungarian pavilion which was next to the UK one at Expo Milano 2015. When I visited it in May, there wasn't much inside except for a big hall with a grand piano (perhaps for recitals of music by Liszt) and many framed photographs on the walls.
A deserted barn now clad in tin as if it was in the land of Oz with Dorothy, sits surrounded by a fence with missing boards. The barn is pock-marked with broken windows and a perpetual open door that once welcomed milk-laden cows into ready stanchions. The soft glow from the dying rays of another Minnesota summer day gently invites reflections on a life long ago.
As dusk marked the end of a long summer day of work on our farm, the night air would be heavy with our thoughts of shutting the last open barn doors, joining dad and other sibling on a quiet walk to our house already enshrouded with the shadowy grip of the coming night.
Our walks were filled with dad matter-of-factually outlining what needed to be done tomorrow even while the minds of us boys had already made the transition to the lights in the kitchen window where we could see the figure of our mother tending to a meal cooking on the large kitchen stove.
If it was a warm night the kitchen window facing us would be open with a pushed out screen doing its best to fight off a horde of mosquitos and moths trying to squiggle through and get a meal of their own. Through this window would often waft the tantalizing whiff of the smell of steaks or hamburgers sizzling on mom’s heavy cast-iron frying pan.
Us “men” would clamber down the uncarpeted concrete basement steps and one after the other we would take turns washing up at the small white stained sink that often looked like itself needed a good cleaning. There was an unspoken order of participation to our washing that varied only between the boys.
Dad was first and when he was done each of us would jockey to be next as we knew with five boys in the family that the singular towel at the sink would need help in drying off the work residue from our day. Unfortunately, our family’s resident red-head youngster usually brought up the rear and was left to ponder what a truly dry towel must feel like.

You can see a small section of the façade of a very modern building with an unusual façade cladding. The window, which also has an unusual design, almost looks like a triangle...

Most of the fences behind the Mundt barn are on the way down. Here is another in the series from the Mundt farm but toward the Rockies. I suppose they thought that the corrugated iron would help protect the barn. This shows the confounding skies that I encountered. Here behind the barn, I found better fencing although none of the corrals could contain live stock. Only dead stock! The Mundt barn and the Meining barn, west on county road #4, were built by the same contractor and both north of the Little Thompson river. Both families were related through marriage. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I think that I see another shack toward the mountains. Time to investigate. I found several prizes.
eDDie always finds barns for my agricultural collections. I have passed this place any number of times and it usually had a large dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Logmont and the barn. The place is about as abandoned as the fences.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies an hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies lately. Still, better than India's new all-time record high temperature — 123.8 Kochistan degrees. These are the Rockies but will fill with folks from Miami and New Orleans with really wet foot ware. Too bad that we are locked in now. Kiss it good bye.
I loved the bokeh on this shot. It is a bit busy, but it has such a warm feel to it that I just had to tweak it and upload it.
The only adjustments to this image were sightly increased contrast and 100% sepia... and a crop.

Allium is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants that includes the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot and leek as well as chives and hundreds of other wild species. The generic name Allium is the Latin word for garlic, and Linnaeus first described the genus Allium in 1753. Some sources refer to Greek αλεω (aleo, to avoid) by reason of the smell of garlic. The cooking and consumption of parts of the plants is due to the large variety of flavours and textures of the species. Various Allium have been cultivated from the earliest times and about a dozen species are economically important as crops, or garden vegetables, and an increasing number of species are important as ornamental plants. The inclusion of a species to the genus Allium is taxonomically difficult and species boundaries are unclear. Estimates of the number of species have been as low as 260, and as high as Most authorities accept about 750 species. The type species for the genus is Allium sativum. Allium species occur in temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, except for a few species occurring in Chile (such as A. juncifolium), Brazil (A. sellovianum), and tropical Africa (A. spathaceum). They vary in height between 5 cm and 150 cm. The flowers form an umbel at the top of a leafless stalk. The bulbs vary in size between species, from small (around 2–3 mm in diameter) to rather large (8–10 cm). Some species (such as Welsh onion A. fistulosum) develop thickened leaf-bases rather than forming bulbs as such. Plants of the Allium genus produce chemical compounds (mostly derived from cysteine sulfoxides) that give them a characteristic (alliaceous) onion or garlic taste and odor. Many are used as food plants, though not all members of the genus are equally flavorous. In most cases, both bulb and leaves are edible and the taste may be strong or weak, depending on the species and on ground sulfur (usually as sulfate) content. In the rare occurrence of sulfur-free growth conditions, all Allium species lose their usual pungency altogether. In the APG III classification system, Allium is placed in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Allioideae (formerly the family Alliaceae). In some of the older classification systems, Allium was placed in Liliaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown this circumscription of Liliaceae is not monophyletic. Allium is one of about fifty-seven genera of flowering plants with more than 500 species. It is by far the largest genus in the Amaryllidaceae, and also in the Alliaceae in classification systems in which that family is recognized as separate. Allium species are herbaceous perennials with flowers produced on scapes. They grow from solitary or clustered tunicate bulbs and many have an onion odor and taste. Plants are perennialized by bulbs that reform annually from the base of the old bulb, or are produced on the ends of rhizomes or, in a few species, at the ends of stolons. A small number of species have tuberous roots. The bulbs' outer coats are commonly brown or grey, with a smooth texture, and are fibrous, or with cellular reticulation. The inner coats of the bulbs are membranous. Many alliums have basal leaves that commonly wither away from the tips downward before or while the plants flower, but some species have persistent foliage. Plants produce from one to 12 leaves, most species having linear, channeled or flat leaf blades. The leaf blades are straight or variously coiled, but some species have broad leaves, including A. victorialis and A. tricoccum. The leaves are sessile, and very rarely narrowed into a petiole. The flowers are erect or in some species pendent, having six petal-like tepals produced in two whorls. The flowers have one style and six epipetalous stamens; the anthers and pollen can vary in color depending on the species. The ovaries are superior, and three-lobed with three locules. The fruits are capsules that open longitudinally along the capsule wall between the partitions of the locule. The seeds are black, and have a rounded shape. The terete or flattened flowering scapes are normally persistent. The inflorescences are umbels, in which the outside flowers bloom first and flowering progresses to the inside. Some species produce bulbils within the umbels, and in some species, such as Allium paradoxum, the bulbils replace some or all the flowers. The umbels are subtended by noticeable spathe bracts, which are commonly fused and normally have around three veins. Some bulbous alliums increase by forming little bulbs or "offsets" around the old one, as well as by seed. Several species can form many bulbils in the flowerhead; in the so-called "tree onion" or Egyptian onion (A. × proliferum) the bulbils are few, but large enough to be pickled. Many of the species of Allium have been used as food items throughout their ranges. There are several poisonous species that are somewhat similar in appearance (e.g. in North America, death camas, Toxicoscordion venenosum), but none of these has the distinctive scent of onions or garlic.
With over 800 species Allium, the sole genus in the Allieae tribe, is one of the largest monocotyledonous genera., but the precise taxonomy of Allium is poorly understood, with incorrect descriptions being widespread. However, the genus has been shown to be monophyletic, containing three major clades, although some proposed subgenera are not. Allium includes a number of taxonomic groupings previously considered separate genera (Caloscordum Herb., Milula Prain and Nectaroscordum Lindl.) Allium spicatum had been treated by many authors as Milula spicata, the only species in the monospecific genus Milula. In 2000, it was shown to be embedded in Allium.
