Fever Tree (Vachellia xanthophloea)
Colonists moving higher up in the past into South Africa contracted fever when these trees were in sight, so they called them Fever Trees, not knowing it was caused by mosquitos....

We are awaiting exchange of contracts on the cottage, completion may be as late as October. We met the prospective new owners yesterday . . . and I'm pleased to report that Pat and John would have been pleased that they are going to have their home. We are pleased too!
Only one poppy in the meadow which was strange, but masses of large daisies. Not around much today either, we are going to the cinema to see the live link from Stratford Henry IV part 2 . . . will catch up as and when I'm able - but now in the middle of a busy week.
A new year, renewing contract. She signed herself into my power. Every letter, every stroke of her pen was a surrender—her breath, her thoughts, her very essence now bound to my will. She is no longer just an amazing capable woman; she is a vessel, a creation of my command, ready to be shaped, molded, and used. Her soul dances to my rhythm, and in her submission, I find my absolute control. She belongs to me —completely, utterly, and without question.

As mentioned in an earlier posting, Hubbard Pond and its surroundings are under consideration as the site for a heavy industrial type facility by the Regents of the University of Michigan. If the project goes forward, another piece of the critical natural habitat necessary to sustain these and other vulnerable creatures will be lost forever.
UPDATE: In a 12 March 2016 letter, the President of the University of Michigan indicates the proposed heavy industrial project for this site has been "paused". Plus, all applications for various construction permits are suspended and no construction contracts have been awarded.
While this turn of events appears positive, all it takes is a whim to re-activate the project. Until the final determination is STOP, the possibility of this easily preventable man-made disaster remains. Now is the time to stand-up. Mother Nature needs your voice.

More progress on the crown of immortality. The blinders may or may not be sold as a separate item. As usual, this will be fully tintable.
Thanks to a typo in the contract, the professor gained complete mastery of all the knowledge in the heavens and the earth in exchange for his soup.
Still in business today, Balfour Beatty has been a major player in the UK construction and civil engineering markets. Founded in 1909, its initial operations focused on tramways, with a notable presence in the East Midlands. That activity led Balfour Beatty to diversify into power generation and general contracting, playing a key role in the development of Britain’s National Grid. During the same 1930s period, Balfour Beatty replaced the trams with buses at its subsidiary companies.
Just three bus companies remained on Balfour Beatty’s books when it decided to exit the market at the end of the 1940s. Thus, Midland General, Notts & Derby and Mansfield District were sold to the state-controlled British Transport Commission. Previously major buyers of AEC and Leyland buses, the ex-Balfour Beatty bus fleets then took a steady influx of standard Bristol/Eastern Coachworks vehicles. However, the old liveries were retained, together with other details (eg destination layouts) that differentiated the fleets from the general BTC run of the mill.
This view at Newark Bus Station proved to be the sole occasion I photographed buses of the former Balfour Beatty bus fleets: all three companies lost their identities soon afterwards under National Bus Company management. On the left is Mansfield & District 545 (24MNN), a Bristol FLF6G Lodekka new in 1963. Its companion is 104 ( JNU993D), a 1966 dual-purpose Bristol MW6G that was registered by Midland General Omnibus but seen here in service with Mansfield District.

Dueling Greater Sage Grouse inflate their chests during the mating season, revealing prominent yellow air sacks which make a distinctive bubbling sound as they expand and contract. Their head kinda disappears into their white 'ruffle' while this happens.
CM3313, CM3303 & CM3311 on hire to SSR for the Manildra contract lead 9577 over the Mooki River Bridge at Breeza.
The service originated at Bomaderry, Nowra to load at Manildra's Gunnedah Flour Mill.
Due to the collapse of two silos at their Bomaderry facility in October 2024, services from Gunnedah have been assisting with the shortfall of product.

Something of a rare breed these days.... a Carlisle Kingmoor Yard DB Cargo driver !
With a massive reduction in workload just nine drivers are now on the books at Kingmoor Yard TCD for DB Cargo along with two junior drivers who are based wholly within the yard itself for shunting.
The traincrew depots mainline work has dwindled down to the Peel Ports contract train running containers from Liverpool (Seaforth) Docks to Mossend and return. Other than that we still cover the lime empties from Warrington to Hardendale Quarry for Tata Steel. A far cry from when I transferred to the depot 22 years ago from down south when there were over 50 drivers and more work for EWS than there were drivers to cover it. At one stage we had 15 drivers on loan from other depots just to move the volumes of mostly coal. How times change !
Here yours truly gets a brief leg stretch and some fresh air at 03.42 having arrived 40mins early into Carlisle with 4M35 the 02.10 Mossend Euro Terminal to Seaforth Docks container train.

Enclosed rig purchased to transport Mercedes units. After the Mercedes contract was lost, the sides and pod were removed and the rig transported Toyota units. Seen loading Toyotas in my photostream. Search "DMT".
OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
Please type "L" for a much better view.
The beautiful plume moth is spectacular in flight with its feathery wings expanded. When it's at rest, it contracts its wings up just like a closed fan looking very similar to some large birds with a wide wing span.
For many years Isle Coaches of Owston Ferry operated services 291 and 399 from the company's home village to both Doncaster and Scunthorpe, with the occasional through journey. Sadly this all came to an end in the summer of 2022, with both services running for the last time on Saturday 11 June, when this photograph was taken in Scunthorpe Bus Station. FX51 WYG is a former Dublin Bus Volvo B7TL (original registration 01-D-10213), turned out to the operator's usual high standards. A small notice in the windscreen indicates that this is the last day of service by Isle Coaches (limited replacements were to be provided under contract to North Lincolnshire Council by Hornsby's and Stagecoach). The bus is about to operate the penultimate 399 departure from Scunthorpe, the 1347 to Westwoodside via Gunness, Belton, Epworth, Owston Ferry and Haxey. (Photo taken 11 Jun 2022, posted 23 Nov 2022)
Not what I came for, but as it passed in sun, I wasn`t goiung to refuse the opportunity of yet another photohgraph of this Volvo Olympian. I was hoping 2 of the former 'Noah Vale' Olympians which I am yet to photograph might show up, but alas, they did not.

So on a whim I watched Judas Contract, the newest movie from DC's animation studios, and as someone who's never read the story it's based on, and isn't actually a Titans fan, I honestly thought it was pretty good. Bizarrely enough it may be one of DC's best animated movies to come out after the Flashpoint movie.
Anyways, here's some figs.
Brother Blood: I didn't originally intend on making him but he had an interesting presence in the movie (at least until he turned into generic supervillain number six-million) so I ran with it. Elrond head, Indiana Jones torso, two capes, Glam Rock Bats legs.
Slade is an Onlinesailin in Ninjago armor.
Terra: Harry Potter head, CMF Amazon warrior torso.
Beast Boy: Put together this outfit after I used all the black and purple Beast Boy parts to make better figs. Clone armor, CMF robot legs.
Nightwing: Now with LBM Bruce Wayne hair.
Starfire is official, and Raven I posted long ago.
I didn't include Blue Beetle cause I killed his fig almost as soon as I got it (and also he had no bearing on the film whatsoever) or Damien cause it'd just be the official fig.
Let me know what you thought of the movie!
Cheers!

"I'd almost forgotten... The history the Titans share with H.I.V.E" -Nightwing, Titans Issue 10. Can't wait for the Lazarus Contract. That's gonna be hype, just thought would do this. Also Batman/Flash and the button part 1 review soon.
Summer 2013 saw Horsburgh gain a large number of School contracts and going against usual tradition of buying withdrawn Lothian vehicles, opted for the quick option of acquiring the vast amount of local withdrawn Stagecoach deckers.
During late 2004 First received a batch of 5 Dennis Tridents with the popular Alexander ALX400 bodywork for use on local Redditch services 57 and 58, their capacity would be a welcome sight on the circular services, which could easily get overcrowded in the peak times and school trips. Although they were ordered for Redditch, due to problems with trees on the 57 and 58 routes, they were sent on loan to Leicester and then Northampton before entering service at Redditch in November 2005, almost a year after delivery.
Although 33405 was the first one to enter service as a Redditch bus, 33402 took the honour of being the first one to operate a service into Redditch covering the 247 from Evesham depot while operating out of their before moving to Redditch. 33404 also saw service from Kidderminster depot on services contracted from The Green Bus.
The Tridents went on to get branding for the 57 and 58 services, however after just three years two were sent away (33401/5), followed closely by another 2 (33402/4) for use from Worcester on schools and the 144 service.
Now all allocated to Worcester depot, they are expected to depart for First Essex soon enough, which will be a real shame as these vehicles have served the area well for many years, and have operated from all depots that were open since 2005 (Evesham, Redditch, Kidderminster, Hereford and Worcester)
Here we see 33401 and 33402 at rest in Worcester depot before taking up afternoon school duties.
