Dock is such a beautiful colour and fascinating in its details. This flower was seen and photographed the day before yesterday, 21 August 2013, when a group of us visited Keith Logan's property again. Keith and his wife, Sandy, live on a 35-acre piece of land, NW of Cochrane. After enjoying seeing a lot of Keith's stunning photography and incredible woodwork, and enjoying coffee and the most delicious cheese scones and spicy scones straight out of the oven, we then walked on their land to record all flora and fauna seen. We all agree - if you sit in one of Keith's chairs, you'll see that no chair could ever be more comfortable - they are simply amazing! Thanks to Keith and his wife, Sandy, for such an enjoyable day!

"The docks and sorrels, genus Rumex L., are a genus of about 200 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbs in the buckwheat family Polygonaceae. Members of this family are very common perennial herbs growing mainly in the northern hemisphere, but various species have been introduced almost everywhere. Some are nuisance weeds (and are sometimes called dockweed or dock weed), but some are grown for their edible leaves.
The usually inconspicuous flowers are carried above the leaves in clusters. The fertile flowers are mostly hermaphrodite, or they may be functionally male or female. The flowers and seeds grow on long clusters at the top of a stalk emerging from the basal rosette; in many species the flowers are green, but in some (such as sheep's sorrel, Rumex acetosella) the flowers and their stems may be brick-red." From Wikipedia.
Two species of Rumex have been seen on the Logan's land - Garden Sorrel, Rumex acetosa, S4 (i.e. apparently secure), and Western Dock, Rumex aquaticus/occidentalis, R. (i.e. rare) - and I'm not sure which one is seen in my macro photo.

I thought I was in trouble with the farmer here, but he only wanted to ask if there was a kettle coming. Alas, no - they only come when it's raining. Nothing more exciting than a TransPennine Express 185 set, running 17 minutes late with the 09.10 Manchester Airport - Glasgow Central.

i think this is the first thing i've posted where i'm using the new canon 40mm pancake lens. i like it, the weight and size are just right for carrying around. it's a focal length i'm comfortable with from my yashica rangefinder.
Thompson Graving Dock: the resting place of many newly built liners including the Olympic and Titanic.
Dock and boats in Durrell, Newfoundland late on a September afternoon. Mr. Horwood is most happy to give anyone a tour of his "little museum", as he calls it. Has quite an eclectic collection of items in that little red shed on the dock! Really worth a stop if you are in the area!
The sun was out so I visited a place I have been wanting to explore for many years, the graving docks in Govan.
Its a real shame that this piece of Glasgows industrial heritage has been left to decay but at least its not been filled in for flats or a horrible museum building.
If you chose to explore the site then please be VERY careful. There are open pits, rusted handrails and rotten wood on the bridges so be warned.
