This wasn't what I expected to see at before 6am in the morning. I wouldn't have believed this had I not witnessed it with my own eyes. It took a while for my brain to register what was happening and then a bit longer to get the camera set up for the fact this took place under a dark bush. I could see this Rufous-collared Sparrow wrestling with something large but initially I couldn't make out what. Then I realised it was some sort of Hawk Moth. Having plucked the Moth from the plant the Sparrow kept jumpiing forward and pecking viciously at the moth and then retreating and then repeating the exercise. Then it took the moth and hit it against the floor several times clearly trying to finish it off. It did eventually kill it, then rolled it up a bit and consumed it little by little. I was still in shock when I went to breakfast.
2TE116UM loc with a northbound container train through the Tunkh's autumn valley. Sometimes, scattered and fastly moving clouds gives me fantastic light and luck! I didn't expect any good result minute before the train is coming, because there were too much cloud shadows on the ground 😁

John Deveuve’s 5300 cc 1906 Brasier Race About, BS 8606 race No. 120, on the Prescott speed hill climb during the Vintage Sports Car Club event on 7th August 2021.
This car is an example of the 25/36HP – a new model for 1906 being fitted with an L Head side valve engine design, instead of the previous T Head system, designed to give improved breathing. Aside from this the Brasier followed the previous pattern of powerful Brasier cars, having twin-chain drive, a pressed steel chassis, sliding pinion type 4-speed gearbox with quadrant gear change. The 24/36HP Brasier had a capacity of 5.3-litres and was a high-quality car of impressive performance, as one would expect from a firm with the competition pedigree of Brasier.
Thankfully England had Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and many others in their team in WW2. Unfortunately our men of today despite fame, fortune and WAGs still fall short of what their nation expects.Its always the same. Who can stand the interminable post match analyses?
I wanted a photo that showed the real metal of this great sculpture, gritty and tough: these men saved our country from defeat and ignominy when we needed them to.
Taken at Mud Bay, Delta, British Columbia, Canada.
After posting shots of most of the other kinds of peeps, I figured that a shot of this particular species would be a reasonable expectation.
Anything else would be 'non sequitur' to say the least.

I expected to be just photographing this rose but the unexpected happened. This insect flew into view and stayed for just a few seconds. I think the insect might be a wasp but I'm not sure.

Out for sunrise yesterday morning, I was expecting a bit of mist along the River Adur here but sadly there was none.
So a quick change to plan B, With time ticking by I shot to Titch hill overlooking Steyning and Bramber , I knew I could get an elevated view across the Adur valley from there for sunrise and hopefully some cloud, yes It was all I hoped for, mist in the valley cloud and a nice sunrise , the first shot i`ll be editing later so you will have to wait until tomorrow lol
NS 125, allegedly combined with the 167, rolls into the west end of Coapman yard at East St. Louis, IL on a sunny Sunday morning. A lucky find; I was aware this unit had arrived in the area the night before, never expected to see it the next morning.
composited with previous images of mine (boat & floating father & daughter), various Topaz filters; the bay in Sausalito, CA.

It took a lot longer than expected to get to my hotel close to Zilina, Slovakia. The road was narrow, full of curves and rather busy. I did enjoy, though, and I enjoyed the warm dish and the spacious room at the hotel even more. The next day, I had planned a day on the non-electrified railway lines around Horna Stubna, hoping to see some of the 754-series locomotives in action. And who knows, maybe even a "Bardotka" with a freight train.
Not knowing what to expect, I just went to the station of Klastor Pod Znievom where I was lucky enough to catch 754 020 hauling a train to Horna Stubna. A very good start of the day!

Day 8 - On our way over to Wyoming to Yellowstone, we wandered way out into the Wyoming backcountry to wild camp once more. Sadly we (mostly me) ended up getting quite lost on dirt tracks, but we (yes, mostly me again) had an awesome time.
No bears, but we did get a great chance to meet this Pronghorn who seemed pretty surprised that we were all the way out there.
Hopefully, everybody in the group will forgive me, though now we're entering Yellowstone from the East and not the South, and hal;f a day later than expected.
After a walk up to the monument on Dun na Cuaiche, I strolled around the gardens of Inveraray Castle, fully expecting the need to use an umbrella … surprisingly, it wasn't required
The sun was not out when I got to this waterfall and I didn't think it would come out at all, but right as I found a nice spot to capture the waterfall I saw this sunstar : )
Beautiful light: a low sun obscured by thick clouds of fog, trees silhouetted - not just the obvious big foreground fuzzy tree but a handful of tall conifers in front of the sun's disk from the top of the Knock of Crieff in the very far distance.
…I was attracted to this uniquely shaped arch with window inset - I expect some serious extensions took place some time, quite possibly Henry Fox Talbot during his stay here? Have a great W/End folks, Alan:-)

We visited Gettysburg, and expected to feel reverence for the trails and tribulations that happened there. It did not disappoint. What I did not expect was to find such beautiful terrain. The landscape there was gorgeous. I suppose it makes good sense, militaristically speaking. This is at the edge of a big hill, with rock outcroppings and lots of places to fortify using nature.
This is the statue to Gouverneur K. Warren on Little Round Top at Gettysburg National Military Park. I wanted to get an image that made it look like we was looking at something, so I plugged the sun into the scene right where he was looking. Ok, maybe he would not look right at the sun, but at least it gives his gaze a home. Excuse, me, I am going out to stare at the sun too.
The origin of this song is unknown and it has been attributed to many. It's been around for over 80 years and recorded by many over the years. To name just a few, Bob Dylan, Gene Autry, The Pine Ridge Boys, Johnny Cash, Carly Simon, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Brian Wilson, Boxcar Willie, B.B. King and more recently The Dead South.
It can be a lullaby, a love song or a song of heartbreak.
This recording is by The Dead South a folk-bluegrass musical ensemble from, Saskatchewan, Canada. They are no strangers to New Mexico.

The fountains are turned on at awkward times, like when you least expect it. It's great to walk around watching the bigger fountains except when the smaller one's turn on before your ready.

A Black-bellied Whistling Duck, from above.
From the Florida Fish and Wild-Life Conservation Commission:
Since 1968, black-bellied whistling ducks frequently have been found in central and south Florida in late summer and early fall, ...In recent years, these ducks have become year-round residents in all of peninsular Florida. As these birds can adapt to almost any habitat in rural and urban areas, their population is expected to grow....many of these birds now migrate to north Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas to breed during the summer. ...they are steadily increasing their range with recent confirmed breeding pairs in Wisconsin and Delaware.
i’m pretty sure no introduction is needed. panster has always been the definition of kind and consistent. the support she shows, day by day, the quiet encouragement, the way she gives without ever expecting anything back. it doesn’t go unnoticed.
if there were more souls like hers, in either world, it would be a better place. just know you’re appreciated exactly as you are. never change. ever.
and yes i made a comment on your shades previously. but who am i to talk, clearly i kept going. haha

There are numerous stone circles on the moors of Cornwall and Devon, but you certainly don't expect to find one in a farmer's field on the outskirts of a Cornish village such as Duloe, a few miles from Looe. Originally there was a hedge running through it and no-one realised that there was actually a stone circle there.
Duloe stone circle is the smallest in Cornwall. The flat ridge top on which it lies is flanked half a mile to either side by deep valleys containing the East Looe and West Looe rivers. The circle is in many respects unique, consisting of eight large and irregular white quartz blocks set in a pattern of alternating large and small stones. Seven of the stones are upright with one fallen. The ‘circle’ appears to have been set out by eye in an ovoid design, elongated in a north-south direction.
Restoration carried out in the mid-1800s included the removal of the hedge that ran through the middle of the circle and incorporated two of the original stones. During this early attempt at restoration a Bronze Age ribbon-handled urn was discovered which contained cremated human bones. The circle may therefore have been a Bronze Age burial monument. There are no accompanying megalithic monuments in the vicinity.

Now one wouldn't expect Walter P. Chrysler's wife Della to drive to the Club or to the polo match by herself, now would we? Of course not. That's what common people would do even if they were members of the Club, which, obviously, would be impossible. And, for those occasions, why not get chauffeured to your destinations, and do so in the style that you so much deserve and have earned! And when you said "I do" you then moved up to that grand status and position. And, I might add, what better way would it be to do that then in a one-off custom bodied Imperial by LeBaron? (well, maybe in a Bugatti Type 41 Royale, but that changes the story completely!)
And from that day forth, her finely manicured hands never touched a steering wheel again!
And now the rest of the story penned by Angelo Van Bogart:
With Chrysler as her last name — Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, to be exact — Della Chrysler’s automotive choices weren’t as limited as one might expect.
Certainly, Mrs. Chrysler drove a Chrysler automobile, but in 1937, she chose not to be carried in one of the dizzying number of production sedans and limousines in the Custom Imperial Eight or Royal Six line. Nor did Mrs. Chrysler order one of the semi-custom Derham town cars also carried in the 1937 Chrysler catalog. Instead, Mrs. Chrysler had a one-of-a-kind town car built on a Custom Imperial chassis of an art deco form that rivaled the wildest town cars built on Duesenberg and Rolls-Royce chassis.
The teardrop-shaped town car body on her 1937 Custom Imperial built by coachbuilder LeBaron dripped elegance and was perfectly mated to the new streamlined styling of the 1937 Chrysler line. The bulbous aluminum LeBaron passenger compartment was painted black and mimicked the production Chrysler pontoon front fenders. The period-perfect Chrysler streamlining began at the “ship’s prow” front-end, which was striped with horizontal grille bars and matching chrome speed lines along the hood sides. The horizontal theme was picked up by LeBaron with speed lines behind the rear door at the sail panel and with horizontally ribbed aluminum trim that circled the body from the back of one front fender to the rear of the opposite front fender. The subtle trim piece literally brought the whole car together — production chassis and front-end styling with unique town car coachwork — as it streaked from the front fender, across the running boards and unique rear fender skirts, around the back of the car and all the way to the rear of the opposite front fender.
Inside, this special town car continued the art deco theme, from the production three-spoke steering wheel with ribbed bars and elegant gauges to the unique console built into the division window. Carpet as thick as a mink coat covered the floor, and seats as plush as the softest bed cradled rear seat passengers.
his slice of wheeled heaven wasn’t available to everyone, but was made available to those such as Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, who could afford the craftsmanship of a hand-built LeBaron body fitted with the utmost of luxury by that Detroit concern. At the time, LeBaron was not yet absorbed by the Chrysler Corp., which later relegated the LeBaron name to a model. Rather, at this time, it was an independent subsidiary of the Briggs Body Co. that built bodies for Packard, Lincoln, Duesenberg and Pierce-Arrow, among others.
Mrs. Chrysler’s 1937 town car was not the first LeBaron-built body for Chrysler family, but it was probably the last. Just five years earlier, LeBaron had built a pair of custom 1932 Imperials for the Walter P. Chrysler family: a unique close-coupled sedan for Walter P. and a speedster for his son, Walter P. Chrysler Jr. Shortly after the 1937 LeBaron town car was built, in May 1938, Walter P. suffered a stroke. In August of that year, Della Chrysler passed away. Walter P. followed her to eternal rest two years later, in 1940.
Sometime after Della Chrysler passed away, her 1937 LeBaron town car passed on to her daughter, Bernice Chrysler Garbisch. Her initials “BCG” were added with cast letters to each rear door. However, neither she or her chauffeur drove the car much and today the odometer has registered just 25,501 miles. Very few of those were added after the car left Garbisch’s garage and went into the collection of Long Island car collector Harry Gilbert in the 1950s.
