That's me! This, sadly, wasn't taken by me, my sister took it but I really liked it. I'm working on a stop motion, the best one I think that I've done so far :)
I expect you're no stranger to this thing by now, seeing as it features in my most faved photograph to date! Curiously, I haven't seen or heard anything about it being in service since, so I can only assume mechanical issues have been keeping it off the road. Bustimes thinks it was last used in January, which is definitely incorrect since it was that website which alerted me to this working on 26.3.21, with the bus heading out for a stint on the 100 before going straight back to the depot. Of course, now I'm even more pleased I went out for it instead of staying in bed... and the luck was on my side for once!
Even though 'local' isn't exactly one of my favourite liveries, I can't deny the President body style carries it quite nicely. On what I'm fairly certain was its first trip in service, the usual build up of dirt and exterior wear and tear had yet to occur so in this view 18027 does look mighty fine with its clean bodywork and wheels, although the faulty side blind and crazed border around the front blind do detract slightly. Lack of adverts is another bonus too! Of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't also mention the absence of any black detailing whatsoever, either around the windows, above the front blind glass or on the 'bib' below the windscreen. I guess that was expected since the repaint was carried out at Lincoln depot, and I'm glad they didn't use any of that miserable dark blue colour on it instead!
In short, I think it looks good and carries the livery surprisingly well, but once the dirt and paint deterioration sets in the novelty of a re-liveried President will die off and it won't look as good as it did in beachball.
26.3.21
Expecting awesome cloud-light at sunset (more on that later) during the Eastern Sierra workshop I attended in early May, everyone was exploring the shoreline of the Owens River to find some nice spots for the evening light. (See the photostreams of Jerry, one of the instructors next to David Muench, as well as Hank and Ralph.)
This is a shot I did during that time towards the east, not quite yet at sunset. Still, I like the clouds in this a lot, which kinda wrap around that tree in the middle-ground. At 1/3s exposure time, you also get a nice blur of the Owens River, which had (and probably still has) quite a lot of water this year.

A scene more reminiscent of what were then the colonies than what we might expect of Ireland. A house with lots of lean-to shades, and people sitting out taking the sun, while others comport themselves in the gardens. We have not visited the O'Connor Collection for a while and this is a particularly fine shot to remedy that neglect. And of course we have a Big Black Dog!
Though labelled as 'two storey house, front patio, unknown location' in the catalogue, it was quickly identified as near Crosshaven in County Cork. And immediately refined to the Church Bay Hotel just south of Weaver's Point in Templebreedy parish. Built around 1898, today's contributors tell us that the hotel was owned by Mrs Mary Jane Dobson from 1901 until at least the mid-1910s - from which time this image almost certainly dates. The building still stands - though now seemingly converted to (holiday?) apartments. Whether they still allow dogs is not confirmed :)

The last thing I expected was an EXPLORE on this photo.
I believe in my profile description it was mentioned that my ex husband and I had a sign making business for about 10 years in NH. Whenever I see sign companies installing, making, fixing signs it's of great interest to me because of this.
This day was no exception and I debated bw instead but went with color. (I'll probably post the bw version or others on this shoot)
Our sign making business was based out of Plymouth/Campton, NH. We did everything from painted, carved, sandblasted, vinyl from trucklettering to installing larger signs such as these. However I was younger then and had 3 children while, at the same tme, running this business From soup to nuts lol.
As the kids came it was a bit challenging to afford daycare and meet our deadlines. I recall being 40 feet up on a ladder in the winter ~ 8-9 months pregnant to pay the bills.
For about 4--5 years I was secretary for the New Hampshire Sign Association. This group was more of a tri-state or more group... Sign companies such as Barlo Signs, Franks Signs, Paquette Signs and many more attended these monthly meetings.
This is a very positive thing to belong to these associations. Especially being new to the business. Other sign companies are very friendly and often times work can be subcontracted so that both companies benefit as well as the customer.
My first street shot EXPLORE ... I'm thrilled to have my 36th EXPLORE here on Flickr. (Unless I missed one )
Thanks to Erika... you must have the greatest job on Flickr <3
CDR forces destroyed a key highway needed for the transport of military equipment and supplies today, in his address to the nation, Primaton Intl. CEO Brian Williamson said "This blatant and unprovoked attack on American soil is a disgrace, the CDR has broken the treaties signed and Primaton Intl. forces are on the move to the border to remove any viable threat to the country." Military convoys have been spotted in Oregon, Minnesota and Maine Headed for key cities in Canada, resistance is expected and the "Take no prisoners" rule shall go into effect.

I am leaving for my annual winter photo trip to the North Shore. This is my favorite trip of the year. In the winter each and every time you visit, the conditions and scenery change sometimes by the hour. You never know what to expect!
See you all when I get back!
Expected release will be in April 2019. Visit our website or our resellers pages to reserve yours tomorrow starting at 10 am Central Standard Time. Limited quantities available.
What do you guys think?
Expect different photos from me from now on. My concept of things has changed. I started caring about what other people would think of my photos way more than I should. I am back to taking photos that make me happy. Not other people. I don't really care what anyone says about my photos, because they are for me, and I'm fine with that.

Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
After a long slow crawl and getting soaked to the bone in a downpour . Finally managed a few frames of this stunning expecting mother.

Accelerate to new heights, battle hordes of powerful enemies, and experience the thrill of high-velocity, open-zone performing freedom across the five massive Starfall Islands. Welcome to the evolution of sonic games!
In essence, we got ourselves here an open-world Sonic the Hedgehog game.
Sonic Frontiers is a platforming game developed by Sonic team and published by Sega. It is expected to hit the store shelves on Tuesday, November 8th, 2022
We did not expect much, only some holes in the ground after a steep track uphill. Some locals tried to find the treasure (and wine cellar) of some medieval abbot after the war of 1870/71.
What we found was a gigantic molehill on top of the hill. The track sign says the mound has the exact size and form of Silbury Hill close to Stonehenge (wikipedia article here) – further investigations have to show if the hill is manmade.
Besides that: some celtic findings, the Romans used it for a signaling station, and the Staufer built a castle there (Anselburg), which has disappeared completely.
Expect the unexpected! I had time in the garden at Bamburgh with different lenses to try at some insect life.

As of mid-November, ISON is officially upon us. Using Hubble, we've taken our closest look yet at the innermost region of the comet, where geysers of sublimating ice are fueling a spectacular tail.
Made from observations on November 2nd, the image combines pictures of ISON taken through blue and red filters. As we expect, the round coma around ISON's nucleus is blue and the tail has a redder hue. Ice and gas in the coma reflect blue light from the Sun, while dust grains in the tail reflect more red light than blue light. This is the most color separation we've seen so far in ISON -- that's because the comet, nearer than ever to the Sun, is brighter and more structured than ever before.
We've certainly come a long way since Hubble started observing Comet ISON, way back in April. Of course, our eight-month retrospective pales in comparison with ISON's own journey, which started some 10,000 years ago in the Oort cloud. ISON will come closest to the Sun on November 28, a point in its orbit known as perihelion.
What's remarkable here is that the entire ISON, this awesome, shimmery space tadpole, is being produced from a dusty ball of ice estimated to be a few kilometers in diameter. Compared to ISON's full extent, Hubble's latest image is tiny. It only shows the very base of the tail. Yet even in this closest closeup we've ever had, a single pixel spans 24 km across the comet.
Now that Comet ISON is close, amateur astromers rule the day. But Hubble observations, including this latest image, are still providing key insights into the science and spectacle of a comet we hope will continue to impress.

More details on Comet ISON:
Comet ISON began its trip from the Oort cloud region of our solar system and is now travelling toward the sun. The comet will reach its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving Day -- 28 Nov 2013 -- skimming just 730,000 miles above the sun's surface. If it comes around the sun without breaking up, the comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere with the naked eye, and from what we see now, ISON is predicted to be a particularly bright and beautiful comet.
Catalogued as C/2012 S1, Comet ISON was first spotted 585 million miles away in September 2012. This is ISON's very first trip around the sun, which means it is still made of pristine matter from the earliest days of the solar system’s formation, its top layers never having been lost by a trip near the sun. Comet ISON is, like all comets, a dirty snowball made up of dust and frozen gases like water, ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide -- some of the fundamental building blocks that scientists believe led to the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago.
NASA has been using a vast fleet of spacecraft, instruments, and space- and Earth-based telescope, in order to learn more about this time capsule from when the solar system first formed.
The journey along the way for such a sun-grazing comet can be dangerous. A giant ejection of solar material from the sun could rip its tail off. Before it reaches Mars -- at some 230 million miles away from the sun -- the radiation of the sun begins to boil its water, the first step toward breaking apart. And, if it survives all this, the intense radiation and pressure as it flies near the surface of the sun could destroy it altogether.
This collection of images show ISON throughout that journey, as scientists watched to see whether the comet would break up or remain intact.
