This understated foursquare is located in Kittrell, Vance County, North Carolina and was built between 1910-1920. It’s painted gray with a darker gray trim Three chimneys have an interior placement, 2 near the front and one at the rear. There are at least two gables, both pedimented, one on the side and one at the back (I was unable to view one side of the structure). A typical 4-square dormer dominates the roofline of the front façade, all windows showing a diamond pattern in the top pane. The second level at front has three windows, the middle for the upper hallway; this second floor window has rectangular vertical sidelights extending the length of the window. The first level entrance has a wraparound porch with plain railings and eight Tuscan (?) columns. At each extremity of the porch is a pilaster. The porch is wood with concrete (probably) steps. The single-leaf door has a decorated continuous transom and decorated sidelights extending 2/3 the length of the door with a panel below each sidelight. A side bay forms one end of the porch with its simple entrance with transom. The bay extends the full length of the house and is topped with a pedimented gable with a semi-circular window with keystone design. Windows throughout are 1/1 double-sash. The foundation is probably of concrete, possibly housing a basement. A wooden deck with lattice-work extends from one of the sides at the rear. The house is large, encompassing more than the standard 8 rooms of this style.

RCL 2238 posed with a model of Grays garage that I shall be building into a small diorama. My daily journey in the seventies, from school through Romford made me familiar with these and RMCs which ran on the 370 route to Grays.
Photographed on my lunch break, Feb.29th. The Gray Partridge is not native to North America as it was introduced from Eurasia. There are several pockets in eastern Ontario where they thrive, mainly near large agricultural fields. Photographed near Navan, Ontario. Canon 7D, 400mm f5.6L, 1/3200, f6.3, iso 400, handheld.

DANANG, Vietnam – The frail boy can barely crawl or play with toys because of his lack of coordination.
His skin is pale and slightly gray from birth defects, similar to that of his older brother.
Vo Tan Hau, 4, and his 13-year-old sibling, Tri, are among many disabled children in impoverished farm villages in Danang, a former U.S. military base on the coast of Central Vietnam.
Their deformities are unofficially attributed to Agent Orange, the herbicide that was sprayed over the country during the Vietnam War. More than 20 million gallons of herbicides that contained toxic dioxin and other acidic chemicals were used by U.S. troops to defoliate forests and root the enemy out of their hiding places between 1961 and 1970, the Vietnamese government claims.
"Many of these children have brain damage," said Kenneth J. Herrmann Jr., a social sciences professor at State University of New York-Brockport, who founded a college for Americans in Danang in 2000. His students are required to perform community service to suspected Agent Orange victims, as well as attend lectures by Danang University professors.
"Many of these children are wasting away. Many of them are emaciated," said Herrmann, who served as a U.S. Army sergeant in the war.
Vietnam War veterans from Washington County also are reaching out to deformed children in the Danang area. Members of the Friends of Danang of McMurray have set a goal to raise $192,600 to provide the children with surgery to relax their twisted and tight tendons so they might be able to walk.
Anthony W. Accamando Jr., a founder of the Friends of Danang, said his group is only chipping away at the many problems facing these children.
"We are not miracle workers," said Accamando, 60, of Eighty Four.
A $150 donation from his group eased the suffering of Dang Ngo Tien Dung, 15, whose deformed legs prevented him from sitting upright until his surgery in April 2003.
Despite his progress, Dung spends endless hours on a straw mat spread across his wood-slat bed. His bedroom has a dirt floor lined with walls that are barely covered with recycled boards and sheet metal. He has a view through his door of a television in the next room, a gift from Accamando.
Friends of Danang also underwrites the cost of counseling for mothers of children like Dung to make it easier for them to care for their children. These women can barely afford rice and nuoc mam (fermented fish sauce), the cheapest staples in Vietnam. Some have been abandoned by their husbands because of their unhealthy children, relief workers said.
They sometimes resort to wishing death upon their children as their only hope to relieve the suffering, said Nguyen Thi Lan of World Vision International. The Christian nonprofit organization administers the Friends of Danang's Let Them Walk Again project.
"I used to cry. I decided it was fate. I had to quit crying to care for my children," said To Thi Phuong, 29, of Danang's Hoa Vang village.
Two of her three children were born with birth defects. Her 9-month-old daughter has leukemia and a tumor on her left cheek, while her 6-year-old son has brain damage and deformed arms and legs.
Hoa Vang was sprayed with Agent Orange during Marine and Army patrols, Herrmann said. Today, 70 of the village's 110 children have disabilities that could be associated with the herbicide, according to him.
It is difficult to prove the cause of these birth defects, he said, because genetic testing costs as much as $1,500.
"They don't have that kind of money," Herrmann said. "Most of these kids have no access to a doctor."
Thirty of the 2,400 children under age 16 in Hoa Lien have similar birth defects, said Dr. Le Van Hy, the district physician. He has indentified 13 other deformed children here who need surgery, and countless others who should be evaluated by a physician.
"We don't have enough money," Hy said. "We are trying our best."
A poster promoting condom use hangs from a porch column at his clinic, a modest stucco building with donated American medical supplies and stainless steel furnishings. Birth control is a difficult concept to sell in a culture that places a high moral responsibility on children to be devoted to their parents. Parents with many children are thus ensured they will be properly cared for when they are old and worshiped in the afterlife.
The culture and the plight of the children in Danang have left lasting impressions on Herrmann's students.
"How lucky we are to have been born in the right place," said Joseph Lapaix, 21, a history student at SUNY-Brockport, after delivering noodles and money to suspected Agent Orange victims in Hoa Vang in July.
"We need to see these things to be affected," said his classmate, Ashley Dahl, 22, an English student at the University of Denver.
"We see it. We feel it – so we do something about it," she said.

Jocelyne and I were doing some gardening today and we came across this little guy in behind one of my flower pots. Isn't he the cutest little tree frog. He's quite tiny, only a couple centimeters long. I just love his colouring, he can actually change colour according to his surroundings and will turn from gray to green and black to white...pretty cool hey. I'm not much into picking up frogs anymore, I think I gave that up when I was a little kid though briefly got back into when our kids were little and needed help capturing frogs but that was years ago :-) But I braved it and did pick up this little guy so you could see how tiny he is in comparison to my hands (there's a picture in the comments). And he wasn't a real squirmy frog like the leopard frogs we find in our yard, so he was kind of nice to hold, he just stuck to my thumb.
I've posted some more Spring shots on my blog.
Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) profile photographed in La laguna Ojo de Liebre, Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur.
Being able to have a Gray whale so close to the boat with the right type of underwater photography gear, and cooperative visibility (by Baja lagoons standards) all lined up for a profile image I’ve been dreaming of making for many years.
Set of 12 gray digital papers with gray and white damask, polka, arrows, quaterfoil and shell pattern.
Looking from the coal pier (just downstream from the Gull lightship) back towards Grays Laundry and Argent Street. The new high rise flats are just visible over the wagon on the left. Taken May 1974.
The first of these I've seen and photographed. Now I know what is meant by the term, "sitting in the catbird seat." Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.
