Taken in Bournemouth Gardens last week. I tried to take as much care with the background as the foreground. I like the mix of colour and also the light in the background, thrown off of vegetation.

Chrysanthemums (/krɪˈsænθəməm/), sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China. Countless horticultural varieties and cultivars exist.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Ancient Greek: χρυσός chrysos (gold) and Ancient Greek: ἄνθεμον anthemon (flower).
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by 1630. By the year 2014 it was estimated that there are now over 20,000 cultivars in the world and about 7,000 cultivars in China. The plant is renowned as one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian art. The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival.
Chrysanthemum cultivation began in Japan during the Nara and Heian periods (early 8th to late 12th centuries), and gained popularity in the Edo period (early 17th to late 19th century). Many flower shapes, colours, and varieties were created. The way the flowers were grown and shaped also developed, and chrysanthemum culture flourished. The Imperial Seal of Japan is a chrysanthemum and the institution of the monarchy is also called the Chrysanthemum Throne. A number of festivals and shows take place throughout Japan in autumn when the flowers bloom. Chrysanthemum Day (菊の節句 Kiku no Sekku) is one of the five ancient sacred festivals. It is celebrated on the 9th day of the 9th month. It was started in 910, when the imperial court held its first chrysanthemum show.

They are small, silent and fast. They seem to come out of nowhere and just when you have them in your viewfinder, they dart left or right, up or down. The little Green-winged Teal (Anas crecca) is the smallest dabbling duck in North America. The natty male has a cinnamon-colored head with a gleaming green crescent that extends from the eye to the back of the head. In flight, both sexes flash deep-green wing patches. Look for them on shallow ponds and in flooded fields and listen for the male’s decidedly non-ducklike whistle. Green-winged Teals have closely spaced, comb like projections called lamellae around the inner edge of the bill. They use them to filter tiny invertebrates from the water, allowing the birds to capture smaller food items than other dabbling ducks.
This young male Green-winged Teal calmly paddles through the water at the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge near Sherman, Texas.

I had a visitor to our annex pole. Not sure if it is a green lynx spider or a green jumping spider.

On our visit to Sakansen we went through the Aquarium where we found some very cool reptiles. This is a Green Emerald Boa Constrictor or a Green Tree Boa.

At this time barrier wagons were still used and in this case they were redundant HEA 13.2te coal hoppers, of which there are four in this train. However the second, third and eighth wagons have had their hopper structures removed to create the first bespoke barrier wagons. This work was carried out by Currock wagon repair depot at Carlisle, the new 11.5te flat wagon's TOPS designation changing to RNA.
