"I'm called Little Buttercup, dear Little Buttercup,
Though I could never tell why.
But still I'm called Buttercup, Poor Little Buttercup,
Sweet Little Buttercup, I!"
Lyrics from "I'm Called Little Buttercup" from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore" with lyrics by William Schwenck Gilbert.
A few weeks ago, I received a new and beautifully hand painted German half-doll in the most lovely shade of yellow, which I must confess is not a colour I see a great deal of on half-dolls. Luckily it was lovely and sunny a few days after I received her, so I decided that I could not wait to photograph her any longer, and share her with you.
I decided to feature Little Buttercup (as I am calling her) in this shot, and because she has such a wonderful yellow outfit with a hint of blue from the ribbon straps of her hat tied in a dainty bow at her throat, I decided to feature her with yellow and blue pieces from my vintage haberdashery collection. Little Buttercup, a spool of azure blue Arma Lustre Machine Twist and a golden yellow unpierced spool of Eagle Machine Silk are set upon a backdrop of yellow netting embroidered with blue flowers. They are accessorised with some beautiful blue satin roses some vintage blue and white lace ribbon, a French silver étui featuring fine repoussé work of a rose, a pair of Victorian silver sewing scissors, several small Art Deco lemon yellow glass buttons with gold painted geometric patterns and a buttercup yellow Edwardian crosshatch pattern button made from pottery.
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, I know that my German half-doll featured as the topper for a rather bulky yellow and blue tea cosy that did not suit her fine and delicate features, so I removed her from it.
Arma Lustre Machine Twist was manufactured by The English Sewing Cotton Company Ltd. (specifically made at their specialised mills using imported Egyptian cotton). The English Sewing Cotton Co. was formed in 1897 as an amalgamation of several major British thread firms to compete globally. "Arma Lustre" was introduced as a heavily mercerised cotton option designed specifically for domestic lockstitch sewing machines. The use of a smooth, barrel-shaped wooden spool with a stamped bi-color paper label dates this reel to between 1898 and 1910, prior to the widespread implementation of mass cardboard cores and standardised synthetic dyes in the 1920s.
Eagle Machine Silk was manufactured by the Brainerd & Armstrong Company, and the Nonotuck Silk Company (Corticelli), and produced out of New London, in Connecticut. I have very few American spools in my collection, but this one arrived inside a beautiful antique walnut sewing box from the 1860s. The distinctive Americana eagle trade emblem with outstretched wings was a prominent trademark for high-grade New England silk mills supplying premium pure machine silk. During the 1880s when this spool was produced, American manufacturers supplied domestic markets with "about 50 to 100 yards" spools wrapped around squat, wide-flanged wooden bobbins specifically to solve threading and snapping problems in early mechanical sewing setups.
The Pandion company stands for the implementation of innovative and modern buildings with creative facade design. Another Pandion project is being realised in Nürnberger Straße, not far from the Tauentzien shopping mile.
OUTSTANDING FAÇADE DESIGN
Not far from two other new construction projects on Budapester Strasse this housing project with the unusual name “The Haus” is being built.
The striking façade design of the future building is already becoming apparent. Inside the building, 65 condominiums with areas between 29 and 148 square meters and a number of one to four rooms will be created.
Because of the safety measures implemented during Covid-19, there is a reduced collection of downtown Springfield, Mo regulars. Some, such as these couple of skate boarders, utilize the ghost town as a surrogate for their otherwise closed usual hang-outs.
I appreciate Dominic and his friend for inviting me to shoot them during their trick boarding session.
Happy 2022! I wish you good health in the new year, good luck (not excluding, of course, photographic luck), success in a variety of things, the implementation of your plans and the joy of anticipating a New Year's miracle!
С наступающим 2022 годом! Я желаю вам в новом году крепкого здоровья, удачи (не исключая, конечно же, фотографическую), успехов во всех неоложных делах, осуществления если не всего, то многого из того, что было когда-то вами задумано, радости предвкушения новогоднего чуда и счастья каждодневного бытия!
Frohes 2022! Ich wünsche Euch viel Gesundheit im neuen Jahr, viel Glück (natürlich nicht ohne fotografisches Glück), viel Erfolg bei verschiedenen Unternehmungen und die Vorfreude auf ein Neujahrswunder!
Bonne 2022 ! Je vous souhaite une bonne santé pour la nouvelle année, bonne chance (sans exclure, bien sûr, la chance photographique), du succès dans les choses les plus simples et une bonne mise en œuvre de vos projets !

Day 354. After spending a couple of days feeling under the weather and stuck in the house, I went on a short ride round the local woods with my son. We pass through a farm yard where there was laid out a random collection of rusty bit and pieces. I took a wider shot that's elsewhere on my photosteam, but for this shot I closed in on the rather intriguing pattern and texture of the of this old rusty implement that I guess was used to turn the soil on the field.
Press the key "L" to see full screen size - press the same key again to return to the original size. Press "f" to "Like", Press "c" to comment.
And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Doubling the Brick-Building implemented Greenhouse's Shadow doubling makes the look-and-feel more incisive.
The business end of a small carbon fiber brush for cleaning a phonograph stylus (needle) as safely as possible. The bristle cluster itself is ¼ inch (6mm) diameter; the overall length of the brush is just under 2⅜" (exactly 58mm) long.
The very fine-bristled brush, when used correctly, is a lot easier on the stylus and the fragile cantilever (stylus support arm) of a modern cartridge than the time-worn tactic of using your index finger to knock those little dust bunnies off the needle. Of course, keeping records clean minimizes the likelihood of those bunnies multiplying ;).
Ein Jahresweiser oder Dekadenbuch besitzt eine Seite für jeden Tag des Jahres, und auf jeder Seite jeweils ein Feld für zehn aufeinanderfolgende Jahre. Wenn man es einigermassen pflichtschuldig und zuverlässig führt, kann später die Seite für einen beliebigen Tag des Jahres aufschlagen und nachlesen, was man für diesen Tag über mehrere Jahre hinweg für erinnerungswert hielt.

A year guide or decade book has a page for each day of the year, and on each page a space for ten consecutive years. If one manages it in a reasonably dutiful and reliable manner, one can later open the page for any day of the year and read what one thought worth remembering for that day over several years.
For the second straight week, another typhoon has hit us. We still don’t have news about damages done by the second one; the first was devastating, leaving more than a 100 dead in its wake; acts of nature are beyond our control, but denuded forests and poor flood control implementation is man’s folly.
Today, I’m implementing a new policy that should please some of my Flickr friends.
I have been wearing some of you down with my voluminous series. Today, that stops.
Oh, I’m not going to quit telling stories, just not on Flickr. Here, I’ll post one photo of a bird, animal, place, or subject at a time, along with a link to my blog, where I’ll put the story and additional related photos. The links will take you out of Flickr for a moment, but you can easily return from my blog by clicking the return link there.
birdsandmusings.wordpress.com/2017/04/10/welcome-to-birds...
Perhaps no one will elect to go to the blog. At least, however, folks will have a better opportunity to do what I think most Flickr users want to do: quickly pop in to see what a Flickr friend is seeing, then quickly move on to the next....
If you have any feedback on this notion, I’d love to hear it....
Cheers! Have a great day! 😊

Vautour moine - Aegypius monachus - Cinereous Vulture
(Français + english versions)

Rémuzat / Septembre 2025
Je m'aventure sur un terrain que je ne maîtrise pas, en tentant une petite approche du thème du baguage et du balisage GPS des vautours :
Ici, on peut apercevoir une balise GPS accrochée sur le dos de ce vautour. Elle permet le suivi d'individus afin d’évaluer l’état général des populations, les déplacements, certains comportements, dans le cadre de plans de conservation des espèces.
Ce vautour moine est également bagué au niveau des pattes, avec un code couleur et un code alphanumérique : www.flickr.com/photos/tostaky2/54794539706/
Il y a beaucoup à comprendre sur ces méthodes. C’est un sujet que j’ai découvert cette année lors d’une formation en ligne et qui m’a surprise, car je n’en comprenais pas l’utilité au départ.
En réalité, cela s’inscrit dans une démarche de protection des espèces et s’avère crucial, notamment pour appuyer les demandes auprès des responsables politiques qui, n’étant pas sur le terrain, attendent des données chiffrées.
Ces dispositifs ont également permis le sauvetage de vautours (« Œil-Rouge », le Gypaète, a été sauvé 2 fois, si ma mémoire de lecture est bonne, grâce à son signal GPS, qui a permis de le retrouver alors qu'il était en grande difficulté).
Cela permet aussi une coopération entre groupes de travail et bénévoles, que ce soit au niveau national ou international, car les oiseaux n'ont que faire de nos frontières administratives.
En cas de décès, l'oiseau peut parfois être retrouvé grâce au gps et ainsi il est envisageable de déterminer les causes de la mort : braconnage, collision, prédation, maladie... Ainsi on peut tenter de réfléchir à la mise en place d’actions complémentaires.
L'Humain doit intervenir pour protéger des espèces que sa propre espèce contribue à faire disparaître. C'est magnifiquement tragique.
Mais depuis que j'ai compris l'intérêt des bagues (mettre des bagues sur les pattes des oiseaux pour espérer les identifier ultérieurement) et des balises GPS, ainsi que des suivis, je suis totalement en phase avec cela, même si, bien sûr, il serait préférable que la biodiversité ne soit pas en déclin et que ces actions ne soient pas nécessaires.
Pour ma part, la cause animale est centrale depuis mon plus jeune âge, et je contribue bénévolement de plus en plus à des actions de suivi et de protection.

Rémuzat / September 2025
I am venturing into unfamiliar territory by attempting a brief overview of the topic of vulture tagging and GPS tracking :
Here, you can see a GPS tag attached to the back of this vulture. It allows individuals to be tracked in order to assess the general health of populations, their movements, and certain behaviors, as part of species conservation plans.
This black vulture is also "banded" on its legs, with a color code and an alphanumeric code : www.flickr.com/photos/tostaky2/54794539706/
There is a lot to understand about these methods. It's a subject I discovered this year during an online training course, and it surprised me because I didn't understand its usefulness at first.
In reality, it's part of a species protection approach and is crucial, particularly in supporting requests to politicians who, not being in the field, expect hard data.
These devices have also enabled the rescue of vultures ("Oeil-Rouge” the bearded vulture was rescued twice, if my memory serves me correctly, thanks to its GPS signal, which enabled it to be found when it was in great difficulty).
This also enables cooperation between working groups and volunteers, whether at the national or international level, because birds are not concerned with our administrative borders.
In the event of death, the bird can sometimes be located using GPS, making it possible to determine the cause of death: poaching, collision, predation, disease, etc. This allows us to consider implementing additional measures.
Humans must intervene to protect species that their own species is helping to drive to extinction. It is magnificently tragic.
But since I understood the importance of rings (putting rings on birds' legs in the hope of identifying them later) and GPS tags, as well as tracking, I am totally on board with this, even though, of course, it would be preferable if biodiversity were not in decline and these actions were not necessary.
For my part, animal welfare has been a central cause for me since I was very young, and I am increasingly volunteering my time to tracking and protection initiatives.

Precioso edificio ferroviario de 1862.
Desde mediados de los 90 con la implantación de la Velocidad Alta en este tramo del Corredor Mediterráneo, esta pequeña estación fue desprovista de sus vías de cruce y apartado, quedando rebajada a apeadero. Finalizando así toda una vida dedicada a la expedición de trenes "Naranjeros".
Y es que hasta los 90, durante la campañas de cítricos, la mayoría de las estaciones de la zona tenían mucho trabajo preparando trenes con el preciado "oro naranja" que los Valencianos cultivamos con tanto cariño.
En la actualidad el transporte de naranjas se hace por camión.
__________________________________________
A beautiful railway building dating back to 1862.
Since the mid-1990s, with the implementation of high-speed rail on this section of the Mediterranean Rail Corridor, this small station was stripped of its passing loops and sidings, becoming a mere halt. This marked the end of a lifetime dedicated to the dispatch of "orange trains."
Until the 1990s, during the citrus season, most of the stations in the area were bustling with activity preparing trains loaded with the precious "orange gold" that Valencians cultivate with such care.
Currently, oranges are transported by truck.
The camera and lens were left in place for the shots; nothing was moved, resized or pasted out of place from exactly where it occurred (I'm not a fan of faked "big moon " shots).
The post-rise images were captured at an exposure that precluded inclusion of the foreground, so the presence of the static foreground captured at an exposure a couple of minutes earlier implements a bit of a time shift of the foreground from pre to post-rise.
Longmont, Colorado. It's hay harvest time and these things are used to accumulate hay into rows (windrows) so that it can be baled by another machine.
Reminds me of Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat, and Tears:
"What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel,…"
