ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Gehakkelde aurelia
In Nederland was de soort aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw een vrij algemene vlinder. Daarna nam het voorkomen af, zodat het dier in 1925 zeldzaam was en in het noorden in het geheel niet meer werd waargenomen. In de dertig jaar daarna namen de aantallen toe, om vervolgens in de jaren zestig weer af te nemen totdat de soort alleen nog in Limburg en Noord-Brabant werd waargenomen. De eerste helft van de jaren zeventig bracht weer een korte opleving. Sinds de jaren tachtig van de twintigste eeuw breidt het verspreidingsgebied van de gehakkelde aurelia zich snel noordwaarts uit. Inmiddels is Nederland vrijwel geheel gekoloniseerd en is de gehakkelde aurelia een algemene standvlinder.

Chopped aurelia.
In the Netherlands, the species was a fairly common butterfly at the beginning of the twentieth century. Thereafter, the occurrence decreased, so that in 1925 the animal was rare and was not seen at all in the north. In the following thirty years the numbers increased, and then decreased again in the 1960s until the species was only observed in Limburg and North Brabant. The first half of the 1970s brought another brief revival. Since the eighties of the twentieth century, the distribution area of the chopped aurelia has been expanding rapidly northwards. The Netherlands has now been almost completely colonized and the hackled aurelia is a common butterfly.
ZAHLEN!

Male / upperwing.
Species: Plebeius argus.
This attractive little blue is most often associated with heathlands of southern England, where it can occur in very large numbers. However, in many places it is serious decline, mainly as a result of destruction of heaths and the shading out of the sparsely vegetated, sunny habitats it prefers.

....up on a hill, at the end of the road, behind a crocked sign, you'll find Smörgatan
Met up with Steve and Lucy at Swell woods, for a little macro session. A few bits and bobs about, but will be going back for the Globbies in the few weeks when they are out in numbers.
The real challenge is taking a street scene where no one is using a mobile phone. I failed at least three times here!
Another slide restoration, I'd guess from the 1980s, location unknown.
Usually when I restore slides they are really dark to look at, but this was the opposite and I thought it might be blank. I've managed to pull a fair bit of detail back.
The red & cream RT to the left was bought new by St Helens Corporation who bought 40. They were the only operator aside from London Transport who bought them. By comparison, London Transport bought 6956 in various forms. After service in London, they went everywhere across the globe.
It's mainly very expensive clothes for people who spend summer holidays on boats. With summer over, I don't think there will be many customers. There was only one boat left in the harbour after I saw the last three sailboats leave. The canal will now be closed until next summer.

THOMAS JEFFERSON ENSLAVED 600+ AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
Thomas Jefferson helped to create a new nation based on individual freedom and self-government. His words in the Declaration of Independence expressed the aspirations of the new nation. But the Declaration did not extend “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” to African Americans, indentured servants, or women. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration and called slavery an “abominable crime,” yet he was a lifelong slaveholder.
Lovely male in my East Sussex garden. I have them all year round, they breed nearby but numbers are now rising 35+ today 22-09-20
Prof. Pangloss is about to measure the world from within his home. This world, he thinks, can be expressed in numbers - from the tiniest atom to the farthest galaxy. Once you know the right number, he thinks, there are no limits to our understanding. This world is measurable, he says, and made for us to understand it. Fuji X-Pro3 plus Pergear fish-eye 5.6/10.

Windows of Opportunity" have been on my mind a lot. We are tentatively scheduled to take a May tour of Bryce & Zion canyons with Road Scholar in May of 2022. The COVID numbers are rising. If I were in my 40's , I would wait and say that there would be other opportunities "when life becomes more normal (safe)". I am in my mid-70's and healthy. There is still the thought in the back of my mind as to how many windows of opportunity will be in my future. We will decide as the time draws nearer.
I am reflecting, not complaining. We have weathered the pandemic well and our living situation is comfortable. I have also had many opportunities in the past to experience other places. The Irish rover in my genes still longs for a look beyond my present horizon, however, and it's a nagging feeling.
There will be one other post in this "windows of opportunity" series.

The springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern Africa. The sole member of the genus Antidorcas.
Active mainly at dawn and dusk, springbok form harems (mixed-sex herds). In earlier times, springbok of the Kalahari desert and Karoo migrated in large numbers across the countryside, a practice known as trekbokken.
A feature unique to the springbok is pronking, in which the springbok performs multiple leaps into the air, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) above the ground, in a stiff-legged posture, with the back bowed and the white flap lifted.
Primarily a browser, the springbok feeds on shrubs and succulents; this antelope can live without drinking water for years, meeting its requirements through eating succulent vegetation. Breeding takes place year-round, and peaks in the rainy season, when forage is most abundant.
Springbok inhabit the dry areas of south and southwestern Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies the springbok as a least concern species. – Wikipedia
One of the Sculptures decorating the Media City area of Salford quays, although I have taken the shot to use it in the foreground, it is actually supposed to depict the number 9, I assume media city is based on pier 9.
One of the first images I shot our recent trip to Salford quays in Manchester captured again in the blue hour, which I felt suited the mood very well.
