Numerically the latest Volvo Citybus with Fife was FRA108, which had just arrived with them after a year or so as a Volvo Citybus demonstrator. So was it a pure fluke that the number plate slotted in exactly right, following on from FRA107 (C807 USG), or had it been booked from new for that reason ? Hard to imagine they would have known that far in advance, so I suspect the former - or someone at Fife said "We'll have that !" when they realised it was a perfect fit.
It stayed until 2004, and then passed to West Coast Motors for 5 more years - did I get a shot of it at Dunoon depot ? I will need to go on a hunt to find out.
My colleagues on this trip, David, Bill and Derek, are all on display in this picture !

In my experience, Tawny is the least likely of the five regular breeding owls to be spotted out in daylight, yet numerically they are the commonest species. They usually tuck themselves away in holes, or among ivy, possibly to avoid hassle from other birds, which usually mob them. But they are creatures of habit, and there are a small number of well-known Tawny Owls that regularly sit out in the same open spot. This is one of those well-known Tawnies that inhabits an ash tree in suburban Sheffield. There were no other birders or photographers present when I visited but everyone walking past knew about the owl, and someone in a white van bellowed "toowit-toowoo" at me as he drove past. Their large eyes are adapted for night vision so they usually keep them closed in daylight, but this one would periodically take a peak at what was going on. This was even in bright sunshine, which must be difficult as their eyes always appear black unlike most other owls which can reduce their pupil size eg this Long-eared owl in sunshine: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/41752996645/in/photolist I suppose it must be like if we have an eye examination using atropine to dilate our pupils we are advised not to drive for hours afterwards because everything would look "overexposed".
And the title? Bruce Springsteen of course, although Manfred Mann's Earth Band recorded a version in 1977, and it was also the title of an enjoyable 2019 film about a Springsteen obsessed Asian teenager growing up in 70's Britain.
This is the begining of the serie I've taken in my steph mother garden. This is one of the Tulip we brought her back from Amsterdam :)
641, the first numerically of the South Notts 1 batch of E400s, has been treated to a heritage livery to commemorate 100 years of South Notts. Unfortunately the chosen shade of blue is rather like Stagecoach Steel Blue in that it appears to dull to properly photograph in most conditions, and the maroon a bit pink-ish. See a photo of South Notts 82 SVO for comparison
But I can’t complain too much when it’s our first NCT heritage livery since 676 left the fleet 7 years ago. Let’s hope its painted wheels last better than 627’s red ones did, as that’s managed to lose all four to grey ones now. Since I took this photo the front has changed slightly as the new contactless branding has gone above the blind (unhelpfully removing the frequency information) and the name Neil Parnell reappeared above the bumper.

A pair of freshly rapainted rebuilt GP40s (now classified as GP38-3s) idle in the yard at Rapid City.
The gray squirrel is numerically the most common squirrel on the East Coast. Gray squirrels are also known as black squirrels. This guy is from Williamsburg, VA. I also like the old fence with the hitching iron.

Partons Vite - Kaolin :
Allez danse, danse, vient dans mes bras,
Allez tourne, tourne, reste avec moi,
Allez partons vite si tu veux bien, dès le jour,
Le soleil brille très haut tu sais,
Mais j’aime ça, je t’attendais
Alors partons vite si tu veux bien, Sans retour…
Rit plus fort et parle-moi
De nos projets, de nos rêves tout ça
Donne-moi la main, embrasse-moi, mon amour
Le temps comme ami, moi je veux bien
Mais les amis ça va, ça vient,
Alors partons vite brûler le jour et la nuit
Evidemment, tu l’aimes encore,
Je le vois bien tu sais, et puis alors ?
Mais pour l’instant ferme tes yeux, passe ta main dans mes cheveux.
Je veux entendre, ton cœur qui bat, tu sais, je crois qu’il chante pour moi
Mais en douceur comme ça tout bas, comme un sourd
Mon cœur lui s’emballe, il vole haut, peut être un peut trop haut pour moi
Mais je m’en fou, je suis vivant pour de bon
Allez danse, danse, regarde-moi
Allez tourne, tourne, ne t’arrête pas
Allez partons vite, si tu veux bien, dès le jour
le soleil brille, profitons-en
Je t’attendrai, je t’aime tant
Alors vas-t’en vite si tu veux bien, sans retour
Evidemment, tu l’aimes encore,
Ça crève les yeux mon dieu, Tu l’aimes encore
Mais pour l’instant ferme tes yeux, passe ta main dans mes cheveux
[i]Allez danse mon amour ! Allez danse !
Faisons de nos enfants des droits !
Fait tourner le monde mon amour, fait tourner le monde[/i]
Allez danse, danse, retourne-toi
Allez tourne, tourne, ne t’arrête pas
Allez partons vite, si tu veux bien, dès le jour
J’ai manqué d’air je m’en souviens,
Toutes ses années sans toi sans rien
Même mes chansons se baladaient le cœur lourd
Evidemment, tu l’aimes encore,
Ça crève les yeux mon dieu, ça crève les yeux mon dieu
Mon dieu….
Lothian Buses operated Volvo B8RLE MCV eVoRa SJ70 HNZ - 87 - is pictured on Princes Street in Edinburgh with a service on route 30 to Clovenstone.
This vehicle wears the Lothian madder & white Fleet Of The Future livery in its fully revised configuration and is one of 30 buses of its type primarily allocated to route 30. I wonder how often a route with a particular number is primarily allocated a batch of a bus type of the same quantity as said route number? Must be quite a rare occurrence surely!

... I'm so tired at the moment... I don't even find courage to upload a picture per day... But I still take time to see your work!
Flamboyant... This tulip is like a flower in fire. She is also from Amsterdam :) A nice present for a French garden!

Numerically the last of the green Swifts, SM 538 is at Northfleet Garage on 2 February 1980 by which time it would have been close to being taken out of use having been a driver trainer for a short while. The original livery looks so much nicer than the insipid NBC green.
Numerically the last of the Olympians delivered to GMPTE. the subsequent order being diverted to Bexleybus as their E-KYR batch. 3278 - 3305 later appeared as the F-DRJs when the order was reinstated by GM Buses. Seen in 1996 in Piccadilly in the GMS version of Express livery.
"Statistically, nine out of 10 victims know their murderers. I wanted to write about the one per cent who didn't." So said author Eve Lazarus in the 10 January 2016 edition of The Province. As this passed without cavil or comment I must suppose the members of the editorial staff of that newspaper are no better at arithmetic.
The first numerical Platinum Enviro 400 MMC is seen on it's first day of service at Parkhill Estate on it's way to Birmingham.
The Platinum vehicles are almost reminiscent of the Timesaver Metrobuses which operated on the same service over two decades ago.

Numerically the first of 11 smart Mercedes Benz Citaros acquired from Kinchbus in December. They were refurbished and repainted at Blackburn, Lancashire prior to arrival. Several of this batch wear branding for service 38 (Glasgow - Paisley - Johnstone/Kilbarchan). Caught in beautiful afternoon Spring sunshine on Glasgow Bridge.
Having numerically been the oldest B10BLE in service in Aberdeen for a couple of years now, 62149 days are numbered with it due for withdrawal and transfer shortly once replacements arrive from Scotland East.
Seen here at King Street Depot with another recent cascade, 61230 which is now in use.
Though not numerically the first, RM8 was actually the first production Routemaster delivered. It was a Sidcup garage celebrity in February 1982 when I photographed it in Woolwich on route 161.
Numerically consecutive from the previous eastbound train 59202 and 59203 head west towards Merehead with the 12:38 service from Acton TC. This monster train, my lad reported 50 wagons, will have been formed from two trains from different origins around London at Acton. It will return loaded this evening, the loaded version having a 4,400T loading weight.
Ironically the last time I visited the area on 23 June 2017, the same pair worked east through Westbury at 23:30.
Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban
Numerically the second oldest bus in the Great North West service fleet, seen here at Queens Road Depot.
These haven't got much service life left, with the arrival of 66 plate E200s and the rest of the Plymouth Citybus B7 batch.
This is the first shot of the Dandelion set... This is hard to take with the wind... Have a nice week!
Stagecoach Manchester: 14006 (LF69 UXW) numerically the sixth of the new batch of 32 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 City/BYD electric buses to arrive at Sharston Garage.
it is captured here showing off the new green based livery as worn by these vehicles. Also as can be seen next to the vehicle are the charging points for these vehicles in the yard.

Numerically the first of Manchester's Metrolink trams - number 1001 - in some difficulty during the evening peak. As I recall, a points' failure had led to her becoming stranded across the junction with Mosley Street.
G M Buses 5123 (SND 123X), 4747 (A747 NNA), plus an unidentified Metrobus, line up to tip-toe gingerly past the stricken LRV, under the watchful guidance of a PTE supervisor.
Manchester, Mosley Street 17/06/1993.
