This tree swallow was just sitting there when I clicked. Must have been a bad itch.
The osprey nest has a new addition. It was annoying the ospreys and I have no idea how it got there.
Not because I'm a slave to compositional rules but the three fishing rods and the curves of the beach caught my eye.
P050-30 departs Chicago on July 30, 2019. This can be a fun train to see as it hauls the cars and locomotives going for repairs at Beech Grove near Indy. Here the head end is mostly super liners, while the Cardinal train is on the rear. July 30, 2019.

Giraffe's are another animal I have not seen before and was excited to see.
I have seen them on tv and photos but it wasn't until I saw them up close did I realsie how different looking they actually were.
I was quite mesmerized by their long legs, that neck and the way they walked. What odd creatures. Beautiful but odd.
Sire Thomas Wildey Monument

Past Grand Master, Sire Thomas Wildey established the American charter for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Washington Lodge Number One), in 1819. He was buried in Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery, in 1861.

The four emblems of the IOOF are sculpted in the faces of the frieze of the entablature - the three links, the heart and band, the bundle of rods and the globe.

This was a test of my manual dexterity. I held a magnifying glass with my left hand and focused my Sony camera on the TAMRON | SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD lens mounted on my Canon 6D.Oddly enough a book in the distant background fell into focus. The two short red, glowing bars are elements of an electric fire place in our front room.

The left one is her usual Milky #48 + Milky #08 Half gradation + Milky #26 Rim + Pupil #4.
The right one is Milky #26 + Milky #48 Half gradation + Milky #35 Rim + Pupil #4 that I ordered out of curiosity. Not bad in her but I still prefer her usual one better.

With a bit of imagination you could think Valencia must be a place of magic and witchcraft. Well, it is.
On our social media feed www.twitter.com/MoTGM we sometimes post a 'mystery location' photo inviting people to guess where the photo was taken. This wouldn't be the best example to use - it's quite clearly at the hamlet of Slattocks on the Rochdale municipal borough boundary as we watch a Manchester City Transport bus swish past on its way back towards its home city.
The 17 was a long-established service, that once upon a time had run between Bacup and Flixton but by the early 1930s had settled down to run Manchester - Rochdale. This is a route that's still fundamentally the same today and in fact, 17 is the longest-serving service number in Greater Manchester that still applies to the same route.
Manchester's share of the 17 service was fulfilled by Queens Road garage, a very big facility that served many passengers along the Cheetham Hill Road and Rochdale Road corridors. In fact 'Q', as it was known, had so many services and destinations that there were too many to fit on one destination blind. The solution was to have two blinds - one for Rochdale Road services, and one for Cheetham Hill Road - so the next step was to make sure the wrong bus didn't go out on the wrong service, so the Cheetham Hill Road blinds were fitted to uses whose fleet number ended in an even number; and the Rochdale Road blinds were fitted to buses whose fleet number ended in an odd number.
In the 1950s, it became possible for all services to go on one blind as blind material became thinner and services started to be rationalise. But old habits die hard, and in any case it took a few years to update all the blinds, so for many years you were much more likely to see an 'odd' bus than an 'even' one on Rochdale Road, and vice versa on Cheetham Hill Road.
So 3273 would have come this way many hundreds of times before, and would do so only a few more times before it was withdrawn in March 1969. None of these 'salmon tin' Manchester Leylands survive, but we have several similar Manchester buses on display in our museum.

Carrying the fast fading Virgin red stripe livery, 43307 pauses outside the impressive Carlisle Citadel Station Roof. The Powercar was tailing 1E19 from Edinburgh but, after a run over the Newcastle-Carlisle line, would do the honours into Kings Cross. This powercar was the only vehicle in the consist to not be carrying the full VTEC colours.
British Airways Airbus A319-131 G-EUPJ is the odd one out of the four 'planes given 'retro' colours for the airline's centenary, in that the other three are Boeing 747s (which design actually carried the three different liveries they now wear), whereas the BEA livery pre-dates this type by around 50 years! The nose and cockpit area actually looks somewhat reminiscent of the Hawker Siddeley 'Tridents', which wore this livery from their introduction in the 1960s.
the weathers rather odd today,
one minute it's hailing,
the next minute
the sun is beaming down...
whilst all that is going on outside,
i made an oversized pillow sham inside the shed...
Odd was happy to see some blue sky again!
The weather was crazy for the last few days here in the Netherlands.
On thursday there was so much rain..
The amount of rain that normaly falls in the whole month of august fell in that one day :(
Odd was in the car with me when we had to drive on the highway in that white wall of rain... it was no fun at all.
Odd was screaming like crazy, what made me a bit nervous, but we made it home!
