One of the million odd tulips that adorn the capital during Ottawa's annual tulip festival.
Thanks for viewing my photo, leave a comment if you wish.
There is something about this house that I thought compelling, but odd. It is newly constructed, but without much in the way of debris, and stands near the crest of a hill on a gravel track, almost near a cliff. The proportioning seems impossible - just two narrow stories, as if the remainder of the house hadn't arrived. I even wondered if it was a movie set [as there are a number of structures around built just for movies], but it seemed more substantial than that. Curiouser and curiouser.
Now I think that somebody dropped it from the sky, and it just happened to land right-side up, and undamaged.

Working up at Skipton this week and the odd snow shower in the early hours reminded me of 3 years ago almost to the day. First had already suspended services by the time I took this picture of my steed that day inbound for York with a service from Ripon. This was to be the last departure from York as conditions deteriorated further and HCT services were pulled and the last bus back safely meaning an early bath for all. 3 years on... another operator runs the Ripon - York service which was built up from nothing, HCT is now widely known as Connexions Buses but the Scania still goes on and on..
Yep yet another changing room photo. This time modelling a little black dress that surprisingly I liked. On the hanger it looked dull but on its ok but my boots look odd with it

Above is a photo of the male Bluebird nesting in my yard feeding the female I'm calling "Blondie." Apparently, this male has taken two females as mates, Blondie above and Brownie below (named for their head color - not terribly accurate, but easy to tell apart). I have seen the male courting and feeding both and the three are generally together. Both females have been seen going into the nest, which now has 5 eggs. The eggs came on 4 consecutive days, then a two day break, then a 5th egg.
Blondie has taken to sitting on the eggs and isn't good about letting Brownie in. I suspect that if Brownie is hoping to lay more eggs, she is going to have problems. I'll check nearby empty nest boxes for an egg drop. The two females just BARELY tolerate each other and have been seen rolling around in the dirt pounding on each other. Both females have also gone in and out of a nearby empty box.
The Great Swamp had a similar nesting trio a few years ago and was witnessed on their nest cam, so it's not unheard of. Females frequently mate with other males, producing eggs from different mates. It will be interesting to see what happens when the eggs hatch in terms of feeding and care of the babies.

Tara and I had lunch today and I brought along Tammy & Percy. I think Percy is feeling a bit left out amongst her Kenner friends. xD

For my money, the most interesting bus fleet in the whole of Portugal was that of Joao Carlos Soares of Guimaraes. My first introduction to it's delights was seeing (and hearing) a gleaming rear engined AEC bellowing though a sleepy Porto one Sunday morning. The vehicle concerned was of the same style as their No.66 in this photo and was bedecked with the firm's then trademark white walled tyres. From that moment I vowed to track the company down ... even if they had only the one. When I finally did so, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when it turned out that about 50% of the large fleet was AEC of varying ages and with little by way of standardisation!
Eventually I got to know the company well which resulted in a couple of 'business' trips supplying spare parts in a bid to keep the old girls operational. Sadly, nothing's forever and with the take-over of the business by Arriva, the days for AECs were numbered. JCS had modernised some of their fleet with Scanias, preferring them to the ever popular Volvo marque. There had, as in several Portugese fleets been some re-engining of buses, they had a Leyland 'Royal Tiger' (modern generation) with a Scania D11 engine, A Volvo with an AEC 691 and here, their only AEC with a Volvo engine.
Taken Sunday morning in Manchester... you'd have 2 b pretty drunk not to notice not only a cold foot but a 2" height difference in one of your feet!!!!
i realized after i took it, liked it and edited it that i should have removed all other pink hair ties. ah well, close enough. :P
HPPT!
I wasn't going to post this as I think it lacks decent focus, it should be that green leaf, but the framing was difficult. I just loved that single green leaf though and the awesome bokeh, so here you go.
