...My Car is the red one at the back.. and is a impostor as is a Citroen!
I had to take my car in for a MOT (Warrant of fitness) so took a walk around the City to catch up with the earthquake rebuild. It started to rain so I went and saw a film. Christchurch March 2, 2018 New Zealand.

The Grackle was intruding on the RWB's territory and it started off saying as much from the opposite end of the Wood Duck box. The CG was unimpressed, so the Blackbird moved in closer and did this, which I'm guessing was supposed to be an epaulet display but seemed pretty odd. The Grackle remained unimpressed.

A Strange Tree
I saw a strange tree standing on top of the rice terraces. The tree looked odd, and the peering cloud behind it made it look even odder.
It really looked like this. Processing limited global adjustments.
All right boys and girls! Raise your hand if you know who is pictured on the wall -- Jerry Garcia, Admiral General Aladeen, Karl Marx or none of the above? I found this wierd posting somewhere along West 23rd Street in New York City. June 4, 2015. Photo by Alecsey Boldeskul.
Sire Thomas Wildey Monument
architectural style: neoclassical, Grecian Doric
architect - sculptor: Edward F. Durang
dedicated: 1865
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.
Atop the doric column is a life-size statue of the widow Charity (protecting orphans) and two children.
The dado (pedestal) bears bas reliefs of symbols of the Order. On the southern face is the seal of the Grand Lodge of the United States. Carvings of Faith and Hope are featured on the eastern and western facings.
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.

Sorry but I like these guys!!
Who do you think is the odd one out (in my opinion) and why? the winner could potentially win some Kudos.... (aka nothing except a 'well done').
This is a pic of some beads I use to make my own jewelry...
The other night I pulled these out to do this shoot (because I love these beads...they're glass beads) and when I saw the odd one...(the blue one) it reminded me of how I (and I'm sure you too) feel at times like the odd one out...whether amongst family, amongst friends or even in a crowd of strangers!
Be happy,be well always, my dear flickr buddies! :)
ODC - What doesn't belong

Well it is pretty obvious what doesn't belong 8)

I thought it was time to start getting some shots of my new neighbourhood in Preston (Cambridge), Ontario. This is the old Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Hall, which stands a block south of me on Duke Street. It housed both the Odd Fellows (male) and Rebekahs (female). It was founded in 1875 (I believe). I guess it's a sign of the changing times, but lodge membership has shrunk to such a degree that the members had to sell off the building about a year ago. It has been bought by an insurance agency, and is currently undergoing a retrofit. The workmen are replacing the old cornice. Glad to see that the building is being retained.
Here's a link to the IOOF website
We had some really high winds here followed by (more) snow; when I ventured out this morning there were some orphaned Christmas ornaments which had blown down the street and ended up in this snowbank.
Another in my shiny surface self portrait series :)
I like the barely visible stop sign across the street.
A Common ringed plover and a Sanderling foraged together like an old couple on the banks of the Douro River in the early evening. When they weren't walking side by side, they took turns walking a little ahead and then waited for the other to come.

This "odd-couple" scene was photographed on route 9, known as "The Airline", which runs between Bangor and Calais, Maine. A Canon 6D with a Holga wide angle lens was used.
Not sure as to why this is heading into Portsmouth, but gave me an excuse to get out of the house for 30 minutes. Condor vessels have been refitted at the dockyard in the past, but that's not the case here. as it's due out again at 13:30 today.

Our onward journey to Lasi (which is pronounced Yash for some reason) saw us pass through Vaslui where a small fleet of trolleybuses once operated but the operator struggled to keep them on the road and the last one ground to a halt around 2011. Interestingly enough all the overhead has since been renewed throughout to a very high standard possibly the best in Romania with metal poles instead of the usual crumbling concrete, unfortunately as good as the overhead is Vaslui have no trolleybuses to operate under it and none on order, apparently there is now no money to purchase any new vehicles so who knows what the future is for this town. There was as expected very little of interest bus wise except this odd thing at the back of the small bus station, I think it’s an early Roman Diesel and was one of only a couple seen on the trip.
In a fleet dominated by Atlanteans, this Daimler Fleetline was certainly the odd man out. It was cheap, so what the hell!
I haven't a clue what exactly is going on with this image. The negative appears to have been manipulated but it is difficult to see anything that makes sense.
Independent Order of Odd Fellow's building in Longmont Colorado. The IOOF still gather at this location. Probably the only old tile entrance left on Main Street in Longmont. They widened the sidewalk and poured the concrete right to the doors, so what ever was there is now gone. This survived because the tiled IOOF actually goes up a step.
I have 2 other tiled doorways in Colorado, specifically in Denver. I'll have to dig them out.
