Always a lot of seabirds on the beach in front of Dungeness A & B, as they feed off the "patch", probably this "flock"is made of mostly Black Headed and Herring Gulls, in various stages of moult,plus the odd Greater Black Back, Lesser Black Back, and possibly a Common Gull or two, a bit early for Terns......
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and if there is a pumpkin patch anywhere near me, you'll find me standing among the pumpkins. We grew these pumpkins (and the Indian corn) on a farm we owned many years ago. Looking at this photo brings back some very happy memories.That is what makes the field of photography so wonderful - it preserves memories. :)

I was starting to dig the polka dot pockets through the hole in my Loomstate jeans but I gotta make these things last cause they're my favorite pair.

Another ex-NP caboose, you have to wonder what happened to all the ex-Q hacks? Just guessing on my part, but the Q had a large fleet of incredibly ancient cars, many of them from the 1800's that the BN quickly retired and replace with relatively modern (1907?) cars from other roads. Not that they were in any great shape either, note that part of this car's siding has been replaced with a chunk of sheet metal or plywood.

You can tell the course by the colour of the overalls.
"The back of the overalls normally reveals the school, major, and starting year of the wearer.
"The more patches, the more experienced the party-goer.
"It is customary to trade sleeves with a friend. Some take an exchange of part of a leg to mean that the wearer has a steady girlfriend or boyfriend.
"Nearly everyone who wears overalls has a supply of patches in a pocket to trade with. The patch of your own school is traded for a new one with a student colleague.
"The patches must absolutely be sewn on, not glued."

Patch upon Patch
Well, winter can get into this old abandoned barn on the Crane Hollow farm, any which way. Except where it has been profusely patched. I don't know if the farmer missed any materials that he could physically use as a patch? I see patches of aluminum, fiberglass and steel corrugation and the odd latt and splatt here and there. I imagine the rusty corrugated isn't long for it either. Some of the rough-sawn planks were so poor, it is a wonder the boards got nailed up before they started breaking across those knots. Some might have broken as they were picked up from the bunk. I would like to have been a fly on the wall watching the farmer's work as he patched and patched. It confuses me. I'd say my Boy Scout Barn Construction Manual left out any of these techniques. Extraordinary. Boy is this shot is so jumbled, it was tough to pick from the jumble. This is probably one of the better shots of the mess.
The north wall is alive with the golden color of the mosses that have taken up residence on the shady siding. Holes were punched into the walls with impunity and then patched over with scrap boards or corrugated metal. I think the porch light must have been terribly convenient over in this corner. Heh,Heh. It must have been even better twisted so that it cast a deeper shadow under the lean-to.
This side of the barn has a lot of elements of visual interest to consider. But the north light is especially cold. Unfortunately the day is galloping for Eddie and his friend. They have probably burned a load of card space but I have been here before and I used the tripod so I could get the shot and still set the lens opening up to f/22 @ 1/8th/sec @ 52mm on the 24-70mm f/2.8G Nikkor Normal-Zoom. I was nearly starting to shake in the cold shade back here. I thought the misty light was pretty enveloping but not back here. Work quickly and maybe I won't freeze up. I am not lingering to stick my head in those holes! And I am working on this shot during Solstice and trying to decide if I will got back out when it is far below freezing. I guess it would take at least a skiff of snow on the ground.
Estou amando esta minha coleçãozinha, principalmente pq ela foi iniciada inspirada na de uma amiga querida, a Kátia Monteiro www.flickr.com/photos/cantinhodakatia/, e cresceu devido ao carinho de duas pessoas especiais na minha vida: a Cumadre www.flickr.com/photos/52555050@N05/ e a Lauritcha www.flickr.com/photos/37520520@N03/, que nas andanças mundo afora lembraram de mim!!!!

The patch is to handle the wear and tear caused by messenger bags (that bikers might wear, hence the pattern name). Once the patch is worn out, it can be replaced.

Today I bought some Sour Patch Kids after work. I didn't want to wait in the cold for my second bus, so I went into the drug store to buy crap I don't need. Then I stood outside in the cold and ate candy.
Patch is adjusting very well. He's very talkative and is a purring machine. He is also a face rubber. Doesn't like being picked up but he's getting used to it. I'm glad I decided to keep him. He's perfect for me!!!
