Its been an absolutely brilliant year for all types, colours and shapes of fabulous Faversham fungus and one of my favourite species, the Magpie Inkcap.....Life is funny, Max met up with another couple of dogs and had a good run around, the owners were very interested in my photographs and coincidently one of the ladies knew Melanie as a customer. We got talking and before I knew it I had volunteered to give a fungal safari to them and a few more people who have been fascinated by toadstools but didn't know too much about them or where to find them! So a socially distanced faversham fungus foray here we come!!!!!
The towers at the end of Perry Street, clad in glass and in white aluminum panels, are gentle sentinels on the western flank of Manhattan. They signal the rise, in New York, of contemporary architect-designed apartment buildings, a surprisingly recent phenomenon in this metropolis of disposable income and raw design ambition. And also a fresh new phase in the career of Richard Meier. Meier’s first major work in Manhattan, the Perry Street towers are a synthesis of sophisticated architecture, extraordinary site (panoramic views up and down the Hudson), and high-profile residents (gossip columns list Calvin Klein, Nicole Kidman and Martha Stewart as investors). These two towers have now been joined by a third Meier project, immediately to the south, at 165 Charles Street.
Not only is Perry Woods a beautiful place to walk but it is the place we go to gather Cob and Sweet Chestnuts for our Christmas nut puree and brittle to serve in cakes and to sandwich between meringue and for roasting over on open fire in the garden on bombfire night.....
47747 'Graham Farish' passing Croome Perry with a Manchester-Bristol Cross Country Service, back in August 2001.
GBRf-liveried Class 50s 50007 "Hercules" (painted up as 50034 "Furious" on one side) and 50049 "Defiance" lead the return Worcester to London Victoria Belmond British Pullman dining excursion past Croome Perry/Besford, Worcestershire.
37025 passes Croome Perry Wood, Besford, with 5V37 Washwood Heath-Barry on the 23rd of February 2016. This was lucky for 2 reasons. Firstly, I knew nothing at all about this before I arrived. I had work a few miles away, and just popped here for lunch!
Secondly, a very large, and very dark cloud was on the verge of swallowing up the sun, but in the end, it was relief all round, and a mainly happy gallery!
ODC-Weathered
Depending on which backroad I take I sometimes see this old weathered barn. The farmer uses it for storage. I guess the roof doesn't leak.
Another late afternoon at Perry Sandhills near Wentworth NSW.
According to geologists, the Perry Sandhills originated after an ice age (40,000 years ago) and are formed by wind erosion over thousands of years. The dunes are located just outside of Wentworth (6km from PO), and are a unique land formation of 333 hectares (822 acres) of continuously shifting sand dunes.
Skeleton remains of giant mega-fauna (kangaroos, lions, emus and wombats) have been found there. Replicas of these animals are now on show at the Pioneer Museum in Wentworth. Aboriginal tribes used this area to camp and hunt. Evidence of this is still being uncovered as the sands drift.

Shimoda
Die Bilder Perry Road #1 + #2 habe ich während der Japan-Reise gepostet. Sie sind im Album "Japan 2025" zu finden.
Shimoda ist eine wichtige historische Stadt. Doch weshalb eigentlich?
In der Edo-Zeit von 1603 bis 1868 hatte sich Japan weitgehend gegen andere Länder abgeschottet. Alle Ausländer waren des Landes verwiesen, manche auch getötet worden. Die Zeit der Abschottung war nach außen hin eine Zeit des Friedens, nach innen für manche Menschen nicht, denn eine gnadenlose Christenverfolgung führte zu Beobachtung und Verrat mit unglaublich vielen Folterungen und Hinrichtungen. Die ca. 300.000 bis 500.000 Christen zu Beginn dieser Zeit waren nahezu ausgerottet, bis auf einen kleinen Überrest, der es geschafft hatte, seinen Glauben geheim zu halten.
1853 erreichten die "Schwarzen Schiffe" von Commander Perry aus USA das Land und zwar in Shimoda. Die USA wollten Japan zum internationalen Handel zwingen. Das traf Japan völlig unvorbereitet. Gegen die militärische Übermacht der Schiffe konnten sie nichts ausrichten. So ging man auf Verhandlungen ein. Diese wurden u.a. in Shimoda geführt und letztendlich hier auch unterschrieben. Die Straße von der Küste zum Tempel, wo die Unterzeichnungen stattfanden, heißt heutzutage Perry Road. Die Veränderungen, die das mit sich brachte, brauchten ein paar Jahre. 1868 begann dann eine neue Zeit in Japan mit der Meiji-Zeit.

Shimoda
I posted the photos Perry Road #1 and #2 during my trip to Japan. They can be found in the album "Japan 2025."
Shimoda is an important historical town. But why exactly?
During the Edo period from 1603 to 1868, Japan largely closed itself off from other countries. All foreigners were expelled, and some were even killed. The period of isolation was a time of peace externally, but not for some people internally, as merciless persecution of Christians led to surveillance and betrayal, with an incredible number of tortures and executions. The approximately 300,000 to 500,000 Christians at the beginning of this period were virtually exterminated, except for a small remnant who had managed to keep their faith secret.
In 1853, the "Black Ships" of Commander Perry from the USA reached the country, specifically in Shimoda. The USA wanted to force Japan into international trade. This caught Japan completely unprepared. They were powerless against the military superiority of the ships. So negotiations began. These were conducted in Shimoda, among other places, and were ultimately signed there. The road from the coast to the temple, where the signings took place, is now called Perry Road. The changes this brought about took a few years. In 1868, a new era began in Japan with the Meiji period.
There wasn't the usual covering in bluebells this year in Perry Wood but they were pretty all the same :-)
Macro Monday -- summer picnic
Beautiful bubble bokeh in the neck of a bottle of Perrier, one of my refreshments of choice.
I took these images whilst skateboarding round Perry's Perry's paddock in Joondalup. It was late spring and the grass in the paddock was golden and orange with colour. A real "little house on the prairie". It really was beautiful sight.

Mount Perry is about 365 kilometres northwest of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and about 100 kilometres west of Bundaberg. The town is nestled in a valley near Mount Perry, the area's highest mountain. The Normanby Lookout is located on Normanby Range Road off Towns Creek Road from the Gin Gin-Mount Perry Road. From this overlook the Mount Perry Township and the surrounding countryside can be viewed
