This one is for my dear friend, Miriam, who posted a beautiful shot of an Eden rose blossom some time ago. I'd never heard of this variety before that, but her photo prompted me to give it a try. I turned to the Jackson & Perkins catalog, found the rose, and ordered it. Ours has been in the entry garden for a few years now and is clearly having a good time.! So thank you, Miriam ! Slainte !

Daucus carota:
Daucus carota (common names include wild carrot, (UK) bird's nest, bishop's lace, and (US) Queen Anne's lace) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe, southwest Asia and naturalised to northeast North America and Australia; domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus.
Daucus carota is a variable biennial plant, usually growing up to 1 m tall and flowering from June to August. The umbels are claret-coloured or pale pink before they open, then bright white and rounded when in full flower, measuring 3–7 cm wide with a festoon of bracts beneath; finally, as they turn to seed, they contract and become concave like a bird's nest. The dried umbels detach from the plant, becoming tumbleweeds.[1]
Very similar in appearance to the deadly poison hemlock, Daucus carota is distinguished by a mix of bi-pinnate and tri-pinnate leaves, fine hairs on its stems and leaves, a root that smells like carrots, and occasionally a single dark red flower in its center.

The past times…
Build in the beginning of the 20th century, the domain contained the power station, administrative buildings, official residences and green spaces.
The powerplant was build to use coal,oil & gas as fuel.
The electricity production was put to stop in 2001, and the production of steam and hot water for district heating belonged now to the past, after the build of a new powerplant.
A small active part of this almost untouched power station still gives everyday power to some surrounded industries. Since part of the power plant is always active, there are guards and blue-collar workers who work in this place. So the buildings are relatively protected from human degradations. Thus, ECVB (AKA CEFB for Centrales Électriques des Flandres et du Brabant) is a fairly unique in terms of abandoned industry.
However, recently copper thieves are there and destroy this splendid place.
… to the present time
Until now, the only damage here is the result of nature’s efforts to reclaim its territory. Moss infected the turbines and machinery, plants and grass grew from edges of the rusty metalwork.
There are turbines, exhaust pipes, gauges, control rooms, pretty much everything you would expect for an industry urbex. The boilers, turbines, electrical systems and the equipment are still more or less intact, preserved. Besides some rust and peeling paint the station is covered with dust and asbestos. It is enough to a very small effort of imagination to see the blue-collar workers working in this old power plant.
A unique feeling
I particularly like these places haunted by gigantic rusted metal monsters which lead us in the post-apocalyptic universe of comic-strip of Simon Dufleuve or games such as imaginary landscapes Fallout3 or Resident Evil.

I was in the Kelvingrove area of Glasgow about to join up with the camera club when I came across this young woman with her two friends. I couldn't resist the temptation to ask her to turn round and smile.
What are you going to do ? I see these ground hogs (or huge gopher) always begging to have their photo taken :)
Another bluebell photo from the sloping Duloe Woods, near Looe. I think I might have been sitting here or slipped and resting! Hoping to return this weekend and hoping they are still there waiting for me.

Paddington Bear might live in London, but he hails from “deepest, darkest Peru.” So it should come as no surprise that a playground on Lima’s Miraflores Boardwalk is watched over by a statue of the beloved children’s book character, clad in his famous floppy hat and duffle coat—emblazoned with the British Union Jack, as a reminder of his adopted country far away.
This particular Paddington Bear had a long journey back to his homeland. He was commissioned for the “Paddington Trail,” a collection of Paddington Bear statues designed by famous Brits (comedian Stephen Fry, in this case) and stationed around London. When the trail ended, the statue was gifted to Peru to commemorate strong ties between the two countries. He is now perched next to a playground in Parque Salazar, overlooking the Bay of Santander in the Miraflores District of Lima.

Please come bringing new things.
Let very old things come into your hands.
Let what you do not know come into your eyes.
Let desert sand harden your feet.
Let the arch of your feet be the mountains.
Let the paths of your fingertips be your maps
And the ways you go be the lines of your palms.
Let there be deep snow in your inbreathing
And your outbreath be the shining of ice.
May your mouth contain the shapes of strange words.
May you smell food cooking you have not eaten.
May the spring of a foreign river be your navel.
May your soul be at home where there are no houses.
Walk carefully, well-loved one,
Walk mindfully, well-loved one,
Walk fearlessly, well-loved one.
Return with us, return to us,
Be always coming home."
-- Ursula Le Guin --
