Four drakes and a hen mallard heading north on a late afternoon at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge.
Plus simplement , j'ai attrapé cette image au vol en voiture , il y à un mois à peine .Aujourd'hui , il n'en reste plus rien . Ces magnifiques arbres ,s'étaient épanouis en surplomb d'une route . Tout le flan de montagne qui les hébergeait depuis des lustres ... à été rogné pour élargir cette route touristique .
Résultat , d'un côté vue sur mer , de l'autre vue sur un mur minéral , plus grand chose de touristique .
J'aimais tant ces arbres , curieusement , le cliché était intéressant par ce jour de temps maussade , presque prémonitoire .
When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!

Drive slow
Where we goin', ain't no time zone
'Cause my home
Is wherever you and I go (let's go)
Got all this life, but I'm not livin' here without you
Got all this time, don't wanna spend it all without you
And I know
We gotta fall in with our eyes closed
I just need you tonight
'Cause I don't wanna waste the rest of my life
All I need is you plus me, every day of the week
Minus the distance
I just need you tonight
'Cause whenever you stay, I feel so alive
All I need is you plus me, every day of the week
Minus the distance...

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.
Design
The development of the Plus 8 was led by Maurice Owen, an engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified chassis from the Plus 4, altered to accept the Rover alloy block 215 cu in (3.5 L) V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Plus 4's Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited-slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, 1995 the body widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis and the wings widened to accommodate larger tires to handle the increasing power and trend for lower profile and wider tires. The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches (1,400 mm) wide and the last was 64 inches (1,600 mm) (with an optional "widebody" at 67 inches (1,700 mm)) From the 1960s and (according to all auto magazines) through the 1980s for acceleration between 20-80mph, the Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car. To this day, early Plus 8s are frequently the winners in the 1960-1970 class in the UK.
In 2002, Morgan created a "LeMans Edition" with similar exterior feature to the 1960s Plus 4 LeMans winner. In 2003, Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. The original brochure also referenced the fact that the Plus 8 was to be discontinued the following year.
Following the discontinuation of the Rover V8, production of Plus 8 ended in 2004. A revised Aero, powered by a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, was placed on an Aero chassis, with Aero 8 suspension, axles, brakes, steering, gearbox, and altered wings was introduced in 2012, They also called this model "Plus 8" and it was sold concurrently with the Aero 8 from that date until the elimination of the Aero line-up in 2020.
In 2014, Morgan created another edition called the Plus 8 'Speedster' models based on the later Aero configuration noted above. It began as a limited edition, but production was not limited to the originally advertised 60 examples. This limited run forwent the traditional roof in favor of a small fly screen and hidden roll bars behind the front seats. Pitched as an entry-level Plus 8 model, they went on sale for £69,999.
O Columnas de Hércules. Son dos torres gemelas de 126 metros de altura en el municipio de Los Barrios; Cadiz, simulan las dos Columnas de Hércules del estrecho de Gibraltar, donde en la antigüedad decían que se acababa el mundo, de ahí el Non Plus Ultra, (que esta incrustado en su fachada dicha frase) que significa; ‘No existe tierra más allá"
So, what do you get a very-curious-about-everything man who acts like it's his seventh birthday?
After taking the shot in the first comment box below, I casually said, "Those would be kind o'cool for a photography opportunity-slash-experiment." Well, wouldn't you know the Amazon driver shows up a couple of days later. Fascinating how that kind of thing happens, really.

Na eerst een paar dagen in de Harz te hebben doorgebracht, stonden nu meerdere dagen aan het Werratal op de planning. Dit keer weer 'Dampf trift Kies', met de locomotieven 41 1144-9 (IGE Werratal), 41 1150-6 (Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum), 52 8079-7 en 02 201-0 (beide Dampf Plus). Op de derde en laatste dag (zaterdag) reden de 41 1144-9, 41 1150-6 en 52 8079-7 diverse goederentreinen tussen Eisenach en Meiningen. Als finale trokken deze drie locs de zware kiezeltrein vanuit Immelborn naar Eisenach.
After having spent a few days in the Harz, several days at the Werratal were on the schedule now. This time again 'Dampf trift Kies', with the locomotives 41 1144-9 (IGE Werratal), 41 1150-6 (Bavarian Eisenbahn Museum), 52 8079-7 and 02 201-0 (both Dampf Plus). On the third and last day (Saturday), the 41 1144-9, 41 1150-6 and 52 8079-7 ran various freight trains between Eisenach and Meiningen. As a grand finale, these three locomotives pulled and pushed the heavy gravel train between Immelborn and Eisenach.
Nach einigen Tagen im Harz standen nun mehrere Tage im Werratal auf dem Programm. Diesmal wieder „Dampf trift Kies“, mit den Lokomotiven 41 1144-9 (IGE Werratal), 41 1150-6 (Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum), 52 8079-7 und 02 201-0 (Dampf Plus). Am dritten und Letzter Tag (Samstag) fuhren die 41 1144-9, 41 1150-6 und 52 8079-7 verschiedene Güterzüge zwischen Eisenach und Meiningen. Als krönenden Abschluss zogen diese drei Lokomotiven den schweren Kieszug zwischen Immelborn und Eisenach.
Am vergangenen Donnerstag verbrachte ich mit meiner Freundin Simone und vier Schweizer Fotografen - Katharina, Karin, Françoise und Stefan. (ein kleines Flickr-Treffen also) einen Tag in Bremen.
Hier zeige ich euch eine der schönsten Seiten der Bremer Altstadt. Hinter mir befindet sich das Rathaus und rechts (nicht im Bild) die riesengroße Rolandstatue. Trotz des kühlen Frühlingswetters waren diesem Nachmittag alle Plätze vor den Cafés besetzt. Ein Seifenblasenkünstler fesselte die Aufmerksamkeit der Kinder an der anderen Seite des Platzes und der Himmel zeigte sich fast ganz blau. Nur ein kleines Wölkchen wanderte langsam in Richtung Weser...
wer auf das Bild klicken mag, entdeckt noch ziemlich viele Details... wimmelbildgleich... ;-)
