“If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
Having finished loading the train at NRG on the Poor Fork Branch, C631-25 makes the train solid before pulling south back toward Loyall, Kentucky.
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.
They are lucky to be alive.
A good friend dug there nest up while digging post holes.
He moved the nest to a save place while being dived and bombard by mum and dad
They soon forgave him as he digging up some nice big worms.
While he put them on the side of the hole he was digging.
He hopes mum and dad and babies are doing well.
Good luck to the robins..
We start the week with this bonkers, but rather glorious ad for Bronco Toilet Paper, from a time when advertising copywriters were more robust in their approach!
B-59 has found a version of this ad "in situ" in a 1935 issue of Radio Stars magazine This would seem to suggest the 1930s as a plausible date/range for this cloacopapyrological image....
Collection: Mason Photographic Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1890-1910. Clothes and style would suggest much later. Probably early/mid-1930s

One of our regular foxes has the horrible condition of mange, as can be seen from this picture. It still has bright eyes and eats well (we see it daily), but untreated, the condition becomes serious and can cause death. My wife and I hate to see any animal, domestic or wild, suffer but what can you do to help such a creature...?
Well, fortunately you can obtain treatment from the National Fox Welfare Society www.nfws.org.uk/
who supply free treatment (although we have made a donation to them). The treatment supply arrived today. It is put out with food (honey sandwiches are best) which the foxes will eat but cats etc will leave alone. As this fox is one of the first visitors to the Wildlife Cafe each night we hope it will take the treated food and recover. I'll keep you posted and hopefully, in about a month, all will be well. Fingers crossed, eh?
Poor 43299 must be ashamed at having 'Vermin' splashed across it`s sides. It is photographed passing Marholm, near Peterborough on 30th September, leading 1E11 Aberdeen-Kings Cross.
Jasmine spent the entire day at the vet. She had her teeth cleaned for the first time and also had a small growth removed from her front paw that she had been licking all week. The staff said she was such a GOOD dog while there. She's home now...resting.
Poor boy looks petrified not sure what he thinks is going to happen.
Maybe it's what he hopes will happen?
Well if he thinks i am buying the drinks he can think again :-)
Oh thats not what he is thinking!! OK
Once again just so as you know we are not an item this is all just theater, an illusion to confuse the observer when in publicand that it does very well.
This poor old Riley looks like it's been here forever...and it has.
First registered in 1961, and taken off the road in April 1987...
25 years in the same hedge!

"The Dietrichstein Palace is an impressive three-story corner building in Olomouc on Horní náměstí opposite the astronomical clock. The reconstruction of two burgher houses from 1450 and their connection with neighboring buildings created a large three-winged palace. The facade with the main entrance faces Opletalova Street, the shorter wing faces the church of St. Moritz. It is a representative residence located in the compact development of the historic center of the city, a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
In the Middle Ages, there were three Gothic houses on the site, the rear of which adjoined the cemetery at St. Moritz Church. The reconstruction was probably started in the second half of the 16th century, when the house on the square was owned by the wealthy cloth merchant Joachim Jeppner. After the Battle of White Mountain, the house came into the possession of František of Ditrichštejn as a confiscation. It remained in the possession of the family from 1624 to 1802. In 1630–1631, a palace with a two-wing layout and a covered corridor to the choir in the St. Moritz Church was built on the site of two older buildings. František of Ditrichštejn entered the newly acquired house into the land registers. According to records from the city archive from 1653, he was exempted from paying city taxes by the grace of the emperor. During the siege of Olomouc in 1644, the house was damaged by artillery fire, and then underwent extensive repairs. In 1683, the Polish king Jan Sobieski was allegedly accommodated in the palace on his way to Vienna. Later, the ground floor of the house was used for commercial purposes, there was a pharmacy (1730) and a café (until the mid-19th century), and the other rooms were apartments. After the catastrophic fire in the city in 1709, the rear part of the palace was significantly damaged, and only necessary repairs were carried out in the following years. Archival documents from 1775 testify to the poor condition of the building. In connection with the abolition of the cemetery at the church of St. Moritz and the demolition of the surrounding wall, it was decided in 1788 to carry out a more thorough renovation of the palace. The master mason Jindřich Zeitler from Olomouc, working on the Ditrichštejn estate in nearby Lipník nad Bečvou, was commissioned to carry out the work.
An extensive extension was carried out in 1877–1879, when the house was owned by the couple Emilie and Eduard May. According to a design by Gustav Wiedermann, a section towards the church was added to the original core and the facade towards Opletalova Street was unified. The restaurant business (Schwechatská pivnice) was concentrated in the rear part of the house. In the next stage, in 1890, the facade in the historical part towards the square was modified.
The palace was owned by the city of Olomouc. In the 20th century, the ground floor was newly adapted for commercial and restaurant purposes, while the upper floors housed residential units and a fine art gallery. In 2011, the building was sold to a private owner.
Under the building facing the square is a preserved Gothic stone cellar, followed by a Renaissance cellar, both are vaulted with a barrel vault. On the ground floor, the ceilings with a barrel vault with lunettes, sectors and stucco targets at the top of the vaults have been preserved. On the first floor there are stucco and painted beam ceilings, the other floors are flat ceilings. The facade facing the square is seven-axis, on the ground floor six-axis with triple windows on the left side. The windows on the two lower floors are rectangular, on the third floor they have semicircular arches. The facade facing Opletalova Street is nine-axis with a three-axis central projection, highlighted by balconies on the first and second floors. The neo-Renaissance facade of the house is divided by cordon cornices, above the windows on the 1st floor there are semicircular Empire pediments, on the 2nd floor there are Renaissance ones. The northeast corner is decorated with a cylindrical bay window with a peaked dome and a turret, supported on the ground floor by four giants. The rear wings towards the church of St. Moritz are decorated in the classicist style.
Olomouc (UK: /ˈɒləmoʊts/, US: /ˈoʊloʊ-/, Czech: [ˈolomouts]; locally Holomóc or Olomóc; German: Olmütz; Polish: Ołomuniec [ɔwɔˈmuɲɛts]; Hungarian: Alamóc; Latin: Olomucium or Iuliomontium) is a city in Moravia, in the east of the Czech Republic. Located on the Morava River, the city is the ecclesiastical metropolis and was a historical capital city of Moravia, before having been sacked by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War. Today, it is the administrative centre of the Olomouc Region and the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic. The city has about 100,000 residents, and its larger urban zone has a population of about 480,000 people." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

This lady cardinal seems indignant about my taking her picture while she is in such a ragged condition. Can't really blame her.
Molting or moulting is a natural and necessary feather replacement for birds. It looks like her skin under the feathers is red.
This is the very first snow... October the fourth, getting excited

Bob's Shop on the corner of Newcastle Street and Trubshawe Street in Burslem, this view dating from July 2006.
I always like to do a bit of research before uploading to Flickr, so I turned to Street View to see whether Bob was still trading. Sadly, not only is the shop gone, but also the whole of Trubshaw Street, apparently demolished in 2011, the land still undeveloped in 2019.

(lost or left behind, sat in the tree and cried for over an hour 😓 . . . I'm pretty sure s/he was trying to hide behind the branch, hoping I couldn't see him/her! 😄)
Wolverhampton Stafford Rd at it's most gloomy was not a good place to work. This grainy and gritty shot of Peter's shows the interior at it's worst, disolving into the background is ex-GWR 6014 King Henry VII.
6014 was built in 05/1928, it became an 84A Wolverhampton allocated King 27/03/1954. 6014 was the locomotive chosed to receive "streamling" in 1935, a very half-hearted attempt consisting of a bulbous smokebox added on, straight splashers and nameplate, odd fairings to smooth the cylinders and a wedge-shaped cab roof, all were removed quite quickly except the wedge on the cab which was never removed and can just be made out here. 6014 was withdrawn 09/1962 and scrapped in March 1963.
*The original scan of these 3 Wolverhampton negatives was poor. They are very gainy being over exposed 35mm film but I had gone all out for detail with too much contrast and brightening. The result was highly detailed grain bleached highlights and featureless shadows. This new verrsion is better in so much as it is more atmospheric

A good LEGO friend of mine just happened to have a spare Kevin Hinkle minifigure, and decided to give it to me. The other personalised minifigures weren't too pleased, though.
