Realizing I'm a year and a half behind on posting pics, I'm going to try posting by month, and play a bit of catch up. Presenting January of '17 (Pardon all the blurry pics :P).
While Flickr will always have the most images of each outfit, follow me on Instagram (/secretjess42) to see the latest pics!
posting some more shots from "before sunset" as a spring refresher/palette cleanser
there is so much going on it makes celine's kitchen seem messy. actually the dishes are done and it's just that a lot is stored on teh counters. i'm guessing the juice bottles are due to a half size fridge. lord knows you can't get a cold drink in paris.
I'm playing catch up on posting my files of juvie Hummers. While this may seem repetitive to viewers, I've given permission to birding pros to use my images... they access Flickr to access these images.
In the fall months here, there are more juveniles that appear to be adult females than actual adult females. Both sexes of first-year Hummers look much like adult females. You have to take multiple shots and look closely at the gorget area for metallic greens and reds. These juvies had a few such flakes at the margin of the gorget.

A day late posting for a rightful reason!
On Monday night I once again rigged the trap up on timer (early to bed for me at 9) and was quietly confident that I would get a pretty nice catch come the morning.
The conditions were perfect if a little breezy, but with a minimum of 16 degrees, a little rain sometime in the night I couldn't have asked for better.
Getting up bleary eyed and rubbing my eyes I could not believe it!
The trap was probably the fullest it has ever been in my 2 years of trapping here. Moths adorned most of the Perspex collar, and every hole of the egg boxes had at least one moth in it.
Macro Highlights were a second garden Small Ranunculus, new for garden Dingy Footman and Large Twin-spot Carpet and the trio Coxcomb, Maple and Pale Prominent.
Micros were headed by a first for me, the lovely marked Athrips mouffetella.
A slightly knackered Currant Pug which just would not lay flat and kept adorning a ‘Thorn-like’ posture… I didn’t record this species last year.
Also a worn Epinotia abbreviana after much identifying was a garden first.
All the moths were pretty lively for their photo-shoots, well apart from a very dozy Pale Prominent.
66 Macros and with only 10 less species of Micros at 56, it really was a stonking night.
Tonight looks warm and muggy again, I can’t top this list surely!

I make no excuses for posting more photos of this fantastic retro garage on the Hertfordshire Essex border. It's almost trapped in time and three years on from my last visit nothing has changed here for decades. It is believed to be the last site still carrying the Spur logo although there was a time when their range covered a lot of Hertfordshire and Essex and even down into Kent. Spur are still active as a heating oil supplier and their tanker lorries are occasional seen trundling around this area.

I am posting two today just to keep the sequence of the lark with her babies. They sure were hungary !!!!!!
Well...I wanted to do my weekly upload, but don't think I'll have time to do a real upload, so instead I'm gonna try out some of my panoramas and see what happens to them out in the wild.
This set is from Peace Prayer Park.
This is from the cliffs on the very south side of the park.
According to Royal Mail, items posted by Special Delivery today will still get to UK addresses on time for Christmas day... At this time, I am especially grateful to the posties who trudge through all weather conditions to bring us our Christmas mail.
So, I keep posting pictures of myself in skirts even though I wear trousers 90% of the time. I guess that I think my normal outfits are boring. Anyway, this one is:
- Lane Bryant Right Fit jeans from sometime in the aughts. (the pear shaped kind, obv.)
- Yet another one of my six year old Target cotton/wool sweaters that I paid $10 each for and that turned out to be one of my best bargains ever, because I've been wearing them all the time for years and they never wear out.
- A cotton/spandex shirt from Winners (also know as TJ/TK Maxx), 2008, maybe?
- A cloth necklacy thing my mom in law gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago
- Earrings that I got at the Polmodie car boot sale for £1 last week.
- A brand new pair of ankle boots that my mom got me for Christmas when she was visiting recently.

I couldn't resist posting something, I'm so proud and excited. It's a terrible picture, but there are my suspicious new boys.
Basically, I answered an internet ad for a woman who was giving rats away, along with a cage, for free. My friend Marianne, who has a zoo of her own that includes rats, kindly came with me to offer moral support (and her husband Kevin generously provided his services as a driver--I wouldn't have been able to do it without them). The "free" part turned out because the cage is broken and the rats are feeder rats for her snakes--she had them in a shit-smeared tupperware container. The rats were unnamed and untrained. The apartment stank of filth and animal waste, and when she opened the container, her six- or seven-year-old daughter began shrieking with glee and punching the rats on their backs while they panicked.
The stupidest thing possible is to take an animal that is clearly unsocialized from an irresponsible owner. They're probably aggressive. They may very well be sick. I know this very well. I know, I know, I know. But I also knew that if I left them there, I wouldn't be sleeping for a long, long time.
And we grabbed two of the three males (the females would probably be pregnant)
that didn't actively try to bite a hand put near them and we got the hell out. The woman told us that she had just cleaned the cage and we had to drive with the windows down because it stank so much; who knows what it was like before it was "clean."
At home, I emptied all our wastepaper bins and took every accessory and put it all on the balcony to soak in a mixture of soap, vinegar, and hospital-grade disinfectant. And then I stripped and put the cage in the shower with a brush, a brillo pad, and a sponge and just went to work. Then I put it all on the balcony and sprayed it all heavily with disinfectant and just let it sit for half an hour before wiping it down.
And now Kehua and Maihara have a clean, quiet home. I spent some time cooing to them and feeding them muesli through the cage bars, and they've been cleaning themselves and each other like crazy. They already have two totally different personalities. Maihara, a hooded with a grey head and dots down his back, is a bit of muscle. I believe Kehua, the easily spooked little ghost, is a Himalayan (half pink-eyed albino and half siamese), and therefore he is very beautiful but almost blind, with a poor sense of smell and coordination. Don't you love pure-breeding? Grrrr... At least his sense of hearing is normal, and he needs to have a constant murmur of reassurance more than Maihara does.
Interestingly enough, when they were in the dirty cage waiting for me to clean the new one, they were defecating all over the place, and I was so disappointed because I've read rats naturally lean to being housetrained and I'd missed my opportunity with these. But once they were in the clean cage, they immediately scratched a little place in one corner and poo nowhere else.
They are incredibly nervous and jumpy, understandably, and any sudden move or noise causes an explosion of scuffling. I'm already in the habit of sing-songily calling out all my moves: "Nobody panic, I'm getting up!" "Nobody panic, I'm pouring a juice!" "Nobody panic...!" Funnily enough, it seems to work--obviously they don't understand the words, but I think they get the idea and seem to be calmer, though they still flinch and flatten to the ground if you raise your hand suddenly.
I don't know how I thought I could know true happiness before I saw two freshly cleaned rats in a quiet room lay their heads on each other's shoulders, close their eyes, and sigh.
I felt like cheating everyone. Here I am still mucking around in flickr. My flight is not until tomorrow (Friday). Originally I thought I will be busy packing tonight...
The Garrison Church is officially named the Church of the Holy Trinity. It has been more popularly known as The Garrison Church because of the numerous regiments at the nearby Garrison worshipped there in the 1840's.

In posting shots on other social media last year, it seemed that my shots at Ruckinge were not as complete as they should have been.
I did call in last year, but due to COVID, the church was locked.
On Saturday, we were in Ham Street so I could hunt butterflies, and surprisingly, Ham Street has no church within the village, instead there is Ruckinge and Orelestone to the north and east.
Orelestone I only visited last year, so have not been inside, but Ruckinge I last saw inside in 2014.
Saturday mornings there is a regular coffee morning in the shop, and I arrived just after midday as the refreshments were being packed away. Another role into which parish churches step into as other civic buildings are sold off up and down the country.
The tall, squat dower is visible from half a mile away, towering over the mature trees between. Clearly an ancient construction, Norman for sure, and topped by a wee little steeple.
Being a glorious day, I walked round the outside of the church, recording some of the finer details, like the tympanums over the west and south doors.
-------------------------------------------
A large church of Norman origins, the west door being a much-weathered example of twelfth-century work. The south doorway is also Norman and has the remains of two mass dials carved into its dressed stonework. The masonry inside the church shows clear signs of fire damage, and a nice crownpost roof of the fourteenth century probably marks the date of the rebuilding after the fire. Of the same period are the returned stalls on the south side of the chancel - the fronts being little more than a series of plain upright planks, with some spectacularly proportioned poppy-heads at each end. Outside, the upper stage of the tower dates from the thirteenth century and has a small pyramidal roof with needle spire.

RUCKING
LIES the next parish westward from Bilsington, for the most part upon the clay-hills. It is written in Domesday, Rochinges, and now usually called and written Ruckinge. Part of it, in which the church stands, is in the hundred of Newchurch, and another part in the hundred of Ham. That part of it which is below the hill southward is in the level of Romney Marsh, and within the liberty and jurisdiction of the justices of it, and the residue is within that of the justices of the county, and within the district of the Weald.
The PARISH lies so obscurely as to be but little known, it is a dreary unpleasant place, the roads are very narrow and miry, as bad as any in the Weald, the soil being a deep miry clay; that from Limne, through Bilsington, Ham-street, and Warehorne, crosses this parish on the side of the clay-hill, inclining nearer to the Marsh. The church stands on the side of the hill, overlooking the Marsh, which lies at the foot of it southward. The upper or northern side of it is mostly coppice wood. It contains about 930 acres of upland, and as many of marsh-land. There is no village, the houses being dispersed about the parish, and are mostly inhabited by poorer sort of people.
IN THE YEAR 791 king Offa gave to Christ-church, in Canterbury, fifteen plough-lands in Kent, among which was this estate of Roching, together with several dennes, for the feed of hogs, in the Weald; (fn. 1) but it was afterwards wrested from the church, during the Danish wars, and it continued in lay hands at the time of the conquest, soon after which it appears to have been in the possession of Hugo de Montfort, from whom archbishop Lanfranc recovered it again to his church, in the solemn assembly, held on this occasion by the king's command, at Pinenden-heath, in the year 1076. This estate coming thus into the hands of the church, on the division made of the revenues of it between the archbishop and his monks, was allotted by him to the latter, and the possession of it was confirmed to them by king Henry I. and II. In Somner's Gavelkind, is a transcript of a release anno 17 Edward I. of the base services of several of the tenants of this manor (gavelkind men) who brought them out, and consequently it was a mere change from service into money, by the mutual consent of lord and tenant. King Edward II. in his 10th year, granted to the prior and convent of Christ-church, free-warren in all their demesne lands in Rucking, among other places. In which state this manor continued till the suppression of the priory, anno 31 Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, where it did not remain long, for the king settled it by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, on his new-erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it still remains. The heirs of the Rev. Dr. James Andrews, lately deceased, are now entitled to the lease of it. There is no court held for this manor.
The OTHER PART of this parish, not included in the above grant of king Offa, seems to be that which Cuthred, king of Kent, in the year 805, with the consent and leave of Cœnulf, king of Mercia, gave to Aldbertht his servant, and Seledrythe the abbot, being two plough-lands in Hrocing, situated on both sides of the river Limene, to hold in perpetual inheritance, free from all regal tribute, &c. (fn. 2) Soon after the Norman conquest Hugo de Montfort was become possessed of lands in this parish, some of which were those which had been given by king Offa, as above-mentioned, to the priory of Christ-church, which were again recovered from him by archbishop Lanfranc, at the great meeting held at Pinenden. The residue continued in his possession, and are accordingly entered in the survey of Domesday, under the general title of the lands of Hugo de Montfort:
Ralph, son of Richard, holds of Hugo half a suling in Rochinges, which Leuret held of king Edward. It was taxed at half a suling. The arable land is two carucates. There are now twelve villeins having one carucate and an half. Of wood the pannage for one hog. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth fifty shillings, and afterwards thirty shillings, now fifty shillings.
IN THIS PART was the MANOR OF WESTBEREIS, alias Rokinges, which seems to have been once accounted as a moiety of the manor of Rucking. The former of these names it appears to have taken from the antient owners of it. After this name was extinct here, which was before the reign of king Henry IV. this manor was come into the name of Prisot, and in the 21st year of king Henry VI. was owned by John Prisot, who was that year made a sergeant-at-law, and in the 27th year of it knighted, and made chief justice of the common pleas, (fn. 3) in whose descendants it continued till the 8th year of king Henry VIII. when Thomas Prisot passed it away by sale to George Hount, in which name it continued till the 9th year of queen Elizabeth, when it was sold to Reginald Stroughill, usually called Struggle, who was in the commission of the peace in king Edward VI.'s reign, a name of antient extraction in Romney Marsh, where there were lands so called, and there they continued in good esteem at Lyd, of which town they were jurats, and possessed lands for many years afterwards. From this name this manor of Westberies, alias Rokinges, went by sale to Pearse, and anno 23 Elizabeth John Pearse, alienated it, being held in capite, to Richard Guildford and Bennet his wife, but he being indicted for not taking the oath of supremacy, they fled the realm, and were attainted of treason, and his lands became forfeited to the crown, where this manor seems to have remained till the death of the latter in 1597, anno 39 Elizabeth, when the queen granted the fee of it to Walter Moyle, gent. who sold it soon afterwards to Francis Bourne, esq. of Sharsted, and his grandson James Bourne owned it at the latter end of king Charles I.'s reign, and in his descendants it continued till it was at length sold to Parker, in which name it remained till John Parker, of London, alienated it in 1706 to Edward Andrews, of Hinxhill, and his daughter Susanna, who married George I'anns, of this parish, and left a daughter of her own name, who afterwards married first John Gray, M. D. of Canterbury, and secondly Tho. Ibbott, clerk, and entit led each of her husbands in turn respectively to the possession of this manor. On her death without issue, her heirs on her mother's side became entitled to it, and in them, to the number of more than thirty, the inheritance of it is at this time vested.
The MANOR OF BARDINDEN, or Barbodindenne, was likewise most probably situated in this part of Rucking, and was antiently so called from a family of the same name, who were possessors of it, one of whom, William de Barbodindenne, held it at his death, which was in the 9th year of king Edward III. and in his descendants it continued till at length it was alienated to Sir Robert Belknap, chief justice of the common pleas, who being attainted and banished in the 11th year of king Richard II. his estates became forfeited to the crown. Notwithstanding which, the king, who considered him as a martyr to his interest, granted him his estates again, and among others this manor, which he died possessed of in the 2d year of king Henry IV. His grandson John Belknap, in the beginning of king Henry VI.'s reign, alienated it to Engham, in which name it continued till king Henry VIII.'s reign, when it was sold to Sir Matthew Browne, of Beechworth, who held it in capite at his death, anno 4 and 5 Philip and Mary. His grandson Sir Thomas Browne passed it away by sale, in the 7th year of queen Elizabeth, to Thomas Lovelace, esq. whose cousin and heir William Lovelace, of Bethesden, sergeant-at-law, succeeded him in the possession of it, which afterwards descended down to Col. Richard Lovelace, who, soon after the death of king Charles I. alienated it, with his estates at Bethersden, to Mr. Richard Hulse, afterwards of Lovelace-place, in that parish, but whereabouts this manor is precisely situated, or who have been the proprietors of it since, I have not as yet been able to gain any discovery of.
POUNDHURST is a manor, situated about a mile north-west from the church. It belonged in 1651 to Richard Watts, who sold it to Gadsley, from which name it passed to Hatch, and then to Read, who passed it away to Clarke, of Ashford, and Grace Clarke carried it in marriage to the Rev. Thomas Gellibrand, and at her death in 1782, gave it by will to her son the Rev. Joseph Gellibrand, of Edmonton, the present possessor of it.
The MANOR OF MORE was antiently held by owners of the same name, one of whom, Matthew at More, held it by knight's service in the 20th year of king Edward III. after which this manor of More came into the possession of the family of Brent, who were possessed of it in king Henry VII.'s reign. At length Thomas Brent, esq. of Wilsborough, dying in 1612, s. p. by his will gave this manor to his nephew Richard Dering, esq. of Pluckley, in whose descendants it continued down to Sir Edward Dering, bart. now of Surrenden, the present possessor of it.
Charities.
A PERSON UNKNOWN gave to this parish an annuity of 20s. paid out of lands in Romney Marsh, occupied by Mr. Stone, of Great Chart, which is yearly distributed on New Year's day to the poor, who receive no parish relief.
The poor constantly relieved are about twenty, casually forty.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Limne.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, is a very small building, having at the west end a pointed tower, out of which rises a small slender spire. In the tower there are five bells. It has a middle isle, and two narrow ones coving to it on each side. It has one chancel, and another building at the east end of the south isle, built of flint, with two handsome gothic windows on the south side, and seems to have been a chantry or oratory. It is now made use of to lay the materials in for the repairs of the church. There is a white stone in the north isle, having once had the figures of a man and woman in brass. There are no other memorials or gravestones in the church. On the outside of the steeple, on the west side, there is a very antient Saxon arched door-way, with carved capitals and zig-zag ornaments round it, and some sculpture under the arch. And there is such another smaller one on the middle of the south side of the south isle.
The church of Rucking seems to have been esteemed part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury ever since the restoring of it to that church, by the means of archbishop Lanfranc as above mentioned, when, on the allotment of the manor to the priory and monks of Christ-church, the archbishop most probably retained the advowson of this church to himself. His grace the archbishop is the present patron of it.
It is a rectory, valued in the king's books at 14l. 13s. 4d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 9s. 4d. In 1588 it was valued at one hundred pounds, communicants one hundred. In 1640 it was valued at eightyfive pounds, communicants the same as before. There are about eighteen acres of glebe.
In the petition of the clergy, beneficed in Romney Marsh, in 1635, for setting aside the custom of twopence an acre, in lieu of tithe-wool and pasturage, a full account of which has been given before, under Burmarsh, the rector of Rucking was one of those who met on this occasion; when it was agreed on all sides, that wool in the Marsh had never been known to have been paid in specie, the other tithes being paid or compounded for.
¶There is a modus of one shilling per acre on all grafs lands in this parish within the Marsh, and by custom, all the upland pays four-pence per acre for pasturage, and one shilling per acre when mowed, no hay having ever been taken in kind, the other tithes are either taken in kind, or compounded for. Formerly the woods of this parish paid tithes, after the rate of two shillings in the pound, according to the money paid for the fellets of them; but in a suit in the exchequer for tithe of wood, anno 1713, brought by Lodge, rector, against Sir Philip Boteler, it was decreed against the rector, that this parish was within the bounds of the Weald, and the woods in it consequently freed from tithes. Which decree has been acquiesced in ever since.

Yeah, I'm posting too many similar photos. My kid's only going to be 11 days old only once. He's cute at this age. I'll be lucky to catch him occasionally for a photo once he's mobile.
Right now, he's sleeping, eat or screaming. Sleeping is by far the best time for a photo.
Chassis photographs of a 18ft wheelbase Guy Victory chassis for Spain, with Leyland 680 engine and ZF gearbox. (Guy official shots, taken from a rather creased contact sheet from a 6x6 film) Aldridge Transport Museum archive. In the original posting, this picture was reversed (as the contact sheet was for that part of the film); it should now be correct.
Posting 2 perspective shots ... We had some insane winds and some rain in California over the past couple of weeks. The wall couldn't stand up to the elements.
Sorry for posting SO many photos today! I think it's the only way I will ever get through all the images from this Texas trip.
On Day 6 of our birding holiday in South Texas, 24 March 2019, we left our hotel in Kingsville, South Texas, and started our drive to Mission, where we would be staying at La Quinta Inn & Suites for three nights. On the first stretch of our drive, we were lucky enough to see several bird species, including a Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Hooded Oriole, Red-tailed Hawk, Crested Caracara, Harris's Hawk, Pyrrhuloxia male (looks similar to a Cardinal) and a spectacular Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. I'm not sure if this stretch is called Hawk Alley.
We had a long drive further south towards Mission, with only a couple of drive-by photos taken en route (of a strangely shaped building that turned out to be a deserted seed storage building). Eventually, we reached our next planned stop, the National Butterfly Centre. This was a great place, my favourite part of it being the bird feeding station, where we saw all sorts of species and reasonably close. Despite the name of the place, we only saw a few butterflies while we were there. May have been the weather or, more likely, the fact that I was having so much fun at the bird feeding station. We also got to see Spike, a giant African Spurred Tortoise. All the nature/wildlife parks that we visited in South Texas had beautiful visitor centres and usually bird feeding stations. And there are so many of these parks - so impressive!

"Ten years ago, the North American Butterfly Association broke ground for what has now become the largest native plant botanical garden in the United States. This 100-acre preserve is home to Spike (who thinks he is a butterfly) and the greatest volume and variety of wild, free-flying butterflies in the nation. In fact, USA Today calls the National Butterfly Center, in Mission, Texas, 'the butterfly capitol of the USA'." From the Butterfly Centre's website.
The Centre is facing huge challenges, as a result of the "Border Wall". The following information is from the Centre's website.
www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/about-nbc/maps-directions...
"No permission was requested to enter the property or begin cutting down trees. The center was not notified of any roadwork, nor given the opportunity to review, negotiate or deny the workplan. Same goes for the core sampling of soils on the property, and the surveying and staking of a “clear zone” that will bulldoze 200,000 square feet of habitat for protected species like the Texas Tortoise and Texas Indigo, not to mention about 400 species of birds. The federal government had decided it will do as it pleases with our property, swiftly and secretly, in spite of our property rights and right to due process under the law."
"What the Border Wall will do here:
1) Eradicate an enormous amount of native habitat, including host plants for butterflies, breeding and feeding areas for wildlife, and lands set aside for conservation of endangered and threatened species-- including avian species that migrate N/S through this area or over-winter, here, in the tip of the Central US Flyway.
2) Create devastating flooding to all property up to 2 miles behind the wall, on the banks of the mighty Rio Grande River, here.
3) Reduce viable range land for wildlife foraging and mating. This will result in greater competition for resources and a smaller gene pool for healthy species reproduction. Genetic "bottlenecks" can exacerbate blight and disease.
IN ADDITION:
4) Not all birds can fly over the wall, nor will all butterfly species. For example, the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, found on the southern border from Texas to Arizona, only flies about 6 ft in the air. It cannot overcome a 30 ft vertical wall of concrete and steel.
5) Nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife, which rely on sunset and sunrise cues to regulate vital activity, will be negatively affected by night time flood lighting of the "control zone" the DHS CBP will establish along the wall and new secondary drag roads. The expansion of these areas to vehicular traffic will increase wildlife roadkill.
6) Animals trapped north of the wall will face similar competition for resources, cut off from native habitat in the conservation corridor and from water in the Rio Grande River and adjacent resacas. HUMANS, here, will also be cut off from our only source of fresh water, in this irrigated desert.

Posting quickly to inform all the kind Flickr people who expressed concern about the hurricane this evening, that it has arrived, but seems to be no worse than a good noreaster - which we get several times a year. We, obviously, have not even lost our electrical supply. Reports say it is worse southwest of us, but north of Lunenburg it doesn't seem too bad. I hope your nights are all calm and lovely!!
Posting the run down truck stop made me remember I had not shared the soon to be lost forever old relic of a barn that drew my attention and led me to turn around in the first place. Fields of golden soybeans lay behind the transparent walls of this old barn to glimpse into our distant past.
