Stored these hybrid seeds away 10 days ago and found 4 or 5 starting to sprout just by accident, maybe I didn't dry them properly before storage ?
The actual sown seeds show no sign of sprouting yet ... ;-)

This summer 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. I recently got through my initial sifting through my photos and I'm now ready to share some of my favourites.
Twisted tree trunks 574_016 raw level
I like the twisted trunks, but top of a bank so difficult to access properly. May try again.
Ashford Hangers, Hampshire
This very striking structure at the summit of the Hill of Rowan is properly known as the Maule Monument and was built by the first Baron Panmure in 1866 to commemorate seven members of his family; it is also dedicated to Lord Panmure, Lady Christian Maule and Lady Ramsay Macdonald. Glen Esk, Angus, Scotland.
Well, once properly secured, vet wrapped, plastic wrapped, flagged, and photographed to serve as my official Fourth Of July household motif, it was time to get down to the business at hand. So I added her nice thick spandex hood with built-in blindfold, and set about making it a very long...and intermittently stimulating afternoon for Miss Daisy. I had a lot of fun teasing my subject...and engaging her vibrating butt-plug to the point of exhaustion. Daisy's exhaustion that is....the butt plug never showed the least sign of weakening. Must be one heck of a battery in that thing. Ain't technology wonderful?! 😍💗
And before you ask....yes, there will be video. 😉
Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, and formerly known as Peterborough Abbey or St Peter's Abbey, is a cathedral in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The seat of the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, it is dedicated to the Apostles Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the West Front. Founded in the Anglo-Saxon period as a minster it became one of England's most important Benedictine abbeys, becoming a cathedral only in 1542. Its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. Alongside the cathedrals of Durham and Ely, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration, and is one of the nation's best preserved pre-Reformation abbeys.
Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.

Salford renewed its fleet around 1950 and no new buses were bought for another ten years. One of the first to appear after this was 112, one of thirty and a Daimler like most of Salford's fleet at that time. It has a pre-selector gearbox and the selector pedal is completely mechanical. One drawback of this was that if the pedal was not pressed properly, it would kick back with great force against the driver's shin.
Built in 1962, Daimler CVG6 112 / TRJ112 survived to be the last Salford back-loader bus in service until it was bought for preservation in 1977. It was restored from GMT orange to its original green and cream colours, and later given a thorough overhaul ending in 2004. It is now on display in the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester.
So spring has properly arrived.
A quick scout round the garden, after the dogs alerted me to something flying around, revealed a few of these guys.
There were also loads of ladybirds starting to sun themselves.
This was the first time that I really had to try the 105 out and my word am I impressed!

The modern classic G body 911 3.2 Carrera remains one of my absolute favorite automotive designs. I've built several takes on the 911 before as you may have noticed, so what's different this time? I've adjusted the overall proportions for more of a city scale build (1 plate shorter in height, I stud shorter in length) and included the iconic early 80's impact bumpers.
I had hoped to find a slot car tire that would serve this design properly but my compromise was to stretch a 9mm slick over 11mm wheels and then stretch an 11m low profile tire over the slick. The proportions work nicely but it would be ideal to have a meaty sidewall tire that is just a little smaller in overall diameter than the standard city tire.
I hope you enjoy!
A full length view of the dress as I have had a few requests to see if properly.
Its fabulous to wear as its light and floaty yet allows you to show a fitted top half.
I love it.
Hope you do. xxxx
I have wanted to properly shoot Animal Kingdom at night for what seems like a very long time now. I had a chance back when I first started photography with the D7000 but the results were less than spectacular. While I wasn't able to get every shot I wanted I did get most of the main ones I wanted, this one probably being at the top of my list.
The great thing about having a Walt Disney World trip, even a short one is that I always have a ton of shots to choose from to post. The bad thing is I have a ton of shots to choose from to post, lol. This trip in particular I am finding difficult to pick and choose as I have a ton of shots I'm anxious to share. I will still stick to my 1 photo a day limit though as I'd run out of photos way too fast otherwise! Enjoy!

"Masterpiece"
Spending so much time at the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum, one will really begin to appreciate everything in their collection, not to mention the facility itself. Everything from the extraordinary to mundane will find its way into your mind and heart. I must admit that in my years of steam locomotive research and enjoyment, the Nickel Plate 700's did not strike me. For whatever reason, they just didn't click with me. I'm not sure what it was, but obviously, that's changed now.
Cale and I modeled 765 way back in 2017 when we were still figuring out Brick Model Railroader. It took some convincing, but we eventually decided that Nickel Plate Road 765 would be our first collaborative steam locomotive model. We had a running model that needed some adjustment, but quickly became disinterested in the project due to external factors. We were never quite happy with where we left this project, and vowed to each other that we would return to the model some day to do it again, properly.
Several years later, in late October 2021, and on a whim, I laid out a scaled wheelbase in stud.io, just to see what it would look like. I left the file alone for a couple more months until the Holiday season of 2021. I began thinking about a Nickel Plate Berkshire running around a Christmas tree, inspired by the amazing "Travel Refreshed" speculative project:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2mU6jVcv4w&ab_channel=FortWa...
This set my mind racing with thoughts of the late 1940's when large mainline superpower led "hotshot manifest" trains through the heart of America. If there was ever a perfect depiction of postwar steam railroading, it was this, and the Nickel Plate Road was the poster child.
The Nickel Plate Road connected the farms of the Midwest in St. Louis and Chicago to Buffalo in the east. The road took a fast, level route along the southern edge of the great lakes. A direct competitor to the New York Central, it was purchased by the Vanderbilts in an effort to remove competition. As such, the line was never optimized and operated with older and slower equipment. The Nickel Plate was purchased by Oris and Mantis Van Sweringen, brothers from Cleveland who had controlling interests of several other roads including the Chesapeake & Ohio, Wheeling & Lake Erie, Pere Marquette, Erie, and more. The "Vans" would lead efforts to completely transform the Nickel Plate into the powerhouse bridge road it is remembered as today.
One of those efforts included the creation of the Advisory Mechanical Committee (AMC), which served as a design bureau for the roads under control of the Vans. One of the first projects for the AMC was the design of the C&O T-1 class 2-10-4 engines, the largest two cylinder steam locomotives when built. Continuing in efforts to rejuvenate the Nickel Plate, president John Bernet assigned AMC officer William Black the task of designing a super-power locomotive. The result was the Nickel Plate S class of 2-8-4, built by ALCO Schenectady in 1934. The AMC, capitalizing on their winning formula for the T-1, maintained the factor of adhesion just above 4 while scaling down the rest of the locomotive: eliminating the fifth pair of 69" drivers and creating a locomotive with 70% of the tractive effort and 70% of the weight. Unbeknownst to Bernet, Black, and the AMC, they had just captured lightning in a bottle.
To truly appreciate why the 700's were such good locomotives, the operating mentality of the Nickel Plate must be understood. The road was a masterpiece of engineering, maintaining a very flat right of way along the mainline, running shorter but faster trains handling bridge traffic over the line. Operating conditions like these coupled with the high-horsepower 700s, there has hardly been a more perfect match of locomotive and railroad. The Berkshires were so effective and loved, the Nickel Plate laughed away EMD diesel demonstrators multiple times until the end of steam in 1958. Even still, several of these locomotives were stored serviceable in anticipation of a traffic spike that never occurred.
763, part of the third batch of Berkshires in total (S-2 class) and second batch from Lima (Works #8671), was one of these locomotives. Officially retired a few years after the end of steam, it stayed in Conneaut, Ohio until 1966 when it was purchased by the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia. 763 remained in Roanoke for several years until it was towed to New Jersey for inspection to pull the American Freedom Train, but other locomotives were selected., and 763 returned to Roanoke. Ohio Central and Age of Steam founder Jerry Jacobson purchased the locomotive from the museum in 2007, returning the engine home to Ohio. It is currently stored inside the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum in stall 4, a regular favorite part of any regular public tour.
All that to say: I never expected to have such a deep, genuine understanding and appreciation for these engines. It says a lot when someone can connect with a piece of machinery in such a way, and gain understanding of its purpose and reason for existing. The 700s were truly magnificent machines.
So, in deciding that I was going to model one of these amazing locomotives, I began working in stud.io, and over the course of several months, I came up with what must have been at least a dozen iterations of the rough shape of the engine solely to achieve "the look." With 765 currently operating and with countless fans of the locomotives, the 700's are well recognized and people are going to be able to pick out the details, so any model of one has to be done properly. Once I had the correct shape and proportions, I filled in gaps and rebuilt section after section until I had a completed digital model in June of this year. By then, I had just seen 765 operate in person for the second time and was feeling inspired, so work on the custom wheels and connecting rods progressed alongside. Refining, trial, failure, adjustment, and testing continued until December 2022 when I completed the physical model. Naturally, I had to model 763 specifically, being the preserved example at Age of Steam.
Under the hood this model is identical to my Mohawk: a pair of Power Functions L motors geared 1:1 driving the third axle, each operating from its own Power Functions IR receiver, and powered by a Tenergy 7.4v 2200 mAh battery. 763 operates smoothly and without issue thanks to the drive train design and high-quality printing of the wheels, rods, and valve gear. Drivers and trailing wheels designed by me and printed by Rob Hendrix, all rods and valve gear designed by me and printed through Shapeways. All artwork was faithfully recreated by Cale Leiphart. Decals printed by OKBrickWorks and UV printed number boards and bearing caps are from Richard Glatter. Thank you all for your help with this project.
Having completed and published Buffalo Creek & Gauley 13, Morehead & North Fork 12, and now Nickel Plate Road 763, my Age of Steam collection grows. Those who know me personally understand that I'm not one to brag about my work. However, I feel I must say that I think I've outdone myself with this model. I would say this is the most new, ground-up design of locomotive I have built in a while. I've achieved detail and accuracy that I haven't seen on even some traditional scale models, and it all works together to make 763 perhaps my best model yet. A masterpiece of a masterpiece, if you will.
As 2022 winds down, I'm elated to publish this locomotive and check it off the list. As I mentioned earlier this year, I've had a lot in progress recently so wrapping something up feels fantastic. There's a bit more in store for the immediate future, but we'll get to that later.
As always, thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone for their support of my work through comments, questions, and compliments. It is always sincerely appreciated and I am thankful to be a part of such a fun community.

Sometimes everything seem to fit properly. The light, the framing weather conditions...
This is one of this shot when you basically have nothing else to press the button the get it done. So, it was summer solstice in the highlands somewhere in the Icelandic backcountry and around 1 a.m. the moon was just about to disapear behind the clouds. On the other side the sunset spread some of its leftover colors to the scene. A delight to be there at a right time with that amazing house within a surreal scene that seemed to be from another time. Loved it !

had a full afternoon hands on with my son ashley learning how to use nik-efex properly he has also set up some menu items within it to make life simple .it certainly seems to have had the desired effect .very pleased with the results so far .and takes away the harshness of how i was using it .
anyway a stonechat from weds day out to start off PS6 & nik-efex colour
Installation by Tomoko Fuse, Freising 2015
Healthwise not really fit properly (bad cold), I wanted to be for one day at Schafhof / “European House of Art - Upper Bavaria – Schafhof”!
Ori-friends told me to come, because the Exhibition with an installation by Tomoko Fuse and works by Heinz Strobl is so interesting! And at the last weekend there was “Origami to join in“/Origami zum Mitmachen. Well, so I drove to Freising with lot of lozenges to cool down my cough, if necessary :)!!
The exhibition of both artists is really great and impressive!!
On last Sunday, when I was there, one could participate Origami-Workshops and a panel talk with Paulo Mulatinho, Silke Schröder/Viereck Vlg , Heinz Strobl and Fritz Dettenhofer/ Galerie 13.
I was very glad to be there too! It was a wonderful Origami-Day!!
The exhibition will run until 11.octobre, 2015.
So, if you are in this region of Bavaria stop by and make a visit! You will enjoy it!

The Ancestral Pueblos were an ancient Native American culture that spanned the present-day Four Corners region of the United States, comprising southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. The Ancestral Puebloans are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara Tradition, who developed from the Picosa culture.
They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses, larger structures to house clans, grande pueblos, and cliff-side dwellings for defense. The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers. They held a distinct knowledge of celestial sciences that found form in their architecture. The kiva, a congregational space that was used chiefly for ceremonial purposes, was an integral part of this ancient people's community structure.
In contemporary times, the people and their archaeological culture were referred to as Anasazi for historical purposes. The Navajo, who were not their descendants, called them by this term. Reflecting historic traditions, the term was used to mean "ancient enemies". Contemporary Puebloans do not want this term used.
Archaeologists continue to debate when this distinct culture emerged. The current agreement, based on terminology defined by the Pecos Classification, suggests their emergence around the 12th century BC, during the archaeologically designated Early Basketmaker II Era. Beginning with the earliest explorations and excavations, researchers identified Ancestral Puebloans as the forerunners of contemporary Pueblo peoples. Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in the United States are credited to the Pueblos: Mesa Verde National Park, Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Taos Pueblo.

Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter. The present building was complete by about 1400 and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling in the world.
The site where Exeter Cathedral was constructed was home to Roman buildings. A legionary fortress was constructed between 50 & 75 AD and a Roman bathhouse was discovered in 1971. The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050.
A misericord (sometimes named mercy seat) is a small wooden structure or sculpture formed on the underside of a folding seat in a church which, when the seat is folded up, is intended to act as a shelf to support a person in a partially standing position during long periods of prayer. Despite being located in churches, it was not considered appropriate for these sculptures to portray religious motifs, as people rested their buttocks against them. As such, misericords portrayed a wide range of subjects from secular life and folklore unrelated to the Bible.
After waiting eight days, my new 50mm lens arrived Saturday morning (at 8:37 a.m., nonetheless). I'm looking forward to using it properly sometime this week! :)

Darchen (4,575 m),more properly known and still signposted as Lhara, was formerly an important sheep station for the nomads and their flocks. Until the late 1980s it still consisted at that time of only two permanent buildings. One survived the mass destruction of religious shrines during the Cultural Revolution, since it was said to have belonged to the Bhutanese government through the Drukpa Kagyu tradition, Which still claimed jurisdiction over it. More recently, Mount Kailash has become a popular destination for tourists and trekkers, and Darchen has correspondingly chanced out of all recognition. Sleaze, garbage and prostitution are the hallmarks of this once tranquil pilgrims'trailhead. Consequently many visitors and pilgrimage groups now prefer to camp further west at Darpoche or to stay at Jiu Gonpa beside Lake Manasarovar, and send their guide on ahead to make the final preparations for the circuit of the sacred mountain. ལྷ་ ར་ . དར་ཆེན་ IW long prayer flag, sail RY long prayer flag; a sail. standard; great flag.
