Our trip to the island of Romblon was marked by whole days of doing nothing but beach bumming and island-hopping. A favorite hangout of ours was this beach - Tiamban Beach.
At “We’re Here!” our challenge for the day is: “Pick a flower or branch or whatever, and put it in something that wasn't originally intended to be a vase.”
I don’t have my own garden, I don’t want to go to the store, and I thought better of raiding someone else’s flower beds. I decided to go for a ramble looking for weeds. I found this purple vetch, a rambler in its own right. A jelly jar seems an adequate vessel for my humble bouquet.
I’ll post this in the group Not A Vase and also at 120 pictures in 2020 for the category “Rambling.”
“It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.”

My son shares my love of books, so when we were walking in downtown Berkeley, the first place we stopped at, after brunch, was the bookstore :))
I also learned that Berkeley has no chain stores at all
Not even a Mickey D's!
He has been there for 4 years and its a fact I did not know :))
I was utterly impressed!!
Only mom&pop stores, all so quaint and beautiful
One reason why he does not eat fast food when home ;)
This bookstore was full of mostly used books
We spent an hour there, and I could have spent an entire day without knowing where the time went.
Bought a book he wanted me to read
The feel of a used book is unlike another
There is so much love within the pages
I much prefer pages to the Nook I own, and that I've probably used to read only one book :/
I like the touch and feel of paper, as my eyes skim the words
It is such beautiful pleasure :))
LOL...
Now that's rambling for ya :))))
Have a beautiful day, my dear friends
Your support means the world to me
Thank you for always making the time for my images

Rework and improvement of an image from a rather challenging slide originally uploaded 12 years ago. The original has been deleted.
Going 'off the beaten track' in the 1970s was more often than not a rewarding experience.
In this shot from 1976 I took the 2-car DMU from Manningtree down the Harwich branch and here Gloucester R.C. & W. motor brake second E50346 stands at Harwich Town terminus waiting time before the return journey. Unusually it was coupled to a Cravens Trailer E56435 (out of shot).
There was definitely a sleepy backwater feel to the area, and it was nice to see the porter's trolley still there, although I can't imagine it would be getting much use by then. The two car ramps in the background, by now showing signs of disuse were, presumably for loading and unloading cars to and from the nearby ferry terminal at Parkestone Quay. The sign under the awning reads 'Bus / Ship Information'.
On an Eastern Region Rover at the time, my route that day was: Nottingham - Grantham - London Kings Cross - London Liverpool St - Manningtree - Harwich Town - Manningtree - Norwich - Reedham - Norwich - London Liverpool St - London Kings Cross - then an overnight train to Newcastle for a day travelling around the North East, before returning to Nottingham for a night back home. I certainly wouldn't have the stamina for a jaunt like that now.....

For 120 pictures in 2020 #90 "Rambling", this represents more a desire to ramble. I have been perusing the map for locations we can safely visit without staying overnight. There are some interesting places within this area that relate to the Texas Revolution as well as some of the Spanish Colonial sites, so we are thinking about visiting some of them when the weather cools off a bit in a month or two. In many cases we will be able to meander among some of the small backroads to get there.
In my younger years, I was a rambling man, always ready to go where the next adventure awaited. In fact, when I reached my twenties I worried that I'd end up like this bearded wanderer-- cruising the streets in the early morning hours before anyone was about--"my beard a roughened coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my head," to quote a Glen Campbell song. Don't know where along the line I got domesticated and house broken--probably when I met Marg.

Rambling roses are an excellent way to make up for a lack of garden space. They can be seen growing up walls, pillars and trellises and over arches.
this fragrant, red rambling rose is beginning to clamber over the trellis towards the pergola above the patio

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Rosa Banksiae "Lutea". Our neighbour planted this rose which quickly scrambled up and over her hedge and garage. I love it so my husband created a wooden support over to our garage and it has moved across so that we can share in the enjoyment of these flowers every year. This photo was taken in the National Trust gardens at Overbecks near Salcombe - it was easier to photograph being at or below eye level!

A Rambler sits at the end of a field as the sun seeks to penetrate a late spring fog. In my initial year of college I secured my first non-farm job working as a go-fer boy for a Rambler-Studebaker dealer in southwestern Minnesota. During the 60s, the Rambler was a family favored car and he sold a lot of them after I had cleaned them up. Today, few people of younger generations could tell you what a Rambler was other than assuming it had something to do with Nat King Cole and a rose.

Thank you to MAMJODH for beautiful starter image.
This is a rescue rose. A week after I took a few clippings of it a bulldozer arrived to demolish the wall where it grew removing the original rose.
