Rte. 146 Rustic Drive-In
North Smithfield, Rhode Island
I have driven by this many times but never stopped to photograph until I was recently inspired by Ken's photo.
This drive-in opened in 1951 and is the only active drive-in in Rhode Island.

The eclectic decor of Zum Eulenspiegel in the Old Town of Salzburg.
Housed in a white-and-peach building opposite Mozart's birthplace, Zum Eulenspiegel sits at one end of a quiet cobblestone square in the Old Town. Inside, guests have a choice of five rooms on three different levels, all rustically but elegantly decorated.
Spotted this in one of the many tiny backstreets in Mousehole, Cornwall. A very rustic garden set-up with weathered ornaments, tools, tables and chairs - but it fitted the character of the place
Extremely rustic changes on this large high overhead leaf. Such is nature. Enjoy capturing nature even when not pristine at times.
This is the tunnel under the main prison cell on Alcatraz. Its dark, its rustic and its decayed. Now the rooms adjacent to the tunnel are converted into small museums.

Trip to Las Descargues 8th August - 18th August - Macro Moths
I made a trip back to Robin Howard's beautiful place in the Midi-pyrenees with my wife on the second week of August.
We planned to stay over our anniversary but we were unsure of what the weather would be like, so very opted for a slightly longer stay of 10 days incase the weather wasn't too good.
We are very glad that we did as the first 4 days were quite wet and windy and with daytime temperatures not getting much higher than 18 degrees, it felt like the trip back in June al over again!
Thankfully by Saturday the temperature had recovered and we were enjoying the sunshine finally and by Monday we made use of the stunning swimming pool that we had all to ourselves (although it was quite cold and took your breathe away). Typically on the last day (Thursday) it was really warm and the pool felt a bit warmer so we made the most of it!
Of course Moths were once again on the agenda, a I was granted permission to use traps aeound thr garden, extending to the ridge with a generator if I wanted to.
The first few nights were hard going and measly pickings but of course every trap had it's surprises in, and having not been here in August before there were plenty of moths that i'd never seen before.
2 of the traps on the first couple of nights got water-logged and then I had the challenging time of dealing with lively Hornets, albeit they are quite docile once the sun has rose and some mornings I just had to wait for it to get light before I could get near the traps.
We also lost one of the bulbs in the lower garden, I woke up to find it glowing green/white and thought it was odd and then getting nearer and realising the bulb had smashed, not good as Robin didn't have a 3-pin spare. How on earth it smashed when we had no rain that night (and it had a secure rainguard on it anyway) is beyond me. I could still see the light in my vision for about 15 minutes after which was slightly worrying!
By Saturday and Sunday, nights were really warm and temperatures kept in the high teens some nights even when the sky had cleared and working the traps in the morning (sometimes 4) was pretty hard work to say the least. Potting stuff up I didn't recognise, keeping a list on a notepad, the traps were full up and some mornings each trap had about 400 moths in, and I had 4 running! The best night I had around 160 species which is pretty incredible for August apprarently.
This first post I will list the Macro Moths that I saw on my trip.
I still have a few for identification as always but so far the Macro Moth species list stands at 193 species.
Species highlighted in red are completely new to me.
All of the Macro Moth species that I took photos of can now be viewed on my flickr page HERE

This is our master bathroom, featuring my husband's beloved Texas stars. The copper sinks also have the stars embossed in them... The reflection is the spa tub and chandelier above...
This was quite a challenge... creating a "tasteful" trophy room that included the homeowner's collection of African and domestic taxidermy. Here's the result of the challenge!
After three mornings at the Umpire Academy, I discovered that the middle shower had the best water flow.
Golden Gate Park--Big Rec Ball Fields, San Francisco County, CA. 1/3/15. Seen twice. This was the second time at 10:06 am. Both times the bunting came in with a pack of juncos from surrounding conifers near the brush piles.
September entry for 12pcp2013. I used chocolate brown, ecru and indian red polymer clay, leather cord and copper findings. I'm not sure if I have achieved what I wanted but it had to be finished and here it is. valgstudio.blogspot.ie/2013/09/my-knitting-challange.html
