A video taken on my HO Scale layout. All but one of the buildings in the center of the layout are from a layout I had as a child 40 years ago; most are Plasticville and Atlas structures. The rolling stock is a mixture of Tyco and Athern equipment from the original layout, Life Like equipment for two train sets that were given to me, and Bachmann. The trackwork is Life-Like EZ Track.
Since it is a throwback to my youth as well as for the kids and grandkids, it is all DC and horn hook couplers for ease of use. The feel is also a throwback to the small towns I remember growing up; with lots of "easter eggs" from moments and places in my life.
The song is In a Child's Eyes by John Tesh.
Scale
che non portano da nessuna parte
scale
che salgono soltanto per scendere
e difficile orientarsi
nei dintorni del nulla. ( L. Erba)

Dutch painter Jan Lievens (1607-1674) during his lifetime had achieved an international (continental) reputation for his art work. Today, he is not well known at all. Versatile in technique and genre, many of his works have been attributed to other painters. More is now known of the man, and credit is now being given where it should have been. The painting, “The Feast of Esther” at the North Carolina Museum of Art once was thought to be a work by Rembrandt; Lievens and Rembrandt knew each other in their home city of Leiden and may have shared a studio in common. Even in the 1630’s their styles were similar as were their subject matter, and contemporaries had difficulty in distinguishing one from the other. Lievens was well-known for portraits as well as religious scenes and landscapes.
“The Feast of Esther” dates from circa 1625; it is oil on canvas (51 1/2 x 64 1/2 inches [130.8 x 163.8 cm]), depicts a scene from the Book of Esther in the Old Testament. It is the confrontation of Ahasuerus (Xerxes) with his minister, Haman, who wished to see the extermination of the Jews. Esther has both her husband, Ahasuerus) and Haman to a banquet and exposes Haman’s plot. Lievens has conveyed much drama by Esther’s pointing finger, her husband’s anger in his clenched hands, the expression of surprise and shock on the face of Haman. The museum placard mentions aspects of Leivens’ craft—“scale, bold colors, dramatic energy”.

Up close the dead tree seems quite large but when viewed from a distance I realise just how small it is without any leaves to give it mass.
This was run through Neat Image to remove most of the noise - it's also removed a bit of detail but I do like the soft colour palate which is original

I think these are scale insect, whatever they are my poor Aloe was coated with sticky honeydew and these things. I consigned the plant to the worm bin. Luckily I had taken healthy cuttings.

Oystershell scale is a widespread problem, an emerging invasive insect posing a serious threat to conservation of quaking aspen in northern Arizona and beyond. A serious priority for researchers, oystershell scale monitoring and research is occurring on the Flagstaff and Mogollon Rim Ranger Districts with collaborators from NAU School of Forestry.
Photos are from a collaborative field trip with NAU School of Forestry and the USFS. We shadowed researchers and graduate students, visiting two test plots where possible mitigations for oystershell spread are being reviewed.
