DMS2215 is seen here at Blackbird Hill, Kingsby after suffering a minor scrape to its nether regions on what was only its second day in service!
The MCW bodied machine has deposited its passengers and awaits assistance. No doubt the driver will be a similar colour to the bus when he gets back to the depot to face the music about pranging a brand new vehicle!

A scrape is a type of marker created when a deer, typically a buck, removes ground material with its fore-hooves and exposes a patch of soil. Scrapes serve as a form of communication between deer, leaving their scent in the area (through glands on their face and urinating on the ground), and letting them know who's area it is !
The swollen neck and panting are all signs of pending rut......
Collecting scrap can be very dangerous... Especially if you want to take it from a scorpion...

Typical Polistes for this area.
A drop of ooze from a queen palm date fell on the century plant and this wasp is scraping up the crystalized sugar.
I've been on the road trying to wrap up my late Father's estate. This was my first up close look at the new Trump Tower in Chicago. Taken from across the Chicago River at State and Wacker in the North Loop. I can see my old office
Thanks for your awesome comments :-))

Reflections were incredible today. So much so, that I had to tone it down a bit as it looked really fake when taken straight from my phone.
RCA Building (now GE), aka "30 Rock", Rockefeller Center, New York, NY. A red filter (from Photoshop) bought out the incredible light rays...
This buck just thrashed the branches above this scrape. Some leaves still on his back. Now he is making the dirt fly. This is going to be a good area as the rut progresses. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Description: I think that we can settle the purpose of the original Ramey farm. This rake is a clue that they harvested hay and probably fed cattle in the 1800s. I expect the finished cattle were herded up to the mining camps in the foothills to feed mine labor. It is interesting that the term "Foothills" is specific to this area as are Eastern and Western Slopes. This must have been the fancier selection of rake judging from iron tips on a couple of the teeth or tines. That begs the question as to whether there was a Beaver slide around the place. Not many are left in the West. This was the style of rake used to collect the hay for a Beaver slide.
I mentioned that I thought the Ramey spread was a dirt-poor farm and a lot of work was needed to stay above water, so to speak. Heck, he even labored so hard, he worked the handles off that wheelbarrow. I had headed out to the Ramey farm once again to inspect the farm for details and came away with some more. The remains of the rake won't last too very long in the weather and floods. I moved around the house and looked for shots untaken. I don't want to leave anything unshot. The sheds were already rebuilt and the house reroofed before the floods and now they are on their last legs. BoCo rescued the sheds but I guess the floods have tipped them over the brink. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old buildings, behind me, by throwing in even more lumber but they claim the Ramey place is old, and it must be. The out buildings are not so good after the river undercut them. The textures and details caught my eye. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been? The hay days mostly meant a lot of haying to lay in cattle feed for the winter. I bet he never laid up any of thse round bales.
I have a Ramey PhotoSet filled with before flood shots and some that show the damage to the pasture on the north side and structures. One fissure shows in the bottom of this image. In fact walking across the pasture and through the structures involves tracking around all the fissures all over the place, or travel with a ladder. The Ramey photoset is under farms. A lot of the shots are at better times. I guess this is another loss to water diversions and gravel mining. The 61st street road has been rebuilt down to the 63rd Street bridge past the gate at Broley and I can now drive in. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain. California can't seem to get a drop an the northeastern tier can't buy a degree. What Climate Change? I guess America's biggest enemy will be the upcoming petroleum wars.
