The deer are secure enough at this time of year, to hunker down around our place, close to the house. This little one found a sunny spot and was just waiting for me to throw out some apple slices. Of course all the raspberry canes got in my way .. but it was so cute, I couldn't resist. I was shooting from the kitchen window.. which really needs cleaning!

Early morning full zoom shot of my regular red fox visitor right at the end of my rear yard which is located deep in suburban England.
AI's assessment..
This is a classic Red Fox looking remarkably comfortable and staring right at the camera.
Here are a few quick, interesting observations about your backyard visitor.
Relaxed posture: It's lying down in a 'loaf' or sphinx like position which usually means it feels relatively safe and secure in that environment.
Camouflage: Notice how well its reddish-brown coat blends with the dead grass and twigs, while the dark, bushy tail provides great cover against the shadows of the ivy background.
Healthy appearance: Its coat looks quite thick, and those sharp, alert eyes mean it's keeping a very close tab on you even while resting.
There's some history of fox's on my property including a suspected in house loaf of bread theft some years back with access gained through my kitchen window and a fox den on a near neighbours property.
This same fox has been seen at dawn in my rear yard for the previous three weeks too. So this fellows presence in the vicinity is a concerning issue and what to do about it, which to be honest is not much.
I have left a bowl of fresh water out for him in the hot weather although I've yet see him drinking any.. however upon advice, I've decided against leaving any food out.
I feel so sorry for the fox population. All they do is sleep, scavenge for food then die. I see a fox late at night whilst at work almost on a daily basis and most of them are emaciated and in desperate need of veterinary care.
I've spoken to a neighbour about concerns and what to do about this fellow.
'A fox is not a pet, it's a wild animal. You can't have a fox sleep with you on your bed like a cat or dog. Try not to get emotionally involved. It's nature and nature will take its course.'
The Red Fox is classified as LC (Least Concern) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conservation list.

Having secured a ticket for the 'Explore Britain' adex of Sunday 7th May 1978 from the East Midlands to Hartlepol, Sunderland & Newcastle I was already planning my moves for the day. By utilising the 1E75 0800 Birmingham New Street-Leeds which was diverted via Leicester I was able to make a much earlier start than that offered by the regular Sunday MML service on Table 53 which was the 1M32 0750 St Pancras-Manchester which didn't leave Leicester until 1010. Approaching Derby it was always traditional to cast a glance across the Research Centre sidings that today held Class 17 Clayton 8598 among the assembled curiosities displaying it's 'T' shaped tablet apparatus recess.
Another oldie I had forgotten about, until somebody happened upon it and hit the Fave button. This is from 13 years ago, when I was more fascinated with all things railroad. Nice to see it again. Original title: A Firm Handshake.

The San Francisco Seals were a minor league baseball team in San Francisco, California, that played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957 before transferring to Phoenix, Arizona. They were named for the abundant California sea lion and harbor seal populations in the Bay Area. The 1909, 1922, 1925, and 1928 Seals were recognized as being among the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time.

Harry Richard "Rube" Suter (b. September 15, 1887 in Independence, Missouri – d. July 24, 1971 at age 83 in Topeka, Kansas) was a professional baseball pitcher from 1906 to 1912. He played one season in Major League Baseball for the Chicago White Sox. Suter was 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 190 pounds (86 kg). He started his baseball career in 1906 with the South Texas League's Austin Senators and had a win–loss record of 15–9. The following season, he was 23–13. Suter then joined the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League and became one of the top pitchers in the circuit. In 1908, pitching a league-leading 415 innings, he went 27–20 with a 2.00 earned run average. Suter's contract was purchased by the Chicago White Sox in August 1908. He was on the White Sox roster throughout 1909, and he made seven starts, relieved in 11 other games, and went 2–3 with a 2.47 ERA. His contract was then sold back to San Francisco after the season, and he never played in the majors again. Returning to his old club in 1910, Suter picked up where he left off, going 16–14 with a 1.95 ERA. The following season, his ERA rose to 2.67, but he struck out 339 batters to set a Seals team record. He also threw a no-hitter on April 25 to beat Oakland, 1–0. In 1912, Suter joined the Portland Beavers. He set a Pacific Coast League record on October 12, when he struck out 16 batters in a game against San Francisco. Suter pitched in 20 games that year and won only 5. His playing career ended after the season. In 1938, Suter was the manager of the Western Association's Salina Millers.
(Clipped from - The Topeka State Journal newspaper - Topeka, Kansas - 8 Jun 1905) - Sedalia has a new pitcher by the name of Harry Suter, son of George Suter of Fulton. He is a home-guard, but promises In great shape. He formerly pitched for the Westminster College team.
(Clipped from - The Topeka State Journal newspaper - Topeka, Kansas - 17 Jun 1905) - Sedalia - Harry Suter, the home guard kid phenom, who showed up so well in the box, refused to go along on the present trip. He only wants to play at home. In July he pitched for the Nevada Elks baseball team.
(Clipped from - The Sedalia Democrat newspaper - Sedalia, Missouri - 23 Feb 1906) - Sedalian Signed As Pitcher - Harry Suter, the young man who pitched such phenomenal ball for the Nevada Elks last summer, has signed with the Austin, Tex., ball team, says the Nevada Mall. Suter will make good in the Texas league, and If no accidents happen to him he will be In professional company before the passing of many seasons. He is a real “box-artist" of the strikeout order.
(Clipped from - The Sedalia Democrat newspaper - Sedalia, Missouri - 5 Nov 1906) - SEDALIA BALL PLAYER - Austin, He Will Likely Be Sold by Austin, Texas to St. Paul. Harry Suter, the plumber and baseball pitcher, who played last season with the Austin, Texas, baseball team in the Southern Texas league, is in receipt of a letter from W. P. Allen, secretary of the league, in which he states that Suter will very likely be sold to the St. Paul, Minn. American association club the coming season. (he ended up staying one more year with the Austin baseball team).
(Clipped from - The Morning Union newspaper - Grass Valley, California - 18 February 1908) - LONG SIGNS GOOD MAN FROM TEXAS - SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 17. - Danny Long announced today that he had all but signed Harry Suter, who helped to pitch Austin into the championship in the Texas League last year. Suter was drafted by Washington. When Long sold Street to Cantillon the understanding was that the latter should send him a player in addition to the money that was passed. Now if Washington can secure waivers on Suter he will be turned over to the Seals. "Suter is a left-handed pitcher", said Long, "and was one of the best men in the Texas League last year. His side-kicker, Bailey, was tried out by the St. Louis American Club last fail and made good, and from all accounts Suter is as good a man. I am told that he has a lot of speed and for a left-hander and is remarkably steady. We need a good southpaw and I look for Suter to fill the bill."
(Clipped from - The Sedalia Democrat newspaper - Sedalia, Missouri - 2 April 1908) - A SEDALIA BALL PLAYER WHO HAS MADE GOOD WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO TEAM IN COAST LEAGUE. HARRY SUTER IS A FIXTURE THERE - Washington Drafted Him From Texas, but Turned Him Adrift Without a Trial and Is Sure to Regret It. Harry Suter, son of George Suter, the plumber of this city, has made good with the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. Suter has something up his sleeve that no other pitcher is working on. Suter’s new junk is the “knuckle ball.” it is a combination of the slow ball and the spitter. In making the delivery, Suter grasps the ball firmly of course, against the knuckles of the pitching hand. It is delivered with the same motion that sends the swift ball across the plate. And that is where the deception lies. While the swing is that of a fast ball the knuckle sphere is in reality a slow ball, it comes to the batter looming up as large as a balloon and then suddenly drops, just like the “saliva special.’

T212 Obaks were to the West Coast what T206’s were to the rest of the country. While little of the players are known, their images endure...trade cards from the "Obak Baseball Players" series (T212), distributed by the California branch of the American Tobacco Company to promote their Obak Mouthpiece Cigarettes brand. The set was released in three separate subsets, one per year from 1909 through 1911.
While the players may not be well known to fans today—and most probably weren't to fans in the eastern half of the country even in 1910—the cards are appreciated for their stunning good looks. The artwork on these is sensational, transporting you back in time to a period when the game was beginning to grow up in California, Oregon and Washington, where these players toiled in hopes of getting noticed by a big league club in the east.
Link to - Obak Cards Were West Coast’s Version of T206 - www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/obak-cards-were-west-coasts...
All three Obak sets feature the same front design. The design has a brightly-colored lithograph of a player, surrounded by a white border. At the bottom are the player's last name and team city, and the specific league is added for the 1910 and '11 sets. Collectors can identify which year the card was issued by its back design. 1909 cards feature an Obak advertisement in Old English script. 1910 had the Obak wording in block type, along with a mention of either 150 or 175 subjects. There are a total of 35 different slogans available on the 1910 card backs. Finally, the 1911 cards are printed in red ink, with a biography of the player and a few lines of statistics. There are 426 total cards in the three sets.
Many 1909 Obaks were obviously hand-cut at the factory and were issued exactly in this manner; these cards are encapsulated as "Authentic" due to their very slight irregular cut but are definitely not trimmed. There were 10 horizontal cards issued in the 1909 set (Boyce, Brackenridge, Brown, Dillion, W. Hogan, Martinke, Mohler, Nelson, Reidy and Wiggs).
1911 Obak - The final year of production for the original Obak baseball card brand. The 1911 Obak Baseball set featured players from the six PCL teams and the four NWL teams. These teams included professional clubs from Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Vernon, and Seattle. This year is noticeably different from the previous two years as the backs are printed in red ink and contain a bio and statistics. The stats are a first for minor league cards.

The OBAK (T212) cards were printed in San Francisco at the Schmidt Lithography Co. Judging from the 76-card
uncut sheet shown in Post #8, Schmidt Lithography used a 30-inch wide press track to print 19 cards across the
sheet.

I do like the complicated "granny knots" people use - here on a narrowboat on the Macclesfield Canal near Bosley, Cheshire.
It looks good in monochrome - but detracts attention from the green nylon knot.

I have to say, the worst International Salon ever! You don't get told what mark you got. You don't get an email with a report card, you just have to keep looking at the website then trawl through to find your name and see whether you got an acceptance or not.
I must say though, they are very loyal to their own people! Haha!

Beelitz-Heilstätten, a district of the town, is home to a large hospital complex of about 60 buildings including a cogeneration plant erected from 1898 on according to plans of architect Heino Schmieden. Originally designed as a sanatorium by the Berlin workers' health insurance corporation, the complex from the beginning of World War I on was a military hospital of the Imperial German Army. During October and November 1916, Adolf Hitler recuperated at Beelitz-Heilstätten after being wounded in the leg at the Battle of the Somme.
In 1945, Beelitz-Heilstätten was occupied by Red Army forces, and the complex remained a Soviet military hospital until 1995, well after the German reunification. In December 1990 Erich Honecker was admitted to Beelitz-Heilstätten after being forced to resign as the head of the East German government.
Following the Soviet withdrawal, attempts were made to privatize the complex, but they were not entirely successful. Some sections of the hospital remain in operation as a neurological rehabilitation center and as a center for research and care for victims of Parkinsons disease. The remainder of the complex, including the surgery, the psychiatric ward, and a rifle range, was abandoned in 2000. As of 2007, none of the abandoned hospital buildings or the surrounding area were secured, giving the area the feel of a ghost town. This has made Beelitz-Heilstätten a destination for curious visitors and a film set for movies like The Pianist in 2002, the Rammstein music video[5] Mein Herz brennt and Valkyrie in 2008.
