At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

This Great Blue Heron is serving runway ready disdain with the confidence of a bird who knows it’s the hottest thing in a five mile radius. The feathers? Immaculate. The posture? Flawless. The expression? A perfect blend of “I woke up like this” and “Why are you pointing that camera at me, land mammal.”
Its yellow eye is locked in a stare that could curdle milk. The beak is angled just so, the avian equivalent of a model refusing to turn their head because “this is my good side.” Meanwhile, the background melts into a soft green blur, as if nature itself stepped aside to let the star have the spotlight.
And me, I'm crouched there like a paparazzo who wandered into the marsh without signing the NDA. The heron didn’t approve this shoot, didn’t request this lighting, and absolutely did not ask for my presence. Yet here it is, delivering a Vogue level profile shot while silently judging your entire life.
It’s elegance. It’s attitude. It’s Florida wildlife with the emotional range of a tired fashion icon who’s been on set since 5 a.m.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.

In the Roman era, a temple dedicated to Jupiter was erected nearby along with a mansio serving travellers along the pass, and it is thought that Carthaginian general Hannibal used this route.

California condors someplace along Highway 25.
Too graphic for some, and I get that. I admit that even though I know this is part of life and nature, I find it difficult to accept.
After reading about California Condors on Wikipedia, I'm not so sure that's what these are. The main reason I say that is because they say the beak is ivory colored. That doesn't seem to be the case with these. I dunno. Maybe someone of you folks can help.
found at the Peconic Herb Farm...
I have disabled the comments but thank everyone that came to take a peek...
Have a great day!
The Reading & Northern “mountain job” serves Universal Forest Products in Gordon, Pennsylvania. The customer’s lumber business is located on the one-time site of the Reading locomotive facility. Gordon gained notice as the base for steam’s last stand on the Reading, when the last active T1 4-8-4’s were assigned to helper service here until 1957.
Whinnyfold (locally pronounced finnyfa) is a clifftop hamlet of fisher cottages built in the 1860s, replacing an older settlement one mile inland. Whinnyfold has no harbour, and fisherfolk had to scramble up and down a steep grass slope to access their boats and catches. Nevertheless, in the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century it was a thriving fishing community, supporting as many as 190 fishermen operating 24 boats and exporting fish as far afield as Manchester.
During the herring boom the fishers abandoned the village for the summer season, seeking more lucrative employment in Peterhead. Enterprisingly, those left behind temporarily converted a few of the cottages into a series of tearooms serving the moneyed holidaymakers visiting Cruden Bay. Among the visitors was Bram Stoker, author of Dracula.
EN: The photographer was completely surprised when the last Re 4/4 II in "Swiss-Express livery" appeared in front of train 915 on the morning of 28.03.2021. According to plan, a normal red Re 4/4 II would have been assigned, but apparently there was a change.
The locomotives in this livery, along with matching type EW III carriages, were to herald a change in Swiss long-distance traffic in the 1970s. The Swiss Express was the SBB's showpiece train at the time, serving the SBB's most important transport axis, the Geneva-Lausanne-Bern-Zurich-St. Gallen route. Unfortunately, not much remains of that time and only 2 locomotives still exist in this colour scheme. Due to its advanced age, however, only locomotive 11109 is still used as scheduled, 11108 meanwhile leads a survival with overrun and towing trips. It is not known how long these two unique locomotives will continue to exist, but the time of the Re 4/4 II has definitely also passed.

DE: Völlig überrascht war der Fotograf als am Morgen des 28.03.2021 die letzte Re 4/4 II in "Swiss-Express-Lackierung" vor dem Zug 915 auftauchte. Planmässig wäre eine normale rote Re 4/4 II eingeteilt gewesen, doch anscheinend gab es eine Änderung.
Die Loks in dieser Farbgebung sowie passende Wagen des Typs EW III sollte in den 70er Jahren eine Wende im Schweizer Fernverkehr einläuten. Der Swiss Express war damals der Paradezug der SBB, er bediente die wichtigste Verkehrsachse der SBB, die Strecke Genf–Lausanne–Bern–Zürich–St. Gallen. Leider ist von dieser Zeit nicht mehr viel übrig geblieben und es existieren nur noch 2 Loks in dieser Farbgebung. Aufgrund ihres fortgeschrittenen Alters wird aber planmässig nur noch die Lok 11109 eingesetzt, 11108 führt mittlerweile ein Überleben mit Überfuhr- und Abschleppfahrten. Wie lange die beiden Unikate noch existieren ist nicht bekannt, doch die Zeit der Re 4/4 II ist definitiv auch abgelaufen.
My first macro shot is not so micro. The ripple in front of this rock attracted my attention and left a rather interesting pattern while serving as my first use with a new macro lens.

Holy Island, or Lindisfarne as it's also known, is one of the most beautiful places anywhere in the world and simply oozes history wherever you wander. It's importance to Christianity cannot be understated with its 7th century monastery serving as a home to St Cuthbert and also drawing the first significant Viking attack on Western Europe in 793. This pano (processed in glorious HDR once again!) depicts the much more modern Lindifarne Castle which was built in the 16th century before being altered and restored in 1901. More photos to follow!

Serving coffee and all sorts of refreshments or wine and beer, the Lisbon „quiosques“ are cultural and social hubs in Lisbon since the 1860's and appear in Art Nouveau or Art Deco styles.
In the early 1900s, John Odegard whose father immigrated from Norway, opened the first Ford car agency in 1912 in the small
country town of Santiago, Minnesota. Evidently he was an earnest entrepreneur as in addition he eventually started a creamery, a bank and probably this general store in Santiago.
I couldn't find anyone on the streets of this burg who could enlighten me to the various uses it has served throughout the 100 years it has stood although the upper level has been used as a residence at times.
General stores were not just the place to buy groceries, clothing, tools and seed. They often served as a town center as
going to the general store was a chance to socialize with other families and catch up on the latest news, both local and national.
The advent of paved roads and more accessibility to cars that allowed folks to travel further distances to larger markets to purchase goods at lower prices hastened the wide-spread demise of general stores in many communities.

A while ago I asked Miss Aniela , to try to make a little project with me.
The results are beyond fantastic and I am so happy to present you two versions that we came up with - one made by Miss Aniela ( on Aniela's page ) and one mine (above).
It was pretty hard job we took on ourselves not knowing what picture the other side will provide, but I guess we briliant enough to manage even with such an obstacles ;) :D
I love Miss Aniela's photo, I still can't believe I gave her this certain shot, but I love the fun we had...and still having :))
Thank you Natalie! You are such a fantastic person to build ideas with! :D
OH! And happy Belated Birthday, missy! :D
