Can't remember exactly where I pulled over to take this photo, but it's typical of this stretch of road between Healesville and Marysville.
Spotted this gorgeous Flying Spur. The Flying Spur is Bentley's most powerful sedan ever made. It's a worthy successor of the Continental Flying Spur, every part of it was made to be better than the previous model, taking luxury and sportivity to another level.
Cowboys come to town to get new tires on their vehicles. Boots, spurs, training shoes, sandals and flip-flops are all examples of manly footwear in North Texas.
Spur at CH 18 along the former C&O Pere Marquette, which serviced a GM facility. Railroad service ended at this location over a decade ago. The track is graveled over for ease of the truck trailers.
Aquilegia comes from the Latin word for eagle in reference to the flower's five spurs which purportedly resemble an eagle's talon.
This columbine cultivar is perennial that features large, upward facing, fragrant, bright bi-toned flowers with outward curving spurs.
Flowers grow on a long stem above the leaves and have five pointed sepals and five petals with long spurs projecting backwards between the sepals.
The plant's seeds and roots are highly poisonous however, and contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food.
Native Americans used very small amounts of Aquilegia root as a treatment for ulcers.[
However, the medical use of this plant is better avoided due to its high toxicity; columbine poisonings may be fatal.
I is ALWAYS better to wash your hands thoroughly, after handling flowers!
Photographed the back, I felt it was almost as interesting as the front.

Da sind einige Euros verballert worden - trotz des Sturmes in der Sylvesternacht! Gesehen Neujahr am Hafen von Neufeld.
This memorial to Major General John Sedgwick from the members of his last command, the 6th Army Corps, was dedicated in 1868. Sedgwick was an 1837 USMA graduate who fought in many of the major battles of the Mexican War. During the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness, he rallied his soldiers to victory. Sedgwick was later killed at the Battle of Spottsylvania in 1864. His statue reportedly was cast from the Confederate cannon captured by his 6th Corps.
Legend holds that if a cadet is deficient in academics, the cadet should go to the monument at midnight the night before the term-end examination, in full dress, under arms, and spin the rowels on the monument's spurs. With luck, the cadet will pass the test.
Rodeo stock suppliers shuttle nasty broncos to rodeos. If the stock isn't nasty enough, riders will spur the nags to register extra ride points. No wonder why this bronco is so pissed. A spur to the neck will do that. I never had trouble with nags; they always seemed to trot over to me for a good scratching and a pat or two although they didn't seem to carry any conversation. That seemed about the same as the deer and elk I came upon. That skunk and I did not share the same experience, however.
I turned from shooting a derelict shack to shoot this statuary at my back. This sculpting is so lifelike, I wonder if the nag modeled for plaster casting? It's gone now. The entire property will soon be razed for new construction. This is another of the captures I snapped within the city limits. It appeared that the buckaroo was breaking this mustang. This must be a bronze casting with a newly applied patina. I think they never actually had any buckaroos in bronze age Mesopotamia although I bet the ancients tamed oxen, donkeys and horses to turn them to their plows and wagons. Ahhh well, right or wrong, this is ever the wild west.
I also bet the nag won't like the treatment he is getting as if the horse whisperers have not already debunked the practice of bustin' nags in the old west. This is a "road-AO" detail against the sky. I bet this ride will be short if the nag can't stand the spur! Perhaps there is a stop watch trained on this rider of the purple sage.
