A male wheatear along one of the stonewall perimeter boundaries in the Padcombe Valley area of Cleeve Common in Gloucestershire. This is the same bird that featured in an upload a few days ago.

This is about the best I could get at Stonewall Falls in Rabun Co. The sun was out, more than in and when it was in it was only very briefly. It made for a tough time exposing the image. I have not fully decided if I like this shot or not, the composition seems a little off, the falls to me is pushed too far to the right side.
This is the airplane that is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Air Force One-Half," although any plane that carries the president of the United States is Air Force One when it's in the air. This Lockheed JetStar, now permanently displayed at the LBJ Ranch near Stonewall, Texas, flew Lyndon Johnson in and out of the ranch when he was vice president and president in the 1960s.
Johnson traveled on a Boeing 707 for most trips when he was president, but he also had a fleet of smaller planes available to him, including several JetStars. The larger plane could not land at the ranch because the 6,300-foot asphalt airstrip was not long enough. However, a JetStar could land and taxi to within 200 yards of LBJ’s so-called Western White House along the Pedernales River.
This 13-passenger Jetstar was rescued from the Pentagon's "bone yard" in 2015, and was moved to its now permanent home on the LBJ ranch the following year after an exterior restoration. The LBJ ranch was known as the "Texas White House" during Johnson's years as president. The ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and is now a national park located about 50 miles (80 km) west of Austin.

On the way to cooking class I saw this high wall. It made me think of Kaffe Fassett and his amazing fabric designs.
Equestrian statue of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson on Henry House Hill at the Manassas Battlefield. The battle of First Manassas (First Bull Run) was fought here on 21 July 1861. Jackson received the nickname "Stonewall" when General Barnard Bee (killed shortly thereafter) directed his troops to rally behind Jackson, who was "standing there like a stone wall".

With some recent rains and a couple of cloudy days it was time to do some woodland exploring. The first stop over the weekend was the beautiful Stonewall Falls. This is a waterfall I had always heard of but never taken the time to venture back to. These smaller waterfalls with downstream scenic cascades never disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised by the photo opportunities here. There were some other water features along the creek, but most of those were hit by a good bit of downfall... luckily the primary falls itself is all clear.
I put together a video of the adventure if you would like to see this waterfall along with some other sights & sounds of the creeks in action.
