Boulder County eventually reopened Pella Crossing Park at Hygiene after the floods a decade ago. Who thought that a flood plain with multiple gravel pits, a river bottom and a Mill and other ditches would ever flood in the age of global orangeman warming... We have met the enemy and he is a liar. Apparently there are several prairie castle owners who prefer this flood plain. This all started when I delivered a couple of the tomato plants to Ronnie in Hygiene. He related that the park on the other side of the railroad tracks, had reopened. It's been some time since I wandered the area.
Now Pella was an original St. Vrain river ford settlement, like Longmont, that long disappeared unlike Longmont. Hygiene eventually sprung up north of old Pella. I earlier visited the park east of North 75th Street south of Hygiene. Some clouding finally showed up so I parked at Ronnie's which is closer to the west side Marlatt Trails and headed out on my trek under threatening skies. After a couple of treks in hundred degree heat, a sprinkle is enormously welcome. A sprinkle here is a state of mind. Off and around the railroad tracks to head west along Dragonfly Pond.
The weather kicked in before I got far and stated blowing this scene and trekkers around. It kicked into near hail and I should have grabbed a plastic bag at Ronnie's. I wrapped my shirt tail around the camera and turned away from the blow. Others scattered back to the parking and left me alone in the near hail. I got wet and boy, that felt great in the breeze. The trails were all my own then. El grande! The blow is on its way through this scene of the warning sign. I expect pond algae is wildlife too, pretty tame though! This spot looks less than wild to me. Any wildlife will be lucky going forward in the age of orangeman dictators. Do I spy some ducks? I can see geese at Golden Ponds at any time\, but ducks? They are often there too. The sign held its ground. I headed out in the long awaited cool.
A Caetano bodied DAF RIL 8132 is seen here at Milton Keynes whilst working on rail replacement work for Tates of Markyate on 1st September 2002. The Tates company was for many years a well respected name among the area's coaching companies until the name and goodwill was bought by A to B Travel of Luton on the retirement of the Tate brothers in the mid-2010's.

The Kings Ferry was the biggest buyer of the 25 Mercedes 0303s bodied by Plaxton in 1990, and their examples are recognisable as the standard Paramount grille was replaced with a blank panel featuring the Mercedes star.

The Bolaven Plateau is laced with beautiful waterfalls, and this was one of the nicest. Unfortunately, it was also incredibly difficult to photograph due to the sun's position, heavy shadows and vast size. Of course I had to try a few long exposure shots with an ND filter.
