New on the road at Owen's is this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Altas / EVM Cityline, RX26 NLF. It wears the new Bws Powys livery, but sadly a this point in time has no branding. It works various Powys tenders and as part of this reaches Oswestry on a Wednesday and Friday only as 73 Llanfair Caereinion - Oswestry, does two loops 78 Oswestry - Llansilin - Oswestry and then back to Llanfair Caereinion as captured here. The blind however locked on the Owen's Coaches flash between the destination on the 73.
SN/NC: Handroanthus Serratifolius, Syn. H Chrysantha, H Chrysotricha, H Chrysanthus, H Chrysotrichus, H Impetiginosa, H Albus, Tabebuia Chrysantha, T Serratifolia, Bignoniaceae Family
This beautiful noble wood tree which has a spectacular flowering season in Brazil and has the scientific name Handroanthus Serratifolius or Tabebuia chrysantha. It is known as guayacan in Colombia, as tajibo in Bolivia, and as ipê-amarelo in Brasil. It is a native tree of the intertropical broadleaf deciduous forests of South America above the Tropic of Capricorn. On May 29, 1948, Tabebuia chrysantha was declared National Tree of Venezuela since being an emblematic native species of extraordinary beauty, locally known as Araguaney. Its deep yellow resembles the one on the Venezuelan flag. It is also the national tree of Paraguaya and El Salvador (in the rose version). It is one of about 100 species of Tabebuia. Chrysantha is derived from two Greek words and means "golden flower". Araguaney appears to derive from "aravenei", the ancient word by which the Kalina people (Caribs) designated this tree. Ipê, wood that is tough as nails, a Tupi word.

この美しく気高い高木は、ブラジルで見事な開花季節を迎え、学名をHandroanthus SerratifoliusまたはTabebuia chrysanthaといいます。コロンビアではグアヤカン（guayacán）、ボリビアではタヒボ（tajibo）、ブラジルではイペ・アマレロ（ipê-amarelo）として知られています。南米の回帰線間広葉樹落葉林に自生する樹木です。1948年5月29日、その類い稀な美しさからベネズエラの国樹に宣言され、現地ではアラグアネイ（Araguaney）として知られています。その深い黄色はベネズエラ国旗の黄色を連想させます。また、パラグアイとエルサルバドル（ピンク花種）の国樹でもあります。Tabebuia属約100種のうちの一つです。Chrysanthaはギリシャ語の2つの言葉に由来し、「黄金の花」を意味します。Araguaneyは、カリナ族（カリブ人）がこの木を指して使っていた古語「aravenei」に由来するようです。Ipêは「釘のように硬い木」を意味するトゥピ語です。
هذه الشجرة الجميلة النبيلة ذات الخشب النفيس، والتي لها موسم إزهار مذهل في البرازيل واسمها العلمي Handroanthus Serratifolius أو Tabebuia chrysantha. تُعرف باسم guayacán في كولومبيا، وtajibo في بوليفيا، وipê-amarelo في البرازيل. وهي شجرة أصلية في الغابات النفضية عريضة الأوراق بين المدارية في أمريكا الجنوبية فوق مدار الجدي. في 29 مايو 1948، تم الإعلان عن Tabebuia chrysantha كشجرة وطنية لفنزويلا لكونها نوعًا أصليًا emblematic ذا جمال استثنائي، تُعرف محليًا باسم Araguaney. يصفرها العميق يشبه اللون الأصفر في العلم الفنزويلي. وهي أيضًا الشجرة الوطنية لباراغواي والسلفادور (بالنوع الوردي). وهي واحدة من حوالي 100 نوع من Tabebuia. كلمة Chrysantha مشتقة من كلمتين يونانيتين وتعني "الزهرة الذهبية". يبدو أن اسم Araguaney مشتق من "aravenei"، الكلمة القديمة التي استخدمها شعب كالينا (الكاريبي) للإشارة إلى هذه الشجرة. Ipê، خشب متين مثل الحديد، وهي كلمة من لغة التوبي.
这种美丽而高贵的珍贵木材树种，在巴西拥有壮观的开花季节，学名为Handroanthus Serratifolius或Tabebuia chrysantha。在哥伦比亚被称为guayacán，在玻利维亚被称为tajibo，在巴西则被称为ipê-amarelo（黄色钟花树）。它是南美洲南回归线以上热带阔叶落叶林的原生树种。1948年5月29日，Tabebuia chrysantha被宣布为委内瑞拉的国树，因为它是具有非凡美丽的标志性本土物种，在当地称为Araguaney。其深黄色与委内瑞拉国旗上的黄色相似。它也是巴拉圭和萨尔瓦多（粉红色版本）的国树。它是Tabebuia属约100个物种之一。Chrysantha源自古希腊语的两个词，意为"金色的花"。Araguaney似乎源自"aravenei"，这是卡利纳人（加勒比人）称呼这种树的古词。Ipê在图皮语中意为"坚硬如钉的木材"。

Continuing this brief series of cool sights I saw on a single morning outing to Grasslands, the park at my doorstep. These two Moose with their calves were a surprise; I tend to see moose more often in fall and winter. And last year there was considerable noise and commotion as contractors built a new bridge across the Frenchman River - resulting in many wildlife species, including moose, steering clear of the area until things settled down.
But.. they're ba-ack!
I'm so happy. They add an extra touch of wildness to the prairie landscape. Twenty-four years ago, when I first spent some extended time hanging out in this place, moose were a rare sighting. In the interim, they have arrived to occupy the valley, and other prairie locations, too; biologists are not sure why.
My theory? They find ample food and shelter here, where there are no natural predators, no hunting, and an abundance of peace and quiet. Essentially these are the same reasons I moved here full time in 2011. I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average moose. But maybe I'm not.
More to come...

Japanese Itoh hybrid peonies (intersectional peonies) are a cross between tree and herbaceous peonies, offering the best traits of both: large, 8-inch, long-lasting flowers (yellows, reds, pinks, corals) on strong, 3-foot shrubby stems that don't need staking. They are extremely cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and bloom for 3–4 weeks.
Coral Sunset Intersectional Itoh Peony .
A sunset in a flower! Aptly named for its awe-inspiring transformation from a radiant, vivid coral through a range of peaches, and finally, a creamy white colour, the flower is a masterpiece at every step of this sunset, and one might argue a bloom only improves with age. Unique from other coral varieties in that it opens with the most intense coral colour and has petals that are more ruffled, which perhaps contribute to a fuller appearance. Has a lower, more compact growing habit than Coral Charm. Mass plantings are recommended as flowers at different colour stages provide a visual riot in the landscape.
Side buds are possible, extending the bloom period. A favourite of the peony garden, this outstanding peony produces intense sunset coral, semi-double blossoms with rose overtones and a fluffy deep yellow stamens in the center. The lightly fragrant flowers are long lasting in fresh bouquets. ‘Coral Sunset’ blooms early in the peony season, around late spring in Ontario It is highly prized for its exemplary plant habit. and by florist as cut flower in bouquets.
Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.

This old building operates as a cafe and does a good trade from walkers that venture out in Ilkley. Dating back to 1700 is was built to accommodate a spa with three plunge pools. One his still in use today.
This shot was captured during my last visit Masai Mara,Sept 2017 when early in the morning while driving along the game reserve we came across a pride of lioness with cubs basking in the morning sunshine under a shady bush....was fortunate to capture one cub cuddled up close to one of the lioness.......

This Sandpiper can be found in Victoria in every month of the year but is most numerous during Spring and Autumn (early July to late August) migrations. Winter numbers are the highest found in Canada. They really like tidal mud flats like at Albert Head Lagoon where this one was feeding.
This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

This beautiful tree is a Japanese Maple, and is in the Japanese Garden in Washington Park, Portland. We are just getting some really beautiful fall color now.
My thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and fave's! It is heartwarming and inspiring to me.
This was the most intense aurora I’ve ever seen. With a jaw-dropping corona above, dancing curtains, rotating vortices and lightning-like events extending all the way to each horizon, nearly every square inch of the sky – for a full 360 degrees – was filled with color. This was taken about 150 miles north of the arctic circle, during a geomagnetic storm that registered a Kp=6. Moments like this quickly make up for weeks in the unbearable cold.
For those interested, I've written an article on photographing the aurora HERE
This is the view from the Imogene Pass Overlook. The overlook is a short distance from the top of Imogene. I believe it is higher than the pass, which is 13,114 feet high.
Down below from here is the MDH. I am also making a guess that this is Corkscrew Gulch, which is in the 13,000 foot range.
If you zoom into the center left of the photo you can see Corkscrew Gulch.
This male Downy Woodpecker was enjoying the suet feeder when he suddenly heard a sound that got his attention.
What ever it was must not have been anything to worry about because he stayed a bit longer to keep snacking on the suet.
Though it may not be a consist of SD45's or standard cab's, it is hard to hate anything in this scenery along the Flathead River between Dixon and Paradise. Here in what has to be one of my favorite shots of the Gas local we see the train finally breaking free of the thick cloud blanket and hitting some amazing sun east of Perma as it works west for Paradise and Pipeline, with snow capped mountains in the background adding just that little touch of pure beauty.

Listed as UNESCO in 2010, the Zhangye Danxia Landform area is known as “the eye candy of Zhangye”. Many artists admire this masterpiece as it is unbelievably colorful, like a n imaginative oil painting . Zhangye's Danxia landscape has lots of precipitous red cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high, and multicolored ridges of weathered strata, sometimes stretching to the horizon. These formations, sometimes smooth sometimes sharp, stand out against the greens or grays of the plains , looking grand and magnificent, vigorous and virile.
Across the Danxia landscape zone, a kaleidoscope of numerous red rocky outcrops resemble weird and wonderful shapes like castles, cones, towers ; as well as humans, creatures, birds and beasts. Their peaks peeping through the mist and clouds, produce mirage-like scenery of fantastic mountains and pavilions.
Zhangye 's Danxia was formed by the erosion of red sandstone, forming isolated peaks and steep stratified outcrops. Its special geological structure, combined with long-term desert conditions , freeze-thaw peeling, and wind and water erosion gave rise to its present appearance.
Geologists believe that Danxia topography is formed by folding of layered oceanic crust. Exposed slanting rock layers have different colors, textures, shapes, sizes, and patterns. The combination of differences in density and erosion create towering peaks, cave holes, and stone halls. (Sourced from Internet)
甘肅張掖國家地質公園位於中國甘肅省張掖市, 規劃面積322平方公里。 2012年4月, “甘肅張掖丹霞地質公園” 國家地質公園（建設）資格被國土資源部批准。 2016年6月, 經實地驗收, 國土資源部同意命名該處為 “甘肅張掖國家地質公園”。這裡曾因其色彩斑斕的岩石地貌而被中國多家媒體選為中國最美地貌之一, 於2008年1月被甘肅省人民政府批准為省級“肅南－臨澤丹霞地貌風景名勝區”。
該公園位於祁連山北麓, 臨澤縣和肅南縣境內。兩縣均在甘肅省地級市張掖統轄範圍內。丹霞地貌主要分佈在康樂鄉和白銀鄉地段。臨澤丹霞景區是公園的核心區域, 距張掖市區以西30公里, 臨澤縣城以南20公里。這是整個公園發展最為完善, 遊客人數最多的一個景區。 第二大景區冰溝位於梨園河北岸, 於2014年8月3日正式揭牌。 冰溝佔地總面積為300平方公里, 海拔1500-2500米。 第三大景區肅南丹霞景區位於甘肅省臨澤縣。
張掖丹霞因其與眾不同的岩石色彩而舉世聞名。這些岩石光滑而險峻, 高數百米, 是紅礫石, 砂岩和其他礦物經過2400萬年的沉澱堆積而成。這種夾層蛋糕 般的效果與構成喜馬拉雅山脈的地殼板塊運動有關。經年累月的風吹雨淋，最終被雕琢成了如今這番奇特景象, 或形似塔, 或貌似柱, 或溝壑縱橫, 色彩斑斕, 形態各異。
This phase of the decorating nearly done so I should be back with you all from early next week.
In the meantime, here's one from a very frosty walk I had last month at Elmley Nature Reserve. I hadn't checked the tide times before I went and as the tide was out, most of the birds were too. However, just as I was getting back to the car at the end of the day, the light turned golden and lit up this marvellous tree. Gorgeous.
Enlarges quite well.
This peaceful view of the Tahquamenon River on August 22, 2023 belies the labyrinth of little islands, rapids, cascades, and falls that make up the Lower Falls area further downstream.

Before posting this photo I was stumbling about a long report of Siena. A female lion, part of the Marsh Pride Lions, who was a star of the TV show BBC’s Big Cat Diary since 1996. A group of lions were accompanied by the BBC team over many years. 2014 Siena got badly injured by a buffalo attack and the healing process (it took over one year because the wound always opened again) where documented by the Wildlife veterinarians who are doing great jobs in the National Parks by the way, caring and take care of the animals when injured. Sadly Siena and other members of the group passed away in 2015. Local farmers poisoned them.
So this photo dedicated this pround animals and in memory of Siena and the other lions.
For those who are interested. Write "The Marsh Pride of Lions" on Facebook and you'll find a site about the lions.
This is really my nightmare. As a kid we used to skate on a frozen river near my house. It did not freeze sufficiently every winter but when it do it created a skating rink almost a mile long! My fear was always falling through the ice and not being able to find the whole through which I fell.

This spider is about 5 mm tall. It has woven it's web between a trash can and a woodshed. It is fascinating how filigree it has spun this web.
This is an example of the type of post-processing I sometimes do... I drop brightness and exposure way down which compacts the tonal resolution artificially, and then adjust light levels accordingly. This reduction of the number of tones in the image can produce nice drama in scenes with light/dark contrasts. At the extreme, you could have a monotone (pure black and pure white); the image above probably contains about 10 or 15 tones. (Note: In the original post I called this "Low Dynamic Range"; I believe "Low Tonal Resolution" is more accurate.) (Explore)

My day along the Ontario Midland is winding down as the crew arrives at Sodus, NY to spot a gas car and put the girls to bed. It's a blazing 74 degrees now and the sun is heating my back pretty good, but of course you know the rest. As the train approaches 150 yards away in purrrrrfect light, I get "C-Fed" by the smallest "pe***" in the sky. It hurt. It hurt real bad, but at least today's darkrooms are capable of breathing some life into an epic failure, but it it still hurts......
This was shot with the Edixa with the lens on which the ring with the M42 thread had become loose. I had hoped that stopping down would cover up any resulting focusing error and I still think it should have, so I don't know what went wrong here, but I still think the colour rendering is nice. It captures the sunny winter afternoon mood better than the black and white shots with the Varex did, though those are arguably more dramatic.

We couldn't locate the small patch of wild garlic in our local wood this year so one here is one of many from last year taken at a National Trust property at Bodmin - Lanhydrock House and Gardens. We would normally be on holiday this week as it was my birthday on Wednesday but like so many others that is on hold for whoever knows how long...
This is one of those scenes you come upon and immediately the photo-narrative smacks you right between the eyes.
This was seen in the lower level of the Hennepin County Courthouse. Usually I do my people watching in the vast atrium the floor above, but this scene I saw as I was coming down the escalator.
The woman was very co-operative being engrossed in her phone call rather than giving me the "evil eye" as I composed and shot this scene.
