... this plant sprouted and grew through the pavement on the sidewalk on my street.
Having messed up the crucial part of my last attempt here, I returned to try again.
Unfortunately, the offending roadworks that were forcing buses right off the road had been removed.
Still - this is Rydens Way after all, so it's not like there won't be any other problems! I'm sure there can't be many roads in the country that buses serve, that if a normal sized car parks up against the kerb, the bus cannot physically get past and has to mount the pavement or verge. However, Rydens Way is one of them. Technically (unless you've got a small car) just parking you car outside your house is causing an obstruction, and therefore illegal parking!
Here, the driver of 1508 (YN03 NCF) on the 462 is skillfully in stage 1 of passing these parked cars, going onto the verge to get round the Ford. Not as simple as just going up on the mud though, as there's a huge, nasty bit of concrete to the lower left of the photo, that would crunch the vehicle if it tried to go over it. So, once past the Ford, it had to come back off the verge, and inch between the concrete and the car I was standing in front of, which fortunately was a small car.
Not ideal at all - I don't think when these houses and roads were built they'd planned for everyone to have cars!!
Incidentally, there's more to the tale - as Solo 1511 was running the service in the other direction. Buses towards Guildford are on diversion to serve the south side of the green here too, usually they'd go straight to the north side. After dealing with the concrete, he went up on the mud to get past the Ford - but as he picked up speed, the bus slipped on some ice and quite violently swerved. Luckily, the driver did an impressive recovery and nothing bad happened.
The 29 degrees (plus chiling breeze) outside was offset by the warm sun beaming through the large window of the Kia dealership. I brought along some catch-up reading and was sipping the free coffee while waiting for my car to be serviced. I had my iPad in my purse, so . . .
I now wish I had placed a darker magazine on top, but this was the only one that didn't have my address visible. It doesn't look so washed out on my desktop, though, just when I uploaded it to Flickr. :-( Tweaked it a bit in Aviary--first time I had used that.
Napa Valley Autumn excursion along HWY 29, North of Calistoga. This is the entry point to Robert Luis Stevenson State Park.
Apologies to anyone who favorited this or four others I had to restrict/"close-to-views" and upload again today (I hate to lose the commentary on each, as well, though I have decided to save them in restricted form for future reference). I was getting a view for each of these five once about every ten minutes, though, and it must have been a bot or some such ("unknown source" is how it's listed in the stats...). I know something's wrong when even a mundane image is viewed more than one that is Explored... What a pain...
One more of the southbound ethanol train from Friday before last (5-4-2012), the end of which is still passing the grain elevator complex north of here at Sadlersville, Tennessee as they round the curve before crossing Bagby Road in Robertson County. I tried some slightly different processing here but probably should have toned the sky down a wee bit more in hindsight... This will likely be the last of these from this location and shoot (did I hear a sigh or two of relief? {chuckle}) ;-)

through the radar arch we see coco point's famous point. had a swim and snorkel there earlier and it was sooo nice.
A bit of a nerd response today. The hole punch went through many holes to produce all the hole negatives lying on the desk, some of which you can see through the hole in the middle.

An urban scene viewed through a scrim
This is intended to be a sort of playful photograph, though I think it might be read as having a bit of an ominous quality, too, depending upon how you look at it.
I made the photograph from inside the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). We are members of the museum and we go there regularly — partly to see the collection and the temporary exhibits, and partly to photograph the architecture, the people, and the urban environment surrounding the building. I made the photograph through a sort of scrim that was covering some windows, presumably to mute the outside light a bit. It was rainy, and a bit of water is running on the fabric of the scrim, and the overall effect is to mute contrast and detail in the urban scene outside the window.

AC Electrics 86702 and 87002 'Royal Sovereign' seen through the access arch to Platform1 at Carlisle Citadel station on18th December 2010. The locomotives were stabled here throughout the worst winter months and used overnight on 'ice-breaking' duties, removing ice from the overhead lines prior to passenger services commencing later in the morning.

Portrait through the mesh, seems a good enough subject.
The lady in the photo is a very happy zookeeper who takes care of birds in big cages.

Opportunities to get out and make new pictures are, of necessity, limited during the COVID-19 outbreak so, from 1st April 2020, I've been hunting through my archives to find images taken on the same date in previous years. I've tried to choose eight each day. They've mostly not been published here before and potentially cover the period 1980-2021. I hope you enjoy them.

This is the underground concourse connecting the East and West wings of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. - featuring "Multiverse", the light sculpture installation created by American artist Leo Villareal.
Our trip to Washington, D.C. a couple years ago was one of the more visually interesting I've been on recently. I currently don't seem to be taking many good photos, so I've been going back through the archives and, after a second look, have found quite a few more from this trip that I thought were worth posting, so here they are - enjoy!
FYI, here's the original set from this trip:
