We took a walk on the Black Diamond Trail and the farmer who owns the land along the trail was out cutting the grass along his cornfield.
these were a huge mess inside a sewing box, now I can pick them easily, if I ever feel brave enough to start on a sewing project!
I figured after 3 years it was time to update the old photos in my "Making A New You" series.

A spring tidy tips flower.
This photographs takes me back just a few months to this past April, when a wetter-than-normal winter produced a spectacular wildflower bloom all over California. The state's late-winter and spring transition is always special, but in these wet years it can astound. Places that are dry and brown most of the year are magically transformed — with fields of lush grasses and wildflowers everywhere.
In early April we made a weeklong trip to some of these typically dry areas to photograph the brief display. We spent a couple of days in the hills located roughly between the coast and the Central Valley. As we headed east, into increasingly drier climates, we stopped at one remarkable valley carpeted with wildflowers, the place where I made this photograph.

The first true coaches to enter service with Maidstone & District for a number of years arrived in April 1988. The vehicles in question were a pair of Leyland Tiger TRCTL11/2ARH fitted with Plaxton ‘Paramount 3500 3’ coachwork. Originally numbered 2186 and 2187 they were renumbered C186 and C187 in January 1990. C186 (E186 XKO) is seen here at Thurrock Services on the M25 motorway in Essex on June 7th 1992.
I assume these are compliments of CalTrans, but they are native wildflowers: Tidy Tips, Layia platyglossa, and Sky Lupine, Lupinus nanus,

A tidy tips flower, above a bed of baby blue-eyes.
My relationship with things that require naming is... complicated. I photograph birds, but I only know the identities of a few particular types that I photograph. I've never been able to recall the names of the various trees of California, aside from the most obvious ones. And flowers have always been a problem. I may know the flower by sight, I might be able to tell you when and where to find it, and it is possible that I can even describe the plant it grows on. My naming the flower? Not likely. At best, I can manage to keep track of the popular names of a few of the most obvious and familiar types — California golden poppy, paintbrush, shooting star, and a few others.
But this one I know is called "tidy tips." (Unless someone is pulling my leg...) The name seems to make sense, and I presume that it refers to the striking pattern of the yellow center and the white tips of the petals. I photographed this specimen in a central California meadow in early April, when this years spectacular bloom was at its peak. The flower is an individual specimen, but it grew among many, many thousands of other flowers including the baby blue-eye that appear in the background.

Taken in May 1982
SR/BR 4-SUB unit 4298 at Slade Green station, on a gloomy day in May 1982. The route indicator has been replaced by a hand-written board..
The unit had entered service with BR in July 1949, and was withdrawn in September 1983, and scrapped in April 1986. One example has been preserved, and operated for some years in an (incorrect) Southern Railway livery, and was later put into storage. After spending 20 years in the open air, it is now (2025) in the old Hornby factory in Margate, and funds are being raised for its – cosmetic – restoration.. The station looks tidier now, and passenger services are provided by Southern Railway and Thameslink.. The open area on the left has more trees on it, and most of the tower blocks in the distance, have gone..

I don't make a bad housewife in all truth. I don't mind doing the washing and tidying however i am not keen on cooking i think its one of those in the shadow of my wife (who is a fab cook) kind of things. cheese on toast isn't really a dinner is it.
If these two photos haven't disturbed you enough the next will.
Just 46,555 miles when last MoTed earlier this year. The tidy condition certainly accords with that.
I don't understand why work tables turn into mess every 2-3 days. Can't they remain tidy forever? lol
