I assume these are compliments of CalTrans, but they are native wildflowers: Tidy Tips, Layia platyglossa, and Sky Lupine, Lupinus nanus,
Just north of Pt. Piedras Blancas, NW San Luis Obispo Co., California

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.

This looked like a very tidy pre-facelift 205. Excellent MOT history too, with only one fail on record (in 2008!).
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.
A clean looking 66044 passes through a remarkably tidy Gaer Junction before the masts started to appear back in May 2017. 6H23 06:24 Margam Terminal Complex to Llanwern Exchange Sidings.
I don't understand why work tables turn into mess every 2-3 days. Can't they remain tidy forever? lol
The lovely yellow flowers with white-tipped petals, blooming around Soda Lake at Carrizo Plain National Monument.

Tidying up in the Quaker cemetery on the newly laid wood chipped path, Hull General Cemetery. A memorial to Matthew Gold Photos taken with an iPhone SE on a cold blustery day.In monochrome.
This picture is looking down Drapery towards the junction with Mercers Row in Northampton. The two buses are both Daimler CVG6 with Roe H33/26R bodies. JVV 213 dates from 05/1959 and ENH 253D from 01/1966 some naughty person has opened the emergency exit upstairs on 253. Also present in this traffic free shot is an Austin 1800 and a very new looking white Bedford HA van. the picture is undated but I would suggest 1968 as a start.

*Scanners note. This picture come from a new box of Peter's bus pictures discovered this morning in a box marked trains, bless him! This particular picture is so thin there is no visible detail in the sky or road. The Epson scanner found it, how did it do that? I only scanned it to see what would happen, Photoshop did the rest! okay it's not wonderful but it nearly went in the bin.

Seen still looking very smart and tidy is one of Dudley's coaches. Being a smaller operator, they take pride in their fleet, whether they're on their excursions or schools (when I went to school on their coaches, I was always happy with their fleet as they are quite interesting).
Dudley's Coaches' S577 KJF is seen dropping passengers off on the Kinwarton Road, just before School Road while spending the day operating the free shuttle service for the Alcester food festival. Dudleys always operate this, and as I had spare time before work, I decided to drive to their Park & Ride site and give the service a go. I was rather impressed again, but it was busy (especially compared to my old school run which only had about 10 people on at most...) S577KJF was new to Fowler Coaches and is a Volvo B10M-62/Plaxton Excalibur. It carries the name "The Flyford Connection II."
