Driving in Haiti is crazy. This is a narrow (duh) street on our way up to our walled compound. There are no sidewalks, and people could be on either side. The only rule of the road seems to be the bigger vehicle gets the right of way.
On our first day, our bus was met by a pickup truck coming down the hill. Each driver started yelling at the other, and there was a man standing on the street whose head moved back and forth as if he were watching a tennis match. Finally, he started yelling at the pickup driver and motioning him to back up.
Now look carefully at the space above: Can you imagine a bus and a pickup truck side by side? Haitian drivers come much closer to other vehicles and people than I have ever seen in the States. And they weave around each other on bigger roads like nobody's business. Whenever a driver is on a curve, he beeps the horn so that drivers in the other direction know that he is coming.
XX and XX at the Trust for the National Mall's annual Benefit Luncheon, which attracted more than 600 of Washington's business, political and philanthropic leaders. Held in a tent constructed between the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument, the Benefit Luncheon is a truly unique and impressive event focused on helping the Trust restore this historic National Park.
"Let us ... remember Peter: three times he denied Jesus, precisely when he should have been closest to him; and when he hits bottom he meets the gaze of Jesus who patiently, wordlessly, says to him: "Peter, don't be afraid of your weakness, trust in Me." Peter understands, he feels the loving gaze of Jesus and he weeps. How beautiful is this gaze of Jesus — how much tenderness is there! Brothers and sisters, let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of God!"
– Pope Francis: (Homily on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, 2013)

I've not been to Nupend Wood for a few weeks since the bluebells had finished. I'd decided first to have a look at Common Hill reserve close-by. Common Hill is a small pasture of 2-3 acres just outside of Fownhope, Herefordshire. As I had hoped, lots of common spotted orchids were in bloom. The reserve is managed by Herefordshire nature trust as is Nupend wood, both lie along the River Wye trail. The trust lay corrugated sheet in parts of the meadows to give shelter for local reptiles and I always hope for a suprise when I lift one of these. To my delight the site at Common hill revealed a wonderful grass snake, and a slo worm. Both were close to one another and it occured to me that they must not pose a threat to one another and the grass snake dosn't consider the sloworm as a meal. Anyway that was my first grass snake and it was engaging to see his eyes focused on me and his tongue tasting the air. Wonderful.
My next visit was to Nupend wood to look for the Stinking Iris, hopfully in bloom. And yes, the Iris are blooming and I hope will be around for a few weeks. I walked up the lane to the pastures at Nupend, lots of birdboxes along the way in the surrouding woods. I wonder why there are so many types. Walking through the pastures my eyes were taken by the sight of Greater butterfly orchids in flower. I'd not expected any here and where I had hoped to find some, Joans Hill Farm, there were none, at least where I looked. Sometimes it's easy to miss things but once an eye focuses, more just pop up. Under the corrugated at Nupend were three or more slo worms. No grass snakes this time. I will post more images as time allows.

this is a study of the self, specifically my intuition. (influenced by Jungian psychology)
As the new accommodation nears completion, the Trust's collection is starting to be moved into it's new home, here the North London Railway 2nd Class enters the new building for the first time where it will stand over the pit behind the RMB.

Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.

Built for the first Lord Berwick in 1785, Attingham Hall and its beautiful parkland were owned by one family for more than 160 years. As their fortunes rose and fell they proved themselves to be spenders, savers and saviours - providing a fascinating story of love and neglect whose mark still stands in Attingham’s rooms today.
I trust I am exactly where
I am to be here and now
I accept this as my truth.
I trust my steps are guided
As I follow the path before me
Knowing not where it may lead.
I trust I am meant to live
The life of my dreams
My heart tells me it is so.
As living and dreaming are one
For what would life be
Without our dreams.
~ S.
