The town over in the right-distance is Kelso. Heading towards it are two rivers, the Tweed on the left and the Teviot on the right. They meet just before the town. Nine hundred years ago, David I, King of Scots, realised that the long narrowing neck of land between the two rivers would be the ideal place for a castle. The outcome, now only represented by tree covered lumps and ditches, was Roxburgh Castle (once known as Marchmount Castle) - the greatest of all Scotland's border fortresses.
Roxburgh (without an 'e') Castle is owned by the Duke of Roxburghe (with an 'e') who lives in Floors Castle - the prominent building on the far side of the Tweed.
(I have been here a couple of times, so the following photos are a mix of 10 year old photos taken on a grey day and much better drone photos, taken on a sunny day!)
This should cool everyone off just a bit on such a hot summer day(s)! Amtrak No. 8, the Empire Builder, crosses the infamous Two Medicine Bridge at East Glacier, Montana, surrounded by the stark beauty of a winter wonderland on March 3, 1989. It was so cold on this trip that a six-pack of Dr. Pepper froze overnight on the floor behind the front seats of the rental car. We didn’t realize it until one of the cans blew up and sent brown slush everywhere. We got rid of the rest of those “Dr. Pepper grenades” as soon as we could . . . ah, the joys of photographing trains in winter.
All it will take is a collection of stitched-together bison hides and a central fire-pit and these, two-of-a-kind, still under construction,
"room with a view" condos can be yours if you act quickly. No pesky lawn to mow. Only lovely wildflowers. The Mission Mountains in your backyard. A fresh water-source in the side yard. Who do you know who has a view-field anywhere near as magnificent as this homesite has? As much privacy as this one
has? The peace and serenity? And where are the troublesome neighbors? Nowhere to be seen, that's where? Do not hesitate, home-shoppers. This one won't last ! Lease to own, own to lease. We are entertaining all serious offers. Short term leasing available. And, as an extra incentive, all home tours feature free balloons for the kiddies.
I made this capture just outside the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana in Charlo, about 50 miles north of Missoula and just shy of the lovely town of Polson on the shores of Flathead Lake.
What kid hasn't fallen in love with teepees once or twice in his life. And what respectable senior citizen doesn't still have a goodly amount of kid in him?
(A free hot tip: Do make sure to visit the Museum here right
on Route 93. I highly recommend it. It is one of the best
Native American museums in the west and also features some marvelous fine art, very unique cards, gifts and jewelry. Do tell
Jo that Dennis says hello. And ask for a free night in the teepee).
I have meeting two deers when i was on the railfanning on the Saint-Lawrence & Atlantic at Coaticook, i can't wait to go there again!

▶ A diamond in the rough: a brewery and taproom in an industrial park. Recommended to me by 'craft' beer professionals on Facebook. Sometimes, the interwebs do deliver on their promise.

"English Export Stout"
6.9% alcohol
☞ "Deeply roasty, with a hypnotic darkness and scary drinkability. Monsters covet and hoard the British malt notes of espresso, & light toffee."
☞ Me: Lovely British Maris Otter malt for base; sapid but not overdone treacle from dark malts; alcoholic slap at end dries the finish.
▶ Calusa Ringstrasse (right)
"Vienna-style Lager"
5.5% alcohol
☞ "A brilliant clarity of autumnal copper reveals the toasted, full character of the finest continental malt and crisp finish of noble hops.
☞ Me: Not "brilliantly" clear, but a well-executed lager nonetheless, expressing lightly toasted crackers, an elegant (not fruity) sweet middle, and, indeed, a crisp finish.

Yesterday was a perfect day! My son, maybe and I made a great walk, took a lot of photo's, the sun was sinning...
But....
So much sunshine my cam didn't do his work very well...or was it me?? I guess so!
The colors in many photo's isn't good, the sky isn't blue!
What did I do wrong? can somebody tell me?
A lone cloud is in the sky along with the two massive smokestacks of Hatfield's Ferry Power Station.
A group of deer observe a couple eagles eating something that has died. Truly the circle of life in a photo.
A collaborative diptych - taken for a group 52.5 of 2010.
My friend Diana (Di's Eyes') and I met for lunch and took a photowalk around Little Italy.... we took doors, buildings, murals, reflections and then found a small shop that had masks. It was Ash Wednesday just after Mardi Gras... we started snapping and when put together thought they were the best. We had a wonderful afternoon for a fun project!
The image I took is on the left and Diana's is on the right her photostream is:

I must say this has been the best project for me I collaborated with two special people from the group, one close and one far!
