A day trip to the Canvey Island area in Essex, It was to visit a woodland to photograph Foxes in the afternoon/evening.
These Two Foxes were giving each other a bit of attitude as the sun gets lower in the sky creating harsh lighting.

Two Rivers.
The river, personified in stone, adorns the city’s heart,
keeping company with the Rusted Man
and Queen Victoria:
A beautiful carving, but unreal, divorced from nature’s streams:
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
The true river rises in low hills to the south, in a muddy hollow
seeping from the earth, haunt of dragonfly and frog;
surrounded, in summer by willowherb and meadowsweet.
Downhill it trickles, sluggishly, through ditches and dykes,
becoming a little brook with grassy banks, marsh marigolds,
and over-hanging willows.
All too soon, the city’s edge is reached, and the infant river is throttled,
thwarted, aborted:
submerged in suburbia, constrained by concrete,
until eventually it is hidden altogether,
forced back underground, ignored, built over, forgotten.
In its place, we have invented a river,
gushing from the hands of the statue,
flowing prettily down regular steps,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
In times of heavy rain the real river rises rapidly,
rushing furiously, swollen and brown, between the restricting banks.
Suddenly it overflows, flooding roads,
causing traffic chaos and damage to property,
making nonsense of history’s attempts to tame it,
mocking,
taunting, the artificial river in the city square,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.

These are two buses I drew from memory. The one above is a Thomas bus, fitted with parts from a Leyland National bus. The one below is an old police bus, which is now a private excursion bus.

One of the few two-door Daimler Fleetlines bought by Carris in the early 1970s at work at C.Sodre, Lisbon.
The two-masted schooner is silhouetted by the setting sun as it sails off shore from the Sunset Celebration in Key West, Florida.
This could easily be the spring of 1988 all over again in the heady and happy days of Southern Vectis's 'Vintage Fleet' in operation in the years between 1986 and 1996 with these two Bristol Lodekkas reunited once again - albeit for just one day. Although mostly used in service during the summer months, the operation of SVOC 565 and 611 with the 'Vintage Fleet' was normally confined to the crew-operated services 1 and 1A connecting Ryde with Newport and Cowes, as these two routes were the busiest on the Island in terms of passenger usage back then. Although these Bristol Lodekkas were popular with bus enthusiasts and young children when they were in service with the SVOC 'Vintage Fleet' back in the late 1980s and early 1990s they were not universally popular with some of the more older residents of the Island, despite London having buses of the exact same age running in normal service until 2005.

Pour la petite histoire: ce sont 3 renardeaux qui sont arrivés en même temps que moi sur une route de forêt un peu encaissée. Moi, j'étais en voiture et eux ... à pattes! ;-) Les terriers étaient juste dans le petit talus au bord de la route. Ils ont été autant surpris que moi de voir ma voiture. J'ai immédiatement arrété mon moteur et attendu 30 sec pour qu'ils réapparraissent. J'ai même pas attendu 10 sec qu'ils étaient déjà entrain de renifler les pneus de ma voiture. Je descends alors la fenêtre et je commence à photographier. Je suis resté en tout cas 20 minutes à les regarder jouer entre eux. C'était vraiment très mignon. La maman n'étant pas là, les petits n'ont pas vraiment compris ce qui leur était arrivé ... ;-)))
.... et moi, non plus d'ailleurs.... j'en reviens encore pas !!!!

Two ladies brought red roses to our afternoon session this week, so I joined them in creating two roses, to which I later added a wet on wet background.
Two heroes: A monumental of a war hero and most well-known beer in Macedonia.
and the man who ignore the both.
I asked the two for a pic while they were sheltering from a torrential downpour in a doorway.
I have no idea who they are, but they told me how long the hair takes. 3 hours on the left and all day on the right! WHAT!
I have ten piercings in my ears. I only wear 3 earrings these days, two in this ear, one in the other.

Two days later. Most things are healing quickly. My leg road-rash is nearly gone. I was able to remove the head bandages today. The left ear is still mighty-swollen, and the stitches provide an odd sensation.
We'll see. I've been canceling job interviews because I don't quite think I'm "presentable" at the moment.
