I'm not sure of values these days. Seems to be more selfishness in my mind. This constant heat is another worry. We have had pretty unbearable humid heat here in Ontario. This has been two months of this. Hard to do anything.Even the bears won't go out.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
No, I just refuse to believe my eyes
In front of me something I can't recognize
You stood beside me all my life
The heart machines are ticking
I can hear the life support pumping
The line between life and death doesn't become any clearer than this
Covered with an oxygen mask
These words will be his last
With the energy he has got left
He turns to me and say
I can not stand by you
Till the end of the world like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly
All of a sudden I've lost my strength
Isn't it scary how things can change
Mm, in an instant just like that
Whenever I had questions
You always had the answers
You taught me about life
And the importance of being yourself
And to highly value honesty
How not to lose grip of reality
With both your feet on the ground
I can not stand by you
Till the end of the world like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly
You weren't suppose to see me like this
And I'm sorry, sorry
I must leave, it's my turn
But I will see you soon (soon)
I cannot stand by you
Till the end of the world like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly

People just decide that their boat isn't worth it anymore, they dump it or maybe it breaks down. According to CJ a local boat captain it costs they county about 15k to remove these boats and they only have a budget each year of 85K. So, when these owners determine enough is enough for them, they remove the VIN numbers and anything of value and let the rest of us pick up the mess. I really dislike people like that. Best part.... If you look at the name of the boat close up... Integrity.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.

Garden roses are predominantly hybrid roses that are grown as ornamental plants in private or public gardens. They are one of the most popular and widely cultivated groups of flowering plants, especially in temperate climates. An enormous number of garden cultivars have been produced, especially over the last two centuries, though roses have been known in the garden for millennia beforehand. While most garden roses are grown for their flowers, often in dedicated rose gardens, some are also valued for other reasons, such as having ornamental fruit, providing ground cover, or for hedging. Roses are one of the most popular garden shrubs in the world with both indoor and outdoor appeal. They possess a number of general features that cause growers and gardeners to choose roses for their gardens. This includes the wide range of colours they are available in; the generally large size of flower, larger than most flowers in temperate regions; the variety of size and shape; the wide variety of species and cultivars that freely hybridize.

Tuinrozen zijn overwegend hybride rozen die als sierplant in particuliere of openbare tuinen worden gekweekt. Ze zijn een van de meest populaire en meest gekweekte groepen bloeiende planten, vooral in gematigde klimaten. Er is een enorm aantal tuincultivars geproduceerd, vooral in de afgelopen twee eeuwen, hoewel rozen al duizenden jaren eerder in de tuin bekend waren. Hoewel de meeste tuinrozen worden gekweekt voor hun bloemen, vaak in speciale rozentuinen, worden sommige ook om andere redenen gewaardeerd, zoals het hebben van sierfruit, het verstrekken van bodembedekkers of voor afdekking. Rozen zijn een van de meest populaire tuinheesters ter wereld met zowel binnen als buiten aantrekkingskracht. Ze hebben een aantal algemene kenmerken die kwekers en tuinders ertoe brengen om rozen voor hun tuinen te kiezen. Dit omvat het brede scala aan kleuren waarin ze verkrijgbaar zijn; de over het algemeen grote bloemgrootte, groter dan de meeste bloemen in gematigde streken; de verscheidenheid aan grootte en vorm; de grote verscheidenheid aan soorten en cultivars die vrijelijk hybridiseren.
Gartenrosen sind überwiegend Hybridrosen, die als Zierpflanzen in privaten oder öffentlichen Gärten angebaut werden. Sie sind eine der beliebtesten und am weitesten verbreiteten Gruppen von Blütenpflanzen, insbesondere in gemäßigten Klimazonen. Vor allem in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten wurde eine enorme Anzahl von Gartensorten produziert, obwohl Rosen im Garten schon seit Jahrtausenden bekannt waren. Während die meisten Gartenrosen wegen ihrer Blüten angebaut werden, oft in speziellen Rosengärten, werden einige auch aus anderen Gründen geschätzt, z. B. als Zierfrüchte, als Bodendecker oder zur Absicherung. Rosen sind einer der beliebtesten Gartensträucher der Welt und sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenbereich attraktiv. Sie besitzen eine Reihe allgemeiner Merkmale, die Züchter und Gärtner veranlassen, Rosen für ihre Gärten zu wählen. Dazu gehört die große Auswahl an Farben, in denen sie erhältlich sind; die im Allgemeinen große Blume, größer als die meisten Blumen in gemäßigten Regionen; die Vielfalt an Größe und Form; die große Vielfalt an Arten und Sorten, die frei hybridisieren.

ورود الحدائق هي في الغالب ورود هجينة تزرع كنباتات للزينة في حدائق خاصة أو عامة. إنها واحدة من أكثر مجموعات النباتات المزهرة انتشارًا وشعبية ، خاصة في المناخات المعتدلة. تم إنتاج عدد هائل من أصناف الحدائق ، خاصة خلال القرنين الماضيين ، على الرغم من أن الورود كانت معروفة في الحديقة لآلاف السنين مسبقًا. بينما تُزرع معظم ورود الحدائق لزهورها ، غالبًا في حدائق ورود مخصصة ، يتم تقدير بعضها أيضًا لأسباب أخرى ، مثل الحصول على فاكهة الزينة ، أو توفير غطاء أرضي ، أو للتحوط. الورود هي واحدة من أشهر شجيرات الحدائق في العالم مع جاذبية داخلية وخارجية. لديهم عدد من الميزات العامة التي تجعل المزارعين والبستانيين يختارون الورود لحدائقهم. يتضمن ذلك مجموعة واسعة من الألوان التي تتوفر بها ؛ الحجم الكبير للزهرة بشكل عام ، أكبر من معظم الأزهار في المناطق المعتدلة ؛ تنوع الحجم والشكل. مجموعة واسعة من الأنواع والأصناف التي تهجين بحرية.BOT

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.
Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
