The alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a species of South American camelid. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas. The two animals are closely related and can successfully cross-breed. Alpacas and llamas are also closely related to the vicuña, which is believed to be the alpaca's wild ancestor, and to the guanaco. There are two breeds of alpaca: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca. Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Southern Peru, Western Bolivia, Ecuador, and Northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m to 5,000 m above sea level. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be working animals but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to sheep's wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. 50687
from cataract to bubbling fountain... It has infinite variety, and no part is ever duplicated. Its colors, though many and complex at any instant, change with the ascending and declining sun; lights and shadows appear and vanish with the passing clouds, and the changing seasons mark their passage in changing colors. You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view, as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted, but to see it you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths :-)

Allium giganteum, common name giant onion, is an Asian species of onion, native to central and southwestern Asia but cultivated in many countries as a flowering garden plant. It is the tallest species of Allium in common cultivation, growing to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft).
In early to midsummer, small globes of intense purple umbels appear, followed by attractive fruiting umbels. A popular cultivar, 'Globemaster', is shorter (80 centimetres (31 in)) but produces much larger, deep violet, umbels (15–20 centimetres (5.9–7.9 in)). Both varieties have been granted the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
In nature, the species is found in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.. In cultivation in the US, it performs well.

This Variety/ Convenience store is still a Variety/ Convenience store. On major Toronto arterial roads (College, Queen or Dundas Street) some of these were converted to a restaurant and left untouched on the outside. The street retains this way some of the character. Kind of reverse Potemkin effect. The mural on the side is reflecting the Portuguese community, which moved into this neighborhood in 1950's

Sometimes the sea looks grey or with an assortment of blues and adding a touch of white foam or sea diamonds. Pastels, reflections ripples, patterns and the intensity of the sun add to the variety of sea artwork to be appreciated.
I find these Variety/ Convenience stores interesting to photograph. I am not in habit to shop there and I am surprised how many survive in the city. This one is on Bathurst Street, close to Central Tech, but the school closures must make a dent in the earnings. (Jun 13, 2021, P1490257, Upl Jun 19, 2021)

It is the first year we have this variety of daffodils in the garden. As you may have seen in photos I posted earlier on, they are not all identical.
At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

An old familiar. . . . . aka Coreopsis. This one growing near a city sidewalk--brightening the streetscape. It's the lance-leafed variety.
Back in 2009, two SD60s, one each INRD and SOO along with an SD40-2XR from MRL lead a K203 from Roseport, MN, for the INRD at Fayette, IN. Fifteen more miles lay ahead as it passes the north end of Clinton siding on CSX.

While most of the images I post are of abandoned places, this is not. This beauty is on it way to being refurbished.
The joint Union Pacific and Utah Railway yard was packed with interesting equipment the morning of Aug. 27, 1978. Parked along the turntable pit are GP7 No. 120, GP30 No. 873, and GP9 No. 312. TR5 “Cow & Calf” No. 1875/1875B are spotted on the roundhouse lead while Utah Railway wood caboose No. 60 is parked out of service on a side track.
I was taking photos of the Wildfire that burnt near Brookmere, BC this summer and noticed that this Spruce tree still had some green branches while the other trees seemed to perish. Then I noticed that there was a variety of different conifers growing side by side. As well as the Spruce, there is a Lodgepole Pine, a Ponderosa Pine, and what I think is a fir tree. Interesting that this area is suitable for all these different types of trees.
