Love your recent skies, BTW. :-) -

Action shot!!

Maybe a Fashion Focussed thread…. warm cardies, parkas and whatnot for staying warm while continuing to catch those Autumn pictures.....

Thrush?
Starling.
Deserves a better response, especially after that beautifully well done duck on the blue thread. Another starling through window-glass the other day, scoffing a fig. (So this is Fig. 1) The degree of spottiness is highly variable.
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 - Starling is in boots and all. These from closer, at my parents' bird-feeder, in October a few years ago. Yellow bill for the breeding season. Each arrowhead/triangular white spot is a feather tip.

Hebe,
The weirdest potato in the world came out of our backyard today.

A mighty peculiar potato! Have you eaten it yet?

Hebe, in reply to
Have you eaten it yet?
No, it is 5 to 6cm high, so not much of a meal there! Technically it is two potatoes: one with Mickey Mouse ears and another dangling on the cord (stolon?) I wish I had taken a photo of the two rude tomatoes we harvested a few weeks ago. they were remarkably, er, protuberant. I am trying also to capture a photo of Bossy Flossy with no clothes on: she is moulting horribly. She seems aware of her tattiness and runs into the bushes when anyone comes near.
Peculiar veges and gargoyle animals: suburban Kiwi gothic.

A couple of photos from our trip across the Mojave Desert this weekend, following the old Route 66 (Amboy CA in particular)
-
I particularly like this one, with this abandoned oasis offering that new-fangled invention of television

... and the shell of a once-grand hotel by the railway tracks in Needles CA (the town where the Joad family in Grapes of Wrath first encountered California)
-
Wow, great Geoff. What a trip you're having.

I have to ask, is there a sister town called Pins?
Love the house with the tree coming out the top - that's indoor outdoor flow!
-
Hot red summer stuff
-
And late summer stuff

Jos,
Love the Kiwi gothic hebe.
What a trip Geoff, never come down!
Love the shadowy gate Nora.

Named after rock features nearby--pinnacles with wind-blown holes in them, But Needles is a prickly sort of town--gets up to 49c in summer and if it rains, it is hot rain, The end point of the journey of the Joad family and the starting point of Two-lane Blacktop
If you ever get there, I recommend breakfast at the Wheelhouse Restaurant ("Favourite amongst locals since 1978"). But avoid Porky's (next to the Desert Mirage Motel) as the food is horrible.

What was most extraordinary was driving by volcano cones, surrounded by extensive ancient lava flows. Really empty roads too across the Mohave Desert.

Nora Leggs, in reply to
So much to see eh?!
California car
Auckland car

Jos,
I was going to suggest an orange thread, this sure looks like the start!
Either that or a crazy car thread, I like shrinking them to fit. I like this little Porsche, Pity the owner will probably never see the photo. :)
