Mandarin Monday: Steam Train

See more of this steam train here: Steam Train Nostalgia

Below I’m playing around a little for Mandarin Monday ▼

The text on the back of his vest says “engine driver”

I like how the features of the people inside the train stood out more when I turned the photos into “drawings”. The man leaning out of the window in the first picture; and the woman standing in the doorway in the second one.

 

 

Mandarin Orange Monday

A couple of weeks at a wedding in the Museum Park (see post at my other blog) I spotted this orange & green car (coming to deliver something for the catering, I think).

I “took it for a spin” especially for Mandarin Monday

 

 

 

Mosaic/Mandarin Monday: Azaleas

The Azaleas are in full bloom just now in the old cemetery close to where I live. Took the camera for a walk there late Sunday afternoon… There are also red ones and yellow ones, but I made this selction of orange ones for…

Mandarin Orange Monday and Mosaic Monday

Advent Calendar – Thursday 22nd December 2011

“When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out -
because that’s what’s inside. When you are squeezed,
what comes out is what is on the inside.”

Orange Tip Butterfly

   

Orange Tip – Anthocharis cardamines – Aurorafjäril

These photos are rather blurry and heavily cropped, but I decided to post them anyway, because it is the first time I’ve ever seen this butterfly! It was very small and it didn’t let me get close enough for a proper macro shot. With its wings folded it became almost invisible. When I saw it I didn’t have clue what it might be, but I managed to find it on the internet when I got back home.
