CMMC – May 5th Week – Iris, Ice, Independent or Index Finger

I’m going to have to rely on the archive for this Midweek Madness Challenge…

I think we’ll go in reverse order…

Index Finger – and Middle finger, is all that was between this shot and a goal…

…Gav deflected it onto the crossbar😎

Independent – A term used by bus enthusiasts for any operator outside of corporations, transport executives and the national bus company – In Doncaster you could find lots of South Yorkshire PTE buses and some independent operators…

…Like this Leon’s bus sandwiched between two South Yorkshire PTE vehicles.

Ice – Forming the surface of a pond on Hampstead Heath…

…and a Heron practising its skating skills😅

Iris – What more needs to be said?…

CMMC – May Alphabet any word with an “I”

I’m actually posting this on time – if there is such a thing in the WordPressiverse 😂 This Midweek Madness Challenge should be quite easy but there’s always some room for misinterpretation 🤣👍

Lets go for the easy start – Here’s a Train…

…and standing next to the cab, talking to the driver, is the Dispatcher – a key member of staff on busy platforms like at Clapham Junction to ensure passenger safety.

You can usually rely on plants for this sort of challenge – Here’s a Scabious flower…

…and, although the name suggests it’s blue, it looks very Lilac to me!

Here’s Oliver…

…Exiled from his native South Africa, Oliver Tambo made his home in Muswell Hill and fought the political battle against the Apartheid South African Regime from there.

Lets finish on a bright note – a vivid Pink…

Total Recall

Pigeons have a photographic memory and recall every train they’ve ever seen- which is just as well since they can’t write the numbers down in a notebook. I think this guy was hoping to see his last Class 450…

Taken on a spotting trip at Clapham Junction. Being only Human, I have to use a notebook 🤣
