Growing in the Urban Orchard, at 100 Union Street, London (England) SE1, on Saturday August 7 2010. Information from the website (www.urbanorchard.org.uk) of this temporary urban orchard and community garden follows:
"Following the London Festival of Architecture and lasting through the autumn, the site of 100 Union Street in SE1 has been transformed into an urban orchard and community garden.
Designed by Heather Ring of the Wayward Plant Registry for The Architecture Foundation and built with the help of Bankside Open Spaces Trust and an array of other helpful volunteers the garden will regenerate a disused site in Bankside and create a place for exchange between local residents and visitors to the Festival.
There will be a series of workshops and activities taking place in the Orchard over the next couple of months so please check out events calendar.
The Urban Orchard is also home to the LivingARK, a zero-carbon pod which is inhabited during the period of the project to showcase sustainable ways of living. The site also hosts The Nest, a pavilion created by the Finnish Institute, the Identikit by Thomas Kendal and Tamsin Hanke and a skip turned table tennis table created by Oliver Bishop-Young.
In September the garden will be dismantled and all the trees will be given to local estates and other community gardens to remain as a lasting legacy of the 2010 London Festival of Architecture.
This project is delivered in collaboration between The Architecture Foundation, Bankside Open Spaces Trust, ProjectARKs and the Wayward Plant Registry."

One of the beautiful tropical butterflies that were on display in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Taken on August 23rd. Their season came to an end ealier in October, but they will be back next spring. I love the deep orange pattern on the hind wings.
Well, so much for getting my front door replaced today! I was up at some unearthly hour because I hadn't heard back about what time they might arrive. Last night, I removed all things from nearby walls and shelves and even made sure I caught up with the dishes and cleaned the sink, lol. Then around 9:45 a.m. I think, I get a knock on the front door and the guy explains that the doors hadn't yet been delivered (some misunderstanding) and so it would be next Monday (a whole week) when they would be coming. If they happen to finish something else early before that and notice that I am home, they will stop by and ask if they can do it then instead. Can't say I was exactly impressed. Decided to grab my camera and try a few macros in my kitchen. OK, I'll admit it, I'm waiting to hear the final verdict on the Death of Michael Jackson manslaughter case : )
