After a week of ground-based communications antennas, test vehicles and the like, here's some genuine space hardware with multiple flights to its credit.
This is the original Spartan flight instrument, which was carried into space five times in the Shuttle payload bay (you can see a badge depicting five Shuttle silhouettes attached to the vehicle) and deployed for the duration of each mission into a parallel orbit with Shuttle. The programme was created by NASA in the 1980s to replace its sub-orbital sounding rocket programme.
The scientific payloads for Spartan therefore were of the same order as those formerly carried aloft by Aerobees and other sounding rockets. This retrievable system as presently instrumented houses an ultra-violet coronagraph from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and a white light coronagraph from the Goddard Space Flight Center. These devices use internal and external means of occulting the solar photosphere to reveal the structure of the sun's faint outer atmosphere. They and other similar instruments studied the solar corona on five separate occasions and played a part in numerous Shuttle exercises.
This particular configuration was reassembled by Swales, Inc., under NASA contract, for display at the Udvar-Hazy Center in 2003. It hangs from the ceiling in the Space Science section of the James S McDonnell Space Hangar.

Wood pile behind my sisters house. They have a braai inside the house because they braai so much.
I'm going to go back home in little rounder. Not that I'm complaining....
It's very rare that I photograph people, but I do like occasionally catching our Camera Club members while we are out and about on photowalks as we were last night.
We travelled over to Therfield Heath to see the butterflies there. We nearly postponed the evening as the forecast was for a chance of thunder storms...we thought, what the hell!
Did we ever see a thunderstorm - it poured and we had a large amount of thunder and ligtning but only for about half an hour, we were then rewarded with some lovely light, a rainbow and butterflies, albeit in rather damp conditions. We had a great time!

According to the Mayan oral tradition, the gods created the hummingbird by blowing an arrow carved in stone, in order to carry their wishes and thoughts among human beings. There is a belief, in that sense, that hummingbirds visit us to give us messages from God or from our deceased loved ones.
