Big surprise on Sunday morning. There were strange sounds coming from the inside of one of the breakfast eggs - then the surface of this egg started cracking, and out came a tiny shiny black nose, followed by a silver furry head with huge round black eyes. With the hole in the shell getting bigger, the egg turned over and the tiniest minimini baby seal fell out, honking and wailing with its high little voice.
We couldn't believe what we saw.... ;)
HMM and a lot of fun to you, dear Flickr friends.
52 Weeks: The 2020 Edition
An image I took and edited a number of years ago, but it fits this week's theme so well!
Just a fun picture for anyone who is nuts about Classic Minis. Please note! no Classic Minis were harmed in the taking of this photograph. "Macro Mondays". April Fools.
It looks like the little chick will be hatched in time for Easter.
Don't worry, this procedure caused no danger to the chick - he is well protected by the foil coating.
OK, as you probably have noticed, this was just an April Fool's joke. Here's the real new Windows logo! ;-)
Hope Microsoft will not get in trouble with the makers of Senso / Simon. ;-)

In France, the tradition on the first April is to try to put a picture of a fish at the back of persons.
It was our last day in Innsbruck and the weather was fabulous. Everyone was out walking, sitting at the cafes, or on the river wall enjoying the warmth.
I went to the Marktplatz, the center of town, pulled out my alter ego, and went for it! Me and my banana skins in mid-air. It was fun!
I'll miss this little town :(

These are not genuine Lego minifigs. Some are badly printed (He-Man) or are assembled poorly (Harry Potter has two right feet).
I'm not sure exactly what happened - HIC - One minute I was - HIC - watching him giving orders, and then - HIC - out of the - HIC - blue my captain just disappeared! I looked around and - HIC - I noti - HIC - ced that all of the inhabitants of - HIC - the city were gone as - HIC - well! HIC! I also happened to notice - HIC - some promising looking wine barrels - HIC - by an empty building.
HIC! Naturally, I - HIC - grabbed a goblet from the - HIC - waterfall of gold items that was - HIC - pouring out of my pockets (I'm not sure - HIC - why this was happening, but now isn't the - HIC - time to worry about - HIC that) and poured myself a generous helping of that - HIC - good ol' Kaderan wine. HIC! It's strong stuff that - HIC - wine, le' me tell you. HIC! I poured myself another - HIC - four glasses (or was it - HIC - five?) and that - HIC - pretty much bring you up to - HIC - date. If all goes - HIC - well, my Captain won't be - HIC reappearing for a - HIC - while.

Built for the Fractured Kingdoms April Fools challenge - don't worry, this didn't actually - HIC - happen to my character ;)
This was a really simple, small, and quick build made in about an hour, which kind of explains the lack of really any detail or size. I have to apologize for the low quality photo, my regular set up is currently out of order so I was forced to use an iPhone, which isn't by any means my first choice when it comes to cameras.
Feedback is much appreciated and as always,
Happy Building!
Juvenile Antillean Kingfisher (knotta birdus) ~ Sarasota County, Florida
West coast Florida birders were treated to great looks at this Antillean Kingfisher. They are normally found in the Lesser Antilles and a few other islands. What was most striking to me about the bird was its large head relative to his body which serves an important purpose. The added weight allows the kingfisher to get deeper below the surface where larger prey can be found. The weight also helps the hunting as gravity propels the bird to simply fall into the water at great speeds with minimal wing movement to not scare the fish.
Thanks for visiting!
TGIF Everyone! Prelude to a wonderful weekend for all I hope. We are supposed to have some spring weather in the Seattle,WA area finally. They are predicting highs in the 60's! Shazzzaaaam!
We are all enjoying the gas range I installed during my last project. That involved running a gas line under the house, because we previously had a electric range. Nothing like cooking on fire. :P

And finally...
So this week for Macro Mondays theme 'April Fools' we've been tasked with photographing something goofy, silly, funny or humorously arranged like funny-faced bugs, fruit or veggies, silly little toys, or objects arranged to make a joke or pun.
Ladies & gentlemen, I give you:
Focus PeaKing. 😀
This image was captured for the Macro Mondays theme: April Fools.
The Tom Foolery might best be apparent when viewed large.
Wow.... I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this bird in my yard! Could it really be an actual Blue Eyed Cowbird? Some sort of really rare mutant cross? All the other cowbirds eyes are plain brown, not this glorious turquoise blue! ....... Or, one other possibility, could it really just be MacroMondays: "April Fools"??? You decide! :)
Many people are fooled into thinking this furry little creature is a bee (in flight, it is even more bee-like as it produces a high-pitched buzz), and that it's long sharp proboscis makes it dangerous!
Social media sites often get many posts containing pictures of this insect, often captioned with ‘what is this?’ or ‘what type of bee is this?’, and the Natural History Museum is frequently asked to help people identify these little creatures that fool people so often! www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2014/april/bee-flies-false-wi...
In fact this little creature is a Bee-fly (The Dark-edged Bee-fly - Bombylius major), a bee mimic fly whose proboscis is used for drinking nectar and it is completely harmless to humans!
However, it is parasitic on solitary mining bees and bumblebees, and lays its eggs in the nests of its hosts. It does this by hovering over nests or burrows and dropping or flicking their eggs into the nest. Before they deposit the eggs, they coat them in soil or dust. This adds weight to the eggs and may also be a form of camouflage. Once the larvae hatch, they crawl further into the nest/burrow and feed on mature bee larvae, eventually killing them. Another way in which this little creature is an April fool!

Time for a Spring clean, my lenses were looking a bit grubby so I came up with the idea of putting them in with the dishes for an overnight wash.
