Amazing how the beautiful sunset January 2’nd that we paddled to view it to the west changed appearance as we turned around paddling back to the east to return to the icy shore we got through. It looked much more winter-like with the full clouds in the sky and the west wind of 15 km/hr roughing the water. With the wind on our back and the paddle held up help up vertically the gust will push the canoe forward. This will automatically adjust the canoe to move along perpendicularly with the waves that also move in the same direction as the wind. When paddling with the wind the speed of the canoe can double from 6 km/hr to 12 km/hr. Imaged below the maximum size of the waves approximately 1 foot deep...
A young lady stands at the back of the Jet Express Ferry looking back at the Lake Erie Islands and reflects on her day....shortly after departing South Bass Island on our way back to the main land. The skies over Lake Erie were truly amazing after the sun went down that particular evening.

This is the back entrance of a fish factory in Lambert's Bay, West Coast, South Africa.
I liked the washed-out colour of the wall and the shadow of the stairway!
This was from my first trip to visit Jim Bridges studio in California. Such a wonderful time - I did the blonde, redhead, and even "dark" hair looks. (19809.050t)
Using my iPhone 8 and available light I was unable to rid myself of reflections so I decided to try to make the reflections work for me.
You will have to judge if I succeeded or failed in this regard.
You know, I'm trying to be less materialistic than I used to be. I've never been all that much into "things" but the more years that click by the less inclined I am toward the tangible.
Who knows why this is...
Still, I do love this watch. I bought it used back in 2011 when it was three years old. I've worn it often since then.
Back in the day, I owned an average of six Swiss watches at once. One by one, they found their way to new homes.
When I bought this Sinn 103 I assumed that it would also be a short-timer and that I'd soon flip it off to another owner.
But that didn't happen.
Instead, I got to know it and I gradually fell in love with its elegance and purity as well as its faults and limitations.
Back in October of 2018 its date wheel got stuck.
Horrors.
This lead to a trip home to Sinn in Frankfort. A week or so ago it found its way back to me and I could not be happier to have it on my wrist again.
Is there an irony that it has made the trip home to Germany while I've never even been to Europe?
Maybe, but we'll leave that for another day.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Olive-backed Oriole
Scientific Name: Oriolus sagittatus
Description: The Olive-backed Oriole is part of a worldwide family, of which Australia has two other members (the Yellow Oriole and the Figbird). Males and females have an olive-green head and back, grey wings and tail, and cream underparts, streaked with brown. They both have a bright red eye and reddish beak. Females can be distinguished from males by a paler bill, duller-green back, and an extension of the streaked underparts up to the chin.
Similar species: Olive-backed Orioles have a reddish bill, which easily distinguishes the species from the similar Figbird Sphecotheres viridis, which has a blackish bill. It also lacks the Figbird's bare eye skin and has red rather than dark eyes. The Yellow Oriole O. flavocinctus is generally more yellow overall.
Distribution: The Olive-backed Oriole occurs across coastal regions of northern and eastern Australia from the Kimberley region in Western Australia, right around the east coast to Adelaide in South Australia.
Habitat: The Olive-backed Oriole lives in forests, woodlands and rainforests, as well as well-treed urban areas, particularly parks and golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary in the north of its range, but appears to be a summer migrant to the more southern part of its range. Small groups undertake nomadic movements, following fruiting trees during the autumn and winter.
Feeding: Olive-backed Orioles are less gregarious than Figbirds, with which they are often seen foraging. Although they are sometimes seen in small groups, particularly in autumn and winter, they more often occur alone or in pairs, feeding on insects and fruit in canopy trees.
Breeding: The female Olive-backed Oriole builds a cup-shaped nest which is attached by its rim to a horizontal fork on the outer-edge of the foliage of a tree or tall shrub. Nests are usually around 10 m above the ground, and built of strips of bark and grass, bound with spider web. The male does not build the nest, or incubate the eggs, but he feeds the young after the eggs hatch.
Calls: Repeated, rolling 'ori-ori-oriole'. Olive-backed Orioles are excellent mimics of other birds, and are also 'ventriloquists', meaning they can 'throw' their voices to sound like they are calling from somewhere else.
Minimum Size: 26cm
Maximum Size: 28cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 96g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 17 days

i wanted to get a shell shot with matt before he left but we were just too busy.
missing him.... but it's part of life.
While out walking this morning, for lack of anything else to occupy my mind, I started paying attention to the many signs posted as a result of covid-19. No aesthetic value per se, but truly a historical reference.
These penguins will not take this global warming conflict. This means war!
Another mech design (it's like an addiction) from last month...hope you like it! Pretty simple design, but I still like it.
Okay, I've definitely caught up on posting all older-ish builds. Now onto the new things I've built...

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.

With the Holiday rush over for another year, it's time to get back to basics - where it's quiet, the air is fresh, and the Gray Jays appreciate a treat of fresh cranberries.
I have been lucky to travel a fair amount as part of my - business meaning Terri has been able to come out in different locations.
This trip to Canada was one of those great experiences and we were able to bring out a number of different looks. We switched out the hair so I could have two different looks to compare (also went from indoors to outdoors).
I loved this top and wish I had bought it.
