Megachile aurifrons behaviour. I watched this lady for some time. She would enter her nest after a foraging trip, and after a short time would back out and check out a number of adjacent holes by entering and exiting after a short period. Eventually she would fly off (I couldn't see which direction) to forage, return and repeat the procedure. The following sequence occurred after she had visited at least a dozen holes.
Most greens grow upwards. Das meiste Grünzeug wächst nach oben. The record album with the same name is one of my all-time favourites though ;–)
My brother's cat Apollo continuing to be the star of Christmas as his new catnip impregnated toys drove him to behaviour rooted in total ecstasy. None of us had ever seen a cat under the influence of catnip and the results were a revelation. Our early family Christmas was occasioned by Dave's family's impending departure to Finland in the small hours of Boxing Day. Apollo is blissfully unaware of his own impending departure to the cattery...
Change in dog behaviour: When your dog reaches the age of two, you will see fewer behaviours that were common when he was younger.
He's less likely to get involved in things he shouldn't and less likely to be rambunctious. You will also notice that he is more attentive when training.
Have fun with your puppy at the age of two. Around five months, most puppies go through a difficult stage.
Depending on the breed, dogs may not grow out of their adolescent phase for another 2-3 years.
Many experts think the most challenging period is between 8 and 18 months. This is the only time they mature, and most adults don't do childish things like intentionally disobeying a command they already understand, like "sit."
It is not a fixed date when they suddenly "change." They change as they reach full maturity.
They had reached sexual maturity at six months, and we had them in our early teens, but neither of us was emotionally mature.
What To Expect As Your Dog Approaches Two Years of Age
Growth And Development
Your dog should be eating adult dog food by now. Please select a high-quality dog food that will supply appropriate nutrients while not overloading him with calories. The amount of food required by your dog is determined by its size, activity level, and breed.
Assess your puppy's diet kind and amount with your veterinarian or a dog nutritionist. As for activity level, remember that your puppy benefits from daily exercise.

Finally they managed to get it on...I felt like giving them a round of aplause but I wandered off and lit a cigarette!
:@)
Edit: Well a bit of a turn up for the books...due to the comments made by my learned friend Tim Melling, I now believe these to be both males displaying homosexual behaviour...maybe it should be added to the long list of other animals and insects listed here on Wikipedia that do the same.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexu...
I have also learned that the street term for homosexual in Mexico is “Mariposa”, meaning butterfly in Spanish. The stereotyped image of a homosexual is that of an effeminate male who tends to keep up his appearance and leads an active social life composed of many appearances at bars and parties. Homosexuals may be called “Mariposas” because of their associations with butterflies symbolizing femininity, the lepidopteral symbol of “social butterfly”, and butterfly’s habit of “flitting” from flower to flower.
Each to their own, I say! :@)

My morning routine was to wake, load my hand grinder with coffee, grind, and french press (or Ritual shall we say?).
Coffee was a delicious Kenya Kaliluni Peaberry from Ritual Coffee.
Late January in Halifax, 2012.
Ever wondered how the penguins' beaks get so shiny?
There's a team of young ladies who make sure they are spick and span.
At least I hope that's what they are doing !-D
Scott Habeeb makes a some great points here and I turned it into a picture for use in a presentation.
The grand entrance hall to Kings Weston House just to the North of Bristol, and one of the city's finest buildings. Carefully restored by a local architect who now runs the place for meetings and events. This detail of the fire surround, not the original Vanbrughn one but a later Georgian addition really makes me smile. I am sure most of teh wedding guests miss this

Lil, some of her close girl friends and cousins all happened to be sporting designs by BCBG. Some one's clever suggestion about visiting the store resulted in a photo opp that none of us could have imagined possible.
Love it!
We managed to sneak Vince in at the end of the set. Somehow his suggestion of pulling out his VISA card instead of holding the bouquet seems more appropriate for this setting. :P
Such a fascinating bird to observe. They rarely come to the top of the bushes. I find around courting and breeding time they are more likely. One of my favorite birds to watch. Courting behaviour as this little bird is displaying.
Thank you all for the support of my images and all the likes and lovely comments.
Shot with a Dynax 5 (multi segment metering) on Rollei RPX 400 film, EI 800, stand developed in Caffenol-C-L, 80 mins, 24 °C.
The RPX 400 from the very first production was a great film with good pushing behaviour and nice grain. Then the emulsion was changed obviously without any announcement. I couldn't see any difference to the Kentmere 400 now, and I never liked this film. Many people, incuding me, complained about this inaceptable behaviour. After the new package design was launched the emulsion obviously changed again, now showing again all the great features of the first batch. Shadow detail is splendid, even with extremely contrasty subjects. EI 1600 is surely possible. The RPX 400 needs a powerful development to show his best side.
In the centre stands a magnificent thickly snow clad mountain, which represents the great nation of Tibet, widely known as the Land Surrounded by Snow Mountains.
Across the dark blue sky six red bands spread representing the original ancestors of the Tibetan people: the six tribes called Se, Mu, Dong, Tong, Dru and Ra which in turn gave the [twelve] descendants. The combination of six red bands (for the tribes) and six dark blue bands for the sky represents the incessant enactment of the virtuous deeds of protection of the spiritual teachings and secular life by the black and red guardian protector deities with which Tibet has had connection for a very long time.
At the tip of the snow mountain, the sun with its rays brilliantly shining in all directions represents the equal enjoyment of freedom, spiritual and material happiness and prosperity by all beings in the land of Tibet.
On the slopes of the mountain there proudly stand a pair of snow lions blazing with the manes of fearlessness, which represent the country's victorious accomplishment of a unified spiritual and secular life.
The beautiful and radiant three coloured jewel held aloft represents the ever-present reverence respectfully held by the Tibetan people towards the Three Supreme Jewels (the Buddhist objects of refuge: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha).
The two coloured swirling jewel held between the two lions represents the peoples' guarding and cherishing the self discipline of correct ethical behaviour, principally represented by the practices of the ten exalted virtues and the 16 humane modes of conduct.
Lastly, the surrounding border of yellow adorning the perimeter represents the spread and flourishing in all directions and times of the purified gold like teachings of the Buddha.
Mason wasp (Odynerus spinipes) constructing chimney at nest burrow entrance. Dorset, UK.
No-one is quite sure what the purpose of the chimney is since heavy rain renders its protection useless.
Dozens of mason wasps active at this site and being stalked all the while by a very persistent ruby-tailed wasp.
With thanks to Chris.
