Dedicated to the WHO

The Who are an English rock band that first formed in 1964, and grew to be considered one of the greatest[1] and most influential[2] bands in the world. They have been described, moreover, as "possibly the greatest live band ever."[3] The primary lineup consisted of Pete Townshend (guitar), Roger Daltrey (vocals), John Entwistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums).

The Who rose to fame in the United Kingdom with a series of top ten hit singles (including the celebrated "My Generation") and top five albums, beginning in 1965 with "I Can't Explain". They first hit the top ten in the USA in 1967 with "I Can See For Miles". The 1969 release of Tommy was the first in a series of top five albums for the group in the USA.

Keith Moon died in 1978, after which the band released two more studio albums, Face Dances and It's Hard, with drummer Kenney Jones, before officially disbanding in 1983. They reformed on several occasions to perform at special events such as Live Aid and for reunion tours such as their 25th anniversary tour and the Quadrophenia revival tours of 1996 and 1997. In 2000, the three surviving original members began to discuss the possibility of recording an album of new material. These plans were delayed following the death of John Entwistle in 2002. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey continue to perform as The Who. In 2006 they released the studio album Endless Wire, which reached the top ten in the USA and UK.

The roof of this collapsed building is made from flattened tin cans, common practice for the period 1860’s.

For the most part brown bears are fairly docile creatures. We fear them because of the potential for injury or death but for coastal brown bears the fear is unnecessary. Understanding bears and bear behavior and adding a good dose of attentiveness is really what is necessary. The bears spend a majority of their time eating berries, grasses, and shellfish. How do they get the shellfish, you ask? They dig it! Cubs do their best but have not yet learned the skill. Adults are very adept at digging razor clams along the tidal flats. The clams form a dimple or hole in the sand that we call a “clam show.” The bears look for these, and perhaps also smell the clams. Keep in mind that razor clams can dig about a foot every 30 seconds, so stealth is needed if they are going to capture their prey. It’s pretty interesting to watch. Can you dig it? #Brownbears

The loon parents mostly fed minnows to the chick, who had no trouble swallowing them even if the minnow was as long as the chick's neck. But crayfish are easier to catch, so the parent tried a few with the chick. The chick managed to get it down, but it was a struggle. The chick's appetite was impressive.

The golden color of the water comes (I assume) from the evening light with the sun low in the sky behind me (which you can see reflected in the eyes).

BNSF "exec" 9558 leads empty oil cans west at Ogden Dunes, Indiana. Arcelor-Mittal's Burns Harbor mill is in the background.

It was overcast and windy today, but when I saw all the Goldfinch activity at these two feeders, I just had to grab my camera.

Granted a few Goldfinches flew off when I returned to the window but most of them stayed. They flew back and forth, coming and going like crazy. I took dozes of photos, anxious to see what the highest count would be.

So, later when looking at the photos the highest total between the two feeders was 10. That was OK, but considering I got 10 on just the thistle sock alone at one time, todays 'high' count didn't impress me. BUT when looking at several of the shots I noticed something different. Finally, on one of them did the mystery bird make itself known - a Brown headed Nuthatch! On the thistle sock, which I've never seen them do before.

For something like 35 years my friend, Cheryl, and I have been sending this 6" oriental tea tin back and forth to each other. We can't recall when we started nor whose idea it was.

Yesterday, Cheryl BROUGHT "the can" to me instead of posting it but that is very unsual. We usually put whatever we can find, whatever will fit inside, into "the can" and mail it off to the other person.

For example: yesterday "the can" contained a small leather bond note book, a pad of paper for making lists and 4 single packages of tea (JOY blend - black, green and ooglong).

We just tape the top closed ... affix the other's address and postage to the outside and then off it goes ... no wrapping ... just as you see it here! Once "the can" is received it is occasionally refilled and comes back by return mail .... but other times it could be years!

One of the most recognizable cans of all time. :)

Cane Colvert (Female Mallard) au plumage isabelle (plus clair que la moyenne), fugueuse ou hybride!?! Chose certaine, il est plus que probable qu'il y ait du canard domestique là-dedans.

De tout temps, les humains se sont nourris des œufs et de la chair du Canard colvert. Il existe aussi depuis longtemps une variété domestique de cet oiseau, lequel est aussi à l’origine de nombreuses autres races de canards domestiques, dont le plumage brillant trahit la descendance. Le Colvert n’est pas seulement utile : ce magnifique oiseau fait aussi la joie de nombreux amateurs de plein air. L’ornithologue amateur connaît peu de spectacles aussi fascinants que celui des Colverts qui, les pattes tendues, cherchent à se poser au printemps sur les premières eaux libres.

I don't usually carry my pocket Canon cameras with me anymore, therefore I had to make do with my phone for this unplanned shot of this kitten that wandered into the small supermarket.

Back in 2010 I carried two devices on my belt pouches - my Canon PowerShot S95 and a Sony Ericsson W995. The phone was very small and took barely passable images, so it made sense to have my proper camera with me all the time. These days I have two thick and heavy smartphones with me and it's a burden if I had to bring along a compact P&S camera as well.

Anyway, I managed to pick up this little one and he didn't even put up a struggle! 😻

Can you imagine . . . looking up at the moon and seeing roads and lights? Some people would like to populate the moon and a couple of the other planets in our solar system. As for me - I would rather not know what is up there on the surface of the various planets. I liked things better when there was a little left to our imaginations. Was the moon really made of cheese? (That's what we were told when I was just a kid.)

This is a silly rendition of what I think the moon would look like if it were populated, and there were freeways running to and fro. I shot this on a very cold winter morning from the window of our cabin. It was much too cold for me to suit up and go out and capture it. These days I leave that up to the younger generations.
