thank you Hannah x

 

Just as a shadow, beyond black and white,

Can hide sometimes only an ephemeral light,

Likewise beyond a charming glance

Is nothing but an absurd chance...

Masked Lapwing

Scientific Name: Vanellus miles

Description: Masked Lapwings are large, ground-dwelling birds that are closely related to the waders. The Masked Lapwing is mainly white below, with brown wings and back and a black crown. Birds have large yellow wattles covering the face, and are equipped with a thorny spur that projects from the wrist on each wing. The spur is yellow with a black tip. The Masked Lapwing has two subspecies resident in Australia. The southern subspecies has black on the hind neck and sides of breast, and has smaller facial wattles. Northern birds are smaller, without the partial black collar, but have a much larger wattle, which covers most of the side of the face. The sexes are similar in both subspecies, although the male tends to have a larger spur. Young Masked Lapwings are similar to the adult birds, but may have a darker back. The wing spur and facial wattles are either absent or smaller in size. The southern subspecies is also known as the Spur-winged Plover.

Similar species: The Banded Lapwing, V. tricolor, is much smaller (25 cm to 29 cm). It has a mostly black head and upper breast, with a distinct white eyestripe and bib. It also has a distinctive red patch at the base of the bill.

Distribution: The Masked Lapwing is common throughout northern, central and eastern Australia. Masked Lapwings are also found in Indonesia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and New Zealand. The New Zealand and New Caledonian populations have been formed from birds that have flown there from Australia.

Habitat: The Masked Lapwing inhabits marshes, mudflats, beaches and grasslands. It is often seen in urban areas. Where this bird is used to human presence, it may tolerate close proximity; otherwise it is very wary of people, and seldom allows close approach.

Feeding: Masked Lapwings feed on insects and their larvae, and earthworms. Most food is obtained from just below the surface of the ground, but some may also be taken above the surface. Birds are normally seen feeding alone, in pairs or in small groups.

Breeding: Masked Lapwings may breed when conditions are suitable. Both sexes share the building of the nest, which is a simple scrape in the ground away from ground cover. This nest is often placed in inappropriate locations, such as school playing fields or the roofs of buildings. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young birds. The young birds are born with a full covering of down and are able to leave the nest and feed themselves a few hours after hatching.

 

The Masked Lapwing is notorious for its defence of its nesting site. This is particularly the case after the chicks have hatched. Adults will dive on intruders, or act as though they have a broken wing in an attempt to lure the intruder away from the nest.

Minimum Size: 33cm

Maximum Size: 38cm

Average size: 36cm

Breeding season: At any time of the year

Clutch Size: 3 to 5

>>But you can still leave photo notes on the photo itself! I return those too!

After work a couple weeks ago, I stopped by the art festival in Hammonton, New Jersey to visit and pay my cousin some support ! *So happy for her*. I went to visit her at her booth, which was awesome BTW! (She is such a talented artist!) I have always been her # 1 fan.. and her mine! :)

Well, we parked our car over by the antique shop.. So on our way out we decided to swing by the antique shop (which we do a couple times a month or more.. to check out what they have!) And I had my camera with me, (because I took some photos of Lori at her art stand).. So I decided to take some photos.. (not even thinking about the challenge). I was really intrigued by this doll. AT FIRST, I thought she was creepy.. But after photographing her an looking at this photo.. I've begun to love her. She is very old and slightly damanged.. and I think that's what really creeped me out about her. However, I think she's beautiful.. and I hope she finds a great home! And for the price she was..I KNOW that whoever buys her will take VERY good care of her! So that makes me happy.. Because she seems so lonely to me. If I was okay with spending the amount that was on her price tag on a doll, I might have considered it.. But she's just gorgeous. And I love her. I'm so glad I took this photo..

___

I hope that everyone out there is doing well. I've been really REALLY enjoying church every week. We've begun our OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD & I also have got a couple of my co-workers involved too (which is awesome)! If you're unaware of what *Operation Christmas Child* is.. I'll briefly explain: Each year we get a shoebox and a list of OK items. We pick an age group and fill the box for them.. (toys and essentials). Juan and I always choose the older children (11-14yrs I believe) - he does a boy and I do a girl. We choose that particular age because apparently most people want to do YOUNG children so they have the least amount of gifts for the older kids.. So we make sure to cater to them each year. Anyway, you can fill the box with essentials (soap, tools, sewing kits, fishing kits, hair brushes, notebooks, pencils and sharpeners etc.. & something special *like one main item*. You can also include a note / photo of yourself. - When the child receives this shoebox filled with goodies, they also get a lesson on Jesus Christ.. and a booklet to teach them about him. They are told about how people from far away care about them so much and want to bring them closer to God and help them. **

--

>> So also, we were told that many of the boxes go to teh whole family.. So the child brings them home and maybe the mom gets the sewing kit, the dad some tools, etc.. So we make sure to think about that when filling the boxes. Doing this each year REALLY means A LOT to us!

>>Also, the past couple weeks at church they showed us some videos.. Some of the videos are of the children telling their story of when they received the box.. and the lesson about Jesus.. and how it changed their lives, etc. And how NOW they believe in God.. & they're so grateful for that box. etc.

So, a couple weeks ago they showed us a video of HOW SOME OF THE BOXES GET TO THESE CHILDREN..

>>>It BLEW OUR MINDS!! I still cannot get over what I saw!

 

-First it shows them loading up the boxes into planes, boats, etc. Then it shows them getting to the larger cities in jungles, etc around the world.. Then it shows dedicated indivudals who risk their health/sometimes lives even (to venture into the jungles/mountains/even walk across streams on slippery logs) carrying several boxes, or bags of boxes with them... a group of people.. carrying these boxes to little villages in the middle of no where. Then it shows them sitting around while the children learn about God.. and giving the kids the boxes. I cried.

 

.. It is such a great feeling. I am so grateful to be able to be a part of this mission each year.

If anyone is interested in it, you could message me and I can send you a link TO the project.. *It's a big charity organization thing*. And it's my favorite .. it's so beautiful and it makes me feel so good.

I just found out that they actually recommend collecting stuff for the boxes ALL year each year.. I guess when you see a sale, etc. So we're going to do that now for next year.. We actually just found a sale on cray ons, markers, notebooks, and colored pencils at Walmart the other day (25 cent and 15 cents - YES you read right!) So we bought EXTRA - for this year and next year. Pretty awesome.

Juan found the coolest little hammer for his box, for the boy... It's a smaller metal hammer with approx 5 screwdrivers and stuff INSIDE the handle.. (it's so cool how it works) i was blown away and I'm so glad he found it! He also got the boy stuff for fishing, sewing, a tape measure, among many other things..

______________

I just thought I'd let you all know what's going on and how I've been.. We're DOING VERY WELL! - Praying for you ALL- ALWAYS! Have a fantastic week!

Taskmaster, focused on the task of breaking into the case where the weapon was, failed to notice the body of Deadpool crawling to it's head. As the body reached the head it leaped to it's feet and placed the head on it's shoulders.

 

"That is one heck of a headache!"

 

Taskmaster turns his attention to Deadpool. His eyes widen underneath his mask.

 

"How?"

 

"One thing you'll never be able to mimic of mine. Regeneration. Thirteen out of fourteen Doctors approve."

 

Taskmaster unsheathes his sword.

 

"I won't need it."

 

"Well we'll see about that."

 

Deadpool runs towards Taskmaster. As he gets close to him he jumps over him doing a front flip in the process. Deadpool punches the glass of the case and rips out the sword from it's pedestal.

 

"What does this weapon even do? Any volunteers?"

 

Deadpool points the tip of the sword towards Taskmaster and smiles underneath his mask.

 

"You sir! You are the next contestant on the Chopping Block! "

 

Deadpool raises the sword high above his head.

 

"I have the power!

 

As Deadpool begins to swing the sword towards him, Taskmaster pulls out a smoke pellet from his belt and throws it at the ground. The smoke distracts Deadpool long enough for Taskmaster to make an escape from the vault.

 

"Skeletor!"

John and Chas wait till later in the night to go grave-digging. The two find the grave of the Headless Horseman and abruptly begin digging. Luckily for them, the grave was not a full six feet deep, so they got to it sooner then they thought. Chas jumps down into the hole and opens the grave. John sighs as he sees the thing he was worried about.

 

"Bollocks! His head is missing."

 

Chas climbs out of the grave and sits on the ground next to it. Seconds of angered silence pass until John breaks it.

 

"No! Johny Boy! I'm not giving up! This trip isn't going to end with bugger all to show for it."

 

"John give up, the guy has been dead for almost two centuries and no one has found his head."

 

"I'm not giving up, Chas. I can't. I'm not going to let someone die because of a reason I could have prevented."

 

A loud laughter is heard from close by.

 

"Hello?"

 

Another burst of laughter is heard, this time John hears the direction it came from.

 

"Chas, shine your torch over there."

 

Chas shines his flashlight towards the direction John pointed and it shines on a shed down a stone trail. John looks at Chas and shrugs his shoulders.

 

"Couldn't hurt investigating."

 

"Yeah, but if you die by some psychotic murderer inside that shed, don't come haunting me."

 

"That's why you're coming with me as my muscle."

 

"Screw you, John..."

Mildly customized at one time (nosed and decked and the "Coupe DeVille" script usually under the gold crown emblem on the fenders was removed). When I shot this it was clear the car's glory days were behind it, as lots of patina was present but still its nobility was evident.

Splendid Fairy-wren

Scientific Name: Malurus splendens

Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.

Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.

Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.

Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.

Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.

Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.

Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.

Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.

Minimum Size: 12cm

Maximum Size: 14cm

Average size: 13cm

Average weight: 9g

Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April

Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3

Incubation: 15 days

Nestling Period: 11 days

Puente en la Ria de Aveiro

There are loads of more photos in the first comment, please do look at them too. They are a part of this posting.

 

I am not among those who walk the most in the mountains, my wife do a lot more mountains during summer than me.

 

But when I am in the mountains, when the weather is like this, and the views as amazing as this, then I feel a deep joy in my heart. A joy that is hard to explain, but it is partly a love for this country I am proud to call mine.

 

We are still in the mountains behind the Hoven skylift (look at my previous posting if you haven't alreaddy done so). The skylift might well be a crowded tourist trap on a day like this, but walk up the hills behind and leave the main paths and you get the genuin feeling of being in the mountain, there are only a few people there with you.

 

A video, and band, I found by chance is "I'll follow you" by the rock band Shinedown. I don't know much about them, but really liked this song. And many more they have, among them a good cover of "Simple Man"

 

But, back to "I'll follow you". It is something as little masculine as a pure love song, and the video have some really nice scenes from what must be Iceland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IF5TfnmV0k

صورتين من الجلسة اللي راحت , يزيد يستظرف :p و عجبوني و قلت بنزلهم :$

Laughing Kookaburra

Scientific Name: Dacelo novaeguineae

The laughing kookaburra was first described and illustrated (in black and white) by the French naturalist and explorer Pierre Sonnerat in his Voyage "la nouvelle Guinae" which was published in 1776. He claimed to have seen the bird in New Guinea. In fact Sonnerat never visited New Guinea and the laughing kookaburra does not occur there. He probably obtained a preserved specimen from one of the naturalists who accompanied Captain James Cook to the east coast of Australia. Edme-Louis Daubenton and François-Nicolas Martinet included a coloured plate of the laughing kookaburra based on Sonnerat's specimen in their Planches enluminées d'histoire naturelle. The plate has the legend in French "Martin-pecheur, de la Nouvelle Guinée" (Kingfisher from New Guinea). In 1783 the French naturalist Johann Hermann provided a formal description of the species based the coloured plate by Daubenton and Martinet. He gave it the scientific name Alcedo nouvelle Guinae. The current genus Dacelo was introduced in 1815 by the English zoologist William Elford Leach, and is an anagram of Alcedo, the Latin word for a kingfisher. The specific name novaeguineae combines the Latin novus for new with Guinea, based on the erroneous belief that the specimen had originated from New Guinea. For many years it was believed that the earliest description was by the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert and his scientific name Dacelo gigas was used in the scientific literature but in 1926 the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews showed that a description by Hermann had been published earlier in the same year, 1783, and thus had precedence. In the 19th century this species was commonly called the "laughing jackass", a name first recorded (as Laughing Jack-Ass) in An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales by David Collins which was published in 1798. In 1858 the ornithologist John Gould used "great brown kingfisher", a name that had been coined by John Latham in 1782. Another popular name was "laughing kingfisher". The name in several Australian indigenous languages were listed by European authors including Go-gan-ne-gine by Collins in 1878, Cuck'anda by René Lesson in 1828 and Gogera or Gogobera by George Bennett in 1834. In the early years of the 20th century "kookaburra" was included as an alternative name in ornithological publications but it was not until 1926 in the second edition of the Official Checklist of Birds of Australia that the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union officially adopted the name "laughing kookaburra". The name comes from Wiradhuri, an Aboriginal language now effectively extinct.

Description: The Laughing Kookaburra is instantly recognisable in both plumage and voice. It is generally off-white below, faintly barred with dark brown, and brown on the back and wings. The tail is more rufous, broadly barred with black. There is a conspicuous dark brown eye-stripe through the face. It is one of the larger members of the kingfisher family.

Similar species: Identification may only be confused where the Laughing Kookaburra's range overlaps that of the Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, in eastern Queensland. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is coarser than that of the Laughing Kookaburra, and ends somewhat abruptly. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lacks the brown eye-stripe, has a blue tail and a large amount of blue in the wing, and has a pale eye.

Distribution: Laughing Kookaburras are found throughout eastern Australia. They have been introduced to Tasmania, the extreme south-west of Western Australia, and New Zealand. Replaced by the Blue-winged Kookaburra in central northern and north-western Australia, with some overlap in Queensland, although this species is more coastal.

Habitat: The Laughing Kookaburra inhabits most areas where there are suitable trees.

Feeding: Laughing Kookaburras feed mostly on insects, worms and crustaceans, although small snakes, mammals, frogs and birds may also be eaten. Prey is seized by pouncing from a suitable perch. Small prey is eaten whole, but larger prey is killed by bashing it against the ground or tree branch.

Breeding: Laughing Kookaburras are believed to pair for life. The nest is a bare chamber in a naturally occurring tree hollow or in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound. Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young. Other Laughing Kookaburras, usually offspring of the previous one to two years, act as 'helpers' during the breeding season. Every bird in the group shares all parenting duties.

Calls: The chuckling voice that gives this species its name is a common and familiar sound throughout the bird's range. The loud 'koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa' is often sung in a chorus with other individuals. The Laughing Kookaburra also has a shorter 'koooa The Laughing Kookaburra is not really laughing when it makes its familiar call. The cackle of the Laughing Kookaburra is actually a territorial call to warn other birds to stay away.

Minimum Size: 40cm

Maximum Size: 45cm

Average size: 42cm

Average weight: 340g

Breeding season: August to January

كيف لي أن أختلق حيآة لآ يوجد بهآ من ينطُق بإسمك ويُثير آلآف آلحكآيآ بدآخلي ؟

كيف وأنت لم ترضخ للقليل الكثير بـِ دآخلي لتزرع حُب أمك وأخوتك وحتى رفآقك

بِ قلبٍ أبى آن يتنازل عنك ()؟

كثرة حديثنآ سوياً ، كلمآتي التي بأئت مُماثلة لك تماماً كيف لي أن أُبدلهآ ؟

نوع سيارتك التي يُخطف قلبي عند الخروج بها يوماً تلو آلآخر ، كاظم الساهر

ومحمد عبده و أغآنيك المُفضلة تستنزف دموعي و تسلسل عبرآتي عند سمآعهم سهواً ،

عتبة منزلك التي كادت أن تكل مللاً من وجودي بالسابعة صباحاً والواحدة ظُهراً ()؟

بربّك ما الجريمة التي أرتكبت كيّ أُعاقب ببعدك ؟ والألم الذي طالما أهديتني بعد رحيلك ،

والوجع الذي كافح جداً ليتشبث فتاة متضرعة مكسورة ،

فَ لستُ أدري أُهناك متسعٌ للراحة قُربك أم أن الأمل يندثر بعد كُل نداء فاشل ؟

 

* من لدية نعمة النسيآن فليحمد الله مئات المرات ، فَ والله لمّ يجشع قلبي دماءاً سوى ، التعب و الحنين و الذكريات ()..
