I love my liberal city, 150,000+ women, men and children marched yesterday! We had a wall of people 3.6 miles long marching from Judkins park in the International District to the Space Needle. We were the third largest march in the country only L.A. and D.C. were larger. Thank-you one and all for walking.

A closer look at the two PS2's - CCF958 and ENT778. Mulleys depot at Ixworth,Suffolk was indeed a treasure trove in the late'60s!

We enjoyed seeing the Comb-crested Jacana or Lotus birds walking on the Lotus leaves on the South Alligator River, Kakadu National Park.

While on the waters we saw a number of sets of chicks. One male with one chick, another with two and one had three chicks to care for.

Update on the feral hive that was removed from a large plastic barrel. This hive built up quickly after they were transferred. They swarmed about two months later. I did a quick inspection a week after the swarm and saw there was a new queen but no eggs. I wanted to take another look in to make sure she was mated and laying. I pulled one frame from the center of the brood chamber and saw capped brood and eggs, indicating there is a laying queen in the hive. The frame I pulled just happened to be the one I had previously tied the cut out comb into, notice the nails in the top bar. I took a photograph of this same frame when I was transferring it into the Langstroth hive, see photo below. Interesting to see how the bees anchored and tied the comb together and continue to use it for brood production.

Things that make me go MMM ... natures amazing engineering !!!

Weird wave effect - looks like the waves beachcombing, and in 3D.

(a true diehard electronics geek (or a retired engineer) might think this looks like a graphical representation of the response of a feedforward comb filter.

Not me.

I might have once, but I'm much better now :)

Combs were used for multiple purposes. This includes combs being used as status symbols, as decoration for the hair, and as tools.

Oops! - this is what happens if fail to put enough supers on a beehive! The supers were choc-a-bloc and the bees had gone through the feeding hole in the cover board to make this very flat wild comb in the roof space (just 3cm deep - but a kilo of honey)

about an hour from going under the dryer to being combed out.

Gratuitous picture of beard. I have some out-liers there among my beard hairs.

Reflecting on the rainfall from the night before and hoping he'll see more soon.

i tried to spend as much time as possible without taking care of my hair. no shampoo, no brush! i had lots of free time as a result to do MORE selves in the mirror:-)

this is what it looked like the day before i cracked and washed and brushed my beginnings of dreadlocks. it was getting itchy anyway...
