Hope you all enjoy it. Things that are italicized is what they are thinking, bold is extra cheeky comments I added in just for fun. Rest are just narration and people talking. I put a " before lines that are speech lines.
It's a bright and sunny day in Sunrise City. It's the middle of april, and Somerset Academy is back in session. The students arrive, and take a seat for the opening speech. A man wearing a nice suit and tie walks onto the stage to speak.
Tobias Sharpe: "Good morning everyone, and welcome, all, to Somerset Academy! I apologize for the lateness of the semester, but as you well know, you just can't account for aliens invading!" He pauses, waiting for the crowd's laughter to die down before continuing, "Well, I want to thank you all for being here today, and choosing to enrol at this institution. It warms my heart to see so many young people making a decision in life to try and make a positive difference in this world. No matter where you've come from, or what may drive you, know that I am proud to see you here today, and that I eagerly wait to see what you might do with your time here. These years will shape the rest of your life, so make the most of them!"
After the headmaster steps down, an imposing blonde woman, steps up to the podium, saying, "Now some of you may know this already, but Somerset Academy operates slightly differently than other institutions. Here, we teach and train the next generation of legends. When you graduate, you will be joining the ranks of great heroes around the world. And as we've seen, we are far stronger working together than we operate alone. With this in mind, one of the core practices of this Academy is the building of cohesive teamwork. You will all be assigned to a specific training unit and instructor. These individuals will be your brothers and sisters during your time here. While your classes and courses may differ depending on your powers, or the programs you've enrolled in, you will nonetheless be spending the vast majority of your time together. Once assigned, these teams will not be changed, except in extreme circumstances. While you may go your separate ways upon leaving this institution, it is our hope that the bonds you forge here will last you your whole life. You will find both your assigned teams and instructors have been sent to your comms. That is all."
The crowd cheers and starts to flood out of the gymnasium to go to their assigned rooms. As one of the many new students, Chad Sloan is super excited to start his journey to becoming a superhero. He's got his costume on, and he struts through the halls, spiderman 3 style.. Ok ok I'm just kidding.. Only slightly. Anyways, he starts to go his assigned room. Once there he gets to the room he goes near the back and lounges in his chair waiting. Four other people come in, with a fifth coming quite a while after the others, as if he got lost. One of the guys there starts to speak, as he looks around the room at everyone.
Dude: "You all look so cool! Holy crap!!! Uhh my name is uhhm silver lance by the way!! Nice to meet you all. I guess I should probably show you all my abilities then".. With one arm, he fires off a beam of light at a chair. "I can also heal with my other arm.. oh and I can fly. What can you do?" He says to the person wearing a beige outfit.
Beige outfit dude: "I am Mushroom Man!!" He taps something on his wrist, and all the sudden 3 other people appear out of nowhere.
Barely Beige Man: "I'm Barely Beige Man!"
Macadamia Man: "I'm Macadamia Man!!"
Frank: "I'm Frank! he says very excitedly."
The other 3: Nobody cares Frank!!! They all say with a look of disgust on their face.
They all seem to have the exact same outfit on, just with a different shade of beige. They all pull out their pistols, and line up. They shoot, and they fire off blasts that are way larger than the guns themselves. The guy with the pentagon symbols on him, and the crazy armor gets hit, and shrugs it off. They ruin most of the room.
Mushroom Man: "I can also teleport."
Armor dude: "I am Neverdie!!! As you all saw, I can take crazy hits. I'll never die!!!!" He says with a slight smirk.
Chad Sloan tries to stay calm and decides to introduce himself. "Suhh dudes. I'm Faultline. I can basically create and manipulate the earth and do whatever I want with it."
The second to last person that enters seems to have his costume themed around america. He speaks up.
America dude: "I am Lieutenant Liberty! I fight for truth, justice, and the american way. Nice to meet you all! May justice rain from above onto all evil doers."
The last one that has yet to introduce himself looks totally out of it, as if he hears somethings, and everything else is drown out.
Out of it dude: "I'm Wiley! I also work at Muchaco's Burgers."
Faultline: "Nice to meet you all!"
They all wait for a few minutes before someone else enters the room. He looks around for somewhere to sit, but the chairs are mostly broken, so Faultline creates a chair for him to sit on.
Teacher: "Uh thanks.. Hello, I'm Simon Grey, and I'll be your instructor for your stay at Somerset. I see you all have gotten to know each other.. Thats great." He says with no enthusiasm. It looks like he has a bottle with him, probably not with water inside.. He continues on. "I will be giving you your assignments, and all that. Yada yada yada. Check your badges often, as that is where you'll receive most of the info you will need." He clearly looks quite bored as he's talking. "Your first assignment is to go and help scavenge lost heirlooms on the west side of the city that got hit the hardest by the invasion. While you are there helping out, you give any alien tech you may find to the authorities there. I know it's a boring job, but it has to be done."
Liberty: "Justice is never boring!!"
The team goes out and heads towards the monorail. On the way they see a huge crowd surrounding someone. Faultline floats above to see who it is. Silver lance asks around whats the big fuss. "He's Joel Angel, how do you not know who he is?" Joel Angel essentially is a stereotypical pop singer. Got the good looks, and girls all love him.
Fautline: "I love his music, it's the perfect workout music!!!"
Silver Lance suddenly says that he's apart of the Joel Angel hate club online. He breaks through the crowd and points to Joel Angel.
Silver Lance: "We challenge your team to a duel!!!"
Joel Angel: "Who are you?"
Silver Lance: "We are the X-Boiz!!!"
It was in that moment where the whole team face-palmed in shame. Mushroom Man even went to his inter-dimensional pub to get away from this incident.
Joel Angel: Who am I to turn down a challenge? I'll give another great show to everyone! Just state when and where.
Silver Lance: "Oh... I didn't actually think that through.. Uhmm."
Joel Angel: "How about the arena then, at sundown tonight?"
Silver Lance: "Sure. Be prepared to get wrecked."
Oh my, what are we getting ourselves into? Faultline thought to himself, as he and the team left to go to their assignment.
End of the first Chapter.

Gemma and I both have our birthdays within a few days of each other so we decided to go back to Lincoln for another weekend to celebrate it.
Breakfast, the morning after my birthday. However, since I don't drink alcohol, I didn't need a hangover cure, ha ha!

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. A platoon of noisy miners currently at war with other noisy miners. Between the two clans, they have driven all other native birds out of the neighbourhood, except the crested pigeons and butcherbirds.
Noisy Miner.
Scientific Name: Manorina melanocephala
Description: The Noisy Miner is a bold and curious bird. It is identified by its mostly grey body and black crown and cheeks. The bill is yellow, as are the legs and the naked skin behind the eye. The name is well suited as the common calls are uttered repeatedly by the members of the colony. Despite their moderate size, Noisy Miners aggressively attack larger birds such as hawks and kookaburras. These attacks may be so vigorous that most other birds are excluded from an area occupied by Noisy Miners.
Similar species: The similar Yellow-throated Miner, Manorina flavigula, has a grey crown, white rump, and a line of bare yellow skin on the sides of the throat. People often confuse miners with the introduced Common Myna, Acridotheres tristis. The Common Myna is quite different in plumage (mostly dark brown) and, although it has similar facial markings, belongs to the starling family, while the miners are honeyeaters.
Distribution: Noisy Miners range from northern Queensland along the eastern coast to South Australia and Tasmania.
Habitat: Noisy Miners are found in woodlands and open forests. They have also become well adapted to suburban situations and are a common sight in parks and gardens.
Feeding: The Noisy Miner feeds on nectar, fruits and insects. Very occasionally they will eat small reptiles and amphibians. Food is either taken from trees or on the ground. In keeping with its highly social nature, the Noisy Miner usually feeds in large groups.
Breeding: Noisy Miners breed in small to large colonies and several broods may be reared during a single season. The female constructs the nest and incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes will care for and feed the young birds. Additional 'helpers' usually also feed the young. Interestingly, these helpers are almost always male birds.
Calls: A loud 'pwee pwee pwee' and a piping 'pee pee pee' when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 24cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 26cm
Average weight: 59g
Breeding season: July to December

Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed.
I woke this morning and said the Lords Prayer as I do every day. I grumbled and started rolling out of bed with the pain train coming into the station before my feet even hit the floor. I put my snazzy macro shooting outfit on and made my bed. Had my cuppa and got all I needed and headed out (still dark)
As I was walking along my undies started falling down. Yes I had pants on. It was a bit annoying but there was no way I was heading back to change them. I first Photographed a wasp and then a Native Green and Gold Nomia Bee and came across this Tree Hopper. In between subjects at one point I stopped pulling my undies up. I have pants on and they will cover my back side so to speak.
It was at that point I realized this is what my Faith in Jesus Christ is like.
Hear me out. Jokes aside. Though we can have a sense of humor
Jesus took the nails for all of us. Our Father in Heaven raised him from the dead 3 days later. We cant see it but there is an amazing book called the Bible. This was written over a period of 2 thousand years. So its not something that happened in recent times but it did happen and because I chose to believe and know it is true Jesus has my backside in all situations. I know that soon Jesus is returning with the book of life to Judge all of us.
My undies falling down and not being the way they should is unpleasant. But My pants still have me covered.
My life right now is not pleasant.
Jesus has that covered!
I have not seen 1 of my children now for over 2 years. I did nothing to deserve being treated this way. I have experienced so many nasty things the last 3 years especially. But I do my best each day.
I don't chose the Pagan way of Easter. I have no Easter eggs or buns to eat. I chose instead to remember what Jesus did for us. I do this alone. But not alone.
I am broken. More than that. I am not sure I am even proud to call myself a human being at this point.
I know that even though my life is tough there is always someone worse off.
Philippians 4:13
I can do this because Jesus has my back side and my front side and my top side and my underside covered!
Enjoy Easter with your loved ones. Hold them tight.

Was quite surprised to see this perfect half moon of water drops so nicely spaced out and the dainty one on the tips of her nose. She is a little beauty as well. second flowering for this one so she is rather special.

Saturday we went to the Feguson Fawsitt pub in Walkington for dinner. WE both went for the chicken and bacon pie. Wow, what a choice - that may well be the best pie I have ever tasted!
Than on the evening we went out on Prince's Avenue for a few drinks.
Here are the upper falls in BW as suggested in the comments for the previous color version. Same 5 shot pano. In the PSE 11 BW conversion I increased the contrast and blue filter to pop the white of the ice. Also, some vertical distortion correction and a closer vertical crop to emphasize the falls.
