This Downy Woodpecker was hammering away with it's pointed bill, making a hole in this tree. A closer look at the head shows the eye covered by the nictitating membrane. The translucent nictitating membrane helps to moisten the eye as well as offer protection.

This Downy Woodpecker (f) was busy excavating a hole the tree along side a busy walking path and didn't seem to mind the attention from passersby.

"Roving Reporter Rich Border here, STOP TYPING, I'M BROADCASTING! This reporter has just discovered that Cormornant Construction has filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy and will cease construction immediately on what would have been a third bridge over the Tacoma Narrows, to my horror I witnessed many of the employees dive off of the unfinished structure into the cold deep waters below upon receiving the news.
Flybynight construction has stated that it will pick up where their failed competitor left off but only if the state comes up with a large deposit first, nothing from Olympia on that. In the meantime, WISDOT has stated that without the competition of the third bridge they will be raising the toll on the Gig Harbor side and adding a new one for those attempting to leave Tacoma. We now return you to Heidi, already in progress..."
Pierr'Eau au sommet de la Bretagne ! Pour les puristes : si (et seulement si) on monte tout en haut de l'échafaudage... ;-)

The Pateo do Collegio is associated with the foundation of São Paulo. The place chosen for the construction of the complex was strategic because it is high and was served by two important rivers: Anhangabaú and the Tamanduateí.
There, the Jesuits created a college to catechize Indians. The mass in commemoration of the opening of this small school in 1554 was chosen, years later, to mark the foundation of São Paulo.
Two centuries later, the Jesuits were expelled from Brazil and the space of the college became the seat of local government - which worked until 1930. Behind the white wall in front of the courtyard is the parish of São José de Anchieta and a museum.
The museum has collections of sacred art pieces such as crucifixes, oratories and holy water basins, as well as paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. In the space you can still see, through photos, maps and models, the architectural changes for which Paul passed. Also it guards the mantle of the priest Jose de Anchieta (1534-1597), canonized in 2014 by the Pope Francisco.
Already the parish sports a relic for the catholics: the femur of Anchieta. The space is overturned by the Condephaat (state council of defense of the historical patrimony).
t is that time of year again and the spoonbills are starting to nest build. An amazing species and awesome to watch and photograph as they go about their daily routine !!!!
Wishing you a wonderful day and a very blessed one too !!
"The Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra [...] is a Catholic parish in Augsburg. [...] The building is a great example of Gothic architecture in Germany [...]. Its high bell tower with an "onion" dome, which dominates the city to the south, served as a prototype for the construction of numerous baroque towers of Bavaria." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_SS._Ulrich_and_Afra,_Au...
This onion tower was built in 1594. The construction of the church had already begun in 1467 in late gothic style, but was repeatedly interrupted due to religious disputes. It was not until 1607 that the church was finally consecrated. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ulrich_und_Afra_(Augsburg)

PS - to all of my good Flickr friends, please be patient with me as I post all of these gosh-darn birds! I'm still enjoying the new lens…but when spring finally blooms I'll move on to something else:)
Le quotidien d'un chantier, c'est parfois aussi simple que ça...
Pourtant, derrière l'apparente simplicité de ce remplissage se cache la complexité du métier.
Un peu comme la photo, tout compte fait.
