Okay, maybe that's not the real names of these two but I couldn't miss out on making a small hands joke.
Donald Duck
Ma proposition pour le prochain Macro Mondays sur le thlème "bird'
Cette figurine de Donald en plastique m'a été offerte quand j'avais... quatre ou cinq ans ! C'est à dire en 1959 ou 1960.
C'est l'un des rares objets de ma petite enfance qui orne encore ma vitrine à souvenir.
La tête mesure 24mm du dessous du bec jusqu'en haut du bonnet.
Donald est apparu en 1934, son nom complet est Donald Fauntleroy Duck

This plastic Donald Duck figurine was given to me when I was... four or five years old!
That is to say in 1959 or 1960. It is one of the rare objects from my early childhood which still adorns my souvenir window.
The head measures 24mm from below the beak to the top of the cap.
Donald appeared in 1934, his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck

Portland and Western's Rock Train rolls north on the former OE near Donald, Oregon behind the usual suspects: an ex-ATSF GP39-2 and an ex-SP SD9E, which religiously trails on the Rock Train.

Now Phill has retired so, sadly, have his 'assistants'. Phill had an array of puppets which he would use to entertain the younger children when taking their photographs. Donald was the most popular as Philli's a dab hand at doing Donald Duck's voice. The children loved it. Donald hasn't taken to retirement as well as Phill has as you can see here. All the puppets were thrown in the corner where Milu sleeps: Milu uses them as extra pillows
We have been put into tiers over here which dictates what we can and cannot do. We are in Tier 2, which gives us certain 'freedoms' but unfortunately my family are in Tier 3 which is the most restricting. We were hoping to meet up after lockdown finishes on 2 December, but now that will not be possible. Hey Ho!
Happy Furry Friday everyone.
Wishing you all a safe and healthy weekend
Great way to start off the morning: meeting Donald Duck at the Hotel Santa Fe at 7:30am.

Donald the Muscovy duck has developed quite a bond with me. He responds to his name and will come to me when called. He goes through quite a ritual of bobbing his head up and down, hissing and making a grinding teeth like sound and unlike the other ducks doesn't mind being touched. I'm starting to think this is some sort of mating ritual...perhaps he sees me as an overgrown duck.
The scene here on a daily basis now...some distortion from having snapped this one from the window.
Fresh food & water at least once a day.
I found Donald and his duck at a goodwill store sitting on a shelf. I loved his sou'wester and mac, a style much more fitting to Cornwall than New Mexico.
He was just a couple of dollars and at last I've found an occupant for the little chair we recycled a couple of years ago.
I don't think I would've called him Donald but that's his name on the label.
Donald for fun thought a moment a selfporttrait from yesterday, coffee, and artgraf on Fabriano paper and the shadows of the tree makes it 3d, Thanks for the visit cheer up......

Donald MacAlpin, or rather Domnall mac AilpÃn in the Gaelic of the time (Modern Gaelic: Dòmhnall mac Ailpein), was a king of the Picts who reigned between 13th February 858 and 13th April 862. The brother of Kenneth MacAlpin, who according to the national myth was the first King of Scotland, he is known in most modern regal lists as Donald I.
The Chronicle of Melrose says of Donald, "…in war he was a vigorous soldier...." and while little is known about his military activity it is probable that he would have had to use some force to consolidate the MacAlpin’s dynasty as kings of the Pics. He is best known for overseeing the introduction of laws known as the laws of Aedh (or Aed). These included the law of tanistry, under which the successor of the king was elected during his lifetime from members of his family. This meant that brothers or cousins of the king could be next in line for succession rather than sons.
The events surrounding Donald’s death are uncertain. According to the Chronicle of Melrose he was murdered, but there are no other sources that support this. The location of his death is also unknown, either being at the palace of Cinnbelachoir, which is thought to have been near Scone, or at Rathinveralmond, the location of which is again unknown, but could in fact be the same place. He was buried on Iona.
Although Donald is generally supposed to have been childless, it has been suggested that Giric, who was king between 878 and 889, was his son. He was succeeded by Constantine, his nephew and son of Kenneth MacAlpine.
"Aw, phooey!"

This P43 Explosives Van is located in the Donald Lions Heritage Train Park. Vans such as this were constructed 1953-1959 at the Newport Workshops and were typically used to transport goods to and from the ICI plant at Ardeer. When loaded with explosives, departmental regulations required "safety" wagons coupled between the loaded P vans. These vans were also seen on the Stawell line delivering explosives to the mines and on the Mildura line carrying detonators. They were painted a much brighter shade of red than the usual VR freight red.
He speaks of dark futures. Gloom and doom. He message is Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. He is full of it.
