for a hopefully peaceful Monday!
At sunrise on a cliff overlooking Lake Ontario, a newly-landed Nashville Warbler examines the rolled up leaves for insects.
This was one of about twenty species of Warbler that had arrived that morning, dozens of birds all pushing each other out of perceived ‘hot spots’ for bugs. The beneficiary of that push was anyone with a camera: in the early light, the birds dropped down out of the canopy in their search for food.
That meant that some of the more difficult birds to photograph, because of their fondness for the upper branches of trees, were accessible. This Nashville showed off its field marks that give it its French name: the grey cheeks were fully on display.
Oddly, at what was the peak of the spring migration in Prince Edward County, there were very few birders and few among them had cameras. The entire Prince Edward County National Wildlife Area, a large swath of shoreline and mixed habitats, was mostly without people.
As I have mentioned earlier, I had a few lifers on this visit, as well as a lot of fun, especially with my friend Paul. The enthusiasm of the spring migration was infectious, and everyone we did meet was friendly and sharing news of sightings.
It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.
A Cape May Warbler pauses foraging for a moment to examine a new leaf growing at the end of a branch. No bugs though, sorry!
Note to self: Post surgery cataract examine (right eye). Hour plus wait for the doctor. Laura cold not wait the the waiting due to c. virus.
An inspection worker makes their daily rounds, examining the diverse cargo imported from the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
Some quick space cargo designs. I didn't come up with that handheld projector thing, but I'm not sure who to credit as I've seen a few people use it.
I hope you like these builds, have a good day

The Launceston Examiner newspaper is still running today, although it has changed ownership in recent years. Founded in 1842 it is one of the oldest running newspapers in Australia. This building doesn't date from 1842 however. The decoration on the brickwork indicates that it belongs to the Art Nouveau period and was opened in 1911. It was designed by local architect Alfred Harold Masters.

The Casa de Colón (Columbus House) is an architectural complex located in the center of the old Vegueta neighborhood in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It is believed that the renowned navigator stayed there while fixing one of his caravels during his first voyage to the New World in 1492. The project incorporates a number of the houses which currently take up the entire block and includes a library, a museum, and a dedicated study center inside.
The Columbus House was established to study, research and disseminate the history of the Canary Islands and their relationship with the Americas. The museum is divided into five thematic areas. The first contains various information panels showing the settlement of the New World, and the cultures and peoples of Pre-Columbian America. The section entitled "Columbus and his Voyages" recreates the explorer's expeditions, while an exhibit in another room examines Columbus’ time in the Canary Islands. The Columbus House also has a collection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

Still playing around with the yellow parts; I built a few things today but this was the only one I really liked. I don't think I've got that critical mass of yellow bricks to go much bigger than stuff this size. Getting closer tho.
If you examine maps of the enormous destruction the Allies in World War II wreaked upon the industrial area of Kawasaki, you will note that a small area to the south of the Tama River toward Tokyo Bay was less devastated. The Heiken-ji Buddhist temple - originally built at the beginning of the twelfth century CE - was largely destroyed but has been rebuilt. A short distance away is this photo's serenity. Here's the pretty Chinese Garden built in 1987. It celebrates the friendship ties between Kawasaki and the Chinese city of Shenyang.
I just found out It won in "Native Fauna" and will be in the traveling exhibit and auction at The 2010 Chicago Wilderness Congress, funds benefiting the "Leave No Child Inside Campaign"

Here is a scientific study about self-assembling nanoparticles within the mRNA Covid vaccines:

“Observable real-time injuries at the cellular level in recipients of the “safe and effective” COVID-19 injectables are documented here for the first time with the presentation of a comprehensive description and analysis of observed phenomena.”

Alien shapes. Yesterday I examined images of both protea and banksia. The long leaf with sharp points is like one I found in the image of banksia. The green petals below it is a protea.

Peanut Envy this little fellow had to examine this peanut carefully before he decided to eat it, shot in North Carolina.
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image captures one of three segments that comprise a 65-light-year wide star-forming region named the Chamaeleon Cloud Complex. The segment in this Hubble composite image, called Chamaeleon Cloud I (Cha I), reveals dusty-dark clouds where stars are forming, dazzling reflection nebulae glowing by the light of bright-blue young stars, and radiant knots called Herbig-Haro objects.
Herbig-Haro objects are bright clumps and arcs of interstellar gas shocked and energized by jets expelled from infant “protostars” in the process of forming. The white-orange cloud at the bottom of the image hosts one of these protostars at its center. Its brilliant white jets of hot gas are ejected in narrow torrents from the protostar’s poles, creating the Herbig-Haro object HH 909A.
