Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.
Carole King is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years.
Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Eastern Phoebe carrying a beak load of soft moss to line its nest and make it a more comfortable place to raise its brood.
Long Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus) I've been watching a pair of long tailed tits building a nest. They have finished the moss and leaves stage and now they're on to the luxury finishing touches.
In the middle of Trier there is a local recreation area with three ponds. This area is attractive at any time of the year, but autumn gives it special splendor.
The 'Finish' of a bottle refers to the number and configuration of the threads that accept the bottle cap at the top of a bottle's neck.
In this photo, the top of my water bottle was illuminated between crossed polarizers, and the stresses in the plastic that makes up the bottle reveal themselves in the different colors.
The diameter of the top of this bottle is an inch, and the area shown in the photo is a 2-inch square, including negative space.
The droplet of water between the threads on the right side of the bottle has a diameter of about 2mm. The tiny droplet on top of the bottle at left has a diameter of about 0.5mm.
HMM!

This one was actually taken in my holodeck on an old sci fi lab scene I built back around 2008/09...
Landmark S4M 10009 pulls forward to load its last hopper with corn at the Sunrise Co-Op facility in South Charleston, OH. Once done, they'll shove the loaded cut of cars towards their yard, and will repeat the process again with another cut of 8 or so empty hoppers.

An enjoyable afternoon at the races, but no luck with any winners!

The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.

Lee and I were about ready to end our Sunday morning walk around the Ravines Park when we spotted this Eagle fly from the nest and land in a tree by the river. As soon as we got in position he started inhaling this strand of whatever. It was quite in the harsh sunlight and I didn't have time to check my settings.
Looks like he is eating the remains of some sort of animal. Hope it was good.
