A frog from the Dendrobates genus.
The excellent guides from www.explorama.com found this and others for us, just below Iquitos, on the Napo.
Size? From memory: about 15mm. (Nose to base of spine.)
Handling these little guys carries two risks:
1) You can stress or dry them out, and kill them
2) If you, say, rub near your eye, carelessly after handling one but before washing your hands, it can be really unpleasant. There's even one species which, if handled, will leave your hands numb for a while. With little creatures, it is a great idea to have with you a small clear plastic container. You can pop them into it with minimal disturbance, and then study to your heart's desire. Great for showing things to the members of a group, too.
Map location: You need to use the satellite view to get a good idea of where this is... the "map" variation seems a bit mis-aligned in this region.

At 13 Apr 07, the first comment in this photo's stream is from AzliJamil, "About the crop..."
This is either a slip up by him (hey! we all "do things"), or a bit of Flickr weirdness (if so, the first I've encountered in a year's use)... but it is a reply to something I said about one of his photos. I'm leaving it here for now, just to see what happens....
There have been a few price guides available to the public over the years, Parkers being one of the better know ones.
I think the registration of the Cortina is YHJ759T which would have been an unissued Chemlsford registration.
July 1, 2018 - Laufás Turf House in Eyjafjörður, Iceland.
"Laufás turf farm is a former vicarage, a dwelling house, situated in the densely populated coastal farmland of Eyjafjörður in northern Iceland. The farmstead was modernized in the 20th century with new dwelling houses and stables and is still an inhabited vicarage. The old farm is a part of the National Museum's Historic Buildings Collection and is managed by the Akureyri Museum. The main thoroughfare in the area has long passed near Laufás and still does. Laufás has been one of the better beneficia with many perquisites and is mentioned several times in the medieval Saga literature. The earliest written sources reveal that a church fire took place there in late 12th century .
Laufás counts 12 houses and the whole complex is around 29 m long and 28 m wide. Most of the farmstead is constructed in the period from 1840-1877, but the origin of the farm is older. Five gables face the yard to the west, forming a gabled farmhouse. To the north is the living room, then entrance, hall (skáli), eider down house (dúnhús) and storage. The entrance gives access to a passageway that connect the other houses; bridal house (brúðarhús), hearth kitchen, pantry and small living room, with a two storey baðstofa at the other end. Both the upper and lower floors of the baðstofa house are divided into three rooms. To the south of the farmstead is Laufás church within a cemetery. The outhouses are no longer standing.
The lower part of the turf walls are made from stone and strengur, but the upper part from turf, klömbruhnaus, kvíahnaus, strengur and snidda, with all the rooftops covered in turf. The gables are from timber. The living rooms, entrance, bridal house and the entire baðstofa house have panelled interior walls and wooden floors. The rest of the houses have visible turf walls and earth floor. Remnants of a stave construction are present in the passageway, which testifies to the farm's old origins. Part of the farm was built from reused timbers.
Laufás represents a large turf house, built in the northern tradition, where a mixed building technique has been employed." Previous text from UNESCO World Heritage Site:

My latest eBay purchase wasn't meant to have a guide picture but the vendor included a photo of the completed puzzle. I've hidden it until the puzzle has been assembled.
Just outside the old Arab Fort in Stonetown, there was a Girl Guide sign on the wall above a door. Strange place for it to be.

My field guides get so much wear that I have moved one (Peterson's Field Guild to Wildflowers) into a 3-ring binder to keep the pages from floating away.

The lady pointing is the tour guide who seemed slightly bemused to find we were a bunch of long haired musicians, but took it all in her stride. Obviously we won her over in the end...

This looks to be a day trip for a group of special needs ladies organised by the Girl guide leaders. It looks like a grand day was had by all!

Twillingate island has some of the most spectacular scenery in Newfoundland. Here's a shot from Back Harbor on a cold January afternoon.
An inSPIREing tour.
Oxford is known as the City of Dreaming Spires, and one such spire, part of the Nuffield College, is seen being passed by an open top Dennis Trident of Tappins of Didcot. Tappins ran both Guide Friday and City Sightseeing branded open top tours around the city in 2014, and 906, a former East London ALX400 carried the green livery used on the former.

Let’s talk about weight benches, also sometimes called workout benches.
Having a stable, comfortable weight bench is an essential for a variety of exercises including the mighty bench press.
And while it’s true that the bench press has fallen out of favor in recent years because it’s not a “functional exercise”, it’s still a huge mass and strength builder without equal.
Take that, CrossFit.
(Actually, recently the bench press made a rare appearance in a CrossFit WOD – so maybe they’ve come to their senses.)
Let’s look at what makes the best weight bench – whether for your home gym, garage gym, or commercial facility.
In doing so, we’ll present some of the best workout benches (both flat benches, incline benches, and adjustable benches) available from Rogue Fitness and Rep Fitness.
We’ll also look at the ultimate weight bench option – the FID bench (Flat, Incline, or Decline.)
Here’s an example of a FID bench, the REP AB-5000 Zero Gap Adjustable Bench.
The REP AB-5000 ZERO GAP Adjustable Bench is the best adjustable bench, period. Commercial grade paint, steel, vinyl, and padding is combined with rock solid stability. This adjustable bench incorporates a unique patent-pending adjustment mechanism for zero pad gap in all positions. The seat is able to slide along the frame and completely eliminate the traditional annoying seat gap found on virtually all competing products. A great FID bench
What To Look For In a Good Weight Bench
First of all, a few things.
A weight bench has to be the right height – not too high and not too low.
The defacto standard is somewhere around 17″ and 18″ in height.
Secondly benches can come in a variety of widths. 10″ to 12″ width benches are most popular.
In general, you really don’t want a bench wider than 12″. Why? Because it’s not a bed. You’ve got to be able to move your limbs with a degree of freedom that a too wide bench can’t provide.
But, there options up to 14″ in width, if you think you need that.
A weight bench needs to be strong. Besides your body weight it needs to safely support the amount of weight you are lifting too – and it’s pretty easy to load up a heavy bench press with only a moderate amount of training.
2″ x 3″ or 3″ x 3″ 11 gauge steel is commonly used to make workout benches, but other options exist too.
What’s most important is that the bench is rated in excess of the amount of weight you are likely to use (along with your bodyweight.)
When benching big weight, you need to have your feet on the floor with the proper foot positioning (despite what you may see in your local gym benching with your feet up on the bench isn’t really correct.)
Three post (or tripod) bench designs are common – because they ensure you can put your feet where it suits you best – with no support legs in the way.
The pad supporting the bench should be firm and dense, and not too luxurious.
Again, this is a workout bench, not a bed.
But it should give you a comfortable place to check your texts between sets.
That was a joke.
But you know you do it.
Do you need a flat bench or an incline bench?
Or do you need both (an adjustable bench)?
A flat bench is versatile for many lifts, including not just the mighty bench press but also makes a convenient rest for doing dumbbell rows, bulgarian split squats, and of course many seated press variations (with your back unsupported.)
Dumbbell rows on a flat bench - a staple of muscle and strength building workouts for the ages
The french press or tricep extension is an excellent exercise to do on a flat bench.
Tricep extension on a flat weight bench - a great exercise for triceps and strength
But for an improvement in versatility and variety you might want an incline bench. These benches usually serve as a flat bench when needed but are adjustable to various degrees of inclination.
Look for a range of motion from flat to 90 degrees.
These incline benches allow you do to bench press variations such as the incline press, but also various chest supported rows, dumbbell flyes, and much more.
An incline bench that can adjust to 80 or 90 degrees can also be used for a wide variety of back supported seated presses.
A good adjustable bench can be used for seated and back supported exercises such as the dumbbell press
And lastly, the decline bench is a thing too.
These have really fallen out of favor (for pressing) in recent years, but they provide some interesting variations on exercises.
They are certainly useful for various decline abdominal exercises.
A variety of abdominal and core focused workouts can be done with a decline bench - harness the power of gravity!
And, we should mention some of these benches can do it all – flat, incline, or decline.
So, really the ultimate bench is what is known as an FID bench – Flat, Incline, or Decline Bench – at your choice.
