Head and bill shape comparison shot
WWSC are in fact quite a bit bigger but this is not usually easily apparent when in the water
In flight the difference can be striking
Tucked away in east Akron, The Bomb Shelter has been showing their customers how to fit the objects of yesterday into today’s world since 2011. This retro, antique superstore opened with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space and a vision of finding the unique treasures they love and bringing them to the public.
Happy Textural Tuesday ;o)
Dried, curled up and carefully saved! The shapes, colours and patterns are just too good to discard!

An old (70-80's) Chevy Scottsdale truck! Original patina color looks mid 80's - now rusted and parked in the shadows of the winter trees.
Happy Truck Thursday!
After a long and busy night Ramses decided to take a shortcut through the neighbour's garden. This turned out to be a lousy idea as the neighbour's dogs were outdoors and already seemed to be waiting for him. Ramses spent a lot of time in a tree until he was more or less rescued by the postman whose arrival distracted the dogs for a moment and Ramses could escape over the fence. The dogs barked like crazy and Ramses, now in safety, was already cheeky again. :)
