This butterfly was in my garage yesterday in Houston, Texas. Sadly, it didn't live very long. I don't know what kind if it. This is the top and the photo below shows the more colorful underside.
Identifications on the versos.
The Kimball sisters were the daughters of George Ezra Kimball (1828-1894) and Frances Ann Herrick (1829-1890). Mary Frances “Minnie” Kimball was born 21 February, 1859, while Martha “Mattie” A. Kimball was born 10 November, 1861, both in Iowa City, Iowa. Minnie and Mattie grew up in Iowa City. In 1860, George Kimball was listed as a physician, but in 1870 his occupation was operating a nursery. In 1870, the family had real estate valued at $24,000 and a personal estate of $1,390. In 1880, Minnie, Mattie, and their sister Carrie were living with the widowed Frances Kimball in Iowa City. Minnie was listed as a school teacher. Minnie was married on 9 July 1884 to Frederick Orlando Newcomb (1858-1930), whom she had met at Iowa State; the couple had at least three children. From 1900 to 1930, Minnie lived with her husband and children in Shell Rock, Iowa, where Frederick was a well-known merchant. Minnie passed away in Shell Rock in 1936. Mattie Kimball never married and passed away on 13 June 1893.
The CDV of Mattie Kimball was by James, Iowa City, Iowa; the CDV of Minnie Kimball was by James and Son, Iowa City, Iowa. John James was born circa 1831 in England and came to America around 1855. His wife, Catherine Milward (1830-1893), was also born in England. Initially John James worked as a carpenter in Iowa City; in 1870, the family had real estate valued at $5,000. The couple had at least four children, one of whom was William Henry James, born 4 September 1857. Sometime in the early 1870‘s (perhaps as early as 1872), John James went into the photography business. By the time of the 1880 census, John and William Henry James were both working as photographers in Iowa City. John James passed away circa 1882. William Henry James continued to work as a photographer in Iowa City through the 1900 census. William was married to Nancy W. Fairall on 2 October 1881. William and Nancy continued to live in Iowa City through the 1920 census, although William had retired. Nancy passed away in 1925. William Henry James passed away in Iowa City on 11 April 1937.
I just bought her. I've seen her in several memes across the internet and wondered from what brand she comes from..Also curious how she looks in a catalog because i think she'll look better leaning on a wall.
HELP PLEASE :)
Update 11/26/2015: I got the plant identification from the Austin Planted Aquarium Keepers Google Group groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/atx-pak
It would be a lot of help if someone helped me to identify this.
It has a rhizome, red stem, and green leaves. I think it starts with "bace", but I can't remember.
Seen on a 1969 OPEL GT 1900.
Seen early in the morning on a dark and rainy day.
The Opel GT was designed by in-house car designers Erhard Schnell and Clare MacKichan, and was technically based on the Kadett B.
The GT body parts were built by Fa. Brissoneaux & Lotz (Fr), but the car was assembled at Opel Werk, Bochum (D).
A major part of the production was exported to the US.
1897 cc,
970 kg.
Production Opel GT 1900: Sept. 1968-Aug. 1973.
Imported in Jan. 1974.

Curiously, unlike many birds 🐦, there are no obvious physiological differences between male and female Ospreys 🐦 … some of the variant characteristics that can be helpful in distinguishing between the genders are the facts that female Ospreys 🐦 are usually larger, up to 20%, and they are likely to have a brown color pattern on their chest that might give the illusion of a necklace…
This Osprey 🐦 is a female one… Do you see the difference? 🤔

I bought this Barbie at a thrift store some time ago; she's the only one of the lot I got that I haven't been able to identify. If you need closeups, let me know and I'll upload them.
EDIT: Thanks to Tam at Planet of the Dolls, the clothes have been ID'd. They were an outfit that was available through the "My Design" Barbie back in 98/99. My mom must've taken them off her doll and never put them back, hence why we didn't know where they came from.
Identifying all those blonde and generic looking Kens from the Late 1970s - Early 1980s is really hard!
I don't vouch for this information but it's the best I can do.
SO MANY FREAKING KENS
OBSERVATORY MUSEUM
Established 1982. (A component of the Albany Museum Complex).
10 Bathurst Street, Grahamstown.
Tel : (046) 622 2312
This building was originally a 19th Century jeweller's shop and family home. Its connection with the identification of the Eureka, South Africa's first authenticated diamond, in 1867, prompted De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited to purchase the building and restore it in 1981-1982, to commemorate the beginnings of the country's diamond industry. It was opened on 2 February 1982 by Mr H F Oppenheimer of De Beers, and was formally presented to the Museum Trustees to become part of the Albany Museum's Cultural History division. The original owner-designer of the Observatory, Henry Carter Galpin, was a watchmaker and jeweller who lived in Grahamstown from 1850 until his death in 1886. His special interests - optics, astronomy and the measuring of time - are impressively reflected in this gracious multi-storeyed building. In the topmost tower is the only Victorian Camera Obscura in the Southern Hemisphere. Through the system of lenses and mirror in the revolving turret in its roof, this ingenious device projects an enchanting full colour live panorama of the town and its activities onto a flat viewing surface in a darkened room. Beneath it, Galpin built a Meridian Room where he could ascertain the precise time of local noon - 14 minutes behind South African standard time. The nearby Telescope Room contains his 8-inch reflector telescope which was initially installed in the rooftop observatory, from which the house got its name. On the Victorian Floor, five rooms of fine furnishings recapture the atmosphere of an upper middle class home of the time. Display panels detail the award-winning restoration project which returned the building to Galpin's original plan. The Diamond Story display tells the story of the identification of South Africa's first authenticate diamond and a full-size replica of the Eureka diamond is its sparkling focal point. In the basement a Victorian kitchen and dining room have been restored and a herb garden adds interest out-of-doors.

Checking my garden this a.m. I was amazed to find this fungi. It is 10 to 12 inches and on a decaying log. Would like to know its name.
Sanhaço (Thraupis sayaca)
Classe: Aves
Ordem: Passeriformes

A text in english:
Thank you very much to Rasmus Boegh and Cuckooroller for the right identification of this bird.
Sayaca Tanager (Thraupis sayaca)
Brazil
The Sayaca Tanager is the southern and eastern replacement of the Blue-grey Tanager (Thraupis episcopus) to which it is very similar. In the few areas where the two might occur together, the Sayaca is told by its blue shoulder while the Blue-grey has a white shoulder. There are many variations of colour on the shoulder. For example, the subspecies of Blue-grey that I knew in Pereira, Colombia, had a blue shoulder patch.
Sayaca Tanager, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil, July 2002 - click for larger image Another difference is that the edging on the wings and tail of the Sayaca Tanager are a turquoise blue, as seen in the second photo, compared to the deeper blue of the Blue-grey Tanager. Nevertheless, these two species are so similar that a case could be made for lumping them together, however their voices are significantly different.
The Sayaca Tanager is one of the most common birds seen in Brazil as it is tolerant of a variety of habitats including cities provided there is fruit available for food.
In south-east Brazil note the similarity with the Azure-shouldered Tanager Thraupis cyanoptera. This has a larger bill, a deep blue shoulder (sometimes difficult to see) and a greenish tinge on the flanks.
There are illustrations in Ridgely & Tudor, Volume 1, Plate 17; Hilty & Brown, Plate 51; and Isler, Plate 15.

Um texto em português:
Entre os sanhaços brasileiros esta é a espécie mais popular, sendo também denominada de sanhaço-cinzento ou sanhaço-do-mamoeiro.
Alimentação: frutos, folhas, brotos, flores de eucaliptos (Eucalyptus spp) e insetos; entre estes os alados de cupins ("aleluias" ou "siriris") capturados em vôo.
Nidificação: o ninho, construído pelo casal, é escondido na vegetação densa, repousando numa forquilha de árvore, entre 1,5 e 9 m de altura. Ele é compacto, feito de pequenas raízes, musgos e pecíolos foliares, com um diâmetro externo de cerca de 11 cm. Os ovos, 3 ou raramente 2, apresentam coloridos variados: branco-amarelado, cinza, esverdeado, com manchas pardas pronunciadas ou não. A incubação é tarefa da fêmea e provavelmente do macho, durando de 12 a 14 dias. O casal alimenta os filhotes, que deixam o ninho após 20 dias de idade.
Hábitat: paisagens abertas com árvores e arbustos, plantações e áreas urbanas.
Tamanho: 18,5 cm

I really like the odd shape of this one and know I've seen something like this before, possibly in my childhood, but don't know what it is. Please help with an ID if you know! Thanks. :)

GTM Research Reserve’s volunteers recently monitored different transects or paths of butterflies in the reserve. Monthly, volunteers survey four transects – open meadow, mangrove swamp, Intracoastal, and forest – counting species and individual butterflies.

Rawlins Road, Fir Island - Snow Geese by the thousands start arriving from the Arctic in early October. Typically 70,000 to 90,000 winter in North Puget Sound until late March or April.
Fraser-Skagit Population Dynamic. "Snow geese that over-winter in northwest Washington comprise a unique population of intercontinental travelers shared by three countries: the United States, Canada and Russia. These snow geese make an arduous, annual flight to Russia’s Chuckchi Sea, to breed on Wrangel Island off the north coast of Siberia. They are called the Fraser-Skagit population, because the same identification collaring/banding studies that disclosed details of their migration timing and itinerary, found that snow geese of this group had a high fidelity to one nesting site on Wrangel Island and to one wintering area, here. They stay apart from the other snow geese aggregations that nest separately on Wrangel and winter in California." wdfw.wa.gov

I question this identification but after a careful examination of the antler tips.and comparing them to other coral species I am left with no other alternative. There are more beautiful coral fungus this year than I have seen since 2011.
After 2 years, the new CTA elevated station between Washington and Madison streets is set to open this summer.
Old yellow is probably an early dirt bike. Later models had large luggage racks. The oil bath air cleaner also makes it an early model. Behind the engine there is a gearbox with a shift lever and maybe a starting lever. I like the big wheels but it needs better foot pegs. The engine appears to be a B&S somewhere in the 3 to 5 hp range.
Any thoughts on this?
You could cover a lot of ground on one of these, but you might be sore for days.
A SECOND LOOK: I think there might be springs in the front fork with several inches of travel. That would help. Can anybody tell us about the transmission? Is it unusual for the kick starter to be on the transmission? I'm guessing 1970ish.
This visitor to the garden today needs identification, can you help? Another shot of the front of the bird is on my photostream. The bird was slightly larger than the starlings that visit the feeders every day.
