This little lovely is one of four Carolina wrens that have been gifted my yard as their territory by their parents. As usual, the parents raised several broods in the yard this year. Once the last brood was old enough to be independent, the parents moved on.
These little wrens are more friendly than their parents were, they come very close to me when I am in the yard and they allow me to approach them as well. If it ends up that there are two pair, perhaps both pair will nest in the yard. That has happened before. They chose different sides of the house of course, still it was nice to have so many year-round and all of the extra activity during nesting season.
Enjoy your day and happy snapping.
The Austonian held the crown of tallest building in Austin for nine years until The Independent surpassed it by only seven feet in 2019. Located at 200 Congress Ave., the 683-foot tall, 56-story building is a modern architectural icon in this rapidly growing city.
This post modern skyscraper was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects of Houston. At the time of its completion in 2010, the Austrian was both the tallest building in Austin, and the tallest residential skyscraper in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Both distinctions are now held by The Independent, although another downtown Austin tower, Sixth and Guadalupe and still under construction, has already topped out at its final height of 865-feet and is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2023.
Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.
She left her last nigga (Why)
He wasn't no go getter
Never met a bad bitch
That entertain a broke nigga,
You cheated
She walked out yo life
With some new shoes on
It's zero tolerance
She put the rules on ya. ✌

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) juvenile
This one had some confidence to be out on its own but did keep looking over to where Mum and Dad were.

When it comes to independent cinema the State Theatre in North Hobart stands alone in Tasmania. Only the art deco Star in Launceston is comparable. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49077130843/in/album-72...
Like the post office across the street it opened in 1913 as the North Hobart Picture Palace showing silent movies. The Spanish flu of 1918 and competition from theatres closer to the city centre forced it to close in 1920. It reopened in 1935 and has shown films ever since under a number of different guises.
Since 2019 it has been owned by the Reading Cinemas chain. The key to its success today is that it operates 11 screens in small rooms, allowing for a wide range of movies to be shown at once. The State also operates a bookshop with an extensive range of books about the movies.
This tiny duckling was the only offspring remaining to the pair of Pink-eared Ducks. Despite its youth, it displayed remarkable independence, swimming energetically several meters ahead of its parents, who struggled to keep up.

My high school best friend and I used to listen to this song over and over and over again.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7dyXfHcYw8&feature=related
somewhere between then and now I lost myself and found myself again.
This past week I've been loading songs onto my ipod and I ran across the CD that had this song on it. It's a good thing I've been in my car alone a lot this past week or there would be some severely annoyed people - "do we have to hear that song AGAIN?!"
it's Pretty Cool On Black
and yes, I cut my head off again. I could make this face and retake if you're going to complain about it.
On Friday I went to the South First Fridays ArtWalk, a nighttime tour through galleries, museums, and independent creative businesses in San Jose, California. After visiting galleries I walked around downtown. This abstract depicts decorative lights reflected by the side of an RV.
I processed a balanced, a realistic, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

It’s supposed to be the Soo Line’s first diesel locomotive in 1939 and it was still in commercial use until 2017 when it was donated by ILSX (Independent Locomotive Service) to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. It was built 9/1939.
