I could get a squirrel proof one but they have to eat as well even though they don't belong in this country

I had read about this behavior, but this is the first and only time I’ve ever seen it in action. Amazing!

Our local community gardens have been around for many years so the plots there have evolved their own sense of place and style - which often transcend whomever the stewarding gardener might be. Some of the most wonderful leftover artifacts are the "fences" which are, without a doubt, some of the most unique, artistic and ingenious fences I've ever seen.
Happy Fence Friday, my friends! Have an ingeniously inspiring weekend. :)
Ben Franklin has great respect for her ingenuity, skill and beauty – he called the turkey "very courageous" and "a real Native American". Franklin even suggested naming the turkey, rather than the eagle, as the national animal of the United States.
Part of the Perseverance mission to Mars, Ingenuity is the helicopter that flies in the Martian atmosphere and sends photos and videos back to Perseverance and from there to NASA on Earth. Ingenuity is more than two years into an intended 30 day mission, far exceeding expectations.
The clematis vine has become a symbol of mental strength and ingenuity because of its ability to climb up and around obstacles, twisting and spreading to reach lofty heights.
The nests these tiny hummingbirds build are amazing. They are roughly the size of a golf ball. You couldn't duplicate it with your hands and they do it all with their beak. True works of art.

A female Eastern Bluebird. Bluebird nest boxes in Carden Alvar are all against the fences; most often the birds land on a rusty fence wire before entering the nest. Some enterprising photographers decided to put up a broken piece of branch around the nest box to give the birds a more natural looking perch - only to forget about the cable ties. Carden Alvar, Kirkfield, Ontario
"Ingenuity quotient" è una definizione che trovai su Popular Science nel primo dopoguerra, mi colpì la corrispondenza con il comportamento di noi napoletani che secolarmente troviamo stratagemmi di sopravvivenza.
Qualche anno dopo mi capitò per mano un libretto di un filosofo tedesco del novecento dal titolo "La filosofia del rotto "dove ritrovai esilaranti aneddoti sul comportamento dei napoletani.

The United Nations is working towards expanding their powers yet again. If you fail, try again: write and rewrite, package and repackage, until it’s accepted. This is another step towards world governance.
Worker sweeps the floor in Humayun's Tomb.
The latticed windows, or "jalis," of Humayun's Tomb exemplify the exquisite blend of function and beauty in Mughal architecture. Crafted from stone or marble, these intricately designed screens serve practical purposes such as ventilation and the admission of natural light. Their geometric patterns and floral motifs not only enhance the visual appeal of the structure but also provide privacy and security. The lattice design allows air to circulate freely while filtering sunlight, creating a comfortable environment inside the tomb. Symbolically, these windows reflect the Mughal emphasis on craftsmanship and the fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural influences. They stand as elegant manifestations of the cultural richness and architectural ingenuity of the Mughal era, contributing to the timeless charm and historical significance of Humayun's Tomb as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Amish cooks would clean out their Mason jars, then turn them upside down and put them on fence posts around their gardens. The intense summer sun would generate enough heat inside the jars that the fence posts would actually char — perfectly sanitizing the jars.

People in the far north are quite clever when it comes to solving daily problems that might arise.
When your source of water is located high on the mountain side, and your home or business is well below - you simply make your own water pipeline. Of course this only solves the problem in the summer, as your jerry-rigged pipeline will freeze solid in the winter. In winter you will be digging a hole in the ice of the nearest body of water, filling containers, and hauling them home. I never said that life in the far north was easy. 😄
Acquedotto di Segovia.
Amazing sight how this marvel of design and construction is fully intact winding through the streets. Aqueduct still ported water till the 1800s.

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter captured this shot as it hovered over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which autonomously tracks the ground during flight.

The couple probably wanted a long-exposure shot of The Parkway but had no tripod. So he set it on the steps to steady the camera.
I mentioned in recent post (see comments: flic.kr/p/YCsaBT) that I might begin to develop a project that I thought of just as our trip to Ohio was ending. I want to try and show through photographs what the Amish life is really all about - not just snap pics of pretty scenery. If I had had this in mind before beginning, I would have been more thoughtful with what and how I was shooting. Any thoughts/ideas from the Flickr world are welcome.
"Ingenuity" is a necessary skill in Amish life.
Chand Baori, located in Abhaneri village, Rajasthan, is one of India’s deepest and largest stepwells, built around the 9th century by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty. Constructed to combat the region’s severe water scarcity, the stepwell features 3,500 narrow steps descending 13 stories to a depth of about 100 feet. Its geometric precision and intricate carvings exemplify ancient Indian architecture and engineering. Chand Baori also served as a community gathering place, providing a cool respite from the desert heat. Over the centuries, it has stood as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its builders, attracting visitors and historians fascinated by its historical and architectural significance.
Taken on a recent trip to Scotland. Loved this very original postbox on Easdale Island. Unfortunately we visited during a spell of harsh blazing sunshine, so the original shot was pretty much useless as it stood. Edited in Topaz Impression 2 with added textures taken on the trip :-)
