Ahhh you can see right up my nose!

I still do not have my camera back from being repaired, but it is now supposed to be done this Friday. Whew, talk about a test of patience! Anyway, while looking back through my set of shots from a recent Robin encounter, I again came across one that (to me anyway) clearly shows a hinged lower beak on this Robin. I still cannot find anything online about this, but to my untrained eye, it looks like the purpose of this beak structure is to help hold food and perhaps help it on its way down the gullet. I am looking forward to finally going out shooting again this weekend. Hope all my Flickr friends are doing well!

View for the top of the Giorgio Franchetti Gallery at Ca' d'Oro looking out over the Grand Canal, Venice day 5 of our Cosmos tour, October 4, 2012.

This is the only shot inside the Gallery as you were not aloud to take photos!

The typical Gothic architecture that characterises many buildings in the city and which culminates with the magnificent structure of Palazzo Ducale was characterised by an innovation that reached the city at the turn of the 15th century; it may have changed little in the actual building structure, but brought considerable changes to the decorative elements. Ca' D'Oro represents the highest and most complete example of this new wave of architecture. The building was built between 1421 and 1440 by Marino Contarini, a wealthy Venetian merchant, on the site where a Venetian Byzantine residence had previously stood. At the end of the 19th century, it became the property of Giovanni Meduna who made sweeping changes to the palazzo, completely unrelated to the original building. A Turinese Baron named Giorgio Franchetti purchased Ca D'Oro in 1894; he set about immediately to liberate it from the additions made by Meduna and restored the interior of the home as much as possible to its 15th century state. Franchetti added the beautiful mosaic to the floor in the ground floor portico, executed on the pattern of the mosaics in St. Mark's basilica, as well as the two-tone white and red marble decorations to the exterior walls. Baron Franchetti, who amassed an important collection of works of art, decided at the time he purchased Ca D’Oro that he wanted to make it a museum for his collections and the architecture of the palazzo. Then, World War I broke out and the Baron found himself in dire economic conditions; he decided to donate Ca' D'Oro and his collection to the city. The city administration carried on and financed his commitment to collecting and added other collections to the Franchetti treasures. The Baron was kept on as a consultant to city officials and worked together to make the Museum to what it is today.

Interesting to see these grapes in different stages of ripening, it appears, with the different colors.

I can't believe I FINALLY have two pictures. It may not be for long, but it's neat to finally be able to have a mini poster. :)

Note the upward tilt on the bullhorn bars of this mystery bike. (The Trek is also set up the same way.) Also note the shifter.

Tattoos are a big part of many people's lives, either when they are done just to decorate a part of the body or when they have an extra role, like keeping a memory alive or saying something that can't be said in words.

This projects sees them as a way to keep track of your life.

There are three models with a full body cover, with several connections between them

and tattoos depicting some aspects of their lives.

The typography writes "Interesting Pasts" emphasizing all the above.

Another delightful sign inside the bird park. It was drizzling off and on, hence the water droplets on the board. (Singapore, Oct. 2009)

life is like a box of chocolates. a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. so you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. sure, once in a while there's a Peanut Butter Cup or an English Toffee. but they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. so you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box... filled with useless brown paper wrappers.
