Avocets Feeding - Merritt Island
Space Coast Photo #17
From Animals ADDA:
Avocets are wader birds of the genus Reurvirostra, characterized by long legs and long, up curved bills. They live in wetlands and during feeding they sweep their bills from side to side. Avocets are rare and critically endangered bird species. They represent four species of the genus Recurvirostra which are commonly known as Pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta), American avocet (Recurvirostra Americana), Red necked avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae), and Andean avocet (Recurvirostra andina). They also have migratory activity.
I have not had time to sort and edit an image yet today so hear is one I did a while ago.

I found this guy on my walk this morning. It is interesting how long his legs are and how he is using them to stay put. Thanks for the ID Paul - this is a Crane Fly. Although they are sometimes referred to as Daddy Long Legs - this isn't the Daddy Long Legs that I am familiar with - the ones I know don't have wings.

On April 29 of this year, just before turnstones migrate to the far north, on the same part of the same beach I saw an individual with these same colored legs and bill, which are very, very unusual for this species. I am assuming it is the same bird. See this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/marlinharms/52040537111/
Which brings to my mind the question of how many of the other Black Turnstones, which seem to me to look identical to each other, are the same individuals we saw last year, before spring and fall migration. And the same question goes for other species as well. Of course there is some mortality and, after the breeding season, some recruitment. But still, the question lingers.
Later note: my friend, Kaaren Perry, saw "the same" bird on the same beach on Dec. 7, 2021.
I have a huge amount of photos shot over several years which were passed over in favour of the shot I preferred the most on the night. This is one example.
I can only imagine I rejected this one at the time due to the suspiciously wide pose by Tim G!

Also had to check that the title, "Legs Akimbo" was actually a thing. I've been using the phrase for years and I just googled it to make sure it wasn't inadvertently an offensive phrase! It's not...

Hi everyone!
It's–it's been a minute, you know? Haven't posted anything in awhile, but I'm back for a hot second! I started this back in March, and actually built most of it fairly quickly (which is not normal for me :P), but due to my landscaping job, had zero time to finish small details and take pictures, much less edit them. I'd get home and go to sleep haha. But, all that aside, I am super happy with how this turned out. I feel like I see too many LEGO tudor houses (I'm not dissing anyone–tudor houses look GREAT–that's just my observation haha), and I really wanted to try something new. So I looked up old cottages in Europe, and came across some pretty awesome, solid stone houses. I was inspired. :P
Also, I've realized recently that I haven't been challenging myself in larger builds, which makes the end result somewhat less satisfying. So in this build, I challenged myself in four ways: 1) it had to be built on an uneven base (something I often have a hard time with), 2) the MOC had to be viewable from all sides with equal detailing throughout, 3) I had to incorporate obvious angles into the landscape that would fit/flow seamlessly, and 4) my house had to have an interior. #4 was the hardest, not only because I've never really built an interior before (the rafters were SO HARD to get right! I went through so many different designs), but it also meant the walls had to look good from both the outside, as well as the inside.
But wow, those three challenges made my building experience so much more interesting and exciting! I hope you guys like the final product as much as I do! Everything about this MOC was fun to build (and maybe frustrating sometimes but overall a great experience haha). It's on my list of favorites (I might even consider this better than my castle). As always, the pictures don't quite do it justice, but that's how I always feel haha.
I was hoping to get some more building in, but I wasn't able to make it happen. I've got a job at a summer camp, and I leave tomorrow. So I'm going to disappear again for a few months, then hopefully be back with another large project. :D
Thanks for viewing (and not forgetting about me :P)!

Jon took care of the boy and used all the tricks he learned during his journey to smuggle the two of them back to their hometown. It was a long journey, yet with each step towards their families, they felt happier. But as Jon spotted his father he didn't even greet him properly. He shouted excitedly: "Father, father, Abdul..we have to take care...." Suddenly he saw how a tear ran down his father's cheek. "Son, how? Where have you been?", he stammered. Other people at the Marketplace recognised Jon and shouted: "He's back! And the kidnapped boy is with him! Jon is here!"
Jon's father said: "Jon whatever happened: Let's bring the blacksmith's son to his family. They're experiencing the worst time of their lives right now. Let's redeem them."
There are no Options anymore, sorry. There will be one final vignette soon :))
Hope you enjoy :)

I am extremely proud and excited to present my latest model for you guys today. I'm just so happy with how the 246 GT turned out! It's shorter in overall height than a minifig, but still seats a driver.
One of my personal favorite details about the original car is the "wraparound" rear windscreen, which curves seamlessly into the C pillars, which I did my best to emulate on this model. I also had a last minute idea on how to suggest the yellow Dino logo on the wheels by using these old yellow wheel holders + the Cars wheel hubs that have a hole straight through the center! A yellow bar gives a similar effect to the steering wheel.
Hope y'all enjoy! This one will probably make its way over to my Rebrickable shortly. I haven't been updating RB as much since my techniques have gotten pretty wacky and I feel less confident in suggesting people emulate them, but this is actually a really stable and playable model.
I was out scouting for a job yesterday and ......
This rather gorgeous pair were just bumming about at the roadside.. worth a snap I thought..... still couldn't work out the loo roll
What's your thoughts
