This morning we woke up to about three inches of snow, and the temperature below freezing again! The heated feeders (we have four) are keeping our Anna's Hummingbirds nectar from freezing. All of the non-heated feeders were obviously frozen solid until I thawed a few of them out around noon. Early this morning, the Anna's were perched so tightly together on the heated feeders that they were sitting shoulder to shoulder, and many of them were sharing the feeding ports. I would estimate that we had about 40 to 50 Anna's feeding at one time. We didn't want to go outside to get photos of the super packed feeders early this morning for the obvious reason of the disturbance that we would create. The photos below were taken about 10:00 a.m. when the feeding frenzy slowed down and the lighting was a little better. We had a steady flow of about 20 to 30 Anna's feeding at one time for the rest of the day until just before sunset when the feeding ramped up again to get one last fill-up before their torpor!

Frozen Water Dancers

    

And... this is what you get when you take dancers, throw them in a flooded non-heated building at 0 degrees... and have them splash around for a good 6 hours.

 

Crazy good job guys, and more to come!

The 968 was mainly a restyled evolution of the 944, introduced in 1991, with design links visible to its predecessor. Design work was done by Harm Lagaay who had previously penned the 944 and 928 The front of the car largely resembled the top-of-the line 928, sharing its exposed pop-up headlamps and the integrated front bumper This frontal design would eventually appear on the 911 (993) two years later. While the exterior of the car was rounded and smoothed, the interior was largely unchanged and mostly shared with the preceding 944 S2 with the exception of switches and control knobs

  

From 1993 through 1995, Porsche offered a lighter-weight Club Sport version of the 968 Much of the 968's luxury-oriented equipment was removed or taken off the options list; less sound deadening material was used, electrical windows were replaced with crank-driven units, upgraded stereo systems, A/C and sunroof were still optional as on the standard Coupe and Convertible models. In addition, Porsche installed manually adjustable lightweight Recaro racing seats rather than the standard power-operated leather buckets (also manufactured by Recaro), a revised suspension system optimized and lowered by 20 mm for possible track use, 17-inch wheels. The 4-spoke airbag steering wheel was replaced with a thicker-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel with no airbag, heated washer jets were replaced with non heated, vanity covers in the engine bay were deleted, as was the rear wiper. The Club Sport has no rear seats, unlike the 2+2 Coupe. Club Sports were only available in Grand Prix White, black, Speed yellow, Guards red, Riviera blue or Maritime blue. Seat backs were colour-coded to the body. Club Sport decals were standard in either black, red or white but there was a 'delete' option.

The Porsche 968 evolved from the 944. and could easily have been called a 944 S3. In developement for a revised 944 S2 80% of the 944's mechanical components were either significantly modified or completely replaced by the engineers, leaving so little of the outgoing S2 behind that Porsche management chose to introduce the variant as a new model, entitling it 968. The 968 was powered by an updated version of the 944's straight-4 engine, now displacing 3.0 L changes to the power train also introded the then new VarioCam variable valve timing system, newly optimized induction and exhaust systems, a dual-mass flywheel, and updated engine management electronics among other more minor revisions.

The 968's styling was an evolution on that of the outgoing 944 which in turn was an evolution of the 924 ike the 944, the 968 was sold as both a coupe and a convertible.

The 968CS (Club Sport) was designed as a road and track day car, the car was lightened with a reduction to the sound deadening material, and loss of electrical windows. Upgraded stereo systems, air conditioning, and sunroof were optional. Recaro racing seats replaced the power-operated leather buckets, a revised suspension reduced ride height, the car rode on 17 inch wheels that were wider than the originals, rather than the 16 inch on the standard 968. The 4-spoke airbag steering wheel was replaced with a thicker-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel with no airbag, heated washer jets were replaced with non heated, vanity covers in the engine bay were deleted, as was the rear wiper. The Club Sport has no rear seats, unlike the 2+2 Coupe.

 

A UK-only version called "968 Sport", was offered in 1994 and 1995, and was essentially a Club Sport model (and was produced on the same production line with similar chassis numbers) with power windows, electric release boot, central locking, cloth comfort seats (different from both the standard and the Club Sport). With the added electrics the larger wiring loom was used. The Sport Variant also got back the two rear seats, again in the cloth material specific to the Sport. At £29,975, the 968 Sport was priced £5,500 lower than the standard 968, but had most of the latter's desirable "luxuries" and consequently outsold it by a large margin (306 of the 968 Sport models compared to 40 standard 968 coupés)

From the State Park's web page: Topsail Hill offers a wide variety of natural resources including 3.2 miles of secluded, white sand beaches with majestic dunes over 25 feet tall. Three rare coastal dune lakes provide excellent freshwater fishing. Although boats are not allowed, fishing from the shoreline yields bass, bream, panfish, and catfish. Lakes, pristine beaches, old-growth long leaf pines, sand pine scrub, and a variety of wetlands offer a bird-watching and hiking paradise. Visitors may bike, walk, or enjoy a quick ride to the beach on our timely tram service to swim, fish, sunbathe, or beachcomb. Gregory E. Moore RV resort features a (non-heated) swimming pool and shuffleboard courts. Furnished bungalows are available for weekly stays. A camp store offers a variety of camping items, as well as snacks and drinks.

Hey y’all! My name is Megan Kerns and I am so excited to share my day with you! I am a original Durhammite but I have lived in Raleigh for the past 8 years. I attended Durham School of the Arts for High School and graduated with an Education degree from NC State in 2012. On most weekdays, you can find me in the classroom. I am an 8th grade ELA & SS teacher and a portrait and wedding photographer! Although very different, both professions allow me to share stories, experiences, relationships and big ideas within the community. The last day of school was last Thursday (YAY) so I am starting my morning at Gratitude Hot Yoga Center in North Raleigh. This studio offers a variety of heated and non-heated classes every day of the week! Namaste RDU. The light in me, honors the light in you! 📷: @meganskerns #RunOnWithMegsBaton / on Instagram www.instagram.com/p/BGuCaS_Dh-f/

My favorite beach and snorkeling area. There was so much to do here!

  

I'm back! "You were gone?" you may say? Yes, and thanks for being so concerned I reply.

 

Just got back from a nine day vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean to escape from the -30 degree weather up here in Wisconsin. It was my first time in a plane, and I got some great pictures up there. The planes were great! The airports were not. Due to weather farther north, we got stuck in the Dallas airport on the return flights home all night, and got stuck in the non-heated section I might add with nothing but very thin blankets to cover up with. (it was only 18 degrees outside) But that made us much more happy to be home! When we arrived, my dad did most of the driving, which was quite the challenge, as people drive on the left side of the road at 55 miles an hour on extremely mountainous and hilly terrain with jungles and rock cliffs on both sides. And the car we used was my grandma's (who lives down there) and it had eyes, eyelashes, and lips.... We got many an odd look from the locals...

Went snorkeling at some of the best reefs everyday, which was absolutely amazing. Except for the day we were swept out in a nasty current and almost couldn't make it back. And the time my dad got stung in the face by some jellyfish... But even the harmful animals were quite beautiful... I got a little sea urchin spine in my pinky as a souvenir! There were lots of barnyard animals and strays roaming the streets as well, which was pretty strange but cool. My grandma has a friend down there who let us stay in her house on top of a hill, which I got some great sunrise photos over the ocean from. We even got to stay on a sailboat for a few days which we toured the surrounding beaches from. Even greater sunset pictures were taken here. But my favorite pictures of all were taken from climbing barefoot on the wave sharpened lava rocks to get good reef and rock formation photos. To get to the other side of the outcropping cliff which was completely vertical, I'd have to crawl along the side very carefully, at risk of falling onto the same lava rock five feet bellow in the two inch urchin infested water. And oh, did I mention that cacti thrive on these rocks? I always have enjoyed photographing in the most painful and uncomfortable conditions, and have also gotten the best pictures from those situations. Win win. They had many great photograph opportunities down there. Exotic flowers, beautiful forest covered mountains, great palm tree beaches, clear turquoise waters, and many amazing animals. I hope you enjoy viewing these warm summery photos trapped in your snow barred house! Oh, and did I mention it was a constant 73-84 degrees all week down there? ;3

 

And don't worry, I'll hopefully have more weapons posted soon. But I'm trying to save a few for brickworld. I'll also have more pencil art for those who enjoy that section of Pink Stormtrooper. Anyway, don't be too sad looking at these photos, spring is just around the corner!

 

San Antonio kids can enjoy the pool even in November as the temperature in this non-heated pool reads a nice, warm 78 degrees

A photo of the famous lido at last!!! I've been wanting to take photos of this pool as it has a place in the records. I think it is the largest outdoor pool in Europe (or second largest). It's opened all year-round and non-heated… People swim even during winter. There were a few people swimmmig this morning! Even in the cold weather!

What is the obvious video content I could replace here...

Waking up on the first day on the boat, eat some bacon, and then come up on deck to find a beatiful rainbow. It was acctually starting to look like a triple rainbow!

To get to the other side of the outcropping cliff which was completely vertical, I'd have to crawl along the side very carefully, at risk of falling onto the same lava rock five feet bellow in the two inch urchin infested water. And oh, did I mention that cacti thrive on these rocks? I always have enjoyed photographing in the most painful and uncomfortable conditions, and have also gotten the best pictures from those situations. Win win. They had many great photograph opportunities down there. Exotic flowers, beautiful forest covered mountains, great palm tree beaches, clear turquoise waters, and many amazing animals. I hope you enjoy viewing these warm summery photos trapped in your snow barred house! Oh, and did I mention it was a constant 73-84 degrees all week down there? ;3

 

And don't worry, I'll hopefully have more weapons posted soon. But I'm trying to save a few for brickworld. I'll also have more pencil art for those who enjoy that section of Pink Stormtrooper. Anyway, don't be too sad looking at these photos, spring is just around the corner!

Porsche 968 Coupe (1991-95) Engine 2990cc S4 M44/12 16-valve 236bhp

Production 12,776

Registration NumberL 622 JSG (Edinburgh)

PORSCHE SET

The Porsche 968 evolved from the 944. and could easily have been called a 944 S3. In developement for a revised 944 S2 80% of the 944's mechanical components were either significantly modified or completely replaced by the engineers, leaving so little of the outgoing S2 behind that Porsche management chose to introduce the variant as a new model, entitling it 968. The 968 was powered by an updated version of the 944's straight-4 engine, now displacing 3.0 L changes to the power train also introded the then new VarioCam variable valve timing system, newly optimized induction and exhaust systems, a dual-mass flywheel, and updated engine management electronics among other more minor revisions.

The 968's styling was an evolution on that of the outgoing 944 which in turn was an evolution of the 924 ike the 944, the 968 was sold as both a coupe and a convertible.

The 968CS (Club Sport) was designed as a road and track day car, the car was lightened with a reduction to the sound deadening material, and loss of electrical windows. Upgraded stereo systems, air conditioning, and sunroof were optional. Recaro racing seats replaced the power-operated leather buckets, a revised suspension reduced ride height, the car rode on 17 inch wheels that were wider than the originals, rather than the 16 inch on the standard 968. The 4-spoke airbag steering wheel was replaced with a thicker-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel with no airbag, heated washer jets were replaced with non heated, vanity covers in the engine bay were deleted, as was the rear wiper. The Club Sport has no rear seats, unlike the 2+2 Coupe.

 

A UK-only version called "968 Sport", was offered in 1994 and 1995, and was essentially a Club Sport model (and was produced on the same production line with similar chassis numbers) with power windows, electric release boot, central locking, cloth comfort seats (different from both the standard and the Club Sport). With the added electrics the larger wiring loom was used. The Sport Variant also got back the two rear seats, again in the cloth material specific to the Sport. At £29,975, the 968 Sport was priced £5,500 lower than the standard 968, but had most of the latter's desirable "luxuries" and consequently outsold it by a large margin (306 of the 968 Sport models compared to 40 standard 968 coupés)

I'm back! "You were gone?" you may say? Yes, and thanks for being so concerned I reply.

 

Just got back from a nine day vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean to escape from the -30 degree weather up here in Wisconsin. It was my first time in a plane, and I got some great pictures up there. The planes were great! The airports were not. Due to weather farther north, we got stuck in the Dallas airport on the return flights home all night, and got stuck in the non-heated section I might add with nothing but very thin blankets to cover up with. (it was only 18 degrees outside) But that made us much more happy to be home! When we arrived, my dad did most of the driving, which was quite the challenge, as people drive on the left side of the road at 55 miles an hour on extremely mountainous and hilly terrain with jungles and rock cliffs on both sides. And the car we used was my grandma's (who lives down there) and it had eyes, eyelashes, and lips.... We got many an odd look from the locals...

Went snorkeling at some of the best reefs everyday, which was absolutely amazing. Except for the day we were swept out in a nasty current and almost couldn't make it back. And the time my dad got stung in the face by some jellyfish... But even the harmful animals were quite beautiful... I got a little sea urchin spine in my pinky as a souvenir! There were lots of barnyard animals and strays roaming the streets as well, which was pretty strange but cool. My grandma has a friend down there who let us stay in her house on top of a hill, which I got some great sunrise photos over the ocean from. We even got to stay on a sailboat for a few days which we toured the surrounding beaches from. Even greater sunset pictures were taken here. But my favorite pictures of all were taken from climbing barefoot on the wave sharpened lava rocks to get good reef and rock formation photos. To get to the other side of the outcropping cliff which was completely vertical, I'd have to crawl along the side very carefully, at risk of falling onto the same lava rock five feet bellow in the two inch urchin infested water.

I hope you enjoy viewing these warm summery photos trapped in your snow barred house! Oh, and did I mention it was a constant 73-84 degrees all week down there? ;3

 

And don't worry, I'll hopefully have more weapons posted soon. But I'm trying to save a few for brickworld. I'll also have more pencil art for those who enjoy that section of Pink Stormtrooper. Anyway, don't be too sad looking at these photos, spring is just around the corner!

My grandma has a friend down there who let us stay in her house on top of a hill, which I got some great sunrise photos over the ocean from. We even got to stay on a sailboat for a few days which we toured the surrounding beaches from. Even greater sunset pictures were taken here. But my favorite pictures of all were taken from climbing barefoot on the wave sharpened lava rocks to get good reef and rock formation photos. To get to the other side of the outcropping cliff which was completely vertical, I'd have to crawl along the side very carefully, at risk of falling onto the same lava rock five feet bellow in the two inch urchin infested water. And oh, did I mention that cacti thrive on these rocks? I always have enjoyed photographing in the most painful and uncomfortable conditions, and have also gotten the best pictures from those situations. Win win. They had many great photograph opportunities down there. Exotic flowers, beautiful forest covered mountains, great palm tree beaches, clear turquoise waters, and many amazing animals. I hope you enjoy viewing these warm summery photos trapped in your snow barred house! Oh, and did I mention it was a constant 73-84 degrees all week down there? ;3

 

And don't worry, I'll hopefully have more weapons posted soon. But I'm trying to save a few for brickworld. I'll also have more pencil art for those who enjoy that section of Pink Stormtrooper. Anyway, don't be too sad looking at these photos, spring is just around the corner!

 

The return journey!

  

I'm back! "You were gone?" you may say? Yes, and thanks for being so concerned I reply.

 

Just got back from a nine day vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean to escape from the -30 degree weather up here in Wisconsin. It was my first time in a plane, and I got some great pictures up there. The planes were great! The airports were not. Due to weather farther north, we got stuck in the Dallas airport on the return flights home all night, and got stuck in the non-heated section I might add with nothing but very thin blankets to cover up with. (it was only 18 degrees outside) But that made us much more happy to be home! When we arrived, my dad did most of the driving, which was quite the challenge, as people drive on the left side of the road at 55 miles an hour on extremely mountainous and hilly terrain with jungles and rock cliffs on both sides. And the car we used was my grandma's (who lives down there) and it had eyes, eyelashes, and lips.... We got many an odd look from the locals...

Went snorkeling at some of the best reefs everyday, which was absolutely amazing. Except for the day we were swept out in a nasty current and almost couldn't make it back. And the time my dad got stung in the face by some jellyfish... But even the harmful animals were quite beautiful... I got a little sea urchin spine in my pinky as a souvenir! There were lots of barnyard animals and strays roaming the streets as well, which was pretty strange but cool.

On the boat we stayed on for three days, we got to live with our friend Rob's cat Joey while there. He was quite used to the water, and it funny to see him hopping around the boat. This is a picture I got when we first met him.

  

I'm back! "You were gone?" you may say? Yes, and thanks for being so concerned I reply.

Apparently these guys are great swimmers if he's all the way out there!

Probably my favorite picture I took down there. Such a beautiful scene, and the fogginess on my lens makes it look great!

Would this not make the most bestest MOC? I have got to build this someday. It's very square, so it wouldn't be that difficult.

Looks like the mast is holding up the rainbow. Too perfect!

Waking up on the first day on the boat, eat some bacon, and then come up to find this on my front lawn. It was even starting to look like a triple rainbow!

I hope you enjoy viewing these warm summery photos trapped in your snow barred house! Oh, and did I mention it was a constant 73-84 degrees all week down there? ;3

 

And don't worry, I'll hopefully have more weapons posted soon. But I'm trying to save a few for brickworld. I'll also have more pencil art for those who enjoy that section of Pink Stormtrooper. Anyway, don't be too sad looking at these photos, spring is just around the corner!

 

Seriously, look at all those tubes! Anyone have any idea what this is besides the obvious fact that thos "tubes" are roots?

  

I'm back! "You were gone?" you may say? Yes, and thanks for being so concerned I reply.

 

Just got back from a nine day vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean to escape from the -30 degree weather up here in Wisconsin. It was my first time in a plane, and I got some great pictures up there. The planes were great! The airports were not. Due to weather farther north, we got stuck in the Dallas airport on the return flights home all night, and got stuck in the non-heated section I might add with nothing but very thin blankets to cover up with. (it was only 18 degrees outside) But that made us much more happy to be home! When we arrived, my dad did most of the driving, which was quite the challenge, as people drive on the left side of the road at 55 miles an hour on extremely mountainous and hilly terrain with jungles and rock cliffs on both sides. And the car we used was my grandma's (who lives down there) and it had eyes, eyelashes, and lips.... We got many an odd look from the locals...

Went snorkeling at some of the best reefs everyday, which was absolutely amazing. Except for the day we were swept out in a nasty current and almost couldn't make it back. And the time my dad got stung in the face by some jellyfish... But even the harmful animals were quite beautiful... I got a little sea urchin spine in my pinky as a souvenir! There were lots of barnyard animals and strays roaming the streets as well, which was pretty strange but cool. My grandma has a friend down there who let us stay in her house on top of a hill, which I got some great sunrise photos over the ocean from. We even got to stay on a sailboat for a few days which we toured the surrounding beaches from. Even greater sunset pictures were taken here. But my favorite pictures of all were taken from climbing barefoot on the wave sharpened lava rocks to get good reef and rock formation photos. To get to the other side of the outcropping cliff which was completely vertical, I'd have to crawl along the side very carefully, at risk of falling onto the same lava rock five feet bellow in the two inch urchin infested water. And oh, did I mention that cacti thrive on these rocks? I always have enjoyed photographing in the most painful and uncomfortable conditions, and have also gotten the best pictures from those situations. Win win.

The 968 was mainly a restyled evolution of the 944, introduced in 1991, with design links visible to its predecessor. Design work was done by Harm Lagaay who had previously penned the 944 and 928 The front of the car largely resembled the top-of-the line 928, sharing its exposed pop-up headlamps and the integrated front bumper This frontal design would eventually appear on the 911 (993) two years later. While the exterior of the car was rounded and smoothed, the interior was largely unchanged and mostly shared with the preceding 944 S2 with the exception of switches and control knobs

  

From 1993 through 1995, Porsche offered a lighter-weight Club Sport version of the 968 Much of the 968's luxury-oriented equipment was removed or taken off the options list; less sound deadening material was used, electrical windows were replaced with crank-driven units, upgraded stereo systems, A/C and sunroof were still optional as on the standard Coupe and Convertible models. In addition, Porsche installed manually adjustable lightweight Recaro racing seats rather than the standard power-operated leather buckets (also manufactured by Recaro), a revised suspension system optimized and lowered by 20 mm for possible track use, 17-inch wheels. The 4-spoke airbag steering wheel was replaced with a thicker-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel with no airbag, heated washer jets were replaced with non heated, vanity covers in the engine bay were deleted, as was the rear wiper. The Club Sport has no rear seats, unlike the 2+2 Coupe. Club Sports were only available in Grand Prix White, black, Speed yellow, Guards red, Riviera blue or Maritime blue. Seat backs were colour-coded to the body. Club Sport decals were standard in either black, red or white but there was a 'delete' option.

Designed by Wolfgang Mobius under the guidance of Anatole Lapine was mainly galvanized steel, but the doors, front wing, front fenders, and hood were made of aluminium in order to make the car lighter. It had a substantial luggage area accessed via a large hatchback. The new polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic The 928 was originally intended to replace the 911, with a wider appeal and more of a Grand Tourer than out and out sports car. The 928 is also the companies first mass produced car to be powered by a V8 engine. During the cars 17 year span (1978-95) it evolved considerably and has been powered by V8 engines of 4.5, 4.7 5.0 and 5.4ltrs.

 

The 928 S4 variant debuted in the second half of 1986 as a 1987 model, an updated version of the 5.0 L V8 for all markets producing 316bhp (320PS) sporting a new single-disc clutch in manual transmission cars, larger torque converter in cars equipped with automatic transmission. Styling updates gave the car a cleaner, sleeker look.. Differences between European and North American market cars were reduced, with the only major differences being instrumentation in either kilometers or miles, lighting, front and rear bumper shocks, and the availability of catalytic converters in many other markets.

The Domain Wintergardens is a complex of gardens located within the Auckland Domain.

The Wintergardens consists of two large glasshouses: one non-heated Temperate House and one Tropical House (heated to an average of 28°C). In between the two glasshouses there is an ornate courtyard with several neoclassical statues and a sunken pond in the centre. Off to one side is the Fernery which is situated within the site of an old quarry.

The winter garden is a great place to go - even if it a winter rainy day.
