Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

Took a wonderful excursion during our visit to Cozumel on the fourth day of great cruise on board Royal Caribbean's Empress of the Seas (October 11th through 16th, 2017). The excursion was called the "Amazing Eco Park Expedition: Beach Break & Lunch" and it took place on Saturday October 14th, 2017. On this excursion, we rode an open safari bus as we headed towards the Punta Sur Eco Park on the southern tip of the island. We visited a nature area, a Mayan ruin, and enjoyed some quiet time on a private beach. We also got to visit the Celarain Lighthouse (or Faro Celarain). Here are some various pictures from the safari bus as we traveled.

This shot was taken on a very nasty day when I was making up a few shots for a prior photo challenge that I missed, and I found this beautiful patch of leaves just sitting there decaying on the sidewalk, so I felt almost obligated to have this image be a memory of a dead plant’s leaves. Much as the essence of autumn is to me, the fall months of October and November bring back sweet, and some bitter memories. My grandma died on Halloween 4 years ago, and it still breaks my heart to this day. Autumn to me means death, the death of people, good weather, plants, and baseball. I don’t care for autumn much.
At Camp Casey March 11, the Army in Area I recognized the work of community volunteers during a ceremony at the Community Activity Center. During the period from Nov. 15, 2012 to Feb. 15, 1,083 volunteers gave of their unpaid time in ways that saved the Army an estimated $123,268.56. During the ceremony, 24 of those volunteers received certificates of appreciation from the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I. - U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Lee Seong-su
Part of Portland’s popular culture for more than a century, the Rose Festival has its roots in tradition while its programming is both contemporary and nostalgic. Foresighted city leaders started the festival during the first decade of the 20th Century in order to put Portland on the map and brand it the ‘summer capital of the world.’ Little did they know that more than a hundred summers later the Rose Festival would be world famous for its amazing, award-winning events, as well as serving as a community leader for celebrating values like volunteerism, patriotism and environmentalism. In 2010, the Rose Festival was finally acknowledged as Portland’s Official Festival by proclamation of the Council.
With dozens of events spotlighting the diverse interests and culture of the community, the Rose Festival makes a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of lives annually, bringing smiles to the faces of both locals and guests. Peruse this website to learn more about the festival’s three popular parades, its three-weekend urban fair packed with great entertainment, good food and fantastic features, and about the iconic Court made up of local high school women making goodwill visits all around the state. The Rose Festival makes Portland a better place to live and visit.

This hawk made the kill right outside the 3rd floor window of our downtown Toronto apartment on christmas day. We heard it when it caught the pigeon (my wife described it with amusing macabre as a "death coo"), saw the feathers falling as the hawk prepared its meal shortly after. At this point we didn't know what was going on; when I saw the feathers I thought they were very large snow flakes. When we went outside we saw the hawk where it perched high in the tree devouring it prey, unconcerned of our human presence. It looks like a red-tailed hawk.
We've seen this hawk three times now in this area in the last few months. Twice in two weeks.
One of the big challenges in photographing birds is finding them in the first place. Sometimes I just see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, or I hear a bird song. They almost always see or hear me coming, and usually fly away before I can get a picture. Sometimes I can see the bird in or behind the bushes, but then my camera won't cooperate. I hope you can see past the flaws in these photos and share my joy in capturing them!
