Had some fun processing this shot for the Slider Sunday site. Went crazy with a fake sun flare and really pushed the vibrance sliders to the max. Caution - you may need sun glasses to view.

I upgraded to a new Cuisinart Bread Machine. This one is lighter than my old Breadman and it's so much easier to use. It even has a light inside so you can watch the bread. I will slice it and freeze it later. I held the camera over the top of the machine to get this photo.

Your guess is as good as mine. LOL - Sandhill Crane adult
Sandhill Crane - In the Wild - is it in distress? is it not?
stuck on its lower bill? - likes it? - playing around w/ it?
We'll never know as we left him there - to fend for himself...or not.
(didn't seem to bother him and his bills were operational to feed)
*[left-click for a closer-look - sharp profile portrait w/ debris]
Not sure what he's got there. Could be anything picked up today? or an hour ago? or somewhere between here and Canada? Didn't want to stress it out - by trying to help remove the weird hanging debris.
Very Big-Bird - massive 6ft 7in wingspan!

they are REALLY, REALLY LOUD! Fun to hear. LOL]
*[Incredible that these (two) are totally WILD and floating
around North America. They seem to return every winter]

SUNSET ~ Shelf-Cloud ~ Florida Everglades
Palm Beach County, Florida U.S.A. - 6/23/20
I'm going to stay on this 'great-night' for a while, if you don't
mind. I got far too many 'great-keepers' to let them pass and
get buried in the archives. It was the best night of the year
(so far) with its amazing sunset/weather-phenomena and the
shelf-cloud. Only the second shelf-cloud I've ever seen in South
Florida. So bear with me for a little while, and thanks for looking.

Fun Story: Back-in-the-day, in the mid-60's, my family would drive us all from New York to Florida in the middle of the winter to escape the snow and cold for a little while. We always looked forward to it! We stayed at a hotel right on Miami Beach called, "The Blue Mist".
(It's been gone for 30+ years.) Out in front of the hotel were TWO huge scantily-dressed mermaid-statues! My little-sister would tell her teacher-and-classmates beforehand that we were going again to see the "Blue Bras"! LOL Our family still gets a laugh out of that one!

I imagined these granite posts looked like soldiers going over the top.
After three visits, waiting for good cloud and wind, I managed to capture a long exposure with cloud moving away to try and create impression of exploding bombs.!!!!

Antwerpen-Centraal (Antwerp Central) is the name of the main railway station in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The station is operated by the national railway company NMBS.
The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway.
The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen.
The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style.
In 2009 the American magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth greatest train station.

I designed this pincushion so long ago and never got around to writing the pattern....too much little stuff involved. Maybe a simpler one is in the works : )
