Adult hippos move at speeds up to 8 km/h (5 mph) in water; typically resurfacing to breathe every three to five minutes. The young have to breathe every two to three minutes. The process of surfacing and breathing is subconscious: a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking up. A hippo closes its nostrils when it submerges into the water. As with fish and turtles on a coral reef, hippos occasionally visit cleaning stations and signal, by opening their mouths wide, their readiness for being cleaned of parasites by certain species of fishes. This is an example of mutualism in which the hippo benefits from the cleaning, while the fish receive food. Although hippos lie close to each other, they do not seem to form social bonds except between mothers and daughters, and they are not social animals. The reason they huddle close together is unknown. Hippopotamuses are territorial only in water, where a bull presides over a small stretch of river, on average 250 m (270 yds) in length, and containing 10 females. The largest pods can contain over 100 hippos.

Today's story and sketch "by me" we are in Sunny Southern Florida's favorite vacation destination Knobby's Wonder World, the theme park Knobby Gofish created by draining fifty square miles of Gator filled swamp, which is a story I have covered in many past episodes of the Rod Blog. Today though I am here at the "PST" Phalopian Stargate Transport terminal, the first intergalactic pod transport pick up and delivery, to and from the planet Voodoomus. Above you see a PST pod being piloted by Captain Bling, a former Moon Pie star freighter pilot who was forced into retirement, a Moon Pie company policy when pilots reach the age of 210. Below you see the PST Concierge a Gawanies Dung Beetle talking to a couple of living tissue Voodoo's who spent their honeymoon here at the Wonder World Honeymoon Hilton Village. The couple will board the Pod and be on their way, and will arrive at Voodoom in one hour and twenty minutes, if there is moderate traffic in worm hole 16, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.
I spotted a large pod of pelicans at Mud Lake last Saturday. Monday, we went back. Didn't see any pelicans. Happy to see these pelicans today. .

The pod--the pods. Beware of the pods! You could be talking to one and not even know it.

Designed for low-altitude cargo transportation, the C27 is used extensively in shipping yards across the galaxy, with many corporations outfitting craft with additional grasping arms or manoeuvring jets for handling more varied cargo.
I doubt this would sit well in the Star Wars galaxy due to its small size but I had a lot of fun building this little guy none the less! :D
I have a large poppy plant in a pot, bought last year. It survived the winter and has now flowered and gone to seed. A neighbour has/had some of these in his garden, not sure if they're still there. I was hoping my poppy would have been pollinated from his plants, but as these pods haven't opened, I'm guessing not. A candidate for 28th July Macro Mondays, but I went with the moss fern instead.
This is really different for me, playing with the macro a bit. View On Black
Texture is "Earth a bit dramatic" see the before
In one of the urns, I have dry hydrangea heads and dried Lotus Pods. These pods have glitter around the seed openings so I used them for Christmas decorations out there. Snow blew into the little empty pockets overnight where the seeds used to live.

There are lots of these types of structures in the water all over Lake Biwa in Japan.
I'm not sure wether they are used for monitoring or perhaps warn of shallow water - either way they are pretty photogenic!

This is an invasive, non-native shrub and I have my antipathies. But I can't help being enamored with the glow of the seed pods.
Asclepias syriaca - As September winds down, milkweed pods dry out and split open, releasing flat, brown seeds carried aloft by a white, silky fuzz known as milkweed floss. This was growing in our backyard in Carmel, New York.

1x LEGO DC Comics, Super Heroes - Bat-Pod (5004590)
It's taken me one hell of a journey to complete this awesome model designed by Marcos Bessa, finally it's complete (sort-of...)
NB:
-I have replaced 2x '4634091 - Rim Wide 43,2X26 W 6 Hol.Ø 4.8 (Light Stone Grey, Rims) with '6078892 - Rim Wide 43,2X26 W 6 Hol.Ø 4.8' (Black, Rims) due to them being black on the Tumbler.
-2x '6022949 - Wheel Bearing Back' on the left hand side of the Bat-Pod are absent as I forgot to order two more :P
