Grey crowned crane ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. They can also be found in marshes, cultivated lands and grassy flatlands near rivers and lakes in eastern from the Uganda and Kenya, south to South Africa. This animal does not migrate. There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps (crested crane) occurs from eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda, of which it is the national bird represented in its national flag, and Kenya to eastern South Africa. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller nominate species, B. r. regulorum (South African crowned crane), which breeds from Angola south to South Africa. This species and the closely related black-crowned crane are the only cranes that can roost in trees, because of a long hind toe that can grasp branches. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae.
Behaviour ~ The grey crowned crane has a breeding display involving dancing, bowing, and jumping. It has a booming call which involves inflation of the red gular sac. It also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane species. Both sexes dance, and immature birds join the adults. Dancing is an integral part of courtship, but also may be done at any time of the year.
Flocks of 30-150 birds are not uncommon.
Reproduction ~ During the breeding season, pairs of cranes construct a large nest; a platform of grass and other plants in tall wetland vegetation. The grey crowned crane lays a clutch of 2-5 glossy, dirty-white eggs, which are incubated by both sexes for 28–31 days. Chicks are precocial, can run as soon as they hatch, and fledge in 56–100 days.
Description ~ The grey crowned crane is about 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs)and a wingspan of 2 m (6.5 ft). Its body plumage is mainly grey. The wings are also predominantly white, but contain feathers with a range of colours. The head has a crown of stiff golden feathers. The sides of the face are white, and there is a bright red inflatable throat pouch. The bill is relatively short and grey, and the legs are black. They have long legs for wading through the grasses. The feet are large, yet slender, adapted for balance rather than defence or grasping. The sexes are similar, although males tend to be slightly larger. Young birds are greyer than adults, with a feathered buff face.

Military Orchid / orchis militaris. Homefield Wood, Buckinghamshire. 31/05/18.
'ANTHROPOMORPHISING AT ITS BEST!'
A close-up of one flower on a Military Orchid and (with a stretch of the imagination), showing how the plant gained its anthropomorphic common name.
Each flower is likened to a small soldier complete with arms, short stumpy legs and rows of tunic buttons running up his chest.
Three sepals above the 'body' hide the petals below and create the soldier's helmet. This is wider and rounded at the back and narrower, with points at the front. The exterior is noticeably paler, either white or a very delicate pink with few, if any, markings. By contrast, the interior of the helmet is darker with striking purple stripes.
This is definitely an orchid to devote some time on and have a really close look at.
On Gordon Point are the remains of Fort Ballance, a defence site that was once Wellington's primary source of protection against sea-borne invasion. Built in 1885 following fears of an impeding war with Russia, Fort Ballance is one of the best preserved of a string of nineteenth century coastal defences constructed to protect New Zealand from a naval attack. In 1885, the Government, reluctantly acknowledging that they could not rely solely on Britain for protection, commissioned engineer Major Henry Cautley to design a series of fortifications to protect the country's main ports.
Fort Ballance, Wellington's main fortification, was built by the Armed Constabulary, day labourers and prison inmates. Erected on the former site of Te Mahanga Pa the fort was named after the then Minister of Defence, John Ballance [1839-1893]. In the event of war Fort Ballance was to prevent enemy ships entering the inner harbour and provide covering fire for the minefield between Gordon Point and Ward Island. Supported by positions at Kau Point and Point Halswell, when fully armed, Fort Ballance had more guns than any other fort in New Zealand.

Second position is the highest qualifying spot Gole has ever had. His racer is entirely homemade...if you couldn't tell. And with no quality level sponsors, it isn't going to get any prettier. He did secure a good sponsor for his air supply; he figured he would need that one.
Gole's racer is 100% thruster based, no air foils for atmospheric flight. To be honest, not many pilots would be able fly this ship. Most say it is a pile junk. He says it is the fastest pile of junk in the system.
=======================
See my previous post for details on the racing league. And check out GolPlaysWithLego for the inspiration for the build. As with all of my builds, I try to get the digital instructions up on my Brickshelf page (LDraw format). So check it out.
further practise. removed the tacking from the under collar, back neck facing, front facing and sleeves. then cut out another undercollar, attached it to the back neck facing and machined both to the blazer neckline, continuing on to the front facing
critique
for the photo i should have opened the collar down to where the first button is to be positioned. never mind, next time
the collar, lapel and front are machined but still have to be edge stitched. that's for another day, as are the making of the button holes and covering the buttons in the same fabric.
happier with the collar and lapel though the angles are still not quite symmetrical.
hoping i don't mess up when i edge stitch.
reset and machined the sleeves to lose the puckering on the shoulder.
the hemming of the front, back and sleeves has not been done. i'll only do that on the actual blazer
tomorrow i'll prepare the green linen for the actual blazer
i'm following the classic blazer pattern downloaded from this reference book flic.kr/p/2q55djV

Wegen der schönen Flügelstellung wollte ich den Tumfalken mit Grille in dieser Version nicht auf der Festplatte verstauben lassen.
Bilder aus 60m Entfernung bekommt man auch in Photoshop nicht mehr komplett scharf (Wer das hinbekommt, sollte mir den Trick unbedingt verraten).
Because of the nice wing position, another version of the kestrel with a caught cricket. Lack of sharpness is due to the distance of 60m and additional cropping. Sorry for this.
A Oklahoma Brown Tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi) assumes a defensive position with pedipalps raised. Its spinnerettes are clearly visible and appear to brace its body as it stands at somewhat of an angle. This spider was photographed on a dirt road (that is where you find them) on the Comanche National Grasslands of Colorado during their annual "migration".
I was sent on a first aid course yesterday.
I was looking forward to it because I knew there would be big busted, mumsy ladies wrapping me in bandages all gently and with soothing voices and I would be able to glean a much needed dose of physical correspondence from the day.
It got even better. I bagged the prettiest girl as my bandage partner and a whole afternoon was whiled away with her tiny, delicate hands bundling me up.
Contrary to popular male fantasy; women don’t actually spend very much time touching each other. The rare occasions where I get to experience what men do of women is rather enlightening. They have a totally different way of touching. Every brush of fingers is infinitely gentler, more measured. Wafting over me as she leant forward to check if I was breathing was a delicious, feminine scent, soft hair tickled my neck. When it was my turn to dress her wound (ahem) and then elevate her arm I was struck by how delicate and tiny her arms and hands were, how pronounced her collar bone. Her shoulders were so narrow as I tied the sling behind her elegant neck. I moved her hair ever so carefully out of the way and a delicious shampoo smell rose.
Men are so lucky.
They get these gloriously scented, bird-like creatures whose touch feels like kisses from kittens while women get these rough skinned, heavy handed brutes whose touch feels like a rugby tackle and who would roll you into the recovery position as if you were a giant pile of dough. Maybe I am a closet lesbian, or maybe I just like the novelty factor of feminine caresses every so often, when I don’t want to be rolled around like an uncooked cottage loaf.
This little guy made my day, he positioned himself just right.
Ce petit gamin a bien fini ma journée, il s'est placé au bon moment et au bon endroit.

I photographed this ichneumon wasp in my garden (Ipswich, Suffolk) on 27 Apr 2016. ID suggested by Chris Raper and confirmed by Gavin Broad on the Facebook Hymenopterists Forum. It is a male - the female has a short ovipositor. No records for this species on the NBN Gateway for Suffolk, probably due to under-recording. As far as I know these wasps are parasitoids and predators of spiders' eggs. Maybe that was why it was visiting my garden, as there were many spiders out enjoying the sunshine.

Thal was able to snag the 5th position in modified cargo hauler. He took the cargo hauler for its rigid frame and added the needed thrust. But it is his blasters that draw the criticism. The ORL doesn't allow weapons on the racer--for obvious reasons--but they do allow for means of destroying asteroids and space debris. Let's just say he always seems to get the "random" inspections.

ELEGÍA PARA MÍ Y PARA TÍ
Yo seguiré soñando mientras pasa la vida,
y tú te irás borrando lentamente de mi sueño.
Un año y otro año caerán como hojas secas
de las ramas del árbol milenario del tiempo,
y tu sonrisa, llena de claridad de aurora,
se alejará en la sombra creciente del recuerdo.
Yo seguiré soñando mientras pasa la vida,
y quizá, poco a poco, dejaré de hacer versos,
bajo el vulgar agobio de la rutina diaria,
de las desilusiones y los aburrimientos.
Tú, que nunca soñaste mas que cosas posibles,
dejarás, poco a poco, de mirarte al espejo.
Acaso nos veremos un día, casualmente,
al cruzar una calle, y nos saludaremos.
Yo pensaré quizá: "Qué linda es todavía."
Tú quizá pensarás: "Se está poniendo viejo"
Tú irás sola, o con otro. Yo iré solo o con otra.
o tú irás con un hijo que debiera ser nuestro.
Y seguirá muriendo la vida, año tras año,
igual que un río oscuro que corre hacia el silencio.
Un amigo, algún día, me dirá que te ha visto,
o una canción de entonces me traerá tu recuerdo.
Y en estas noches tristes de quietud y de estrellas,
pensaré en ti un instante, pero cada vez menos....
Y pasará la vida. Yo seguiré soñando;
pero ya no habrá un nombre de mujer en mi sueño.
Yo ya te habré olvidado definitivamente
y sobre mis rodillas retozarán mis nietos.
(Y quizá, para entonces, al cruzar una calle,
nos vimos frente a frente, ya sin reconocernos.
Y una tarde de sol me cubrirán de tierra,
las manos para siempre cruzadas sobre el pecho.
Tú, con los ojos tristes y los cabellos blancos,
te pasarás las horas bostezando y tejiendo.
Y cada primavera renacerán las rosa,
aunque ya tú estés vieja, y aunque yo me haya muerto.
José Angel Buesa

This is the third in the series of images of our chance encounter with this amazing American Crocodile.
As I shared in the first image, this crocodile had a freshly caught kill in his possession and would swim around the pond with it in its' incredibly powerful jaws. Every so often it would prop itself out of the water, seeming to re-position that poor unfortunate bird. The real thrill for us as we were witnessing this event, which is something that I had never been fortunate enough to see previously, was what it would do next....
It would literally thrust itself up and out of the water - with jaw-dropping speed, intensity, and downright ferocity - and proceed to swing and thrash its kill, spinning it in circles, repeatedly slamming it onto the water's surface. Not sure if it was tying to separate its favorite body parts or merely mush it around for a little for easier consumption.
I know that this is totally gross (at least for me), but if you view this on large, you can actually see the blood and fresh meat inners flying off of it while enduring the "spin cycle" of this croc's ritual.
I apologize it this is a bit too graphic, but I would never have shared, or even taken this image, if I weren't utterly amazed at this display. It was surreal with unbelievable emotions and thought racing through my mind as we were observing. When I say that this was fast, that doesn't even approach description!
A couple of things I have read in the comments over the last 2 images resonated with me. First, I couldn't tell what kind of bird it was.... there were some features that I thought I could identify it, but not being sure. I'm glad for that - it was much less "personal", if you will. Second, many have said that they have observed crocs before, but pretty much doing nothing - usually just laying around, sunning themselves, or at times making their way down the Everglades waterways from one place to another. Us too! That's way we really felt fortunate to have been able to witness and capture these images. Lastly, the intensity of it all was frightening to me. This wasn't a big crocodile, by crocodile standards, probably about 6-7 feet long or so. I can only imagine what it would have been like with a "Big Daddy". So when it swam its way toward its home on the water's edge, I was a bit unnerved at first, since we were in his sights as he swam over and hauled itself onto the mound. But as I said earlier, I knew that it was full, therefore should have been pretty content, and after researching crocodiles, I now know that they have never attacked a human in the US. Still, I didn't want to be the first! :-)
Hope that you have enjoyed sharing our experience of sharing perhaps 30 minutes with this croc. Thanks for your views and comments!
Looking forward to this weekend! Hope everyone has a great one!

A kalesa (sometimes called a karitela) is a horse-driven calash (carriage) used in the Philippines. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning "wheels." This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots and some rural areas.
A kalesa looks like an inclined cart. It has two round wheels on each side and two rows of seats that can accommodate four persons. The driver sits on a block of wood located at the front of the cart near the horse.
Although the kalesa has become a rarity, some century-old examples are still preserved in areas of the Philippines, such as the city of Vigan and Laoag. Kalesas can also be found in Intramuros and Binondo in the city of Manila and also in Iligan City, which has a street where decorated kalesas can be taken for a ride. In Cagayan, kalesas are common, especially in Tuao and many other municipalities. In Tuguegarao City, they are mixed in traffic with private cars, motorcycles, sidecar motorcycles, jeepneys, trucks, and bicycles. (wikipedia)
Well, no surprise, the most sponsored racer gets the pole position. Don't call him Ted; don't even think about Teddy; it's Theodore. A light, strong frame, big engines, and accurate thrusters...yeah, pole position.
=======================
