I believe this is a Glaucous-winged x Herring Gull hybrid, but not positive. There are many gulls that are hybrids in the area and often present a problem for ID. Perched on a rock near Bonneville Dam, Skamania WA, 17 Nov 2020.
This is a concept I dreamed up about people that solve problems all day, people issues, technical issues. Spending your whole day solving problems! This is how I feel most days! hence the epitome of puzzles.. behold the Rubix breakfast! Solving problems from the moment you wake!
I have big problems with Flickr for the last 12 hours or so - it takes ages for the pages to open - if at all, so please bear with me if I am slow to visit you.

Description in English and Dutch:
I already uploaded photos of the Westduinpark in The Hague near Scheveningen. Wednesday I was in the same park, but then the part near Kijkduin. This is photo number 7 in the new series. It is an impressive dune area that runs approximately from Scheveningen harbor to Kijkduin.There are Scottish Highlanders in the protected nature reserve to control the vegetation and there is really a lot to see in terms of flora and fauna. It is a combination of dunes, open sand area and forest. It is very special there because dunes and forests alternate and sometimes merge into one another. On warm sunny days, a lot of women walk barefoot on the sandy areas, to experience the ultimate feeling of freedom.There are hiking trails as well as cycle paths and horse riding trails in the very interesting park. A lot of people are really impressed by the vegetation, bunkers from the Second World War, steep dune hills and the impressive viewpoints. The view at those points of the beach and the sea and on the other side the buildings of the city is truly phenomenal. Come there once and experience a invisible blanket of oasis and peace. You will imagine yourself in a kind of paradise where worries and problems do not exist and where the war of thoughts in everyone's head disappears like snow in the sun for a moment in time, because freedom is in each of us.

Eerder heb ik al foto's geüpload van het Westduinpark in Den Haag bij Scheveningen. Woensdag was ik in hetzelfde park, maar dan in het gedeelte bij Kijkduin. Dit is foto 6 van de nieuwe reeks van het Westduinpark. Er zijn hier ook Schotse Hooglanders in het beschermde natuurgebied aanwezig om de vegetatie in balans te houden. Buiten de vriendelijke hooglanders is er nog veel meer moois te beleven qua flora en fauna. Het park is een combinatie van duinen, open zandgebied en bos. Het is daar heel bijzonder, omdat duinen en bos elkaar afwisselen en soms in elkaar overlopen. Op warme zonnige dagen lopen veel vrouwen blootsvoets op de zanderige gebieden om het ultieme gevoel van vrijheid te ervaren. In het parkgebied zijn zowel wandelpaden als fietspaden als ruiterpaden aanwezig.Veel mensen die er voor het eerst komen zijn echt onder de indruk van de vegetatie, de overblijfselen van de bunkers uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de steile duinheuvels en de indrukwekkende uitzichtpunten. Op zo’n uitzichtpunt kun je vanaf de sfeervolle bankjes heerlijk genieten van het uitzicht op de gebouwen van de stad of aan de andere kant van het strand en de zee. Als je een keer in de buurt bent dan raad ik zeker aan om dit geweldige gebied te bezoeken. Een oase van rust en vrede zal als een onzichtbare deken over je heen vallen waarna je jezelf daar dan echt in een soort van paradijs waant. Op die magische Haagse plek zullen de negatieve gedachten in je hoofd daarom als sneeuw voor de zon verdwijnen.
I got trees to prune.

A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together (or take them apart) in a logical way, in order to find the solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, relational puzzles, and logic puzzles. The academic study of puzzles is called enigmatology.
Puzzles are often created to be a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logical problems. In such cases, their solution may be a significant contribution to mathematical research.
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the word puzzle (as a verb) to the end of the 16th century. Its earliest use documented in the OED was in a book titled The Voyage of Robert Dudley...to the West Indies, 1594–95, narrated by Capt. Wyatt, by himself, and by Abram Kendall, master (published circa 1595). The word later came to be used as a noun, first as an abstract noun meaning 'the state or condition of being puzzled', and later developing the meaning of 'a perplexing problem'. The OED's earliest clear citation in the sense of 'a toy that tests the player's ingenuity' is from Sir Walter Scott's 1814 novel Waverley, referring to a toy known as a "reel in a bottle".
The etymology of the verb puzzle is described by OED as "unknown"; unproven hypotheses regarding its origin include an Old English verb puslian meaning 'pick out', and a derivation of the verb pose.

This is a Kittiwake on the tip of an iceberg. It had calved from a glacier in Bellsund on the west coast of Spitsbergen and I liked the contrast against the dark cliffs behind. Although the black legs and wing tips blend in a little too much. Kittiwakes are a common breeding bird in Svalbard and you can sometimes see hundreds of them feeding at the foot of a glacier like this: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53130537482/in/photolist
The idiom "Just the tip of the iceberg" started to be used in the twentieth century after the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in 1912, though it may have been that people were more aware of icebergs after this disaster, rather than the event actually spawning the phrase. The tip of the iceberg refers to the idea that up to 90% of an iceberg is hidden below the surface and the idiom is used to suggest that a problem is much larger than it first appears. So in the phrase, the tip actually refers to the whole iceberg visible above water, rather than the bit at the very top.

CHEF clabudak wants us to have fun with math and geometry!
➤ Your image must have an overall abstract quality
➤ It must include at least one human body part
➤ Also at least one geometrical shape
➤ And a mathematical or geometrical diagram and/or equation
➤ NO MONOTONES
Well, of course, I was wrong! I HAVE used math quite a bit in my lifetime. All the items pictured were from Pixabay. Text from Picsart.
:V So troll.
Thanks to Eclipse because this wouldn't not be possible without his help LOL.
45. I'll most likely end up doing some sort of Scene or something that uses all 45 and it will be legit.
This is a profound spot, simultaneously peaceful and dangerous. It provides an excellent reminder of the duration and power of nature, and just how insignificant we and our problems really are.
I have sorted the problem out. their was nothing wrong with blouse all along the problem lay with the skirt.
I think the blouse makes a cute mini dress what do you think?

Just got back on Flickr. Bad Panda all morning. Hello everyone, if you want the status of Flickr and its problems go to the following website -- status.flickr.net/
Closeup of a black and white ruffed lemur. At Palmarium Reserve, we saw several families of this animal, some with youngsters. Most of the time, they were high in the trees, but sometimes they came down lower to check out the visitors.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) is a Critically Endangered species of ruffed lemur, the more endangered one of two which are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Despite having a larger range than the red ruffed lemur, it has a much smaller population that is spread out, living in lower population densities and reproductively isolated. It also has less coverage and protection in large national parks than the red ruffed lemur. Three subspecies of black-and-white ruffed lemur have been recognized since the red ruffed lemur was elevated to species status in 2001.
Together with the red ruffed lemur, they are the largest extant members of the family Lemuridae, ranging in length from 100 to 120 cm (3.3 to 3.9 ft) and weighing between 3.1 and 4.1 kg (6.8 and 9.0 lb). They are arboreal, spending most of their time in the high canopy of the seasonal rainforests on the eastern side of the island. They are also diurnal, active exclusively in daylight hours.
Quadrupedal locomotion is preferred in the trees and on the ground, and suspensory behavior is seen during feeding. As the most frugivorous of lemurs, the diet consists mainly of fruit, although nectar and flowers are also favored, followed by leaves and some seeds.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur has a complex social structure and is known for its loud, raucous calls. It is unusual in that it exhibits several reproductive traits typically found in small, nocturnal lemurs, such as a short gestation period, large litters and rapid maturation. Wikipedia

are you here to make your confession, my son?
yes, father. it's my first time. I'm not sure if I can do it.
of course you can. what are your sins, my son?
you promise not to tell anyone?
you can rely on me. in fact, it's nothing personal at all. go ahead, ask me if I care.
you don't care?
whatever you did is definitely not my problem. no way. isn't that comforting?
somehow it's not exactly what I thought.
you see? I knew I could put your mind at ease.
yeah. something like that.
D8001 passes Woodthorpe (on the southern edge of Loughborough), working 2A36 15.40 Loughborough - Leicester North. Taken during the first day of the Great Central Railway Autumn 2024 Diesel Gala. [Pole, 4/6 sections (~5.4m)]
This was the first train I photographed here this afternoon, and the first time I'd visited this spot since the houses had been built - and the first time I'd attempted any shots here using the pole and stood on the non-railway side of the fence (the previous visits had been during photo charters). After taking this, I changed to a wider lens (31mm, equivalent to 46.5mm on full frame) in order to include the taller tree on the right, and all subsequent photos were taken using that lens albeit stood in exactly the same spot.
It was only when I looked at the images on a computer screen that I spotted the top of a tree was just clipping the rear bogie of the rear coach. It's less of a problem when I used a wider lens because the train was slightly further forward, but standing slightly to the right or extending the pole further would have removed the problem. In this image its top has had an encounter with an electronic chainsaw...

With a problem with the heating on all three of the Mercedes, tonight's bus for the evening part of UB1 is Dennis Dart 504. Seen at Old Steine before starting the night.
You’re looking at a 1938 Cadillac 75 2-Door Convertible which just about didn’t make it off the drawing boards, as far as this composite goes. Both, the picture of the large barn-like structure in the background and the picture of this ’38 Caddy were recorded at the Grand Experience classic auto show at the Gilmore Museum in 2014 ……….but at different times, different locations and under slightly different lighting condition. The “time and place” posed no particular problem but the lighting conditions were the challenge which, quite frankly, I believe I have not fully overcome. Shadow, shadow……everywhere a shadow,
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you do the shadow?
I told myself I would never attempt to place a car into a mixed lighting area (part sunlight, part in shadow) but as you see I did and although I attempted using about fifty different mixed shadow effects (as reflected on a portion of the car’s body by the tree on the far right), nothing looked right or believable. At somewhere around fifty, I threw up my hands and said - well, you don’t really want to hear what I said so let’s just say, I was at my wits end. I am sure if one looks at this scene critically, one will spot the inconsistencies, so don’t look at this scene critically. Just squint your eyes and imagine that everything in the picture is hunky-dory.
I believe the following, which was obtained from the conceptcarz web site pertains to ‘this particular car’ but without having the chassis number, I can’t be positive. Here is what conceptcarz/Daniel Vaughn writes I believe about, this car.
Coachwork: Fleetwood
Chassis Num: 3271250
High bid of $65,000 at 2008 RM Sothebys. (did not sell)
For 1938, Cadillac moved the headlamps into the front fenders for the up-market Series 65 and Fleetwood Series 75 models. The bodies became more curvaceous than that of the prior models, particularly from the rear. Optional dual sidemounts covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were sliding rather than hinged construction. Technical innovations for 1938 included column shift, a transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, new wheels, a hypoid rear axle, horns hidden behind the grille, and a Synchro-Flex flywheel.
The Series 75 was given an increase in compression which lifted horsepower to 140. * Sporty looking but certainly not a speed demon.
This particular example wears an older restoration and painted in a soft yellow color. There are wide whitewall tires, a tan cloth top and refinished chrome accents. The interior upholstery is dark brown leather, and the dashboard is dark chocolate brown.
In 2008 this 1938 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Coupe was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $75,000-$100,000. A high bid of $65,000 failed to satisfy the reserve and the car was left unsold.

PS: I know who the current owner is and where he lives but I would rather not say under this format. Actually, it’s immaterial since I know that I don’t! (own it, that is ;)
Hope ya’all enjoy…………………..
After a busy day and thinking that I wouldn't get to upload this week I had a look through the games that we have and came across one of my wife's birthday presents.
As I was struggling for ideas on how to present it I decided to go for diagonal lines and curves.
We did have a Trivial Pursuit box bit unfortunately all the pieces with exception of the cards are missing.
The Paint Mines near Colorado Springs CO. A very odd collection of hoodoos and "painted" clay, with various wild and clashing colors emerging. It was a surprisingly interesting and unique formation. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calhan_Paint_Mines_Archeological_Di... for more info about how it was formed.
I was taking a long exposure shot with the most colorful hoodoos in the post-sunset fade to blue hour and my teenage daughter walked in to the frame and stood on a distant hoodoo. I had her stand still for the remainder of the exposure so there is a non-distinct form on the horizon in the distance which I thought added an interesting touch to the picture. The title is just what popped in to my head thinking about the bizarre colors, it all looks rather psychedelic.
Explored on 8/29/2015 reaching #25. Many many thanks to all who visited, faved and commented. And yes, this is real. The colors are warmer due to the ND filter I used for a long exposure, though they are not that much different than what one would see with the naked eye. After seeing this had been cross posted to Reddit in full size, I noticed there is a lot of color fringing around the edge of the hoodoo on the left. I'll have to fix that one of these days but at the moment, enjoy with CA problems and all :-)
