This is a fine silver ring made from PMC, 12ga fs wire, and a glass bead that I bought at a show a long time ago. I think the beads were from Eclectica, and they were made from vintage German molds. I am pleased with the little silver spacer that I carved, and I like that the bead spins smoothly. The ring is very comfortable to wear.
The Ring of Kerry (or Iveragh Peninsula to give it its correct name) is a tourist trail and part of the mystical & unspoilt region of Ireland that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. Its spectacular beauty is beyond question and it is a natural centre for outdoor pursuits that include golf, watersports, cycling, walking, running, riding and the very best fishing in freshwater rivers for salmon & trout and at sea for bass, ray, pollack, conger eel, cod, flounder, wrasse, mullet, mackerel and tuna.
This sculptural beaded suncatcher features three hearts in gradually decreasing sizes, the largest of which also has a large heart-shaped bead hanging from it. I created this piece from copper wire and an eclectic mixture of purple glass beads. I've also used steel chain repurposed from a necklace, and a ring repurposed from a keyring (which I have passed through a flame to give it a similar golden colour to that of the chain).
This suncatcher measures 33cm (13") long from the top of the hanging loop to its bottom, and 9.5cm (just under 4") at its widest part. It could be hung by a window to catch the sunlight, or in any plain corner of your home to add colour and a little quirky, handmade style.
Thank you for taking the time to view this suncatcher.

Ringing Rocks Park-Pottstown
While there are many boulder fields scattered throughout Pennsylvania, there are very few that possess a very specific property: they ring when they are hit with a hammer.
The ringing rock field near Pottstown was figured discovered in the 1740s, making it the oldest documented of the three fields in Pennsylvania. For the next 150 years, it was somewhat of an attraction for locals, though it wasn’t widely known.
In the 1890s, a group of local businessman created the Ringing Rocks Electric Railway Co. and started to build a small trolley park around the field. Over time, the park grew and both rides and an observation tower were added to the site.
In the 1950s, the park was purchased by the local fire department. They shut down the amusement park, but the area remained a popular spot for locals to visit.

as part of the gull control program,Department of Conservation and Recreation is conducting research related to the movements and behaviors of ring-billed, herring, and great black-backed gulls.
This research program is designed to address the following questions:
1. What and where are the seasonal food resources for each gull
species?
2. What are the movement patterns between feeding, loafing and
roosting sites?
Do they move between the DCR water supply reservoirs and
“alternate roosts”?
3. What are the population dynamics of gulls in Massachusetts?
a. Where do they nest?
b. What are the sources of mortality?
c. What is their lifespan?

The male Ring-necked Duck is a sharply marked bird of gleaming black, gray, and white. Females are rich brown with a delicate face pattern. At distance, look for this species’ distinctive, peaked head to help you identify it. Even though this species dives for its food, you can find it in shallow wetlands such as beaver swamps, ponds, and bays. Of all the diving duck species, the Ring-necked Duck is most likely to drop into small ponds during migration.
The piece comes from the series “Wild Flowers” I’ve designed last year.
The inspiration to make this ring came while observing the forest flora. The wild flowers growing in shadowy places turn their petals up to catch the rare rays of sunlight that penetrate woodlands in early morning.

The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight it shows a broad white wing-stripe. Breeds on beaches around the coast, but has also now breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.
Not only is Cemlyn Bay brilliant for terns but it is also pretty good for waders. Ringed plovers are full of character but, of the waders at Cemlyn, are one of the more skittish. It took quite a lot of patience, climbing over rocks and lying in uncomfortable positions to get close enough to the birds for these photos.
