Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.

ENG: You can see the Tram TM 36 (3587) of the Berlin Transport Company (BVG) in front of the Kleinmachnower lock directly at the river Teltow canal and dates back to 1938. This now serves as an information center of the regional heritage association. Part of the lock building can also be seen in the background.
It is part of the Tram (Street Car) line 96, which once connected Behrenstrasse in Berlin Mitte and Tempelhof with Teltow, Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow. In 1887, a 5-kilometer streetcar line was built from Groß-Lichterfelde, now called Lichterfelde-Ost, to Teltow. It was initially single-tracked and required a travel time of 30 minutes. Four years later, the line was extended to Stahnsdorf and in 1905 to Machnower Schleuse. The steam vehicles (also known as lame ducks) were not very powerful at the time, so the line was converted to electric operation in 1907. From 1930, it then drove as line 96. But with the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Tram operation was unfortunately discontinued. Since 2012, the car is open to visitors after extensive renovation.

GER: Zu sehen ist der Triebwagen TM 36 (3587) der Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) vor der Kleinmachnower Schleuse direkt am Teltow-Kanal und stammt aus dem Jahr 1938. Dieser dient jetzt als Informationszentrum des regionalen Heimatvereins. Im Hintergrund ist auch ein Teil des Schleusen Gebäudes zu sehen.
Er ist ein Teil der Bahn Linie 96, die einst die Behrenstraße in Berlin Mitte und Tempelhof mit Teltow, Stahnsdorf und Kleinmachnow verband. 1887 wurde eine 5 Kilometer lange Straßenbahnstrecke von Groß-Lichterfelde, heute heißt es Lichterfelde-Ost, nach Teltow gebaut. Sie war zunächst eingleisig und benötigte eine Fahrzeit von 30 Minuten. Vier Jahre später wurde die Strecke dann bis Stahnsdorf und 1905 bis zur Machnower Schleuse verlängert. Sehr kraftvoll fuhren die Dampffahrzeuge (auch lahme Enten gennant) damals nicht gerade, daher wurde 1907 die Bahn dann auf elektrischen Betrieb umgestellt. Ab 1930 fuhr sie dann als Linie 96. Doch mit dem Bau der Berliner Mauer wurde der Straßenbahnbetrieb leider eingestellt. Seit 2012 steht der Wagen nach umfassender Sanierung für Besucher offen.

Vi ho già parlato di loro, Milo Isabel e Kenia, ma mentre altri hanno trovato adozione, loro si trovano ancora al Rifugio Ohana di Banda a 4 Zampe Umbria.
Lei è Isabel, una cagnolina bionda e di piccola taglia che è al rifugio con la mamma Danielle. E' più timidina della mamma, ma ora comincia anche a uscire in passeggiata, e con un po' di pazienza si farà coraggio. Ad ogni modo non verrà data in adozione da sola, ma con la mamma. Non è molto dolce?

The Church of the Gesù (Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù), the Church of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. It also called the “Gesu Church” and is the Mother Church the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit order), founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola. It is a hidden gem in this city of over 800 Churches and well worth a visit. It was built for the Society of Jesus by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and consecrated in 1584. The church has served as model for hundreds of future Jesuit churches all over the world.
The church was consecrated by Cardinal Giulio Antonio Santorio, the delegate of pope Gregory XIII, on November 25, 1584.
This is one of those new-to-camera- lens-yard-and-me shots. The house wren arrived some days ago but I was unable to get a shot off until today. Not sure what she’s up to. She’s been checking out all the holes left by the downies and nuthatches and seems to like this one the best. Her pose seems to indicate that she feels she’s part of the in-crowd and I am just glad she acquiesced to do this shoot.
Naturally, this shot was facilitated by perfect positioning of the Adirondack. The major challenge was, however, to not drift off into a snooze. This was accomplished by some mental gymnastics that involved perfecting the recipe for what I call Apple Blossom. Of course it’s not a flower, it’s the perfect summer drink. I was introduced to this in the early eighties in Victoria’s Inner Harbour in a place called the Captain’s Palace (changed to Huntingdon Mansion). It’s one of those Victorian mansions converted into a restaurant and they really serve(d) wonderful fare. And part of the breakfast menu was, you guessed it, the Apple Blossom. I could have stayed there all day sipping this nectar of the gods and observing the goings on in the harbor. They never did tell me what the ingredients were but due to my tenacious nature (I’ve been called a pit bull) I am now getting awfully close and finally reaping the fruits of my labor.

I found along the way at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum...
The bright orange-and-black color of adult ailanthus webworm moths apparently serves to warn potential predators that this moth may be distasteful or toxic if eaten.
Built in 1892 in collaboration with British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall during the Meiji era (1868–1912) when Japan was rapidly modernizing. It served as a railway passage between Yokokawa in Gunma and Karuizawa in Nagano. Services stopped in 1963, and the bridge was repurposed as part of a nature trail in 2001.
The exceptional view from Titterstone Clee, all the better for being served up on a crisp, clear winters morning when the distant hills of Malvern and the Brecon Beacons are all clearly visible...
My Dad took this shot of Extra 712 West at Newberry on August 16, 1986. Lighting was poor but I thought it was pretty neat after looking at it awhile with the Conductor heading for the power with a lunch to go for his crew from Timber Charlie's Restaurant & Bar which is just west of the M-123 crossing that's behind Dad in this shot. 712 and 4418 have 13 cars and will soon be off for the next stop which appears to be Munising Junction by the trains make up. Much work done in Lightroom/Photoshop to bring this Thirty Thursday submission.

A brand new CPKC Tier 4 Gevo, CP 7431 leads CP 230 out of the tunnel. Another one of the use also served as a mid DPU. Ready or not, this CPKC paint scheme will become the new norm, as well as these new units.
We came upon this Cheetah an hour or so after sunrise. I don't think we missed the kill by more than 30 minutes or so.
Bad day for the impala but the Cheetah started the day with a full stomach.
Although Norfolk is currently going through the wettest February on record. The weather has also served up a couple of wonderful sunrises including this one which was captured from my vegetable patch.
Taken near Fulmodeston, Norfolk, England.
Monterrico, Pacific coast of Guatemala.
The town of Monterrico serves as a major weekend beach resort for citizens of Guatemala City.
It is a 2.5 hour drive from either Antigua or Guatemala City. The beaches are full of interesting but awkward steep angles due to the strength of the pounding surf. The ocean floor here drops off very steeply after only 20- 40 feet, making the undertow here very strong; only strong swimmers should venture out very far. The beach is 50 - 80 feet wide and stretches for miles.
Dinner is Served - Adult female Belted Kingfisher with prey. Not sure exactly what the fish was, but looked like some sort of sunfish. The heavy rains and flooding have caused the river to swell, and the kingfishers were enjoying good hunting. A tight crop, but my first prey shot with this species.

Cadillac Place, formerly the General Motors Building, is a landmark high-rise office complex located at 3044 West Grand Boulevard in the New Center area of Detroit, Michigan. It was renamed for the French founder of Detroit, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac
The ornate class-A office building was constructed of steel, limestone, granite, and marble between 1919 and 1923
In 2001 GM moved the last of its employees into the Renaissance Center on the Detroit River.[7] In 1999, General Motors transferred the property to New Center Development, Inc., a non-profit venture controlled by TrizecHahn Office Properties which acted as developer and began renovation on the upper floors which GM vacated in 2000.[8] The Annex was constructed shortly after the main building, and in the 1940s, it was connected to the adjacent Argonaut Building with a pedestrian bridge on the fourth floor. A parking structure was constructed to the east across Cass Avenue and also connected with a pedestrian bridge. A third bridge was constructed across Grand Boulevard in the early 1980s, to connect the building with New Center One and the St. Regis Hotel.
Government of Michigan—Cadillac Place[edit]
The building now houses several Government of Michigan agencies under a 20-year lease agreement approved in 1998. At the end of the lease, the State has the option to purchase the structure for $1.[9] The building's 2002 renovation to house State offices was one of the nation's largest historic renovation projects.
Upon completion it was renamed Cadillac Place as a tribute to Detroit's founder, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac.
Cadillac Place currently houses over 2,000 State employees including the Michigan Court of Appeals for District I. The building's former executive office suite serves as the Detroit office for Michigan's governor and attorney general, and several Justices of the Michigan Supreme Court have offices in the building.
Apparently, the first time these two aircraft types have ever been displayed together. In the foreground, the red de Havilland DH.88 Comet, a 1934 racing aircraft that won the England to Australia air-race in that year. Behind, the DH100 Venom, the first single-engined jet aircraft to serve with the RAF - thousands were built, and they were widely exported.
Maybe surprisingly, both aircraft are substantially made of wood. The Comet is almost entirely wooden, apart from the engines, undercarriage etc, and the Venom's cockpit nacelle is also made of wood. (The wings, tail and jet engine mounting are made from metal.)
The de Havilland company was expert in fabricating strong and light aero-structures, including complex double curvatures, from wood - often balsa sandwiched between plywood. The DH.98 Mosquito is probably their best known product.
The Vampire design dates from 1943, just 11 years after the Comet. It could fly at well over 500mph and entered service a few months after the end of the war. Over 3,200 Vampires were built, and many survive in flying condition today. This one is beautifully presented by the Royal Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
The Comet, as a type, had a somewhat less successful career. Apart from winning the race, it was little use for much else, and only a handful were ever built. G-ACSS 'Grosvenor House' is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection, based at Old Warden aerodrome in England, where the two aircraft are seen in the picture.

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

Isa Khan Niyazi was an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals. His octagonal tomb, constructed in 1574, is positioned within an octagonal garden, which was built during his own lifetime and the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah. It later served as a burial place for the entire family of Isa Khan. On the western side of the tomb lies a three-bay wide mosque, in red sandstone. The octagonal tomb bears a striking resemblance to other tombs of the Sur dynasty monuments in the Lodhi Gardens, in Delhi and demonstrates a marked progression in the development of the exquisite architectural style of the main tomb. Some of the architectural details present here were seen later in the main Humayun's tomb, though on a much grander scale, such as the tomb being placed in a walled garden enclosure.
