Colibrí Picoespada
Sword-billed Hummingbird
Ensifera ensifera
Macho / Male
Su pico tiene casi la misma longitud que su cuerpo, lo que lo convierte en el ave que posee el pico más largo en el mundo.
Made by Domenico SUTRIO. Pope Julius II sent this sword to Vladislaus II in 1509, Hungarian National Museum.
Unmistakable. This ridiculous hummingbird has the longest bill in relation to its body size of any bird in the world. In addition to the striking bill, look for the overall muted green body color with a bronzy head. Found in the temperate zone of the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia, from around 2,500m to 3,500m. Occurs in montane forest and edges, where it uses its bill to feed from long tubular flowers.
This one was photographed in Colombia guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
Ashes Divide "Sword"

Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons you
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...
To silence you
But I'm a waste in your eyes.
You say you don't need me to save you tonight.
But I need to save you tonight.
I'm standing alone on the brink of a stone
Trying to humanise the enemy inside of you
We're cut from the same cloth but we are
Stained with the poison of pride
We're sucking the life from the whole of the world
Can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place that's a violent resolve
To the end they will try
And silence you.
'cause we're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight.
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing your reason that poisons you
Of all your fear, love, anymore??
Let pride come before a fall
I wish you could see and leave for something more
Than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
They will know our needs and we won't be ignored
So that we may see some light
Don't let them silence you
'cause you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you...
I need tonight...

Zuro Loma Reserve, Ecuador - Definitely one of my favorite birds from the trip and a really cool Hummingbird.
curved sword

It was his sword that held fast in the rocks where he lay. For many years Aluna tried to remove it but failed, with anguish and tears. The day it moved was the day she had resolved not to try anymore⚔️

There are women who have developed a passion for swords due to the influence of an online game. It seems that such people traveled from far away to visit a special exhibition on Japanese swords at the museum in this town. The emotional exhibition featured the reunion of the famous sword "Honaku Nagayoshi" and the renowned sword "Kunihiro," which was crafted based on it, for the first time in 435 years.

These are the swords we built for BW this year. They were inspired both by Sean's epic sword and the wing piece. :) It was rather fun playing with the handle in order to fill up all the holes but it came at the expense of stability (and several other builds I wanted to build xP). In the end you can only hold this sword in one way or it'll break in half. xD
I don't know anything about this piece or the symbol on it other than it fits the Macro Mondays "star" theme. It has two threaded bolts on the back so it appears to have originally been attached to a vehicle or equipment of some sort.
UPDATE: I've been told that this is a Shriners emblem.
The Haleakalā silversword, has numerous sword-like succulent leaves covered with silver hairs. Silversword plants in general grow on volcanic cinder, a dry, rocky substrate that is subject to freezing temperatures and high winds. The skin and hairs are strong enough to resist the wind and freezing temperature of this altitude and protect the plant from dehydration and the sun.
The plant's base of leaves, arranged in a spherical formation at ground level of the plant, dominates for the majority of the plant's life—which may be greater than 50 years. The leaves are arranged so that they and the hairs of the leaves can raise the temperature of the shoot-tip leaves up to 20 °C (36 °F), thereby having adapted to the extreme high-altitude temperatures by focusing the sunlight to converge at this point and warm the plant.

I carved and filed this sword out of a Brickarms Rust sprue, which is a swirl of Dark Orange and Gunmetal.
The axe head right above it is normally-molded Brickarms Rust. The sword bears starkly different swirl patterns because it was cut out of already-swirled material. Check out the symmetry on the pommel! The grip is from a lathed reddish brown sprue.
Type XIV swords were popular around 1270 - 1340 in Europe. This page was one of my starting reference sources: MyArmoury Type XIV
The blade and crossguard are a single piece, which had to be carved very carefully out of the "t" shape of the sprue. If I had been another millimeter off, an air bubble would have ruined the project. The pommel is a cross-section of the top of the "t." I'm happy with how this formed and polished up!
