Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
This Green Shield bug was spotted wandering around on my windowsill a while ago. After having his photo taken he was released into the garden.
Two different variants of of Shield Bugs, getting used to photographing from a chair, can only improve.
CSX L422 splits the B&O-era intermediates in the community of Shields, Indiana hauling two centerbeams back to North Vernon.
I have to be very careful picking spinach leaves. One at a time is essential and each leaf has to be examined front and back. Snails, spiders, wasps and shield bugs all inhabit the spinach bed and concentration is required to avoid an invertebrate stew.

Torah shield (Torah breastplate) is a shield that in a synagogue is suspended by chains over the front of the Torah. It is usually ornately decorated with embossing to depict symbolic motifs, such as the two columns reminescent of the columns of the Temple of Jerusalem, the Tablet of the Ten Commandments or the Lion of Judah...
from 1867-1872, old-Wien style..
The water represents a drainage from one lake to another. Very many of the lakes in Manitoba are connected together by, rivers or streams.
These can be used for wilderness canoe trips lasting from several days to weeks. However, sometimes one has to portage canoe and equipment to get from one group of lakes to another. Under these circumstances it pays to travel light.
B&O signal engineer Frank Patenall was on to something when he first implemented the color position light signal back in the early 1920's.
Viewed as an alternative to a semaphore signal, the color position light signal (CPL) used both color lights and position relative to a semaphore blade, to convey an aspect.
104 years later the concept still works.
L452 rolls east at a location known as Shields, Indiana and passes through a set of Mr. Patenall's CPL signals. Though one red light is out the signal still can convey it's aspect, a part of it's grand design.
This section of the B&O received APB (absolute permissive block) signaling in late 1937. After 87 years of service, the signal system is being replaced. The code line, relays and signals will be replaced by solid state electronics and satellite communication, concepts unheard of at one time.
Inspired by some newly acquired shields, I decided to revisit some old themes and figures:
Knights Kingdom II, Islanders, Knights Kingdom I of the Lions and the Bulls, and the Tournament Knight.
Description: Towards the end of the 14th century Vannes became one of the favourite residences of the Dukes of Brittany. The battlements were extended towards the port, doubling the area within the town walls.
Within the town walls many timber-frame houses can be found in the narrow streets surrounding the Cathedral, which was rebuilt from the 15th century onwards. This “wooden town” is complemented by a “stone town” dating from the classical period.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
The kids had spotted this little 'un in the house. Decided to relocate it somewhere more suitable (Apple tree in the garden) and have a go at photographing it
Rhino females’ home ranges vary between 6-20 km2 and usually overlap several males’ territories. White rhino cows are rarely solitary. They associate typically in pairs, usually a female with her latest calf. A juvenile stays with the mother for around three years. White rhinos have a gestation period of approximately 16 months. Records of captive breeding in zoos vary between 480 and 548 days gestation. Females usually give birth for the first time at the age of 6.5-7 years. The interval between calving is 3-4 years.

A shame that I missed the point of focus ...
So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.
This Shield Bug was on my Garlic. It would pause occasionally and let me take a few photos.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
