EXPLORE #11. It was singing so loudly, when my husband caught it and brought it to me! We admired that singer of the nature and then let it go.
Pacific Islanders have a strong tradition in singing often singing in harmony by ear. This singer is a second generation Kiwi but keeps up the tradition with a powerful pure voice. White Sunday is an important day for children in Pacific Island churches.
PS. I wonder if you can help me get to 8M views? I've been stuck at 7.9 for a while. To help I've started making an album of photos that made it to Explore (the last album in my list) Sorry about blatant promotion.
This was a "first" for me. I heard this bird singing before I locate it and thought at first that a mockingbird was in the area due to the changing songs being sung. These Thrashers are said to have a repertoire that has more than a 1000 different songs.

"La paternidad de la Singer le llegó a Isaac Merrit por casualidad. Fue el empresario (y a la postre su socio Edward Clark) quien, en 1850, puso en sus manos una torpe máquina de coser para que la perfeccionara. Once dÃas necesitó Isaac para catapultar a la historia aquel primitivo artilugio. Haciendo que la aguja se moviera de forma vertical solucionó el principal problema (los hilos se enredaban). Su prototipo, para uso industrial, daba 200 puntadas por minuto, siete veces más que la mano humana.
Un año después, reunÃa 40 dólares para registrar su invento; al poco, vendÃa su primera máquina por 100, y en 1858, el ambicioso Singer desarrollaba la primera máquina de coser doméstica. Sin embargo el éxito económico no llegó pronto. Los hogares norteamericanos le cerraron las puertas porque los maridos que eran quienes decidÃan en qué se gastaba el dinero no veÃan necesario invertir en una máquina extravagante, máxime cuando su mujer y su madre cosÃan la ropa gratis. Singer no cejó en su empeño de popularizar su criatura y, convertido en un showman, recorrió todo el paÃs pedaleando en su máquina de coser y cantando las excelencias de la Singer.
Que en 1860 fuera ya el mayor fabricantes de máquinas de coser en el mundo, se debió, en gran parte, a su pericia como estratega de las ventas. De hecho, para muchos inventó el marketing. «Compre ahora y pague después», es una frase marca de la casa Singer.Isaac Merrit introdujo la financiación en cómodos plazos mensuales y la figura del vendedor que, armado de labia, visitaba a las posibles compradoras de puerta en puerta."

While Camping I singed my hand on the fire. Played around with my 35mm Macro and although lighting was poor, got this interesting shot.
Took this one of the lead singer of a local Baltimore band. Used Lightroom preset B and W Flat and worked from there. Worked with the shadows and highlights to clean it up a little bit. Added a vignette on the outside of the frame.
As well as being very successful car makers, Singer made a number of commercial vehicles. This 1931 Singer Van, JU 827, was found in a barn in very poor condition. It was restored by staff at Coventry Transport Museum where it is now on display.
In 1857 the first Singer showroom and headquarters were at 458 Broadway, New York, with 3 manufacturing small plants located around the city. With the original manufacturing plants unable to produce enough sewing machines to satisfy the expanding market, The Singer Company purchased a 32 acre plot of land at Elizabethport, on the outskirts of the town of Elizabeth in New Jersey. In 1872 the Singer Manufacturing Company opened a large purpose built a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. At the time it was aid to have been the largest factory in the world devoted to the manufacture of a single product.

Photo by John, I am taking a close up of the Singer.
The part of this exhibition was the dimming lights, they kept coming and going at random.
I managed one shot! Not sure what this crop is but it really is colourful, the field looks orange, almost like flickering flames, even without the golden light, a lot like this in our area. I prayed it would look to the right into the light but no luck.
