our tallest beer glass stack to date down our local - don't really think we are going to get away with this one again! Something like 30 glasses in that stack - and I didnt drink one!! ('cos it was more than that!)
Exoneura species, Two-tone Reed Bee, specimen collected in Australia
Long:
Reed Bees are found only on the continent of Australia and it is likely that most of the 41 species nest in the pithy centers of plant stems, similar to the Small Carpenter Bees (Ceratina). These bees have a unique method of childcare: rather than constructing individual cells for their young, they dispense with internal walls and make a crèche. They excavate the pith in the stem, add pollen and nectar, and then lay eggs over time. Thus, within a nest there can be bee juveniles at all stages of development, from egg to adult sometimes several adults. These groups of females can all be reproductive but often just the dominant female produces eggs. This dominant female can produce pheromones that keep the ovaries of subdominant females from developing. The home life of these bees is complex but flexible such that working positions within the colony and reproduction can change with the seasons and availability of pollen and nectar. Perhaps because all the larvae are together within the nest burrow rather than in their own individual little rooms, their morphology is more complex and variable than is the case for larvae of other bees. Most bee larvae are simple grubs lacking legs and mostly bald. Reed bee infants often have fleshy lobes and interesting hair patterns on their bodies, some even looking as if they have a Beatle’s moptop cut.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
-- Emily Dickinson

Gone, this was for photographic purposes before I went and got rid of it all this morning. *heavy sigh* A few twenties with a lot of stuff below :)
I must say I listen to music whenever I can and in fact I still have a few of my old CDs lying around!

Messing around with focus stacking in Photoshop (manually). This is from four photos. It looks like it's going to take some practice...

Former Adirondack Power and Light plant at Amsterdam, NY on the Erie Canal just upstream of lock E10. The canal follows the Mohawk River here.
As a teen, I traveled the Erie Canal and was fascinated by this plant as we passed on the boat. That was in the late 70's and it was not in use then ether. The 1923 edition of Babcock & Wilcox "Steam, Its Generation and Use" shows an earlier version of the plant consisting of 2 stacks and ending at the third window from the water intake house.
Photographed using a NIkon f with a Nikkor 80-400 VR lens (no, the VR does not work on the F :) Exposure by sunny 16.

Looking at the books during a party held the day before the grand (general public) opening of the Minneapolis Public Library. This party was for the Friends of the Library -- people who donated money toward the project. Man! What a great party! Drinks, food, live music. It was a fantastic evening.
