Task 1 (sketch in 2 minutes): I totally miscalculated the time and thought I had plenty of time and knowledge (having seen Liz draw the building) to look and draw details instead of focusing on the main structure and windows first. Because it looked so unfinished after the 2 minutes, I added the important parts with pencil.
Task 2 (more detailed sketch using the 7 steps): Great fun thinking about the steps even though I have to admit that I forgot about them half way through the sketch, but then noticing, that I had applied that sequence anyway.
It's day 2 of vignweek, and the prompt is "Rescue." I'm of course continuing the Harry Potter theme with my take on the second task of the Triwizard Tournament!
Peering down into that vast cavern of goodness, this little chipmunk must have been calculating how many trips it was going to take to empty this thing out.
And - it was probably wondering how to accomplish all that before that other chippy (coming in from the left) did the same exact thing!!!
With plenty of whole nuts for stashing away, our Backyard Harvest Fest is held each year in the hopes of helping our backyard visitors prepare for the upcoming winter months.

The clock is installed in a Renaissance arch crossing the Rue du Gros-Horloge. The mechanism is one of the oldest in France, the movement was made in 1389. Construction of the clock was started by Jourdain del Leche who lacked the necessary expertise to finish the task, so the work was completed by Jean de Felain, who became the first to hold the position of governor of the clock.
The clock was originally constructed without a dial, with one revolution of the hour-hand representing twenty-four hours. The movement is cast in wrought iron, and at approximately twice the size of the Wells Cathedral clock, it is perhaps the largest such mechanism still extant.[1] A facade was added in 1529 when the clock was moved to its current position. The mechanism was electrified in the 1920s and it was restored in 1997.
The Renaissance facade represents a golden sun with 24 rays on a starry blue background. The dial measures 2.5 metres in diameter. The phases of the moon are shown in the oculus of the upper part of the dial. It completes a full rotation in 29 days. The week days are shown in an opening at the base of the dial with allegorical subjects for each day of the week. (Wikipedia)

One last Andrena sp. for now, this one on eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis). This is presumably a different species from the previous two images, but identifying Anderna to species is a daunting task and I haven't made a real effort to try and figure these out.

Our task must be to free ourselves … by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

You cannot share your life with a dog … or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
Jane Goodall
Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful, beautiful day. Be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Oystercatchers always look happy to me, especially when they have just found a mussel.
I was able to climb down the rocks on the jetty to get this shot more at eye level - not an easy task on the del Rey jetty.

Mostly built to make use of those R2D2 droid legs that I love but can never find a good use for.
Like most parents, Common Loons (Gavia immer) with chicks master the art of multi-tasking their own needs with those of their offspring. This adult is fishing for growing chicks and bringing back prey for supper but also had a need to strech out, too, hence the flapping while fishing. Taken in Lincoln County on June 24, 2016.
Quenching your thirst is a necessity but for some creatures it is a time when they are most vulnerable.

To me, it's an incredible sight to witness a soaring osprey overhead. They fly so effortlessly and with such purpose ... whether flying to catch their dinner, bring back some nesting material, protect their nesting zone, or simply play in the air ... it's quite the sight to see. The detail in the feathers always mesmerizes me, but I come out of that trance quickly when I hear their easily identifiable call ... another favorite sound of mine.
In Florida, we are privileged to have these osprey residents among us, so they're never really far away. In the winter and spring though, they congregate for their breeding season. Always a great adventure. :-)
Happy Monday everyone! May your week soar by, just like this adult osprey.
Thanks for stopping by to view.

Today I brought my camera and drone with me to the usual Monday thesis consultation.
The intention was to make use of the sunny weather and catch the 4th Škoda 380 locomotive in its decorative livery after the meeting.
Well, just minutes after my arrival at the spot in Zebegény, the sun dipped behind the building cloud coverage, and the 33-minute late Eurocity train passed in front of me just as I was about to take off with my drone. Great!
As I had a bunch of time until the next train to head home with, plenty of battery time, and cloud coverage that allowed me to get a rarely seen angle of the 7-arched viaduct, I waited for the next passenger service heading to Szob to capture this snap with the 21st out of 40 Stadler KISS units of MÁV-START.
