That's my title cuz I don't have a clue. The artist is V Tessaro, I don't know if this is a reproduction - when I searched "V Tessaro" - Vittorio Tessaro came up and nothing like this showed up in his collection - lots of nude bronze. This figurine is in the hallway of an apartment building I visited a few days ago. Who knows, could be a treasure waiting to be discovered!
Any further information would be appreciated.

Mallard
Anas platyrhynchos
Mallard
Status: Resident, winter migrant from Iceland, Fennoscandia, Russia, Poland, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium & France. Additional captive-bred birds are released each year for hunting.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is regarded as Secure by BirdLife International.
Identification: Among the largest of our ducks (with the exception of Shelduck). Males with striking green head, yellow bill, white ring around the necj, grey underparts, blue speculum, black rump. Females brown in colour, but with blue speculum, dark stripe across the eye and whitish tail sides.
Similar Species: Males are unmistakable. Females and juveniles resemble other female and immature dabbling ducks.
Call: Male with nasal 'rheab', repeated when alert on water, and short whistle during courtship. Loud quacking of females.
Diet: Diet highly variable, and plant material, particularly seeds predominate. A range of animal material is also taken, including molluscs and crustaceans. Other food taken includes grain and stubble, and they have been shown to feed on a variety of food items presented by humans.
Breeding: Nest sites vary, mostly in ground where hidden in vegetation.
Wintering: Mallard are the most widespread species, although not quite as numerous as Wigeon or Teal. They occur in almost all available wetland habitats in Ireland.
Where to See: Common throughout Ireland. Loughs Neagh & Beg in County Antrim, Wexford Harbour & Slobs in County Wexford, Lough Foyle in County Derry, Strangford Lough in County Down and Lough Swilly in County Donegal are among the top wintering sites (1,000-5,500 birds).
Monitored by: Irish Wetland Bird Survey.
Yea, it is alive. Apparently one head can be asleep, and the other awake. A miracle of nature, and I saw it live.
The rematch took place on June 28, 1997 The fight was stopped at the end of the third round, with Tyson disqualified for biting Holyfield on both ears. The first time he bit him the match was temporarily stopped. Referee Mills Lane deducted two points from Tyson and the fight resumed. However, after the match resumed, Tyson did it again: this time Tyson was disqualified and Holyfield won the match. One bite was severe enough to remove a piece of Holyfield’s right ear, which was found on the ring floor after the fight. Tyson later stated that it was retaliation for Holyfield repeatedly head butting him without penalty.

From outside Fort Moultrie, two fifteen-inch (380 mm) Rodman guns.
Fort Moultrie is a brick coastal defense fort completed in 1809 to guard the entrance to Charleston Harbor. It's the third fort built at this location. The first was a wooden fort which decayed and the second fort was destroyed by a hurricane. Fort Moultrie was obsolete by the end of the American Civil War in 1865, but was modernized and retained as a military post until 1947. Now a historical relic and museum. Near Charleston, South Carolina. I visited this place on April 11, 2018.

Two of Pentacles is today's Group Creative Experiment card.
This card is not like me. I struggle with the balancing act of life, with adapting and going with the flow. I get thrown by changes to my routine and have hard time taking time to play or kicking back...
but I DO write on myself with markers. So here: two new pentacle eyes. To help lend a different view, perspective (learn a few new skills?)

A snazzy ensemble, before going out for a birthday dinner. Mine (not the legs!). Sunday 25th November.
Two interesting gentlemen were along on Yankee Lady. The man on the right is Mr. Rodman, he was a B17 pilot during WWII and flew 35 missions with a bomb group I can't remember. He was thrilled to be able to do this and said his family bought him the ride. When I asked him if he was going up to the cockpit, he said he was not able to move about the plane but said he knew what the cockpit looked like!
The other man was from Holland and said he remembered the bombers flying over enroute to their targets.
It's men like this that make these flights worth it.
