Xenophora chinensis (Philippi, 1841) - fragment carrier snail. (apical view) (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA)
This species is also known as Stellaria chinensis.
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.
The xenophorid snails (a.k.a. carrier snails), especially those in the genus Xenophora, are remarkable for their tendency to pick up other shells, skeletal fragments, rocks, or corals (sometimes still alive) from their surrounding environment and cement these objects to their own shells. The result looks like a pile of shells on the seafloor. Often, sponges and serpulid worm tubes are found encrusting the xenophorid shell - they contribute to the illusion that a xenophorid is simply a patch of seafloor. Xenophora carrier snails do this as a camouflage defense against predators. Decorator crabs are arthropods that engage in similar camouflage behavior (storage.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520x260/d...).
Xenophorids are principally detritivores and occur on unconsolidated, fine-grained to coarse-grained to rubbly substrates.
From museum signage: "The worldwide family of carrier-shells has for millions of years had a natural habit of attaching other shells and small objects to themselves. The family name, Xenophoridae, means "bearer" (phora) of "foreigners" (xeno). Of the 20 known living species, three live in the Caribbean Province, one in the Mediterranean, one in West Africa, and the remaining 15 in the Indo-Pacific oceans. Carrier shells will attach nearly any object within their reach. A choice of size and orientation is deliberately made. Only dead bivalves are selected and are always glued with the concave side up. Dead gastropods are always glued at the smaller, pointed end. A carrier-shell may take an hour to move an object into position with its proboscis. As many as 10 hours are taken to secrete enough new shell material to successfully "glue on" the new item."

Otherwise known as a male Figbird (Sphecotheres viridis). Figbirds are part of a worldwide family that includes the orioles, of which Australia has two other members (the Yellow and Olive-backed Orioles). Males have bare, red skin around the eye, contrasting against a black crown and grey neck and throat. The remainder of the body is olive-green, except for a white under-tail area. Females have grey skin around the eye and lack distinctive head markings. They are brown-green above and dull-white below, streaked with brown. Both sexes have a blackish bill. There are two distinct colour forms of the males of this species. Males north of Proserpine in Queensland have a yellow front. This was taken on the Sunshine Coast and so no yellow front.
Unsurprisingly, the Figbird feeds on fig and other fruits, berries, and insects. This one has been visiting my backyard daily, sitting in the lemon tree while selecting its blueberry meal then flies down to pick the blueberry before returning to the tree to swallow it.

Decorator crabs are arthropods that engage in similar camouflage behavior (storage.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520x260/d...).
Xenophorids are principally detritivores and occur on unconsolidated, fine-grained to coarse-grained to rubbly substrates.
From museum signage: "The worldwide family of carrier-shells has for millions of years had a natural habit of attaching other shells and small objects to themselves. The family name, Xenophoridae, means "bearer" (phora) of "foreigners" (xeno). Of the 20 known living species, three live in the Caribbean Province, one in the Mediterranean, one in West Africa, and the remaining 15 in the Indo-Pacific oceans. Carrier shells will attach nearly any object within their reach. A choice of size and orientation is deliberately made. Only dead bivalves are selected and are always glued with the concave side up. Dead gastropods are always glued at the smaller, pointed end. A carrier-shell may take an hour to move an object into position with its proboscis. As many as 10 hours are taken to secrete enough new shell material to successfully "glue on" the new item. Whether for camouflage or for strengthening the edge of the shell, the carrier-shells produce projections."
Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Xenophoroidea, Xenophoridae

Yes thats right!
LOVE your flickr friends and family.
We have all met and united. There is a reason. We laugh and often sob with each other...but..we are...a wonderful worldwide family.
As you can see I am really bouncing back in good health like I never imagined! From September 09 until last month life was not funny and now....HELLO WORLD!
"I`m BACK!!!! and I`m STAYING!!!!!"
Seen here with one of my most beautiful and best friends in the world: Sandy.
If I hadnt have been Gay ...we would have married.....
We love each other dearly. She lives in a remote part of Wales on top of a mountain where she does telephone readings. But now its time for Sandy to recharge her batteries a bit so do send her some love please. She tries to give her best to others, always positive...but..like with us all....it is Sandy who needs some energy.
We met many years ago, I read for her...and that was it. Instant friendship!
She has been a great inspiration to me over the last 15 years, so much that I wrote a book with her as the main character called Cassandra Charmiene Ohpide...as a woman who is the "High Priestess of the Silver Star". One day...one day a publisher will magically appear and this novel....good versus evil and with her Guide, Merlin....will be in print. This fairytale is of good and bad....werewolves and killings, twin boys...good and of evil. Love and Betrayal...
So who wins? Does it have a happy ending or will it be continued?
Or is it "Love at First Bite?"
Whatever....heres to todays "Thought for Today":
Love your flickr friends and family OXO
(Oh and Henry.watch this space...........)

On Aug. 23, 2014, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz's emergency services directorate held it's National Night Out event, together with the USO Sun and Fun event, at Pulaski Park, on Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Begun in 1984, National Night Out is a community-police awareness-raising event. It now involves over 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.
Families had the opportunity to learning about fighting crime and what they can do support local law enforcement. There were working dog demonstrations, child ID kits, crime prevention programs and activity tables. The best part, young people got a chance to meet military police and garrison firefighters, plus Sparky the Fire Dog and Daren the Lion.

Xenophora longleyi (Born, 1780) - fossil Atlantic carrier snail from the Pliocene of Florida, USA. (~apertural view) (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA)
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.
The xenophorid snails (a.k.a. carrier snails), especially those in the genus Xenophora, are remarkable for their tendency to pick up other shells, skeletal fragments, rocks, or corals (sometimes still alive) from their surrounding environment and cement these objects to their own shells. The result looks like a pile of shells on the seafloor. Often, sponges and serpulid worm tubes are found encrusting the xenophorid shell - they contribute to the illusion that a xenophorid is simply a patch of seafloor. Xenophora carrier snails do this as a camouflage defense against predators. Decorator crabs are arthropods that engage in similar camouflage behavior (storage.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520x260/d...).
Xenophorids are principally detritivores and occur on unconsolidated, fine-grained to coarse-grained to rubbly substrates.

Dead gastropods are always glued at the smaller, pointed end. A carrier-shell may take an hour to move an object into position with its proboscis. As many as 10 hours are taken to secrete enough new shell material to successfully "glue on" the new item."
Most of the shells that were originally attached to the fossil Atlantic carrier snail shown above have become detached, probably during a burial-producing storm event during the Pliocene.

Mary Ellen and I were out for a walk on the Freycinet peninsula when we spotted another couple - they were a pair of oystercatchers, out finding dinner and guarding their nest.

Tall Trees (also Pure) Nightclub
52 Tolcarne Road
Coming into Newquay on the East side, Blaze Church is sited at the junction of Tolcarne and Holywell Road
Blaze Church was planted into Newquay in 2001 and was originally started in a front room of a house. Blaze Church is part of the Newfrontiers family of churches.
Newfrontiers is a worldwide family of churches together on a mission to establish the Kingdom of God, by restoring the church, making followers of Jesus, training leaders, and planting churches.
The Church then met regularly at the Tall Trees (Pure) Nightclub on Tolcarne Road. In 2020 the church is not running, and it is not clear if it still located in this building which is the old night club building.

And all my Concert Pictures can be seen on : musicfromthepit
New Jersey's Dalek play an awesome live show at the Future Sounds of Hip-Hop night for Massive Attack's Meltdown festival.
It seems apt that the longer exposure turns the lights in to an original Dalekesque death ray! (Dr Who on the BBC for our worldwide family who may be in the dark as to who the Daleks are)
So I did get a picture in the end Mr Jobsworth security guard!
Royal Festival Hall, 19/06/2008
November Week 1 - Family
Usually I prefer to read and create my art in silence, but once I heard Come People of the Risen King, on the list of suggested music, I just kept it playing over and over whilst I created!
These are the lyrics:
Come, people of the Risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.
REFRAIN
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!
Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.
Come, young and old from every land -
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands -
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing -
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”!
Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart Townend
That's the feeling I was trying to capture in my piece - a worldwide family, a family of all creation. Blessings falling from God onto and around all of us, if we could but see them sometimes! And that definitely applies to me, especially over the past few months.
I'm now going to start a gratitude journal...even if it's just a list with no art as such...I want to keep it with me and ensure I remember the things that are often so fleeting. I think this will be good preparation for Advent especially. I don't want to get bogged down in all the 'hard' stuff that's around, but concentrate on what's really important! I think this rewind prompt came at the perfect time for me!
This feeling of a need to make almost a new start, a more positive way forward, maybe that's why this piece feels a bit less gentle and more forceful that my other recent pieces! The texture images I used, one of them was quite hard and dramatic and I almost did away with it and tried to recreate what it added to the piece in my own way, more gentle, softer strokes. But it just didn't sit right, so I put the piece back to the way I'd had it originally. Not sure it's one of my favourites lol, but it really did want out and onto the 'canvas'!
Various textures and brushes used plus one of the HKC Praise Him Digital Images.
