I thought I'd managed to capture a shot looking upstream from Rotherhithe towards Tower Bridge, without any distracting birds that were flying around in the shot.

There was a gull in the sky which I managed to remove using the Healing tool in the excellent Snapseed app, but look closely towards the bottom of The Shard and a feathered friend can be seen, of which I was unable to do anything about.

This treehopper was filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador and measures only 6 mm in length. Treehoppers are insects related to cicadas and leafhoppers.

Most treehoppers have a highly modified pronotum on the back, in this case forming several hollow spheres and spines, which makes it unpalatable for potential predators. Moreover it resembles an ant which most predators rather avoid.

Treehoppers feed on plant sap which is rich in sugar. In the video the sucking mouthparts of the treehopper have penetrated the vein of a leaf.

She was so stunning I decided not to photoshop this at all so people don't think it's fake because of any effects :)

Photographed during the Night Photo Session of the 2023 Winter Spectacular. East Broad Top 2-8-2 #16 sits on the turntable by the roundhouse and a crew observes the locomotive as it steams into the night time air. Who would have thought in just over three years the EBT would again see steam and life back to an almost forgotten railroad.

Meerkat at Belfast Zoo. Found this little critter lurking in the files so thought he deserved a viewing :-)

Watching Better Here

I've been putting out peanuts for the squirrels and Ruffy is moaning and groaning to go out to scare them away from HER fence!! I'll let her out after the squirrels are done eating. ;-)

Miss Roxy having a chill Saturday afternoon watching a light rain falling while sitting out on the porch. Today is a good day to practice using my wireless connection between my camera and my iPhone. Tomorrow we will be going to see how the construction is going at the new house. We hit a snag on the original house. Seems there was an adverse encroachment on our property by a fence from the farmers land behind us. The builder said he was not going to resolve the situation. After some back and forth and our attorney’s involvement, they cancelled our contract with a full refund of all monies invested. It took a couple of weeks but we found what we think is an even better location, a larger lot that is better and a floor plan with a lot more features we like. The delay is a hassle but it will be worth it. If the weather and supply chain hold up we hope to close and move in in about another 8 to 10 weeks. Hope to get some decent photos to post tomorrow. We have also found a great Aussie breeder here in Georgia and look forward to the possibility of a little brother (or sister maybe) for Roxy after we get in the new place.

I am the watcher of the walls. I pledge my life and honor to the Wall's Watch, for this day and all the days to come.

First morning after descending from Mount Kinabalu. Did a long exposure of the fog sweeping in, if look closely, you can see the light rays between the trees!

Thanks Nora for arranging the accommodation here for us, beautiful place to watch the clouds and Mount Kinabalu.

A young male lion during a night safari at the Masai Mara. He and his brothers were laying down in the grass. As he saw our jeep he was immediately awake and observed us. Such an intimate experience.

Ever feel like you were being watched...run ladies run; lol!!!

City of London.

Very nicely styled after an original antique pocket watch, with a mechanical 17-jewel movement, and all for US$12.34 (though I had to open and adjust for better accuracy). Now it keeps within about 15 sec (per day) of the right time, which is good for any mechanical watch.
