Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.
Carole King is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Like all crows worldwide the Pied Crow is very much an opportunist. This one and many others like it were more often than not seen around human habitation. In this case it was found around the back of a restaurant, no doubt looking for food left overs.
We only came across one other species of crow on this trip and that was the House Crow. A bird that had been introduced by there British to Zanzibar in 1897. The idea was that the house crows would clean up the waste left by humans. Alas they spread really easily throughout East Africa and are now regarded as an invasive species. In fact I believe that a they have also reached Holland as recently as 1998.

United Kingdom, London, Oxford Circus Tube Station, Winter 2024
The London Underground (also known simply as the Underground or as the Tube) is a rapid transit system serving Greater London and some parts of the adjacent home counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in England. It opened on 10 January 1863 as the world's first underground passenger railway. The network has expanded to 11 lines with 400 km of track with 272 stations and it collectively accommodates up to 5 million passenger journeys a day. The tube is an international icon for London, with the tube map, considered a design classic, having influenced many other transport maps worldwide.

This is my entry for RogueOlympics 2025 Round 2, with the topic "Ups! / Oops!". The RogueOlympics are a build contest by the RogueBricks Community, with each week featuring a new topic and a part limit of just 101 pieces (which I used exactly).
As you can see I chose a rather...literal interpretation of the topic and built the delivery van of a famous parcel service. It's not the most intricate construction but I made sure it's a fully built 4-wide and fits a minifig inside. The words on the side have been added in post-processing.

• Haliotis cracherodii (San Diego, California, USA)
• Distorsio constricta (Laguna, Brazil)
• Trophon geversianus cancellada (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina)

This is the classic view of the Colosseum at the sunrise moment.
We were there during all the blue hour before the sun coming out to wait this precise moment to capture, it was very exciting, because it's like waiting a lot for a quick and short beautiful moment since the sun, once it rose above the horizon, is so fast going entirely up in the air and this all makes a beautiful magical moment hard to catch.

Here's one of my workshop attendees capturing the arch of the Milky Way over the Mittens in Monument Valley in early March 2016.
For those attending my late March 2017 5 night Arches NP Milky Way workshop, I will be bringing everyone to this secret site of mine for their own take of the arch of the Milky Way. In this workshop I include 3 days of 4 hour Photoshop Milky Way post processing sessions so you may see how to bring out the best in your Milky Way photos.
I am taking advanced reservations for a March 2017 workshop here. If interested in getting on the list before it is full, please send me a message. I restrict the workshop to 6 people.
