Artic terns are mean - they try to kill you if you go too near them...
And it's not that easy to get a decent focus and framing when you are looking though the viewfinder straight up in the air and terns trying to attack you from all sides...

Gill and Slo Mo are playing some sports while the girls are watching. It's worth to note that if the bench will collapse if only one doll is on the back. It was still pretty fragile.

Every once in a while I see this event take place.
This time my camera was nearby.
Taken from my deck.
A sight to behold.

The siege had lasted six weeks, yet the defence had not fallen. During a final, desperate attempt to take the citadel, the Falcon army launced a surprise attack on the almost undefended West Gate...

I'd mentioned my drone was attacked by a raptor while I was flying in Utah. Here's an unedited video of what happened. It was basically a sneak attack. I have heard raptors are very aggressive - it took me for a spin and took a couple of pieces out of my drone. Not extremely exciting, except from the pilot's point of view, as in, what the heck is happening! Luckily, the raptor decided not to fly away with it (I've seen YouTube videos where that's happened).
Hurricane Mesa is a deserted Air Force test base. They have a long rail there where they shot jets off the cliff to test parachutes. That's a whole 'nother story. :)

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園 Hiroshima Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is a memorial park in the center of Hiroshima, Japan. It is dedicated to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack, and to the memories of the bomb's direct and indirect victims (of whom there may have been as many as 140,000). The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is visited by thousands of people each year. The park is there in memory of the victims of the nuclear attack on August 6, 1945. On August 6, 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was planned and designed by the Japanese Architect Kenzō Tange at Tange Lab.
The location of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was once the city’s busiest downtown commercial and residential district. The park was built on an open field that was created by the explosion. Today there are a number of memorials and monuments, museums, and lecture halls, which draw over a million visitors annually. The annual 6 August Peace Memorial Ceremony, which is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima, is also held in the park. The purpose of the Peace Memorial Park is to not only memorialize the victims, but also to establish the memory of nuclear horrors and advocate world peace.
The A-Bomb Dome is the skeletal ruins of the former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. It is the building closest to the hypocentre of the nuclear bomb that remained at least partially standing. It was left how it was after the bombing in memory of the casualties. The A-Bomb Dome, to which a sense of sacredness and transcendence has been attributed, is situated in a distant ceremonial view that is visible from the Peace Memorial Park’s central cenotaph. It is an officially designated site of memory for the nation’s and humanity’s collectively shared heritage of catastrophe. The A-Bomb Dome was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on December 7, 1996. Many A-Bomb survivors and Hiroshima citizens were pushing for the A-Bomb Dome to be registered as a World Heritage Site as it was "a symbol of horror and nuclear weapons and humankind's pledge for peace." This collective petition from many citizens groups was finally given influence when the Japanese government officially recommended the dome to the World Heritage Site committee in December 1995.
'It is a necessary element in a universe that while it constantly supports us is nevertheless attacking and threatening us without a moments respite.'

I am a pretender hunkered down in a maelstrom behind a facade of technical gear. Outside: A shrieking chorale of wild bristlecones on a Serengeti of stone. A sonic and percussive primordial wind, the lion does not sleep.
The bristlecone voices are of epic confidence and endurance. Taunting chorus after chorus of millennial defiance; of standing their ground. Of having withstood the worst that any two or three or more millennia had to offer.
Boughs barely rippling; figurative fuzz on a tennis ball. Smaller trees soulful, shrill. Larger trees rumbling like raging water pouring over a precipice. Theirs is the most elemental of sounds; that of the flowing ethereal deformed by immutable matter.
There is nothing extraneous about the shape of an ancient bristlecone. Every pliant, probing, shapeshifting growth tip has been aerodynamically pruned and tuned through howling millennia to match the precise location and microclimate of each tree. Branches do not break off. Finding a branch lying on the ground after even the fiercest of storms would be akin to finding the wingtip of a Concorde.
Inside, swaddled in bird feathers, I watch an Oort cloud of sliding snowflakes accumulate on the embossed logo of the tent’s leeward panel. The skittering flakes build and shift, forming faces and figures and mountains that slide away only to form again and again. Nature speaks (if at all) in relentless metaphor.
Hours later: Ice crystal stars and a serene slumbering face immersed in cumulus above the logo peaks as the wind begins to fade with oncoming night...And I remember again why I pretend.

Savanah has been doing this a lot lately. She thinks it is hysterical. The more I tell her to back off so I can focus the more she laughs. She is so my daughter! LOL

Twin rotating gun mounts and a pair of vector guidance pods makes a Xylem attack craft a highly destructive, highly manoeuvrable force to be reckoned with!
I was given a bundle of mixed parts for Christmas which had 3 lime green mud guards in, so I thought ‘now what can I do with these?’ Wasn't sure if I would have time for this second entry but luckily I finished it in the nick of time :D
