This is the image of a cranefly vibrating rapidly. It was impossible for me to see this cranefly while it was vibrating. It had its legs attached to grass blades, and with its rapidly moving wings it was able to fly back and forth in a very narrow range, and thus impossible to see. I shot several images hoping I could see it when the image was developed. In this image I can barely see it... I suspect that this is a defense mechanism to avoid predation. I have seen this vibratory behavior in many craneflies.

The hit American boy band Mindless Behavior finished off their first tour of this country with their final concert before returning to America at Enfield Grammar School, as a guest of the Student Council. The band, a massive success in America, with over a million followers on twitter and a huge fan base on You Tube, were in England on a promotional tour.
As part of our links with the local community we invited both students from St Anne’s and Enfield County to attend. The band performed four hits off their debut album that is presently at number seven in the American Album chart, followed by a question and answer session and autograph signing. Over 400 boys and girls from the schools were chosen by their Heads of Year to see the band as a reward to recognise their excellent efforts and behaviour in the last few months.
Well done to everyone who helped organise this event particularly all Grammar Sixth Form prefects who gave up their time to help stage the event.

Why passive aggressive behavior is the perfect office crime
From whispering gossip at the water cooler to evading personal interaction by way of email, today’s typical workplace offers countless opportunities for passive aggressive communication. Passive aggression is a deliberate and masked way ...

Found three Blue Jays lying down on the mulch, if there had been just one I would have thought it was dead or injured. I'm not sure what they were doing. When I approached they flew away.

This year we had a problem with one or more desert woodrats (Neotoma lepida, also known as pack rats, go figure) fooling around under the hood of the Jamboree. After the vehicle sat for many months I finally opened the hood and found the engine compartment stuffed with leaves nibbled off a nearby hedge. The leaves were fresh, so the woodrats had been working not long before I discovered him. The entire air intake was stuffed with leaves, I had to dismantle it to clean it out.
After cleaning up as best I could (the steel crossmember in the foreground is still stuffed with leaves, I can't figure out how to get them out), I came back the next day and the intake was once again stuffed with leaves. The woodrat must have worked all night.
I cleaned it up again and moved the vehicle away from the hedge, and that brought me some peace for a while.
So this weekend I opened the hood and found this: the intake was once again stuffed with leaves, but the woodrat had also collected gravel and stuffed the last couple inches of the intake with rocks, and also left some rocks elsewhere under the hood. Boy, that must have been hard work, carrying each rock in his teeth while climbing up into the engine.
I simply can't imagine why he did it. These woodrats are nest-builders, and I have had problems with them using the insulation from under the hoods of my other cars to build nests on top of the intake manifolds. But while the droppings indicate the woodrats spend a lot of time under the hood of the RV, there is no nest.

To promote forest health and reduce hazardous buildups of brush, branches, and needles that could result in a catastrophic wildfire, the Airport Road South Prescribed Fire was conducted on May 11, 2016, by the BLM Carson City District-Sierra Front Field Office. This photo shows low fire consuming needles, brush, and branches, making more room for the Jeffrey pines to grow and reducing the chances of wildfire.
In a typical divided company -- that is, a company that's organized by division -- behaviors tend toward the territorial. Departments and divisions are territory, to be protected and defended, fostering a culture of competition.
In a connected company, collaborative behaviors need to replace this culture of division. New skills are needed. I've been working with Mike Bonifer, author of GameChangers: Improvisation for Business in the Networked World, to create a framework for 21st-century connected work skills.

I happened upon this Indigo Bunting male who was intent on plucking the pappus from this dandelion and then clutching it with his feet??
Is he feeding his mate? Lining the nest? He was at this for several minutes. I took a series of shots where he would pluck a seed or two and then turn (as here) to place it beneath his foot.

I was playing around with the shutter speed and got a number of shots of Banjo in the dog playground near Castro. He and this white dog really demonstrated some dominance behavior. They look like they're having fun.
If I closed my eyes, they sounded like any other group of twelve year olds. The conversation was frenetic, bouncy, and an overall mess. But to anyone who’s eyes were open, those boys stuck out on Magnificent Mile with their plain Orthodox formalwear and their matching black hats. Perhaps because they stopped to gawk at the window display of lingerie, I now have evidence that adolescent boys everywhere are cut from the same cloth.
With street photography there’s no shame in shooting on “P” mode. Basically, “P” mode is similar to Auto but more advanced and without the impulse to trigger the flash. In the fast-changing environment of street photography, sometimes you don’t have the luxury to play with exposure settings.
