The Star Clipper-Canfield Building’s winding stairway is located in Traer, Iowa. The staircase is thought to be one of a kind in the country and it was featured on a U.S. commemorative stamp. Built in 1888, it was originally a newspaper office.

The Clipper (Parthenos sylvia) is a butterfly found in South and South-East Asia. The wingspan is 70 to 80 mm. The Clipper comes in 33 subspecies and many colour variations of the wings; running from green in India to blue in Malaysia, brown in the Philippines and yellowish in Queensland (Australia).
The subspecies in the picture is Parthenos sylla apicalis from Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The clipper is one of the most photogenic butterfly species, due not only to its beauty, but to the pose its members often strike. Clipper butterflies have a habit of resting or feeding on flower nectar open-winged for long periods of time. The sound and the flash of cameras pass by these models unnoticed, and not an antennae or wing flutters out of place.
This picture is taken in the indoor butterfly garden Passiflorahoeve in Harskamp, the Netherlands.
De klipper (Parthenos Sylvia) is een dagvlinder en wordt gevonden in zuid-en zuidoost-Azië. De clipper komt voor in 33 ondersoorten en even zoveel kleurvariaties van de vleugels; die loopt van groen in India naar blauw in Maleisië, en van bruin in de Filippijnen en tot geelachtig in Queensland (Australië).
De ondersoort op de foto is Parthenos sylla apicalis uit Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodja en Vietnam.
De vleugelspanwijdte varieert tussen de 70 en 80 mm.
De klipper is een van de meest fotogenieke vlindersoorten. Niet alleen door haar schoonheid, maar vooral ook zoals zij zich laat zien. De klippers hebben de gewoonte om te rusten en te eten van de nectar van de bloemen door lange tijd de vleugels zonder te wapperen open te houden. Het eventuele flitslicht en het geluid van de camera’s lijkt onopgemerkt aan deze vlinders voorbij te gaan.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de overdekte tropische vlindertuin van zorgboerderij www.passiflorahoeve.nl/ bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.
Weetje: De naam klipper (clipper) is door Nederlandse zeelieden in de 18e eeuw aan deze vlinders gegeven. De tekening op de vleugels leek volgens de zeelieden op de masten en zeilen van klippers (snelle klassieke zeilschepen).

Parthenos sylvia, the clipper, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in south and southeast Asia, mostly in forested areas. The clipper is a fast-flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapping stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping. Singapore Zoo.

The Stad Amsterdam (City of Amsterdam) is a three-masted clipper that was built in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2000 at the Damen Shipyard.
The ship was designed by Dykstra Naval Architects who modeled her after the mid-19th century frigate Amsterdam, but she is not a replica. A major difference is that the hull is made of steel.

The Ansco Clipper and Flash Clipper were simple non-adjustable cameras made by Agfa Ansco, later Ansco, from the 1930s into the 1950s. The series began as the Agfa Ansco PD16 Clipper, but Agfa branding was dropped during the WWII years. They took 16 images on 616 film. The lens board pulled out of the camera body for taking pictures, and collapsed to make the camera more compact when not in use. The focus and aperture were fixed, while the shutter had I and B settings.
James Baines, a state of the art clipper passenger ship, launched from the East Boston shipyard of the famous ship builder Donald McKay in 1854. This is my restoration and colorization of Australian photographer and maritime painter Allan C. Green´s (1878-1954) photo of his own painting. The original image is in the Victoria State Library archive. The 81 m (LOA) James Baines was a very fast ship - her top speed, 21 kn (39 km/h) was recorded on June 17, 1856.

Prior to the modern nail clipper, people used to utilize small knives to trim or pare their nails. Descriptions of nail trimming in literature date as far back as the 8th century BC. The first United States patent for an improvement in a finger-nail clipper was filed in 1875 by Valentine Fogerty and in the United Kingdom, Hungarian inventor David Gestetner (Wikipedia :-D)
However, you still have your teeth. For me it is a terrible habit but for others it is delicious!... I love diversity, it is fun and awesome!!!

Lantana is a favorite of butterflies, and me. It changes colors as it grows, and draws all sorts of insect pollinators and hummingbirds. This clipper butterfly is visiting a bush at The Butterfly Place sanctuary.
