Colorful Red Admiral butterfly taking nectar from a super-sweet Dogbane floret during a stiff breeze.
An common early Spring migrant that takes up residence near open fields that contain lots of nettles, its host plant. Once established, it produces several broods over the season. Its numbers fluctuate from year to year with this year being more than last year.
If you have any association with the US military you may be familiar with the Commander's Coin. A tradition in the Army, commanders at the battalion and higher levels can give out "Commander's Coins" as awards for excellence. The "coin" is traditionally passed to the recipient via a hand shake and always your picture is taken, ALWAYS. If you think I'm kidding try a search on "Commander's Coin" here on flickr. With a career that spanned almost 40 years, I somehow managed to accomplish some good things and acquired a nice collection of these coins. Most of the coins are round, this is one of the few that is odd shaped. It measures 2 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches tall.
FYI: I have many that I cherish and display but if you go to any pawn shop near a military base they are rather common, sad to think that the memories get pawned with the medals for a good night out.

"Preaching to the choir" was the other phrase that comes to mind when I saw this image.

Logis du commandeur
Le logis est situé à l'est de la cour d'Honneur. C'est un vaste bâtiment constitué de trois niveaux : un rez-de-chaussée, un étage et des combles sous charpente.
Il comprenait un cellier, une cuisine équipée d'une cheminée monumentale, un réfectoire au rez-de-chaussée, et probablement deux dortoirs à l'étage, séparés par une cloison. Deux tours octogonales d'escalier servaient d'accès dans les angles est.
Une grande partie de la maçonnerie date du XIème siècle comme en témoignent les fenêtres gothiques en arc brisé et les murs appareillés mais il a été remanié par les Hospitaliers dans la première moitié du XVe siècle, selon un compte-rendu de visite de 1456. Tout d'abord, le bâtiment a été amputé de sa partie nord (cellier, escalier et cuisine). Les portes et certaines fenêtres d’époque templière bouchées et reconstruites dans le style renaissant. Une tour d'escalier octogonale sur plan carré a été plaquée à la façade ouest, côté cour.
L'ouverture, par les fermiers, d'une porte à l'emplacement des fenêtres à croisillons de pierres fut l'objet des premiers chantiers de restauration réalisés dans les années 1970. Au fond du passage situé entre la Chapelle et le logis une tour octogonale en gros grès abritait l'escalier templier, utilisé pour accéder à l'étage. L'escalier a, en partie, disparu, et la tour a perdu sa partie haute et sa toiture. Le logis, en cours de restauration, souffre d'instabilité et est interdit à la visite.
Ce bâtiment contraste avec les autres en raison de ses maçonneries en rangs alternés de briques et de pierres. L'intérieur présente six pièces qui étaient toutes équipées de cheminées et séparées par des cloisons à pan de bois avec remplissage de briques. La charpente traditionnelle en chêne est constituée de vingt-et-une fermes de chevrons et d'un double sous-faîtage. Cette charpente dont les parties basses sont en mauvais état est en cours de restauration en 2022. Tout le bâtiment a nécessité des étaiements intérieurs comme extérieurs par la pose de tirants métalliques intérieurs et de contrefiche en bois sur la façade est.
Marching angrily towards some insubordinate birds this great-tailed grackle clearly had a mission.
My exposure was all wonky on this shot but I thought it had a high-key dynamic vibe so I posted it.
an uncommon and very localized species. Only my third observation in seven years.

This European Starling looked a bit bossy to me. Starlings were introduced to the United States in the 1890's when an industrialist released about 100 of them in Central Park in New York City. There are now estimated to be about 200 million European Starlings in the U.S. And they reside year round in every one of the 48 contiguous states plus Alaska. I like their iridescence and find them kind of pretty. Though many consider them a pest.
A very worn, but beautiful Commander in Nameri National Park, India. Moduza procris, the Commander, sometimes included in the genus Limenitis, is a medium-sized, strikingly coloured brush-footed butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Meet Spec Ops Commander Hammer Sharks! As you have probably guessed, he is a hammerhead shark that can actually walk and eliminate assigned targets with his harpoon rifle. His special swimsuit with a life support system allows him to stay outside water for hours. Don't let his smile charm you cause it will be the last thing you see before you die!
This is Commander Thorn, he nicknames his gun "The Hammer" as he is based of Thor from the Avengers!

On Saturday at the Air Show the Base Commanders did the Command change ceremony in flight.This I believe is the incoming base commander's jet.
Des peintures templières sont encore visibles au chevet et autour de la clé de voûte du chœur. Elles sont blanches (lait de chaux) ornées d'un trait ocre. Il y a un saint Georges terrassant le Dragon, une scène de l'Annonciation, un Christ en gloire, et quatre anges. Les fresques ont été datées de 1210 par Marc Thibout, conservateur en chef du musée des Monuments français et datent de l'époque des Hospitaliers qui reprirent intégralement le décor de la chapelle en 1485 en y ajoutant des stalles, un nouveau pavage et refaisant tous les vitraux.

20.9.25.
After a 2 week hiatus, I am back. The reason for my inactivity is just pure exhaustion. But I’m back with some filler. Just expect little things like this for the next few weeks.
Anyways, if you know who this character is, then you have earned my respect.
As always, What do you think? Enjoy! :D
