Yep, most associate decoys with hunting and guns. Well we hunt, just with cameras :)
The Bufflehead, at least here, is a super skittish creature. Maybe this will get them closer?

During World War II, the US Army established a training facility named Camp White in the Rogue Valley. The 91st and 96th Infantry divisions trained there before they were deployed overseas. Following the war, the area occupied by the Army became an industrial area. In 1960, it was renamed White City.
The industries in White City were served by the White CIty Terminal, a shortline that used two former Southern Pacific GE 70 tonners for power. I caught them briefly in August 1987. Here, one of the 70 tonners is switching the yard that WCTU used to interchange with SP.
In the twilight of their years, old spies of the Cold War era found themselves grappling with modern technology.
A master of clandestine Morse code, now baffled by the intricacies of sending a simple text message.
These veterans of espionage, once adept at outsmarting the KGB, faced their greatest challenge: surviving the digital age with their dignity intact.

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter. The Typhoon was designed originally as an air superiority fighter[5] and is manufactured by a consortium of Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH. The NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency, representing the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain, manages the project and is the prime customer.
The aircraft's development effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaboration among the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Previously, Germany, Italy and the UK had jointly developed and deployed the Panavia Tornado combat aircraft and desired to collaborate on a new project, with additional participating EU nations. However disagreements over design authority and operational requirements led France to leave the consortium to develop the Dassault Rafale independently. A technology demonstration aircraft, the British Aerospace EAP, first flew on 6 August 1986; a Eurofighter prototype made its maiden flight on 27 March 1994. The aircraft's name, Typhoon, was adopted in September 1998 and the first production contracts were also signed that year.
The sudden end of the Cold War reduced European demand for fighter aircraft and led to debate over the aircraft's cost and work share and protracted the Typhoon's development: the Typhoon entered operational service in 2003 and is now in service with the air forces of Austria, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Kuwait and Qatar have also ordered the aircraft, bringing the procurement total to 623 aircraft as of 2019.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft, designed to be an effective dogfighter in combat. Later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with an increasing number of different armaments and equipment, including Storm Shadow, Brimstone and Marte ER missiles. The Typhoon had its combat debut during the 2011 military intervention in Libya with the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Italian Air Force, performing aerial reconnaissance and ground-strike missions. The type has also taken primary responsibility for air-defence duties for the majority of customer nations.

L'inimaginable rencontre...
Samedi soir, je termine une virée au Domaine Saint-Paul de L'Île-des-Sœurs, je reçois un appel, c'est ma bonne amie photographe animalière Danielle Champagne. Habituellement on se communique par texto, curieux, je réponds. Elle m'annonce qu'elle est à sa demeure et qu'à quelques pieds d'elle, devant sa porte, elle observe à l'instant une Petite nyctale, pratiquement à hauteur de ses yeux, toute dégagée, bien installée dans son bel érable. Incrédule, je ne peux tout de même pas mettre en doute sa vision du moment! J'accours alors chez elle. En sa compagnie et celle de notre ami commun Michel Paquin, nous vivons ce moment unique. Incroyable! Impensable! Justement, pensez-y, déjà d'observer une Petite nyctale toute dégagée à proximité en tout temps, ça rend heureux — pour ne pas dire fou — n'importe quel photographe, la voir en plus en plein mois de mai à Montréal — voilà une situation plutôt rarissime —, qu’elle ait choisi par surcroît, au petit matin de son déplacement migratoire, l'arbre de Danielle, perchée sur la seule branche visible de son balcon de ce grand érable au feuillage maintenant tout déployé et bien fourni, elle qui n'avait encore jamais observé l'espèce et en pleine ville sur une rue bordée de maisons, cela dépasse tout entendement. Pour nous trois qui vivions cette scène ensemble à la fin du jour, c'était bien le cas. En plus, lorsque nous savons que Danielle a perdu son conjoint, décédé il y a deux mois à peine, avec qui elle a partagé toute sa vie d'adulte, il est facile d'imaginer que ce visiteur fut un messager venu d'ailleurs la réconforter. Qu'importe que ce soit le cas ou non, c'est bien cela, et même davantage, que lui a procuré cette inimaginable rencontre.
J'ai passé quelques heures avec Danielle et Michel a observé dormir la belle, ici c'est le seul moment où elle a daigné ouvrir quelque peu un œil pour m'offrir ce rare regard. Avant notre arrivée, Danielle a eu un moment où le tout petit strigidé l'a regardé les deux yeux grands ouverts. Ce fut alors pour elle un moment magique et des plus émouvant! Merci la vie!

Another take on the Crazy Tuesday challenge: Childhood Memories. As an "Army Brat" for much of my formative years naturally playing with toy soldiers was a daily thing. These soldiers are not from back then all of those are missing in action. These are newer ones and not quite as cool as the older ones. Not much detail and not very well balanced.
Happy Crazy Tuesday!
When it's warm enough, the owners advertise sail boat rides and deploy the colorful sail. This has happened often as we walk by.
Perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, scientists will use these little cyborgs to plumb the depths to discover secrets never even conceived.

Forced perspective, yay! :P
This shot took several hours to set up, mostly because I kept changing the layout of the background to get a somewhat convincing waterline. Thanks to Luterem for the touch-up.

At the last moment the brakes are applied, wings tucked in and touch down into the hollow occurs.

So I made this hardsuit using an exclusively black colour palette initially as a sort of challenge, but then quickly realised how boring it would be without a little contrast, so I gave the suit some splashes of neon green and yellow for the hidden missles.
I kind of envisioned this being a sort of interplanetary stealth hardsuit, designed to board enemy space crafts, destroy their command centers and/or fuel sources and escape the ship before catastrophe. A sort of cloak and dagger take on hardsuits without being so literal.
As always, fits a fig, and for once, the build is pretty easy to stand! The fig hands into the agents pistol connection makes for pretty good flexibilty without sacraficing on strength. She's a proper solid bitch.
couldnt believe my luck with giving my camera to the boom. This was taken with my handheld Canon SD1000. What an amazing effect!
It was close to sunset and we passed about 60,000lbs to this Bone who went off to hunt in the mountains. He passed by us after getting gas and descended into the mountains...I wish I had my camera up front at the time! This shot more than makes up for it though.
Invasion! The Empire has deployed its forces to conquer and subjugate the Wookiees of Kashyyyk.
Upon hearing of the campaign, Laeesh Smie has arrived onworld to investigate the situation.
After gaining the trust of Wookiee commando Wullffwarro, she journeyed to a secret refuge hidden deep within the Wroshyr trees of the forested planet.
Hoping to gain information about the Imperial tactics, Laeesh is gathering any intel she can. Perhaps watching the war unfold could provide valuable insight into the new Empire's strategies.

This is my MOC for Dark Time's Target V. It was very fun to experiment with different organic techniques. I took quite a few more pictures of the MOC which I plan on uploading later.

During the Cold War the United States deployed Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) in sparsely populated areas of the United States to counter the Soviet Union's nuclear attack threat. The 577th Strategic Missile Squadron was activated in 1961 and assigned to the 11th Strategic Aerospace Wing, based at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Twelve Atlas F Missile launch sites were built near Altus Air Force Base between 1960 and 1962. Each of the sites were approximately 20 acres with 5 acres enclosed by a 7-foot chain link fence where the underground launch site and aboveground support facilities were located. The aboveground support facilities were primarily two 4,000-square-foot Quonset buildings. The launch site was capable of launching an Atlas F missile with a range of about 6,000 miles that would reach the Soviet Union in 43 minutes. The 577th Strategic Missile Squadron was on-line from July 1961 to March 1965. The introduction of the solid fuel missiles rendered the Atlas series of missiles obsolete. (Sources: Various, my compilation.)
The photograph is one of the Quonset support buildings at Launch Site 4.
