I was tired of seeing squirrels climb into my Magnolia tree and stretch to get to this feeder. Now, it is hung from it's own pole, and with a $3 Slinky and a hose clamp, the entertainment will begin.

62004 was new to Stagecoach Fife in 2019 as 62009.
She is seen here at Edinburgh Park.
In 2019, Stagecoach Fife ordered 4 new Autonomous Buses, which drive on their own without the need of a driver, these were numbered 62001-62004.
These buses were new in the Stagecoach Beachball livery, but have since been repainted and wrapped into the Autonomous Bus livery.
They will include a "captain" on the bus as well as a safety driver. To pay for your ticket, you take a seat, put on your seatbelt and you pay for a ticket using the device.
These buses also have perks such as Wireless Charging, Seatbelts, etc. Wearing a seatbelt is compulsory.
This is phase 1 of the 2 year trial for Service AB1, which currently runs between Edinburgh Park on the edge of Hermiston Gait to Ferrytoll Park and Ride.
Currently, the only parts of the route that drive in autonomous mode are the motorways.
Phase 2 will involve the full service to be in autonomous mode and an extension to Dunfermline.
These buses are based on the "Enviro 200 MMC" with a robotic twist. For more info on the service, please check out the Stagecoach Website linked below!

A suspicious device was across the street from Toys R Us. They blocked off one of the entrances to the Lakeland Square Mall. Lakeland Police was first on scene. LPD doesn't have a bomb squad, so they had to wait on TPD's bomb squad to arrive. After close investigation, it was determined to be a low jack device beeping because the vehicle it was taken off of, was stolen.
For the Macro Mondays theme of Game Pieces. I was hard pressed to find anything more suitable because all our board games are kept in the loft i.e. apart from this which was a Christmas pressie last year, It's the board version of the game you can play on mobile devices. I've put one of last year's pictures of the board game in comments.

With the new Biopic "Oppenheimer" coming to most theaters today I thought it might be interesting to have a look at the Trinity Device aka known as The Gadget the output product of The Manhattan Project. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project with a yield of energy equivalent to 24.8 ± 2 kilotons of TNT.
After the successful test Oppenheimer is said to have quoted a passage from the Hindu scripture, the "Bhagavad Gita;" "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
This inert model of the Trinity Device is located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
The bridge, planned by the French colonial power in 1899-1902 and built mainly by the Vietnamese among numerous victims, is almost 1.7 km long and has only been allowed for mopeds and pedestrians for many years. The traffic dictates, especially during rush hour, the wearing of a mask or a durable device... crossing the bridge on foot is an adventure in every way.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. So much of our life is now experienced through screens of various sizes and this shot captured my imagination for that narrative. The eye contact from the woman on the bench was unexpected as she was equally engrossed in her 'device' just a beat before I clicked the shutter.

This is called "aka tonbo" 赤とんぼ in Japanese, literally-- red dragonfly.
I like the red rectangular pattern near the tip of the wings:)
Éxtasis a tope este pasado fin de semana en La Mancha.
A lovely birdwatching weekend trip to a dry lake in the middle of Spain where temperatures were raising up to 44º C during the day. Here a bearded reedling was getting cooler.

I just wiped all the dust of this Wacom tablet, which I haven't used for 4-5 years, but now I want to hone my skills in portrait retouching, so I better get used to this small device ....
A contraption is a device that seems unusually complicated ... for many a crochet hook is just such a device!
As a historian, I just had to seek out the history of this interesting device. The art of crochet arrived in the West around 1500 through China, India, and Persia . "And how about the crochet tool? Today we walk into a yarn shop or Walmart and purchase aluminum, plastic or steel hooks available in more than 25 sizes. In earlier times, however, they used whatever they could get their hands on - fingers first, then hooks made of metal, wood, fishbone, animal bone, horn, old spoons, teeth from discarded combs, brass, mother-of-pearl, morse (walrus tusk), tortoiseshell, ivory, copper, steel, vulcanite, ebonite, silver and agate." -Ruthie Marks, A History of Crochet.

Pritviraj and Vinod, after their training at the gym, this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).
In Indian wrestling, vyayam, or physical training, is meant to build strength and develop muscle bulk and flexibility. Exercises that employ the wrestler's own bodyweight include the sun salutation, shirshasan, and the dand, which are also found in hatha yoga, as well as the bethak.
Sawari (the passenger) is the practice of using another person's bodyweight to add resistance to such exercises.
Exercise regimens may also employ the following weight training devices:
The nal is a hollow stone cylinder with a handle inside.
The gar nals (literally "neck weights") is a circular stone ring worn around the neck to add resistance to dands and bethaks.
The gada is a mace, as associated with Hanuman.
An exercise gada is a heavy round stone attached to the end of a meter-long bamboo stick.
Pahalwani trophies take the form of gadas made of silver and gold.
Exercise regimens may also include dhakulis, which involve twisting rotations; rope climbing; log pulling; and running. Massage is regarded an integral part of a pahalwan's exercise regimen.

One from my Liverpool trip - not my usual kind of photography but this guy was so engrossed in his mobile device, he was oblivious to anything or anyone .
Visitors to the reconstructed site of old Dejima at Nagasaki, Japan, check their devices for messages.

*******************************
Another year has elapsed since I last photographed the tango dancers gathering on Pier 45 (where Christopher Street runs into the Hudson River in New York City's West Village), on the weekend before Labor Day, late-August 2014. But the sun was shining one weekend in early June of 2015, and I decided to venture down to Greenwich Village once again...
As I've mentioned in other Flickr sets, I have now met a few of the dancers at previous tango event over the past several; years, and I used to make a point of introducing myself to some of them, handing out business cards with my Flickr address so that people would be able to find these pictures without too much difficulty. But the dancers have good reason to be more interested in the music, and the movement of their partners, than a guy on the sideline with a camera -- so most of them have simply ignored me…
Altogether, I've now taken a dozen sets of tango-related photos, and you can see a thumbnail overview of them in this Flickr collection. And if you'd like to watch some other examples NYC tango dancing, check out Richard Lipkin's Guide to Argentine Tango in New York City.
Even though the dancers seem fresh and enthusiastic each time I come down here to Pier 45, I have a definite sense of deja vu: arguably, I’ve seen it all, I’ve photographed it all, I’ve heard all the tango music several times before. So I decided to do something different this time: I took all of the photos with my iPhone6+ camera. I used the “burst mode” feature on the camera-phone, so even though I took some 4,000 separate images, there were only about 400 “bursts,” and the iPhone hardware was kind enough to tell me which one or two images were reasonably sharp in each burst. From that smaller subset, I was eventually able to whittle things down to 50 images that I thought were okay for uploading to Flickr; that’s what you’ll see here.
Actually, the reason I was motivated to do all of this was not Flickr, but Instagram: for reasons that I can only assume are a stubborn testament to the “culture” of its community, Instagram insists on a “square” format, rather than the 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio favored by most DSLR and point-and-shoot cameras. Even worse, it insists that the photos be uploaded one-at-a-time from a mobile device. Ironically, this last restriction may prove to be too much; I’m uploading the photos to Flickr from my desktop Mac, but I don’t know if I’ll have the patience to upload them individually to Instagram…
Aside from that, I’ve concluded that the iPhone6+ is a handy little device for casual, ad hoc photos and videos; but it really doesn’t have the features I’ve come to depend on for the photos I want to publish. I won’t go into all of the technical details; chances are that you either don’t know, or don’t care, about those details. And if you do, chances are that you’ve made up your mind one way or another. As for me, I will definitely keep using the iPhone for some of my photos — especially the ones that really are casual, unplanned, ad hoc photos when I’ve got no other equipment that I can use. But with sophisticated little “pocket cameras” like the Sony RX-100 and Canon G7X, those moments are pretty rare for me … still, it was an interesting experiment.
As I've also pointed out in some previous Flickr albums, you can see a video version of the tango dancers from 2011, complete with music (which isn’t really tango music, but that’s okay), on my YouTube page; it’s here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqmnTQuwn54&list=UUUXim5Er2O4...
