Today it's my turn to pick a group for FGR, so I chose Spot the Difference - with the added bonus that these pics can also go into the Diptychs group.
Can you spot the differences? Have a look at the large version and then put notes on the ones you can see.
I may do another version later today if I get more time.

Make up your Mind to Make a Difference
We’ve made up our mind to make a difference and unleashing human potential is our mission. Here’s how we do it…The Philanthropy of TheDOJO through Project Based Leadership Training. If someone is looking to make a difference in our world a simple start is performing an act of kindness for a child (most likely it will be remember throughout their life). Donate a toy with us this holiday season, see how below.
20,000 Smiles
Last year TheDOJO Toy Drive raised 230 toys for Toys for Tots, a military organization who distributes the toys to children who are without. Last year 20,000 toys were handed out, that equates to 20,000 smiles of children. What better way to instill a sense of hope in a child’s heart than through compassion? Toys for Tots also donates, all throughout the year, toys to children in our locality that are victims of disasters such as storms and house fires.

Very much contrasting in style are these two Leyland Titan buses seen on display in the car park of the Wirral Met College, Twelve Quays Campus, Shore Road, Morpeth Dock, Birkenhead, during the Wirral Transport Show, on 06/10/2024. Slightly nearest the camera is preserved Liverpool Corporation Transport, L255, VKB711, a Crossley bodied PD2/20. This was new to Liverpool in 11/1956. Alongside is preserved St. Helens Corporation Transport, L29, RDJ729, an East Lancs bodied PD2A/30. It was new to St. Helens in 06/1962. it spent many a year in Canada prior to returning to home shores. This has the 'St. Helens' bonnet front while L255 has the 'tin' bonnet front. © Peter Steel 2024.
The above 32 Merlin photos taken on 19 November 2012 span 31 minutes. The photos are sequential showing how a falcon typically feeds: starting with the head, then plucking the flight feathers of the wing, followed by plucking the body plumage and tearing off portions of the skin, finally eating the flesh of the torso as well as portions of the viscera.
This Merlin perched on tall light poles that gave a wide view across a parking lot and adjoining golf course. Whenever a House Sparrow flew across this open area, the Merlin often pursued in low flight at high speed usually with a successful outcome.
A large female Merlin (12 inches) is 1.5 times longer in length than a small male American Kestrel (8 inches), though the average between the two species by their respective sexes is only an inch.
The difference in body mass between these two species is significantly greater than that of their linear size. On an average of 7.4 oz a female Merlin is 1.5 times heavier than the average female American Kestrel at 4.3 oz. And a large female Merlin at 8.3 oz is 2.4 times heavier than a small male American Kestrel at 3.4 oz.
All female falcons are larger than their respective males. This difference is called reversed sexual size dimorphism (RSD). A diversity of explanations about RSD has developed, but there is no general agreement as to why it exists. Measuring museum skins (wing chord) is the usual source for documenting RSD. But linear size isn’t everything. Body mass (weight) is the best source for documenting RSD. For instance, both sexes of the Lesser Kestrel statistically share insignificant differences in linear measurements. Yet each sex is pronouncedly different in body weight. But care should be taken to examine a bird’s condition at the time of weighing. The amount of fat deposits (along the keel bone) and the amount of food within the digestive tract (the crop) can distort the actual body mass.
The pectoral muscles, being the major portion of a falcon’s mass, are the power source for wing beat. The Merlin’s pectoral muscles comprise a greater part of its body mass (20.2%) as compared to that of the American Kestrel (15.0%). This difference plus the lighter wing load of the American Kestrel changes the dynamics of hunting between the two species. (Wing load is weight carried by a given unit area of the wing, expressed as a bird’s body mass divided by total wing area, g/cm².)
For the most part, falcons depend on terminal diving speed, “the stoop”, in capturing prey. Since speed is positively related to mass, larger falcons have an advantage in greater diving speed. But equally important is the rate of climb prior to the crucial stoop, being determined by wing load and power output from wing flapping. Therefore, compared to the Kestrel, the Merlin has an advantage as “a bird hunter” due to its greater acceleration, horizontal speed, climbing rate and diving speed.
American Kestrels usually search for prey by perching or by hovering on a light wind. They then drop down on relatively sluggish prey such as microtine rodents and grasshoppers. They even walk for earthworms. Dragonflies are a specialty. At West Quoddy Lighthouse in Maine, I saw a migrant snatch a flying dragonfly over the sea, then eat it along the way. In Michigan I've watched low flying Kestrels pursue Killdeers over plowed fields. I've yet to see a successful chase. The Killdeers would immediately return to their previous locations as if the Kestrel were just a minor annoyance.
On the other hand, swift-flying shorebirds when available are a mainstay for coastal wintering Merlins, just as Mourning Doves, American Pipits, Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs are in open agricultural land.

The variety of terrain on The Big Island of Hawaii is crazy -- we drove from Hilo all the way around the east side of the island to our hotel just outside of Kona. The drive was definitely worth the time -- just to appreciate the vast differences between each area of the island.
A few differences between a dance recital and a dance competition is that:
--there are no judges
--a recital is generally just one studio
--all skill levels are highlighted)
Shooting a recital is a fun change of pace. I haven't done one for a couple years, so I was excited to get hired to do one!

Preston Bus Station - the long distance coach end which used to be a taxi pick and set down point. In later times it looked absolutely awful and the haunt of drunks and yobs
“Why didn’t your parents want you? How does that make you feel?” “Is your real family dead?” “Will you have to go back someday?”
It wasn’t easy being adopted — especially being a brown girl from Central America, with two white parents. Until seventh grade, it hadn’t been too much of an issue for me. I’d gone to a small church school with the same people I pretty much saw seven days a week. We all knew each other as well as if we were related, and we’d grown up together from babyhood. Everyone knew I was adopted, and it was no big deal.
But when I was twelve, I left my safe cocoon for a bigger, public middle school. Like my elementary school, the new school was mostly white. I was used to that. What I wasn’t used to were all the questions.
Now, I know — from the statistics — that there were probably as many as three or four other adopted kids in my class. But they were the same color as their parents, so nobody had to know their private business. I, on the other hand, couldn’t hide.
It wasn’t so bad when my mom came alone to help out at school or attend a meeting. When kids saw her, they just assumed I had a Latino dad. There were other mixed-race students in my class and, just like I’d grown up with the same group of kids at my elementary school, these kids had all grown up together, too. They were used to mixed marriages.
At first, I didn’t want anybody to know. I just hoped and prayed only one parent would show up to things. Then, for all anyone knew, I could just be another biracial kid. But, all too soon, people found out, and I had to start answering questions.
Of course, a lot of people didn’t care either way. But when you’re twelve and you feel very different, it really seems like everybody is staring and whispering — when in actuality, they aren’t even paying any attention to you at all.
Some kids were just innocently curious. Others were downright mean about it. They were the kind of kids that tell their younger brother or sister, “You’re adopted” — like it’s a bad thing — even when they aren’t.
At first, it felt as if I was defending myself. Maybe it was none of their business, but brushing them off would only have made things worse. I had to admit I was adopted. I had to explain why I was adopted, and what that meant.
It was frustrating a lot of the time. People just didn’t get it. They couldn’t understand why somebody wouldn’t be living with their “real” parents. They couldn’t imagine what it would be like, living with “strangers.”
It drove me crazy. What did “real” mean, anyway? My adoptive parents were as real as anybody else’s. I was their “real” kid. We sure weren’t artificial. And after twelve years together, we were anything but strangers.
As time went by, I made true friends. They came over to our house and hung out. My mom or dad drove us to the mall or the movies. My friends were soon as comfortable with my family as the kids I’d grown up with.
But some of the other kids still didn’t get it. It was as if they thought adoption was wrong or scary. I guess I could have kept trying to get through to them, but finally I realized they would probably never understand — and that was not my problem.
Adopted kids are just like any other kids. When we get in trouble, we get grounded. Our parents clean up our messes and stay with us when we’re sick. They yell at us when they get mad. They’re proud when we do well. Sometimes, they hurt our feelings or don’t understand us, or they let us down. And sometimes they stand up for us, or they sit and listen when we are sad or worried. Adoptive families are forever, and we are just like anyone else.
It wasn’t till I got a little older that I realized how lucky I really was, and that adoption was something that made our family even more special. I had friends with parents who were in jail or had just disappeared. One girl lived in a group foster home. Some kids were failing out or school or doing drugs, and their parents didn’t even seem to care.
I am blessed to have a home and a family that cares about me. I know, too, that I’m blessed to have a birth family that loved me enough to let me be adopted when they weren’t able to provide for me. A lot of people aren’t so lucky. I am where I belong.
