White-tailed Kites in a courtship exchange where the male holds the prey in his kiting position for her to grab with her talons. It's harder than it looks - she actually misses this try by a feather but he holds steady and she gets another chance. I just couldn't pass up on the light in their eyes on this one.
Do be sure and check it large with a couple of clicks.

P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
The Snail Kite has to exchange the snail from his talons to his beak so he can land and eat his prize.
1889-91, addition added in 1985. Preservationist fought to save this structure and the old stairway entrance which is on the other side.
First visit to Chemical Beach with my friend steveniceton.co.uk. The tide was much too high to capture the Iron Wheels, so my feet got a good soaking taking this one of the Stack. We had been all set up for a LE from the other side with the groynes leading up to the stack, but when all the cloud action started happening behind us I had to abandon that plan pretty sharpish.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

It took 16 photo sessions for a total of 35+ hours to get a few sweet images of these White-tailed Kites making an aerial vole exchange. It was well worth the effort.

The Lumber Exchange Building was the first skyscraper built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, dating to 1885. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Franklin B. Long and Frederick Kees and was billed as one of the first fireproof buildings in the country. It is the oldest high-rise building standing in Minneapolis, and is the oldest building outside of New York City with 12 or more floors.
A candid street style Snap captured some people purchasing something from a London fast food outlet and looking as if they are exchanging a fork.

I had a "party line" growing up. This was in the 80s, long after most communities had moved on from the archaic system. How ours worked was that several neighbors shared a line, though we all had different number (five digits, though seven could also be used).
When the neighbor's number was called, our phone would ring, but only a quick chime. If we picked it up, we could listen in on the conversation. This was a mostly-unspoken pastime. Everyone did it, nobody said a word (directly).
If you needed to make a call and another party was using the line, you didn't get to make the call. Again, this was in the 80s. The 1980s.
This changed in February of 1988 when the local phone company made the big switch. It wasn't to touchtone (that would still be a few more years), but to mostly private lines.
The dial tone was softer, we had to dial all seven digits. It wasn't a full switch yet, you could still call other numbers on your party line, you just had to dial the number, wait for a tick, hang up and then wait and hopefully your neighbor would be there when you picked your phone up again.
At some point the party lines disappeared - probably in the early 90s. By that time, we had moved into a new house and a fully private line and a touchtone phone were standard. At one point in my teens, I even had my own number.
