I am attempting to actually make an absolutely white meal but first I wanted to try this with sashimi grade tuna and using biscuit cutters to make my meal look fancy. Not that you can see but this is rice swimming in white miso with shredded daikon radish on top, then the tuna.
Even when new this 1977 Cutlass Supreme Brougham sedan was a rarity this is one out of 16740 made. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
From a week's family vacation in a rented house in Skagen, Denmark - April 05, 2021.
The photo is taken at Skagen Odde Nature Centre north of the town.
Doesn't nature display the best art?
And I think it conveys the creativity of the best Artist.
The garden next to our back patio is graced by many fern plants, making it a joy to sit and relax there in the warm summer months.
I was down on my hands and knees to get this perspective. Sometimes you've got to get dirty to get the capture you envision :)
Have a great weekend, everyone.
The fancy dance regalia are looms of glass bead sets on suspenders, belt cuffs, headband, armbands. The designs are usually matching in all items and of a rainbow feather or geometric design. Beaded medallions are on the forehead and bustles are also quite common. Occasionally a breastplate will be used in place of the beaded suspenders.
The other trademark for fancy dancers is the use of large feather bustles. Currently most bustles are color-coordinated with the beadwork by using large amounts of feather hackles dyed the appropriate colors.
Small matching hackle bustles are sometimes worn as armbands. Hanging beneath the bottom bustle are a pair of trailers, usually with some ribbon work, made from navy blue, black or red wool.
Male Red Legged Honeycreeper.
Interestingly the juvenile male starts off looking like the green female - then gradually develops the male plumage - so has patches of both for a time.

It's Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower).

Can you name this world famous tower?
Please note. The map reference 'below' shows the wrong name, even though I placed it in the correct place..
You can't get the staff these days... haha.

Maybe not a true quonset because there is about six feet of vertical wall on each side. But how 'bout that big door?

One of the more welcome sights in the early stages of spring in Minnesota is the return of Hooded Merganser ducks. They don’t travel extremely long distances compared to some ducks. Many spend the winter in the southern United States, in places with ice-free ponds, rivers, and swamps.
When the ice begins to disappear up north, they head back. In our area of Minnesota, they usually return in March and April, often among the earlier ducks to show up.
Right now, this resting female is likely in the midst of scouting for a nesting site. Hooded Mergansers are cavity nesters, which means they look for holes in trees near water. Old woodpecker holes are a favorite. Over the next few weeks, she will settle on a spot, lay a clutch of eggs, and begin incubating them.
When it comes to raising the young, the female does most of the work. The male helps early in the season but usually leaves once incubation begins. He’s got more important things to do, like work on his boat or go to Twins’ games with his friends.
Hooded Mergansers are full of little surprises that make them way more interesting than their modest size suggests.
First, their eyesight is exceptional underwater. These birds are true hunters, not dabblers. When they dive, they can actually adjust their vision to see clearly beneath the surface of the water, almost like putting on a pair of built-in goggles. This helps them manage to chase down small fish with great accuracy.
Second, that hood sitting on top of its head isn’t just for show. On males, it’s dramatic and obvious, but even females raise their crest into a spiky fan when they’re alert or agitated. It’s a form of communication, but with feathers.
One peculiar aspect is that mergansers sometimes lay eggs in each other’s nests. It’s called “egg dumping,” and a single nest can end up with 20 or more eggs from multiple females, kind of like a sleepover that lasts for weeks.

No, this Glaucous-winged Gull has not been to a Taylor Swift concert. Those colourful bands are part of the Salish Sea Gull Project which is studying the health and habitat of gulls in the very human impacted Salish Sea (Gulf of Georgia). I took this image at the pier in Crescent Beach, Surrey, B.C. and I reported the sighting to the project.
