The rocks look like sea monsters breaking the surface.
Truth sent his updated bangs as group gift today and as I found a hat, I removed my hair, put a hairbase and only mixed 2 types of bangs to get the hair I wanted. And voilà, we can all wear hats now in SL!

Sometimes when Jasper gets going really fast there is some spontaneous combustion in his wake. But, combine that kind of speed with the heat of the Sonoran Desert and things can happen. No worries. A little ice water and Jasper is back to being cool as a cucumber.
I’m sure you all know where this was taken, that’s correct, St. Peter’s Square, Manchester.
One of these days you might get to see what the tram stop really looks like; or maybe not!!

Little fast food today in a home made mix.
Bread, home made avocado and tuna fish salad with home made mayonnaise, iceberg salad, home made pickles, onion, meat mix on grill, cheese, ketchup.
Doesn't look like much (fast food, fast shot), but I like it.
Tomorrow I will tell you about that salad, a must try.

This old caboose sits at the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum. Decided to get a little nuts with the pic, and here's the result.
The danish flag "Dannebrog" is proudly presented in this picture on this F-16AM in the 800th anniversary special colour scheme.
The flying display was shown at the Luxeuil air show 2021.
A swift swish! A bubbly splash! And the fish is gone! Fast!
(Can you see the little fish in the egret's beak?) :)

Black Vulture, Coragyps atratus, with cypress knees in the background. These are very common here—cleaning up last night’s roadkill in the neighborhood; following the larger Turkey Vultures, which have a better sense of smell, in a wide range across the prairie. Often see groups of 2 or 3, but a dozen or two gathered that morning on the small island just across the water to my left.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Musk Lorikeet
Glossopsitta concinna
Bird Overview: The Musk Lorikeet specialises in feeding on the nectar which is produced by flowering eucalypts, and sometimes also from the flowers of banksias and grevilleas. They collect nectar with their brush-shaped tongues. Musk Lorikeets are usually seen feeding in large noisy flocks in the canopy of eucalypts, often associating with other nectar-feeding birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets and honeyeaters. The movements of Musk Lorikeets are often correlated with the flowering of trees, with birds appearing when the trees are in bloom, and leaving after the flowering has finished.
Identification: The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail.
Songs and Calls: The usual contact call is a shrill metallic screech, higher than the Rainbow Lorikeet, in flight and when perched. They constantly chatter when feeding.
Habitat: Musk Lorikeets are found in tall, open, dry forest and woodlands, dominated by eucalypts and are usually found in the canopy. They are also seen in suburban areas, parks and street trees. They roost or loaf in tall trees away from their feeding sites.
Behaviour: Musk Lorikeets are gregarious, often mixing with other parrots when feeding, including Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Little Lorikeets and Swift Parrots.
Feeding: Musk Lorikeets feed in all levels of the canopy and are very active when foraging. They eat mainly pollen and nectar from eucalypts using their specialised brush-tipped tongues, but also eat seeds, fruits and insects and their larvae.
Breeding: Musk Lorikeets breed in hollow branches and holes in living eucalypts, often near watercourses. The entrance holes are usually very small, so they have to squeeze in. Eggs are laid on a base of chewed or decayed wood. The female incubate the eggs and both parents roost in the hollow at night.
