Red, white and green are the main colors of this cute frog. Her pink ice skates kept showing from every direction, but I hope it isn't too distracting!
Happy Smile on Saturday to Everyone! 😊
2020 Philadelphia Mummers Parade.
120-year-old Mummers Parade, which has been cancelled only twice (1919 and 1934), will not be held in 2021 :(
A huge (almost 2 feet across) very unusual ammonite that begins like most of that tribe, in being tightly coiled, then the larger coils drift out away from the inner coils, as above. This one also shows some opalescent nacre from the original shell. This will be the last fossil for some time so for those not interested in creatures who went out with the dinosaurs, don't despair. I am a bit of a dinosaur myself, and I survived the asteroid/comet.......I think.......Beautiful and exquisitely interesting creatures! This one is sitting in a clever steel seaweed shaped holder. Not mine unfortunately!
An image from 3 years ago run through a simple and cheap paint app, PhotoArtista-Oil. This is one of an infinite variety possible on a single image. Great Fun. You can enlarge to see details of the 3 dimensional like look of the 'paint', and the brush strokes, and the app has numerous variations available.

The Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing, also called the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and Second Narrows Bridge, is the second bridge constructed at the Second (east) Narrows of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Originally named the Second Narrows Bridge, it connects Vancouver to the North Shore of Burrard Inlet, which includes the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. It was constructed adjacent to the older Second Narrows Bridge, which is now exclusively a rail bridge. Its construction, from 1956 to 1960, was marred by a multi-death collapse on June 17, 1958. The First Narrows Bridge, better known as Lions Gate Bridge, crosses Burrard Inlet about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of the Second Narrows.
Occasionally a few Ammonites have sufficient actual shell nacre remaining that after 100s of millions of years later, they can have amazing iridescence showing several colors of great intensity. The non-scientific 'gemology' term for these rare and extremely sought after bits of shell is known as Amolite. Large specimens are sadly sometimes broken up and polished to be sold as jewelry. This medium sized ammonite shows primarily red and green, while some can also show blue, purple and even yellow. As in the Morpho Butterfly, the colors are produced by crystalline formations in the shell, and change with the angle of view, and can be very bright, and are not from pigments. Ammonites are cousins of the Chambered Nautilus, both being related to squid and octopus, and are NOT sea snails. While the walls between chambers in the Nautilus are smoothly rounded, the Ammonite chambers can be very complex producing wonderful patterns. Colors not enhanced.

Ferrari’s immortal 275 GTB-C, designed by Pininfarina and manufactured by Scaglietti, with its sleek, shark-like profile, muscular 3.3-liter V-12 engine, and agile handling ability, was offered as a powerful road going berlinetta in two-cam and, later, four-cam variations
One of just twelve 2nd series 275 GTB/C Competiziones
Creating a replacement for the hugely successful 250 series of Ferraris was a daunting task for the engineers at Maranello. As the 250 series was highly successful both in the showroom and on the track, it effectively etched Ferrari’s name into the automotive history books. With numerous wins at Le Mans, the Tour de France, Sebring, and Daytona, the 250 LWB TdF, the 250 SWB, the 250 LM, and the 250 GTO were the gold standard of sports car racing, all designed and engineered under the same roof no less, and now Ferrari needed to top their own series of world-beating sports cars with something even more extraordinary.
The only people who can keep track of Ferrari models are Ferrari people. Take the 1950s and 1960s, for example. Back then, Ferrari seemingly thought nothing of popping off a run of 10 slightly different cars and giving them each a different model designation. Look at 1965-1968, when I think there were 12 competition models and eight road cars, with sometimes hazy distinctions between them.
Like the 1966 275 GTB/C Berlinetta Competizione. It's somewhere between the dry-sump 275 GTB Speciale, and the assorted 275 street models. Ferrari built 12, with a sheetmetal resemblance to the 275 GTB road car, but with a competition drive-train intended only for racing.
For 1965, Ferrari constructed three lightweight GTB Competizione Speciales, which were graced with 250 LM dry-sump racing engines in order to try the model’s hand in competition. Whilst the Scuderia only managed a 2nd in class finish at the Nürburgring, following a DNF at the Targa Florio with 06885, Ecurie Francorchamps campaigned the very same car (chassis 06885) at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it placed an amazing 1st in class and an even more monumental 3rd overall, which was an incredible result for a GT car duelling with sport prototypes.
Building on their results from the 1965 season, Ferrari launched a new model in the GT class for the 1966 season. The car, dubbed the 275 GTB Berlinetta Competizione, or 275 GTB/C for short, was designed around a completely new chassis, which was specifically designed for this model.
At the heart of the 275 GTB/C was the new Tipo 213/Comp. engine, which was developed from a Works car that campaigned in 1965. The engine block itself received extra reinforcement in the form of external ribs, and the casings of the sump, timing chain, cam cover, and bell housing were built in Elektron, much like the other Ferrari competizione models. Other improvements included higher-lift camshafts, reinforced pistons, special valves, and a special crankshaft. The GTB/C was also graced with dry-sump lubrication, allowing the engine to sit lower in the chassis in an effort to further reduce the car’s center of gravity.
