Pink Queens Anne's Lace. At least it is for now. As it ages, it will turn whiter. It seems that some of this weed & also Daisy Fleabane do this color change. That said, most new blooms are white though...

Iconic trapezoidal prism.
Mr. panzerbricklabs on instagram inspired me to further improve the design by adding the frontal slope to the tiger 1.
If you didn't know the history of the tiger 1 already; it was a heavy tank introduced in 1942 designed for breakthrough operations. It featured a 100mm frontal armour and an 8.8cm kwk 36 gun good for long range. The late war variants specifically had design changes such as a much lower profile commanders cupola, simplified steel rimmed road wheels, and a couple more battlefield reliability improvements. The problem with the tiger 1 was that it was expensive, mechanically complex, and produced in limited numbers. It had a fearsome reptation in the allied forces on both western and eastern fronts.
This frontal was on display before the refurbishment but has since been locked away. I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to see it before it goes away to be dry cleaned. Hopefully it will be on display on the new altar in the future
This duck surprised me by her sudden take off right in front of me, so I can barely managed few shots... @Bolsa Chica wetlands
Funerary relief with six figures: two women and four men. The rightmost woman hair-style is similar to the coiffure of the female portraits dating to the early Augustan empire: last two decades of the first century BC. The small knot (nodus) on the forehead recalls the portraits of Livia in particular.
The long, framed late Republican reliefs from Rome and the Italic towns, with frontal half figures of men and women shown as if they are looking out through a window, almost exclusively commemorate freedmen and their families, as the accompanying inscriptions inform us. The reliefs adorned the outside of tombs just above eye-level and were meant to attract the attention of passers-by.
This can be observed in the three reliefs (about 270 have survived scattered in museums around the world) which remain in situ on the Via Statilia and the Via Appia . These funerary reliefs dating to the second quarter of the first century B.C. are carved – initially in limestone or travertine and later almost exclusively in marble – in a style which attempts to bring them close to the ideals of the free-standing honorific statues and tomb statues of aristocrats of the Late Republic.
The notion of old age as a respected state, as well as a general sense of calmness and dignity, exude from these reliefs. Most of the reliefs show four or more people, often two married couples of two generations and sometimes three, those dead as well as those still living. The juxtaposition of different couples is clearly part of an attempt to create a genealogy similar to what is observed in the tombs of the aristocracy. Sometimes the person who set up the relief may be among those represented in the reliefs.
In the early versions of this genre no children are represented. They make their appearance during the last quarter of the first century B.C. The most important message of the reliefs was to signify the social status of the deceased to a wide audience of passers-by.

Another shot from last weekend when I was fooling with my seldom used macro lens. I should shoot more with it....it's another world ... but I have enough trouble shooting the big things world.
Please check it out LARGE.
Mike, Andy, pianoforte109 and I met last night for a shoot. 8 was a great sport and I had fun catching her in different moods. This is the tip of the iceberg of 596 shots.
Thanks to Mike for his lights and lighting expertise.
