Golf ball to golf ball, however, are just puffballs that eventually dissolve.
Telus World of Science/ Formerly the Expo'86 Centre
Vancouver, BC Canada
Science World at Telus World of Science, is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization.
This geodesic dome ( golf ball shaped ) building was constructed for Expo '86. It was opened in 1985 as the Expo preview center and became the Expo '86 World's Fair Centre.
The height is 155 feet tall with a foundation of reinforced steel in a cement slab.
The dome is supported by 182 piles
There are 391 lights and 766 triangles on the Science World dome.
Constructed using 15,000 pounds of extruded aluminium and aluminium panels on the dome. The panels are 1 mm thick and are covered with a vinyl surface.
Science World has a total building area of 10,220 square metres and a total exhibit area of 4,275 square metres. The building’s volume is 36,790 cubic metres.
The air-conditioning system uses chilled water for cooling and gas-fired boilers for heating.
The OMIMAX Theatre seats 400 people
The screen is 27 metres in diameter. The theatre’s sound system uses high-fidelity, six-channel, two-way sound with sub-bass to create an unparalleled surround sound experience.
I read that the 15,000 watt xenon lamp that lights the movie screen is so bright that if it was placed on the surface of the moon and focused it at a spot on Earth, you would actually see its light.

One of the feistiest hummingbirds in North America, states Cornell's allaboutbirds.org site. Weighing less than a golfball, and to me they seem almost the same size.
A joy to see. Most other birds seem to be scarce while an eagle pair patrol our back forty.

After months without rain, a violent hailstorm over the hills of Soave, Veneto, Northern Italy. Looking toward the Illasi valley from Castelcerino.
Five minutes later, we were engulfed with hailstones the size of golfballs, but had the time to seek cover.
A huge golf ball sits on the first tee at the newly-opened Alnwick Moor golf course awaiting the arrival of celebrity guests Hagrid and Grawp. The 62,220 yard course is latest addition to the area's amenities.
It has been created to avoid any hints of discrimination against 'big folk' following the opening last week of the children's fantasy playground 'Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden', the £15.5m creation of the Duchess of Northumberland.

RSPB Minsmere in the shadow of Sizewell nuclear power station, which will eventually become Sizewell C. Although the plans will create many low carbon jobs, they are not without jeopardy to the beautiful iconic bird and nature reserve.
Brauner Feuerfalter wird auch Schwefelvögelchen genannt
Er gehört zur Familie der Bläulinge und ist ein Tagfalter
Die Männchen zeigen sich mit dunkelbraunen Flügeloberseiten und mit einem schwachen blaugrünen Schimmer
Am Rand der Flügel haben sie eine weiße Fransenbinde
Bei den Weibchen sind die Flügeloberseiten orange gefärbt mit schwarzen Flecken
Die Hinterflügel zeigen sich braun gefärbt und tragen am Rand eine Binde aus orangen Flecken
Unterseits der gelbbraunen Flügel haben sie schwarze Flecken und orange Randflecken
Brauner Feuerfalter hat zwei Generationen im Jahr, die Erste fliegt im Mai bis Juni, die zweite Generation von Juli bis Anfang September
Sie lieben die blütenreichen, mageren, naturnahen Wiesen, die Trockengebiete mit Gehölzen, feuchte Waldlichtungen und geschützte Gebirgsschluchten
Sie sind an den Blüten der Pflanzen, wie Weidenblättriger Alant, Kuckucks-Lichtnelke, Wasser-Minze, Acker-Minze, Ross-Minze, Polei-Minze, Rundblättrige Minze, Oregano, Scharfer Hahnenfuß, Wasser-Greiskraut, Zitronen-Kümmel-Thymian, Mastix-Thymian und noch an anderen zu finden
Die weiblichen Falter suchen nach den Pflanzen wie Wiesen-Sauerampfer und Kleiner Sauerampfer, um ihre kugeligen Eier abzulegen
Die Eier sehen wie kleine Golfbälle aus und aus ihnen schlüpfen die asselförmigen, schnellen Raupen
Sie leben versteckt auf den Blattunterseiten des Sauerampfers
Typisch ist der Schabfraß und es sind abgeschabte Gänge und Flächen zu sehen
Nach einigen Tagen sehen sie so grün, wie die Nahrungspflanze aus
Es findet keine Verpuppung der spät geschlüpften Raupen statt
Sie überwintern als Raupen und verpuppen sich im kommenden Frühjahr
Anfang Mai ist die erste Generation geschlüpft
Die im Mai gelegten Eier, da verpuppen sich die Raupen viel eher und die zweite Generation kann schon ab Juli fliegen.

Thanks to all for your lovely comments and favs. They make me smile and are always appreciated.
As the boring and not so very photogenic rainy weather continues, I keep posting photos which I took on a snowy day in January on the local golf course. This scenery doesn't look like a golf course at all but what I love about this place is the fact that it includes many rather 'wild' looking areas which are great for wildlife. The downside is that if your golfball lands in there you will probably never find it again. :)

Though the sun is shining at the moment, this winter seems to have been a long, very wet and certainly very windy one (still 35 mph gusts this morning).
So I've pulled this out of my Flickr possibles folder to get a dose of sun & warmth, if only by proxy!
This field with the crop taken over by poppies was just out of Alnwick (marked as Harlaw Hill on the OS map) and the view is towards Alnwick Moor with the Golf Ball visible of the skyline.
