Proudly wearing British Rail green, Colas Rail-owned 37057 coasts through Shortlands with a test train and Colas-liveried 37116 in tow working 1Q79, the 09:45 Hither Green P.A.D. - Derby R.T.C. via Ashford(Kent).
At the time, it was running approximately half an hour late, having left Hither Green 15 minutes late. The mighty tractors prevailed though, resulting in a 30 minute EARLY arrival into Derby!
Hand held and in natural light of a Metallic Green Sweat Bee (Augochlora spp) on a Common Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis). The bee is about 0.4 inch long.
This really looks nice seen LARGE. You can do so against a black background HERE

Sweat Bee, common name for any of a large family of bees, many of which are attracted to the salts in human perspiration. Most sweat bees are small to medium-sized, 3 to 10 mm (0.12 to 0.40 in) long. They are generally black or metallic colored, and some are brilliant green or brassy yellow. Sweat bees are among the most common bees wherever bees are found, except in Australia, where they are relatively uncommon. There are about 1000 species in the United States, Canada, and Central America.
Sweat bees are particularly numerous in North America. Although their small size makes them relatively inconspicuous, hundreds may swarm over flowers in gardens or meadows. The different species are often difficult to distinguish. Most sweat bees visit a variety of flowers. They sting only if handled.
The life cycles of sweat bees vary tremendously among species. Most species nest in the ground, but some nest in wood. Nests usually consist of a single main tunnel having one or more clumped cells arising from lateral branches. In some species, the bees constantly guard the nest entrances.
A wide range of social development is displayed in the family. Some species, such as the common eastern sweat bee, have been intensively studied. Many insights into the evolution of social behavior among insects have been learned from sweat bees. Many species are solitary-that is, the female builds and occupies its nest alone. This is considered the basic, most primitive nesting behavior. In some sweat bee species, females nest communally, sharing a common nest entrance but constructing cells individually. Many species, including the common eastern sweat bee, show varying levels of sociality, passing through a continuum of stages in social development. In these species, there may be several egg-laying "queens" with the other nest mates functioning as workers. Sometimes generations of these bees overlap and live together and there may be a division of labor among nest mates. However, unlike many social bees, such as honey bees, there is little communication between adults.
In some parasitic species of sweat bees, females invade the nests of other bees and lay their eggs in the food stored by the host bee. The sweat bee larva kills the host larva and consumes the food. Hosts are usually other species of sweat bees.

This is another relative to grey star, with one extra layer added. I folded it shortly after cfc2 in Zaragozza, I don't remember anything more about it right now... There is a chance I will find a model and inspect it again. Having such a bad memory can be sometimes handy because I can be surprised again by things which I once made/know but it has big drawbacks too... Flickr serves as my external memory for all those details I tend to forget about models, connections and inspirations. I still go back to it if I want to get informations about models folded some years ago.

Green Heron - this guy was more than a little disturbed by the Red-shouldered Hawk that was intruding into his hunting grounds and hunting him. Huntley Meadows Park
Putting up the photo of the cricket match that was taken by a walk I did with Jean and Jack near St Asaph made me look at one or two other photos from that day. This is one of them...
One could argue that these little green blobs are some form of corporeal fairy spirit instead of being just water drops.
Alternately, one could argue that this is what you see in your mind when you go buckwild with a bottle of absinthe (aka, "The Green Fairy").
Or, one might simply suggest that these are waterdrops and nothing more.
But that person, I'd chide for having no imagination. Then I'd push him into a mudd puddle and laugh as he had to scoop mud out of his mouth and off his powder blue Polo shirt.
Hahaha, stupid person. You're covered in dirt!

What?
I am so lucky to see northern lights on the first day on my vacation trip to Norway at Chinese new year.
