The White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) is an aquatic passerine bird found in Europe and the Middle East, also known as the European Dipper or just Dipper. The species is divided into several subspecies on colour differences, especially of the pectoral band. The Dipper of Great Britain and Ireland is known as the "Brown-Bellied" Dipper (C. c. gularis), while the Irish race is Cinclus cinclus hibernicus.
The Dipper is a rotund, short-tailed bird, dark above and white-breasted, closely associated with swiftly running rivers and streams or the lakes into which these fall. The Dipper often perches bobbing spasmodically with its short tail uplifted on the rocks round which the water swirls and tumbles.
It acquired its name from these sudden dips, not from its diving habit, though it dives as well as walks into the water. It flies rapidly and straight, its short wings whirring swiftly and without pauses or glides, calling a shrill zil, zil, zil. It will then either drop on the water and dive or plunge in with a small splash. From a perch it will walk into the water and deliberately submerge, but there is no truth in the assertion that it can defy the laws of specific gravity and walk along the bottom.

日出之前~
七星潭的天空佈滿著厚厚的雲，海面上則是一顆在浮標上的顯眼紅燈。本以為這樣的天空會燒起來的，結果沒想到風采還遠不如海面上的那一趴紅燈~ ^^"
from spring.
I am fascinated by how the birds fly together. They seem to make different shapes. The guide change every time and they always know who to follow.
For Flick'r Friday theme 'My Right Hand' .... I've used this Bible for 38 years and wouldn't be without it!
If you’ve ever lost someone. If you’ve ever found someone. If you’ve ever reached out hoping to find a hand to guide you. If you’ve wanted to save someone. If you’ve been saved by someone. If what you chase eludes you. If you’ve captured what you seek. If you’ve felt close to someone and so far all at once. If your footprints guide those behind you.
According to the Aztec tradition the pungent scent of marigolds would help your ancestors find their way back to you. Old Town. San Diego, CA.

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out[a] the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
-Philippians 2:14-16
I've been desperately wanting to complete this project for a long time and I finally have it at a complete enough state to allow visitors to check it out! I've combined Yavanna Llanfair's YavaScript Pod transport system with my Teegle animesh horses! The horses are the actual guides that will walk around the region automatically when you sit on them just like those YavaPods you'll randomly see on the roads of SL mainland. If you're curious to check them out, come visit! Two riders can sit on one horse at the same time and there are only 3 horses available, but I think that's more than enough for now.

I decided to rework the Moonlight Blade, for I wasn't happy with the original design.
"As my mind began to succumb to despair, I glimpsed it- a faint sliver of light. It was a fleeting thing, yet I yearned for it. Driven by some ineffable desire, I pushed forward. The pain of the wind lashing at my skin, the cold burning away my nerves, vanished. It was then I was consumed by the brilliant blue and silver. I had found it- my savior- my guiding moonlight."
Northern Arizona. This is NOT the very trafficky Antelope Canyon, but another slot canyon not on the normal tourist itinerary. It is only accessible via Indian guides, like all destinations on their land.
