Tree snails are this raptor's favorite prey but frogs, salamanders, small mammals and insects are also taken. When it finds a tree snail it holds it with its talon and uses its beak to pry open the shell. The nest is a flimsy platform of sticks is built by both sexes. The Hook-billed Kite lays two to three buff-white eggs marked with red-brown. Incubation is by both sexes. Semialtricial young stay in the nest 35–45 days and are fed by both sexes. This raptor is often considered sluggish and retiring, preferring to perch inside leafy canopy when not flying. (Wikipedia)
The wheel bug uses stealth and hooks to capture prey. The beak administers poison and enzymes to digest the meal then doubles as a straw for easy feeding. The wheel may serve as a protective mantle similar to the bony plates that protected dinosaurs like stegasaurus and triceretops. He does kind of look like a dinosaur ... no he's a wheel bug!
This hook is situated outside our balcony on a roof beam for decades now and is as of this summer holding my little LED lampoons.
Continuing a series of experimental photos with a Kodak No. 2A Brownie (circa 1915).The Brownie does not have labeled settings, so instead I will list it as stops and their modern day equivalent. If you are lost, I suggest starting with the first photo in the corresponding album.
I've always loved lighthouses, and I figured taking the Brownie out for a trip through Sandy Hook Bay was in order. Nothing crazy, but I was the only person there taking photos... and definitely the only person there with a Brownie.

exploration of an abandoned tool & machinery works
the shop floor, complete with multiple dangling chains, rusty hooks, cables and crumbling decay
...and yes, despite the great light it does look like a dungeon.
Please view it large.
A slightly alternative view of Porthgain harbour, but one I hope you'll like. This old hook was just begging to be used as foreground interest but in the end I decided to put it center stage and use the background more for context.
Got my mohairs all dyed, and began rerooting!
Rerooting is haaard :( Making the holes was bad enough but its punishment for the hands pushing that crochet hook through repeatedly!
I just have the hairline to do really, I can get away with the gaps, but I think I'll add another row in the first two gaps xD
Thats after I wait 3 days for my hands to recover and my smaller hook to arrive!

It's a good idea to give the hooks a little curl on the bottom, it will bond with the concrete and stay put better.
A nice family group, pretty certainly John Greenland Hook, wife Ann, and one of their five daughters. It is taken in teh same doorway as this earlier family photograph - www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/6597206221/in/phot.... The date is unknown, so it's hard to be sure which daughter. I feel it could be Ellen (top-left) but equally Florence and Mabel had the same curly hair.

This crochet hook head was originally about 10" long and tapered to a tiny little wedge of a crook on the end of a much larger dowel handle than the head. About 6.5" of it had been drastically tapered to the tiny head, which completely altered both the ability to hold yarn, much less consistency in loop sizes for the stitches it could make. I had to remove the original head, but also wasn't sure how much of the hook I could salvage without completely cutting it down super far due to the original tapering.
Here's where I'm at with it. The hook is now 7.5" long. The head is still tapered more than I like, but due to the original tapering, the only way I can get a bigger head and bowl out of this hook is to take it back to 5.25" long. Which is kind of short, especially compared to the original length. I will be checking with the owner to see what she thinks before moving forward on this hook.

Hook Head wild and elemental, tranquil and serene, in its serenity hides the treachery which bewaits unsuspecting mariners, little wonder that William Marshal earl of Pembrokeshire undertook the building of the lighthouse in the early 13th century as a navigational aid to guide his ships into Waterford Harbour. The tower has close affinities to Marshal castles at Ferns, at Kilkenny and at Pembroke in Wales. It appears to have been modelled on freestanding, cylindrical stone keeps known as "Juliets" which were popular in Wales and France during the early 13th century.
One of three similar images showing I'm assuming members of the Hook family outside the family home. This is a dorrway that has appeared in a number of earlier shots.

One of the few hook lifts found in the URM fleet along with an old Freightliner and Isuzu. This manual gearbox Iveco was built with a Succi frame on top and mainly pulled recycling around Kimbriki tip, but also serviced the 15m containers at the Warringah council depot when required.

This is my ninth year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the renaissance family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull-drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive and very colorful. Thanks very much for looking.
