These are mods of Artasid's Hover Frames.
No change to the core here: I've just added huge arms and legs to make a heavy construction frame.

The hover fly is a bee mimic. It gains protection from potential predators by mimicing the color pattern of a stinging bee. I still cringe at the thought of one landing on me even though I know that it has no stinger. This one also buzzes very loudly like a fierce bee!
Taken from 26,500' aboard UA5, coasting into London LHR from Houston IAH, this landscape shows Dorset mostly north of Blandford Forum which is the town just off-centre in the photo. I have added a few place locations. Hover the mouse over the photo to see them.

No more expensive tires! Greater comfort and ride-handling! Each kit is custom-designed for the classic auto of choice, and once prototyped, will be available in SCI inventory until all documented examples of that make/model are extinct.

So yesterday I dropped my camera with my favorite lens attached. The camera is fine but the lens didn't do to well. Instead of crying over the lens any longer this morning I decided that I would just try out something new. A while back I bought some magnifying lenses but never really used them. I didn't realize how close you have to get to focus, so I thought that they weren't very good. I was on my tummy about 1 inch away from these guys while they were having their morning picnic. They were so tiny, this little weed head is about 1/2 an inch tall.
Three different species of hummingbirds, all hovering over the feeder (off the photo below), are jostling for position and dominance. The Fawn-breasted Brilliant is the large hummer on the left, the delicate center bird is the Andean Emerald, interacting with the male Booted Racket-tail on the right. The Booted Racket-tail is missing his long tail feathers, and is probably a juvenile just beginning to grow them in.

Fossil Hover Fly. This insect, found in the Green River Formation, lived during Eocene time, around 45-50 million years ago. The specimen is about 1.5 cm long. Douglas Pass. Garfield Co., Colo.
No time to waste. Have to be on the go. Always. Meals? On the go. We are so good at this, and have perfected it so well, the Homo sapiens are studying us. I hear they have what they call drive-throughs. Well, the day they get hover-throughs is the day they will have gotten to our level. See you later. Off to my next appointment!
. . . The Rough-legged Hawk has the rare ability to hover in place looking for food, without expending hardly any energy to do so! Hummingbirds hover also, but move their wings in a figure 8 pattern to get lift on every forward and backward stroke.
Without so much as a single flap, this bird maintained it's position for about 30 seconds without moving by using it's huge wingspan and spreading it's primary flight feathers to get more lift. The wind was blowing perhaps only 5 mph!
Have a great weekend Facebook, 500px, and Flickr friends!
My previous shot at Golden Ponds warned us of change in the valley. A few days brought another Colorado weather swing and a shaky landing. The later date revealed a juvenile bald eagle at working on his landing licks. One pass over the pond garnered nothing in the way of fish. Oh well, just as well perch a spell and keep an eagle eye across the pond. Boy has the weather ever bounced back and forth in the valley after warnings about the monster storm brewing off California. This baldy was competing with several others casting lures and flies from from the banks.
On the other hand, the snowplow crews tunneled through and cleaned snow from the big avalanche chute on Red Mountain Pass after torpedoing the usual slides. Now they only need to remove the spots where road is covered with 60 feet of snow. They are actually targeting sometime on April for an opening date. Others target later summer dates. Red Mountain Pass holds the record for the shortest longevity of snow plow drivers. HA! Should there be a road there at all? See my retouch of a C.W.Cross USGS shot of the area in comments.
I usually go wandering when I see that powerful skies might develop. I added to my stash of skies down at Golden Ponds after I worried about the Mac Lake sky. Golden Ponds and Mac Lake offer open vistas even at the widest of angles on my lens. I grabbed a variety of them to edit & post while I prep for some other shots.
I slapped my buns then headed to Golden Ponds for some degree of exercise and a good walk. I got outta here a few times each month. I hope to bail more with the final sputterings of winter this year. All the Colorado newbies complain about the
I decided upon a ready-for-market series. I recently traveled to the Hover mansion/experimental farmstead started in the early Twentieth century. The Hover farm produced specialty and hybridized seed stock. Ensilage from the cutter, left, was stored in the silo and grains were stored in the granaries. Area farmers could back their wagons up, buy and load their specialty seed stock from the mill/granaries. I suppose that the structures were rather diminutive because it dispensed specialty seed grains that were meant to be replanted.
Much of the Hover Farm production was devoted to developing seed crops like the pure Marquis wheat and Wisconsin Pedigree grown to be sold as seed. Hover experimented to develop new rust resistant strains of wheat. He used a seed cleaning machine and sacked the seed for sale for the next year's crop. Hover also processed corn, oats and barley that was stored in various sections in his on-site mill using his agricultural leg elevator... Hover Home, Longmont Historical Society.
From the Hover Home web site: "In the early 1900's, Charles and Catherine Hover came to Colorado from Chicago. Charles was semi-retired after having had a very successful and lucrative career as a wholesale pharmaceutical salesman. He moved to Denver where he helped his brother part time, who was in the same business of pharmaceutical sales. The Hovers were in Denver a relatively short period of time when Charles' health began to fail. They moved to Longmont and bought the property on the west side of town in hopes that Charles' health would improve with "country living."
The Hovers lived a quiet country life on the outskirts of Longmont. Their property included many acres west of a line that now extends from Mountain View Avenue to Highway 66. Charles dabbled at being a "gentleman farmer" and shared the profits of the crops raised on the land 50-50 with his tenant farmers.
Construction of the Hover home took four years to complete and was ready for their occupancy in 1912. The beautiful, Tudor style Hover home consists of 3,500 square feet of living space and includes many "modern" conveniences that were unheard of and considered quite eccentric and extravagant at the time. "The total cost of the home in 1912 was $25,000."
