The underwing of this 6-week old Barn Owl shows how the feathers grow out of the sheath, being extruded from the base. The blood supply can be seen in the bottom third of the feather as a pinkish base. When the feather is fully grown the blood supply is cut off and the feather is essentially dead until the whole process is repeated when the bird moults
1. You are a human being, with the infinite capability to create.
2. Follow your heart, soul, and express yourself.
3. Disregard what others think. Be your own judge.
4. Never measure yourself according to the rules of others. Measure yourself by your own inner-ruler.
5. And above all, create. To be of value to society is to create. Create, hustle, and never stop.
Be strong,
Eric
This Red Banded Hairstreak has two clavate antenna. These are antenna with clubs at the end. All butterflies have clavate antenna. Many moths have more complex antenna which are used to detect pheromones' for mating.
What is amazing about hairstreak butterflies is the hair like structures near the tail that are actually articulated and move independently. They are pseudo antenna that help confuse predators about which end to strike. If you watch butterflies that have these pseudo antenna you will notice that many are missing a small portion of their hind wing which means the predator struck the wrong end and the butterfly survived.
If you want to see how these pseudo antenna move here is a like to a video demonstrating the phenomenon: www.flickr.com/photos/drphotomoto/8409353055/in/photolist...
ONCE upon a time, on an uninhabited island on the shores of the Red Sea, there lived a Parsee from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour. And the Parsee lived by the Red Sea with nothing but his hat and his knife and a cooking-stove of the kind that you must particularly never touch. And one day he took flour and water and currants and plums and sugar and things, and made himself one cake which was two feet across and three feet thick. It was indeed a Superior Comestible (that’s magic), and he put it on stove because he was allowed to cook on the stove, and he baked it and he baked it till it was all done brown and smelt most sentimental. But just as he was going to eat it there came down to the beach from the Altogether Uninhabited Interior one Rhinoceros with a horn on his nose, two piggy eyes, and few manners. In those days the Rhinoceros’s skin fitted him quite tight. There were no wrinkles in it anywhere. He looked exactly like a Noah’s Ark Rhinoceros, but of course much bigger. All the same, he had no manners then, and he has no manners now, and he never will have any manners. He said, ‘How!’ and the Parsee left that cake and climbed to the top of a palm tree with nothing on but his hat, from which the rays of the sun were always reflected in more-than-oriental splendour. And the Rhinoceros upset the oil-stove with his nose, and the cake rolled on the sand, and he spiked that cake on the horn of his nose, and he ate it, and he went away, waving his tail, to the desolate and Exclusively Uninhabited Interior which abuts on the islands of Mazanderan, Socotra, and Promontories of the Larger Equinox. Then the Parsee came down from his palm-tree and put the stove on its legs and recited the following Sloka, which, as you have not heard, I will now proceed to relate:—
Them that takes cakes
Which the Parsee-man bakes
Makes dreadful mistakes. - Rudyard Kipling

How can I forget you, and you me? We use to watch each other so closely. You used to watch my every move.
How do I tell you how I miss you?
How do I tell you how fearful I am now stepping out in the world when I am not being watched by you?
How do I tell you I have lost my confidence, because all my confidence was because of you?
How can I make you love me all over again? I am willing to do anything.
How do I know what triggered all this heartache unless you tell me? I am completely in the dark.
I can't forget you. And the worst part is that I don't want to.

Poor dog, he stared out from behind the bars on a balcony near us and seemed unhappy to be there alone. It reminds me of the old song "How much is that doggie in the Window" except he is in front of one and behind bars.
"How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."
Bob Dylan - 1963
Edited by the Eastman Kodak Company , in 1963 .
From the introduction : " 'The Simple Camera' is an instructor's aid for a 12-lesson course in picturetaking . It consists of twelve filmstrips (or rolls of 35mm transparencies to be mounted as slides) and an Instructor's Manual - which is composed of this "General Information" booklet and four other booklets ,each containing instructor's notes for a group ot three lessons . The lessons are designed to teach picturetaking to beginners . It makes little difference how old a student is , or what kind of camera he happens to own . The fundamentals of picturetaking are the same - whether the camera is simple , adjustable , or automatic ; whether the picturetaker is nine or ninety ."

I learned how to make this doll size picnic table from an awesome crafter on youtube: My Froggy Stuff See directions here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=buA6S9fuFq0
I heard about her from Flavasweet. Her videos are amazing and she has the best ideas for how to make doll diorama stuff using simple and recycled items.
This is made from paper: 2 cardboard boxes, half sheet of foam core, scrap book paper, regular craft glue, double sided tape, regular clear tape, and spray paint, and hot glue.
1. Figure out the appropriate height for the bench and table top using your doll.
2. Draw a pattern for the side piece. Fold in half and cut it out.
3. Cut out several corrugated cardboard pieces of this shape. I cut 4 from heavy cardboard boxes.
4. Glue 2 of them together to make 2 sets.
5. Spray paint them.
6. Cut rectangles for your table top and benched. I used foam core, but doubled the benched with corrugated cardboard to make them sturdy.
7. Cover them with scrapbook paper that looks like wood. I found this awesome color at Hobby Lobby.
8. Hot glue the top and benches to the support pieces. Viola!!!
How Hill lies on the River Ant and is a large parkland walk area by the river within the Broads National Park. The riverside is dominated by the Turf Fen windmill, built originally in 1875 to drain the nearby marshes into the river.
