Janet Mock giving a talk at the Illini Union Bookstore, which isn't actually in the Illini Union.

Or, if you prefer Wikipedia:
Two negros--devil figures who provide comic relief--engage in a mock battle during the Danza de la Pluma performed by the troupe from the Zapotec village of San Jeronimo Tlacochahuaya, Oaxaca.
At first sight I though that this was a stone chat but Trevor, who has an eye for detail, disagreed and of course he was right!
It also has a very un-pronounceable Latin name!
I also noticed the lizard on the roof when I finally got around to processing the image.

The two wonderfully ornate timber-framed buildings in the middle of this Chester street scene are Victorian Tudor revivals from the 1890s. Both buildings are jettied in the late-medieval medieval style in which the upper floors extend out over lower stories. As an artifact of the perspective distortion correction I did, these two buildings almost seem to lurch upwards, especially the taller of the two.
One thing I couldn't edit out was the fellow dead in the middle of the shot giving me the stink-eye for taking his picture. Perhaps I could have waited a moment for him to pass out of the frame.
Chalk-browed Mockingbird, Sabiá-do-campo - Mimus saturninus
These were very tame around lodges and other areas with people.

My favorites:
This area of Taitung, by Jinlong Lake, seems to be a great place to find mock vipers (Psammodynastes pulverulentus). The last three times I've been there, I've found four sleeping at night and then one crossing the road in the morning. Although I couldn't get my long lens to focus correctly (I later realised it was fogged up with condensation after spending the night in my car), the snake seemed to think it could fob me off by pretending to be a twig and slowly crawled up into a bush, allowing me to change to my favourite short lens and get some close-up shots.
This little bird is hysterical. my first encounter was a ferocious screech when I let Sprocket the cat out. It turns out this is a Mockingbird and the sound it is mocking is the local bald eagles that live around the St. Johns River. I'm not sure that the cat believes its an eagle but i'm also sure the Mockingbird doesn't believe that it's not an eagle. The interactions between the two are frequent and extremely entertaining.
Here is the completed MOCked and Loaded trophy in the Battle theme at BrickCon 2015, for the build that best epitomized the overall convention theme of MOCking History. The trophy features a spaceman who is loaded (both because he's quite inebriated and because he's carrying futuristic weaponry) being mocked by a couple of colonials dressed as native Americans during the Tea Party at Boston Harbor.
The kitchen was quite warm, so I did dishes in my slip. I like how the kitchen gloves match my earrings. Christine took this picture.
Today i woke up randomly at 4.
I was amazed as i have been wanting to do morning shots for a while. But i hate getting up
so my idea was to stay up throughout the night and then go to the places i want to shoot ( thats without sleeping)( it never worked)
But today i randomly woke up and was happy.
So i went across the city taking some morning pictures.
This is the first one i have hosted
There are more to come.

We took the girls out for a walk this evening (I just happened to have my camera with me!); we stopped to chat with a neighbour when my jaw dropped at the sight of the falling sunlight filtering through this mock orange. I had to ask her to allow me to spend a few minutes alone with it :)

Growing up I remember always seeing the recipe for mock apple pie on the box of Ritz Crackers.
It tastes like apple pie, a very sweet one. The filling texture is akin to apple sauce. The saving grace was the crust which came out just right.

His song has been heard at 3 am and then all day long. I think he's afraid of missing a passing lady mocker because he's rarely quiet.
For stunning citrus fragrance in the garden, you can't go wrong with the mock orange shrub (Philadelphus virginalis). This late spring-blooming deciduous bush looks great when placed in the border, used in groups as screening or simply as a stand-alone specimen plant. They even make excellent cut flowers indoors
