Taken at the base of the steps to the Art Museum of Philadelphia. It seemed fitting to have City Hall composed so nicely behind a Mocking Bird.

The museum at the Big Hole has a mock underground section. It's a bit 'cheesy' but it does give insight what it must be like to be miner underground. A tough job!
Once again I was fooled into thinking a bird I heard was a Mockingbird. It happened to me out west when a Curved Bill Thrasher was singing a wide variety of songs, and now just the other day, this Gray Catbird had quite a large song list it was going through repeatedly. I've read that Thrashers, Mockingbirds, and Catbirds are all related and they all share the same great vocal abilities. Pretty amazing how their little lungs can belt out so much sound!

The Wight Quadruplane first flew in 1916 and was also designated as the Wight Type 4. The design was modified twice in attempts to improve control and performance but the type was ultimately unsuccessful. The project ended when the sole prototype crashed in a Cemetery near Martlesham Heath, Suffolk.
This mock-up was built in 1987 and has been on display here since 1988.

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.

A "practice" bridal shoot, where no Bridezillas are possible, with 2/3 professional models. After mostly bad weather, we were gifted with a double rainbow & an amazing sunset.

This mocker swallowtail butterfly (Papilio dardanus), native to sub-Saharan Africa, was seen yesterday in the 2014 Butterflies Live! exhibit at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Males have a generally uniform appearance, but there are at least 14 varieties, or morphs, of the polymorphic females, with differences in wing shapes, colors, and markings; botanical garden staff identified this as a male, so I now know the mocker swallowtail in the preceding photo is one of the female variants.

Édouard Manet, French, 1832–1883.
‘Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers,’ 1865.
Oil on canvas; Art Institute of Chicago.
“Although the art of Eduoard Manet was often rooted in references to the history of art, his subjects—parks, cafés, racetracks—were usually quite modern. Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers represents a foray into religious imagery that was rare for Manet (and for his peers in the French avant-garde). Its theme, heroic scale, and dark colors related it to Old Master paintings. Its treatment, however, reflects Manet's usual daring, his flouting of convention. Here, the viewer is confronted with a very human, vulnerable Jesus whose fate is no longer his to determine. Manet depicted the moment when Jesus' captors have mocked the "king of the Jews" by crowning him with thorns and covering him with a purple robe. Although this taunting is followed by beatings, according to Gospel narrative, Manet's three earthy and contemporary-looking soldiers appear ambivalent as they surround the pale, stark figure of Jesus. One gazes at him, one kneels in apparent homage, and one holds the purple cloak in such a way as to suggest that he wishes to cover Christ's nakedness, rather than strip him. Manet's use of stark contrasts, flat forms, and a dark palette of thickly applied pigment enhances this raw and powerful impression” (museum permanent collection label).

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
A parhelic circle and parhelion (mock sun or sundog) seen at Farnborough, Hampshire, UK on 22 July 2010.
The white arc, a parhelic circle, is a halo phenomenon that runs around the sky parallel to the horizon and at the same elevation as the sun. It is caused by reflection of sunlight from flat, plate-like ice crystals in the cirrus cloud.
The bright spot in the centre of the picture is a parhelion (commonly known as a mock sun or a sundog). Parhelia are caused by refraction of sunlight through hexagonal ice crystals in the form of flat plates.
A circumzenithal arc was also visible at the same time this picture was taken.

Beautiful and fragrant Oregon native.
Please prefer to plant natives in your yards. They are not only beautiful but also have a vital ecological function. They feed the native wildlife that they evolved together with. Biological diversity is declining with a rapid pace, and we must do whatever we can to slow it down. Best way to start might be by planting natives in our yards.

Photo from the day of the first revival of the Penryn Mock Mayor, or as it used to be known, the Mayor of Mylor. Part of the Penryn 800 celebrations in Cornwall. Organised by the Cornish Culture Association.
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.
This is a Nissan X-Trail. It will be our rental car while in Mexico.
We decided that an SUV would be better cope with the varied road surfaces in Mexico. Some roads here are excellent, some poor, some aren't even sealed.
However, all is not as it seems here.
This X-Trail is most definitely not an off-roader, but a mock-roader. No all wheel drive system, no under body protection, not even an effective traction control system.
However, in the right hands with the right driving techniques 2 wheel drive can get you to some surprising places.
