Description •
Easily a 18 inches tall. Was seen at Kitpopeke on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. It was 20 feet from the waters edge hunting ghost crabs.
I found this poor baby floating on top of water with his wings ripped and quickly scooped him out......he immediately crawled up on my hand.
I held him for a while as he just stayed on my hand / finger and we looked at each other.
I decided if he was making that much of an effort to live....then I had to help him a little.
When my kids were little and got sick, I used to make them a "sick bed".....with a nice warm afghan, movies, ginger ale, chicken noodle soup and a bell to ring for me when they needed me.
Since this poor thing did not qualify for a sick bed ( ; ) )....he got next to the best thing. He got a "sick box".....
We made trips out of the "sick box" to go from flower to flower, as his fully winged friends were doing. By me carrying him, it made the others not want to be around a "hand" that was trying to suck the sweet nectar out of the center of the flowers....so this guy got a little extra.
When he was finished......he'd hop back up on my hand and we'd go to another flower.
I cared for him for a few days and I went out one day and he'd "flown" all by himself up to my back deck chair. I placed him back in his "sick box" as I thought this was a premature flight, since his wings were still all ripped.
I went back in the house and came back to check on him and he was up on the lawn chair once again.....I let him stay.
A few hours passed and I went back to check on the lawn chair and he was gone. I can only hope that he is now flying free and happy and learns his lesson to stay away from pools of water....where next time someone may not be close by to rescue him........or want to make him a "sick box". ; )

I needed a break from some larger projects, so I quick threw this together in a couple hours. I originally planned to give it a dark blue colorscheme, but did not the have the bricks to do so. The picture also isn't great, but I didn't want to spend too much time on this MOC. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it though, and hope you like it!

Description • I feel this is a spiritual successor to my recent Witcher 3 shot.
Mass Coastal's "Energy" Train (successor to Bay Colony's less-semantic Trash Train) rolls south over the Back River in Bourne, Mass. This would have been a nice shot with a northbound train, but scanner chatter indicated that the crew would not be pulling loads from Otis AFB this day, so I didn't bother sticking around for the return trip. I'll try again over Labor Day weekend and hope for loads coming back.

May we all live in peace and harmony.
I'd be pretty despondent right now if I hadn't spotted this monarch caterpillar in the Pagedale Head Start pollinator garden recently--the first in several years; what with last week's headlines about a 45% reduction in invertebrates' population in the last 40 years and the likelihood of our entering a new mass extinction in general. At least planting milkweed is helping the monarch (and native bee) population recover a little.
I love hearing this when I'm painting....makes me all warm inside!...
And no its not my dad,but was someones and his kid got him a tastefull chain from argos....bless.
needing my flickr friends help (other then sending a whole bunch of lens $), has anyone tried downloading video...your suppose to be able to download up to three minutes and up to 1gig but I can't seem to get anymore then 30 seconds to download before I'm timed out. I wanted to show a short 4k segment off the same original video I took from my previous segment. The difference in the quality is amazingly better. The files are simply so large I can't download more then ten seconds of 4k although this is only a file size of 26 mb...
The (insert name) was used mainly for eva, it was used in some atmospheric combat, even though it wasn't rated for atmosphere it preformed suprisingly well. It sports a medium cannon, minigun, and 4 missile launchers.
Please gimme a name
Lilium bulbiferum, common names orange lily, fire lily, Jimmy's Bane, tiger lily and St. John's Lily, is a herbaceous European lily with underground bulbs, belonging to the Liliaceae.
The Latin name bulbiferum of this species, meaning "bearing bulbs", refers to the secondary bulbs on the stem of the nominal subspecies.
Description
Lilium bulbiferum reaches on average 20–90 centimetres (7.9–35.4 in) of height, with a maximum of 120 centimetres (47 in). The bulbs are ovoid, with whitish large and pointed scales and can reach about 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) of diameter. The stem is erect, the leaves are lanceolate, up to 10 centimeters long. The inflorescence has one to five short-haired flowers. They are hermaphroditic and scentless, have six upright tepals, the outer are slightly narrower than the inner ones. The flowers can reach 4–6 centimeters in length and are bright yellow-orange with reddish-brown dots. The stamens are erect, about half as long as the tepals, with red anthers. The style is orange, 35 millimetres (1.4 in) of height. The flowering period extends from May through July.
There are two varieties, L. b. var. croceum (Chaix) Baker in the western part of the range, and L. b. var. bulbiferum in its eastern part. Only the last one always produces secondary aerial bulbs (bulbils) in the axils of the upper leaves. These bulbils fall to the ground and mature after two to three years. When manually separated from the stem they can easily be used for propagating the plant.
The dwarf plants from the Maritime Alps, formerly described as var. chaixii (Elwes) Stoker, and the large plants from the region of Naples, formerly described as var. giganteum N. Terracc., are now considered as local variants of var. croceum.
Distribution and habitat
L. bulbiferum is widely distributed in much of Europe from Spain to Finland and Ukraine. It grows in mountain meadows and on hillsides. They prefer calcareous soils in warm, sunny places, but also grow on slightly acid soils. They can be found at an altitude of 500–1,900 metres (1,600–6,200 ft) above sea level.
In culture
The orange lily has long been recognised as a symbol of the Orange Order in Northern Ireland.
Toxicity
Cats are extremely sensitive to lily toxicity and ingestion is often fatal; households and gardens which are visited by cats are strongly advised against keeping this plant or placing dried flowers where a cat may brush against them and become dusted with pollen which they then consume while cleaning. Suspected cases require urgent veterinary attention. Rapid treatment with activated charcoal or induced vomiting can reduce the amount of toxin absorbed (this is time-sensitive so in some cases veterinarians may advise doing it at home), and large amounts of fluid by IV can reduce damage to kidneys to increase the chances of survival
Needed a good excuse to get the magnifying glass out and today's prompt round seemed like a good time.
