The adult male of the nominate subspecies, S. e. europaea is 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a 22.5–27 cm (8.9–10.6 in) wingspan. It weighs 17–28 g (0.6–1 oz). It has blue-grey upperparts, a black eye-stripe and whitish throat and underparts. The flanks and lower belly are orange-red, mottled with white on the undertail. The stout bill is dark grey with a paler area on the base of the lower mandible, the iris is dark brown and the legs and feet are pale brown or greyish. Most other members of the S. e. europaea group differ only in detail from the nominate form, often with respect to the hue of the underparts, but S. e. arctica is quite distinctive. It is large, pale, has a white forehead and a reduced eye-stripe, and it has more white in the tail and wings than any other subspecies. Nuthatches move on trees with short leaps, and do not use their tails for support. In flight, they have a characteristic appearance, with a pointed head, round wings and a short, square tail. Their flight is fast, with wings closed between beats, and is usually of short duration.
S. e. caesia, the most widespread of the western subspecies, has orange-buff underparts except for a white throat and cheeks. The other western forms mainly differ in the exact shade of the underparts, although some southeastern forms also show a white forehead and supercilium. S. e. sinensis and S. e. formosana, of China and Taiwan respectively, have buff underparts like the western races, but have buff, instead of white, throats.
The female is similar in appearance to the male, but may be identified by her slightly paler upperparts, a browner eyestripe and a more washed-out tone to the flanks and lower belly. In the eastern form, S. e. asiatica, some males have buff underparts like the female, and birds with this appearance are difficult to sex in the field. Young birds resemble the female, although their plumage is duller and they have paler legs. Individuals can be reliably sexed as female from about 12 days old by their paler and buffer flanks, or, in some white-breasted subspecies, by the creamier hue of their underparts.
Adults have a complete moult after breeding which takes about 80 days, starting from late May onwards and finishing by late September. The moult period for Siberian birds is more compressed, running from June to mid-September. Fledged juveniles moult some of their wing coverts when they are about eight weeks old.
In much of its range, Eurasian is the only nuthatch present. In southeast Europe and southwest Asia, the western and eastern rock nuthatches are larger and paler than the Eurasian species. They also lack white spots in the tail and are usually found in a different, stony habitat, and Krüper's nuthatch is small and has a black cap and reddish breast patch. In southwest China, the chestnut-vented nuthatch is very similar to the European bird, but is darker above, has less white on the face and has greyer underparts.
Cripes! I'm shaking in my bloggy boots here! Nominated in two categories - humorous blog and blog narrative I think... was so shocked I didn't note the categories properly.
If you feel like supporting a poor, shocked, verbally-oversharing blogger, please visit www.bvnsl.com/the-bloggies/ and vote for Mericat Ireland of ReadMeri.
Also vote for some others cus they probably deserve it too...

Guesthouse Aescher, Ebenalp, Switzerland.
National Geographic has nominated this guesthouse as the most beautiful place on earth - with quite severe consequences. Suddenly tourist from all over the world booked a room in this guesthouse not knowing anything more than what was published in NatGeo. Tourists came with their elegant shoes and their rolling suitcases. But...
...this is a mountain hut not a 5-star-hotel. It can only be reached by cable car and an alpine hiking trail (roughly 1 mile and a 500 feet descent including a cavern). So hiking shoes and a backpack are the right stuff not your latest fashion wear. The totally nerved tourists jangled the innkeepers' nerves, the totally nerved innkeepers finally gave up and closed down the place. Now it was reopened as a restaurant and hostel (rooms with 4 to 15 beds). And it looks like it finally returned to be a nice place instead of a crowdy mess.
Das Gasthaus Aescher unterhalb der Ebenalp, Schweiz. Das Gasthaus wurde durch National Geographic zum schönsten Ort der Welt gekürt - mit dramatischen Folgen. Auf einmal buchten Menschen aus aller Welt ein Zimmer, ohne zu wissen, wie die wirkliche Situation dort war. Sie kamen mit modischem Schuhwerk und Rollkoffern, dann trafen sie auf das: Eine Berghütte, nur erreichbar über einen Wanderweg (über 1 km lang mit Abstieg von insgesamt etwa 150 Höhenmetern, der erst noch durch eine Höhle führt), kein Taxiservice, mit Duschen und WCs auf der Etage. Der Aescher war erstaunlicherweise kein 5-Stern-Hotel. So was! Die genervten Gäste nervten die Wirte und die Wirte gaben am Ende entnervt auf. Das Gasthaus wurde geschlossen. Neue Wirte haben nun übernommen und es wiedereröffnet. So wie es aussieht hat sich der Betrieb wieder normalisiert. Zum Glück. Das Gasthaus verfügt über Zimmer mit 4 bis 15 Betten (wie gesagt, es ist eine Berghütte...)
The Gallatin Commercial Historic District was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & C for its significance to Gallatin, Tennessee and Sumner County in architecture and commercial history. Gallatin's town plan dates to 1802 when several property owners in Sumner County (established in 1786) were appointed by the state's General Assembly to purchase 40 acres of land, lay out a town for the seat of justice, and superintend the sale of lots and construction of public buildings. Most of the district's buildings were built between 1870 and 1935. Pivotal buildings in the district are the most substantial and ornate buildings located on the corners of the square and a number of good to outstanding examples of various commercial and residential architectural styles scattered throughout. Included in the list of buildings contributing to this district is the Commerce Union Bank building located directly south of the courthouse and public square area. It was built in 1905 and exhibits great architecture of the time including segmental-arched windows, pilasters, and corbeled parapet. This amazing building and the entire district were added to the NRHP on October 23, 1985. All the information above and much more was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

I wanted to make a post like this for some time now but I always lacked the time. However NOW is the time! There have been so many comments and people supporting me lately. Not just when it comes to photography but also in my relationship with Raven you were cheering on me and supporting me through difficult and happy times. I want to thank you with all of my heart, especially those who follow me since the very beginning, when I started photography and had no idea about windlights, alpha maps or depth maps - also thank you to those who recently found my flickr and support me now. It means a whole lot to me and I am amazed by your loyalty and sincerity. Thank you for cheering on me all the way. You are amazing! Your words keep me going and put the biggest smile on my face. Honestly, Raven even makes fun of me when I answer my comments on facebook and flickr because I keep on smiling and chuckling in excitement the entire time. I never thought that I'd come that far with my photography and I'm thankful for everyone who held my hand throughout all this time and watched me grow. Thank you to all my Mentors (who might not even know that they are my mentors haha) and guided me throughout all these years ~ your amazing tips or even just watching your work from a distance helped me more than I can say. Last but not least: Thank you to my friends and family. I am blessed to have you in my life. My favorite people - you mean everything to me! ♡
Ah, sorry this was a long post. If you are still reading then please stop - just kidding! I'm grateful for your support and truly appreciate it! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you! ♡

The Hartsville Historic District located in Trousdale County, Tennessee was nominated and deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for its significance to the patterns of Trousdale County's history as a late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial center and under criterion C as a significant example of late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial and domestic architecture in Hartsville & Trousdale County. One of the more prominent buildings located on the Northwest corner of West Main Street and Broadway is the old Bank of Hartsville built in 1901. It is a Neo-Classical two-story two-part commercial block brick building with stone pedimented door surround, tripartite windows on first floor, one-over-one double hung sash windows on second floor, and a decorative cornice and parapet. Unfortunately, at the time of my photograph, it appears that the structure was not in use. Hopefully it has been restored and/or repurposed so this great piece of history and architecture can be preserved for many, many years to come.
The Hartsville Historic District was added to the NRHP on June 24, 1993. All the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

# I nominate Henry Rollins!
# Left home after fronting a small DC punk band, auditioned for Black Flag, got the gig, jumped in a van and toured the world with one of the great bands of punk rock! Throughout the years, including the post-Flag Rollins Band period, he remained consistent, constantly touring and recording, with a spirit always restless for more, including spoken word world tours, and a rather prolific book release schedule through his own press. Also, true to his word (the most intense, brutally candid person I've ever met) walked away from performing music at the age of 50, as promised. He's done music radio and TV shows, acted opposite De Niro and Pacino, worked for National Geographic, travelled alone to this planet's more dangerous locales armed only with a camera... what more do you want? Ok! He has a tattoo of a black sun covering his entire back with the phrase "SEARCH AND DESTROY" underneath! Are you down?!
I was nominated .
Number TWO.
The world seen through my eyes, was the 'challenge'.
It posed serious questions. How do I see the world?
Despite everything… I still see the world in a positive light (LOL, old, photographer’s joke?), really, I see so much beauty, in Nature, in people, in manmade objects.
And THAT is what I try to capture, each and every day.
here are certainties and fixed values… every day there is a sunrise, every day there is a sunset.
The seasons follow nicely with their different moods and colours. Aah, there it is: THE WORD: COLOURS.
Yes I see the world in technicolour, tie that in with emotion, sometimes humour and we’re all there: my world.
ART by CHANCE…
This was taken from the car as we came back from France, the sun was going down fast above Flanders' fields, it was beautiful, I chanced it...
I do not often use the word art , but this?
I think it is special, the church just sharp, so typically Flanders. It's rapidly becoming a personal favourite!
...At 70 miles/hour, there's bound to be something in your shot, or when the fraction in time and space is just perfect, yes, you guessed it, a bump or a pothole, grrr... only another type of frustration? Hihi...

The nominate subspecies of the common tern is 31–35 cm (12–14 in) long, including a 6–9 cm (2.4–3.5 in) fork in the tail, with a 77–98 cm (30–39 in) wingspan. It weighs 110–141 g (3.9–5.0 oz).
Breeding adults have pale grey upperparts, very pale grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill that can be mostly red with a black tip, or all black, depending on the subspecies.
The common tern's upper wings are pale grey, but as the summer wears on, the dark feather shafts of the outer flight feathers become exposed, and a grey wedge appears on the wings.
The rump and tail are white, and on a standing bird the long tail extends no further than the folded wingtips, unlike the Arctic and roseate terns in which the tail protrudes beyond the wings. There are no significant differences between the sexes.
In non-breeding adults, the forehead and underparts become white, the bill is all black or black with a red base, and the legs are dark red or black. The upper wings have an obvious dark area at the front edge of the wing, the carpal bar.
Terns that have not bred successfully may moult into non-breeding adult plumage beginning in June, though late July is more typical, with the moult suspended during migration. There is also some geographical variation; Californian birds are often in non-breeding plumage during migration.
Juvenile common terns have pale grey upper wings with a dark carpal bar. The crown and nape are brown, and the forehead is ginger, wearing to white by autumn. The upper parts are ginger with brown and white scaling, and the tail lacks the adult's long outer feathers.
Birds in their first post-juvenile plumage, which normally remain in their wintering areas, resemble the non-breeding adult, but have a duskier crown, dark carpal bar, and often very worn plumage. By their second year, most young terns are either indistinguishable from adults, or show only minor differences such as a darker bill or white forehead.
The common tern is an agile flyer, capable of rapid turns and swoops, hovering, and vertical take-off. When commuting with fish, it flies close to the surface in a strong head wind, but 10–30 m (33–98 ft) above the water in a following wind. Unless migrating, normally it stays below 100 m (330 ft), and averages 30 km/h (19 mph) in the absence of a tail wind.
Its average flight speed during the nocturnal migration flight is 43–54 km/h (27–34 mph) at a height of 1,000–3,000 m (3,300–9,800 ft).

After numerous complaints about my neighbors stomping at my door and pass my room; you’re not going to believe it. Yes, I am receiving retaliation, I know it may be hard to believe, but I am. My building went from being an old building (that I disproved), to a loud building now. Yes, my building is labeled a loud building now and there’s nothing that can be done about my neighbors stomping down the hall and at my door. So, yesterday I left my door open again, for hours, while editing photos and low and behold; it was a Majestic Miracle. There was no stomping down the hall, no stomping and loud coughing right at my door. My neighbors were walking pass, but no stomping. I may be quick to say this; they were almost courteous, being quiet and all.
So, there you have it; it’s not an old building or a loud building, it’s the people. When you have incompetent and unethical management, they will hide the truth at all cost. The truth is; people in Yosemite National Park are not held accountable, they are allowed to harass, mob and retaliate against anyone that may not fit into their clicks. Working and living in Yosemite will continue to be extremely Toxic, until the Superintendent’s office holds these people accountable (that is not happening). I’m trying to make this a better park for all that visit, work and live here. What is the Superintendent doing?
What is happening in Yosemite is WRONG!
Yosemite’s current Superintendent is: Michael T Reynolds
Nominated Director National Parks Services is: David Vela

The adult male of the nominate subspecies, which is found throughout most of Europe, is all black except for a yellow eye-ring and bill and has a rich, melodious song; the adult female and juvenile have mainly dark brown plumage. This species breeds in woods and gardens, building a neat, mud-lined, cup-shaped nest. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms, berries, and fruits.
Both sexes are territorial on the breeding grounds, with distinctive threat displays, but are more gregarious during migration and in wintering areas. Pairs stay in their territory throughout the year where the climate is sufficiently temperate. This common and conspicuous species has given rise to a number of literary and cultural references, frequently related to its song.
