Americans send their men off to war much as the Europeans did. There is not the same sense of joy in their attitude as we see in the early European sendoffs. Three years of war may have made realists out of the Americans.

اسافر معك وتساافر معايا
تراافقني في حلي وارتحاالي
اغيب واترك العاالم وراياا
ولااحمل غير طيفك في خيالي
وجوه الناس في الغربه مرايا
تصور صورتك داايم في بالي
وانسى غربتي وانسى عنايا
واحس انك معي مااهوب لحاالي
VMFA-533 F-18 on take off from NAF El Centro. The Hawks trace their history back to WWII, when they flew radar equipped Hellcats as nightfighters.
The split second Scatcherd Lane visitors Lightcliffe ended a 77-run partnership for the seventh Morley wicket during a tied First Division game in the All Rounder Cricket Equipment Bradford League. Lightcliffe required five off the last over then two from the final delivery. The ball went through the Morley wicketkeeper, standing up to medium pace, and rolled down to the boundary. The batters completed a single to level the scores but a perfect throw from the shadow of a site screen produced a run out as the visitors attempted a second. It was a stellar recovery from 2015 Division Two champions Morley, who, having elected to bat, slumped to 48-6 before strong partnerships for the seventh (77) and last (38) wickets, both featuring Luke Heinemann, advanced them to a defendable 173.
Match statistics: Morley 173 off 48.5 overs (Luke Heinemann 77, Colin Nuthall 43, Jonathan Whiteoak 6-53, Suleman Khan 3-30) 11pts tied with Lightcliffe 173-8 off 51 overs (Chris Taylor 41, Rhys Jowett 35, Ian Philliskirk 31, Jonathan Wilson 26, Kashif Naveed 3-37) 12pts. Morley won the toss and elected to bat. Admission: £2 (including 20-page programme). Attendance: 77.
Morley Cricket Club, known originally as Throttlers Off, played their first game in 1841. They were renamed Morley in the early 1850s. The club moved to their present Scatcherd Lane home in 1889 after earlier spells at Fish's Field, the Nelson Ground and Queen's Park playing fields. The spacious Scatcherd Lane site, which encompasses an adjacent ground used by Morley RUFC, was purchased for £3,000 in 1929 by the Morley Cricket, Bowling and Athletic Club. A week-long bazaar in Morley Town Hall helped raise what was then a huge sum. Shortly after the Second World War, the rugby ground was sold to Morley RUFC. In 1995, the MCBAC committee voted to allow women to join the hitherto men-only club. Morley, long-time members of the Central Yorkshire League, switched to the Bradford League in 1998. Second place in Division Two in 2004 secured a place in the top flight for the first time.
Another shot of my favorite World Showcase entertainment. These guys always put on a great show and love to have fun with the cameras.

These birds have a special place in my heart. I love their color and beauty.
The Peacock
The emerald body shimmies in the light,
He starts to walk elegantly,
Circles within circles,
Colours shine proudly,
Spring blue eyes look like a mask,
His head dancing like an Egyptian,
Feathers with eyes that stare back at you.
The Peacock
The peacock stands like a soldier,
Dressed in sapphire blue,
It shows off it’s beautiful emerald green umbrella,
Where golden raindrops fall,
It’s crown on the back of his head,
He is as proud as a King
Back to the Pelicans again. Photos taken on my trip to Queensland in July- August 2015
Today I meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same time. We have just had some lunch and now we are wanting to watch the feeding of the Pelicans here at back doors of the Charis Seafood shop. this all happen around 1.30pm except for Mondays.
The Pelicans start arriving hour or so before and wait around for their fed of fish. The fish carcass are tossed into the air, most get one fish and move off but some wait around for some more!.
Westland Lysander 'V9367' takes off from the airfield at the Shuttleworth Season Opener on 7th May 2023.
My first 'tilt' shot and is this Gemini about to take off? It must be a very steep hill and I guess buses are tested for gradients like this!
I've never taken a photo like this before and it reminds me a little of pop-art where well known images and colours are pasted together in a collage of ideas.
Perhaps the idea will take off (oops!) and tell me what you think.

Dolphin
Order: Cetacea
Dolphins are part of the family of toothed whales that includes orcas and pilot whales. They are mammals and breathe through a blowhole on the top of their head. Dolphin coloration varies, but they are generally gray in color with darker backs than the rest of their bodies.

Size The Amazonian River dolphin is the smallest of the dolphin species at five feet in length. It weighs about 100 lbs. The largest dolphin species is the orca. Male orcas grow to about 18 feet in length and weigh about 19,000 pounds!
Lifespan Most dolphin species have a long lifespan. It is estimated that some individuals may have lived for more than 100 years.
Diet
Variety including fish, squid and crustaceans.
Population
It is difficult to estimate population numbers since there are many different species spanning a large geographic area.
Range
Most species live in tropical and temperate oceans throughout the world. Five species live in rivers.
Behavior
Dolphins are well known for their agility and playful behavior, making them a favorite of wildlife watchers. Many species will leap out of the water, spy-hop (rise vertically out of the water to view their surroundings) and follow ships, often synchronizing their movements with one another. Scientists believe that dolphins conserve energy by swimming alongside ships, a practice known as bow-riding.
Dolphins live in social groups of five to several hundred. They use echolocation to find prey and often hunt together by surrounding a school of fish, trapping them and taking turns swimming through the school and catching fish. Dolphins will also follow seabirds, other whales and fishing boats to feed opportunistically on the fish they scare up or discard.
A convoy of 15 brand new DL's (with 9233 and 9193 leading, making 17 locomotives) clear the Maxwells Road crossing and head off towards Hamilton.
The blokes in the orange high-viz (on the right) were KiwiRail employees. After watching the convoy go past, I went and spoke to one of them. He told me the new DL's are going to Te Rapa for testing, and eventually Westfield. He then said that at least four of them would come back to the Bay of Plenty once they were in service.
I booked the afternoon off work, and had a lovely afternoon at the air festival. The weather got better and better as the afternoon went on.

As she swept down off the banking this incredible young rider powered around and took the lead - and never handed it back.
There were a bunch of kids jumping off the pier into the water at Old Head Beach. It was probably 15 feet or so. Looked like fun.
