La Crécerelle d’Amérique est le plus petit faucon
du Québec. Son cri aigu caractéristique trahit sa
présence dans les champs, malgré sa petite taille.
Comme chez la plupart des faucons, on peut
observer sous les yeux des crécerelles des rayures
noires verticales, appelées moustaches.
Le mâle a les ailes bleues ardoisées et le dos brun
rougeâtre tacheté de points noirs. Sa poitrine
rousse porte quelques taches noires et sa queue
rousse n’a qu’une seule bande noire à son
extrémité. La femelle a les ailes et le dos
complètement roux et tachetés de noir. Sa poitrine
porte de fines rayures foncées. Sa queue rousse
porte plusieurs petites bandes noires.
Freshwater stingrays live in the Amazon River system and are one of the only rays inhabiting freshwater rather than saltwater. Though docile animals, they are responsible for more injuries to humans each year than any other Amazonian species. These flattened fishes have eyes on the top of their bodies with mouths and gill slits on their undersides. Their tails are typically longer than their disc width and usually have one or more long, saw-like spines behind the pelvic fin. Used for self-defense, the stinger is tipped with barbs that can rip through flesh when withdrawn. Each spine has grooves underneath that contain protein-based venom.
HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!
Paint sometimes peels in interestingly textured patterns. This is a closeup view of part of an old window shutter on an old house. The metal device at the bottom left is holding the shutter closed. Use of it has also scraped a pattern in the paint.
Thoughts about peeling paint patterns:
The properties of the paint used, the type of underlying wood, the weather (snow, rain, humid air, dry air, sun, winter cold, summer heat) and time often causes paint to peel and crack. Here, the cracks are mostly vertical and less often horizontal. The result is a textured pattern composed mostly of little vertical rectangles. It's another of the visual world's mini-mysteries, just waiting to be photographed.😎

Built in 1995 (designed by Dominique Perrault), the O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall (or Indoor Hall) was renovated by Santiago Calatrava in 2002, for the 2004 Athens Olympics. It is one of the largest indoor sports arenas in the world.

We had a recent cold spell in Shreveport - Lost our water for 5 days along with a third of the city. I liked the patterns of the ice on this bayou.
This is a close-up photo of ice patterns that formed at the edge of a stream that flows across Clam Harbour Beach.
For the Happy Caturday theme "Patterns".
Tofu's fur may be fluffy but it doesn't have much to offer when it comes to patterns. The only exception is his face with its orange "mask" and the quite clearly visible M on his forehead. Sethi with his tabby fur would have been a more obvious choice for this theme but I had to take him to the vet yesterday for his vaccination and he doesn't talk to me at the moment. :)
Happy Caturday !
Scavenge challenge - pattern. There is repetition but not in a straight line. This is one of many pieces of material ready for sewing when I know what to sew with it.
2018 one photo each day
Ok, Joe, the description is for you. This was taken from the the top of a parking deck. That's just metal lattice work in front. The bricks of another part of the building are in back. I tilted the camera a bit to give it more of a punch.
