To be part of a video slideshow that it is making about L.A. nature. The video will feature over 100 still and moving images of different species of wildlife that are found in the L.A. area. It will be displayed on a loop in the new permanent Nature Lab gallery, which is scheduled to open in Summer 2013.

Brussels Airlines latest logojet 'The Smurf's'... (different on each side). It was previously in the original 'Belgian Red Devils' livery.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBM, this aircraft was delivered to GECAS and leased to LTU International Airways as D-ALTJ in Aug-02.
LTU was merged into Air Berlin in Dec-07. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Apr-12 and leased to Brussels Airlines as OO-SND later the same month.
It was repainted in the original 'Belgian Red Devils' special livery in Oct-13 and then repainted into the 'Belgian Icons - The Smurfs' special livery in Mar-18.
The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Brussels, Belgium in Mar-20 as a consequence of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It returned to service in Apr-21. The aircraft was ferried to St. Athan, Wales, UK in Jan-24 and permanently retired. Updated 14-Mar-24.

Another photo taken on back land near Fort Belknap. The Brazos River is about 400 yards to the right of this spot. This is an area that has a number of old rusting "dead" farm machines, as well as a few sheds and barns that aren't good for anything except serving as homes for local wildlife.
This was taken back in September of 2005 during a time of an exploding population of big yellow grasshoppers. My sister hated walking through tall grass and weeds here, always wanted me to lead the way. Nature has a way of sometimes "balancing things", which is what we saw happening here. Whatever conditions created the bumper crop of hoppers, also created a huge population of Golden Garden Spiders... which feast on them. There webs were everywhere, almost all having one or more bundled up hoppers hanging in them. This was by far the largest number of these spiders we've encountered anywhere... a true arachnophobe's nightmare, and the reason Susie had me "break trail" for her. But, whether you like spiders, or not... if you want to get interesting pics, you sometimes have to put up with creepy situations.

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus DeNoise AI 04-Dec-22.
First flown at Hamburg-Finkenwerder in Dec-96 with the Airbus test registration F-WWJA, this aircraft was used for flight testing at Toulouse, France. It was re-registered F-WWIJ in Jan-97. It was returned to Airbus Germany at the end of Feb-97 as D-AVZC for customer completion and fitout.
The aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation as D-ASSE (on paper!) in Apr-97 and leased to Monarch Airlines as G-OZBC the same day. It was returned to the lessor in Apr-00 and leased to Dragonair (Hong Kong) as B-HTF in May-00.
Dragonair was renamed Cathay Dragon Airways in Nov-16. The aircraft was stored at Hong Kong at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mar-20.
Cathay Pacific Airways (The Swire Group) closed the company down in Oct-20 and the aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-20 and stored at Marana, AZ, USA. After 24 years in service it was permanently retired and broken up at Marana in Apr-25.

The Red-winged Blackbird,
an abundant permanent resident of Florida. Among our most familiar birds, Red-wings seem to sing their nasal songs in every marsh and wet field from coast to coast. They are notably bold, and several will often attack a larger bird, such as a hawk or crow, that flies over their nesting area. The red shoulder patches of the male, hidden under body feathers much of the time, are brilliantly displayed when he is singing. Outside the nesting season, Red-wings sometimes roost in huge concentrations.
To defend his territory and attract a mate, male perches on high stalk with feathers fluffed out and tail partly spread, lifts leading edge of wing so that red shoulder patches are prominent, and sings. Also sings in slow, fluttering flight. One male often has more than one mate. Adults are very aggressive in nesting territory, attacking larger birds that approach, and loudly protesting human intruders. Nest: Placed in marsh growth such as cattails or bulrushes, in bushes or saplings close to water, or in dense grass in fields. Nest (built by female) is bulky open cup, lashed to standing vegetation, made of grass, reeds, leaves, rootlets, lined with fine grass.
I found this one singing along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
An old decrepit boat moored on the edge of the river at Orford. Its been there many years now and it doesn't look like it will be moving any time soon.
Hey my soul sister don't you look so sad
It's time to stop thinking about what you ain't got and see the things you have
Now don't you go and throw it all throw it all away
Tomorrow doesn't have to be just another yesterday
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm
'Cos I can't watch you drown away, drown in your own tears
Everybody gets hurt sometimes, and everybody has fears
You say you want to end it all, but don't you get that rad baby
Cause if you want the good things, you got to taste the bad sometimes
That's how it is
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm
'Cos I know that life can get hazy, but don't let this world drive you crazy, hear me baby
So don't let your world turn a permanent shade of blue
You've got to learn to kick the habit baby, before it starts to kick you yes it will
Don't you know you're bold enough and strong enough to fight
Someway somehow you know it's going to be all right
That's how it is
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm

Permanent Shadows.
listen here
[INTRO]
(Distorted, chugging guitar riff starts in drop tuning. Double-bass drum builds up rapidly, followed by a piercing lead guitar squeal)
[VERSE 1]
Permanent shadows!
Trembling fibers, vessels whirl!
Gnawing terrors rip through stone,
Immense fears roll into the abyss!
Malingering pestilence,
Petrified slumbers explored within—
Enraged delusions black out the sun,
Burying all in dreadful weeping!
[PRE-CHORUS]
(Tempo slows slightly to a heavy, crushing groove)
Condemning ruins deep!
Reasoning premises fall to dust!
Natures deliberating—
Tragic performances play out our fate!
Wounded whole, wounded whole!
[CHORUS]
(Fast thrash beat, soaring harsh vocals)
INFERIOR POINTS OF THE SUBJECTIVE MIND!
Infernal chaos, no peace to find!
Poetic license in iambic provoked—
Through blood and fire, the soul is choked!
[VERSE 2]
(Aggressive blast beats)
Symbolic manifestations rise!
Emanation of intellect permeates the void!
Order... HARMONY... destroyed!
Succumb to the principles!
Ethical strength forged in black flame!
[GUITAR SOLO]
(Fast, shredding guitar solo filled with sweep picking, whammy bar dives, and frantic pentatonic runs)
[BRIDGE]
(Bass-heavy breakdown with heavy cymbal chokes)
Prominent independence... SHAPED!
Ineffectual... SUPPRESSING!
Earnest pleasures... BURN AWAY!
Fluid existence... FLOWS IN BLOOD!
[CHORUS]
(Full band intensity, double-bass drums throughout)
INFERIOR POINTS OF THE SUBJECTIVE MIND!
Infernal chaos, no peace to find!
Poetic license in iambic provoked—
Through blood and fire, the soul is choked!
[OUTRO]
(Breakdown tempo, heavy palm-muted chugs matching synchronized growls)
Fluid existence flows...
LASTING CONSCIOUSNESS!
(Screamed)
INTO THE ABYSS!
(Final crushing chord ring out into feedback and abruptly cuts)
lyrics and music by Steve.D.Hammond.
"Your rainbow panorama is a permanent work of art consisting of a circular, 150-metre-long and three metre-wide circular walkway in glass in all the colours of the spectrum. Mounted on slender columns 3.5 metres above the roof and with a diameter of 52 metres, this spectacular creation extends from one edge to the other of the facade of the cubic museum building."
“Your rainbow panorama establishes a dialogue with the existing architecture and reinforces what was already there, that is to say the view across the city. I have created a space that can almost be said to erase the boundary between inside and outside – a place where you become a little uncertain as to whether you have stepped into a work of art or into part of the museum. This uncertainty is important to me, as it encourages people to think and sense beyond the limits within which they are accustomed to function.” (Olafur Eliasson)
I decided to show you the pictures I took from inside tomorrow.

"Your rainbow panorama" ist ein permanentes Kunstwerk, das aus einem runden, 150 m langen und drei Meter breiten Gehweg aus Glas in allen Farben des Spektrums besteht. Auf schlanken Säulen, 3,5 m über dem Dach, mit einem Durchmesser von 52 m, erstreckt sich diese aufsehenerregende Kreation von einem Ende der Fassade des würfelförmigen Museumsgebäudes zum anderen.
Folgendes Zitat stammt aus der Beschreibung des Künstlers von seinem eigenen Werk:
“Your rainbow panorama schafft einen Dialog mit der vorhandenen Architektur und verstärkt das schon vorher Existente, also den Blick über die Stadt. Ich habe einen Raum geschaffen, von dem man fast sagen könnte, dass er die Grenze zwischen innen und außen aufhebt – einen Ort, an dem Sie unsicher sind, ob Sie nun ein Kunstwerk betreten haben oder einen Teil des Museums. Diese Unsicherheit ist mir wichtig, da sie Menschen anregt, über die Grenzen hinaus zu denken und fühlen, innerhalb derer sie zu funktionieren gewohnt sind.”
Morgen gibt es dann Bilder aus dem Inneren des Regenbogens :o)
There was an empty patch due to in-camera deleting, but Paul Little applied his panorama expertise to restore that which was never there.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Canada Permanent Trust Building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is an Art Deco structure built between 1928 and 1930. It was designed by the architect Henry Sproatt. The 18-floor office building is located at 320 Bay Street and was built by F. Hilton Wilkes.
The building is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act since November 26, 1975. There is also a heritage easement agreement on the building, Registered C440805, since January 7, 1988. The building has a heritage designation plaque to inform the public, placed in 1978.
The Canada Permanent Trust Building is designated to be of architectural value as being one of the finest highrise bank buildings of its period in Canada. Designed using the simplified classical forms of the Style Moderne, it combines an emphasis on its vertical height appropriate to its basic form, with the impressive vaulted banking hall, characteristic of bank buildings at the beginning of the Century. The building is also important as a part of the Bay Street canyon of high-rise buildings that has come to be regarded as symbolic of Toronto's financial quarter."
