Probe droids (also known as probots or recon droids) were droids that were specifically designed and programmed to perform reconnaissance duties. These units were often dispatched by various space navies to gather information from a variety of different locations, reporting anything of significance as defined by specific preprogrammed protocols.
Shot with the new Astrhori 18mm f/8 macro probe lens.
I reviewed this lens on my blog with the specific goal of testing how well it can get into tight spaces like LEGO sets and capture photos.

Something quick I threw together earlier this year as a joke. I ended up kinda liking it. (In other words, another build posted in order to catch up :P)
At least I found a use for those stupid stud-shooters.

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.
It arrived from outer space.
What was the purpose of this alien probe? Was it pure scientific curiosity, or was it something more sinister? Will we soon be fleeing invaders or welcoming benevolent explorers?

so as you can probally tell by the little berries on this tree branch that its been extreamly cold outside here in PA!
but im verrry excited! Christmas is my favorite holiday! everyone just is so.. together! and I loveee that i can go outside just to do something quickly like take the groceries in for my mom and then run quickly into my nice warm toasty house! I love all the pretty lights that people hang outside and the decorations!I love how people drive slower to look at them! I love how people smile at others more often.. I love the cheerfulness of people, just everything! all the memories of past Christmas's...
its just a wonderful holiday!
you know.. i was thinking today when i was talking to a friend of mine that goes to the school i am in and he asked me "If i was ready to celebrate the saviors birth!?" and you know what.. I loved how he said that becuase we really dont think about Christmas that way anymore.. we just get so tied up in the presents and family time and food.. that we dont really think of it as Jesus being born on christmas day..
i know its too early probally to start thinking about that.. but im making it my goal to start thinking about Christmas like that...becuase Jesus deserves it<3
Have an awesome day loves! and bundle up, please! i dont want you guys getting sick!<3
Redshanks' most distinctive features are their bright orange-red legs. They have a medium-length bill with an orange base to match, brown speckled back and wings and paler belly.
Redshanks hunt for insects, earthworms, molluscs and crustaceans by probing their bills into soil and mud.

Bravo to the UK for a magnificent opening of the Olympics! It was truly spectacular! The final lighting of the torch was absolutely thrilling. I'm so excited for you all.
9 years in flight, the New Horizons probe will reveal a lot more information about the dwarf planet today on July 14th 2015. I built this about a month ago for my local library for preparation of the Pluto flyby which has just recently happened. Tested my SNOT knowledge and was a thoroughly enjoyable design build.

On June 30, 2001, the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) spacecraft launched on a Boeing Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral. The probe measured small fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and created the most accurate full-sky map of the CMB. In 2003 it was renamed the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in honor of cosmologist David Todd Wilkinson, a member of the mission science team. Carrying on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), WMAP data has played a critical role in establishing the current standard model of cosmology. The WMAP mission team won the 2012 Gruber Cosmology Prize and the 2018 Breakthrough Prize. Designed for a 27 month mission, WMAP was decommissioned in October 2010 after nine years of operation.

unfortunately i didn't nail the focus and i only had 2 pieces of steel wool. this was my first attempt. next time ill have more time to get this just right.
After the assault on Hoth the Imperial probe droids were known to steal blasters from the Snowtroopers and start firing around randomly. Repairing the malfunctioning probe droids was a risky job.
There is a theory that suggests a band of rebels reprogrammed the probes to do this, but this has not been confirmed to be true.

The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket launches NASA's Parker Solar Probe to touch the Sun, Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Parker Solar Probe is humanity’s first-ever mission into a part of the Sun’s atmosphere called the corona. Here it will directly explore solar processes that are key to understanding and forecasting space weather events that can impact life on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

The arrival of September and cooler evenings brings an increase in the number of male funnel weaver spiders that decide to explore my basement looking for females. There are definitely more ladies outside than in, but that doesn't seem to matter. I found this guy on my basement wall, captured him in a small plastic food container and examined him under a 40x stereo microscope. He had evidently been in and out of the kitty litter box because he was dusted with "Feline Pine", my picky cat's choice of litter box filler. Wanting to get some close-up pics, I put him through the same cleaning procedure I used on a wolf spider several years ago... but this time without complete success. Here he's in the cup after removing all but one last stubborn piece of litter that was stuck firmly to one eye. I was using a probe made from a cat whisker taped to a toothpick, along with a small blower bulb. This worked well in the past, and the plastic cup did a good job of preventing him from sprinting away. But... the harder I worked to remove that last bit, the more frantic his panicky movements became. Long minutes of him jumping, tumbling, and skittering around the cup while dodging the whisker yielded nothing. The speck of litter was seemingly super-glued in place. I decided to try to "chill him out" by putting him in the fridge for few minutes. I really didn't like doing that, but there was no other option available if I wanted to get a good shot... without resorting to removing it in Photoshop. A few minutes later he was in the cup under the scope and I was positioning him for good access to the stubborn piece of litter. The tall sides of the cup were preventing a "low angle" attempt to pry it off with the whisker, so I moved him to a food container lid, its low lip giving me a much better shot at removing the speck. A very slow movement of the tip of one leg should have prompted me to hurry. With one leg held gently in needle-tip tweezers and the cat whisker just about to touch the speck, he "exploded" into life. My view of him through the scope was far larger than what you see in this pic, so his abruptly coming to full violently animated life was enough to cause me to lurch backwards away from the bench. Although I like photographing spiders, I really don't want them on me or in my clothes. Looking quickly around, I found he had bolted from the lid, the very low sides not even slowing him down, and was just disappearing off the end of the bench where it nearly touches the wall. Twenty minutes of hunting for him on my hands and knees with a flashlight turned up nothing. Hours later I found him on a notebook and immediately chucked him in a terrarium I keep ready for visiting spiders.
Certain spiders have modified hairs closely resembling feathers on their body somewhere. Here, tiny "feathers' are visible just below the eye with the speck of kitty litter stuck on it. The best view is at the largest size.
