Some odds and ends I gathered from the internet about house sparrows in the U.S..They were first introduced in NYC in 1851.They are a very adaptable bird and flourish near people. Their numbers increased rapidly.It has been suggested they were introduced to reduce insects, but it was later realized they only feed on insects during nesting season. Their main food source is seed .They have adapted well and now eat a wide variety of food scraps from people.

Early on they were not looked at favorably because they displaced nesting birds such as Eastern Bluebirds and purple martins.The bird earned such a bad reputation that in 1880 a bounty of three cents per bird was made law in Michigan.It was possible to earn $1.50 to $3.00 per day. A lot of money back then.

I was surprised at some of the information I found .. In the mid 1500s they were used a food item and served in sparrow pie. a traditional dish.The oldest recorded life span is 15 years and 9 months.

Because it is such an easy bird to observe they have been the subject of more than 5,000 scientific studies .In recent years there has been an unexplained decline in their numbers ( not in my back yard).

One of my very young neighbors told me it was his favorite bird . I was surprised and asked why. His answer was simple.He said it was because he could always count on seeing it .

Excuse any typos , I'm a hunt and pecker. Hal

I'm sorry if you don't like edited photos, but I edited a lot of photos on photoshop in the last week. I mostly made Hunger Games related stuff, like posters (like this) and a couple other things. I worked hard on this, so I really hope you like this.

Thanks for 1,000 views! :) x

A stunning example of what you can find by stopping off on your journey to the more popular areas of scenic beauty. En-route to Trollstigen, this gentle stream was discovered on the roadside, in-between magnificent hills and mountain ranges.

you come back to the same places every morning

and every night

and also a few times during the day.

and things are always different.

i want to apologize guys for being much worse contact than i used to be. and to apologize even more, because it's not going to change anytime soon, it might get worse.

i need to change a lot of things. starting here.

i need to change my priorities. change the way i spend my time.

i will keep some of the reasons for myself, but the biggest point is that if i don't do anything it will get worse with me. i want to start running. i can't, because of my ankle, but i at least want to do something with myself before i am able to do so. i want to stop using my computer so much. i realized that beside school, meals, sleep and sometimes tv i spend all of my time on computer, which means especially on flickr. i don't say it's only wasting of time, i love getting to know you, but mostly it is wasting time. i want to invest it into something bigger. i had a lot of dreams. year ago. i was someone else. and i want something from this different me. not everything, some things were not good, but i lost some of the beautiful things from myself too. i want to get my dreams and hopes back. my beliefs that everything is possible. the more my family, my mum needs me, the more i close myself in my room with computer, run away from this world. thinking i can run away from all the problems and pain. but it only gets worse with this.

i love you guys so much, you have no idea how much you're helping me.

Who is this Australian Potter? IAN LAMB by Dianne

62 9

I can't read the inscription, it has a identifying mark. I think the first name is Ian.

UPDATE: Ian Lamb is the Artist. He made this piece 27 years ago, he is a friend of my ex husband's family, and he was at my wedding, but I only ever saw him that one time.

UPDATE 2: If you read the stamp viewing it from standing on the left vertical of the photo, it is a captial letter "I" and L" for Ian Lamb.

Thoughts? (Read description) by Sammy panda legos extreme

The reason the paint looks quite unbalanced or choppy, is because I implemented some shading to the minifig. Visions suit in all films is quite frankly the same and the color of the suit depends on the light source from where he is standing or present on. Overall I like how it’s coming out and I’m still working on it. I’m still working on the arms btw. Especially the left one

Also, I need help deciding which version of Gadget to use for the LoH. I don't normally do this, but PLEASE comment if you fave. I'm kinda stuck here DX
