Interesting trivia: this is actually a fly disguised as a bee, or rather as a strange mix between a bee and a wasp, since it lacks body hair.
It's a very common "camouflage technique" called mimicry: one species looks similar to another in order to protect itself. With bee-looking flies it's easy to spot because they fly like flies (no pun intended), hovering a lot and moving in very abrupt angles.
Church of St Peter Parmentergate, situated on King Street. Redundant since 1981 and now in the care of The Norwich Historic Churches Trust.
Monument to Richard †1615 and Elizabeth (née Hobart)†1622 Berney. South wall of chancel, next to altar. Plaster. Commissioned by Elizabeth’s brother, Edward, 1623, at her request. Possibly by a member of Edward Stanyon’s workshop.
The monument was restored by Dr David Carrington of Skillingtons in 2008. Their website includes an account of the work and a portfolio of photos: www.skillingtons.co.uk/portfolio/norwich-st-peters/
A large and impressive monument, unusual in being of plaster. In scale it fits into the tradition of monuments to lords of the local manor, and the Latin inscription notes that the deceased were Richard Berney †1615 of Langley and Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Jacob Hobart of Hales Hall. It continues that she died in 1622, and that the monument was commissioned by her brother, Edward Hobart in 1623. Blomefield notes that by 1626 the Berneys are recorded as owning Berneys-Inn near the churchyard. It was recorded in King Street from 1267 to the 15th century and the site has been identified by Plunkett as nos 86 to 90, on the same side as the church just before King Street joins Mountergate.
Richard and Elizabeth Berney lie in their dark robes on their backs, their hands clasped prayer, presumably to the haloed heads of Christ and the Virgin Mary on the elaborate decorative scroll framing the Latin inscription. Elizabeth rests her feet on a heraldic bull (the Hobart family emblem) and Richard on a bear (a punning reference to Berney). The base is decorated with simulated marble with two cherubs to remind us of death. One sleeps on a skull, holding an extinguished torch and his companion on an hour-glass, holding a grave-digger’s spade. The colour is taken up in the figures of the three cardinal virtues flanking the splendid achievement: Hope with anchor and chain, Faith, bible in hand and Charity giving suck, with another infant at her feet. The canopy, with its black Doric columns, is decorated with angel heads and in the centre an improbable plumed American Indian – a reminder of the renewed call for recruits to and investment in the London based Virginia Company.
Their coats of arms are supported by two bears, with Father Time holding his scythe above as a further reminder of death. Given the difficulty of producing plaster figures it is not surprising that the patterning of the surround behind them (based on a Renaissance model popularised by Sansovino in Venice), the strapwork of the cartouche and decoration of their ruffs, for instance, is of higher quality than the effigies. This, though, raises the question of the choice of plaster for a funeral monument. One obvious reason is cost. In 1608 Sir William Paston paid £200 for a comparable monument in St Edmund, Paston, which had combined alabaster and marble. Plaster must have been considerably cheaper and Edward Hobart may have been encouraged by the presence of one of London’s leading plasterers, Edward Stanyon, in Norfolk. Especially since he would have known Stanyon’s ceilings for Sir Henry Hobart at Blickling in 1620, as well as those at Felbrigg for Thomas Windham from 1621-23. Stanyon remained in Norfolk to produce a now lost overmantel at Hunstanton Hall from 1624-1626, which would have included modelling in higher relief than his ceilings. Both branches of the Hobarts (Blickling and Hales Hall) were descended from Sir James Hobart (d. 1517), attorney-general to Henry VII, who had moved into his major residence at Hales Hall, Loddon by 1482. Stanyon had trained a number of apprentices, some of whom would have worked with him in Norfolk, and later Apethorpe Hall in Northampton. Dr. Claire Gapper, the leading specialist of British Renaissance plasterwork, has suggested that it is therefore probable that the monument was produced by Stanyon’s team, but added that that it is difficult to be certain in the absence of any surviving comparative plasterwork.

What I’d like for my birthday
is a box of telepathy,
a bottle of clairvoyance
and a gift of tongues.
Then I wouldn’t need
to sit hunched up in my memory
staring at the screen of images
and listening to a voice
I can’t converse with –
and anything I’d say
would need no translation.
- Everything would shrink
to the biggest thing of all,
the immediacy of meaning –
but with one language still to use,
the language of touch, the speechless
vocabulary of hands.
(Norman MacCaig)

I have a lot of free time and I love editing pictures, so why not take requests? Besides I haven't done something like this in a long time and I really enjoy doing it. Leave a comment below with the celebrity you want.
P.S. If you want a blend, you have to tell me which programs (that are FREE) that I can download to make them. And I cannot gaurantee that they will come out decent so it will probably take a while. And if there's something you don't like about the edit, let me know and I'll fix it. And if it's for your twitter account or something and you want your username on it, let me know. Otherwise I will not put it on.

To all my fans! By popular request! The exalted goddess is a famous model with a major agency! She was tall, thin, fit, defined, and toned! Pretty, piercing blue eyes set against wavy brown hair! And she was a lot of fun--lots of stories and laughs during and after the shoot! Wish you'd been there!
Here're a couple of videos I shot while shooting stills, with the awesome NEX-6 and a 50 mm Prime f/1.8 lens for the rich/creamy video bokeh!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzbV8ArnBnY
Watch the gorgeous model in the Full 1080P HD she deserves! I shot the video at 60p and slowed it down to 24p in post in adobe premiere 6.0. :)
With the black 45SURF surfboard and hoodie, reading the Great Books: Shakespeare's Hamlet, Herman Melville's Moby Dick, and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
Also had a B&H CP (Circular Polarizer) on both the 70-200 mm Nikon D800 lens and the 50mm e-mount lens on the Sony NEX6.
Awesome "magic hour" light and feel in the January AM due to the strange cloudy/sunny weather! That's the glorious fun of shooting at the Malibu beach! Forecasts mean nothing (they predicted sun, sun, sun), and you have to have fun adpating to the world's greatest studio with the world's greatest lights (the sun in all its manifestations), props, and backdrops!
Combine the 50mm lens's optical steady shot (OSS) and the shallow-depth-of-field of the F/1.8 with Sony NEX-6 latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background!
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!
Modeling the Gold 45 Revolver(TM) Gold'N'Virtue(TM) Bikini!
Nikon D800 Photographs of a Beautiful Wavy-HAired Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model shot with the new Nikon D800 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens.
Shot in both RAW & JPEG, but all these photos are RAWs finished in Lightroom 4 ! :)
May the HJM Goddesses guide, inspire, and exalt ye along yer heroic artistic journey! Best wishes from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

This is one of 12 scenes displayed at various places including the Canberra Civic in 2006.
Scene designed and created by StudioM at our workshop in 2005 - copyright held. Scene sold AFTER this photo was taken to a Promotions company which put in some simplistic up and down motion by means of an overhead rotating shaft and cam system. This is a well used method to add some simple up and down motion to such scenes. Many people who saw the scene in our workshop before its sale enjoyed it in its 'frozen' animation state as shown here. It has been exhibited many times by this promotions company in many places and media. However, any claims by this promotions company or its puppeteer director to being 'the creator', 'the mastermind' or 'creative force' behind it are COMPLETELY FALSE, deliberately misleading and an infringement of StudioM's copyright. The brown book on the shelf gives the credits to the true designers and creators and by copyright law should still be there, untouched and visible. The promotions company saw it for the first time as it is shown here on delivery, and had no input into the design or creation of this scene other than supplying the bare aluminium frame and plywood floor. See note over photo and look at large size.

A customer requested Whoopie Pies; never having made them, I started testing recipes and also purchased the book on the subject. This is a tough product to get right; the filling calls for large amounts of shortening which made a cute product, but an unpleasant taste.
I finally ended up making a from scratch marshmallow style filling; sweet and light, without aftertaste.

En op:
In 1948, the USAF requested Ryan Aircraft to develop a jet-powered target drone aircraft, as it was anticipated that propeller-driven drones would be too difficult to intercept for fast jet fighters then coming into service. Ryan responded with the Q-2 Firebee, which could be launched from modified A-26 Invader drone controllers, or from the ground.
While the Q-2 was adequate, the rapid progression of aviation in the 1950s rendered it obsolete. Ryan then developed an advanced version, the Q-2C, which was larger, used swept wings, and used an uprated engine with a different style intake. This subsequently became the BQM-34 after 1962.
Most Firebees were (and remain) used as targets for weapons training, and could be configured with flares or radar reflectors to simulate different types of aircraft. If the drone was not destroyed, the controller could then cut off the engine and deploy a parachute, after which a helicopter would recover it for future use. Drone controllers either flew the Firebee from a ground station, or more often, converted DC-130 Hercules aircraft. BQM-34 drones are still in service.
Besides their use as targets, the BQM-34 series was also converted to reconnaissance duties prior to the Vietnam War. Under various codenames (Firefly, Lightning Bug, and Buffalo Hunter), a dizzying amount of Firebee variants for these purposes were built and used. Some were equipped with cameras, others with infrared detectors and signals intelligence (SIGINT) equipment. The advantage of Firebees were that, if they were shot down or crashed, there would be no loss of a pilot. Between 1968 and 1970, when American aircraft were officially banned from flying over North VIetnam, BQM-34s were used instead. Several were shot down, though North Vietnamese MiG fighters found them elusive targets; rumors persist that one MiG-17 crashed while in pursuit of a Firebee, and the controller claimed it as an aerial victory. Firebees were also used over China and North Korea, and as late as 2003 over Iraq, where they were used as decoys for Iraqi surface-to-air missiles.
As noted by the camera nose, this is an AQM-34L reconnaissance variant. It is actually a composite of several Firebees assigned to the 432nd Tactical Drone Group at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, and was displayed as something of a gate guard for the 432nd before being moved to the Pima Air and Space Museum in 1978.
Since the AQM-34s were used in combat, they were either painted black or medium gray; "Jaws" here is painted is a blue-gray pattern. Its nickname needs no explanation!
So, I run out of ideas easily and I need people to request! Comment below or send me a message with what picture you would like to see :)

Mevlana Dergahı (Dervish Lodge) which is presently used as a museum formerly the Rose Garden of the Seljuks Palace it was given as a gift to Mevlana's father Sultanü'l-Ulema Bahaaeddin Veled by Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad
When Sultanü'l-Ulema died on 12 January 1231, he was buried in the present grave which is in the mausoleum. This was the first burial ever to take place in the Rose Garden.
After the death of Sultanü'l-Ulema, his friends and disciples approached Mevlana and expressed their wish to build a maussoleum over his grave. Mevlana refused this request remarking "How could there be a better mausoleum than the sky itself?).However when he died on 17 December 1273, his son Sultan Veled accepted the request of those who wanted to build a maussoleum over Mevlana's grave.The mausoleum called "Kubbe-i Hadra" (Green mausoleum) was built by the architect Bedrettin from Tebriz for 130.000 Seljuk dirhem (currency) on four elephant feet (thick columns). After this date, the construction activities never ceased and continued in stages up to the end of the 19th century.
Mevlevi Derhgahı (Dervish Lodge) and the mausoleum started to function as a museum in 1926 under the name of Konya Museum of Historical Works. In 1954 the display pattern of the museum was once more taken up and it was renamed as the Mevlevi Museum.
While the Museum originally covered an area of 6.500m² together with its garden, with the section expropriated later and designed as a rose garden, it has today reached a size of 18.000m²
The courtyard of the museum is entered from "Dervişan Kapısı" (The gate of the Dervishes). There are dervish cells along the north and west sides of the courtyard. The south side, after Matbah and Hürrem Pasha Mausoleums, terminates with the gate of Hamuşan (Sealed Lips) which opens to Üçler cemetrey. On the eastern side of the courtyard there are mausoleums of Sinan Pasha, Fatma Hatun and Hasan Pasha, the Samahane (Ritual Prayer Hall) next to them and the small mosque (mesjidt) section and the main building where the graves of Mevlana and his family members are also housed.
The courtyard is given a special flavor with the roofed washing fountain (şadırvan) built by Sultan Yavuz Sultan Selim in 1512 and the "Şeb-i Arus" (means nuptial night or the night Mevlana passed away) pool and the fountain which is located in the northern part of the court and called Selsebil.
"Tilavet" Chamber (Quran Reading And Chanting)
"Tilavet" is an Arabic word which means reading the quran with a beautiful voice and the correct rhythm. The room takes its name from its function in the past. At present it is used as the Calligraphy Department.
The calligraphy section contains the framed works of famous calliagraphs of their time such as Mahmud Celaleddin, Mustafa Rakım, Hulusi, Yesarizade as well as a gilt relief frame done by Sultan Mahmut II. The couplet in Farsi engraved on the silver door with the calligraphy of Yesarizade Mustafa İzzet Efendi says:
Kabetü'l-uşşâk bâşed in mekam
Her ki nakıs amed incâ şod temam
(Let this be the Kaaba of the minstrels. Who ever enters here in half, finds himself whole)
Huzur-ı Pir (Mausoleum)
The hall of the mausoleum is entered from a silver door which was donated in 1599 by Hasan Pasha, who is the son of Sokollu Mehmet Pasha. Here, the oldest copies of the famous works of Mevlana the "Mesnevi" and "Divan-ı Kebir" are displayed in two glass fronted cabinets. The mausoleum hall is roofed with three small domes The third dome which is also called the skin dome joins, the green dome in the north.
The hall is bordered with a platform on its east, south and north sides. In the north where there is a two level platform, the sarcophagi of 6 Sacred horasan men are placed. Right at the feet of these, the Target Stone, made for İlhanlı King Ebu said Bahadır Khan.
There are also two framed inscriptions which are important as they reflect the thoughts and philosophy of Mevlana. The first frame is in Turkish and says:
"Either seem as you are
Or be as you seem"
Hz. Mevlâna
Second frame is a quatrain of Mevlana in Persian. In translation it reads:
"Come, Come who or whatever you are
Should you be an unbeliever, a Magian or a pagan still come
Our lodge is not a lodge of despair
With hundred repentions unheeded you may be,still, come"
Hz. Mevlana
On the high platform bordering the mausoleum hall on the east and south there are 55 graves, ten of which belong to ladies and the whole group belongs to the family members of Mevlana, and his father. There are ten other graves which belong to people such as Hüsameddin Çelebi, Selahaddin Zerkubi and Sheyh Kerimüddin who had reached high ranks in the sect of Mevlevi.
Right under the Green Dome there are the graves of Mevlana and his son Sultan Veled. The double hunched marble sarcophagus over the graves was donated in 1565 by Süleyman the Magnificent.The quilt embrodieried with gold thread placed over the sarcophagus is a Seljuk masterpiece and was made for Mevlana in 1274. When Süleyman the Magnificent had a new marble sarcophagus made over the graves of Mevlana and son, the original wood one was removed and put over the grave of Mevlana's father.
Semâ-Hâne (Ritual Hall)
The Semahane section together with the small mosque was built by Süleyman the Magnificent in the XVIth century. Semah ceromonies were continued at this ritual hall until 1926, when the Dergah (Dervish lodge) was converted to a museum. The Naat Pew in the Hall, the place where the musicians set (Mutrib cells) and the sections for men and women are preserved in their original state, while metal and glass objects and musical instruments of the Mevlevi are displayed in glassed cabinets and rugs of historical value are hung on appropriate walls of the Semahane.
Mosque
The small mosque or the mesjidt is entered from the Çerağ (apprentice) Gate. There are additional small entrances from the Semahane and the Huzur - Pir, the cemetrey. The place for the müezzin and the Mesnevihan Pew are kept in their original state.
Extremely valuable rug and wooden door samples are displayed on the south wall of the mosque and in 10 glassed cabinets put around this space, significant examples of binding, calligrapy and gilding are exhibited.
Rug And Fabric Section - Dervish Cells
There are 17 small cells, each with a small dome and chimney around the west and north sides of the front court of the Mevlana Lodge. These cells were built in 1584 by Sultan Murat III to house the dervishes.
Four cells to the right of the entrance gate are at present used as a ticket window and administration offices . The first two of the 13 cells to the left of the gate used as "PostniÅŸin" and "Mesnevi-han" cells are kept in their origanal form and presented to the public.
The last two cells at the end are allocated to the very valuable book collections donated by Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı and Dr. Mehmed Önder, and they are used as a library.
The partition walls of the remaining 9 cells were removed providing two interconnected large corridors. In one of these corridors old rugs of historical value from regions famous for their rugs such as Kula, Gördes, Uşak and Kırşehir are displayed while the other has old rugs from districts of Konya such as Ladik, Karaman, Karapınar and Sille which are centres of rug weaving. Display windows built in the window and door sills of these cells display artefacts of Mevlevi ethnography such as "Pazarcı maşası", "Mütteka", "Nefir" which were transferred to the museum from the Lodge, and the extremely valuable Bursa fabrics from the museum collection
Matbah (Kitchen) Section
The kitchen is on the south west corner of the museum. It was built by Sultan Murat II in 1548. Until the lodge was converted to a museum in 1926 the meals were being provided from here.
This section was restored in 1990 and the display was rearranged with mannequins. Cooking, the basic function of the kitchen and the "somat" the special table routine is demonstrated with mannequins. Another such illustration was attempted, to show the other function of the kitchen which is related to the initiations of the novice, called "Nev-ni-yaz", and involves practice of Semah.
