The Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller (or Coraciidae) family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa.
The lilac-breasted roller could have just as easily been called the “rainbow roller.” They have around 8 colors; green, white, black, yellow, turquoise, dark blue, reddish brown, and of course lilac. That is one colorful bird!
The lilac-breasted roller has a robust body and a proportionately large, green head with a heavy black beak. It has a white chin and a white or yellow band above the eyes and beak. Its breast is a dark lilac that grows lighter towards the throat.
The abdomen and underside of the wings are turquoise, and the wings’ underside is also trimmed with dark blue. The upper part of the wings is reddish brown. Their forked tail, which is also turquoise, ends in black streamers.
This beautiful Lilac-breasted Roller was captured during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Meru National Park, Kenya.
Big double gate on rollers at the front of Z Ward. The hinge on the right is for the inset door-sized wicket gate.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
A striking multi coloured bird that is hugely territorial. Often witnessed chasing mammals and other birds, including huge eagles from the nest area.

Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
I knew I shouldn't have worn these things :P

A man operates a steam roller to compact the rock in an early morning photo.
Now that I looked up "steam roller" I am guessing this modern version is not operated by steam so would be a "road roller", though I think "steam roller" is more readily recognized as a term. See Wikepedia's link.
The Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis) occurs widely from West Asia to the Indian Subcontinent. My South African Flickr friends will see the similarity to our more common Rollers.

I have spent many hours looking for the European Roller! I had more or less given up on finding them where I was told they'd be. But yesterday while out exploring I couldn't believe my eyes when I drove right past one sitting on a pole! What a joy to finally capture this magnificent bird in a picture!
NBSR Job 207 hammers over the top of the long grade at Rooth, New Brunswick, directly into a steep downhill at M.P. 58 on the McAdam Subdivision. 6402, 6315, and 6405 are notched up with 111 mixed freight out of Saint John.
In case anyone doesn't know what the brushes in brush rollers are. The brushes are used to grip the hair to make setting easier and for tighter sets. The brushes can be removed if one finds them uncomfortable.
As with all the vintage roller types I am posting, it would be great to hear your experiences and memories if you ever use(d) these or similar rollers.

Visited my favorite candy store today - "Munson's" on route 6 in Bolton, CT - getting a tasty gift for my sis-in-law and saw this display mounted on the wall next to all the delectable sweets.
-----------------------
The first candy came to America in the early 18th century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock candy, made from crystallized sugar, was the simplest form of candy, but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich.
Then came the Industrial Revolution.
The candy business underwent major changes in the 1830s when technological advanced and the availability of sugar opened up the market. The new market was not only for the enjoyment of the rich but also for the pleasure of the working class. There was also an increasing market for children. While some fine confectioners remained, the candy store became a staple of the child of the American working class. Penny candy became the first material good that children spent their own money on.
In 1847, the invention of the candy press allowed manufacturers to produce multiple shapes and sizes of candy at once.

------------------------
The brass plate on the wall over the rollers reads:
"Drop Roller"
This machine uses changable
rollers to produce hard candy.
A sheet of candy was cooled
to perfect consistency and
fed through these rollers to
make items like "Lemon Drops".
- Circa 1859 -
The maker of this plate could have used a proofreader as there is no such word as 'changable', it is 'changeable'. No intention to be picky about a misspelled word, but, someone dropped the ball and I noticed. Was a graphic designer for 45 years and a misspelled word on anything commercially printed is mortifying, for the designer and the business that provided the product, as well as costly. Surprised no one noticed.

Then it was time for the roller coaster and it was really cool, the most realistic i have experienced here in Second Life. I rode it four times in a row!
