My first Swallows of the year. Tree Swallow in flight

This morning I was out and saw thousands of snow geese and tundra swans on a frozen lake, so I was very surprised to find my first tree swallows at John Heinz which has only recently melted. It seems to be very strange to be photographing snow geese and swallows on the same day.

While there were a large variety of water fowl at John Heinz impoundment, they were all well beyond the range of my lens, so I decided to spend a little time trying capture the swallows - needless to say I did not see any roosting so I had to play with these speedsters in flight.

I feel very lucky if I get one good shot in a hundred when photographing swallows as they are very difficult to track, so I was pleased to get these flight shots of the newly arrived tree swallows.

Shippea Hill again, and another "Duff". Never cared for them at the time. Endemic. Common as muck. Now, of course, they are atypical, not at all common, and have acquired Period Charm. The design, though perhaps a trifle unexciting, had an understated good taste.

A few weeks back, when this was taken, summer was still with us. I waited on the platform, completely comfortable in a short-sleeved shirt. I gourmandised on the already ripening blackberries. It must have been the best summer for a decade or so. Now it has vanished as though it never happened. Those torrid weeks of July and August. What did I do? How did I spend the time? They seem to have left no impression on my memory.

I saw this working on Realtimetrains. Southall to Cromer and Sheringham. Something tells me there is some sort of Preservationists' establishment at the old GWR Southall shed and a "heritage" railway at Sheringham. The working returned early in the evening, so I thought I'd rouse myself and go out lineside. I wanted to try for a long-shot across one of the sour, rabbit-bitten heaths of the area. I set up shop, so to speak, and made the necessary adjustments to the camera. That sussuration on the breeze ...was it a lorry-load of pigs on the Mundford road, destined, via the abbatoir, for Bernard Matthews? An F15 on the approach to Lakenheath? No. Definitely a railway sound ...and not a "Sprinter" going to East Midlands Parkway either. Stone me! A smokebox, sandwiched between smoke-deflectors, appeared from behind a clump of willows down by St Helen's Well, leading the Duff with a couple of carriages between them. I glimpsed OLIVER CROMWELL between the gorse bushes as the formation passed. Unfortunately the resulting photo wasn't much cop ...the black locomotive being lost among the dark trees behind it. If I'd known what was coming I'd have gone for an altogether different shot.

Ebba von Eckermann is a Swedish textile designer, who had her own fashion label during 1950- 60- and 70s. The production was situated in the small village Ripsa in the county of Sörmland, but the clothes were sold in both Paris and New York. To inspire America retailers, Ebba and the photographer K W Gullers made an album with photographs and a story about the production, the company, and Ripsa.

Later that same morning the 2 remaining brothers parted company, the third minifig asked his brother if he wanted to go along with him on his idea but the other brother had other thoughts.

They parted and not many minutes later Second Minifig met a farmer on a plantation.

Second Minifig; Hello farmer, I am on my way to build a house and I see you have some sticks, may I buy them from you?

Farmer; Why young minifig, I don't want anything for them and there is plenty more where these came from.

Second Minifig; Will you be able to deliver them for me?

Farmer; I might be able to do that for you but if you have any left over, don't think you can dump them back on my land. Someone keeps dumping straws as it is!

I've also posted pictures of this barn before, which is along the same road as the church about 10 miles west of Owensboro, KY. The Audubon Parkway is just visible on the barn's opposite side.

"Say, Clint," you might exclaim. "You said you were going to go on a trip to Colorado, and yet here you are outside Owensboro. That's not even the right direction! What gives?"

Well, as it turns out, this is a different sort of trip than usual. Robin wasn't along for this one. Her spot in the passenger seat would be taken by an Owensboro person.

To explain how this happens, I have to share certain aspects of my life about which I've been purposely vague: I have kids. I've said as much before, but that's about all I've said, because I don't like to discuss my kids on the internet. For one thing, the internet is full of creepy people with nefarious motives. For another thing, the internet is permanent, and I don't want to be one of those parents who creates permanent records of children that might give them problems later on. I've likely been over cautious about that, but that's fine. I'm happy to mention the existence of offspring. I'm just reluctant to get specific.

But these days, almost all my offspring have reached an age where I'm not as concerned about discussing their presence, so here's the summary. Half my offspring grew up with me and Robin in Chicago, while the other half grew up in Owensboro with the ex-wife. For one reason or another, I never had much opportunity to take any of these kids on a trip. And to be honest, most of them felt just fine about this, as my travel gene seems to have been recessive. The kids tend to be homebodies, and most of them are happy with whatever slice of planet they've been able to see in a digital format. Kids today, you know?

But there is the one. I've mentioned that there's a kid who has gone off to college at the University of Louisville. This has afforded the child a certain freedom to travel she did not have before, so when her very first Spring Break came along, she asked me (at the last possible minute) if I'd take her someplace she hadn't seen. She'd never been west of the Mississippi, and she wanted to see mountains. I am fortunate enough to have been able to work that out quickly (mostly because I married well), so I took the college girl on a father-child trip to Colorado.

Next year, I'm hoping she'll embrace the college experience and do some absurd trip with friends, but I'm glad she thought of me on this one.

In World War II, both the carrier forces of the US Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy employed the same tactical mix of aircraft, using both torpedo-carrying aircraft and bomb-carrying dive bombers. By using both at once, the defenders would have to split their fire between the high altitude dive bombers and the low altitude torpedo bombers—either weapon would be deadly to enemy ships. Dive bombers had to be more rugged and maneuverable than torpedo aircraft, to survive the ninety-degree dives required of their mission.

At the beginning of World War II in 1939, the principal US Navy dive bomber was the Northrop BT-1, designed by two legendary aircraft designers—Jack Northrop and Edward Heinemann. The BT-1 was reliable, but underpowered, with a tendency to stall on approach to its carrier. Heinemann, now working for Douglas Aircraft, proposed a replacement, broadly similar to the BT-1 but with the more powerful Wright Cyclone. The proposed aircraft would also be more streamlined, have a larger tail, and be equipped with perforated dive brakes that would slow the aircraft in a dive and give the pilot more control. Since the propeller on the Cyclone was larger, a bomb carried on the centerline hardpoint was attached to a crutch that would swing forward and release the bomb clear of the propeller arc. The Navy liked what it saw and ordered Heinemann’s design as the SBD-1 Dauntless, which first flew in May 1940.

By the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, most US Navy and Marine Corps units were equipped with SBD-3 variants, which included crew armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, as well as .50 caliber machine guns in the wings for strafing purposes. SBDs were involved in the war from the start, and several were lost at Pearl Harbor—but as the carriers of the US Pacific Fleet escaped the Japanese attack, it meant that the Dauntless would soon be on the attack.

Over the next four years, the SBD became one of the most effective aircraft of World War II. Operating from both carriers and land bases, the Dauntless would account for more Japanese ships than any other aircraft, and flew fully 25 percent of all sorties of the US Navy in World War II. It would see action in every major battle of the Pacific Theater, including the battles of Coral Sea, Midway, the Guadalcanal campaign, Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf; the aircraft that had started the war in Pearl Harbor would end it attacking the Japanese home islands.

The basic design of the SBD did not change for the duration of the war: although the SBD-3 was supplanted by the SBD-5, the latter only had an uprated engine. Despite being given somewhat unflattering nicknames such as “Barge,” “Clunk,” and “Slow But Deadly,” referring to its indifferent speed, the Dauntless defied attempts to replace it; its intended replacement, the SB2C Helldiver, was never as popular or as capable. The SBD gained a reputation for being simple to fly and maintain, as well as surprisingly manueverable: a skilled Dauntless pilot could use the type’s lack of speed to his advantage, forcing attacking Japanese fighters into overshooting. If this happened, the Japanese pilot would find himself in front of the SBD’s wing-mounted .50 caliber machine guns, which could tear the lightly-built A6M Zero apart. Attacking from the rear was not an easy matter either, as the twin .30 caliber machine guns manned by the rear gunner were often loaded with incendiary bullets that could set the Japanese fighters afire. Even if the SBD was hit, it was found to be remarkably resilient to damage.

The end of World War II also meant the end of the Dauntless: tactics had changed, and the SBD would prove to be the last dive bomber produced for the US Navy. The SBD was withdrawn in favor of the AD-1 Skyraider. Other examples were flown by the Mexican Air Force until 1959. A total of 5936 Dauntlesses were built; 24 currently survive, with four aircraft airworthy.

This is SBD-5 BuNo 36176, delivered to the US Navy in 1944. With the Dauntless being replaced by the SB2C Helldiver, 36176 became a trainer, flying off the training carrier USS Sable (IX-81). On 12 March 1944, 36176 stalled on launch and crashed into Lake Michigan, though the pilot survived. It would remain on the bottom until 1995, when the Navy recovered the aircraft (among many others); the cold, fresh water of the lake had preserved the aircraft. It was donated to Planes of Fame East in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and was restored to static condition; the restoration would not be complete until 2002, by which time 36176 was now part of the Palm Springs Air Museum.

Today, 36176 carries the markings it would have as a trainer aboard the Sable, and is displayed with two 250-pound bombs under the wings and a single 1000-pound bomb on the underfuselage cradle; it is painted in 1944-era US Navy tricolor camouflage. We saw it in May 2021.

Tjolöholm köptes 1892 av James Fredrik Dickson med

hustru Blanche Dickson. Ett nytt slott uppfördes i

engelskinspirerad Tudor-stil 1898–1904 efter ritningar av

Lars Israel Wahlman. James Fredrik Dickson avled kort efter byggstart och makan Blanche Dickson slutförde byggnadsarbetet och

planerades i mångt och mycket byggnaden.

Stilvalet inte är förvånande med tanke på att paret Dickson båda var uppvuxna med brittiska föräldrar och bodde i Storbritannien i omgångar.

Slottet och marken köptes 1964 för 4,5 miljoner kronor av Göteborgs stad för att användas som fritidsreservat.

1987 köptes Tjolöholm av Kungsbacka kommun

Västkuststiftelsen för 10,5 miljoner kronor. Egendomen

överläts 1991 till Stiftelsen Tjolöholm, som har Kungsbacka kommun som huvudman. Samma år förklarades slottet som byggnadsminne. Den ursprungliga och mycket påkostade inredningen

från varuhuset Liberty i London är helt bevarad.

We're The Same no.68, by Matthew Sweet from the album 100% Fun

I don't have to speak and you know what I'm thinking

you don't need to hear what I say

I don't have to ask coz you'll guess what I'm seeking

you don't need to hide what you know

baby, baby we're the same

when we fail in each other's eyes

baby, baby we're the same

so you should not be surprised when I swear to you

I never told you what to do

I don’t wanna wake up today

Cuz everyday’s the same

And I’ve been waiting so long

For things to change

I’m sick of this town

Sick of my job

Sick of my friends

Cuz everyone’s jaded

I wanna break free

I’m so frustrated

I just wanna jump (jump!)

Don’t wanna think about tomorrow (jump!)

I just don’t care tonight

I just wanna jump (jump!)

Don’t wanna think my sorrow

Let’s go, whoa…

Forget your problems

I just wanna jump

I don’t wanna wake up one day

And find out it’s too late

To do all the things I wanna do

So I’m gonna pack up my bags

I’m never coming back

Cuz the years are passing by

And I’m wasting all my t-t-time

I’m sick of this house

Sick of being broke

Sick of this town that’s bringing me down

I’m sick of this place

I wanna break free

I’m so frustrated

I just wanna jump (jump!)

Don’t wanna think about tomorrow (jump!)

I just don’t care tonight

I just wanna jump (jump!)

Don’t wanna think my sorrow

Let’s go, whoa…

great kiskadee

O bem-te-vi é talvez o pássaro mais popular deste país. É conhecido em toda parte por seu canto, pelo anúncio frequente de seu nome e por sua coloração amarela viva na barriga, garganta e alto da cabeça. Tem uma listra branca que circunda inteiramente a cabeça e seu bico é forte.

Pode ser encontrado em uma enorme variedade de habitats, como campos de cultura, cidade, pomares, orla de mates e em ambientes aquáticos, tais como margens de lagoas, córregos, e rios, onde tem aprendido a capturar peixes que são acrescentados a sua dieta de insetos, anfíbios, etc.

Constrói um ninho esférico, com entrada lateral na parte superior, na forquilha de um galho, sendo bem cuidado e feito de diversos vegetais secos. A postura consta, em geral, de quatro ovos brancos e alongados. É social e vive em pequenos grupos. O barulhento bem–te-vi é comum em todas as regiões brasileiras.

Suas caracteristicas corpóreas: (22,5 cm ; 54 a 60 gramas )

Obs:. São encontradas outras espécies de bem-te-vi, como por exemplo: Bem-te-vi vizinho ( Myiizetes similis ) difere-se do bem-te-vi, em relação ao seu tamanho, com cerca de 17,5 cm ; 28 gramas.

E o bem-te-vi de bico chato (Megarhynchus pitangua ) conhecido vulgarmente como nei-nei, é bem parecido com o famoso bem-te-vi, porém apresenta bico extremamente largo e chato, e canto diferente. Sua área de ocorrência vai do México até o Rio Grande do Sul.

The great kiskadee is a large member of the flycatcher family. It is about ten inches in length. It has black and white stripes on the crown and sides of its head. It has a white line above its eyes. Its chest and undersides are a bright yellow and its throat is white. Its back and wings are brown and its bill and legs are black.

he great kiskadee eats insects like beetles, wasps, grasshoppers, bees and moths. Despite the fact that it is a flycatcher, it also eats berries, seeds, mice, frogs, fish and lizards. It also will dive straight into the water to catch fish.

The great kiskadee is named for its loud "kis-ka-dee" call. It travels in pairs and aggressively protects its nesting territory. One of its most feared predators is the coral snake and the kiskadee will stay away from anything that has the same color pattern as the coral snake.

En las notas de su canto los diferentes pueblos han creído descubrir las palabras y frases más variadas: nei-neí oían los tupís, y pitaguá los guaraníes. "Bicho feo", "bien te veo" y hasta "Montevideo" -al oído de los uruguayos- son sólo algunas de las traducciones de ese grito que los seres humanos hemos determinado, en un acto donde confluyen el humor y tal vez la velada ilusión de comprender el lenguaje de los pájaros.

Los benteveos gozan de una gran capacidad de adaptación al medio, de modo que habitan tanto en regiones cercanas a las selvas tropicales como en sabanas, praderas y estepas o sierras. De todos los miembros argentinos de la familia de los tiránidos son los que mejor se adaptan a la cercanía del hombre ya que no existe parque o plaza ciudadana que no cuente con ellos. La variedad de su dieta omnívora y de los elementos que requiere la construcción de su nido les permite vivir y reproducirse en tan distintos ambientes.

Aunque a veces se los halla en lugares secos, prefieren generalmente la cercanía de lagunas, bañados y ríos o sus inmediaciones. Es muy común verlos posados en ramas o piedras sobre pequeños arroyos o pantanos, donde pueden obtener ranas o peces.

El benteveo es un pájaro familiar para la mayoría de los pueblos americanos, ya que se distribuye por todo el continente, desde el estado de Texas en Estados Unidos hasta la Patagonia, donde parece estar ampliando su distribución en seguimiento del hombre, en nuestro País. Diferentes subespecies se reparten las variadas regiones americanas y residen en ellas en forma permanente, en su gran mayoría.

Same as previous post with added sharpening in post.
