On the aforementioned Eastern Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum; Durham NC, USA), I was pleased to find:
Soft Scale Insects - family Coccidae (~1-2 mm)

A helpful entomologist on Facebook identifies as:
Brown Soft Scale - Coccus hesperidum
Some of the scale insects have been parasitized by wasps, so we have a hemiparasitic plant, a parasitic insect of that plant, and a parasite of that insect--parasites all the way down.
Three photos from a photo series on using scales to evaluate your espresso brews.
I like the American Weigh SK-2KG scale because it's cheap ($22), can hold up to two KG (wow), has 0.1g resolution (double wow) and is small.
This photograph earned a third place finish in a photography contest. Picture taken in 1982 with a Canon AE-1 and 50mm lens.
Corgi's standard black version of the 1968 Batmobile in 1/43 scale.This was the first in the 2004 Corgi Batman series. This was the simplified version of the 1966 T.V. batmobile that appeared in the comics.

This railtrack scale is located at Kepa Zawadowska in Warsaw enroute to the EC Siekierki heat- and powerplant. It is built into the track and measures the weight of 4-axle cars, which bring coal to EC Siekierki. The speed at the scale must be reduced to 3 to 5 km/h max. to allow proper operation. The length of the measuring track is exactly to match the Eaos/Eas railcars' length.
Or putain alors even. This bijou springette has broken loose from the battery housing of the digital scales. I doubt my chances of soldering sprung shiny steel back into place so it looks like in future a bit of wedgery and hope will have to do. Even if I had bothered to register at the time of purchase I guess we've had these for longer than three years. They came via an e-bay reseller that's for sure.
A handy piece of kit nonetheless for the weighing of bicycle parts and the like with an accuracy of plus or minus 5 to ten grams or so depending on how heavy the object is.
I'm alive to the ridicule of measuring such such stuff when the rider weighs in at 85 kilos but hey.
The Eastman Kodak Studio Scale. I refinished the wood with shellac to be period appropriate using real shellac flakes and alcohol. The weights were perfect per my digital scale.
Well, here's a first look at the ICG Yard on my HO Dixon, IL, layout. No scenery yet, but some of the major structures set in place. And, yes, the track is nailed directly to the plywood with no cork/foam roadbed underneath since the ICG yard perpetually looked like it was sinking into the mud and weeds. Tracks (from left to right), lead to the town track, the ICG coop track, house track, middle track, main, Mor-Milk spur.
One thing that is recommended to do before releasing hand-reared monarch butterflies is to test them for the parasite Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE for short). This is a protozoan organism that infects monarchs and a few other butterflies and severely reduces their chances of survival. It is passed from the female to the larva via spores sticking to the egg shell (which the larva will eat once it hatches). It can be especially detrimental if infected butterflies make it to wintering sites where so many of them are congregated in a small space, facilitating the spread of diseases.
Testing for OE involves taking a small piece of sticky tape and gently touching it against the butterfly's abdomen. Detailed instructions and videos can be found on the internet. This removes a few scales, but if done gently it does not harm the butterfly. When observed under a microscope, OE would be visible as small, dark spores sticking to the scales. In this case, all you can see is butterfly scales and no spores at all, so my little prince is perfectly clean and healthy and ready to go!

By observing the photos closely, I can able to pick up a few photos that my grandfather presented in the garage's shop front window. I have some of them in my collection.
I used AutoCAD to work out the size, reduce the photos to 1:87 scale. And then make a frame for each one.
