New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
Nev's extended family are back in our garden. No doubt scouting around for the best nesting spots for the coming season.
The limestone meets the sea at Jack Scout on Morecambe Bay. The sky was looking good for a sunset as I walked through the woods near Silverdale, so I headed here to the cliffs, only to witness another "cloud hoover" of the sky!
So looking for a bit of foreground interest I found this area of limestone with a small clump of "Sea Thrift". The rocks provide a bit of a lead into the Kent Estuary and you can see the Central Lake District fells in the far distance as the sun sets over Southern Cumbria.
Jasper likes to scout out his neighborhood. Luckily, the rather horizontal trunks of some mesquite trees provides a good place to plant the paws.
The Semipalmated Plover is quite different than the peeps migrating through Homer, Alaska. It doesn't have a long beak to sift through the mud as they do. It searches for its prey visually as it runs for a bit, then stops and looks, and then grabs at any food within range. It doesn't fly with the peeps but on its own, chirping all the while. That said, it's a marvelous bird to watch.

The Indian Scout is a motorcycle built by the Indian Motocycle Company from 1920 to 1949. It rivaled the Chief as Indian's most important model. [...]. Wikipedia

PETER:
Hello my liefste prinses Rosie, my allerbeste vriend Scout, my dearest niece Sweety and my dearest friends Luis and Bärbel.
I have a small problem and will therefore meet you a little later.
On the way to the Magic Portal I was attacked by a nasty bird. He stole two clogs which he took to a birdhouse in Mummy Marian's garden. I almost got them back and then he flew away...with the clogs.
I'm now stuck in the birdhouse and I'm trying to get out of here.
Maybe I'll sleep here tonight because it's getting dark.
See you soon...I hope
I love you all!!
I'm sending you many soft bearkisses. The most are for my dearest princess Rosie
Judges 18:2 “So the sons of Dan sent from the total number of their [extended] family five brave men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to scout the land and to explore it; and they said to them, ‘Go, explore the land.’ They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.”
On our last night in Longboat Key, Florida, we just grabbed our cameras and walked down the beach. We had so much fun taking pictures of these Brown Pelicans fishing.

Taken from the track at the top of Thieveley Scout looking down passed Dean Scout on the left to Buckley Wood and Royd Wood in the valley below. The two reservoirs just visible of the opposite side of the valley are Hurstwood on the left and Cant Clough in the centre, both are popular with walkers and bird watchers. Worsthorne Moor is across to the right of the photo.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Scout Cave is in Snow Canyon State Park near St. George, Utah. It is about 100 feet deep and 50 feet tall. The view from its mouth includes a residential neighborhood all the way to distant mountains.
SCOUT: "Hullo everyone! Look! Look at me! I'm a pretty princess with a purple crown! When I saw these pretty purple rhinestone pegs on Daddy’s desk, I was determined to get my paws on them! They make great accessories for dress-ups. Look! I made a crown!" *Preens.* "Do you think I look pretty? I do!" *Preens more.* "Who wants to play princesses with me?"
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 23rd of March is "clothes pegs". If you follow my photostream, you will be familiar with Paddy (my Paddington Bear whom I have had since I was two years old) and his friend Scout, as they often feature in stories and adventures on Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and sometimes other days of the week, such as this photo for today’s theme. This is Scout, and Scout likes getting dressed up and playing make believe, especially in furs and as a member of royalty! He is very ingenious and resourceful, as is demonstrated by the crown he is wearing, which he has created using some rhinestone covered purple clothes pegs that formerly were mine, but now are undoubtedly his, and a lilac satin ribbon. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
These sculptural gritsone tors are found where the path to Grindslow Knoll branches off from the southern edge path on Kinder Scout.

An old shot from a few years ago. A wonderful sunset looking towards the downfall on Kinder Scout.
Struggled to compose a foreground, but the conditions were fantastic.

Another side project in between commissions. The sculpting was finished a few weeks ago, but I finally got around to painting it.
I never liked LEGO's scout trooper helmet, the proportions and positioning of parts were all wrong. I was originally going to make this a decaled figure, but decided to sculpt it all the way. Knowing that walking around in Endor's mud is no clean task, I dirtied the boots and weathered the gun to make him look like he's seen a speeder chase or two.
The speeder is based off of BrickDoctor's speeder from ages ago, modified for my own interpretation. I figured if I was going to make a nice scene with this guy, it just wouldn't be complete without the speeder.
I'll post a video review after I post Rey's soon. So as always, expect more, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

This is one of many cabins that scouts use, its situated by a lovely lake.
I guess, and hope, that there has been lots of fun in this area when they have been visiting
I no longer have my original Cub Scout uniform that included Wolf, Bear, Lion merit badges and arrows, but I have retained my nickel silver bracelet given to me by my Dad.
Many good memories achieving the different ranking levels of Webelos and eventually joining the Boy Scouts (BSA).

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
Scout and I were getting a little cabin fever so we went for a ride. She was a little nervous at first but when she realized she wasn't getting a bath or shots then she was happy.
Have a great week everyone!
