Last sunday I was painfully bitten by a very small insect (about 6 mm). Because I did not recognize it, I took a picture of it so that I could determine it.
When I looked at the photo, I saw its large, sickle-shaped teeth.
It appears to be the larva of a lacewing.
He was born on or near our house and I've photographed him several times but this is my best shot to date.

This 3’6” gauge 4-8-0 wood burning loco was one of a batch built by Sharp, Stewart of Glasgow in 1896 for the Cape Government Railways, later sold to the Zambesi Sawmills Railway, one of the longest logging railways in the world. When this was taken over by Zambia Railways in the early 1970s, this loco was bought by David Shepherd and moved to static display at Whipsnade where it is seen on 18th September 1982 alongside part of the 2’6” gauge Whipsnade and Umfolozi Railway running around the Safari Park. The loco was subsequently donated to the Science Museum and has been displayed at York and Shildon.

The Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a circumpolar distribution breeding in temperate and sub-Arctic regions of Europe, Asia and east and central North America. It is strongly migratory, wintering in coastal tropical and subtropical regions. It is sometimes known as the sea swallow. The term "Commic Tern" refers to birds which are not seen well enough to positively determined if they are Common or Arctic Terns.
Its thin, sharp bill is red with a dark tip. Its longish legs are also red. Its upperwings show a dark primary wedge, unlike the Arctic Tern, in which they are uniformly grey. Its long tail extends only to the wingtips on the standing bird, unlike Arctic and Roseate Terns, which extend past the wingtips. It is not as pale as the Roseate Tern and has longer wings. (wikipedia)
The great black-backed gull (Larus marinus) is the largest gull in the world. It is 64–79 cm (25–31 in) long with a 1.5–1.7 m (4 ft 11 in – 5 ft 7 in) wingspan and a body weight of 0.75–2.3 kg. The adult great black-backed gull has a white head, neck and underparts, dark grey wings and back, pink legs and yellow bill.
Great black-backed gulls are opportunistic feeders, apex predators, and are very curious. Unlike most other Larus gulls, they are highly predatory and frequently hunt and kill any prey smaller than themselves, behaving more like a raptor than a typical larid gull. They get much of their dietary energy from scavenging, with refuse, most provided directly by humans, locally constituting more than half of their diet. (wikipedia)
The Great-black backed Gull is resident along all Irish coasts. They are a threat to all nesting seabirds along the Irish coastline during the breeding season. This adult Common Tern was letting the Great black-backed Gull know that it was not welcome at all! The Tern was nesting quite close by. Taken in Broadmeadows estuary, Dublin.
Showbus 2018 took place in Derbyshire at Donington Park on September 30th. Buses and coaches attending included preserved Sharpes of Nottingham Volvo B10M-61 / Van Hool Alizee C53F D51LWW. This coach was new to Brown of Helperby in 1987.
I was hired to do a jewelry photoshoot with a model early this week! It was a lot of fun and it left me with over 500 shots to edit.
I'll put up the link to Leanne's online store when I get it.
Morning photoshoot - that's why the light is pretty sharp.

THE TALE often told about Michelangelo forming a statue speaks of how spiritual formation takes place in the heart:
~The Lion in the Marble~
There was once a sculptor who worked hard with hammer and chisel on a large block of marble. A little child who was watching him saw nothing more than large and small pieces of stone falling away left and right. He had no idea what was happening. But when the boy returned to the studio a few weeks later, he saw, to his surprise, a large, powerful lion sitting in the place where the marble had stood. With great excitement, the boy ran to the sculptor and said, “Sir, tell me, how did you know there was a lion in the marble?” (an Old Jewish Tale)
The little boy’s question to the sculptor is a very real one, perhaps the most important question of all. The answer is, “I knew there was a lion in the marble because before I saw the lion in the marble, I saw him in my own heart.

"The name ‘Sodom’ is mentioned in the book of Genesis concerning the city of sinners that Lot, Abraham’s nephew, had to escape from after protecting his angel-guests from a wrathful mob. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were entirely destroyed by Divine Power and this mountain was there to observe the scene.
Mount Sodom is located to the west of the southern basin of the Dead Sea, and is an extraordinary geological phenomenon: apart from some thin layers of silt and marl it is made entirely of salt. During the evaporation of the previous stages of the Dead Sea, tons of salt and other minerals were deposited within the steep shoulders of the seabed.
Over the years salt accumulated to a layer of 4km height, on top of which eroded rocks and other minerals were deposited. The underground heat had melted the salt, and the weight of the rocks above creates a pressure that forces the melted salt up along the sides. The mountain is an outcome of this massive force, and it keeps rising 1cm per year.
Mount Sodom is 11km long and approximately 2km wide. The mountain top is 200m above the Dead Sea and reaches a height of 190m below sea level. Since the surface soil is made of more than 95% salt, no plant can grow on the mountain. This creates a moon-like landscape. Contrary to any other rock, the salt dissolves rapidly in water. Erosion and creation of underground cavities are more than 50 times faster than in limestone or dolomite.
The “Malch’am” (The Israeli Center for Caves Research) Cave beneath Mount Sodom is the longest known cave in Israel, and the longest single natural salt cave in the world. It is 5,500m long and is full of breath-taking salt stalactites, with endless vertical and horizontal volumes."

We have both the sharp-shinned and Coopers visiting our backyard. It’s sometimes hard to tell them apart. This one was only about 12 inches from head to tail so concluded he/she was a sharp-shinned. Marion County, Oregon.
Little Hiddles finally has a body! It took a bit of doing, getting the bits to fit together right, and then getting the clothes to lay right, but he looks quite the dapper tiny plastic gentleman, wouldn't you say?
I was iffy about that head with its somber expression and lack of facial hair, but seeing him put together, well, I love him to bits.
Roger decided to add his TV to our picture of our TV on TV. Yo dawg.
So yes - three different Sharp Aquos TVs here!

BACKSTORY: While rewatching Get Him To The Greek (which we rate 5/5 stars on Netflix, and 9/10[Clint] and 10/10[Carolyn] on IMDB), they showed a shot of the TV. It just happened to be*our* TV, a Sharp Aquos flatscreen. So we took a picture of our TV within our TV. We must have missed this the first time we watched the movie.
This happened a bunch in 2009, so we have several recursive shots of our TV on TV. www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/tags/sharpaquostv/
