I have to be very careful picking spinach leaves. One at a time is essential and each leaf has to be examined front and back. Snails, spiders, wasps and shield bugs all inhabit the spinach bed and concentration is required to avoid an invertebrate stew.

Torah shield (Torah breastplate) is a shield that in a synagogue is suspended by chains over the front of the Torah. It is usually ornately decorated with embossing to depict symbolic motifs, such as the two columns reminescent of the columns of the Temple of Jerusalem, the Tablet of the Ten Commandments or the Lion of Judah...
from 1867-1872, old-Wien style..
CSX L422 splits the B&O-era intermediates in the community of Shields, Indiana hauling two centerbeams back to North Vernon.
B&O signal engineer Frank Patenall was on to something when he first implemented the color position light signal back in the early 1920's.
Viewed as an alternative to a semaphore signal, the color position light signal (CPL) used both color lights and position relative to a semaphore blade, to convey an aspect.
104 years later the concept still works.
L452 rolls east at a location known as Shields, Indiana and passes through a set of Mr. Patenall's CPL signals. Though one red light is out the signal still can convey it's aspect, a part of it's grand design.
This section of the B&O received APB (absolute permissive block) signaling in late 1937. After 87 years of service, the signal system is being replaced. The code line, relays and signals will be replaced by solid state electronics and satellite communication, concepts unheard of at one time.
Inspired by some newly acquired shields, I decided to revisit some old themes and figures:
Knights Kingdom II, Islanders, Knights Kingdom I of the Lions and the Bulls, and the Tournament Knight.
The water represents a drainage from one lake to another. Very many of the lakes in Manitoba are connected together by, rivers or streams.
These can be used for wilderness canoe trips lasting from several days to weeks. However, sometimes one has to portage canoe and equipment to get from one group of lakes to another. Under these circumstances it pays to travel light.

Link's shield from Twilight Princess built by Remi. Check it out in person this weekend at BrickCon in Seattle.
Essaouira is protected by a natural bay partially shielded by wave action by the Iles Purpuraires. A broad sandy beach extends from the harbour south of Essaourira, at which point the Oued Ksob discharges to the ocean; south of the discharge lies the archaeological ruin, the Bordj El Berod.[1] The Canary Current is responsible for the generally southward movement of ocean circulation and has led to enhancement of the local fishery.[2] The village of Diabat lies about five kilometres south of Essaouira, immediately south of the Oued Ksob.
Essaouria connects to Safi to the north and to Agadir to the south via the N1 road and to Marrakech to the east via the R 207 road. There is a small airport some 7-8 km away from the town, which schedules several flights a week to Casablanca.
The Medina of Essaouira (formerly "Mogador") is a UNESCO World Heritage Listed city, as an example of a late 18th century fortified town, as transferred to North Africa.
The fishing harbour, suffering from the competition of Agadir and Safi remains rather small, although the catches (sardines, conger eels) are surprisingly abundant due to the coastal upwelling generated by the powerful trade winds and the Canaries Current.
There are only a handful of modern purpose-built hotels within the walls of the old city. The medina is home to many small arts and crafts businesses, notably cabinet making and 'thuya' wood-carving (using roots of the Tetraclinis tree), both of which have been practised in Essaouira for centuries.
Essaouira is also renowned for its kitesurfing and windsurfing, with the powerful trade wind blowing almost constantly onto the protected, almost waveless, bay. Several world-class clubs rent top-notch material on a weekly basis.
Parasols tend to be used on the beach as a protection against the wind and the blowing sand. Camel excursions are available on the beach and into the desert band in the interior.
Essaouira is the site of an annual pilgrimage to the grave of Rabbi Chaim Pinto, whose home and synagogue are preserved as an historic and religious site, the Chaim Pinto Synagogue. The Simon Attias Synagogue is also still standing.

A shame that I missed the point of focus ...
So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. This guy beamed a smile at me the split second after this shot. This kind of face shield only offers limited protection against direct droplets from a cough or sneeze. Aerosols of the virus will easily get around the shield though it does make for an interesting candid shot.
His shield says "Protective Insolation Mask" which is a bit of a worry as insolation is the measure of incident solar radiation onto a specific area over a set period of time. Hmmm.
Enjoy and stay safe!
This Shield Bug was on my Garlic. It would pause occasionally and let me take a few photos.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
About as big as a finger nail on your little finger. The ones I see here at home are green and found on Hawthorn trees. This was on some grasses trying to hide!!.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Shield
The Canadian Shield is among the oldest on earth, with regions dating from 2.5 to 4.2 billion years.
"Strobilanthes dyeriana (Persian shield) is a tropical plant native to Myanmar. It is grown for its dark green foliage with bright, metallic-purple stripes radiating outward from the central leaf vein. In proper conditions, it will also produce pale purple flowers. Persian Shield grows best outdoors in USDA zones 9 and 10, although it can survive in other zones as a houseplant given sufficient temperature, soil moisture and humidity. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit."
