I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out
We're stressed out
According to the micrometer, the penny is not shrinking, it still measures 750/1000 inches or 3/4 of an inch.

The Pickens Anderson Job pulls out of the large First Quality Paper Company's mill located south of Anderson. This mill opened in 2010 to produce bath tissue, paper towels, and was later expanded to make shrink film, printed rolls and compression bags.
Situated in Tenaya Canyon directly between North Dome and Half Dome, Mirror Lake is the last remnant of a large glacial lake that once filled most of Yosemite Valley at the end of the last Ice Age. It is shrinking, and is close to disappearing, due to accumulated sediment from Tenaya Creek that runs through it.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
We are back from our short wintery visit to Yosemite Valley, and I hope to catch up within the next few days.

'The Journey Shrinker' is seen again working 5M17 this time a little further west than the previous shot a day later on 13th April 2021. The location is between Frisby and Rotherby just west of washtones crossing after passing over the River Wreake

Linear and inexorable, the shelf of ice grows from the banks of the Bow River to encroach upon a family of ducks.
Great and Snowy Egrets take advantage of the dead fish at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware, USA. The pond shrunk due to a prolonged drought, so the water loses its oxygen, and the fish suffocate. This is good for the birds, as it gives them a bonanza to feed on.
The shorelines of PEI are eroding faster due to effects of climate change. Weather events like storm surges and rising sea levels are causing many structures to be at risk. These causes hit the island hard because the coastline is made up mainly of sandstone and sand which does not stand up to the increased weathering. There used to be more ice in the winter which would act as a buffer from some of the erosion but there hasn’t been much ice in recent winters. Experts say the province loses about 28 cm of land every year. In some spots the shore breaks off in large chunks. One of the vulnerable structures on the island are the lighthouses. This lighthouse at Seacow Head was already moved back from the bank in 1979. Other structures that are at risk are the wind turbines and of course, many homes.

"A society defined by fences
And talking of violence
Shrinks to miniature.
When stupidity is exposed
It may become explosive."
Een samenleving bepaald door hekken
En door praten over geweld
Krimpt tot een miniatuur.
Als stompzinnigheid wordt blootgelegd
Kan het explosief worden.

Florida's bald eagles are considered part of the southern subspecies which nests in Florida, Mexico, the southern Atlantic states, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and southern California. Southern bald eagles tend to be smaller than the northern subspecies, and they nest in winter instead of spring.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is unique to North America. It belongs to a group of avians known as fish or sea eagles. Of the eight fish eagles that exist worldwide, only one, the bald eagle, is found in the Western Hemisphere.
Eagles normally nest in the same area, and sometimes the same tall tree, year after year, yet they often travel thousands of miles between seasons. As primarily fish and carrion eaters, most of Florida's nesting eagles are found within a mile of a coastline or some permanent year-round body of water. Unlike ospreys, which are often confused for bald eagles, eagles usually avoid nesting in man-made structures such as channel markers, utility poles and the like. They prefer live trees.
Florida's bald eagles nest at a time contrary to that in other parts of the country. Elsewhere, bald eagles nest in the spring and summer when food is at its most abundant. Florida eagles, on the other hand, nest in winter when prey is plentiful throughout the peninsula. For instance, in the dry winter season, fish are more concentrated when ponds shrink or dry up.
It's believed that bald eagles are able to spot items two or three times farther away than humans. Their vision, among the best of all living animals, is what the eagles rely on to hunt their prey. They typically use their feet to snare and kill their prey.
When capturing another bird in flight, the eagle will fly below its prey, turns upside down and snatches the victim by its breast. When fishing, the bald eagle is a stunning, majestic sight as it swoops down and grabs a fish with its talons, often not even getting its legs wet.
However, as Ben Franklin (who wanted the turkey as our national symbol) noted, bald eagles are of definite "bad moral character" since they steal food from other birds. The neighborhood bully, the bald eagle may swipe food from ospreys, which share the same kind of habitat, and they also steal from other eagles as well.
I found this bully along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
This is one of four young Baltimore Orioles, presumably siblings, who spent several weeks this summer visiting my yard daily. I think they must have come from a nest nearby. The four of them stuck together pretty closely throughout that time and didn't take a back seat to anyone, although they kept a close eye on the bees and wasps buzzing around the flowers. Flowers of Cup Plant in the distance provide background colour.
A beautiful sunset among the mountains of southeast Alaska. Yet the trace of glacier is frustrating, from glacier to waterfall to stream. It is unfortunate to see glacier keep shrinking over the years.
We’re still in the first week of Spring so we’re slowly saying good-bye to the snow on our lawn.

Why is World Parrot Day so important to this cockatoo?
In late 2021, the rare and striking palm cockatoo had its conservation status reclassified from least concern to endangered following a recent population drop. Major habitat loss has been cited as the primary cause of the species’ decline. Australia’s palm cockatoos are found only in the rainforests of Cape York Peninsula, at the northern tip of Queensland. Land clearing due to mining and worsening bushfires due to climate change are shrinking the species’ already limited viable habitat.
Making matters worse, the palm cockatoo has an unusually slow rate of reproduction. Females lay only a single egg every two years. Research suggests that chick loss to due predation results in palm cockatoo pairs only producing—on average—a single offspring every ten years. There are thought to be fewer than 1,500 birds remaining in the wild. (Source: www.aviculturehub.com.au/)
While photographing in the Cape York Peninsula in November 2022, we went out five nights in a row to look for these birds as they came in from a day of foraging. We were lucky to watch this particular male on several nights when he called loudly to claim his territory and bring in his mate. See flic.kr/p/2oEf6eG for a photo of the pair.
It was incredible being able to watch these birds on multiple evenings and witness a wide range of behaviors including the famous drumming they do with sticks and hard nuts; this behavior has earned them the nickname "Ringo Star."

Similar patterns are to be found in the mud of drying puddles or in cooling basaltic magma (forming polygonal columns)....
For Macromondays' "Crack Theme." This is a small section of a vase I turned out of very green wood just to see what would happen. It shrank and twisted quite a bit. The area shown is about a 1 1/4" square.
Hills composed of multicolored bentonite clays in Capitol Reef National Park- The rough texture of the surface is due to the shrinking and swelling of the clays from wetting and drying cycles. This and the chemistry of the soils makes them a difficult medium for plant growth, contributing to the barren look. Driving through this area after it rains is difficult due to the slick and sticky nature of the soil. In the distance Factory and Caineville Buttes stick up on the horizon.

A shot of the Mississippi shore in Sunset Park. Summer like heat and very little rain adds up to low river levels.
We've had a string of temps in the upper 80's and 90's with very little rain and the conditions north of here are even worse.
The river is expected to drop under 5' this week. It normally runs at 8'. The record low is just under 3'. This same month in 2008 it was 21.5'!! Picture it as high as being between the first and second story of the platform!
It's a crazy river. Send rain please.
