Side view of tram viaduct aka fishnet stocking (in dutch Netkous) at the Beatrixkwartier. The Hague, the Netherlands
Ein grauer, kühler Tag. Ich hatte gehofft, ein paar Pilze zu finden, aber Grau allein macht noch keinen Niederschlag - es war überall noch viel zu trocken. Immerhin ein Schmetterling, den ich vorher noch nie vor der Linse hatte.
Keine Chance, das Ding zu sehen, wenn es sich nicht bewegt - er sieht im Gras aus wie ein vertrocknetes Blatt!

A grey, cold sunday. I had hoped to find some fresh mushrooms, but grey alone makes no rain. Was glad to find at least one butterfly I haven't photographed before. You won't see it unless it moves, because it looks like a dry leaf in the grass.

A little late, but I am catching up on last week's themes.
This Giraffe has been nagging me for a couple of months to get his picture taken. When it finally was time to do so, he did not want to be recognized, because he doesn't really trust the 'leaking' interweb.
Imagine that...

On 21 August 2018, it turned out to be such a great day, with some much-appreciated sightings. I must have spent about 8 or 9 hours driving and almost every inch of my body ached like crazy at the end of it. Now, each summer, I try and do two or three longer (for me) drives, making sure I don't lose confidence to get there.
Weather-wise, it was around 24C, so not too hot. Yes, it was still smokey from the British Columbia wildfires, making distant hills barely visible and deleting mountains from view, but it didn't have too much effect on closer photography.
It was a good day for Hawks, seeing three on the way south and a few on the way home. I almost missed two Swainson's Hawks, as the hay bale they were standing on was way out in a large field. At first, I thought there were three hawks together, but when I stopped to take a few photos, I realized that there were only two - one looked almost like two hawks close together, but then I saw that it had its wings mantled. I guess it wanted to make sure that the second hawk behind it couldn't steal any of the food from it.
A lone Common Nighthawk also helped make my day. For several years, I had longed to see one of these unusual birds and, finally last year (2017), I managed to find four of them. That time was almost two months earlier than my recent find, so I wasn't expecting to see any in late August. I would still love to find one lying on a wooden railing rather than a metal railing. Last year, I got a photo of one on a fence post, but the angle was not the greatest. These birds are 9½ inches from the tip of bill to the tip of tail.
"On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but declining birds make no nest. Their young are so well camouflaged that they’re hard to find, and even the adults seem to vanish as soon as they land." From AllABoutBirds.

"North America has 13 nighthawk populations. All but one are in decline and the species is considered threatened in Canada and several U.S. states."

A Horned Lark, a Western Meadowlark juvenile, and a Vesper Sparrow gave me the chance for a photo or two, and a lone hawk I spotted way in the distance was a Ferruginous Hawk. A happy sighting, as these hawks are so few and far between.
It's that feeling of bliss, of contentment, of knowing you are forever in love. Everything is sunnier, everything a little brighter and cheerier, when you have someone to love. We took a cheery tulip print on a soft knit background and serged and snapped it with celery green. Soft but sturdy white cotton velour lines the inside of this diaper. You'll just love it. Forever.

Pure. Love. Simple. Uncomplicated. There is nothing about you I would change. Pure Love is a reflection of that simplicity, the perfection of a perfectly pure, perfectly simple, perfectly true love. With blue and brown hearts, blue and brown switched snaps, and a turquoise blue cotton velour inside, we think you'll fall in love.

The HUDSON is the Scrap Fleet's demolition workhorse - it systematically removes cubes of salvage material from drifting wrecks and transfers them to it's sistership RS UNWIN for refinement and processing.

The RS HUDSON and Space wreck (AKA Space Rock, AKA Ice House) are the two largest LEGO structures I have ever built, it has been almost a year long journey with Isaac (Ricecracker) who conceived of the idea of SPACE wreaking SHIPs. Through many ramen meals the idea of a pair of SHIPs came together.
The SHIP is about 180 studs long, and the wreck/rock is like 3 feet tall. The RS Hudson has a NXT and two powerfunctions, the wreck/rock has one - which takes a combined 24 batteries to operate XD
