This is the first time I have ever been able to take a close shot of an Eastern Kingbird. After the usual flying from fence post to fence post, searching for food, this bird eventually flew across the road and stayed on this post long enough for me to take a few shots. From a distance, it could almost have been mistaken for a Tree Swallow, at a quick glance.
"With dark gray upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern Kingbird looks like it’s wearing a business suit. And this big-headed, broad-shouldered bird does mean business—just watch one harassing crows, Red-tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons, and other birds that pass over its territory. Eastern Kingbirds often perch on wires in open areas and either sally out for flying insects or flutter slowly over the tops of grasses. They spend winters in South American forests, where they eat mainly fruit." From AllAboutBirds.

After two dreary days of rain, the sun finally broke through the clouds yesterday afternoon, so I decided to take a short drive SW of the city and see if I could see Mountain Bluebirds and Wilson's Snipe. These are two of my favourite birds to photograph and I was lucky to see both. However, one of my usual pair of Bluebirds was nowhere to be seen and instead, a Tree Swallow was looking out of the Bluebirds' nesting box. I did get a distant glimpse of a Bluebird and managed one quick shot, but when I looked at the photo when I got home, I saw that this male had a metal band on its leg. So, unless it had just been banded in the last couple of days, it was a different bird from the one in many of my photos. I didn't see much else during this drive, and just the usual. Felt so good to be out in sunshine, though. Pam, nice to bump into you, too!
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...

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.
Forever Love is a fitted diaper and requires a cover.
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.

This waterfall was featured in part 3 of Secret Britain on BBC TV on Sunday 29th August. Unlike Matt Baker I didn't go swimming in the plunge pool.
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
