These little Semipalmated Sandpipers were the predominate shorebird with the White-Rumped Sandpipers in with them. They look similar but are a bit smaller with a shorter black bill but from afar hard to distinguish. These Semipalmated are common migrants through here.
Maker Faire today at Centre for Life, Newcastle. RuBot II - The Fastest Robotic Guinness World Record For Solving Rubik's Cube!
The robot holds the cube up to his eyes and then he rotates it. It appears that he's doing color recognition of each face and then it robotically solves the puzzle (no need to look anymore). So step 1, pick up the cube, step 2 get the status of the cube faces, step 3 figure a plan of action, step 4 rotate the cube back to normal, step 5 set it down and say thanks.
Happy with this - first attempt at it as well.
Generally, an okay object but if you zoom into its center, you will see the so-called "Pillars of Creation", made famous by (much better than my) images made by Hubble.
The Pillars of Creation (Eagle Nebula, or Messier 16) are a stellar nursery, composed of gas and dust slowly eaten away by massive stars. Stars are being born inside the pillars due to the gas compressed into collapse by the powerful winds from the massive star cluster. The pillars are slowly being eroded but continue jutting out into the cleared region. This object lies 7,000 light years from Earth.

The Frankfurt's people army laying siege to the Rathaus waiting for the next round of negociations. Frankfurt having a longstanding tradition as a small be free trading state, the whole Erstürmung des Rathauses is solved by negociations rather than outright assault.

Been planning to do this one for many months, could never build up the gumption to do it.
More work than my usual shot.
Tried making black PlayDoh using white and some old inkjet ink, ended up more gray.
A few weeks ago I picked up a great assortment of PlayDoh, many colors including black. So I molded and cut and pasted the thing up last week.
Got the courage to shoot it tonight. And mind you, the flash has been misbehaving.
But it got the shot, my solution for the classic Rubics Cube.
My camera for the stereo shot arrived Wednesday. A used G6. I messed around with it and got a nice shot of a Christmas bulb filled with jello. Focusing is a pain, but at first blush, the depth of field is greater than my D90.
The G6 was 135$ shipped, so a cheap camera will do a good job with this type of photo. It's all in the flash, folks.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Drusilla has gotten the hang of solving quadratic equations and loves drawing the parabola for the equation. It is so cool that the two solutions for the equation are the X intercepts for the parabola.
The name of the quadratic equation is related to the fact that you "complete the square" as you use it.

There are certainly a lot of ugly problems in the world due to a lack of water.
Here I thought that water could solve a few issues ;-)
It took more than a year, but the squirrels finally figured out how to get to the window mounted bird feeder.
I spent hours trying to solve a maths problem, then found some required information was missing. This picture shows the similar thing. Some parts are missing to complete the expected geometrical shape.
Comet/Giacobini–Zinner 21P just a couple days before perihelion moves through the Constellation Auriga in this image from Grand Mesa Observatory, taken between 2:14 and 4:20 a.m. MDT.
Captured in the early morning hours of this past Saturday, Sept. 8. 2018, the red nebulae of Auriga along with the brilliant star clusters is a nice setting for comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner. The red nebulae up and to the right of comet 21P are the Flaming Star Nebula, NGC 1893, IC 410, IC 417, and NGC 1931, then bottom right is Simeis 147, among others throughout this field. The notable star clusters are, from top down, the Starfish Cluster, Pinwheel Cluster and M37.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” ~ Calvin Coolidge
Jules Amedée François Maigret, simply Jules Maigret or Maigret to most people, including his wife, is a fictional, pipe smoking, French police detective created by writer Georges Simenon.. Actually he is a commissaire or commissioner of the Paris "Brigade Criminelle" (Direction Régionale de Police Judiciaire de Paris).
Seventy-six novels and twenty-eight short stories about Maigret were published between 1931 and 1972, starting with Pietr-le-Letton and concluding with Maigret et Monsieur Charles. The Maigret stories were also adapted for television and radio.
The latest adaptation for television stars Rowan Atkinson as Chief Inspector Jules Maigret.

Solving puzzles helps reinforce existing connections between our brain cells. It also increases the generation of new relationships. This, in turn, improves mental speed and thought processes. Jigsaw puzzles are especially good for improving short-term memory.
