The ukulele is a member of the lute family of instruments. It generally employs four nylon strings.
The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete,
a small guitar-like instrument, which was introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants,
mainly from Madeira and the Azores. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States
during the early 20th century and from there spread internationally.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction.
Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.

Osterospermum Soprano
(African Daisy) SOPRANO® White Osteospermum displays crisp white daisy-like flowers with a lovely violet- purple eye that bloom from spring until fall. SOPRANO® White is a low maintenance plant that does not require deadheading for continuous bloom. New flowers will quickly cover old flowers to keep the plant looking its best. SOPRANO® White is a compact grower with a height of 6-10″ and will grow best in full sun to part shade locations. Use SOPRANO® White in hanging baskets, window boxes, landscape beds and combination planters.

Bought some flowers at Lowes the other day to fill in some hanging baskets. Probably not an ideal hanging basket flower, but I couldn't pass up this interesting flower. It seems to be doing well so far.

A few weeks earlier, I was lopping off the lower pine branches, unknowingly I scared the heck out of the mommy cardinal in a nest a foot away (and she really startled and scared me, too, with her loud fluttering and screaming). Surprisingly, she came back and built another nest a few feet away. I got to watch for the first time this amazing event. I did not take as many pictures, afraid the neighbors think I was strange standing on a 6-ft ladder in my front yard, with cars driving by. :). Who needs pride, anyway, when you're a die-hard Flickr photographer? :)
I changed from the original title "The Three Tenors", because it's not as original (somebody else already used it); and the pitch these babies make is much closer to soprano. :)

This is a Brahminy starling or Brahminy myna, a bird of the Indian subcontinent. They are among my favourite birds at our zoo because they are such characters and quite expressive. I add another capture in the comments, it shows the same bird and was taken shortly after the first one. Yeah, I probably should have applauded although they don't have the sweetest voices of the bird world.

Henriette Sontag lebte von 1806–1854. Sie ar eine deutsche Opernsängerin (Koloratursopran, soprano sfogato) von internationalem Renommee. Sie war vor allem für ihre Interpretationen in Opern von Rossini, Donizetti und Bellini bekannt. In Prag wurde sie von Carl Maria von Weber entdeckt und er ließ sie mit 17 Jahren die Titelrolle in seiner Oper Euryanthe singen. Noch im selben Jahr nahm sie zusammen mit ihrer Mutter ein Engagement an der Deutschen Oper in Wien an. Am 7. Mai 1824 sang sie die Sopran-Partie in der Uraufführung von Ludwig van Beethovens Symphonie Nr. 9 im Kärntnertortheater in Wien. Nach Beendigung der Sinfonie drehte sie zusammen mit der Sängerin Caroline Unger den gehörlosen Beethoven zu dem Beifall klatschenden Publikum um. Nach ihrer Hochzeit 1828 in Paris mit dem Diplomaten und sardinischen Gesandten in Berlin Graf Carlo Rossi zog sie sich völlig von der Bühne zurück.1828 machte Hermann von Pückler-Muskau Henriette Sontag einen Heiratsantrag, den sie wegen schon bestehender Ehe abwies. 1861 ließ er im „ersten Blumengarten“ seines Branitzer Parks eine vergoldete Büste der Primadonna im allseitig offenen, mit Rosen umrankten Henriette-Sontag-Kiosk aufstellen. Am 22. August 1831 verlieh ihr der preußische König Friedrich Wilhelm III. ein Adelsdiplom, sodass sie sich seitdem Henriette von Klarenstein (anderen Quellen zufolge Gräfin von Lauenstein) nennen durfte. Bis 1848 sang Henriette Sontag, Ehefrau und Mutter von sieben Kindern, weiterhin privat vor Freunden. Als die Familie durch die politischen Umstände der Revolution von 1848 ihr gesamtes Vermögen verlor, versuchte Sontag ein künstlerisches Comeback. Trotz der sehr langen Abwesenheit von der Bühne konnte Sontag an ihre alten Erfolge anknüpfen. 1852 unternahm sie mit sensationellem Erfolg eine Tournee durch die USA mit Vorbild Jenny Lind als dort erfolgreicher europäischer Sängerin. Nach ihrer Hochzeit 1828 in Paris mit dem Diplomaten und sardinischen Gesandten in Berlin[12] Graf Carlo Rossi, dem Bruder der Fürstin Flaminia zu Salm-Salm, Neffe von Félix Baciocchi, später Botschafter des Königreichs Sardinien-Piemont in Den Haag, zog sie sich völlig von der Bühne zurück .1828 machte Hermann von Pückler-Muskau Henriette Sontag einen Heiratsantrag, den sie wegen schon bestehender Ehe abwies. 1861 ließ er im „ersten Blumengarten“ seines Branitzer Parks eine vergoldete Büste der Primadonna im allseitig offenen, mit Rosen umrankten Henriette-Sontag-Kiosk aufstellen. 1831 verlieh ihr der preußische König Friedrich Wilhelm III. ein Adelsdiplom, sodass sie sich seitdem Henriette von Klarenstein (anderen Quellen zufolge Gräfin von Lauenstein) nennen durfte.

Henriette Sontag lived from 1806-1854 and was a German opera singer (colouratura soprano, soprano sfogato) of international renown. She was best known for her interpretations in operas by Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini. In Prague, she was discovered by Carl Maria von Weber, who had her sing the title role in his opera Euryanthe at the age of 17. In the same year, she and her mother accepted an engagement at the Deutsche Oper in Vienna. On 7 May 1824, she sang the soprano part in the world premiere of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna. At the end of the symphony, she and the singer Caroline Unger turned the deaf Beethoven round to the applauding audience. After her marriage in Paris in 1828 to the diplomat and Sardinian envoy in Berlin Count Carlo Rossi, she withdrew completely from the stage. In 1828 Hermann von Pückler-Muskau proposed to Henriette Sontag, which she turned down because she was already married. In 1861, he had a gilded bust of the prima donna erected in the ‘first flower garden’ of his Branitz park in the Henriette Sontag kiosk, which was open on all sides and entwined with roses. In 1831, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III awarded her a diploma of nobility, allowing her to call herself Henriette von Klarenstein (according to other sources, Countess von Lauenstein). Henriette Sontag, wife and mother of seven children, continued to sing privately to friends until 1848. When the family lost their entire fortune due to the political circumstances of the 1848 revolution, Sontag attempted an artistic comeback. Despite her very long absence from the stage, Sontag was able to build on her old successes. In 1852, she undertook a sensationally successful tour of the USA with her role model Jenny Lind as a successful European singer. During another tour, Henriette Sontag died of cholera and typhoid fever in Mexico in 1854.
