Wonderful to see this little duckling---totally delighted: he finally got the worm!

Thanks to a hint from Leslie/Bogostick I was able to get the Mood Changers heads on the normal Poppy bodies.
I used a hair dryer on the lowest setting to heat up the heads for a little over three minutes. Then it was easier than expected to get the heads on the pegs.
This is not the best picture, but proof my method worked.
I'm very happy with my three MC Poppys now. :-)

L'Association Genevoise du Musée des Tramways AGMT fondée le 20 janvier 1973 célèbre en 2023 son cinquantième anniversaire.
La première manifestation commémorative est une exposition "Le Tramway" qui se tient dans un cadre industriel vintage à l'Association pour le Patrimoine Industriel API, Rue du Vuache 25, du lundi au vendredi de 10:00 à 18:00 heures du 12 janvier au 21 avril 2023.
On peut y découvrir de nombreux modèles réduits des tramways genevois et des documents d'archive tels que plaques d'arrêt, de destination ou publicitaire, des uniformes, des affiches d'horaires, des plans et registres techniques, des titres de transport, etc.
Depuis septembre 1988, le premier convoi AGMT Be 4/4 67 + Bi 363 est abrité au dépôt TPG du Bachet de Pesay, sur une voie de garage en cul-de-sac au centre d'une boucle et inutilisée par les mouvements de circulation et de remisage des trams en exploitation régulière.
Les autres véhicules ont pu successivement y trouver place suite à l'élimination par les TPG de ses véhicules de service ferroviaires.
La remorque 363 papote avec sa soeur 369. Cette dernière avait quitté Genève en 1971 pour les collections du musée parisien de l'AMTUIR. Ce musée a dû se séparer de la plupart de ses véhicules de provenance suisse. La Bi 369 a ainsi été rapatriée à Genève en 2013 et parquée hors réseau avant de pouvoir accéder au dépôt en mai 2018.
Une restauration dans l'état des années 1930 est envisagée.
Dans son état sur cette photo, elle porte les autocollants self-service qui ont coïncidé le 15 février 1971 avec le service à un agent sur la ligne 12 rendant de facto impossible l'engagement en service commercial des anciens véhicules sans portes verrouillables.

THE DESTINATION: Upper Success Lake below the Concubine Peaks and the Talchako Glacier in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, BC. We would spend a few days exploring this area before hiking out through Pandemonium Pass to the Turner Lake Chain.
Yes, it was mad chaos, but everyone seemed to enjoy the little man's birthday party. More photos to come.
p.s. Next year we're having the party at a bowling alley...
An early morning in Anglesey made for some good bird behaviour spotting. Even if the bright light from the clear skies was too brutal for anything but sillouettes
Near the main hall at Kiyomizu Dera is the Otowa waterfall, (Otawa-no-taki) where the falls is channeled into three streams of water that fall into a pond below. The tradition is to catch the water in a long handled cup and drink it to have a wish granted for health, longevity, and success in studies. The three streams are believed to be one for longevity, one for love, and one for knowledge, (but all the water comes from the same source). Supplicants make a wish to the protective deity Fudomyo-o at the shrine behind the falls and drink one cup of water by slurping it from their hands. These school boys are wishing for 'success in studies'.
Dia desses me bateu uma loucura de querer esmaltes fofinhos... Acho que começou com a compra do Sunwashed e me deu aqueles 5 minutos de loucura que resultou na compra de DEZ Bourjois de uma vez só hahahah
Deve ter sido a maneira do meu cérebro se revoltar pelos últimos meses comprando pouquíssimos esmaltes XD
Enfim...
Claro que o primeiro a ser usado teria que ser um azulão não é mesmo? Peguei então o Success Azure e passei sem medo de ser feliz :P
É bem pigmentado, não fica escorrendo para os cantinhos, fechou perfeitamente com duas camadas, fácil de aplicar e limpar, seca com um brilho bom *__*
Minha única reclamação fica com a embalagem, mais precisamente as etiquetas desses da linha Glossy: dos 10 que peguei, 3 vieram sem nome e outros 4 vieram com uma etiqueta prateada PÉSSIMA com as letrinhas minúsculas que dificultam a leitura =_=
The Dipper bird surfaced with something in its beak. I can’t make out if it’s just nesting material or some kind of small fish.
Thank you for your visit, your comments are always appreciated, I try to reply all of them. I love to discuss about photography, so if you have some spare time feel free to comment, I'm always happy to read it.
I would be greatful if you follow me in flickr/facebook. Thanks again, have a nice day!

German postcard, no. 708. Steve Reeves' surname is misspelled as Reves
Handsome, musclebound Steve Reeves (1926-2000) was an American bodybuilder and actor, who was a huge success in Hercules (1958) and other Peplum films, the Italian sword-and-sandal epics. At the peak of his career, around 1960, he was reputedly the highest-paid actor in Europe.
Stephen L. Reeves was born on a cattle ranch in the small town of Glasgow, Montana, in 1926. At the age of six months, he won his first fitness title as Healthiest Baby of Valley County. When Steve was 10, his father, Lester Dell Reeves, died in a farming accident. With his mother Goldie Reeves, Steve moved to California. In high school in Oakland Reeves began to work out regularly with weights, and he eventually came to the attention of Ed Yarick, who ran a bodybuilding gym. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Army and served in the Philippines during World War II and in Japan afterward. After his military service, at the age of 20, he won Mr. Pacific Coast (1946) in Oregon, which led to his titles of Mr. Western America (1947), Mr. America (1947), Mr. World (1948), and, ultimately, Mr. Universe (1950). The very night after he won the Mr. Universe title, he announced his retirement from the bodybuilding competition at the age of 25. With all the body-worshipping publicity he garnered, Reeves had become interested in pursuing an acting career. He moved to New York and studied acting under Stella Adler but after arguments, was refunded his tuition. He was selected by Cecil B. DeMille for the lead role of Samson in the biblical costumer Samson and Delilah (1949) after Burt Lancaster proved unavailable. In order to look convincing on-camera, he was told to lose 15 pounds as the camera added weight. He would not be able to compete in bodybuilding with the diminished weight., so he turned the movie offer down. The part instead went to Victor Mature. In 1949 Steve did film a Tarzan-type television pilot called Kimbar of the Jungle. He was one of the Olympic Team members not interested in the charms of Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks, 1953). In 1954 he had a small role in the musical Athena (Richard Thorpe, 1954) playing Jane Powell's boyfriend. The same year Reeves had a small role as a detective in Ed Wood’s attempt to make a serious Film Noir, Jail Bait (Edward D. Wood Jr., 1954). On TV, Reeves guest-starred on The Ray Bolger Show (1954) and The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show (1957). These roles were mostly posing bits or walk-ons. To Hollywood, Reeves was just a body. But then his fortunes turned.
Italian film director Pietro Francisci’daughter saw Steve Reeves in Athena (1954) and Francisi invited him to come to Cinecitta, the Roman film studios. In 1957, Reeves went to Italy and played the lead character in Le fatiche di Ercole/Hercules (Pietro Francisci, 1958), opposite gorgeous Sylva Koscina. Hercules was a relatively low-budget epic based loosely on the tales of Jason and the Argonauts, though inserting Hercules into the lead role. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: “Though he did not possess a Herculean acting talent by any stretch, handsome bodybuilder Steve Reeves certainly had an enviable Herculean physique, and made plenty good use of it in Europe.” Independent film producer Joseph E. Levine took a big chance and bought the rights to the film's American release. He added a soundtrack dubbed in English and after a major US advertising campaign on television and in the newspapers, Hercules became one of the surprise hits of 1959. Reeves became ‘overnight’ a star. The film’s international success quickly led to the sequel Ercole e la regina di Lidia/Hercules Unchained (Pietro Francisci, 1959), again with Sylva Koscina. Hercules Unchained made even more money and became one of the year's biggest grossing films. Although he is now best known for his portrayal of Hercules, Reeves played the character only twice. Next, he played 19th-century Tatar hero Hadji Murad in Agi Murad il diavolo bianco/White Warrior (Riccardo Freda, 1959) with Giorgia Moll. This was followed by his role as Goliath (in Italy Emiliano) in Il terrore dei barbari/Goliath and the Barbarians (Carlo Campogalliani, 1959) with Chelo Alonso. While filming Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei/The Last Days of Pompeii (Mario Bonnard, Sergio Leone (uncredited), 1959), the chariot Reeves was driving struck a tree and he dislocated his shoulder. This put an end to his more intense exercise routines and caused problems in the following years.
By 1960, Steve Reeves was ranked as the number-one, box-office draw in twenty-five countries around the world. From then on through 1964, Reeves went on to appear in a string of Peplum (sword & sandal films) shot on relatively small budgets, He played a number of characters on-screen, including Welsh pirate and self-proclaimed governor of Jamaica, Captain Henry Morgan in Morgan il pirata/Morgan the Pirate (André De Toth, Primo Zeglio, 1960), Karim, the fabled Thief of Baghdad in Il ladro di Bagdad/The Thief of Baghdad (Arthur Lubin, Bruno Vailati, 1961), and Randus, the son of Spartacus in Il figlio di Spartacus/The Slave: The Son of Spartacus (Sergio Corbucci, 1962). He also played Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome in Romolo e Remo/Duel of the Titans (Sergio Corbucci, 1961) opposite Gordon Scott as his twin brother Remus. Reeves reportedly turned down two roles that became international sensations. He was offered the role of James Bond by Cubby Broccoli in Dr. No (1962) but refused it because of the low salary the producer offered. Reeves also turned down the role of ‘The Man with No name’ that finally went to Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars (Sergio Leone, 1964) because he could not believe that "Italians could make a western". He played Aeneas of Troy in La leggenda di Enea/The Avenger (Giorgio Venturini, 1962) and twice he played Emilio Salgari's Malaysian hero, Sandokan in Sandokan, la tigre di Mompracem/Sandokan the Great (Umberto Lenzi, 1963) with Geneviève Grad, and I pirati della Malesia/The Pirates of Malaysia (Umberto Lenzi, 1964) with Jacqueline Sassard as the romantic interest. Reeves’ injury of The Last Days of Pompeii, would be aggravated by his stunt work in each successive film, ultimately leading to his retirement from film making. In 1968 he appeared in his final film, Vivo per la tua morte/I Live For Your Death!/A Long Ride From Hell (Camillo Bazzoni,1968), a Spaghetti Western he co-wrote. His first wife had been Sandra Smith (1955-1956). In 1963, he married Aline Czarzawicz and the couple moved in 1969 to Valley Center, California, northeast of San Diego. He had bought a ranch there with savings from his film career. The next two decades Reeves bred horses and promoted drug-free bodybuilding, and stayed with Aline, until her death in 1989. In 1994, Reeves and business partner George Helmer started the Steve Reeves International Society, which became through its Internet site, a leading proponent of drug-free bodybuilding. In 1996, it incorporated to become Steve Reeves International Inc. Reeves also wrote the book Powerwalking, and two self-published books, Building the Classic Physique - The Natural Way, and Dynamic Muscle Building. His last screen appearance was in 2000 when he appeared as himself in the made-for-television A&E Biography: Arnold Schwarzenegger — Flex Appeal. In 2000, Reeves died in a hospital in Escondido, California, from a blood clot after having surgery two days earlier. He passed away on the very day that Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000) premiered, the first sword-and-sandal epic to be produced by Hollywood in many years. Steve Reeves was 74.

Another attempt at a foot pull and probing the other end of the leaf got the caterpillar.
I don't recall seeing a passerine use a parrot-like feeding move before.

Some of you will remember that in December 2014, I relocated several dozen Juniper shieldbugs when the trees they were residing in near the office were felled.
Well a few weeks ago, I went back to one of the locations where I'd released some, and was really thrilled to find a few, including this pair in cop! :-)
(Not a great shot as was shady...)
