Tapered Drone Fly "Eristalis pertinax" feeding on Water-mint flowers growing in my garden pond HBBBT!
Pulling up a 1 percent grade out of Brownsand Siding with a heavy loaded ethanol train for Tampa, Florida, CSX K421-19 makes a show for the railfans gathered to witness what would be the last CN C40-8M to lead in the state of Georgia on CSX. I made the four hour drive from college over to west Georgia in order to document this train as I knew this would likely never happen again.
All three motors have now been scrapped. And time marches on...

This tapered cotter pin arrangement fastens the single hand of my chamber clock to the main drive shaft. The dial behind the hand is used to set the alarm time by aligning it with the short spike on the hand. The clock was made in Halesworth, Suffolk in the early 1700s and may well have been in my family for the whole of its life. If only it could talk!
MI TAPERA - Verso Criollo de Elias Regules
Entre los pastos tirada
como una prenda perdida,
en el silencio escondida
como caricia robada,
completamente rodeada
por el cardo y la flechilla
que, como larga golilla,
van bajando a la ladera,
está una triste tapera
descansando en la cuchilla
Allí, en ese suelo, fue
donde mi rancho se alzaba,
donde contento jugaba,
donde a vivir empecé,
donde cantando ensillé
mil veces el pingo mío,
en esas horas de frío
en que la mañana llora
cuando se moja la aurora
con el vapor del rocío.
Donde mi vida pasaba
entre goces verdaderos,
donde en los años primeros
satisfecho retozaba,
donde el ombú conversaba
con la calandria cantora,
donde noche seductora
cuidó el sueño de mi cuna
con un beso de la luna
sobre el techo de totora.
Donde resurgen valientes,
mezcladas con los terrones,
las rosadas ilusiones
de mis horas inocentes;
donde delirios sonrientes
brotar a millares vi,
donde palpitar sentí
llenas de afecto profundo,
cosas chicas para el mundo
pero grandes para mí.
Donde el aire perfumado
está de risas escrito,
y donde en cada pastito
hay un recuerdo clavado;
tapera que mi pasado,
con colores de amapola,
entusiasmado enarbola,
y que siempre que la miro
dejo sobre ella un suspiro
para que no esté tan sola.
A female tapered drone fly flashing her characteristic yellow left foot whilst feeding on a late hogweed flower near Chester Zoo.
These young dancers were putting on demonstrations of their skills hoping to raise a little extra cash money to attend the World Championships in that year . The best place to start is outside an Irish Pub , naturally .

The tapered drone fly (Eristalis pertinax) is a fairly convincing mimic of honeybees. With the eyes not touching each other, we can also see it must be a female.
There is a very similar species, the glass-winged drone fly (E. similis) - but that one has black feet while this one has yellow so it's a proper ID.

I had some inquiries so here's some more messy WIP action to show the taper of the FJ, probably one of the most difficult parts of the whole thing. Not just the roof which goes from 6 to 5, but the sides that go from 6 to 4 as smoothly as possible. I wanted wedges to work but the angles aren't subtle enough! Anyway, hopefully this gives some insight as to what it looks like and how it's done.
Seen in Yolo County, California. Note the white throat patch, clean patagials, and sharply tapered wings.
Whoo-hoo!
Yesterday it snowed most of the day, and while it was tapering off, we got in a sloppy wet walk when Dad got home from work.
It's kinda surreal out here when the heavy snow weighs down the branches like this. Dad finds it fun to give one a shake when I'm underneath so I get a snow shower. I don't mind. He usually gets part of it, too. You gotta let your humans have their silly fun; they'll love you all the more for it.
Today I'm looking forward to a good romp around the house, chasing a ball and wrestling in the snow with Dad. He'll put on his snow gear so we can play at my level. He likes to shove my head in the snow while we're playing tug-o-war. This makes him laugh. Like I said, you gotta let them off the leash once in a while.
Happy trails!

From long, tapered jets to massive explosions of solar material and energy, eruptions on the sun come in many shapes and sizes. Since they erupt at such vastly different scales, jets and the massive clouds — called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs — were previously thought to be driven by different processes.
Scientists from Durham University in the United Kingdom and NASA now propose that a universal mechanism can explain the whole spectrum of solar eruptions. They used 3-D computer simulations to demonstrate that a variety of eruptions can theoretically be thought of as the same kind of event, only in different sizes and manifested in different ways. Their work is summarized in a paper published in Nature on April 26, 2017.
The study was motivated by high-resolution observations of filaments from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, and the joint Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency/NASA Hinode satellite. Filaments are dark, serpentine structures that are suspended above the sun’s surface and consist of dense, cold solar material. The onset of CME eruptions had long been known to be associated with filaments, but improved observations have recently shown that jets have similar filament-like structures before eruption too. So the scientists set out to see if they could get their computer simulations to link filaments to jet eruptions as well.
On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. NASA created this website to provide a guide to this amazing event. Here you will find activities, events, broadcasts, and resources from NASA and our partners across the nation.

Candlemas Bells, Snow Piercer, Fair Maids of February and Mary’s Taper, are just some of the names given to snowdrops over the years! The common snowdrop Galanthus nivalis takes its name from the Greek Galanthus meaning milk white flower, and nivalis meaning resembling snow.
Candlemas is an ancient festival which marks the halfway point between the shortest day and the spring equinox, and is also a Christian festival marking the purification of Mary, forty days after the birth of Jesus and the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Candlemas is also the day that the Church's candles for the year are blessed.
One of the earliest legends of the snowdrop is when the first winter was on the earth and Eve was pining for the beautiful flowers of the fields. An Angel caught a flake of driving snow, breathed life into it and transformed it into a flower for her. It was said to break the spell of winter and, at the same time, offer divine mercy.
Snowdrops were first recorded in the wild in 1778, but first
mentioned as cultivars by the
herbalist John Gerard in 1597, calling them, oddly, the ‘Timely flouring bulbous violet’. Once only grown by the wealthy, they became popular in Victorian times, particularly in cemeteries, which may account for their association with death and the superstition that the flowers shouldn’t be brought
indoors. The bulbs are poisonous, but yield a chemical called galantamine, used to treat Alzheimer’s
Mongolian nomads journey through the Gobi Desert at sunset. The pastoral nomads relied on their animals for survival and moved their habitat several times a year in search of water and grass for their herds. Their lifestyle was precarious, as their constant migrations prevented them from transporting reserves of food or other necessities.
