The chick fell off the adults back and tumbled into the water. It carried on trying to get the fish down its throat. In the end the adult ate it. The Arches, Carr Mill Dam, St.Helens, Merseyside.

This dramatic headland is situated in the northern-most tip of BORNEO, the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. It is located in the Kudat Peninsula, about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometres) drive from Kota Kinabalu City.
Simpang Mengayau means 'lingering junction' as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east ... Enjoy the stunning view. The sunsets and full moons are just beautiful ... The Pulau Kalampunian lighthouse is a reminder of treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks. On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian.
It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the Globe and the rocky outcrop that forms the "Tip of Borneo".
This musical phenomenon comes to Theatr Clwyd for the first time thanks to Tip Top Productions.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s Book Of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. “Prologue – Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” additional material written by Trevor Nunn and Richard Stilgoe; ”Memory” additional material written by Trevor Nunn.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year—the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories to Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. Among the candidates are the aging theatre cat, Gus; the rocker, Rum Tum Tugger; and the once-glamorous Grizabella, now but a faded memory of her former self.
Boasting a score that includes Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats, Mr. Mistoffelees and Memory, this compelling fable takes audiences to a fantastical world that can only exist in the theatre. Cats has been performed worldwide and translated into over 20 languages. The original West End production ran for 21 years and the original Broadway production ran for 18 years

Manufacturer: Lesney
Range: Matchbox 1-75's
Model: AEC 8-wheel Tipper Lorry
Reference number: 51
Scale: 1:92nd
Made in England
Released in: 1969
Withdrawn: 1972
Introduced in the first month of 1969 in this ‘Douglas' livery. The next year this livery was changed to the ‘Pointer' one. Technically this model was an updated version of the Foden 8-wheel tipper lorry in ʻHoveringhamʼ livery. The AEC cab featured windows and plated parts which the Foden didn’t have. The tipping action was the same in both models too featuring Matchbox's "Hydrosleeve". This enabled the tipper body to be held in any position and replicated in miniature the hydraulic movement of a real tipper. In late 1970 the regular wheel ‘Pointer' version was replaced with one with ʻSuperfastʼ wheels. Eventually this fine model was replaced by a Citroen SM in 1972.
Leyland's new Ergo tilting cab debuted in 1964 and was praised for comfort and driver visibility.

Of all the abundant flowers in the Allan Gardens conservatory in Toronto, this pink tipped plant produced the most interesting photo.
White-tipped Dove was another Texas specialty I wanted to find on my research trips there over the last couple months.

First Orange-tip I have managed to photograph so far this year, though they are now starting to appear in greater numbers.

When your bird has a great shape (like most birds do) and you have a bright background, consider making a silhouette by exposing for the background and letting the bird go completely black. To do this, use spot metering and meter on the background.
Read the tutorial on the blog:
One of the 'new' Royal Navy Agusta-Westland Merlins seemingly 'tips a wink' to an outgoing Commando HC.4 as they take the salute from the crowd during after participating in the RNAS Yeovilton's annual Air Day's set-piece 'Airfield Assault'.
Most of the HC.4's have been retired - sold off for spares and scrap to be replaced by the larger and more capable ex RAF Merlin which have a door both sides of the cabin along with a rear loading ramp.
The incredible sight and sound of these huge helicopters in such close proximity certainly brings home what it must be like to be at the 'sharp' end of Royal Marine operations!
Fantastic!

Beautiful male Orange Tip on their favourite Cuckoo Flower.
Also notice the large water drops on his abdomen.
So named because of the male's bright orange tips to his forewings. The males are a common sight in spring, flying along hedgerows and damp meadows in search of the more reclusive female which lacks the orange and is often mistaken for one of the other 'White' butterflies. The undersides are mottled green and white and create a superb camouflage when settled on flowerheads such as Cow Parsley and Garlic Mustard Alliaria petiolata. The male is able to hide his orange tips by tucking the forewings behind the hindwings at rest. On close examination of the mottling, the green colour can be seen to be made up of a mixture of black and yellow scales. The butterfly is found across Europe, and eastwards into temperate Asia as far as Japan.
I have probably as many shoes as Imelda Marcos. I don't know what it is with women and shoes. They are like little puppies. You simply find yourself picking the shoe up and next thing you know you're walking out of the store with a sales receipt in hand.
