The rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) is a small hummingbird, about 8 cm (3.1 in) long with a long, straight and slender bill. These birds are known for their extraordinary flight skills, flying 2,000 mi (3,200 km) during their migratory transits. It is one of seven species in the genus Selasphorus.
The adult male has a white breast, rufous face, flanks and tail and an iridescent orange-red throat patch or gorget. Some males have some green on back and/or crown. The female has green, white, some iridescent orange feathers in the center of the throat, and a dark tail with white tips and rufous base.
The female is slightly larger than the male. Females and the rare green-backed males are extremely difficult to differentiate from Allen's hummingbird. This is a typical-sized hummingbird, being a very small bird. It weighs 2–5 g (0.071–0.176 oz), measures 7–9 cm (2.8–3.5 in) long and spans 11 cm (4.3 in) across the wings.

This was one of those rare moments when everything comes together in a split second. I was composing the shot and spotted the rowing Eight out of the corner of my left eye an thought it'd make some nice foreground interest. What I didn't see but rather heard was the loud flapping of wings as the two swans swooped in from my right to land just where I'd have chosen if I could, Fortunately I shoot HDR so I was all set and instinctively pressed the shutter button.
Happy Spring PolaroidWeek 2016!
Day 1
The most wonderful time of the year! And it comes twice a year! :)
However, it's a very busy week for me so I'll apologize in advance for not being able to keep up with the pool and all the goings on this Polaroid Week. I will certainly check it all out next week when I'll have loads of time. Looking forward to seeing all the inspiring work in the pool!
Happiest of 'Roid Weeks to you all!

Two models representing a 20-year difference in EMD "General Purpose" locomotive production are now stablemates at the B&O Railroad Museum. B&O 6944 is a GP30 built in November 1962. CSXT 1507 is a fairly rare GP15T, built as C&O 1507 in October 1982. Only 28 examples of the turbocharged GP15T were constructed. 1507 wears a fairly clean coat of CSX paint that looks a bit out of place in a museum setting.
The shop in the foreground was one of the first Boots stores in the UK, now Zara's. The one on the right is part of the Nottingham Council House.

"The historic ghost town of Two Guns is situated on the eastern rim of Canyon Diablo about 30 miles east of Flagstaff, Arizona, United States of America. The town, originally known as Canyon Lodge, flourished as one of the significant tourist spots along the famous route 66.
The town had a gas station, a cafe, overnight accommodation, a store selling local souvenirs and even a zoo with animals characteristic for the area. But when Route 66 was redirected to the opposite canyon, the town of Two Guns, as many towns along the old unused section of Route 66, started slowly to decline. After several attempts for it to be resurrected, the town of Two Guns became a completely abandoned ghost town at the beginning of the 1970s. The several remaining buildings are now in ruins but the site remains a picturesque place full of history and mystery.
The area that would later become Two Guns was inhabited much earlier. Native artifacts discovered there indicate that this place was populated from 1050 AD. The first European settlers started to populate the area in the mid-19th century when the construction of the Santa Fe Railway was proceeding in northern Arizona. In 1880 there was built a railroad town called Canyon Diablo, which became a ghost town years before the idea of building the town of Two Guns was even born. The town of Canyon Diablo quickly became a favorite place for outlaws, gamblers, and criminals. Billy the Kid and his gang hid in a ruined house built from the stone on the west edge of Canyon Diablo in winter 1879-1890."

Two wooden figures, ingrained in time,
At the cigar store, where they silently chime.
A statement to art, to culture, to trade,
Two guardians, in their wooden parade.

Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face, is one of the Batman's most dangerous and conflicted foes.

Two-Face was one of the easier characters to build for, in large part because of his simplistic suit design and large (comparatively) stature. That said however, his face was one of the most challenging aspects as it required me to build two halves of one head that spanned the width of 3 (and not 4) studs, while still being stable. Although not perfectly divided, I used a printed leg (Azog) and Ninjago stickers (among others) to help bridge the gap and even out the burns.
My Two-Face takes inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: Arkham City. His base is one of the collection's largest and it depicts an imploded courthouse.
