Today is my first OFFICIAL blog post for Be My Mannequin? Pose Store! And thus, I have TWO brand new goodies to present to you!
The first pose is portrayed by Vin Raven-Mysterious, the creator of Be My Mannequin? Pose Store, himself, posing for: I Want To Hold You Close. It is a standing, very versatile and unisex single pose! You can find it at the one and only alternative and dark style event: Necrosis and will be there until June 11th! With your purchase, you get the copy/mod pose and poseball, an unlit flashlight, and a clean knife! The flashlight and knife are not shown in the photo but you can check them out on display (and DEMO this epic, versatile pose) at Necrosis! Bonus, its also part of a FATPACK with its sister pose (Lie Still, Close Your Eyes) which you can get 10% off!
The second pose is portrayed by me, using the brand new sit pose: (I Just) Died In Your Arms. It is an in-store release (previously released for the Dark Wednesdays Event) and you can find it at Be My Mannequin? Pose Store's main store or on marketplace on Second Life! Its a unisex, singles sit pose and comes with a shackles bar that attaches directly to your avatar and is super easy to adjust! You can see it in the picture on my wrists! I am in love with how natural this pose is and any prisoner would definitely know their place while in this pose!

"You can't!" I cried, staring out at the beautiful, illuminated planet that was my home world before turning desperate gaze to my captor. Down there were billions of people just living their lives, unaware of the danger above! The unit I had been a part of had been dispatched in secret as not to terrify our people that he was coming to our world. I tried to fight! We all did but we were ambushed and I was taken alive; brought to The Cosmic Tyrant. That's what they call him.
Everyone knew about this guy: he was ruthless and cared about no living thing except himself. And now he was offended by our home world but no one knew why. He'd be beautiful to me if he wasn't the one threatening to destroy everything I loved and held dear.
"I can't?" came that smooth, venomous voice. His piercing eyes turned upon me as a viscous smile curled at his lips. "You want to try that again, Prince?" Our eyes stared into each others and I knew that there was truly nothing I could do at this point to stop him.
With a dark chuckle, the black obsidian that hovered midair over his hands began to spark, dark pink electricity flickering and expanding all around us!
Now I knew I couldn't hold back the fear that lit my eyes. The rumors always said that all is calm, then you see a flash of pink light and then....gone. In a matter of minutes, my home would be nothing but dust floating through space and if I was l lucky, he'd kill me too.
This was it. This is how the world ends.
The bright yellow belly of an actively 'sallying' Western Kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) is on full display in Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado.
This species of Kingbird is a member of the 'tyrant flycatcher' species group, so named because many of these species are aggressive and more than willing to punch above their weight as they drive away much larger birds that venture too close to their territory. The tyrant group is also the largest taxonomic family of birds in the world, including over 400 species. Here in Colorado the Western Kingbird overlaps with the Eastern Kingbird (T. tyrannus), which we also saw on this particular day. Upon first glance, one might be hard-pressed to make the connection that these two species are closely related as the Eastern Kingbird is largely black and white.
Thanks for looking and commenting!

An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) rests on top of a mullein stalk, taking a break from picking off flying insects that happened to catch its eye. During the summer Eastern Kingbirds are usually solitary, aggressively defending breeding territory (thus the tyrant moniker), inhabiting pastures and meadows of North America. In the winter they migrate to South America where they live tropical forests, occurring in flocks, and mostly subsisting on fruit.
The great shrike-tyrant (Agriornis lividus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Chile and adjacent areas of south-western Argentina.
It is the largest species of tyrant flycatcher at 27.5–31 cm (10.8-12.2 in) long. The body weight of this large passerine is reported to average 99.2 grams (3.5 oz.)[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and pastureland.
Isaiah 25:4-5 “For you are a protector for the poor, a protector for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rainstorm, a shade from the heat. Though the breath of tyrants is like a winter rainstorm, like heat in a dry land, you humble the boasting foreigners. Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside, so he causes the song of tyrants to cease.”

This Long-tailed Tyrant (Colonia colonus) perched on the top of a stump at the forest edge near Capurganá, in Chocó, Colombia, near the trail to Sapzurro, its pale crown and long central tail feathers clear against the green. It lives from Honduras south to most of South America, mostly below about 1,200 meters there. It nests in a cavity, often an old woodpecker hole or rotted knothole in a dead tree, 8 to 30 meters up, and pairs defend the nest tree against other cavity-nesting birds. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 800mm f/11 for this one, at 1/125 sec, f/11, ISO 3200. Capurganá can be reached only by boat or small plane, and it has no cars, which keeps the village and its forest edges quiet for birds like this one.

This is an immature male vermilion flycatcher. I say immature, because the males start off with a black head and sort of a striped belly and eventually those parts morph to all red. This guy has some black streaks on his crest so I'm thinking just a wee bit immature, but very close to full adulthood. They're so flashy. I love 'em.
Great Kiskadee
The Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus), called bem-te-vi in Brazil, pitogue in Paraguay, benteveo or bichofeo in Argentina and Uruguay, luis bienteveo, pitabil, luis grande or chilera in Mexico, and cristofué in Venezuela, is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is the only member of the genus Pitangus.
It breeds in open woodland with some tall trees, including cultivation and around human habitation. It is found from the southern United States south to Argentina. It was introduced to Bermuda in 1957, and to Tobago in about 1970.

Pied Water-Tyrant - Bonte Watertiran - Grotomotyo (Suriname)
Canon 5D Mark IV + Canon EF 300mm F2.8 L IS USM + 1.4x TC
This Long-tailed Tyrant (Colonia colonus) perched on a bare snag near San Pablo de Borbur, in Boyacá, Colombia, its long central tail feathers hanging below a black body. It feeds on insects, and in some places, such as Costa Rica, it specializes in stingless bees. Its lookout perch is often in the same tree as its nest. It hunts from an exposed perch, taking most prey in midair, and flicks its long tail streamers up and down, often returning to the same perch.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 800mm f/11 plus the RF 1.4x extender for this one, at 1/180 sec, f/16, ISO 800. IUCN lists the Long-tailed Tyrant as Least Concern, and no immediate threats to it have been identified.

This one in its proper habitat, we saw it first in Corpus Critic, Texas. From Wiki:
The relationships of this species and genus to other genera in the tyrant flycatchers are uncertain. It resembles Tyrannus flycatchers, but this may be the result of convergence.

This tiny, beautiful bird occurs in montane forest all along the Andes, but occurs more generally in Patagonia right down to the coast. But they did not seem particularly common, and they were always on the move when I saw them so never easy to connect with. I photographed this individual in a Southern Beech (Nothofagus) woodland in Tierra del Fuego National Park in southern Argentina. This one shows off his amazing crest particularly well. The tyrant part of their name is because they are in the suboscine passerine family Tyrannidae, given that name because the first named species in this family was a bit of a bully (Eastern Kingbird) and was also known as "Tyrant".

Did a birding trip with Rodrigo Reyes of Birdwatching Chile. From pelagic to the mountain environment in the Andes, we got great views of a large number of interesting birds, including many endemics. Great trip, and I strongly recommend Rodrigo.

I photographed this Pied Water-Tyrant (Fluvicola pica) at Posada Turística Kenisha in Prado, Tolima, Colombia. It forages alone or in loose pairs, mostly in the open. It gleans prey from floating and emergent vegetation and from the water surface. It often sits on low perches like fence posts and floating plants. Both sexes build the nest, a round ball of dry grass and leaves with a side entrance near the top. Prado sits at about 321 meters on the right bank of the Magdalena, crossed by its tributary the Prado River. Prado's main attraction is the Darío Echandía reservoir, an artificial lake fed by the Cunday and Negro rivers.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/800 sec, f/5.6, ISO 3200. IUCN lists the Pied Water-Tyrant as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.

A T-Rex robot has been on the build list for a while now. Not overly happy with the black sensor "face"; it's supposed to be a downward-facing LIDAR with a side-mounted radome but it seems a bit messy or unresolved?
