That's one proud bird!

Thanks for spicing up my day!

Is the secret to such beautiful amaryllis the cookies?

"Boiled" is definitely an appropriate choice of words. To watch an eagle or hawk in flight is watching a master of the air, a study in gliding, riding the currents. But a mass of vultures is a whole other experience. It always amazed me how so many huge birds could roil ad boil in such proximity to each other, each apparently doing its own thing, without colliding. So many you couldn't even count, especially with all the intermingled motion. Great fun to watch! Just don't lie down motionless on the ground looking up, lest you be mistaken for dead and dinner.

I'll second that.Excellent piece of equipment.

It scares me sometimes what I find in the back of my mind.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember a Cadilac commercial "lease a Catera" ending with "Just who is Lisa Catera?" Might be the source of inspiration.

As a side note:

IF you receive your pay via Direct Deposit from your employer, BE SURE YOUR EMPLOYER HAS AN UP TO DATE MAILING ADDRESS FOR YOU!

If the banking system comes under cyberattack, your direct deposit may be affected. If your mail address is not current, your check, if it comes to that, may get lost in never-never land, especially with today's Postal Service.

Having worked in payroll on a national basis for decades, and having once had our bank disrupted by a DOS attack that lasted a week, I can tell you this can be a serious problem. If your employer can't get your money to you, you are the one who will suffer. Even if your employer INSISTS on direct deposit, make sure they have your current, working address! It might just come down to that.

Beautiful detail!

YUP! That ad your screen resolution.

Or more up in the air?

I'll drink to that!

There is also Logitech "Darkfield" technology that will work off of glass.

Many years ago, when I was learning color printing and color balancing in the darkroom, I noticed there was a slight difference in the color balance between my 2 eyes with the left eye having a very slight yellow shift. That did not come as a surprise to me, but it did get me to thinking, what IF different people had VERY different color perceptions? Not just you seeing slightly more yellow images than I, but the mind creating "pictures" of totally swapped colors. Instead of BLUE, their mind sees RED?

This would not be determinable. In looking at a color chart, from the time they were born, they would be told that the BLUE square was BLUE. They would know nothing else. Even if their mental picture was RED, they would tell you "that's the BLUE square". The examiner would have no way of realizing their subject was in a totally different "color universe" since they would have both learned that the word for BLUE was BLUE, regardless of how the brain pictured it.

Considering the psychological interpretations and effects that color has on people, how might this influence the person on many levels throughout the scope of their life and mental balance?

A weird and obscure concept, but one I've frequently come back to and considered in life.
