Eeek - what kind of bug is that? :eek: And I think that's a young Noisy Miner like the one I fed at the zoo in Sydney.

It's an Island flea. They migrated from Tasmania and caused the extinction of all small dogs in Australia.

You're right about the Noisy Miner - these young ones sure live up to their name ;)

It looks like the empty case of a cicada larva. They crawl out of the ground, an adult cicada emerges and the empty case is left behind. Maybe I'm wrong?

Last Thursday Latvia was hit by the worst civil tragedy since the country regained its independence. 54 persons is reported dead so far.

I was at the scene of the accident 30 minutes after it happened. I will not post these photos here, but if you want to see them you can follow this link.

I was back today, and here is some of the photos:

Sunday lunch? Yes indeed! Vitamins, minerals, some sort of grain residue and that wonderful frothy flavor...a BLT in a bottle!

Thank you for the link.

It is so sad that many innocent people are killed by people who can't live in peace.

This was an accident. No conflict/terror. The roof of a supermarket collapsed..

Thank you for clearing that up.

But even that is sad.

What kind of a camera did you get?

Thanks!! Fuji SL & Im still getting to know it but so far so good!! I want to take a beginners photography class

Sounds like a great camera.

We're building a new museum! The BG James B Thayer Oregon Military Museum is official under construction. Well, maybe deconstruction. We've got to move some buildings for the new expanded plan.

Sounds like a big project.
