LLANDUDNO
Views of Llandudno whilst walking on the Promenade looking at The Pier, The Ferris Wheel etc, and the tourists soaking up the sun on a hot sunny afternoon in July
Llandudno is a coastal town in North Wales.
It's known for its North shore beach and 19th century pier, with shops and a games arcade North west of town. The cliffs of Great Orme headland jut into the sea.
Ancient tunnels lead to a cavern at Great Orme mines.
A 1902 tramway has an upper and lower section, and travels to the headlands summit.
To the east, smaller headland Little Orme is a Nature Reserve.

Rejuvenation
Just out on a little walk for some fresh air and spotted this just inside the tree line. It stood out from the rest of the trees without much separation. I mainly somewhat like this composition but I was out for a walk, not to spend an hour trying to find the right position for the shot.
One day, this fallen tree will provide life to a future not yet seen.
It also kinda looks like it's turned into some tree monster with a bear face on the curve.

I ❤ Ham Radio - Patio Portable
My patience payed off earlier in the week as many of my contacts were made late in the afternoon, many of them Parks On The Air (POTA) stations. Always tons of fun using my little Yaesu radio putting out less power than a nite light using battery power!

Two dragonflies
My first real attempt at trying to catch dragonflies in mid air. Need a little more practice, but I was surprised to get these two.

Leipziger Str.
The place always feels like the center of a little province town rather than just a part of, well, a bigger provincial town.

Bee Fly on a timber of our bridge
I found this little Bee Fly (family Bombyliidae, Diptera) on a timber of our little bridge across the creek in the woods today. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 26 July 2024)

2024 (July) Home Base socialization
This month’s home base socialization was a blast! 🐛📚 We dove into literacy by creating Hungry Caterpillar headbands and practicing color identification. 🎨✨
Socialization is so important for young kids—it helps them develop communication skills, build friendships, and learn from one another. Together, we're making learning fun and fostering a supportive community for our little ones! ❤️

CBTS on the Death Star
It's Movie Night again, but Stormtrooper Bruce is not in the best of moods. Although he's prepared a great lineup of movies, and the food and brewskies will be nonstop, what STB needs most this weekend is a little cheering up from the guys.
TK-432: What in the Great Galaxy is going on here? Dude, why are you all wrapped up in your widdle bankie?
TK-1110: Dude, are we too early? Or too late? Tell us, what's wrong!
STB: Don't laugh. But things have been going so great these past few weeks, it's almost too good to be true.
TK-432
TK-1110:
STB: OK. yes I had to "Trooper Sit" Palpatine's nephew for that week, and yes, we did had a few close calls that weekend we rounded up the P's escaped critters from his zoo, but aside from those things, it's been pretty good!
TK-432: I'm still struggling about why you feel the need to hide in your blanket because of some good times?
STB: It's because it's called the CBTS. The calm before the storm! I feel it in my bones! It's coming! Christmas in July is almost over, and the P's little precious is going to come to retrieve his decorations, open and gift, and probably want to stay forever! I can't handle it!
TK-1110: But, I thought you lived for earning Brownie Points with the P! You've even told us hundreds of times, gotta take the good with the bad.
TK-432: Dude! WGYB! We've got your back. If you get stuck sitting you-know-who, we're here for you! If there's a storm coming, we'll help. What ever you need. Granted we're only here on weekends, but still. WGYB!
STB: You're right. I'm a Trooper, and I just need to pull up my boxers and deal with it! Come what may! I've got this! Bring it!
TK-432: Whoa, slow down there, bro! Don't give yourself a wedgie in the process. You say CBTS, then I say let's get the "C" started, and deal with the "S" later!
