Manhole cover in Manila, Philippines.

That's funny. Reminded me of Anderson AFB on Guam right after a downpour. They don't call Guam the "flat frog capitol of the world" for no reason.

Here's a couple of Ruger old model .22 Single-Six revolvers that I photographed today for a future article. The top one is an original "flat gate" model produced in early 1957. The lower one is a convertible model that has two cylinders - one for .22LR and the other one for .22 WMR. It was made in 1969. Both are highly collectible these days.

I like the lines on the original “flat gate.”

Built me a super duty work bench over the weekend to work on my car projects. Glued and screwed solid as a rock and just as heavy!
The last is my helper, Darby girl, taking a well deserved break under my truck. lol

Meeting the Kalmar Nyckel on the Chesapeake.
She's Delaware's tall ship. A reproduction of the ship that brought the swedish settlers to New Sweden in 1638, establishing Fort Christina. Wilmington, Delaware now.
She's a 141' pinnace.

Opuntia: Prickly pear. With dozens upon dozens of varieties it's hard to nail down but most likely Opuntia humifusa, eastern prickly pear.
They're edible, the leaves (paddle) are nopales you find in Hispanic food and the red flower buds are also edible.

The eastern pp grows from Florida all the way north into Canada.
It's considered an invasive plant.
You can propigate them by breaking off a leaf and sticking it in the ground.
