After all it was only glued on and would have had to survive extreme conditions.

So after all this effort, they just used glue??

Get outa here! Yaaaaaay!

Dublin's Tribute...

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/dublin-marks-911-anniversary-520123.html

Just observed a bird I've never seen before. He was very small, with a speckled chest, very small beak and very yellow tailfeathers on the underside (that's what really caught my eye!). I think he/she's migrating cuz I've never seen or heard anything like it, but boy, was it cute! It was waiting to get into the birdbath cuz the sparrows were hogging it. Once he got in, he had a great time, bathing and chirping. I couldn't find him in my bird books, may have been a female due to the mottled colors (maybe a little bit of a gray cap too on its head? - not sure about that). I love this time of year, with the different sounds in the backyard and woods due to the migrating birds!

Wow, Helen! I will look forward to hearing what it could be...

Well, at least they went down leaving a Beauty-ful view on screen!

Just "caught" this myself. Should have known someone would beat me. Great pic.

From the BBC - flag tributes from 9/11...

Tonight also, Irish radio station RTE Radio1 is presenting a commemoration on "The West Wind Blows" at 9pm Irish time. Features poetry selections such as Walt Whitman's "I hear America singing". I think this will be a podcast. The entirety of our News at One today is devoted to 9/11.

Thinking of all who are gone and of those they left behind today. God bless them, every one.

The Irish Times is carrying a series of articles and videos this weekend. I remember hearing the chilling reports from correspondent Conor O'Clery at the time.

Did you ever see such rejoicing when she was released? Hard not to think that this was a big Thank You... I loved the child's comment at the end.
