Talking of nature. There's this thing called 'aposematic coloration.' It's where animals take on protective camouflage of the more deadly and poisonous animals, but having no poison themselves, it's just a bluff to deter would be predators.

Yep. The Viceroy butterfly takes on the coloration of Monarchs, which are toxic. Some animals make use of warning coloration. Nudibranchs advertise that they eat stinging animals and frequently incorporated the stinging cells into their skin.Beautiful animals. I enjoy photographing them.

As you can well imagine, I've changed a bit since then. I have no idea where this was, or who these people are...Or why I'm holding that stuffed thing...I don't remember any of this. :sweatsmile: Or why I'm sticking my tongue out..or who's taking the photo...Or what age I am...It's all a total blank.

Been posting here a few weeks, figured I'd post a picture, not something I've done on forums before, never really felt comfortable doing it, but whatever.

Actually there are two Starrett scales in my pocket, one a thin flexible one and the other is called a hook scale.

The shop I am standing in is a representation of a century old lineshaft machineshop at The National Pike Steam Gas and Horse Association showgrounds where I get to demonstrate our equipment performing actual work and explain all of the workings of lineshafting.
Last weekend was the second time I got to do my part in the shop as a machinist where I was handed the keys to it last summer to take her live.
This show involved me spending a lot of time out there over the past month doing repairs on the machinery, adjusting the belts and shafting and relocating several large pieces of equipment.
I spent the last two weekends camped out in my building, first for two days, then for three just to finalize my work there.
By now I have a fridge, a microwave, a charcoal grill and a 5 gallon water cooler hidden in the building along with a cot to sleep on, so it isn't exactly roughing it.

We are in essence a huge live museum stretched out over more than 150 acres.
The Association is all about machinery preservation where we put all of the older equipment there thru their paces to show what it was all about years ago.
 
Looking awfully thin there. You been on a diet? Jeff T. On a. Die T. Death T. Dead T. Looking a bit skeletal.
 
Oh well I should stop goofing off.

Thank you!
It's definitely a lake of a different color. Been going there for over 40 years, always new stuff to investigate. I think it's the oldest lake in North America- it's stark and primitive, makes me feel as if I'm a neolithic hunter/gatherer when I'm there!
