I lived a block away from the iconic Santa Monica Home Savings mural by Sheets. Such a joyful perfect work for the place, we preserved it for fifty years. Now it has a new home at the beautiful new Hilbert Museum at Chapman, where I now teach.

Murmuration!
Always find it difficult to name a 'favourite' bird, but Starlings definitely edge it. Especially when they do this... #YorkBirding #Acomb #UKBirding

Murmuration!
A murmuration is a huge flock of birds that move together. Nature is full of beauty and surprises that inspire scientists to learn why. Flocking rules are used in animation to make things move realistically.
In awe of this starling murmuration in the shape of a bird! www.newscientist.com/article/mg24...

Thousands of starlings fly together to make an enormous bird
This amazing photograph was taken by James Crombie in Ireland. It shows a murmuration of thousands of starlings acting like a single giant creature to confuse predators

This salute was popular in American schools until the 1930s. The Nzis Forever tainted the gesture - No American would *ever* use it.
Anyone who uses it is no American.
