We had to leave the car and walk 1.5 km uphill by the roadside to have this view of the San Francisco Bay and the bridge was unfortunately repairs

A painterly version of a photo posted earlier, this digitally enhanced image done for Sliders Sunday shows a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) just after he had found a treat in a dead tree stump. While the original image showed a winter scene, I decided to warm things up just a bit with the background in this one. :-)
The original image is in the first comment.
HSS!
Our Quaker parrots sure did love peas, pods & all. For those that don't know Rio unfortunately escaped out of the aviary & Ginny was pining so we found a new home for her with another mate. Lots more pics of both of them in my "Furry & Feathered Friends" album.
Uploading for Smile on Saturday group 😃 The theme today is "Green Animals". Have a great weekend everyone!
Surprisingly to me, these birds seem to be relatively common near where I live now in Michigan. This one was shot against an almost totally white sky, so I dropped it onto a cloud background to add some interest.
After slipping around on the reef for several hours, I had just about had it. I thought maybe just one last shot over the potholes.

Built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. A great example of Regionalism Architecture with elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival.
Refuge du Requin (2516m) face aux Séracs du Géant et l'Arête de la Brenva dans le Massif du Mont Blanc (Haute-Savoie).
What I wanted was to take the cable car and go up the hill, but as the clouds in the background suggest, it was a no go. In the end, it was not a total loss.
Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.
The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

Having now seen the American and European Kestrel side by side I have to say the American one is far more photogenic, however in this particular case it was also the most vocal :-).
In order to get sunset pictures, the water taxis I took, speed out to the open waters of the lagoon that surrounds Venice! The sun's glow filled the sky and the water.
Seebrücke - Pier - Jetty
Heringsdorf :: Baltic Sea
Hi folks,
here again an image from the jetty, on hour later than the image yesterday.
Hope you like it.
Thank you so much for all your visits, favs and comments.
This pair of White-tailed Deer were on high alert when they spotted me just before dusk on a cold winter's day at Michigan's Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan. Moments after this image was taken, they bounded away.
I think he was performing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" but I'm not quite sure it might have been Mozart's "Amadeus". :-)
Many thanks to everyone for your visit, comments and faves! Much appreciated! 😊
Have a nice Thursday!
But my thoughts go to the people in Simbach/Inn (Lower Bavaria) - their town has been flooded by mud and heavy rain showers. Seven deaths have already been reported and some other people are still missing.
Ice swimming place.
Ice swimming (avantouinti) is especially popular in Finland.
