Many more of one of my favourite subjects are in the first comment box ... I think of it as Mother Nature's ordered chaos.

"The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. Its not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time." John Steinbeck
Just working through the last of the wedding pics, when I found this...and I adore it...!! A shot of one of the young bridesmaids playing in the grounds just after the ceremony....full of joy...:-)
Standing amongst the trees (and the nettles!) in Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire, soaking in the view of the sun rising through the canopy.
Happy Flickr Friday all and wishing you a very creative weekend!
Amongst the flowers, deep in thought, taking a moment to reflect and admire the beauty of nature.

Solitary amongst a small group of Turnstone, this Sanderling was searching for food along the water's edge at Keyhaven. Seaweed was plentiful, hopefully ensuring that it would find enough food to sustain its long migratory flights and survive winter.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
Scientific Name: Mola mola (Linnaeus, 1758)
O peixe-lua é o maior peixe ósseo do mundo, podendo atingir mais de 3 metros de comprimento e pesar mais de duas toneladas!
Esta criatura dócil deita-se frequentemente à superfície da água, deixando-se levar pela corrente. Este comportamento permite-lhe equilibrar a temperatura corporal após consecutivos mergulhos em águas profundas e mais frias.
Apesar da sua fisionomia bizarra o peixe-lua é um animal gracioso pela coloração prateada e pelo lento movimentar das suas duas enormes barbatanas.
As fêmeas produzem até 300 milhões de ovos de cada vez, que são libertados para a água e fecundados pelos machos. As larvas passam por três estágios de desenvolvimento em que o peixe perde a barbatana caudal e ganha uma série de espinhos conspícuos.
O peixe-lua destaca-se por transportar uma impressionante carga de parasitas. Até à data a comunidade científica identificou cerca de 50 espécies diferentes, entre parasitas internos e externos!
Devido à sua natureza delicada e aos movimentos lentos, estes peixes são facilmente capturados por redes à deriva e por outros métodos de pesca. Como consequência as populações poderão estar em declínio.
Sunfishes are the largest bony fish in the World, reaching more than 3 meters in length and weighing in at over 2 tons!
These docile creatures often lie on their sides on the surface of the water and drift in the current. This behaviour helps them adjust body temperatures after consecutive dives in deeper, colder water.
Despite their unusual appearance, sunfishes are graceful animals, with their silvery glow and slow mesmerizing movements of the two huge fins.
Females release up to 300 million of eggs in the water, which will later be fertilized by passing males. Developing larvae undergo three separate stages, some featuring numerous odd-looking spines and also the loss of a tail fin.
Sunfishes are notorious amongst the scientific community for carrying enormous parasite loads. More than 50 internal and external parasite species have been identified so far.
Because of their delicate nature and slow movements, sunfishes easily fall prey to drift nets and other fishing methods. Their numbers are suspected to be steadily declining as a result.
There is always music amongst the sunflower field,
but our hearts must be very quiet and in great joy to hear it.

Welcome to the 2018 Elysion Halloween Sim inspired by the series Stranger Things. Enjoy the Upside Down
This rather noisy bird was busy hiding in the Holly Berry tree and I had quite a time getting a shot. This was the best one. I guess he did not want to be disturbed while he was nibbling on the red berries.
Female Grey Wagtail amongst the rocks on the beach.
Despite the name, the “Grey” Wagtail is mostly a gorgeous yellow colour. I guess that’s to differentiate it from the greeny-yellow “Yellow” Wagtail…
