Part of any event is this beautiful stone bridges at the park,
Although the trees are lacking their colorful foliage they still give beautiful reflections in the water.
Have a great week ahead!

I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my house guests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down on me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream
Now I'm old and feeling gray
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
There's many tales I lived to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing
I had a dream
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me

Field setup to collect data on butterflies and moths in the restricted Aripo Savannahs in March 2015.
Picture just for record/documentation purposes.
It was such a privilege to spend a few mornings with these endangered birds of prey during our last trip to Florida. They feed almost exclusively on apple snails.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
It is difficult to see the port so calm.
Normally the activity itself and the visitors give an air of effervescence, really the opposite of this photograph.
Is 37407 "Blackpool Tower" hauling the Severn Tunnel rescue train in this shot? I'm not sure. Seen here passing Coed Kernew back in 1998. Canon EOS3, Fuji Superior 200.
I love seeing any finches pay us a visit, but always very happy to see the little European green finches. They have become daily visitors to our birdbath lately, so long as there are no New Holland honeyeaters in the area. The honeyeaters believe it is their bird-bath only!
Well the turkey is in; in fact it's almost done, so I've got away with a bit of messing time.
Just revisiting some of the many shots we took back in Feb in Assynt. This one obviously from Clachtoll and the beautiful grassy dunes above the beach and rocky headland. A bit blustery.....!
Asystasia gangetica is a plant native to India. It is an herbaceous flowering plant and can be used as ground cover in gardens and borders due to its low growing size of 2ft. This plant requires full sun, semi-shade and regular watering to thrive in any soil, but with an extra boost from compost. When it blooms, its flowers can be shades of pink, white, off-white, blue, lavender and purple. This stunning display often also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
She is 10 weeks now) A heart on paws. While examining her, I felt one of her front paws must have been broken at one point and healed like that, a bit outward. I will see later if it is in any way painful or keeping her from normal activities.
NOTE: Any provided GPS is usually only a rough estimate, and not intended to be the exact point where the photo was taken.
Thank you so much for any comments! I really appreciate it!
I could not find any information about Gravenstein but she has space on the top deck for at least nine folks to party. She has a classic look with attractive wood accents. The two wooden kayaks were built from kits from the Pygmy Boats. Unfortunately, that company is now listed as permanently closed. I built one of their kits and enjoyed doing it with some very helpful tips from their phone team. It has been a joy to paddle. This photo was taken at Port Townsend's 2024 Wooden Boat Festival woodenboat.org/
Here is another one of the over 40 species of hummingbirds we photographed in Peru. This small hummingbird is just 3 inches long from the tip of its bill to tip of tail.
Speckled Hummingbird:
Small brownish hummingbird with distinctive black cheek and pale buffy eyebrow. Throat variably speckled; some populations are cleaner than others. Green back; dark tail with buffy corners. Face pattern could recall a hermit, but combination of small size, straight dark bill, and squared tail should alleviate any confusion. Widespread and fairly common in the Andes, where it forages low within forest or at the forest edge. Found from 1,000–3,000m. Visits feeders.
Seen on a photo tour in Northern Peru led by Neotropic Photo Tours and our Peruvian guide Steve Sánchez Wildlife Photography.
fungus (plural: fungi or funguses is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista.
A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that share a common ancestor (i.e. they form a monophyletic group), an interpretation that is also strongly supported by molecular phylogenetics. This fungal group is distinct from the structurally similar myxomycetes (slime molds) and oomycetes (water molds). The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology (from the Greek μύκης mykes, mushroom). In the past, mycology was regarded as a branch of botany, although it is now known fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants.
Abundant worldwide, most fungi are inconspicuous because of the small size of their structures, and their cryptic lifestyles in soil or on dead matter. Fungi include symbionts of plants, animals, or other fungi and also parasites. They may become noticeable when fruiting, either as mushrooms or as molds. Fungi perform an essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange in the environment. They have long been used as a direct source of human food, in the form of mushrooms and truffles; as a leavening agent for bread; and in the fermentation of various food products, such as wine, beer, and soy sauce. Since the 1940s, fungi have been used for the production of antibiotics, and, more recently, various enzymes produced by fungi are used industrially and in detergents. Fungi are also used as biological pesticides to control weeds, plant diseases and insect pests. Many species produce bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, such as alkaloids and polyketides, that are toxic to animals including humans. The fruiting structures of a few species contain psychotropic compounds and are consumed recreationally or in traditional spiritual ceremonies. Fungi can break down manufactured materials and buildings, and become significant pathogens of humans and other animals. Losses of crops due to fungal diseases (e.g., rice blast disease) or food spoilage can have a large impact on human food supplies and local economies.
The fungus kingdom encompasses an enormous diversity of taxa with varied ecologies, life cycle strategies, and morphologies ranging from unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. However, little is known of the true biodiversity of Kingdom Fungi, which has been estimated at 2.2 million to 3.8 million species.[5] Of these, only about 148,000 have been described,[6] with over 8,000 species known to be detrimental to plants and at least 300 that can be pathogenic to humans.[7] Ever since the pioneering 18th and 19th century taxonomical works of Carl Linnaeus, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, and Elias Magnus Fries, fungi have been classified according to their morphology (e.g., characteristics such as spore color or microscopic features) or physiology. Advances in molecular genetics have opened the way for DNA analysis to be incorporated into taxonomy, which has sometimes challenged the historical groupings based on morphology and other traits. Phylogenetic studies published in the first decade of the 21st century have helped reshape the classification within Kingdom Fungi, which is divided into one subkingdom, seven phyla, and ten subphyla.

Any sunny day is a good day out, but even better when you can slip the roof off, then climb down into the low and sleek Ferrari 308 GTS and cruise to the southern coast of Victoria.
The setting here for this forced perspective shot is the riverside carpark at Nelson, a lovely sleepy and unspoilt town on Victoria's far south west coast, just a few kilometres from the South Australian state border. Local council have been spending a little money lately too with a nice new bitumen carpark here and also a good number of those new blue park-bench type seats scattered all round the town. Just out of shot to the left, a couple of small river cruise boats operate regular trips up and down the Glenelg River. To the right, the river goes round a kilometre or so before emerging into the beautiful sandy coastline. It is a great little spot for bird watching too. As well as all the usual coastal birds, I have seen much less common birds here like the rufous bristlebird and the azure kingfisher. Enticing enough to keep me coming back over and over again.
Winters flow at Low Force waterfall. A favourite location of mine, the variation and contrast in the rocks never disappoint.
As ever thanks for viewing and have a great week.
"You've got any New Year resolution?"
asked by many people.
"Personally, I don't wanna make an expectation on myself. So just live your life, keeps improving yourself and enjoy!"

Any springtime visit to Grasslands National Park is almost certain to be a lark. Oops, I mean any visitor. Well, any little brown and yellow, winged visitor. I've never seen more Meadowlarks in one place and certainly never more of these constantly moving, fast flying Horned Larks.
Every year, Jupiter is a must-see for any amateur astronomical photographer. This year, the gas giant is not at a good altitude; in fact, it is far from the zenith. However, these nights have not been bad for capturing one of the emblems of the Solar System, even with a small 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain. On the left, the capture corresponds to the 28th and on the right to the 30th of December (universal time; in local time it is the 27th and 29th). You can see interesting details such as the areas that mark the divisions between bands, the large red spot (sorry, my images are taken with a monochrome camera) in the frame on the right, a few areas of turbulence and the centers of some minor eddies.
If you have the chance to put your eye to a telescope and look at the largest planet in our neighborhood, don't miss that moment. The view together with its four Galilean moons will leave you breathless. It is an experience difficult to forget.
Capture data:
Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope "Explore Scientific" 127 mm, f/15. Player One Neptune-M camera, Player One UV-IR cut filter. Zona rural, Concordia, Entre Ríos, Argentina.
Alas yesterday night cloudy skies aborted any reasonable attempts to capture the first full moon of 2025, the Wolf Moon though I was able to make out Mars a steady light below the moon through my lens but unable to capture any usable frames because the cloud cover. However this evening, clear skies allowed me to capture a few frames at 98.2 % full, 2025’s Wolf Moon.

The jaguar, Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Unfortunately, the jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat.
This one is a wild old male and he was resting in a river bank at Rio Cuibá, Mato Grosso (Pantanal National Park). Very difficult light conditions, handheld and taken from a little boat.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
