“The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.” Kahlil Gibran

Definitively completed in the Swabian period, the Cathedral of Cefalù, which became a World Heritage Site in 2015, can now also be visited in its towers.
Built starting in 1131, its Romanesque style is enriched by Arab influences, and its appearance is pure wonder.
It is also possible to climb its Norman towers, which are different from each other: one is the square-plan tower, with battlements in the shape of flames, which would symbolize the papal miter and the power of the Church; the other is the octagonal-plan tower with Ghibelline merlons which would instead pay homage to the royal crown and the temporal power.

Definitivamente completato in età sveva, il Duomo di Cefalù, divenuto dal 2015 Patrimonio dell’Umanità può essere ora visitato anche nelle sue torri.
Costruito a partire dal 1131, Il suo stile romanico è arricchito da influenze arabe, e il suo aspetto è pura meraviglia.
E’ possibile salire anche sulle sue torri normanne, diverse l’una dall’altra: una è la torre a pianta quadrata, con merli a forma di fiammelle, che simboleggerebbe la mitria papale e il potere della Chiesa; l’altra è la torre a pianta ottagonale con merli ghibellini che omaggerebbe invece la corona reale e il potere temporale.
This was taken in Murdoch Lane in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. While I was standing there, I heard a loud thud next to me. Startled, I turned around and there was a kookaburra in the bushes next to me. I'm not sure if it was playing or fell out of a tree. It flew off and was fine. I wasn't quick enough to capture it unfortunately but it was a funny moment.
"Alter Peter" (Old Peter) is the popular name for the steeple of the St. Peter church.
Photo taken from the Rindermarkt.
St. Peter is the oldest documented church in downtown Munich, first mentioned in a document dated around 1225/26. It was expanded several times, went from Romanesque style through late Gothic style to its final appearance in late Baroque style.
The church was nearly completely destroyed during the allied bombing raid of February 25th 1945. The reconstruction after World War II was only completed in 2000 with the final reconstruction of the ceiling frescoes.

Wow, it's a beautiful January day today. Temp's in the low 80's and a chance of butterflies and sunshine.
There are at least six monarchs flitting about along with several zebra longwings and a couple of goldrims.
The bird shows are beautiful too. The yellow-rumped warbler has made an appearance, I haven't had to opportunity to photograph one yet this year but as long as the palm warblers don't run them off, perhaps I will get a snap in a day or two.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Tsessebe belong to the same family as Wildebeest and Hartebeest, all of whom are characterised by an ungainly appearance because their shoulders are higher than the withers. In Southern Africa the tsessebe are confined to northern savannah woodlands.
Territorial males rub the sides of their faces on the ground, usually on a termite mound or on a sandy patch, dropping to their knees to do so. I saw this fine specimen in the south west of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

Aulacorhynchus albivitta
(Southern Emerald toucanet / Tucancito Esmeralda)
Like other toucans, the Andean Toucanet is brightly marked and has a large bill. The adult is 30–35 cm (12–14 in) long. The sexes are alike in appearance, although the female generally is smaller and slightly shorter-billed.
The Andean Toucanet is a generally common in humid forest and woodland, mainly at higher elevations.

Uranomitra franciae (Andean Emerald / Esmeralda andina)
Andean Emeralds are found around humid and wet forest borders, second growth, and highland clearings with trees. They are most common above 1000 meters.
Males and females are similar in appearance but the male boasts a blue crown and the female a green one. Both genders are green above, white below, and possess a coppery upper tail.

Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.

This melodic warbler is widely distributed across Britain & Ireland through the breeding season, and increasingly in winter too.
Blackcap breeding numbers have steadily increased in the UK since the late-1970s, and have also expanded their breeding range throughout northern Scotland and the island of Ireland during this time. They are now absent only on the highest Scottish peaks and farthest flung islands. In autumn, these breeding birds depart for southern Europe and are replaced by Blackcaps from central Europe. BTO research has helped show how garden bird feeding led to the evolution of this new migratory route and wintering strategy. Although widespread in winter, Blackcaps tend to be absent from the uplands at this time of year.
Blackcaps have a greyish overall appearance. The eponymous black cap is only found in the males; females and juveniles have a brown cap instead. The song is very similar to that of the Garden Warbler, but can be distinguished with practice. Blackcaps are found in parks, deciduous woodland and scrub, as well as at garden feeding stations.
Vestrahorn mountain is located on the Stokknes Peninsula, close to the town of Höfn. Unlike most of the mountains in Iceland, it is made out of iron- and magnesium-rich gabbro rock, which leads to its dark and jagged appearance.
Standing separate from the mountains of the nearby Vatnajökull National Park, Vestrahorn is an impressive 454 metres (1,490 feet) tall. It faces out to the sea on its southern side and is surrounded by a sandy coastline that is often home to seals. Like most stretches of beach in Iceland, the sands here are black due to the island’s volcanism.
Agressive
The maricá (Mimosa Bimucronata), despite the delicacy of its flowers and the meaning of the name, is also considered very aggressive, and is present mainly in coastal secondary associations in humid soils, where it forms dense groupings.

A small vessel passes in front of the setting sun. I like this image, in particular, because of the mock-mirage of the sun. This occurs when a layer of cooler air is trapped below an inversion layer, creating the appearance of a sun that is no longer round.
The Long-eared Owl is associated with coniferous woodland and tall scrubby habitats during the breeding season, favouring sites where dense nesting cover is located close to open areas that are used for hunting. Although widely distributed across Britain and Ireland, the Long-eared Owl remains a scarce breeding species and one that is easy to overlook. The species appears to be more abundant in Ireland than it is within Britain, perhaps because of reduced competition Tawny Owl, which is absent from Ireland.
This is a medium-sized owl, slightly smaller and slimmer in appearance than a Tawny Owl. The main confusion species is Short-eared Owl and BTO has produced a useful video on how to identify the two species – this is available here.
When perched, or when the Long-eared Owl’s ear tufts are visible, the species can be readily separated from Short-eared Owl. At other times, eye colour is useful: those of Long-eared Owl are yellow-orange, while in Short-eared Owl they are yellow. The general appearance of the upperside of the wing in Short-eared Owl is of sharp contrast between the dark wing tip and the extensive pale panel that sits between this and the darker ‘carpel’ patch. In Long-eared this panel is more richly-coloured and less obvious.
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍
With their nocturnal habit and owl-like appearance, Tawny Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars. Their feet are weak however, and lack the curved talons of owls.
The Tawny Frogmouth is found throughout Australia.
The bulk of the Tawny Frogmouth's diet is made up of nocturnal insects, worms, slugs and snails. Small mammals, reptiles, frogs and birds are also eaten. Most food is obtained by pouncing to the ground from a tree or other elevated perch."

Japanese gardens are traditional gardens whose designs are accompanied by Japanese aesthetics and philosophical ideas, avoid artificial ornamentation, and highlight the natural landscape. Plants and worn, aged materials are generally used by Japanese garden designers to suggest an ancient and faraway natural landscape, and to express the fragility of existence as well as time's unstoppable advance. Ancient Japanese art inspired past garden designers. By the Edo period, the Japanese garden had its own distinct appearance. 30765
An unmistakable little bird with its comical clown like appearance. Love it’s red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs.
The weather on the Isle of May,Scotland yesterday went from torrential rain to warm and sunny.
Well worth a visit :)
Sempervivum tectorum, the common houseleek, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to the mountains of southern Europe, cultivated in the whole of Europe for its appearance and a Roman tradition claiming that it protects buildings against lightning strikes.
The name Sempervivum has its origin in the Latin semper ('always') and vivus ('living'), because this perennial plant keeps its leaves in winter and is very resistant to difficult conditions of growth.
The specific epithet tectorum means 'of house roofs', referring to a traditional location for these plants.
The hairs that fringe the leaves can be seen on close inspection.

The painted-snipe is not related to the true snipes and differs from them in habits, flight and appearance, being far more colorful and having longer legs than the snipes. It is unusual in that the female is larger and more brightly colored than the male, with the sides of the head, neck and throat a rich chestnut brown, and a distinct black band across the breast; the male is paler and greyer.
Mostly in the animal kingdom the males are more beautiful than the females. There are exceptions of course, like in humans, where females are far more beautiful than males. This bird is also an exception. The female is more colourful. I saw a female as well, but couldn't get her well on the photo.

It was all sniffles and wheezing in the garden today as my histamines were working overtime in reaction to the profusion of flowering trees! I am allergic to most of the spring bulbs as well.
Oh, the irony!

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).
There is a huge difference in appearance between the male and the female. The male has a mostly bright green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.
It was first thought that they were of two distinct species.

“I’ll wait patiently my love
Until the day finally comes
Where our eyes finally meet
Within them, they’ll inflame,
like the burning Sun.
Until the day finally comes
I’ll wait patiently my love
When our hands finally grace
and intertwine within each others
Grounding roots into the earth
And together we’ll grow as one
I’ll wait patiently my love
As the moon awaits the sun
And the sun awaits the moon
Our love is never-ending
And always beginning anew
With each and everyday
I’ll wait patiently my love
Until the day I finally meet you” ~Christina Jackson
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Diglossa cyanea (Masked Flowerpiercer / Picaflor enmascarado)
The masked flowerpiercer grows to a length of about 15 cm (6 in). The adult male is deep ultramarine blue with a dark mask. The beak is large, black, and upturned, with a characteristic hook on the tip of the upper mandible. The iris is bright red. The female is similar in appearance but altogether duller.
The masked flowerpiercer is endemic to the Andes in South America where its range extends from Venezuela and Colombia, through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia. It inhabits montane forest, cloud forest, secondary forest, scrubby woodland and forest edges, at altitudes between about 2,000 and 3,500 m (6,600 and 11,500 ft).

Scinque Ocellé (Chalcides Ocellatus)
mon deuxième de ce genre choper à nouveau en Grèce sur l'île de Rhodes
C'est un long lézard cylindrique aux courtes pattes dotées de cinq doigts. Grâce aux ondulations de son corps, il creuse le sable meuble, procédé qui évoque la nage. D'autres espèces agissant de la sorte ont un aspect plus serpentiforme que le scinque ocellé, leurs membres étant réduits avec seulement trois doigts, voire aucun. Fait inhabituel pour un lézard fouisseur, il possède des paupières et, son corps brun est recouvert d'écailles lisses et luisantes

Ocellated Skink (Chalcides Ocellatus)
my second of its kind nab again in Greece on the island of Rhodes
It is a long cylindrical lizard with short legs with five fingers. Thanks to the undulations of his body, he digs loose sand, a process that evokes swimming. Other species that do this have a more serpent-like appearance than the Ocellated Skink, with their limbs reduced with only three fingers, if any. Unusually for a burrowing lizard, it has eyelids and, its brown body is covered in smooth, shiny scales
Marsh warbler - Sumpfrohrsänger
It's hard to distinguish marsh and reed warblers from their appearance, but their songs will reveal the difference ;-)
In appearance it looks like a smaller version of the large white (Pieris brassicae). The upperside is creamy white with black tips on the forewings. Females also have two black spots in the center of the forewings. Its underwings are yellowish with black speckles. It is sometimes mistaken for a moth due to its plain appearance. The wingspan of adults is roughly 32–47 mm (1.3–1.9 in).
It had snowed last Thursday and Friday without any wind. One of my favorite places to go in such conditions is the Garden of the Gods, a magnificent city park located not far from where we live. The rock formations with their sandstone red colors and the trees take on a magical appearance with a winter's blanket of snow and the right light. The clouds kept on into Saturday but broke nicely that afternoon. The snow had melted a bit, but still covered portions of the rock and trees. This shot was looking from the west into the Central Garden. I was hoping for a nice sunset but the clouds moved back in and, alas, there was no light show that evening. Oh well, next time!
Thanks for your views and comments!
The Reddish Egret is one of the rarest egrets in North America. It's easily distinguished from other egrets and herons by its shaggy appearance, hyperactive feeding behavior, and pink-and-black bill. ~ abcbirds.org
Making its first appearance under the Freightliner flag following transfer of the service from DB Schenker is the 07.46 Pendleton - Tunstead (6H43), seen here climbing through New Mills Central in the hands of Freightliner Shed 66605.
I'm going to miss the red Tugs on this one, and it seems the weather was out in sympathy too - it needed 5000asa and F6.3 to land it.

Features
Its appearance when viewed from the south-west, i.e. from the direction of Porthmadog, has earned it the sobriquet the "Matterhorn of Wales", albeit being 3,789 metres lower. In reality Cnicht is a long ridge and, at 689 m, is the fifth-highest peak in the Moelwynion mountain range. It can be easily ascended from Croesor, the village at its foot, or, with more difficulty, from Nant Gwynant to the north-west.
Although regarded by some as a mountain in its own right, Cnicht does not have the required 150m of topographic prominence to be classed as a Marilyn.
Snowdonia is a region in northwest Wales concentrated around the mountains and glacial landforms of massive Snowdonia National Park. The park's historic Snowdon Mountain Railway climbs to the summit of Wales's highest mountain, Mount Snowdon, offering views across the sea to Ireland. The park is also home to an extensive network of trails, over 100 lakes and craggy peaks like Cader Idris and Tryfan.
