...are alike. Well, maybe they are but you often have different densities and clear areas that allow or disallow you to take a 'different' shot. If it weren't for the variables, we might not come back to a composition.
Thanks for having a look!

I see right through to you
It's not like I don't feel your mood

I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move

I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move

Lézard Vert Occidental - Lacerta Bilineata
My best photos are here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
About the species:
The western green lizard belongs to the family Lacertidae. This is the family of the wall lizards, true lizards, or sometimes simply lacertas, which are native to Europe, Africa, and Asia. The group includes the genus Lacerta, which contains some of the most commonly seen lizard species in Europe. It is a diverse family with at least 300 species in 39 genera.
The lacerta bilineata is native to Andorra, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Serbia, Slowenia, Spain, and Switzerland. It was introduced in Guernsey and Jersey in the Channel Isles and the United States, and there are also introduced colonies on the south coast of the U.K, notably around Poole Bay in Dorset.
DESCRIPTION: Adult western green lizards reach a length of 30 to 45 centimetres including tail (there may be regional differences regarding the size of the species). The tail may reach up to twice the body length. The average weight is about 35 grams. Males are generally a bit bigger than females, with a slightly bulkier head and body.
With females of the species colors and color patterns can vary greatly and range from dark green and brown to shining emerald green, turquoise and blue and everything in between, even typical male color patterns (see example photos here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/post/western-green-lizard-lacer... ). Adult males tend to look more alike (though there are variations too), with their back usually a striking yellowish to emerald green interspersed with black dots, a yellow or yellow-green belly and blue face, all of which much more pronounced during mating season (see example photos here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/lacerta-bilineata-species )
(Deutsch): Die Westliche Smaragdeidechse gehört zur Familie der Lacertidae, also der Echten Eidechsen (im Deutschen wird synonym oft einfach die Bezeichnung „Eidechsen“ verwendet), die in Europa , Afrika und Asien beheimatet sind . Die Gruppe umfasst die Gattung Lacerta, die einige der am häufigsten vorkommenden Eidechsenarten in Europa beinhaltet. Es ist eine vielfältige Familie mit mindestens 300 Arten in 39 Gattungen.
Die Westliche Smaragdeidechse gehört zur natürlichen Fauna in Andorra, Kroatien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien, Monaco, Serbien, Slowenien, Spanien und der Schweiz. Eingeführt wurde sie auf den Kanalinseln Guernsey und Jersey und in den Vereinigten Staaten sowie an der Südküste Großbritanniens; insbesondere in der Nähe von Poole Bay in Dorset gibt es grössere Kolonien.
BESCHREIBUNG/MERKMALE: Adulte Tiere erreichen eine Länge von 30 bis 45 Zentimetern einschließlich Schwanz (regionale Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Größe der Art sind wahrscheinlich). Der Schwanz kann das Doppelte der Körperlänge betragen. Das Durchschnittsgewicht beträgt ca. 35 Gramm. Männliche Tiere sind etwas größer, mit einem breiteren Kopf und Körper verglichen mit den Weibchen.
Bei den weiblichen Tieren können Farben und Farbmuster stark variieren; von braun, dunkelgrün bis smaragdgrün, türkis und blau; von gefleckt bis gestreift; alle Variationen sind möglich, auch typisch männliche Farben und Muster (Beispielfotos: de.lacerta-bilineata.com/post/westliche-smaragdeidechse-l... ). Adulte männliche Tiere haben ein etwas einheitlicheres Aussehen (obwohl es auch hier Variationen gibt), wobei der Rücken normalerweise eine auffällig gelblich-grüne bis smaragdgrüne Farbe aufweist, durchsetzt mit schwarzen Punkten. Der Bauch ist gelb bis gelbgrün; das Gesicht blaugrün bis blau, wobei sämtliche Farben während der Paarungszeit viel intensiver sind (Beispielfotos: de.lacerta-bilineata.com/lacerta-bilineata-species ).

Gardens produce so many look a likes. When they’re this pretty no one seems to mind. Gratitude and Kindness make our days more delightful.
The Rainbow Lorikeet is unmistakable with its bright red beak and colourful plumage. Both sexes look alike, with a blue (mauve) head and belly, green wings, tail and back, and an orange/yellow breast. They are often seen in loud and fast-moving flocks, or in communal roosts at dusk."
Burrowing Owls are great fun to observe and photograph. This little owlet was a bit bigger than its siblings and seemed to show it with confidence and elan. It's easy to fall in love with them. They are well taken care of by parents and humans alike. Dogs, not so much. For whatever reason, I'd like to name this guy Charley. (Athene cunicularia)
It's always a joy to walk in the former Lake Gardens of Kuala Lumpur, now called the Taman Botani Perdana. Lots of plants of course, and also ponds and rivulets. All very attractive to humans and insects alike.
Here's a Crimson Marsh Glider, Trithemis aurora. I'd first taken it to be a Violet Dropwing, Trithemis anulata, but Christian Dreifert (see below) points out 'annulata' doesn't occur in these parts. I'm most grateful to him.

Soft and woolly, the flannel flower ia a fast favourite in bouquets and gardens alike. Almost velvet-like in feel with silvery-sage foliage, these Australian natives are great for rockeries, cottage gardens, native gardens, or on balconies and courtyards in pots.
WHERE now these mingled ruins lie
A temple once to Bacchus rose,
Beneath whose roof, aspiring high,
Full many a guest forgot his woes.
Old creeping Time, that brings decay,
Might yet have spared these mouldering walls,
Alike beneath whose potent sway
A temple or a tavern falls.

Sachem butterflies aren't very big. They belong to that confounding skipper clan where all the cousins look nearly alike. Note that broad black patch on its forewing. They are one of the last butterflies to flit about around here.
Clara Vale, Co. Wicklow is probably the smallest village in Ireland as it just consists of a church, a tiny school and about 3 houses. It lies on a side road between Laragh and Rathdrum and if you blinked you would miss the turning for this hidden gem!
The Avonmore river runs through it and it also has one of the last natural hardwood forests in Ireland. A stunning place much loved by walkers and the general public alike it is a hidden jewel. I was there last Saturday and got totally lost in the wood! Anyway, if you keep walking long enough you will find a way out which is what I did. Ill have to get a map of the area for next time and maybe I wont bother!!! Anyway, its an amazing place to get lost in!
The trees in the photo are Larch and Beech with Oak trees on the right hand side of the path.
The undergrowth is mostly Bracken, some dead and brown and amazingly, some still growing on the left of the track. Its no wonder I got lost in this magical place really!
Heres a link to the place so if your ever passing that way, do drop by!
I took this pic as it occurred and I like the colours in it which add an air of mystery to the place. Woods are difficult to photograph as Im sure you all know and I dont think there is any formula apart from experimenting when photographing them.
Hope you like my "lost" effort and have a great day!
Keep safe!!!

Sedona, Arizona is a stunning destination offering all types of activities for adventure seekers, spiritual searchers, and photographers alike.
From the vantage of Chicken Point looking south, the non-motorized Little Horse Trail wends its way through the Coconino National Forest along the edge of the Munds Mountain Wilderness, seen here. Although the red rock is spectacular, and the blue green of the pinion pines and junipers contrasts nicely, I felt that the textures of the forest, geology and the heavy clouds made a more compelling image.
Sam Golden was affectionately known as Sammie G by the locals and by his customers alike. Sam, a likeable guy and a good businessman ran a very successful used car business in the small town of Goshen Connecticut, a short ride from the state's capital in Hartford. He had a reputation of giving fair prices on very good, well taken care of used cars, and people would come from miles away to shop for a car at Sam's. And Sam had an excellent connection for those good used cars with his twin brother Irwin who owned Golden's Ford across the border in Amenia, NY. And with that connection you might say that Sam got the cream of the crop of traded in cars from his brother's business. The arrangement that Sam had with his brother Irwin was for him to get the best trade in's from Irwin, and in return the profit on those cars once sold would be split fifty fifty between he and his brother. And, in spite of those bad post depression years of the early thirties, Sam was always able to keep his business in the black. Sam was once quoted as saying, "People always need a car. You can't go to work around here without a car. It's not like our little town has public transportation, and you need a car to go to work, and to put food on the table. And it's my job to help those people do that!" And Sam did that very thing.
In early 1934, Sam's brother sold a new 1934 Ford to Ezra and Margaret Chase. And the car they traded in was a 1930 Ford pictured in the middle of the above photo. Now, that doesn't seem so special until you hear the rest of the story. That new 1934 Ford purchased by Ezra and Margaret was subsequently stolen by a little known local gangster by the name of Clyde Barrow who had joined with Bonnie Parker, and used that car for a short spree of robberies, shootings, and murder. In the end both were shot to death in a police ambush in that very 1934 Ford.
Above is pure fiction, of course with some real names thrown in for fun
This is the last location I visited on my italian tour. After shooting for a couple of hours and when I thought I was done, is when all the fun started. Trying to remember where my exit was, I got lost in a maze of dark corridors and rooms in the basement, all looking alike. After trying all the corridors twice and even three times I finally found my way out.
Sometimes it is just fun to play around and dress alike.

I'm checking in with this upload to say I'm still around. Work has been busy, so I'll be uploading less over the next few weeks.
I've taking this shot during a recent trip to Snowy Mountains and Mount Kosciusko. To get the extra long exposure I had to slap on my polarizer, which was the only filter a brought with me.
Thank you so very much! Front page and explore!

Gratitude and Kindness, like the rain, have surrounded the roses.
Lyon Saône, also known simply as Lyon or Lyon-sur-Saône, refers to the city of Lyon, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The name "Saône" comes from the river that runs through the city, dividing it into two parts: Lyon on the east bank and Lyon-sur-Saône on the west bank.
Lyon is the third-largest city in France and is renowned for its historical significance, architectural heritage, gastronomy, and vibrant cultural scene. The city has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and its old town, known as Vieux Lyon, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Saône River, along with the Rhône River, plays a significant role in the city's geography and has contributed to its economic development over the centuries.
Tourists and locals alike enjoy strolling along the banks of the Saône, where they can find picturesque quays, charming bridges, and stunning views of the city. The riverbanks are also dotted with bars, restaurants, and recreational spaces, making it a popular area for leisure activities.
In addition to the Saône River, Lyon is famous for its culinary delights, especially its unique bouchons (traditional Lyonnais restaurants) serving delicious local dishes. The city's cultural attractions include numerous museums, theaters, and music venues, making it a hub for art and entertainment in the region.
Overall, Lyon Saône is a city that blends history, culture, and modernity, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a taste of authentic French lifestyle.

Das Bild habe ich vor etwa zehn Jahren aufgenommen.
Wie es heute dort aussieht, wage ich mir nicht vorzustellen.
I took this picture almost ten years ago.
I don't even dare to imagine how this site does look alike today.
I was going to try bubbles today but it's not that cold enough out to produce frost on the inside of the bubble. So I saw snowflakes on the wood holding the tarp covering our firewood down and decided to grab a shot with my iPhone and the macro filter.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.

Another shot of the Chicago "Bean", more properly known as "Cloud Gate". This is the sculpture in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago that draws thousands of people, tourists and locals alike every day to stare into the curvy, reflective surfaces and try to see where they show up.
I took this photo this past Saturday on what is hopefully one of Chicago's last snowy weekends of this winter. I loved how the snow covered the top of the Bean, adding to its already fascinating beauty.
The osprey looks like a smaller version of the eagle. The bottoms of the feet are covered with spiked scales, which help the bird to grip and hold slippery fish.
The tail is white with alternating bands of white and dark brown. The head is white except for a brown stripe from the eye to the back of the head. Females are slightly larger than males and have darker streaking and a ring of brown spots around the neck. Osprey can be distinguished in flight by the characteristic downward bend or crook in their long narrow wings.
Ospreys are quite common in many parts of Florida – 1,500 to 2,000 pairs were thought to nest in the state in 1983, but their numbers have not been well documented in recent years. When you see an osprey in Florida it may be either a nesting year-around resident, or a bird migrating through the state from northern breeding sites.
Ospreys are usually found near water, primarily large lakes, slow-moving rivers, and coastal areas where trees or man-made structures provide perches or nesting sites. Ospreys feed mainly in mid-morning and late afternoon, hunting either from high perches or by soaring high above the water. When they spot a fish they hover briefly or dive straight into the water - head down, legs, toes and talons extended on either side of the head. During the dive they sometimes completely disappear under the water. Ospreys usually hold fish with both feet. If you watch closely, when they take off after a dive with a fish in their talons, you will often see them move their feet around and change their grip on the fish. They move the fish so that its head is pointing forwards, which reduces the drag.
In south Florida ospreys begin nesting in late November; further north, on Sanibel Island, they start nesting in January, and pairs in north Florida are nesting by late February. The large bulky nest consists of a huge pile of interwoven pile of sticks, lined with soft material such as moss or grass. The nest looks like a bald eagle nest but is smaller.
Osprey usually nest in the tops of tall trees, but in Florida Bay and the offshore islands nests are in low mangroves or even on the ground. Osprey often nest on radio towers, light towers at ball fields and man-made nest platforms. As the number of suitable tall nest trees dwindles, these birds regularly nest on utility poles and many Florida electrical companies have programs to accommodate ospreys.
I found this one along the shore of Kissimmee River in Polk County, Florida.

This fantastic male delighted many birders and photographers alike for months in Sussex.
50 years ago, the Union Pacific rostered a smorgasbord of diesel locomotive types. On August 11, 1977, a PVSC readies for departure from the UP yard in Provo, Utah for Salt Lake City. Leading the charge is a rare GE U28C (UP only rostered 10 of them), followed by EMD SD24B, GP9B, GP30, and SD45 models.
As far as I know the first to describe this exuberantly orange Azalea was the well-known German-Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume (1796-1862). He wrote his short description in 1823 almost immediately after becoming director of 's-Lands Plantentuin (Kebun Raya) in what was then Buitenzorg, today Bogor on Java, Indonesia. There has been some confusion about the provenance of our shrub, whether China or Japan. Apparently both varieties are so alike that the scientific name on which scientists agree is Rhododendron molle (Blume) G. Don, subsp. japonicum Kron.
If you want to learn more go to the fine article - including great maps - by Kathleen Anne Kron (1956-) in the Edinburgh Journal of Botany 1993, pp.279-281. Worth a read.
