I love this clump of trees, I've photographed it a few times but never managed to get it in its entirity from this angle capturing the crazy angle of growth. This is a six image stitch with some fills as had to duplicate some sky to fill in the blanks to make rectangular image. Taken on Whiteleaf Cross, Buckinghamshire.
Small presents are retaining the friendship and strengthen the connection. This is not only applying for us humans but also for this beautiful couple of bee-eaters. Even if the lady is for sure capable to take care for herself, the young man is bringing his beloved a little snack from time to time.
This is reminding me of times when young man were climbing on balconies only to give the woman of their dreams a bunch of self picked wild flowers. Today, You get some emojis at Instagram. I think this is not quite the same.
Kleine Geschenke erhalten die Freundschaft und stärken die Verbindung. Dies gilt nicht nur für uns Menschen sondern auch für dieses wunderschöne Bienenfresser Pärchen. Obwohl die Dame durchaus in der Lage ist selbst für sich zu sorgen, bringt der Jüngling seiner Geliebten von Zeit zu Zeit einen Imiss vorbei.
Das erinnert an Zeiten, als die jungen Männer auf Balkone geklettert sind, nur um der Frau ihrer Träume einen selbst gepflückten Strauß Wildblumen zu überreichen. Heute gibt es ein paar Emojis auf Instagram. Ich finde, dass ist nicht ganz das gleiche.

An always alert Blue Jay pauses for a moment to take note of its surroundings as it busily pursues breakfast on a Flaming Sumac seed head. Love its curious 'flared eyebrow feather' pose.
Abundant and common year round.
An overly processed shot of our beach are. It is so much fun to manipilate the normal looking shots.
Happy Sliders Sunday
I was up early on the day I had a long drive (this picture was taken at 4:00am) and this gave me the chance to see another lovely sunrise. The fishermen in this trawler were obviously up even earlier than I was as they leave for the day's fishing!
……What more could you want, light ✓, camera ✓, action ✓ and with the perfect location thrown in for good measure. Another shot from Marloes sands down in Pembrokeshire.…

“May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland’s faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.” ~ An Irish Blessing
A member of the pea family, these are the remains of the seed pods of Broom. They release the seeds from their pods with an explosive split that throws the contents out. What remains in the autumn are lifeless, dried shells seen here.

He arrived at 9am for breakfast and everything was normal but I repositioned his favourite feeder and he couldn't see it when he arrived at 2pm. He threw a Trump sized tantrum, he went crazy. I had to go out and show him where it was... about 15 metres. He sat and watched me walk over to it then flew over and filled up again but still gave me an occasion dirty look.
This is Rice Lake in North Vancouver. We've walked around it many times (it's a beautiful short hike), but last month, it was the highest we'd ever seen it and it was frozen. If you walk to that bench on the left and have a seat (brrr!), you get a great view of the lake in the right image. The rocks and branches lying on top of the ice were a surprise to me....gave it kind of an eerie feel.
HBM!

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays
The rookery at Resoft consists of three small islands in a relatively small pond. Cattle Egrets (I'd estimate a thousand, maybe more) currently dominate the rookery. A Cattle Egret was photographed ensnared in monofilament (fishing line) hanging from a tree on one of the islands. This distressed bird came to the attention of the authorities who sent workers in boats to free the bird. This intervention (I'd never seen humans on any of the islands before) profoundly disturbed the nesting birds, which took to the air in flocks multiple times as the rescue operation progressed. This photo and the next were taken one tenth of a second apart. They document one of the disturbances. The question is: Is the life of one Cattle Egret worth the disruption to a rookery of a thousand birds? Let me know your opinion. Resoft County Park, Alvin, Texas.

An image of a Yellow-throated Vireo taken last weekend at Yarmouth Natural Heritage area in Sparta, Ontario.
I was watching for a brood of young ducks I had just seen when this fine fellow landed on a branch right in front of me. I had to shorten my focal length down to capture a good shot. Luckily he seemed undisturbed by me and stayed perched for awhile allowing me to get many good shots.
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend!!

Fritillaria Meleagris, also known as Snake's head Fritillary presumably because of the way the bud looks prior to opening. This one has just gone past that stage and is beginning to open.
I would try and get a shot of one of those buds but not sure if they will still be around - woke up this morning to about 3" of snow everywhere. More than we have had all winter......
An imagination morning
Arrived very early in the morning at this wonderful place on earth.First of all for a long distance hike in the Dachstein massive and a stop at the Adamekhütte.I can’t resist and I took some shots with a beautiful,no no a stunning sunrise ,a gorgeous glowing at the high peaks and a absolutely nice atmosphere in calmness.
Well before Sat-Nav and GPS a gentleman needed an accurate guide to the country. Often small maps that could be taken with you on your travels would be used. Sydney Hall was a well known map-maker from the Victorian era and he produced many maps that were not too big that might be carried about with you.
In 1855, he published this ‘travelling atlas of the English Counties with all the railways’, about the size of an iPad mini!
There were 46 maps, all the counties of England, the Channel Islands, folding maps of Wales, Scotland and Ireland and a double-page general map of England and Wales. The maps are detailed and hand-coloured, with heights shown by shading or hachuring as well as including the canals and railways that existed then.
I bought this atlas in the late 70’s for about £20 as it was in a sorry state, that’s why I got it cheap as even then they were selling for several hundred pounds fully restored. At present, all the maps are loose as there is no spine although the back and front boards are present. The pages are yellowed often with some edge damage. I had intended to sell off the maps individually but decided to keep the collection together. It just needs a good restorer to work their magic on it. Do you know one?
