Gondolas on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel and sited adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, appear to be components of a futuristic space station.
Eigentlich sind die Stare rechtzeitig vor dem großen Kälteeinbruch in Richtung Italien abgeflogen. Dieser hier aber hat wohl irgendwie den gemeinsamen Abflug verpasst. Als er heute bei mir im Garten auftauchte dachte ich erst ich sehe nicht richtig. Stare sind sehr gesellige Vögel, jeder der sie schon einmal gesehen hat weiß, dass sie immer in Gruppen auftreten und sich lauthals ständig austauschen. Diesem Star ist jetzt nicht nur ziemlich kalt, sondern er scheint auch einsam zu sein. In der Fichte hat er die Nähe zu einer Amsel gesucht aber die hat ihn nur angefaucht und auf Abstand gehalten. Ich drücke ihm die Daumen, dass er es allein durch den Winter schafft.

Actually, the starlings flew off in the direction of Italy in good time before the great cold snap. But this one here somehow missed the joint departure. When it appeared in my garden today, I thought at first I this cannot be a starling, I must be wrong. Starlings are very sociable birds, anyone who has ever seen them knows that they always appear in flocks and are always communicating with each other. This starling seems to feel pretty lonely. In the spruce it tried to get close to a male blackbird, but the blackbird hissed at him and kept him at a distance. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the starling makes it through the winter on his own.

Finally the weather gods were kind this morning and graced me with a misty start to the day so I dragged myself around Whiteleaf Woods and managed to bag myself some long awaited shots. Autumn colours are just starting to show, will be a good few weeks yet before some really nice colours appear.
Just loved this character as it appears to amble its merry way across the frame.
Happy Flickr Friday to you all!
This male (buck) Kangaroo is a Red (thanks Joy) and appears to be old and grizzled which also gives it the appearance of having its own personal sharpening halo 😊. One of its listening devices is pointed in my direction whilst the other is monitoring noises off to its left (viewer's right)
Kangaroos are the largest marsupial and can grow to 2-metres (6’7”) in height and weigh up to 90 kg (200 lbs) and whilst their average life span is not known it is believed to be 15 to 20 years although they can live longer in captivity.
They are able to reach speeds of 60 kph (37 mph) and clear more than 8 metres (26 feet) with a single hop using their powerful hind legs and their muscular tail which is used for balance when hopping and also acts as a third leg.
Their tail is also used for defense whereby they balance on their tail, lean back and lift both hind legs off the ground and kick with their powerful back legs in an endeavor to disembowel an opponent. They have very sharp claws on both their forelimbs and hind legs.

In 1936 a New South Wales hunter was killed by a kangaroo when he tried to rescue his two dogs from a heated battle.
Australia's Coat of Arms is held up by native Australian animals the kangaroo and the emu, which were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward, based on the fact that neither animal can move backwards easily.
On October 1, 2020 I traveled to the Highland Restaurant at the Eagle Ridge Territory outside Galena, Illinois where I knew there were beautiful flower gardens outside. I had just gotten a new Canon Camera with multiple lenses I wanted to try out. Photo Images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs(VLP & Designs).

This particular Lister Chevrolet appears to be a replica, built by Mark Lewis Design Engineering (a company with serious Lister pedigree, having restored BHL 127 that sold for over half a million dollars in 2013).
The car had been rolled out of the garages into the pitlane while it was warmed up, with it sitting at tickover for quite a while, the V8 adding a marvellous audio soundtrack to the proceedings.

I appear to have found the only Robin with a peanut allergy.... Or maybe it doesn't like this brand of peanut butter.
It appears I must have been (a) ever so slightly bored or (b) feeling a burst of creativity on 3 August 2019 as I went through my bag of magic props to come up with some kind of an abstracty macro. This is some gift wrapping ribbon which I'd bought and put aside for such a day. :-)
While I was waiting for the Sugar Gliders and Striped Possum to appear, at night, I've noticed this huge cicada in a nearby tree trunk.

Red-bellied Woodpeckers are common in many Eastern woodlands and forests, from old stands of oak and hickory to young hardwoods and pines. They will also often venture from forests to appear at backyard feeders.
Really struggled to think of something original and different for this theme on Crazy Tuesday. I tried a few different ideas but none of them seemed to work, especially not to my satisfaction.
Gave up for a while and decided, mid-afternoon to boil an egg as a snack as feeling a bit peckish and whilst the water was boiling away, the thought struck me that maybe there might be a suitable ‘motion blur’ shot in the pan, not just the egg!
I took some shots and, lo and behold I arrived at some images that might prove suitable, I thought. I chose this one and after a little cropping decided that it was different and in my mind, quite original. The water surface appears smoothed out, adopting an oily look and getting rid of the individual bubbles, small and big. In my mind it looks a bit like transparent lava in the mouth of a volcanic crater! I know, I have a weird brain!
See what you think!

This is a "lifer" for me. This appears to be a big year for northern birds like these descending here.
The heatwave continues. Fynn appeared from his hideout behind the garden shed where he had taken a nap among the tomatoes and checked the conditions. He is usually a cat who makes the best of all kinds of weather but he has definitely too much fur for this year's summer. At least the tomato plants are happy with the dry weather as it looks as if we'll have a splendid harvest.
Although he appeared to be very strong, this fellow seemed like a beginner rock climber. He reached this height and stopped, clinging to the fingerholds. He kept calling down to someone (about an additional 50 feet out of the frame) for instructions on how to proceed. We watched for 20 minutes and he did not proceed further during that time. He was about halfway to the summit.
Evidently rock climbing is permitted in this area because there was a climber on each rock face near the parking area. Some were experienced; some seemed like they were stuck, like the guy in the picture.
Taken on our "sunny" day at the Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado. ...?
The Juvenile Red-backed Shrike appeared randomly one day on my garden. I thought he was just passing by since migration just started, but after more than a week, he is still here so...is he lost?
These small inshore fishing boats in Mevagissey's inner harbour are normally used to fish for crab and lobster. This part of the harbour dates from the late 1700s and is on the site of a medieval quay. Mevagissey lies on the south coast of Cornwall and is said to have the second largest fishing fleet in Cornwall. The inner harbour is normally fairly full, so on this occasion most of the boats would appear to have gone to sea, although a few are moored in the outer harbour.

We were photographing the species that appeared when the guide excitedly told us that an owlet was vocalizing. Since we hadn't photographed an owlet before, we tried with renewed enthusiasm to identify the origin of the sound, but quickly became discouraged as it seemed beyond our capacity to identify a bird that we already knew to be very small, although we had never seen one before. We refocused on what was displayed before our eyes and didn't think about it anymore.
After about 15 minutes, the guide exclaimed excitedly, "it's over there". However, even with the explanation of where to look, it was not easy and some of us took a few minutes to follow the instructions of the trunks to find this small, but beautiful, ball of feathers!
We spent another 10 minutes photographing this beauty, searching for possible angles, backgrounds, and frames. I even managed to find a second bird by myself. The difficult part is finding the first one :)

Appears to be mix of Canada Goose and Grey Lag Goose.
Looks like a Canada Goose but the Legs and Beak are the wrong colours.
This capture was early morning shortly after Sun Rise in the golden light.
Mouamein, NSW
This is a wetland on my brother's farm in the southern Riverina of NSW. Every year he receives an allocation of environmental water to replicate natural flooding. The wildlife that appears is wonderful and every night I was there we were serenaded by a chorus of frogs. Moments before I took this there were several Moorhens on the water but they were a bit camera shy unfortunately.
Subject appears bigger than life , ,les pastilles de vichy de mon enfance et celles de mes petits enfants,elle sèment partout cette poudre blanche ..,
appears this bird had a injury of some type, missing two claws....suppose possibly freezing temps or maybe leyla's or lana's cat attack, who knows
At the beginning of the climb, immediately after the first bend, he appeared to me up there, one step away from the sky. He was the Great Buddha thath, with its big size, dominates the entire island of Phuket. That enormous statue is one of the major tourist attractions, but I was going there for another reason: the maid who cleaned my room daily had told me that the Great Buddha granted wishes, especially those of a sentimental nature. You knelt under him, mentally made your request and inserted a coin into the slot of a small box located nearby and you could be sure that the enchantment would come true. Your beloved was shot as if the Buddha were our Cupid and shot her arrow. ::
I was interested in it because on the day of my first arrival on Patong beach I had seen a free sunbed near the one that supported the graces of a beautiful oriental girl with bewitching eyes and a tempting smile. After the first chat, she had finally agreed to a meeting for the evening. So I went to the great Buddha hoping for a pleasant evening and a crackling night.
Do you want to know how it ended?
Things went so well that we soon went to her house. But at the end, as I give her the last kiss and say goodbye she says to me: "hey dear, you forget something: you owe me 200 dollars"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ad inizio salita, subito dopo la prima curva, mi apparve lassù, ad un passo dal cielo. Era il Grande Buddha che, con la sua mole, sovrasta tutta l'isola di Phuket. Quell'enorme statua è uno dei punti di maggior attrazione turistica, ma io ci stavo andando per un altro motivo: la cameriera che giornalmente ripuliva le mia camera mi aveva raccontato che il grande Buddha esaudiva i desideri, in particolare quelli di natura sentimentale. Tu t'inginocchiavi sotto di lui, mentalmente facevi la tua richiesta e inserivi una moneta nella fessura di una cassettina situata là vicino e potevi star sicuro che l'incanto si avverava. La tua amata veniva colpita come se il Buddha fosse il nostro Cupido e lanciasse la sua freccia. ::
Ne ero interessato perché il giorno del mio primo arrivo sulla spiaggia di Patong avevo adocchiato un lettino libero vicino a quello che sorreggeva le grazie di una bella orientale dagli occhi ammalianti e dal sorriso tentatore. Dopo le prime chiacchiere, finalmente aveva accettato un incontro per quella sera. Così andavo dal grande Buddha confidando in una simpatica serata e una scoppiettante nottata.
Volete sapere com'è finita?
Le cose si sono messe così bene che presto siamo andati a casa sua. Ma alla fine, mentre le dò l'ultimo bacino e la saluto lei mi fa: "ehi carino, dimentichi qualcosa: mi devi 200 dollari"
These people were hogging the dragon head rock I was aiming to capture, instead of waiting for them to leave, I might as well snap a photo of them.
Appeared as background of ABC news weather segment of Melbourne
Flocks of Snow Buntings appear pervasively in Northern Michigan every winter. They are usually not hard to find, but they are always a challenge to photograph because the flock is always quick to fly away. I was able to capture this bird, along with several others in early November. A flock would feed on the shores of Lake Superior while this bird landed regularly in a tree near open grass. This bird and a few friends would land frequently and look for food on the ground. The secret was simply to stay put and shoot until something good jumped into my lens.
True happiness ensues indirectly. It always appears in a state of non-search.

This Great Blue Heron looked very impressive as it displayed all of its plumes at Everglades National Park. Then it stuck its long tongue out (at me?). His bill appears to be closed, but his tongue is out. I'm not sure what he was doing, but I am sure that many viewers of this picture will have an answer :-)
.... but none appears.

I took this photo of the Wolf Moon (the first full moon of 2022) on 18th January 2022. It appeared so near and large and I used a similar technique to the one I used with one of my first photographs added to Flickr, with the setting sun, framing the moon with some garden foliage.
Since my first upload of the setting sun in 2015 I have become confident converting a number of my colour photographs to black and white (as is the case with this one). I really enjoy the creativity that I can achieve with tonal values in black and white images.
It was interesting to see that this image was also taken with a trusty compact (three versions later), although I now have a bridge camera and a 4/3 mirrorless camera.

The sweet beginnings of a shaggy ink cap mushroom, having just pushed up from the earth. Just a few cm in height. Soon the bell- shaped cap will open out.
I wanted to record this initial stage before the stalk grew and the more classic mushroom shape development began.
I've learned some truly interesting words along the way, one of which is 'puhpowee'....a Native American Algonquian word for the force that causes mushrooms to push up and appear overnight.

In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

These have appeared in the garden over the last few weeks - tiny things, about 4-6 mm across on average.
"These odd and fascinating little fungi look for all the world like tiny birds' nests. The fruiting bodies form little cuplike nests which contain spore-filled eggs. The nests are called "peridia" ("peridium" in the singular), and serve as splash cups; when raindrops strike the nest, the eggs (called "periodoles") are projected into the air, where they latch onto twigs, branches, leaves, and so on. What exactly happens next is not completely clear, but eventually the spores are dispersed from the egg. They then germinate and create mycelia, which eventually hook up with other mycelia and produce more fruiting bodies." - www.mushroomexpert.com/birdsnests.html
Here is another garage shot, this time of the Paul Castaldini raced 1962 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low Drag Coupe that appears to be a copy of the "49 FXN" car that features the long nose that was prototyped for Le Mans.
The unusual shade of green was eye catching under the garage lights, and makes a change from the silver of the FXN cars.

White-crowned Sparrows appear each winter over much of North America to grace our gardens and favorite trails (they live in parts of the West year-round). The smart black-and-white head, pale beak, and crisp gray breast combine for a dashing look – and make it one of the surest sparrow identifications in North America. Watch for flocks of these sparrows scurrying through brushy borders and overgrown fields, or coax them into the open with backyard feeders. As spring approaches, listen out for this bird’s thin, sweet whistle.
