It appears this house finch is napping :)
Captured this afternoon as the sun was about to set here in Baltimore.
The city appears in the historical record dating back in 1336 by its medieval Greek name Argyrókastro as part of the Byzantine Empire. It first developed in the hill where the Gjirokastër Fortress is located. In this period, Gjirokastër was contested between the Despotate of Epirus and the Albanian clan of Zenebishi under Gjon Zenebishi who made it his capital in 1417. It was taken by the Ottomans in 1418, a year after's Gjon's death and it became the seat of the Sanjak of Albania. Throughout the Ottoman era, Gjirokastër was officially known in Ottoman Turkish as Ergiri and also Ergiri Kasrı. During the Ottoman period conversions to Islam and an influx of Muslim converts from the surrounding countryside made Gjirokastër go from being an overwhelmingly Christian city in the 16th century into one with a large Muslim population by the early 19th century. Gjirokastër also became a major religious centre for Bektashi Sufism.
Taken by the Hellenic Army during the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913, Gjirokastër was eventually incorporated into the newly independent state of Albania in 1913. The local Greek population rebelled and established the short-lived Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus in 1914 with Gjirokastër as its capital. During the communist period, Gjirokastër was designated a "museum city" due to its architectural heritage.
Gjirokastër is the birthplace of former Albanian communist leader Enver Hoxha.
I almost missed this - Twice!
My son (an amazing photographer) told me the northern lights were appearing over the city and that I should come and shoot them.
He had seen some nice color but by the time I arrived, the reds had disappeared. While we did have some color, it was a green hue only. Now I'd never even seen that before, so it was really cool, but I really was hoping for some red. After an hour of waiting, we'd decided to hang it up and I packed up and headed out.
My son had been chatting with another photographer and hadn't left yet - when the reds returned a few minutes after I left. He called me and said "they are back". I pulled a u-turn on the the road and doubled back.
I'm pretty sure I missed an explosion of reds but I was able to capture this view with some reds and greens illuminating the sky.
It is a rare occasion that the northern lights reach this far south.
What a sight!

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.
The dragonflies appeared after about 15mins on the edge of the pond but each time the emperor settled the male chaser would chase it away so no chance of a closer shot. I saw a couple of black-tailed skimmers but they never stopped.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
This beautiful dragonfly appears to be an immature Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis). This individual was living in early May at Jones Lake State Park in North Carolina and was a fantastic model for the camera. During the photo session, we witnessed the animal hunting and eating a number of flying insects. This animal seems to prefer to perch on this stick as it waited to identify prey insects passing by.

These amazing mushrooms appear very late in the year and can be found throughout winter. Freezing does not harm them and they can pick up their growth again once the temperatures are above zero. They are edible, with the cultivated variety known as Enoki. In the wild there are some very similar, but deadly species, though.
Thank you for your visit, comments and faves. They are much appreciated.
What appears to look like a scene straight out of British Columbia is just Mt Shasta soaring well above the railroad and the conveniently named town of Mt Shasta. This was a shot I knew I wanted with this train, and originally I thought I wasn’t going to get it until I found out the southbound MHKRV I was chasing was only about twenty minutes in front of this grainer. After this I would follow the train until Lakehead before heading home.
A VSTP appeared this morning from Crewe to WH Davis. Always interesting to see what is going into the wagon workshops. 37218 rumbles down platform 1 working 6E28 0933 Crewe South Yard to Shirebrook Davis & Son.
The letter box crop slightly enforced by the Sony's inability to cope with the contrasting sky, or my inability to get the settings right. I thought about a replacement sky for 2 seconds. In my defence the sun was in and out.

A field just north of a ghost town in Alberta. The trees are two rows, running north to south and are about 178 metres/ 600 feet in length. surrounded by Canola. One wonders why those two rows are where they are? What purpose did they once serve? It appears they may have been planted many years ago. Looking at it on Google Satellite, it's an odd placement in the field. Either way, it made for an interesting shot I think.
Photographed at my home. This sparrow appears to be molting. It has a few brownish feathers on its crown. IMG_4959
I had to end my postings from Sapsucker Woods at Cornell Institute with my sunny little friend. He LOVED the shutter click of my camera and would suddenly appear, always keeping a safe distance, but curiously leaning as close as he could from his safe perch. I like to think he contributed to my finding 3 new birds.....one surprise (Olive-sided Flycatcher) and 2 I had been looking for forever (Hairy WP and Wood Thrush). I hated to leave this mecca for birds.....habitat-wise and as an informative, fascinating and beautiful center for birding. But most of all.......thanks and goodbye to my little yellow buddy!

The Lord God Almighty Has Appeared | English Christian Song | " None Can Do God's Work in His Stead "
Introduction
The work of God is done by God Himself. It is He who sets His work in motion, and also He who concludes it. It is He who plans the work. It is He who manages it, moreover brings the work to fruition. It is as stated in the Bible, “God is the Beginning and the End; God is the Sower and also the Reaper.” “God is the Beginning and the End; God is the Sower and also the Reaper, and also the Reaper.” All that is related to the work of His management is done by His hand, done by His hand. God is the Ruler of the 6,000-year management plan. There is not anyone who can do His work in His stead. There is not anyone, not anyone who can bring His work to a close, for He is in control of all. Since He created the world, He will lead the whole world to live in His light, live in His light. Since He created the world, He will lead the whole world, He will lead the whole world to live in His light, and He will conclude the entire age to bring all of His plan to fruition, bring all of His plan to fruition!

It appears that the building was shortened sometime after the sign was painted. To me the ghost looks fairly recent, like Mid-Twentieth Century. In the background is the dome atop the US Post Office on Hillsdale Street.

This lonely tree caught my eye as it appeared to be traversing the hilltop with the aid of a stick! Taken at Blewburton Hill, South Oxfordshire
* Selected to appear in the Superhearts Gallery February 2010.
* Selected to appear on the Breathtaking Group blogspot February 2010.
The two larger trees always seem to me to be sheltering the smaller one in the middle, even more so today after the heavy snowfall.
Snow silences everything, there was no sound at all; just a white landscape under a bluey-grey sky, and these three trees.
Taken today around noon by the Lodge cottage.
Between what appears like a wrinkly, "old guy" hand and a very mesmerizing eye this black crowned night heron could pass for a hypnotist, luring in unsuspecting prey. This image is uncropped.
Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments - they are much appreciated!

Appears to be an early 1.8 variant but I'm unable to determine where it was first registered. Two differing Spanish plate checks suggest October 1989 and March 2006.
Departing RAF Fairford after appearing at the Royal International Air Tattoo with full after burners this Luftwaffe EF 2000 Typhoon Eurofighter 30-29 from the "74th Fighter Wing" better known as "Jagdgeschwader 74" part of the German Air Defence force.
A few days ago, the above art work appeared overnight on an outside wall of Reading Prison which has stood empty since it closed at the end of 2013. There was immediate speculation it was the work of the street artist Banksy whose identity has never been confirmed despite the fact his numerous works have appeared at various locations over a long period of years.
The paintings often form a social message and can be controversial. Reading Prison is very much a controversial place – it is owned by the Ministry of Justice who have been trying to dispose of it for the last 7 years. For them one of the problems is the property is designated a grade II listed building which means it cannot be demolished or substantially altered without prior consent from the Local Authority – Reading Borough Council. There have been calls for it to be used as a public amenity such as a theatre or arts facility and a deal to redevelop it has fallen through so in effect there has been little or no progress for 7 years.
Yesterday Banksy confirmed it was his art work although he did not shed any light on who the figure was supposed to be. Much of the local view is that it is a representation of Oscar Wilde, the Victorian actor, writer and poet who was incarcerated there from 1895 to 1897 – probably the prisons main claim to fame.
It is questionable as to whether the painting helps or hinders the current deadlock although it has provided some amusement for local residents in what is otherwise a depressing time!

I liked the way this tree appears to be pushing its way ahead of the pack in a show-off kind of way. Taken in Hillock Woods, Prices Risborough
This appears to have done a massive 174,000 miles, although it's hard to be 100% sure. It was on 95,000 in 2013, but there have been some odd readings since.
In nice condition.
Cracks appear on the surface and, exposed, the fingers of God reach in. Then the light shines and gives meaning to life, and that life rejoices in the knowledge that there is more to this than we first thought. We have meaning and we have purpose.
Ruins of Despair,
Cadini of Misurina, appear like the ruins of a titanic cathedral in the last feeble light of the day.The spooky atmosphere was magical.

Yes, this is my very first pinhole photograph. I am not sure why I am so excited about something that appears to be on such an inferior quality compared to what is possible today but I am anyway. I have started pursuing black and white film again recently and now am trying to see what pinhole photography can offer.

While the migratory birds are departing for warmer places and the mammals grow their winter coats, the northern prairie undergoes a rapid and dramatic transformation. The green hills have turned brown and orange; red fruits appear on the buffaloberry bushes. Days are shorter, nights cooler. Change is in the air...
In October my friend George, the film maker, came down from Swift Current for a screening of his documentary, Wild Prairie Man, at the Palais Royale Theatre in Val Marie. The next morning he came by my house in the pitch dark and we headed out to Grasslands, watching as the southeastern sky began to glow and brighten, and then looking for a good spot to get out as the first direct rays began to sweep the prairie.
We stopped somewhere between the former Dixon and Walker ranches, now part of the national park. Here the broad plateau was broken by gullies that drain snowmelt each spring into the Frenchman River, seen here as a dark band of shadow near the top of the frame, but not far away, lined with small trees and shrubs. I used a wide angle lens to emphasize the foreground - in fact this shot is 75% foreground, and the distances look greater than they really are.
Nevertheless, it's a large valley; behind me, the hills rose up just as they do on the far side. I often imagine this place in early post-glacial times, when much of this valley would have been filled with water: the Frenchman rolling southward into the Missouri drainage, as it does today with far less volume. What a privilege to be here, now, in a place filled with wildlife, on the relatively untouched prairie, with only the breeze making small sounds through dry grasses, and sometimes carrying distant coyote voices. But my fingers were numb with the cold. Soon I'd be breaking out the winter parka, boots, gloves, mitts, and wool hat.

It appears that this cowboy is going to get trampled by the bucking bronco he had just been trying to ride. Russian River Rodeo.
I've noticed these lovely little fairy houses popping up in random places around our local neighbourhood recently. They are actually hand-painted seashells and are a really sweet and thoughtful touch, especially in these trying days. Happy Window Wednesday!

This appeared at the bottom of the wall, where it climbs and sprawls and flowers much earlier than the shrubs, so I wonder whether the prostrate form I lost to the frost might be one of its parents...
Wingspan 30-35 mm.
A variable species, some examples of which can resemble other Acronicta species, but this moth usually shows a curved white mark near the rear edge of the forewing, even in melanic specimens.
It is widely distributed and quite common in most of Britain, including Scotland where it occurs widely but is less frequent.
On the wing in May to July, there is a second brood in southern England, appearing in August and September. The larvae feed on a range of herbaceous plant
Another colorful leader and consist appeared on the Seligman Sub today with an ethanol train from Lawler, IA to Stockton, CA. The train originated at the Homeland Energy Solutions plant and was handed off from the CPKC to the BNSF at Kansas City. BNSF is running it as the U-CLHEES7-30A with 98 loads at 5832' and 13,582 tons. Here the CSXT 3424 and 249, and KCSM 4515 have them climbing out of the sag at Bootlegger and into the curve under the San Francisco Peaks. Looking back over the train, one will see 2 BNSF mid-train DP's providing another 8800hp. The entire scene should be under the cover of snow, but the warm winter has prevented any moisture from staying in place except for at the extreme elevations of northern Arizona.

"the virgin appeared to me in a dream disguised as an old woman na parang nasunog sa araw. that was october of last year. when i said old i meant na para syang nasa 30's nya pero somehow e parang ang tanda ng aura nya. may kasama syang 4 year old kid na may hawak na pongkan. she said, " dalawin mo ako, look into my eyes."
this message i sent to a friend a few weeks ago. sya kasi ang author ng "Lambong" alay sa birhen ng orani. librong naglalaman ng mga tala at kasaysayan ng birhen ng orani.
nang buwan ding yon na mapanaginipan ko sya nagpunta ang kapatid ko sa balanga. he was invited at a veterinary symposium there. while they roam the place nakita nya sa isang calendar ang birhen ng orani at kinuhanan nya ng pic ang nasabing kalendaryo. pag uwi nya ng bahay ay pinakita nya sa akin. that was the first time na makita ko ang image nya. iba ang kulay nya duon. mas maitim at matambok ang kanyang mga pisngi...
i said i must see her...
and see her i did. i dnt remember what month that was. napanaginipan ko sya ulit. this time she was alone at may dala rin syang isang tinapay na pagkalaki-laki, hugis siopao. mamon tigas ang tawag namin dun sa pampanga. nag request ako at ipinasyal ako ni ian sa simbahan pero linggo nun ang dami ng tao at di ko na sya nalapitan. ohhh naalala ko na. un ung kapistahan ng bacolor pampanga. bago kami lumayag papuntang bacolor ay dinaanan namin ang simbahan ng orani. i silently prayed na sana masolo ko sya minsan sa aking pagdalaw.
may 3. out of the blue binalak kong pumunta. linggo nuon kaya sure ako na maraming tao. pero itinuloy ko pa din ang aking balak. the road in lubao is being widened that time kaya na traffic ako ng sobra. halos tanghalian na nung makarating ako sa dambana nya.
WHOA! not a single soul was in sight. as in kami lng ng birhen at nang kanyang anak ang andun. what an experience...
i so love her new encarna. lalo na ang sa nino.
A coast live oak appears to cup the Sun within it's long branches like a bowl of hot soup.
It's basically having lunch. The oak tree takes in carbon dioxide and water molecules and makes food with the Sun. The energy from sunlight causes a chemical reaction to break down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. The oxygen is released from the same tiny holes through which the carbon dioxide entered.
I'm fortunate to share this image with you all via Explore Thanks to the flickr community for your feedback and the continued encouragement! Cheers!!!
Vietnam took me by surprise. It appeared everyone had the latest Iphone and scooter.
Texting while riding is common place but it's not as precarious as it sounds. The pace on the major streets is never excessive. Everyone appears to move as one mass. People do not seem concerned about beating each other to the next stop. No road rage or flipping people off, even when it gets incredibly congested. I saw no accidents or angry disputes ... very foreign and un-american.
Crossing the street for the first time during rush hour is a leap of faith. One simply starts walking across the street thru the traffic in a deliberate fashion and all the scooters drive around you. It seems like chaos at first but it works. Everyone adjusts to those around them, continuous cooperation in harmony.
