I was in my backyard taking moon shots, as I often am in the habit of doing. It was not until I downloaded the images that I saw a small, black object in several frames. Upon enlarging the image, you can see the bat's outline, appearing to fly right past the moon and out of sight! This first shot is just the moon, but each of the following frames capture the bat's outline as it passes the moon!

*This was not "layered" into the images. The event is completely natural and I will probably never have the good fortune to have it happen again! My Canon EOS 7D Mark II gets 10 frames per second; the bat was in 8 frames of the ten!
This gray squirrel was evidently not nice enough earlier in the year since it doesn't appear that Santa gave it the mittens and boots it was wishing for on Christmas day. That will teach it a thing or two about stealing sunflower seeds at bird feeders😁.
This female Orchard oriole appeared with the male later in the day. They are the smallest of the oriole family. I saw this gal in the pond's stream but liked her pose in the Maple tree with the green background better. The Cornell Labs says these are a later migrant and leave earlier so I may have missed the Baltimores this year.

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.

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
Spinus lawrencei male,
Morro Bay State Park marina trail,
Morro Bay, California
Several of these goldfinches appeared to be feeding on the flowers of Sweet Alyssum, Lobularia maritima, the flowers seen here. (This species is not common locally and these birds were discovered at this location several days ago.)
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.
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.

A couple of views of a young comrorant that was fishing in the rock pools at Maer Rocks Exmouth. It didn't seem worried by me at all.
A large and conspicuous waterbird, the cormorant has an almost primitive appearance with its long neck making it appear reptilian. It is often seen standing with its wings held out to dry. Regarded by some as black, sinister and greedy, cormorants are supreme fishers which can bring them into conflict with anglers and they have been persecuted in the past. The UK holds internationally important wintering numbers.
Nope. I couldn't live in a city. Do cities attract weird people or make them appear weird to 'normal' people visiting from the countryside? Or is it me that is weird? Either way I prefer somewhere quieter and less complicated. I like natural beauty and tranquillity.
Life in the city may seem one mad rush but actually this man is stood utterly and totally, frozen still. He's one of those people who stands statue still until you give him some money. I have to say he was marvellously convincing. It can't be easy to hold this position totally still for hours on end.
it appears as if we are going through the bridge (due to the reflections in the water).Also I am in the canoe taking this picture. There are two shadows of the canoe, we are farther to the right, you actually can not see us. There is no bridge underneath us. That to is a reflection in the water. (strange)
This beauty appeared in the field next to our cottage yesterday afternoon to hunt after two days of heavy rain and wind ...

Wow wow wow!! 2.5 yrs ago the robin at my old hide had 5 young unfortunately rats were seen killing 2 of the remaining 3 ,2 were leucistic 1 not a lot i called Storm the other an absolute beauty of a bird I called Blizzard.
Well after they had grown they were chased off by their parents and luckily 1 of the little whites went 200 yds to a friend lotty plot for a few weeks but disappeared.
Now my new place is the other side of the ground quite a distance away I have been there since last March and its affectionately know as the paddock hide.
Well yesterday I went down with the dogs and the camera and after an hour who should appear but Blizzard cant tell you how happy I am and to top it all as well as it being almost Christmas today is national robin day you I'm extremely happy to see my old friend (how old do robins live esp when their bright white) and I have a male sparrowhawk on the prowl?
What a delight just like to wish my flickr friends a very Merry Christmas and I really hope old blizzard becomes a regular fixture .

No es frecuente ver vuelvepiedras (Arenaria interpres) en las orillas de fango de la marisma salada, prefieren las costas arenosas y, sobre todo, rocosas. Pero todos los años un pequeño grupo de menos de diez ejemplares aparece por la marisma, en este caso luciendo su precioso plumaje nupcial.
___________________
Turnstones (Arenaria interpres) are not often seen on the muddy shores of the salt marsh; they prefer sandy and, above all, rocky shores. However, every year a small group of fewer than ten individuals appears in the marsh, in this case displaying their beautiful breeding plumage.
Have a fantastic day!

Musk Lorikeet
Glossopsitta concinna
Bird Overview: The Musk Lorikeet specialises in feeding on the nectar which is produced by flowering eucalypts, and sometimes also from the flowers of banksias and grevilleas. They collect nectar with their brush-shaped tongues. Musk Lorikeets are usually seen feeding in large noisy flocks in the canopy of eucalypts, often associating with other nectar-feeding birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets and honeyeaters. The movements of Musk Lorikeets are often correlated with the flowering of trees, with birds appearing when the trees are in bloom, and leaving after the flowering has finished.
Identification: The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail.
Songs and Calls: The usual contact call is a shrill metallic screech, higher than the Rainbow Lorikeet, in flight and when perched. They constantly chatter when feeding.
Habitat: Musk Lorikeets are found in tall, open, dry forest and woodlands, dominated by eucalypts and are usually found in the canopy. They are also seen in suburban areas, parks and street trees. They roost or loaf in tall trees away from their feeding sites.
Behaviour: Musk Lorikeets are gregarious, often mixing with other parrots when feeding, including Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Little Lorikeets and Swift Parrots.
Feeding: Musk Lorikeets feed in all levels of the canopy and are very active when foraging. They eat mainly pollen and nectar from eucalypts using their specialised brush-tipped tongues, but also eat seeds, fruits and insects and their larvae.
Breeding: Musk Lorikeets breed in hollow branches and holes in living eucalypts, often near watercourses. The entrance holes are usually very small, so they have to squeeze in. Eggs are laid on a base of chewed or decayed wood. The female incubate the eggs and both parents roost in the hollow at night.

Second picture of the series Hat Stone.
(Yes, believe it or not it is the same place, but from a different point of view towards the East and the great stone to the backlight. As explained in the previous picture, the place is very difficult to control light)
Dawn on the El Sombrerico Beach, several minutes before sunrise.
The name of this amazing beach is due to the huge rock shaped like a magician's hat that juts into the sea.
There are not many photographs of the area, may be because access to this beach is a little difficult, so after driving about 20 minutes fully night by a bad gravel road, you reach this cove by small cliffs headlamp in my head.
For this shot, I was lucky clouds drew lines in the sky and I could compose from that angle.
Moon also appears to the center-right of the frame due to missing several minutes for the sun to make his way out on the horizon.
To reach this picture in one unique Raw, I combined a four steps neutral filter and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

Sandhill Crane with Eastern Chipmunk in it's beak. The chipmunk escaped.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.

Magically appearing from the darkness...is my mirror-finish espresso cup. Reflecting in it is one giant dogwood flower from my backyard tree. (This cup is only 2" high)!!
This is the new 54,000 square metres large concert, congress and hotel complex in Malmö. The building consists of a composition of cubic volumes that are mutually twisted and given different sizes to meet the directions and building heights of the surrounding city. The façades are designed with a homogeneous expression to make the composition appear as one architectonic sculpture.
The new cultural centre becomes an open, expressive and dynamic building that is manifold in both its activities and its architecture. The point of departure for the building design is the modern Scandinavian architectural tradition with the clear functional organisation and the accessible and open ground floor lay-out. The building becomes the focal point and a landmark for Malmö – a place where the spirit of the city, the diversity and the intimacy is given an architectonic expression.
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!

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.
when this appeared on the pool this afternoon, I assumed it was a 2nd winter bird having a "Bad Hair Day". Do not remember seeing a sinensis race close to before although the book says they are common in UK. normal ones I see are Cormorant - Phalacrocorax carbo. sinensis race are sometimes reffered to as "Continental" & are slightly smaller than carbo
Mine appears to be overflowing because the acorn kept falling out....😁
On a more serious note, thoughts go out to people in my area who are affected by Storm Callum and have been left without power , affected by flooding and trees which were blown over during the night and continue to do so.
A cousy autumn morning starts with the appearance of mist near the scenes of Suonenjoki. Everything seems to be calm, but loud noises belonging to the empty freight train of Fenniarail echoe around the landscapes as the blue Vectron locomotive appears from the mist while preparing to dive into a nearby tunnel.

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.

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...
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.
This coyote appeared to be a youth. He passed through the field where I was birding this morning, its fur is a bit damp from the dew. It gave me the side glance a few times as it passed through the field. Don't worry, pup. Godspeed on your hunt. (But please don't get any cool birds 😜).

"No Filters!"
But of course filters are used, if I have a look at my cameras' settings, I'll discover all sorts of neat little adjustments. Digital adjustments which control the built in "filter" imbedded on the sensor. Camera phones included.
Another question I sometimes I ask myself.....Can anyone tell me "Why do sunsets have to be in color?". Nothing wrong with color, I love color imagery. We punch it up with our articificial software, adding more filtration beyond what our artificial camera/sensor provides (they ALL have built in filters btw, phones included) creating artificial scenes, which is fine if expressing an artitistic interpretation, but then many are then used to promote tourism.....are they *realistic* as to what any givien person would actually see? When we do this, are we bordering on "false advertising"?
Kinda like back in the days of airbrushing the models that appear on the magazine cover....it's fake. The only way to appreciate a scene is to acually see it with ones' own eyes....other than that, it's all "fake news". lol
And yes... I include my own images, but I never make any bones about it.... I'm an artist first, everything else is then my interpretation of what I see with no representation of "Come see this..." ....because it doesn't exist except of course, in my own mind. lol
Image was taken last night in front of our home as the sun was setting. Happy Sunday!
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!!!
Cairns appear as alien relics on the barren landscape at the summit of Mount Washington, in the Mount Washington State Park in New Hampshire. These act as trail markers above the tree line. They are placed close together so that it's possible to find the next one along the trail in the often-dense clouds or snow that cover the summit. These examples mark the path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail just as it approaches the summit of the mountain near Yankee House and radio towers from the west.
