....is the Batman?!
Off learning Photoshop maybe? Taken in the Black Dragon. No post work. And no, I don't own a batsuit.
Interested, but not interested enough to go outside and check...

But as autumn approaches, certain influences both inside and outside the plant cause the chlorophylls to be replaced at a slower rate than they are being used up. During this period, with the total supply of chlorophylls gradually dwindling, the "masking" effect slowly fades away. Then other pigments that have been present (along with the chlorophylls) in the cells all during the leaf's life begin to show through. These are carotenoids they give us colorations of yellow, brown, orange, and the many hues in between.
The reds, the purples, and their blended combinations that decorate autumn foliage come from another group of pigments in the cells called anthocyanins. These pigments are not present in the leaf throughout the growing season as are the carotenoids. They develop in late summer in the sap of the cells of the leaf, and this development is the result of complex interactions of many influences - both inside-and outside the plant. Their formation depends on the breakdown of sugars in the presence of bright light as the level of a certain chemical (phosphate) in the leaf is reduced.
But in the fall, phosphate, along with the other chemicals and nutrients, moves out of the leaf into the stem of the plant. When this happens, the sugar-breakdown process changes, leading to the production of anthocyanin pigments. The brighter the light during this period, the greater the production of anthocyanins and the more brilliant the resulting color display that we see. When the days of autumn are bright and cool, and the nights are chilly but not freezing, the brightest colorations usually develop.

Online photo exhibition is the last 3 days! For details, check the description. I was planning to actually exhibit it at a gallery in Tokyo in April, but it was postponed at the request of the government.
COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 is attacking all over the world. Japan is no exception, and everyday is becoming more difficult. As a photographer, I also thought about life and postponed the exhibition according to the government's request. The Japanese government does not support artists. So I decided to hold an online photo exhibition. This is free to watch.
The photo exhibition should be in the dark in the room at night, preferably with the playlist. Look at the brightness of mobile terminals at 1/3.
Thank you for your support. Thanks to everyone, we had more access than in Japan. Thank you. Last but not least, I would be happy if you could share the URL of the photo exhibition on your SNS. Thank you!
COVID-19、SARS-CoV-2は世界中で攻撃しています。 日本も例外ではなく、日々の日常がますます難しくなっています。 写真家として、命のことも考え、政府の要請で展覧会を延期しました。 日本政府はアーティストをサポートしていません。 そこで、オンライン写真展を開催することにしました。 これは無料で見れます。
写真展は、出来ればプレイリストと一緒に、部屋を暗くし携帯端末の明るさを1/3に見てください。
ご支援いただきありがとうございます。 おかげさまで、日本よりも多くのアクセスがありました。 ありがとうございました。 最後になりましたが、写真展のURLをSNSでシェアしていただければ幸いです。 ありがとうございました！
"Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds," according to allaboutbirds.org. Maybe that explains why I spotted this Merlin perched high in the treetops at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, a place where lots of songbirds pass through during Spring migration. The scientific name for these predators, which are only about the size of a pigeon, is Falco columbarius.
No one said that tears do not escorreriam by the face, but smiling maybe you can use those tears as spiritual cleansing and let it rain. Rain until the sun reappears and overflow you from light. No one said that you would be able to see clearly everything around you, but smiling maybe you will rediscover the path after tripping a few times. Nobody said it would be easy and its not!.
Love to give him/her a name but for now just “A Grizzly Bear”
One of our dreams was to visit Alaska and Denali National Park. The national park itself is incredible. We were so glad we had planned for Denali. We took the 8.5 hour bus tour into the park - just long enough to get deep but not long enough to see the entire beauty. Great place. Beautiful and vast wilderness. See wildlife in its very own, untouched environment. Nature at its finest.

Last but not leat we arrive at the former small fishing village of Arromanches-les-Bains.
After the invasion this village turned into a busy logistic centre, due to the construction of the artificial "Mulberry harbor".
All Allied troops were supplied frome here.
The remains of this harbor are still visible off the coast.

from Wikipedia:
"A mineral lick (also known as a salt lick) is a place where animals can go to lick essential mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals. Natural licks are common, and they provide essential elements such as phosphorus and the biometals (sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, and trace elements) required for bone, muscle and other growth in herbivorous mammals such as deer, moose, elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, tapirs, woodchucks, fox squirrels, mountain goats, porcupines, and frugivorous bats. Such licks are especially important in ecosystems such as tropical rainforests and grasslands with poor general availability of nutrients."
WITH LESS THAN 2000 still living in the wild according to the IUCN Red List the Grevy's Zebra is listed as ENDANGERED
It is the tallest of all zebras and of all living species of wild equids. Some of the distinctive features are well visible in this image:
A large and long head with huge ears that are round
Narrow and closely spaced stripes
No stripes on the belly
A tall and erect mane that extends into a black stripe on the top of the body

this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

Beautiful, but Moody September……
Last September was quite rainy here in Belgium, though not cold…I decided to walk with my dog that lovely , calm afternoon , around lovely Lake Genval…
A certain moment I entered into the Yachting Club lovely area, and proceeded onto its wooden platforms to take some pictures. It was really so lovely and calm, though cloudy..
This was taken with my old E5700 Nikon Point & shoot,
used to take great macros with that, still have it but the batteries are dead.
Ladybugs gather around the pond in the park,
Love the the rose bushes for mating,
Somehow, I missed travelling but I feel stuck here at home on a loop. Anyways, I hope all of us can travel and wander our hearts off soon. ♡

but I am arrogant enough to mean "lower forms of animal life" when I refer to animals. Thus, when I say that I like animals, I do not necessarily include my own species, among whom are large numbers of individuals for whom I have no fondness at all, and some whom I hold in utter contempt. Indeed, I sometimes wonder why "You're an animal" is an insult; it seems to me that, if animals could talk, "You're a human" would be one of their favorite insults :-)

No wish but to dive in deep
What’s it to be done
No breath to hold in deep
What’s it to be done
In a sea within a whirlpool, I am
No wish to answer to anyone
What’s it to be done?

I did have a steam and fence shot, but I've left that at home, this one is a reminder of the snow just before Christmas so festive and now just a distant memory it would seem.
Got knocked back from a fence group last week, so this one is a little more obvious:) hope it is ok.
Happy fence Friday!

I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh-oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
"But is that true? Because a tree in spring buds and comes greenly into leaf, are those leaves therefore the tree? If the newborn twigs and their leaves were all that existed, they would form a vague halo of green suspended in mid-air, but surely that is not the tree. The leaves, by themselves, are no more than trivial fluttering decoration. It is the trunk and limbs that give the tree its grandeur and the leaves themselves their meaning. There is not a discovery in science, however revolutionary, however sparkling with insight, that does not arise out of what went before. 'If I have seen further than other men,' said Isaac Newton, 'it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." — Adding a Dimension: Seventeen Essays on the History of Science, by Isaac Asimov.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Thanks for the visits folks. Thank you for the inspiration many of your streams bring me.
Unspoilt places still exist, but for how much longer?
One of Québec’s last great rivers, the Magpie is under imminent threat from mega damming and hydroelectric development.
Still relatively intact (in 2008 a controversial dam was constructed at the river mouth), it is considered to be among the top ten rivers in the world for white water recreational tourism according to National Geographic.
