leave me a smile
just warm enough...
to spend a million
golden afternoons in.

It happened quickly. One day they were all there; the next they were gone, like a mist that burns off in the sun. No time for tears or goodbyes, no backward glances. Just gone. Did they leave any dreams behind, or just the empty little house?
Female Bateleur Eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus), a medium-sized, solitary, tree-nesting eagle endemic to Africa and small parts of Arabia. Their diet includes antelope, mice, birds, snakes, carrion, lizards and especially road kills.
"Bateleur" is French for "street performer". It is known for its low, back-and-forth aerial searches for food on the land below, and its ability to descend in a tight spiral, plummeting toward the ground at high speed to retrieve its prey.
Seen in San Diego Zoo's Africa Rocks habitat.
Conservation status: Near Threatened
Two Mourning Doves perched on a branch in the rain yesterday. Their eye rims are a beautiful turquoise hue. This dove either used its nictitating membrane or eyelid briefly in one frame. Anyone know?
(This transparent "third eyelid" rests at the anterior edge of the eyeball and can sweep backward, cleansing and temporarily covering the eye while still allowing a view--albeit milky--of the bird's surroundings.)
Cornell has info about the dove, but I couldn't find anything about that startling (to me) turquoise and whether it is a transparent nictitating membrane (from Latin nictare, to blink) or eyelid or both: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mourning_Dove

go forward or backward ...
a veces pensamos que seguir hacia adelante sin mirar atrás será la mejor opción …
Pero a veces el corazón y los sentimientos te hace retroceder
Y lo peor de todo es quedarse con la duda de lo que pudo ser
una lucha entre tu corazón y mente que te intentan convencer
y mientras ahí estas tú parado en medio de la nada …
esperando que las cosas sucedan ... pero las cosas no suceden si te quedas parado sin hacer nada sin avanzar o retroceder ...
________________________________________________
Sometimes we think that moving forward without looking back will be the best option ...
But sometimes your heart and feelings make you go back ...
And worst of all is to remain in doubt of what could have been
a fight between your heart and mind that try to convince you…
And while there you stand in the middle of nowhere …
waiting for things to happen ... but things don't happen if you stand still without doing anything without moving forward or backward ...

Theme: opposites
I try my first shot on the legendary "Macro Mondays"-Group by using my EF 70-200 f/4 IS USM at f/8 with a retroadapter. I used my iPhone to get some interessing light on the front of my Denon DBT-3313UD and thats it ;D
I am so excited to see all the other ideas :)
Thx for watching.
PS maybe someone see also some other opposites ;)
Here's an image I captured of an Osprey on his way back to the nest after snatching a fish out of the Gulf of Mexico. Notice that he only needs one foot to hang on to his lunch--these birds have specialized feet made for grasping fish. With three toes in the front and one in the back, Ospreys can rotate the outer toe backward to help carry the fish and make sure it can't slip away. Of course when the fish is missing a head it's even more challenging for it to get away.
I was climbing here, a long way up towards Stagias. When I looked backwards, I thought this view was worth capturing. I think the largest village in the background is Sedrun.
after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha :-)

Smile On Saturday: "Ton sur ton" theme
Ton sur ton is a French expression that translates as "tone on tone," meaning a photo of a colored object (in this case, the duck) on a background of a different shade of the same color (in this case, the reflections).
It's a female Mallard. I'm not sure why she has white feathers stuck to her bill.

Not only a glance into the far distance, but also one far back to the beginning of my photography. I never uploaded this image and the reason for that might be that it originally looked pretty flat and back then I was not into editing images. However, I now tried my best in editing this JPG file from a 10 megapixel Sony A300 which I took 8 years ago and even though it lacks quality, I really love it. Hope you like it too!
A backward glance from the juvenile Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) I think he's grown accustomed to the click of the camera, but he still looks over!
I really appreciate your kindness and visit in my gallery 💕 to read your lovely comments or receive your faves is a great pleasure for me but please no awards...
Wheatear seem to be a regular late summer visitor to the southern coast at Lepe. During this September I have found, on several occasions, a female, possibly the same one (although I have seen two together), on a grassy patch of scrub littered with wild flowers set back from the sea. It is always a joy to come across one.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
Another view from the ascent of Cat Bells, taken from the same spot as my last photo... getting a breather ;-)
This green heron was perched, ready to strike. The algae was still covering Commonwealth Lake when I shot this in August, but that didn't seem to prevent the heron from seeing its prey.
"In the backward movement" - In der Rückwärtsbewegung
Entlang der Spree fahren wieder Schiffe mit Touristen. Einige von den Schiffen wenden an der Fischerinselschleuse, wo eins die niedrigste Verbindungsstelle zwischen Alt-Kölln (Cölln an der Spree) und Berlin war. Im Blick das Nikolaiviertel mit den Türmen der ältesten Kirche in Berlin, der Nikolaikirche. Im Hintergrund der Fernsehturm und das Rote Rathaus.
Ships with tourists are sailing again along the Spree. Some of the ships turn at the Fischerinselschleuse, where one was the lowest connection point between Alt-Kölln (Cölln an der Spree) and Berlin. In view the Nikolaiviertel with the towers of the oldest church in Berlin, the Nikolaikirche. In the background the television tower and the red town hall.
2 Kings 20:10 “And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.”
As in some backward parts of the world the 31st of October is marked as Halloween, in the more civilised parts this is Reformation Day, the Macro Mondays group chose 'phobia' to be today's theme.
I had wanted to skip this, as I really loathe Halloween, but as I came across these dew clad cobwebs in the sunight on the cemetery, I couldn't resist taking some pictures. Although there is no spider visible, this points of course towards arachnophobia.
I admit that I'm not really sure how big this part of the cobwebs really is - you don't carry a ruler in your pockets. But I have good reason to believe that this is smaller than the allowed three inches, because this thing, let's call it, for want of a better word, a camera, complained about me being too close to the subject for the autofocus to work - which always happens when I'm trying to take a macro. And of that shot, this is cropped to about half size, so I should be good.

Carl Schindler (1821 - 1842)
Upper Belvedere, Vienna
Schindler was an Austrian military painter in the Biedermeier style.
The death penalty is an abomination beyond compare, but it is still practised today in backward and depraved countries like Egypt, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA.
Yellow faced Honeyeater, looks like his head is on backwards. Funny how birds do that. It's like they have eyes in the back of their head.
Another stern shot from the ferry travelling from Tsawwassen, (Vancouver), to Duke Point Terminal, (Nanaimo). This shot shows the stern of the ferry and the view out to the Salish Sea. Inset in this view is a ghosted image of an Orca. At one time the Salish Sea, (Gulf of Georgia), was a safe and plentiful habitat for the Orcas but with the ever-increasing man-made marine traffic and pressure on the Orcas' food resources it is no longer the safe Sea of Plenty. Lets hope, with the conservation efforts now underway that, in the future, the Orcas will not become just a ghostly image from the past but continue to be a thriving and vital part of the Salish Sea ecosystem .

With her head still on her shoulders
It doesn't matter if she was guilty of anything: I'm against the death penalty for any crime, even the worst ones, in history and currently in backward countries like Egypt, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA.
