Controlling behaviour goes hand in hand with domestic violence .. a common trait for controlling men to exhibit is to stop 'their' women from wearing makeup. They can be manipulative about how they achieve their end result: it can appear as if he is meaning well by saying things such as 'you don't REALLY need that stuff on your face, you're pretty enough...' to 'I prefer my women more natural,' to sulking when he doesn't get his way to even using physical force. However, though he may use sweet and persuasive words at first, he is being driven by his own insecurity and jealousy, and whatever he says, it's really nothing to do with his personal sexual tastes. (Think about it ... he's actually contradicting himself as most women met their man and attracted him in the first place when they were dressed up really nicely and were wearing make up). So it's all (in his mind) about making you less attractive to other men, ebbing away at your personal confidence and power, so you're less likely to leave HIM, meaning you'll put up with more and more of his crap, ultimately meaning you become under his control in every area of your life.
This composite shows the male Nuthatch retrieving a seed it had previously hidden under the bark of a tree. White-breasted Nuthatches often store seeds and insects one at a time, under loose bark on their territory. They typically hide the food by covering it with a piece of bark, lichen or moss.

Gonna go back and change the other one to look like this.
It got so heavy when I tried to colour it.

I think this is a Warbler, possibly an Audubon Warbler, getting at food on the underside of this rock formation.
Cleaning session under the jetty of the resort. Blue-spotted puffer / Arothron caeruleopunctatus and Cave cleaner shrimp / Urocaridella sp. 2.
They're at it again. I"m assuming the 2 scuffling hogs are males and the smaller one is a female.
Apologies for the clock, it should read 21:33
A pair of jackdaws kept coming to a nest box and dropping in lumps of dried mud. Eventually the chicks were on a thick layer of dried mud and the jackdaws could reach in the hole and get them.

P.S. I'm tired of watermarking my images in the same way, so I'm injecting variety here and there... :O)
BTW - I was tagged (strange game going around Flickr) too, but I refused to cooperate... :O)

The Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia), in the background, is a wader, a subarctic bird, breeding from northern Scotland eastwards across northern Europe and Asia. It is a migratory species, wintering in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and Australasia, usually on fresh water.
Common Greenshanks are brown in breeding plumage, and grey-brown in winter. When in water, they can appear very similar to Marsh Sandpipers but are distinguished by the shape of the lower bill which gives it an upturned appearance to the bill. They have long greenish legs and a long bill with a grey base. They show a white wedge on the back in flight. They are somewhat larger than the related Common Redshank. The usual call is a rapid series of three short fluty notes syllabilized as teu-teu-teu.
Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates, but will also take small fish and amphibians. The Common Greenshank is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. (wikipedia)

The Real Work
I saw this fantastic model of the Supermarine Spitfire, one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever to grace the skies, at this year's Rye Dog and Horse Show!!!
Noticed this place on our drive up to Hardangervidda for going for walk on Wednesday. On our way back, we stopped and I managed to get some shots of this strange phenomenon.
This is a resting area at the road crossing the Hardangervidda, just on the edge of a water called Ørteren. Apparently numerous people who stopped here, have placed rocks on top of each other. (I think I remember this from other countries as well).
The result is that you can hardly walk between these rock "monuments" without touching them. This image only shows 1/4 of this area.
To me that's strange; I'm a strong believer in leaving nature as you found it.
There have been some post processing. In addition to the usual tweeks, I have used some LR4 filter to remove most of the colours leaving only a hint of blue sky, (I wanted a monochrome look but found that I still needed some colours).
Thanks for visiting.
All comments are appreciated.
My first model shot..:P this is the only pose.. she would do.. :) A little skinny..:P
Have a great time.. hope your Christmas was wonderful..
The Italian sparrow's behaviour is similar in many ways to that of the house sparrow. It is a social bird, which feeds mostly on seeds and insects. It is mostly sedentary, but it wanders to some extent outside its breeding season. These wanderings are mostly local, but they may extend into southern France. Similarly, the house sparrow sometimes occurs as a winter visitor in northern Italy.
