Bit of Photoshop restoration work had to be done because of a rain drop on the lens.. it happens :-)
English Ivy is considered an invasive species here in Oregon. However, bees and birds love their flowers or berries. I especially love the structure of the stems and berries as they develop throughout the fall and winter. They are more reminiscent of the sputnik chandelier designs of the 1950's in America.
Things are a bit slow when I’m relegated to shooting a succulent in my backyard, but my plant seemed in the mood for a portrait, and I was too lazy to look elsewhere. So here she is.

The Succulent:
In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap."
Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. The water content of some succulents can get up to 90 to 95%. The habitats of these water-preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts, but succulents may be found even in alpine ecosystems growing in rocky soil. Succulents are characterized by their ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem that contains scarce water sources.

I loved the colours of these candle holders in The Notre Dame Cathedral, Montreal.

ENG: In my smartphone memory is now a bit longer a small picture series with 7 photos of the newest subway station of Berlin. The speech is here from the subway station Museum Island (Museumsinsel).
The "Museuminsel" subway station is one of three of the newest subway stations in Berlin's Mitte district of the same name. It is part of the extension of the U5 underground line from Hönow deep in the east of the city beyond Alexanderplatz to Brandenburg Gate and on to the terminus at Hauptbahnhof. Construction had its groundbreaking ceremony in 2010 and it was ceremonially opened in mid-2021. The mega highlight here is the integrated starry sky. The other two new stations are also already in operation and bear the names "Rotes Rathaus" and "Unter den Linden".

GER: In meinem Smartphone Speicher liegt jetzt schon etwas länger eine kleine Bilder Serie mit 7 Fotos vom neusten U-Bahnhof Berlins. Die Rede ist hier vom U-Bahnhof Museumsinsel.
Der U-Bahnhof „Museumsinsel“ ist einer von drei der neusten U-Bahnhöfe im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte des gleichnamigen Bezirks. Er ist Teil der Verlängerung der U-Bahn-Linie U5 von Hönow tief im Osten der Stadt über den Alexanderplatz hinaus zum Brandenburger Tor bis zur Endstation Hauptbahnhof. Der Bau hatte seinen ersten Spatenstich 2010 und er wurde Mitte 2021 feierlich eröffnet. Das mega Highlight ist hier der integrierte Sternenhimmel. Die anderen zwei neuen Bahnhöfe sind ebenfalls schon in Betrieb und tragen die Namen „Rotes Rathaus“ sowie „Unter den Linden“.

I'm posting three other gull pics that I took yesterday, I don't want to bore you, but after struggling so long to capture the elusive beauty of gulls in flight, I was very heartened to find I'm now beginning to get some results!! I had to take 100 shots to get these 4 though!! This picture is of the same gull as in "Seagull Sortie" taken a second or so earlier.
Just a bit of sun here . This is a shot from one of our trips to North Yorkshire which I just had to capture. I stopped the car quickly got out and planted my tripod down to capture that amazing sky, one shot for my foreground and one shot one stop under for the sky then blended together , I just had to get that wet reflection off the road too . Looking forward to a return trip.
The Kite - a bit of Euclidian geometry
Building this staircase was a real challenge, due to the strange shape of the real estate. Instead of a rounded/spiral staircase the architect chose the shape of a kite.
A bit of a mouthful for a title I know and a bit of a play on a well-known saying but I couldn't resist as I was fascinated by the copse-like grouping of some poplar trees you see through the tangle of less upright oak trees nearer to the camera.
“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
A bit late posting was in North Yorkshire last night. Just got home
A sunrise at Robin Hood”s bay on the North Yorkshire coast
A very Happy New Year to everyone …all the best
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
I did a bit of research yesterday. This sheep often has dark liquid coming from the slit next to the eye. Sheep don't have a lacrimal gland, they have an infraorbital organ, a gland that produces a substance with unknown purpose. There are three theories about this substance. A: the moor substance, the more dominance. This could really be it. This sheep is the boss. B: the substance smells good (from a sheepical point of view) and could be a self-produced perfume. Maybe that's why my sheep look so befuddled. C: The substance is a self-produced skin-care. Sounds unlikely, but sheep have scent glands between their toes and while I thought that those interdigital glands produce a substance to nourish the keratin part of the toes, I read now, that the interdigital gland has a sexual function too. And I guess the feet smell better.
A Little Bit of Happiness.
Eastern Bluebird in my yard Chester County, PA on 4/3/2020.
I watched this male Bluebird carefully inspect the inside and outside of a new nesting box that I had put up, but failed to pursue his mate to even look at it, so I doubt that they will be using the nesting box this year.

Thanks so much everyone for your visit and support.
I went to look for the chamois again today, and although they showed up they didn’t seem pleased that I had brought my mom along... they made a big show of giving warning calls and sprinting towards cover while not appearing particularly nervous. (They do remind me a bit of cats.) As I didn’t manage to capture their show very well I took a few flower shots instead...
A bit of a reimagining of a previous post. It occurs to me that this looks a lot like the graphic everyone uses for the Corona virus.... sorry about that!
Rest assured that I used masks in Photoshop...
