'Italian Lifestyle' pic of the month! THANK YOU!
This bird turned up in FL when I was there in April this year and I managed to get some images. I had only seen it once before also in FL back in 2013 I believe when two showed up.,

Met this playful labrador male named "Buddy" on a walk. When I decide to shoot in monochrome, it usually is because the colors don't matter. In this case, they did matter, because his eyes were yellow and shone in the sunlight, giving him the look of a fantasy creature.
Still I changed it to monochrome, because I think his eyes don't lose their effect and I'm sure you can use a little bit of imagination. Hope you like it!
His owner told me that it isn't easy to convince strangers that Buddy is a nice dog. But he was very kind indeed, loved to play with Timmi and the owner's little toddler.

Today's fun fact - Black Swans were presumed not to exist because there was only ever records of white ones. Then when Europeans discovered they did in fact exist, in WA Australia, the phrase "black swan" was coined. The Black Swan by scholar Nassim Taleb, was ranked by the Sunday Times one of the 12 most influential books since World War II. Taleb's black swan theory states that dramatic unexpected events matter more to history than regular happenings.
Bit simpler for me, I just like to photograph them on the local lake. Especially at sunset. Like little floating silhouettes. (bit of an older pic, revisiting some unloved pics from my Flickr exile years)
When I have some spare time I like to browse through my photo archive and quite often I find pictures that initially didn't catch my attention. I took this one at the main yard of Salk Institute, just a few miles outside San Diego. As I described on another photo that I posted from there (The outernationalists), this is a unique place where the whole scenery (the architecture of the buildings, the view of the ocean, the seagulls) calms your soul. Torrey Pines gliderport is nearby so as you can imagine lots of paragliders make low flights close to Salk Institute while riding the strong winds coming from the ocean. If you ever find yourself in San Diego, don't miss a chance to visit this magnificent place. Happy Thursday everybody and stay safe.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.
