Blue "By-the-wind sailor" jellyfish, otherwise known by their scientific name Velella velella, have been washing up on West Coast beaches in the billions—over the summer months, with sightings reported as far north as Oregon and far south as San Diego.
9/365 ... It might also be put as lack of inspiration. Or even better - lack of courage to try those things I do have in mind yet don´t seem to be capable of turning them into reality :).
Anyway, this is a - what´s its name in English? Bouncing ball?
For me photography is like being a child again. Enjoying those little things or seemingly ordinary moments that become a habit, a sort of stereotype to most adults. Kids aren´t like that - they never stop wondering and even a silly thing can lead to a crazy adventure. Picking up a camera and falling for photography, as crappy as I may be at it, was one of the luckiest moments of my life, no doubt. Now I shall never stop seeing the beauty around because even when my camera isn´t with me, it taught me to notice world again :).
As keen as I am on taking some less static shots, this sure helps me to learn how to work with light so grateful for that at least.

Profile of a Florida Scrub Jay
Today was a fine day at the birdfeeder. Many more of our bird friends are arriving here in the tropics for the winter! (Of course, the scrub jays are year-'round residents!)
The Scrub Jays are looking good in their winter feathers!

Blue Mosque at blue hour ...
The Blue Mosque (Called Sultanahmet Camii in Turkish) was built by Sedefkar Mehmet Aga in the sultan 1. Ahmet’s time between (1609-1616) years. It is located on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome. It is called by Europeans as Blue because of its interior blue tiles which was used more than 20.000 pieces.
The mosque is also popularly known as a fascinating structure its six minarets because it is only six minarets mosque in Turkey.
Good morning everyone and Happy Dragonfly Thursday. Featured today is a series on the male Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), which is long overdue since it's one of the most common dragonflies found here locally and since I already posted a series on the female gender.
Although not tiny, this species is typically smaller than the average dragonfly. It is also noted for being a "great poser" since it often returns to the same spot to perch over and over, even when scared away.
As for these photos, they were taken at a variety of places here locally. I can't think of a single spot I go in search of dragonflies that these aren't present. I also included one pic in the comment section of a "western" Blue Dasher taken in Washington State.
Although long, I hope you still enjoy this series on one of the most common dragonflies in the United States. And as always, don't forget to click on "more comments" if you don't see the additional pics in the comment section. And if you want to view any picture in the field of black or comment section large all you have to do is click on it.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you are having a truly great week.

Thraupis episcopus
As gorgeous as a greyish blue sky, the Blue Jean roams many a garden throughout Trinidad and Tobago. Common but by no means ordinary, this Tanager is a species that can be found from Mexico to Northern Brazil. You may have wondered why the Blue-Grey Tanagers in Tobago seem brighter. Well, wonder no more. This is due to the fact that separate subspecies exist in Trinidad and Tobago. The subspecies found in Trinidad is Thraupis episcopus sesophila while the ones in Tobago like this one, of the subspecies Thraupis episcopus berlepschi, are brighter in colour with a darker blue rump and shoulder patch.
This picture was taken at the Sealevel Guesthouse in Castara.
