Such a cute situation of these three birds meeting each other. On the left is the goldeneye, on the right is the coot, and in the back is the teal.
Snow is on the horizon. Remembering Winter January 2016. . Was in Search here of Winter Beauties in Montgomery County Virginia and found Craig Creek in Jefferson National Forest.

People coming and going across the plaza on the Mound, between the National Gallery, Royal Scottish Academy and the West Princes Street Gardens. Quick snap from the steps of the RSA
Hunger screams filled the air this morning, coming from a juvenile Peregrine Falcon hoping to be fed by its father. Turns out dad had already killed a pigeon, and the older sibling was chowing down across the inlet. This one took off and tried for scraps, but got hardly two beakfuls. The screams continued.

Hike at Lost Dutchman State Park, in the eastern Phoenix metro area. This shot about 2 minutes before sunrise.
As I was leaving Fort Snelling State Park with my son this past weekend, some planes were coming in for a landing. It always fascinates me to watch these giant airplanes glide (loudly) right over our heads.

I found God
I found him in a lover
When his hair falls in his face
And his hands so cold they shake
I found the Devil
I found him in a lover
And his lips like tangerines
And his color coded speak
Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets
I've got a lover
A love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, coming down
It's coming down, down, coming down
I've got a lover
And I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, coming down
It's coming down, down, coming down
I found a martyr
He told me that I'd never
With his educated eyes
And his head between my thighs
I found a savior
I don't think he remembers
'Cause he's off to pay his crimes
And he's got no time for mine
as the sun sets in portixol, a seaside district of palma de mallorca, kayaks glide towards the harbor, their journey ending with the day. the photo titled "coming home" captures the essence of return, as the golden sunset caresses the mediterranean sea, welcoming the travelers back to the tranquility of shore.
gewöhnt euch schon mal dran :-)
und nächste Nacht kommt der Kollege St. Nikolaus, stellt die Schuhe raus, oder wie es bei Euch Sitte ist

As the evening sun finds its place along the western horizon, a dusty Cowgirl finds her way back home.
Benni and I will be off Flickr for a while. The Wild Things, aka our grandchildren, ages 9, 11, 13, and 15 will be coming with their dad this weekend and staying through the first week of July.
Lots of fun and excitement ahead but we will miss all our Flickr friends and I'll be peeking to see what you're up to this coming week.
The New York Times Ethicist recently published a "ruling" on the ethics of AI generative art. He was responding to a person who wanted to use an Etsy image but was concerned the seller was profiting off the work of artists used to train generative AI. The Ethicist pointed out that artists have always stood on the shoulders of other artists, an argument that resonates with me. The image you see here is not simply the result of prompting an image in Midjourney because I made quite a few changes to it in Kira, using the Stable Diffusion plugin and using my digital painting skills and tools (like rearranging the chickens, recreating the woman in the distance, giving the man a hat etc.). But my influence on the image goes deeper. I used Midjourney's personalize parameter to generate images that reflect my aesthetic, color choices, brush work, level of detail and so on. The training was simple. I was given four thousand sets of widely diverse images and told to choose one of them. In other words, this is my unconscious "style." Unconscious because I did not deliberately tell Midjourney everything I prefer when I am painting. And in the act of grabbing from the gush of images this personalization parameter produced, I chose this image. Probably because I have re-discovered NC Wyeth who is famous for his illustrations of the old childhood novel "Treasure Island." He influences how I use illustration to tell stories. And Edward Hopper influences the mood of my work. And Norman Rockwell. Did Rockwell absorb NC Wyeth? I think so. Caravaggio gives my work its lighting. And perhaps NC Wyeth's son Andrew suffused my work. He taught me how to pay attention to the world immediately around me. And perhaps to some degree hundreds of more artists famous and obscure seen in museums, art workshops, videos and Internet images. In fact I have produced over 800 images of the Ravensway world using this amazing productive power of AI. A world that has storytelling power.
A quick peek yesterday and they are growing quite fast. I can already see flight feathers coming in on their wings. Not a great shot but with poppa dive bombing my head, I didn't want to hang around too long!
We share a common property garden with our neighbours; it's always a friendly competition to see who gets to snack on the blueberries first. You snooze, you lose. *wink*
