Hubier salido mejor si me hubiera dado cuenta antes del contraste, pero bueno, para el par de minutos que me quedaron para caminar y tomar la foto, me gusto de todos modos.
The common merganser or goosander is a large duck of rivers and lakes in forested areas of Europe, northern and central Asia, and North America. The common merganser eats fish and nests in holes in trees.
Scientific name: Mergus merganser
Family: Anatidae
Order: Anseriformes
Mass: 1.5 kg
Higher classification: Typical mergansers
Did you know: Like the other mergansers, these fish-feeding ducks have serrated edges to their bills to help them grip their prey, so they are often known as "sawbills".

Fun sign(s) in the Queen Street Mall, Brisbane. We have a busy weekend so I might be off until Monday. Have a great weekend my flickr friends.
Taken through my patio door.This Mourning Dove looks as confused as I feel! One day I am gardening and feeling hot and the next day we had some snow!! Every thing seems a little weird these days!!
Take care everyone and thanks so much for your visits!
Shot on the 22nd of Argust, 2022
It took me three years, but I am beginning to get the hang of this camera. No double exposures, no blank shots, no ripped film, no out-of-focus shots this time.

This displaced duck must be totally confused. How did I get here!?!
The original photo of the duck was taken on the riverfront. The Photofox Teacup component was used to create this image.
This is Paddy. Paddy is going for long walk by the ocean.
However Paddy is confused. He is very confused as he was set to go for a walk. He briefly paused and looked back into his car to see if there is anything in his car he may have forgotten.
You see, Paddy had way too many scoops the day before celebrating St. Patrick's day. Hence the red face.
But in his nano second of confusion I got very focused.
This is from a seaside where I had about twenty minutes to myself. Fruitful I would call them.
Though it takes longer than a flight to New York to get there, it costs you arm and a leg, you will freeze on the public transport and at that stage of taking the photo my fingers were numb from the cold (frauzen), we had an amazing time and it was totally worth it.
I think I need to get myself a seaside, street or a city place.
I found this little 5mm creature, a Transverse Lady Bird Beetle (Coccinella transversalis), meandering on this small tomato for about ten minutes on my kitchen window sill. I am not sure if it was hunting for aphids, looking for a way off, or figuring how to mate with its new best friend.
Afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are.
And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be.
The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead.

I'll make it back to photography. I will.
It looks like a text, but I can't read it . And the arrows are not very helpful either !

The grass is always greener where you want to eat it, I guess. I saw a lot of "goosing" between this mixed flock of geese. I am not labeling them yet, I'm waiting for an expert opinion from our local Audubon society. They could be the smallest of the Canada Goose subspecies, the Minima, or the one Cackling Goose subspecies that has a more slender profile and longer neck than the others. Yes, I am confused. Just to let you know, these geese were tiny and were hanging out with geese that were definitely Cackling Geese (head shape, neck length, size of bird, etc.)
Third image in my small critters series.
We watched this cottontail rabbit hanging out in a Badlands National Park prairie dog town. It seemed quite at home and the prairie dogs didn't seem to mind its presence. When alarmed, it would run to a prairie dog burrow for a safe haven, as it had done in this shot.
I mentioned to my wife that it must think it's a prairie dog.
There are three cottontail species in the badlands. Eastern, Mountain and Desert. My best guess is that this is a Desert Cottontail. But I'm far from certain.

Confusing Fledglings
So far I have seen four species of newly fledged baby birds in my yard. Some can be difficult to identify until you see them begging for food and being fed by adults, but they are fun to watch as build up their skills
This is one of the young starlings that have been mobbing my yard for a couple of days

My husband had a couple of colleagues from Stockholm over for dinner last night, so we broke out all kinds of glasses--my favorite cobalt water goblets, cocktail glasses, cognac glasses, and regular red wine glasses. I washed them all by hand last night and left them out to air dry. This morning I noticed the sun light flashing through them, and of course I grabbed my camera before the light shifted.
I'd like to dedicate this one to my honey chile, Tammy, who wrote a lovely and heartfelt testimonial for me the other day. I really have to take some time to spread the love around myself--very soon. Thank you, chile! <3
Daily Dog Challenge: Mix(ed) up.
Etta thinks these steps are pretty mixed up ... they don't go up or down!
Fun with reflections at the "Kranzler Eck" in Berlin's City West. The new Kranzler Eck (Kranzler is the name of a famous café, "Eck", short for "Ecke", means corner) was designed by Helmuth Jahn of Jahn/Morphy Architects, was built between 1998 and 2000. It so falls into the same era as the first Matrix movie. The glass architecture, especially with the reflections and the shades of green, reminded me of the movie (and also of a maze), and since three bee colonies live on the roof of the new Kranzler Eck, it reminded me even more of the movie, hence the title ;)
Please note: The lens info shown in the EXIF is wrong. This image was not taken with the Laowa 6mm lens (which I'd borrowed just before this walk from my Mom, magrit k.), but with my Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm lens. I had forgotten to reset the camera's lens info settings for manual lenses.
Have a nice week, dear Flickr friends!
Not really, as the one of the left is for car merging, but I thought it created a interesting image.
Gulf Boulevard is a nice road, with a bike lane the entire way, creating a nice "safe" zone to enjoy the scenery along the Gulf and beaches. The red zone is for pedestrians. Click on the map to give you an idea where it is.
