Clearly my little friends have been left unsupervised far too long !!
....when mom’s away the bears will play !!
Clearly an experienced shopper, not through age, but having a bag inside a zimmer inside a trolley says, "I've done this many times before."
Female Goldfinch poses on a quaking aspen tree. State bird of Washington (state—added to distinguish it most clearly from D.C.).
Please consider investing in the private protection of critical habitats. One I help to support is nature.org (Nature Conservancy).
Many thanks for looking. No need to comment.
You can clearly see the loss of feathers on Dad. Mom looses her feathers first, so that she can not fly away, leaving her young alone. Mom grows hers back then it is Dad's turn to loose his. They are starting to slowly come back now, the young learn to fly so both parents need there feathers so they can teach them to fly together. Dad will take a little longer as he was last to loose them.
I only spotted this herd after we had briefly seen an eagle and a buzzard overhead.
The deer were clearly agitated and hardly glanced in our direction.
Red Deer - Cervus Elaphus
Loch Etive- Scotland
Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

For this week's theme I looked around the house and found many items with imperfections, they didn't all look nice though. In the end I settled on this brush which is for cleaning mushrooms. Two holes so far, probably more in the making. I thought it looked quite nice close up, I never realized the way the wood looks for instance and that it looks elegant the way one bundle of bristles leans over into the empty space.
Clearly not an airborne Spitfire, but the memorial at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this image, while hopefully retaining a sense of gratitude for the sacrifice made by so many during the Battle of Britain.
I was alone and clearly need glasses. The lens isn't auto-focus and so I just made an educated guess about the distance. Failed clearly.
This Is the Sea, by The Waterboys
These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
Now if you're feelin' weary
If you've been alone too long
Maybe you've been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And you're trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like it's 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!
Wooo!
Now you say you've got trouble
You say you've got pain
You say've got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
You're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
But that was the river
This is the sea yeah!
Now I can see you wavering
As you try to decide
You've got a war in your head
And it's tearing you up inside
You're trying to make sense
Of something that you just can't see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Now I hear there's a train
It's coming on down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket
And you don't pay no fee
No you don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
Because that was the river
And this is the sea!
Behold the sea!
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright, bright sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
(otis Redding)
Oh yeah - what more is there to say after that!!!

Pointing the camera back at myself this morning for a challenging image. How to get my eye in focus was an exercise in patience. I woke up and felt hopeful today and wanted to remember this feeling. I cringe at my heavy eyelids and wrinkles but am trying to accept myself as is. Sharing a message of self love and acceptance today.

I wish the lyrics were true but I think the whole world has gone mad and so many hurting.
So I am offering up a sunny image of Mt Cook in New Zealand on clear day. It is not that often that the top of Mt Cook (Aoraki) can be seen as it is so often shrouded in heavy cloud (as it was the following day on our return). I couldn't resist some emphasis on the sky for this image.
I am hopefully adding some sunshine to your day, even if that is not how you feel on the inside.
Sending Big hugs (virtual so no chance of spreading the virus) and a sense of calm and wellbeing to everyone.
Ein sonniger Tag. Ich kann jetzt klar sehen.

Yellow, white, green – sand, water, forest. An island from a bird's-eye view? And little dark dots – are these three groups a new tiny population in nowhereland?
/
I do not know how that happens in the last time, but I keep discovering tiny things in my kitchen. Maybe, because I look closer, because something like spring cleaning takes place ;-) and I clean up? Well, I found this object, which had already landed in the compost bin. I noticed the pretty colourfulness (pastel ;-) ...) and I quickly grabbed it again to photograph it ...
Ok, the little dots may not be living creatures – they're tiny crumbs of coffee grounds. And it's not a yellow-and-white-green landscape, as you've probably already suspected ... Do you know what it is?

Gelb, Weiß, Grün – Sand, Wasser, Wald. Eine Insel aus der Vogelperspektive? Und kleine dunkle Punkte – sind dies drei Gruppen einer neuer winzigen Population im Niemandsland?
/
Ich weiß nicht wie das in letzter Zeit so kommt, aber ich entdecke immer wieder winzige Dinge in meiner Küche. Vielleicht, weil ich genauer hinsehe, weil gerade so etwas wie Frühjahrsputz stattfindet ;-) und ich aufräume, saubermache? Nun ja, ich fand dieses Objekt, was schon im Komposteimer gelandet war. Mir fiel die hübsche Farbigkeit auf (pastell ;-) ...) und ich schnappte es mir schnell wieder, um es zu fotografieren ...
Ok, die kleinen Punkte sind vielleicht doch keine Lebewesen – sie sind winzige Krümel von Kaffeesatz. Und es ist keine gelb-weiß-grüne Landschaft, wie Ihr Euch bestimmt bereits gedacht habt ... Wisst Ihr was es ist?

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk 2009
Port of Montreal
Seriously, how do you "unpack" a boat from the second story of a yacht?
This thing was mammoth, I wish now I had taken some shots of it from a wide angle, but I was fixated on the boat within a boat... why, yes, I am easily amused! =D
Clearly, the Falcon doesn't like Feathers! Lovely bright green feathers - bad to taste, but great to adorn!
This shot clearly shows the small black moustache and streaked crest (sometimes raised in display) of this colourful crow. Jays eat acorns all the year round and sometimes feed them to their young. They play a major part in maintaining and spreading Oak woodland. Autumn is a good time of year for seeing this secretive woodland bird as they set about collecting huge numbers of acorns as winter food, storing them in tree cavities, under dead leaves and in the ground, some of which are not found and go on to germinate.
Thank you all for your kind responses.

Clearly, many believe that vital restoration work is being carried out on the upper reaches of the Royal Liver Building. I think that now, the Liver Birds are getting a little older, instead of flying off to feed in Lower Heswall or the mudflats of Garston, under the cover of darkness, kind members of the public have donated magic bird seed which is placed in the feeding tray we see here in place. Soon, I might be tempted to set up my tripod in the gardens of the Parish Church of Liverpool and spend a night watching them both feeding in secret. I will post my pictures here, of course.

The course closed sign is clearly visible here. The lock down restrictions had just come into place in Tasmania, and so this beautiful course lay idle. The old clubhouse (originally dating from the 1920s) sits on the top of a hill. At the rear you get a beautiful view of Bell Bay on the Tamar River.
The course location is limited in size with bushland on the east and water on the west, so the club operates a nine hole course. Go around twice for the regular 18 hole round. But it is a lovely picturesque site.
For this photograph I decided to give it a golden glow. The sky is a sepia tint and the clubhouse and foreground is in subdued colours.
Thomas Merton clearly found his gift and spent his life giving it away. When Merton spoke of communion being the deepest level of communication possible, I again remember the words of Victor Frankl: "Whenever you are talking to yourself in utmost sincerity and ultimate solitude, he to whom you are referring may justifiably be called" God. Merton was touched with a living fire that burned with radical curiosity for ever-deepening levels of being, knowing and faithfulness before his Creator.

"and not a very convincing one at that!"
"What about the other one, that currently appears to be approaching us at a higher velocity than I should prefer?"
A common resident kingfisher found throughout the country and apparently the most commonly found kingfisher in the world. Shot this picture on the banks of a nearly dry lake and there wasn't much bird activity. There were two of these, male and female which were actively hunting in the water - they made maybe around 5-6 dives each, and one of them had a bit of luck catching a fish.
The birds were at the beginning of nesting season and the birds had clearly coupled - they were together much of the time. The female was clearly dominating and setting the tone, while the male was hunting. I don't think the nest is ready yet - the birds tend to set up a nest on the mud walls of the banks. And that area had plenty of them.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Clearly this cactus wren has been into some fruit based on that purple around his beak. From the color probably prickly pear cactus fruit. He's rather puffed up after having just preened. The cactus wren is Arizona's state bird, in case you care.

My best look ever at a Hummingbird Clearwing moth. Perched quietly for a couple of minutes.

This photo shows clearly the only means I know how to tell the difference between male and female northern yellow-shafted flickers, (Colaptes auratus). The male flicker (below) has clearly defined black mustache stripes; the female, leaving the nest cavity, does not.
They are so very busy these days, with nine hatchlings. Constantly bringing home and regurgitating bugs for the nestlings, which are now quite noisy when they hear a parent land on the tree outside the cavity. Otherwise, they are completely quiet.
Soon the nestlings will be big enough to climb up the inside of the cavity and poke their heads out, and call for food to supply their constant growth. Those who are most able will be fed most often. Those not first to the food line will likely be overcome by their siblings, and starve.
Clearly a close knit family. They are aware of my presence, moving away slowly, but I am just far enough back and just still enough to avoid flushing them. Northern Bobwhites on Old Port Isabel Road in Cameron County, Texas.
