Bright sunlight and a balmy January temperature of 27 F (-3 C) coaxed this cute Virginia opossum out of its winter den to search for some nourishing food, since it may have been in hiding for a month or more due to the cold winter conditions. As you can see, this shy little possum wasn't in a posing mood this afternoon, although I did see it at dusk as it fed on some peanuts around my bird feeding station.
Longest night of the year..... light your candles all to burn help us coax the sun's return, Happy Solstice!
This is a German Navy Gannet anti-submarine warfare airplane, UA+113, on static display at the Nordholz "Aeronauticum" naval aviation museum.
Quite unique on the Gannet are the two counterrotating props, each powered by it's own turbine engine. The complete power plant was called an Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba, consisting of two Armstrong Siddeley Mamba driving the counterrotating props through a combining gearbox. The Double Mamba provided 3,145 shp.
The use of coaxial, counterrotating props eliminated the prop torque moment as long as both props received the same amount of power.
And the coaxial arrangement meant that the plane could be flown on one engine (e.g. to save fuel and extend the range) without the adverse effect (yaw moment) that occurs when twins with wing mounted engines are flown as "single".

A Forest Herb (by Hafiz)
A Forest Herb
Some poets have the skill to talk
About God
Without ever using any of His pseudonyms.
Some have such skill
You do not need to walk to the river
With your bucket
They, with words' magnetism,
Can coax Venus from her primal orbit and steal
From her mouth
That one drop of miraculous dew
She has been collecting in her veins
Since time said,
"I Am."
I will wear
All the common garb of the tongue
If it will win me your friendship.
I will turn myself into a
Forest
Herb
If
You will
Apply me to your
Wounds.
Watching these lovely birds it, seemed the parents were strugling to coax the chicks out onto the big lake. Who can blame them lol - they were unbelievably small.Obviously an offer of a nice fish clearly worked

...You see the jumble of wants and frustrations, hates and I-wish-it-were-differents inside you; and that thing where you feel if you could only find a mystical key or button to press, everything would change – and you think it means you’re an eternity away from who you want to be. But that isn’t who you are. It’s the stuff that helps you get there. Each part, even the annoying, what-was-I-thinking bits you wish would just disappear, is a building block you will one day use to become awesome. That person you want to be is already inside you. It might just take bravery, tears and a considerable amount of bribery to coax them out.”

for macro mondays plugs and/or jacks.
Well, I can't say I was filled with enthusiasm for this theme, and all the plugs and jacks I found around the house seemed to be uninspiringly black and boring.
Luckily my husband was lovely enough to rise to the challenge of finding 'something sparkly' in his shed of electrical wonders and came back with this little aerial connector.
He's definitely a keeper :)
I was hoping to video them jumping into the water. Mom tried to coax them to follow her, but seemed they weren't ready.
Thanks for taking a look!

This guy was on a tree limb about 10ft up, in Bolton Abbey (Caravan site) Yorkshire. The tree was down a bank and that's why I'm level with him.
The mandarin duck nests in holes in trees, sometimes high up and a long way from the water. Shortly after the ducklings hatch, the female flies down and tries to coax the young to jump from the nest. Once they have left the tree and made their way back to water, the father will return to the family and help to protect the ducklings.
This was an image that I waited two full days to capture. One fledged late in the morning and the other two late in the afternoon near dusk. The lighting was going when he finally accepted the challenge and left the comfort of his nest They do not fly far and actually was at the base of our fence when the Dad coaxed him up off the ground. They are so perfect and now just have to learn to fend for themselves. Definitely they are beautiful and well worth the wait. Fly safely !!!
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed rest of your day.

I took a lot, I mean a lot, of lousy Bald Cypress images this past week. Oh well, learning experience. One of the exceptions is this image of one of my friends that coaxed me to go kayaking for a week, in the cold and, as you can see, at night sometimes. This picture, for me anyway, is the reward.
Take care out there!
I came upon two young Avocets resting on the gravel path in the sun. They weren't too concerned about me, but their mother was. She flew down ahead of them and coaxed them to follow her along the path away from me. They ran a bit and flew a bit. Their flight was weak and fluttery. That was a week ago and I am sure they are capable of stronger flight now.
I saw four families that day and counted 10 young ones. Good to see.

Purple-crowned Lorikeet (Glossopsitta porphyrocephala)
...... well four actually. I watched Mum and Dad coax the little one (in the centre) out of the nest - a real thrill to see. After getting some images, I realised there was another juvenile sitting on a branch just to the right of camera.
I probably have them in every light there is....this is what i imagined before heading out and it came true. Love it when that happens which isn't often, don't know how many countless hours I spend waiting for the perfect moment and it doesn't happen, wildlife photography requires a great deal of patience sometimes coming back disappointed but when you get the shot you want nothing is more rewarding. I had to coax them to the right spot with gentle persuasion. Slow paddle.......click....click.....from my kayak.

Aku
Kalau sampai waktuku
‘Ku mau tak seorang ‘kan merayu
Tidak juga kau
Tak perlu sedu sedan itu
Aku ini binatang jalang
Dari kumpulannya terbuang
Biar peluru menembus kulitku
Aku tetap meradang menerjang
Luka dan bisa kubawa berlari
Berlari
Hingga hilang pedih peri
Dan aku akan lebih tidak perduli
Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi
I
When my time comes
I don’t want anyone coaxing
Not even you
The crying’s not needed
I’m a wild animal
Thrown from the heard
Let the bullets pierce my skin
I’ll still charge, aflame
Wounds and poison I’ll take running
Running
Until the searing pain goes
And I’ll care even less
I want to live a thousand years more

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
We set a record high temperature (73F/23C) for November 4th here today and I celebrated the delightful day by going trout fishing. Normally our November weather is just too cold to coax me out on the water with a fly rod since it only takes minutes to make my fingers numb and casting impossible. Not so this afternoon though and this beautiful brown trout is going back in the brook to fight another time.
Help us coax the suns return
Light your candles all to burn
As the days are growing longer
Hope is growing stronger <3

Mother knows how to coax the owlet to encourage them to take the leap of faith and embark on their first flight, a successful one.
Brilliant sunshine, still quite cold in my (Kent) back garden, but warm enough to coax out a beautiful Red Admiral
I wasnt planning on using a camera this time of the year, so when i spotted the Red Admiral, i had to run in the house, grab a camera, attach a 500D close up lens...then spent the next 15 minutes capturing some nice images of this beauty.
The radar and calm winds looked good enough on my weather app to coax me out of bed this morning for the sunrise. So much for calm but the radar got it right. Happy weekend!

Took more gull pics today. Loved this fella's beautiful wing! It's harder to coax the gulls near by feeding them when the tide's in as they seem intent on flying out to sea. They only get bread, Nicolas, not chips ... though I believe they're very fond of them!!
This poodle was clearly not impressed with my attempts to photograph him, instead he gave me the ole one eye routine. I finally did get a good photograph of him, after a bit of coaxing from his human companion.
Note..I have gone with my own name as business is growing, just thought it was better that way.(John)
On my last visit to Sand Key Beach, I spotted this beautiful egret wandering around the sea cliff. The bird was a bit skittish, but I talked a bit trying to coax her with, "Can I get closer?" so she would allow me to move in closer. I would reach a point where she was just about ready to flutter her wings and fly away, but then I would say something reassuring and she stayed.
As she wandered over to the edge of the sea cliff, I could see in the digital viewfinder that this was a great location with the storm clouds coming in. Overall, she was a great portrait subject, so I had to thank her before leaving!

This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
Colin the Cuckoo - On our last visit to Thursley Common Colin didn't show, we got lucky this time! Magical moments with this beautiful bird! Special thanks to the guy who brought the live mealworms to coax him closer to us!!

White-crowned Sparrows appear each winter over much of North America to grace our gardens and favorite trails (they live in parts of the West year-round). The smart black-and-white head, pale beak, and crisp gray breast combine for a dashing look – and make it one of the surest sparrow identifications in North America. Watch for flocks of these sparrows scurrying through brushy borders and overgrown fields, or coax them into the open with backyard feeders. As spring approaches, listen out for this bird’s thin, sweet whistle.

A small Jumping Spider (Salticidae sp.) hanging about on his 'swing'. Within a second of taking this shot he jumped onto my lens for a closer look and was pretty determined to stay.
However with a little coaxing he was soon back where he belonged and went off on his habitual hunting routine.
Aren't they lovely? It was a bit tricky making this shot as i wanted to use natural light and the cats bolted for the door as soon as i opened it for the sunlight to come in. They are my cousin Grace's cats and they are not used to my place yet.
I wanted to capture the relection but the photo would have been a dull one without the cats. After a bit of coaxing I managed to place Snowbelle on the right while Yuki walks in on the left to check out what i was doing. Her inquisitive look was a bonus.
I camped in a grove of cottonwoods beside the Yampa River, looking forward to dawn. I woke, set up the tripod and camera and made coffee before the light became entertaining. Sand bars gently coaxed the Yampa into a graceful meander between me and the sunrise.
Five guys were camped 100 yards away--all carried fly rods. I hoped that one would stand nearby, so I could add a romantic silhouette to this photo, but they turned out to be bed slugs.
One more of the Sphinx moth from a different perspective. You can see the eye spot on the left wing. These spots are apparently shown to scare off preditors. This moth was too lethargic to care. We coaxed it onto the stick for photos. It was too early in the day and too cold for it to move around much. I have never seen one of these fly and at first glance you would almost think there is too much body mass for the wings to handle. They do fly however. View large for a lot of detail.
Sow Grizzly Bear returns to shore after failing to coax her three cubs to cross the Gibbon River with her.
A plump ball on sticks. Quite common and easily heard, but shy and rarely seen in the open. Striking plumage renders this species unmistakable in range: bright rufous head, white throat, and streaked underparts. Sexes alike. Found from subtropical zone up to the temperate zone in the Andes, within forest but also edges, thickets, second growth, and bamboo patches. Slightly less elusive than other antpittas; can sometimes be coaxed into the open by imitating its three-parted whistled song.
New Year, New Uniform
...but the same look for the seventh year prefect. Bree wasn't about to change something that had served her well in the past few years, and wasn't until there was some gentle coaxing that she finally agreed on a new outer robe and more pairs of her favourite socks!
The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River is managed by Trout Unlimited at sites between Lake City and Blue Mesa River. Here, at the entrance to Red Bridge Campground, it is usually occupied by dry fly enthusiasts. But no one here this warm day before the snow. The fish are accustomed to colorful seduction tapping the surface, dragging filament. But not today.
Usually, I am hesitant to wander along the edge of the river for fear of spooking some trout that someone was trying to coax to the surface. No one needed that courtesy today, so I spent a few pleasant minutes here.

This series of photos of the tree squirrel (Tree Rat) were made by coaxing the squirrel down by whistling at him. I didn’t show the last frame because it is my cat hanging just below the feeder. I didn’t think he could climb a tree this big around. It was quite a leap. No he didn’t get the squirrel he was too fast.
