Many thanks to all those who comment on my photo's and/or add them as favourites. It is very much appreciated.
Out of the wood of thoughts that grows by night
To be cut down by the sharp axe of light,—
Out of the night, two cocks together crow,
Cleaving the darkness with a silver blow:
And bright before my eyes twin trumpeters stand,
Heralds of splendour, one at either hand,
Each facing each as in a coat of arms:
The milkers lace their boots up at the farms.
My new favorite dog design. From "Lady and the Tramp". It took me awhile to make it right. Mainly it's the fluffy fur. I ended up just making it wide. The large floppy ears were difficult. The nose is a little shorter than I would have liked. It's not as bad as in this photo because of the angle. Unfortunately, other angle shots were blurry. The height and length is good. All around details are great. Funny thing was, when I was looking up the breed, I used the name Cockle Daniel. It didn't get me anywhere. I had to look up "Lady and the Tramp" movie to find out the spelling. Even then it wasn't easy. Really, the over information age is trash. Accurate and precise information is non-existent. People don't label their photos.
Love this amusing painting on the wall, in a very quiet back street that hardly anyone goes down. I don't do much in colour, but this just wouldn't look good in B&W. Eagle Lane, Brisbane CBD, Queensland Australia.
This is a traditional pub in Sheldon in Derbyshire. I was looking to find some old red phone boxes and came across this red box at the side of the pub and I thought they looked well together.

Another one of those species which is pretty rare and hard to see worldwide, but which is quite easy to observe at Barba Azul Nature Reserve. In Spanish called 'Avioncito', which means little airplane. No surprise with the way it holds its tail, even while flying!
Nog een soort die wereldwijd zeldzaam is en moeilijk om te zien, maar op Barba Azul Nature Reserve juist best makkelijk is. In het Spaans wordt hij 'Avioncito' genoemd, wat 'klein vliegtuigje' betekent. Niet gek, met de manier waarop deze soort z'n staart houdt, zelfs tijdens het vliegen!
The name Linnet comes from the Old French name Linette which means small bird of the flax (Linum). It was first used in Britain around 1530 but was a name for any small finch. It was John Ray in 1678 who first distinguished that Linnet, Redpoll and Twite were different species. But he called this one Common Linnet, as opposed to Mountain Linnet (Twite). The "Common" was dropped soon after that and it has been known as Linnet ever since. Its scientific name cannabina also refers to its association with arable crops as cannabis used to be grown for its hemp fibres. And hemp seeds still turn up in bird seed mixes and occasionally results in cannabis plants growing under garden bird tables.
This male is identified by the pink flush on his breast and forehead. He is perched on a gorse bush which is a typical nesting site for Linnet. This was in West Yorkshire.
