I know I have not replied to any comments or emails and I am so so so sorry :-(
I have a huge project and a tight deadline you guys, I promise to be more regular here once my project is done!
So here is a photo I took about 10 days ago... For the first time I felt really annoyed that I do not have any studio lighting, as it was so hard to capture the movement of the fabric while managing to keep it relatively sharp and as bright as possible. Someday I want to redo this...
Total montage, as the original photo was taken at home, and then the sunset is a picture I took in Bulgaria over a year ago, and the fence or whatever you call that (what is the word for it actually?) was a picture from the Botanical Garden in Chicago.
I liked the original photo of the "fence" a lot too, you can see it at my blog: ilinas.com/magic/?p=51
I also put up there a few other photos from that afternoon - of me, my sis and mom, and the garden... I felt so nostalgic... I really want to go back there this year and spend more time taking pictures of that place!
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
There is a large herd of about 50 or more deer on the Lagoon Creek reserve.
Deer – Chital
Scientific name - Cervus axis
Other common names - Chital deer, Axis deer, Indian spotted deer.
Origin - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka
Distinctive characteristics - White throat patch and white spots. Dark dorsal stripe and band over muzzle. Noticeably long tail compared with other deer species.
Identification - Feral chital deer are a small-medium sized species. Their coat colour is variable, but is often dark to rusty red with uniformly marked white spots in lines along the body. They have a distinctive white throat patch and a dark muzzle. The coat colour of the inner legs and underside of the belly is white-beige. This species is often found in medium to large groups. Mature males have antlers that are smooth and slender with usually three tines on each, though the number of tines is influenced by animal condition. Antlers may be 70-89 cm in length. Males are larger in size and weight (90 cm and 85 kg) than females (80cm and 60 kg). Chital have a distinctive high-pitch alarm call when disturbed. Scats are small cylindrical pellets sometimes with an indentation at one end.
History and Biology - Chital deer were initially introduced to Australia from Sri Lanka and India in 1802 but did not survive. They were later successfully released into Queensland in the 1860's. Chital deer are herbivores that browse on a variety of grasses, fruit and leaves. They are gregarious and can form groups of more than 100 individuals. They do not have a defined breeding season, and are capable of producing three offspring in two years. Chital deer will eat their shed antlers if their diet is lacking the vitamins and minerals. Females will separate from the herd during birthing and rearing of young.
Distribution - Feral chital deer occur in many areas throughout Queensland, small areas in NSW, Victoria and the south-east of South Australia. They are absent from other regions.
Habitat - They can be found in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands, open and closed woodlands, thick forests and heavily timbered farmland.
Damage - Feral chital deer are a growing pest threat. They can cause significant browsing damage to native vegetation, damage sensitive habitats and compete with livestock for pasture. They can damage forestry plantations and ornamental gardens. They are not often found in close proximity to humans but they do present a serious motorway hazard. Feral chital deer may carry and spread livestock diseases that can cause production losses and increased management costs.

Intermediate egret
Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia
Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.
Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australiaâs other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.
Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.
Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.
Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.
Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

La couleur bleue désigne la tendresse, la poésie. L'expression "être fleur bleue" signifie donc "être romantique, sentimental"
Pourtant, la fleur bleue (en allemand die blaue Blume) n’a, au départ, aucun rapport avec l’amour. Cette expression est issue du courant romantique du XIXe siècle. Dans son roman Henri d’Ofterdingen, l’écrivain romantique Novalis présente une fleur bleue comme un passage entre deux mondes : le monde réel chaotique, et le monde spirituel dans lequel l’artiste se réfugie pour fuir la réalité et s’élever spirituellement. Chez Novalis, cette fleur symbolise l’amour absolu qu’Henri porte à Mathilde mais aussi l’union du rêve et du monde réel, qui était un des grands objectifs du romantisme.

Brown Treecreeper
Scientific Name: Climacteris picumnus
Description: The Brown Treecreeper is the largest of Australia's treecreepers. It is mostly pale brown in plumage. Birds of northern Queensland are darker brown. The head, throat and upper breast are pale greyish-brown, while the lower breast and belly are strongly streaked with black and buff. In flight, a buff stripe can be seen in the wing. The sexes are similar, except females have rufous edges to the feathers of the upper breast, while in the male these edges are black. Young Brown Treecreepers resemble the adults, but are duller, have less obvious stripes on the underparts and the lower belly is a pale rufous colour.
Similar species: Other treecreeper species that overlap in range with the Brown Treecreeper include the White-browed Treecreeper, Climacteris affinis, and the White-throated Treecreeper, Cormobates leucophaeus. The White-browed Treecreeper is darker grey-brown with a more distinct white stripe above the eye (edged with red-brown in the female). The eyebrow of the Brown Treecreeper is less distinct and is more buff. The smaller White-throated Treecreeper has much darker upperparts, a contrasting white throat and little or no marks above the eye.
Where does it live?
Habitat: Found in the drier open forests and woodlands, the Brown Treecreeper stays in the same area all year round.
Feeding: The Brown Treecreeper climbs up the trunks and branches of trees in search of food. It probes into cavities and under loose bark with its long downward curving bill. In this way it searches for insects and their larvae. The most favoured insects are ants. Some feeding also takes place on the ground on fallen logs. Sometimes, birds can be seen diving on ground-dwelling prey from a perch in a tree. Feeding normally takes place in pairs or small groups.
Breeding: The nest is a collection of grasses, feathers and other soft material, placed in a suitable tree hollow or similar site. Both sexes build the nest, but the female alone incubates the eggs. Pairs often have two broods during each breeding season. Occasionally, other birds ("helpers") assist the breeding pair with building of nest and feeding the young chicks. Brown Treecreepers are highly sociable birds, living and breeding communally. Each year, the previous year's offspring will remain to help the breeding male feed the female and rear new chicks. Interestingly, it is usually only males which remain to perform this duty.
Calls: The Brown Treecreeper has a loud 'spink' call, which is given either singly or in a series, and normally betrays its presence before the bird is seen.
Minimum Size: 16cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 17cm
Average weight: 33g
Breeding season: June to January
Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs
Incubation: 17 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Silvereye
Zosterops lateralis
Identification: The Silvereye is a small bird with a conspicuous ring of white feathers around the eye and belongs to a group of birds known as white-eyes. The Silvereye shows interesting plumage variations across its range. The grey back and olive-green head and wings are found in birds through the east, while western birds have a uniformly olive-green back. Breeding birds of the east coast have yellow throats, pale buff flanks (side of the belly) and white on the undertail. Tasmanian birds have grey throats, chestnut flanks and yellow on the undertail. To complicate this, the birds in the east have regular migrations within Australia and may replace each other in their different areas for parts of the year. Birds in Western Australia have yellowish olive, rather than grey, backs
Location: Silvereyes are more common in the south-east of Australia, but their range extends from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, through the south and south-west to about Shark Bay, Western Australia. They are also found in Tasmania.
Habitat: Urban, Woodland, Forest. Silvereyes may occur in almost any wooded habitat, especially commercial orchards and urban parks and gardens.
Habitat: The Silvereye can travel great distances during migration, with Silvereyes from the most southerly regions of Tasmania travelling all the way up to Southern Queensland. Birds are seen alone, in pairs or in small flocks during the breeding season, but form large flocks in the winter months.
Feeding: Silvereyes feed on insect prey and large amounts of fruit and nectar, making them occasional pests of commercial orchards. Birds are seen alone, in pairs or in small flocks during the breeding season, but form large flocks in the winter months.
Breeding: Silvereye pairs actively defend a small territory. The nest is a small, neatly woven cup of grasses, hair, and other fine vegetation, bound with spider web. It is placed in a horizontal tree fork up to 5m above the ground. The nest is constructed by both sexes, who both also incubate the bluish-green eggs. If conditions are suitable two to three clutches will be raised in a season.
Songs and Calls: The contact call, a thin “psip”, is given persistently.

Your comments and favs are appreciated and do not go unnoticed
Here is an interesting one that I am looking forward to exploring some more this year when I am seeing them out again.
At first glance they seem very much like they are intruda signata but after a few different angles of a male it seems not. So I will try my best to capture a load of different images this year.
With so much around we have learned a great deal but it is only a small portion of what we have left to discover.
A lot of people are grossed out or scared of spiders which is a learned behavior. There has been all sorts of great findings in venom. Imagine if one spider yet to be discovered held the keys to eradicating cancer cells? I bet that would change everyone's perspective about them.
I do this Photography for the art side of it and the sharing results and knowledge. Discovering new things is a pleasant bonus that comes with effort and maybe one day I will be able to get out on a few bigger trips where not many have gone but for now the urban parklands and reserves in my town will suffice.

Skellig Ring
County Kerry, Ireland
09-25-25
Someone recently commented that I'd captured the "flavor" of one of the countries I'd photographed in one of my images. Well, when I looked out over the west coast of Ireland from a bend in the Skellig Ring road here in County Kerry, I felt as if was looking at the "flavor" of the country of Ireland. Here are offshore islands (which lead to the Skelligs, out of frame on the left), rolling hills, old sectioned farmland, grazing cattle. Too bad the houses along the road there aren't made of stone, but the shed is, so that speaks to the long history of the Emerald Isle.
I had pulled off the road and there was another car at the small turnout. A Scottish couple were also admiring the view. We talked for a bit. The air was so clear that I felt I could reach out and touch Puffin Island.
It's been remarked by a few folks that I'm a fairly talented photographer, even by most who have not witnessed my photos displayed on a large monitor as I myself like to look at them. However, no matter how wonderful the scene, or talented the photographer, no picture "captures" the "flavor" of a place so much as to actually be there and witness this great big wonderful world as I've been doing for the past three years. I said a little prayer of thanks as I stood on the small promontory and gazed out at this view, one of many I encountered on the Emerald Isle.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Cockatiel
Scientific Name: Nymphicus hollandicus
Description: The Cockatiel is an unusual member of the cockatoo family. It is small in size, and has a slender body and long pointed tail, which is more characteristic of the smaller parrots. Its plumage is mostly grey, paler below, with a white wing patch, orange cheeks and a distinctive pointed crest. The male can be identified by its bright yellow forehead, face and crest. Young Cockatiels resemble the adult female, although the young males usually have a brighter yellow face. The Cockatiel is not found naturally in any other country, but is a popular cage bird, second only to the Budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulates. The Cockatiel does not have the screeching voice of many other parrots and may learn to 'speak'.
Distribution: The Cockatiel is widespread throughout mainland Australia, but is uncommon in Tasmania, with only a few sightings being reported to date.
Habitat: The Cockatiel is seen in pairs or small flocks, in most types of open country, usually near water. It is common throughout its range, especially in the north and the more arid inland areas.
Seasonal movements: Throughout its range, the Cockatiel is strongly nomadic, moving around in response to the availability of food and water.
Feeding: Cockatiels feed on a variety of grass seeds, nuts, berries and grain. They may feed either on the ground or in trees, and always in small to large numbers. Cockatiels roost in trees near water and travel from these areas in large flocks to feeding grounds.
Breeding: Cockatiels may breed at any time, in response to suitable periods of rain, especially in the more arid regions. Both sexes share the incubation of the eggs, which are laid in a hollow, high up in trees. Suitable trees are either in or close to water. Cockatiels enter the nest hollow tail first.
Calls: Although mostly silent, the Cockatiel gives a long and distinctive "queel-queel" in flight. It does not have the screeching voice of many other parrots and may learn to 'speak'.
Minimum Size: 30cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 32cm
Average weight: 90g
Breeding season: Normally July to December in south of range
Clutch Size: 2 to 9, usually 5
Incubation: 19 days
Nestling Period: 30 days

By the comments and feedback I get, a lot of people enjoy seeing laundry out in towns and cities.
In much of North America you can't do it because some folks deem it just does not 'look right'!

Comment être solaire quand l'humanité souffre partout, quand la douleur physique et morale, la violence, la guerre recouvrent tout? Eh bien peut-être rester solaire à cause de tout cela. Constater, dénoncer sont des tâches essentielles. Mais dire qu'autre chose est possible, ici. Plus les jours passent et plus j'ai envie de guetter la lumière, à plus forte raison si elle s'amenuise. Rester du côté du soleil." Philippe Delerm.

Collared (now called Torresian) Kingfisher
Scientific name: Todiramphus chloris
The Collared Kingfisher is a medium-sized kingfisher (body length of 23-27 cm) with a large, black kookaburra-like bill. These Kingfishers are dull olive-green above and white on the underbody, with a dark brownish-olive cap, white spot on the lores (between the bill and the eye) and a broad white collar on the neck that extends to join the white underbody. The uppertail and lower edge of the folded wings are blue. The Collared Kingfisher is easily confused with the much more common and widespread Sacred Kingfisher Todiramphus sanctus. The two species have a very similar shape but the Collared Kingfisher is considerably larger and stockier, with a much longer and heavier bill. In the Collared Kingfisher the loral spot, underbody and collar are white, whereas they are buff in the Sacred, and the Sacred also has more blue on the folded wing. The Forest Kingfisher Todiramphus macleayii also occurs in the same region as the Collared but is much smaller, with a finer bill, and has strongly blue upperparts and white wing-patches (usually only obvious in flight). Birds are usually seen singly or in pairs. Its flight is swift and direct, and usually low over water or vegetation. The main call is a loud, strident, deliberate two or three note call, simialr to that of the Sacred Kingfisher.
Distribution: In Australia, the Collared Kingfisher extends around the northern coasts, from Shark Bay in northern Western Australia to the estuary of the Tweed River in far north-eastern NSW, with rare scattered records south of there, mainly south to the Clarence River. In NSW, the species is observed regularly only at Ukerebagh and nearby Cobaki Broadwater, and it breeds along the Tweed River estuary. Beyond Australia, the species is widely distributed from the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf in the Middle East, through southern and south-eastern Asia to Indonesia and New Guinea and east to the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
Habitat and ecology: Collared Kingfishers are virtually restricted to mangrove associations of estuaries, inlets, sheltered bays and islands, and the tidal flats and littoral zone bordering mangroves. They sometimes occur in terrestrial forests or woodlands bordering mangroves, where they will nest in holes in trees or in arboreal termitaria. They are sometimes seen in streets or gardens in built-up areas bordering mangrove vegetation. Nests are usually in holes in trunks of large, live or dead mangrove trees, though they sometimes nest in hollows or in arboreal termite nests in large eucalypts or paperbarks adjacent to mangroves or estuarine foraging habitats. They are often seen perched on rock walls, jetties, piles or on the ground on tidal flats. They also sometimes occur in parks and gardens along foreshores. Mostly take food from the ground, from the surface of mud and sand, mainly along seaward fringe of mangroves. Sometimes take food from shallow water or from air. The diet consists mostly of crustaceans, especially crabs, but they also take insects, small fish, and lizards. They have also been reported to occasionally take young birds.
Breeding is usually in spring and summer, with clutches observed in NSW in September to December, and young birds from October to January. Birds usually lay three eggs, but clutches of two to four recorded. Young leave the nest about 1 month after hatching.
