Back on the Isle of Skye.. On the way back to Glasgow.. Couldn't help but stop at Eilean Donan Castle again... Did you ever visit a place that was so lovely you could not stop taking pictures of it? This is one of those places for me. However, with the sky being mostly cloudless at that point I was beginning to be a bit bored, so I have decided to experiment a bit.. This is one of those experimental shots, I've been meaning to do for a while and, with the castle being in the middle it worked pretty neat. What do you think?

Splendid Fairy-wren

Scientific Name: Malurus splendens

Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.

Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.

Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.

Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.

Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.

Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.

Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.

Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.

Minimum Size: 12cm

Maximum Size: 14cm

Average size: 13cm

Average weight: 9g

Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April

Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3

Incubation: 15 days

Nestling Period: 11 days

The stone circle at Castlerigg (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) is situated near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England. One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages.

Various archaeologists have commented positively on the beauty and romance of the Castlerigg ring and its natural environment. In his study of the stone circles of Cumbria, archaeologist John Waterhouse commented that the site was "one of the most visually-impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain."

Every year, thousands of tourists travel to the site, making it the most visited stone circle in Cumbria.This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.

All constructive comments are appreciated. TIA.

This Coopers Hawk was feeding on a fallen tree that crossed the Seine River. I was able to take this picture from my kayak as I drifted downstream towards the hawk. He stayed in place on the log until I passed directly under him, at which time he flew off to a higher perch.

Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You’re most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. (Cornell).

Many thanks for your comments, faves, and follows :)

There are loads of more photos in the first comment, please do look at them too. They are a part of this posting.

I am not among those who walk the most in the mountains, my wife do a lot more mountains during summer than me.

But when I am in the mountains, when the weather is like this, and the views as amazing as this, then I feel a deep joy in my heart. A joy that is hard to explain, but it is partly a love for this country I am proud to call mine.

We are still in the mountains behind the Hoven skylift (look at my previous posting if you haven't alreaddy done so). The skylift might well be a crowded tourist trap on a day like this, but walk up the hills behind and leave the main paths and you get the genuin feeling of being in the mountain, there are only a few people there with you.

A video, and band, I found by chance is "I'll follow you" by the rock band Shinedown. I don't know much about them, but really liked this song. And many more they have, among them a good cover of "Simple Man"

But, back to "I'll follow you". It is something as little masculine as a pure love song, and the video have some really nice scenes from what must be Iceland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IF5TfnmV0k

Thanks so much Bo for allowing me once more to play with your wonderful shot. This time it's Winter Warmer.

I hope this goes some way into warming you up. Living in such cold conditions (-18C) in Warsaw, Poland, you need help. Just hold the orb in your hands. :-)) LOL

(3rd of three)

(part of a project I'm working on for my photo class. It's one of three for a "hoax". My idea is that there are cannibals in the mirrors that kidnap people. My teacher has a preference for more non-cutesty photography.)

(Done with this projects :) - suh-weet!)

A rare night in at home and trying out a couple of new things. Firstly, after a suggestion from a friend, fishnet tights with my dress.

Secondly, and much more daring, a corset and hold-ups!
