ARCHITECTURALLY CONSUMED (UNLIMITED)

This picture was taken at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Every year thousands of eagles gather to feast on the spawning salmon. One eagle pulls a fish out of the river and then the battles begin. Some of the fish are "stolen" multiple times before being consumed. Here an older eagle chases off a juvenile.
The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is a state park and wildlife refuge in the U.S. state of Alaska near Haines. Established in 1982, the park covers 49,320 acres, mainly along the Chilkat River, with sections along the Klehini and Tsirku rivers. (Wikipedia)

There are three species, the Bohemian, cedar, and Japanese waxwings. The Bohemian waxwing is a is short-tailed, mainly brownish-grey, and has a conspicuous crest on its head. The wings are very distinctive; the flight feathers are black and the primaries have markings that produce a yellow stripe and white "fishhooks" on the closed wing.
Waxwings are primarily fruit eaters, but also consume insects during the breeding season. Mosquitoes and midges are the most common prey, but many other insects and some spiders are eaten.

Memories blur into dreams. Light brings them to truth.
Everything unforgiving. everything becoming hallow.
Loneliness consumes and there is no way back.
The places you played, the places you called home,
The people you thought you loved, all of them.
Reduced to a memory of another life. A life you never lived.
All the yesterdays that came from tomorrow,
all the tomorrows that never came from yesterday.
A new beginning because forever is never forever

One of the most beautiful flowers I know belongs to this tree, that has leaves that smell like peanut butter. The flowers however, are very delicate and has magical fragrance.
Keeping a simple abstract that caught my eyes down an alley. A garage door holding its own!
Amazing how nature and time create such beautiful lines and textures.
-- have a great weekend too!
Can I Call You Rose — Thee Sacred Souls
Can I call you Rose? (Can I call you Rose?)
'Cause you're sweet like a flower in bloom
(Can I call you Rose?)
Can I call you Rose? (Can I call you Rose?)
'Cause you're fragrance takes over the room
(Can I call you Rose?) Darling
I wanna plant you in my heart, oh
So love can grow
Can I call you Rose? (Can I call you Rose?)
'Cause your thorns won't let blood in too soon
(Can I call you Rose?)
Can I call you Rose? (Can I call you Rose?)
'Cause your roots have the power to consume
(Can I call you Rose?) Me
I wanna plant you in my heart, oh
So loving grow
I was meditating on love and you and roses and
The universe told me: "Put it in a love song"
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
Oh, Rose
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
Oh, Rose
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
Won't you let me in your heart?
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
Your heart
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
Oh, your heart
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)
(Put it in a love, put it in a love, put it in a love song)

Arles le 13 août 2016.
Nous sommes un samedi, jour du magnifique marché d'Arles.
Mon 11ème livret photographique sur cette city que j'aime tant parcourir, re découvrir.
Avec, toujours, cet enivrant instant où je gare ma voiture et ... vite,
illico, ce sentiment confus que tout sera net, précis, vivant.
Je scrute chaque 1ers murs, chaque 1ères façades.
Volets, portes languedociennes, plantes en vrac un peu partout,
affiches déchirées, consumées,
des gamins en mouvements dans des ruelles que le soleil bombarde.
L'occasion encore une fois de vivre sur place
un petit bout de ces rencontres photographiques d'Arles. Surtout le off des murs ...
Intensément perdu.

happy sliderssunday!
Up close and personal with this wonderful tree that seems to be doing its best to ensnare me with its writhing snake like branches. Taken at Brush Hill Nature Reserve, Buckinghamshire, on a very chilly January morning.
Guillemot /Murre - Uria aalge
The common murre or common guillemot (Uria aalge) is a large auk. It is also known as the thin-billed murre in North America. It has a circumpolar distribution, occurring in low-Arctic and boreal waters in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. It spends most of its time at sea, only coming to land to breed on rocky cliff shores or islands.
Common murres have fast direct flight but are not very agile. They are more manoeuvrable underwater, typically diving to depths of 30–60 m (98–197 ft). Depths of up to 180 m (590 ft) have been recorded.
Common murres breed in colonies at high densities. Nesting pairs may be in bodily contact with their neighbours. They make no nest; their single egg is incubated on a bare rock ledge on a cliff face. Eggs hatch after ~30 days incubation. The chick is born downy and can regulate its body temperature after 10 days. Some 20 days after hatching the chick leaves its nesting ledge and heads for the sea, unable to fly, but gliding for some distance with fluttering wings, accompanied by its male parent. Chicks are capable of diving as soon as they hit the water. The female stays at the nest site for some 14 days after the chick has left.
Both male and female common murres moult after breeding and become flightless for 1–2 months. In southern populations they occasionally return to the nest site throughout the winter. Northern populations spend the winter farther from their colonies.
Some individuals in the North Atlantic, known as "bridled guillemots", have a white ring around the eye extending back as a white line. This is not a distinct subspecies, but a polymorphism that becomes more common the farther north the birds breed.
The common murre nests in densely packed colonies (known as "loomeries"), with up to twenty pairs occupying one square metre at peak season.[citation needed] Common murres do not make nests and lay their eggs on bare rock ledges, under rocks, or the ground. They first breed at four to nine years old, but most individuals recruit into the breeding population at ages six or seven, although birds may disperse (permanently depart their natal colony) if space is limited. Annual survival probability for birds aged 6–15 is 0.895, and average lifespan is about 20 years. Breeding success increases with age up to age 9-10 to 0.7 fledglings per pair, then declines in the oldest age birds, perhaps indicating reproductive senesence.
High densities mean that birds are close contact with neighbouring breeders. Common murres perform appeasement displays more often at high densities and more often than razorbills.
Allopreening is common both between mates and between neighbours. Allopreening helps to reduce parasites, and it may also have important social functions. Frequency of allopreening a neighbour correlates well with current breeding success.
Allopreening may function as a stress-reducer; ledges with low levels of allopreening show increased levels of fighting and reduced breeding success.
Alloparenting behaviour is frequently observed. Non-breeding and failed breeders show great interest in other chicks, and will attempt to brood or feed them. This activity is more common as the chicks get older and begin to explore their ledge. There has also been a record of a pair managing to raise two chicks. Adults that have lost chicks or eggs will sometimes bring fish to the nest site and try to feed their imaginary chick.
At time of extreme food stress, the social activity of the breeding ledge can break down.
On the Isle of May colony in 2007, food availability was low. Adults spent more of their time-budget foraging for their chicks and had to leave them unattended at times. Unattended chicks were attacked by breeding neighbour which often led to their deaths. Non-breeding and failed breeders continued to show alloparental care.
In areas such as Newfoundland, the birds, along with the related thick-billed murre, are referred to as 'turrs' or 'tuirs', and are consumed. The meat is dark and quite oily, due to the birds' diet of fish. Eggs have also been harvested.
Eggers from San Francisco took almost half a million eggs a year from the Farallon Islands in the mid-19th century to feed the growing city.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the feeling of anger and anguish
~muteD~
A fiery pit
is blossoming inside of
my chest.
Where my heart
used to reside
no longer resides
a place capable of any
love.
Hate slithers in
like the first rays
of sunlight
on a Sunday morning
consuming me before I even open my eyes.
and I’m finding out
that the only way to
silence the voices in my head
is to scream my own voice raw
and drown them out.
bubbling up like a volcano
on the cusp of erupting
is every penny I’ve ever collected.
holding the memories of what
could never be again.
I’m not sure what
I hate more.
How you made me feel
or myself?

A shot from the side of the path as I was consumed by green as I ambled my way through the woods at Whiteleaf yesterday. I was quite taken by the silvery trunk being slowly consumed by the green moss working its way up.
A revisit to the haunted...ooops! I mean, HAUNTING Paradise Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico. ****Also, would like to pass on this information about the disappearance of the group Photo Artistry.
“*A note from Wilson Lam at Flickr headquarters regarding the disappearance of The Photo Artistry group:
May 11, 2018 - 10:17AM PST - We have identified 120 groups from shard 6 that have gone missing during the time the shard was running empty and will be working on restoring those as well.
As you can tell this is a drawn out, tedious and time consuming process that will take at least a few days to get back to where we were. WL” Let’s hope that all will be corrected very soon, and Photo Artistry will return!

This is another photo from our trip to the Wägitalersee. It was very foggy and I saw those trees in the distance, barley visible.
Just love the outstretched branches seemingly trying to ensure that this is its space. Also some rare birch make an appearance instead of the more common beech that seem to dominate the local woods. Taken at Whiteleaf Woods, Buckinghamshire.

Let me remind everyone folks that posting more than 1-2-3 or more images on a daily basis I have time to comment on one 1 and am sorry if I miss some, but it is very time consuming, would love to see and comment on all but it's just not possible.
Here is my post for tomorrow folks a very early shoot, so have a great evening and a great day tomorrow.
** Exploring the Fairlands *** Fashion Show
Performance by Suoh Agency and Mahasiah Model Agency, a fashion show where each model will present a region through an original style. April 29, 2023
Naar representing the region of NOVA NADIYA
Elizabeth Tinsley has created the enchanted Nova Nadya, with sponsorship from Unity Maxim Battle & Role Play System. Between the snow, the rocks, the hooting of an owl... the brambles consume the remains of life of those who dare to defy wild nature. Soon, this now silent land will be filled with adventurers in the famous Fairlands Quest!
Naar transforms from a dragon, confined to this frozen world. “I am trapped between the brambles and the ice, my wings want to take flight, but the cold envelops them and paralyzes them. The fire in my throat froze long ago. I must find a way to get out of here or trust someone to rescue me.” With the wonderful wings of Spider Productions, the transformation is perfect
You might be thinking that I went to Mars for this photo, but in fact I found this cool beetle crawling around locally at Cardinal Marsh last summer. This unique beetle is designed by nature to look like a dangerous stinging wasp so potential predators steer clear, even though it's totally harmless. Adults like this one likely feed on tree leaves and sap while their larvae consume the wood in decaying oak trees.
During the winter months, especially, you can often find birds at the feeders. That was the case with this White-breasted Nuthatch. It had snatched a seed and was flying away when this shot was taken, either to consume the seed or to hide it somewhere to eat later, which they are known to do. Not long after this shot was taken, it was back for more.
