Red-tailed Hawk. (Immature Cooper's Hawk?) * A group of hawks has many collective nouns, including a "boil", "knot", "spiraling", "stream", and "tower" of hawks. * Males and females perform a courtship ritual in which they dive and roll in the sky. They will even lock talons and fall together a distance before splitting apart. * The raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is typically used in movies to represent any eagle or hawk anywhere in the world. * They can spot a mouse from a height of 100 feet.

Inside Crown Hill Cemetery, as you go up what turns out to be the highest hill in Indianapolis, you find the graves of some of our city’s most prominent and wealthy citizens. The markers can be elaborate, sometimes even gaudy.
This statue of a kneeling boy sits on a concrete bench marked “Home Sweet Home.” No name is given. It’s unusual for this part of the cemetery. I’ve always wondered this statue’s story.

Despite having been served tea in bed, Sally looks stern as she contemplates the view on our awakening on our first morning on the ‘Indian Pacific’. What a view! Nullarbor Plain, WA/SA
Bit of a pun that, as Appomattox is his name. Apple looking a little uncomfortable wearing a present from Papaw and Mawma! For those who don't know, Appomattox is the place where Lee surrendered to Grant, thus ending the American Civil War.

I used the wonderful CoffeeShop Eye Bright for this effect.
Also used aFlorabella texure: tea-stained overlay, I think.
I love my birdy. I put my hand infront of her and she hops on. When I talk to her, she looks at me and seems like she is listening.
Four of my birdies died today.
RIP, I love you all.
Floyd doesn't really like being picked up, to him it's just one of life's little irritations- 'the humans will soon get fed up and put me down, so that I can get on with really important stuff like eating all the flowers in the garden'. Yes flowers! He particularly likes rose petals and geraniums, cleverly avoiding all lilies.
Must admit I didn't take this shot- it was taken by my step-daughter Tessa. www.flickr.com/photos/tessamorgan/
But I did manipulate it in Lightroom and desaturate it because of the bright blue shirt my hubby was wearing.
A man contemplating what pose to strike for all his social media followers to see. "This is me at lunch."

Think they live a pretty good life in the urban djungle.
There´s two restaurants nearby, but they don´t seem to bother the guests outdoor.
The answer is found on the backstreet: they´re dumpster divers.
Pretty clever.
The water goes calm as the sun falls behind the mountains, a perfect time to stare at Mount Cook and the blue waters beneath it
