Another quiet moment with the parakeets of Parco Talenti, perched on a bare branch and warmed by the winter sun. Their bright green plumage stands out vividly against the blue Roman sky, creating a scene that feels almost tropical despite the urban setting.

These birds are monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus), a species originally native to South America. Over the past decades they have established stable populations in several European cities, including Rome. Their adaptability to urban environments is remarkable: they feed on a wide range of plants and easily find shelter in parks and tree-lined neighborhoods.

At the same time, their success has sparked debate. In many places they are considered an invasive species because they can compete with native birds for food and nesting sites. Yet observing them here—quietly resting on a branch in a residential park—it is hard not to appreciate how seamlessly they have integrated into this landscape.

For a photographer, they represent an unexpected subject: a touch of distant ecosystems quietly inhabiting the everyday scenery of the city.

🇮🇹

Un altro momento tranquillo con i pappagalli del Parco Talenti, appollaiati su un ramo spoglio e illuminati dal sole invernale. Il verde brillante del loro piumaggio risalta contro il cielo azzurro di Roma, creando una scena quasi tropicale in pieno contesto urbano.

Questi uccelli sono parrocchetti monaci (Myiopsitta monachus), una specie originaria del Sud America. Negli ultimi decenni hanno colonizzato numerose città europee, Roma compresa, dimostrando una straordinaria capacità di adattamento agli ambienti urbani. Si nutrono di una grande varietà di piante e trovano facilmente rifugio nei parchi e nelle aree alberate dei quartieri residenziali.

Il loro successo, tuttavia, è oggetto di dibattito. In molti contesti sono considerati una specie invasiva, perché possono competere con gli uccelli autoctoni per il cibo e i siti di nidificazione. Eppure, osservandoli qui—tranquilli su un ramo in un parco di quartiere—è difficile non notare quanto ormai facciano parte del paesaggio urbano.

Per chi fotografa, rappresentano un soggetto inatteso: un piccolo frammento di ecosistemi lontani che si inserisce silenziosamente nella quotidianità della città.

I used Renee's photo to create the background in DDG Text 2 Dream after rotating it 90 degrees to the right, then cut out one of her leather ferns six times from her photo, and blended them with the DDG work using PSE21. Can you find them??

I applied a Topaz Studio "Expressionism" look at 30% last.

Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

I blended two unique DDG Text 2 Dream image layers in PS2023. The top layer (head with scarf and collar) used a Wikipedia public domain image of Johannes Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" as the source. That prompt was: Girl with a Pearl Earring, stunningly Beautiful open eyes, in the style of Johannes Vermeer, in a room lit only by burning candles, elegant, sensuality, beautiful, oil on canvas, crisp quality, high definition. The base layer (woman in a room with candles at her vanity) was created using this prompt: in the style of Johannes Vermeer, a room lit only by burning candles. I let DDG choose its source. I hand painted parts of the scarf (to make it orange like the gown). painted out the original head, changed the background, painted out an arm/ hand that originally looked like a doughy loaf of bread, and repaired the shape of a candle holder. I also created a third layer by cloning the new head, reversed its direction, modified its shape, and blended it on the mirror to create the reflection and altered its color and vibrance to be more subdued in tone. These changes were all done in PS 2023. Last, I applied Topaz Gigapixel Ai to sharpen the image and Topaz Studio look "Expressionism" at 23%.

Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

Was hoping to get my first April sunset pics but no sign of the setting sun and the light was completely flat!

Tried to get a little creative using street lights, trees and my car to hopefully create something a bit interesting out of a very ordinary scene. Could not leave empty handed!
