A female Anna's Hummingbird is on high alert to defend her Lantana flowers! She started chattering, flared her tail, and flew up to chase off an incoming Hummingbird. She was successful this time!!

Guarding our coastline from high tides, while Rob, 'H' and I were more worried about the picnic blanket and the football!
One of several photos that I took while visiting this quaint and very picturesque old lobster fishing village of Stonington Maine. The town, filled with beautiful and boundless photographic opportunities of old buildings, lobster and fishing boats, viewed in a beautiful harbor setting often lined with wild rosa rugosa rose bushes.
Stonington is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. It's located on the southern portion of the island of Deer Isle. The population was 1,056 at the 2020 census. It includes the villages of Burnt Cove, Oceanville, Green Head, and Clam City. A picturesque working waterfront and tranquil tourist destination in eastern Penobscot Bay, Stonington has consistently ranked among the top lobster ports in the county and is the largest lobster port in Maine. In 2011, 14,854,989 pounds of lobster were landed by Stonington fishermen with a value of $46.3 million.
Sailors on the island became renowned for their maritime skills. Full crews for two America's Cup teams were recruited from Deer Isle for the victorious America's Cup Races of 1895 on The Defender and again in 1899 on Columbia. The Stonington harbor has long been filled with Friendship Sloops among other boat designs, powered by sail only. Lobstermen once used them to haul traps. Most of their trips were to the outer islands (like York Island) near Isle au Haut, fishing during the week and returning to the harbor on weekends. This changed with the advent of gasoline or diesel engines, along with new hull designs, which enabled fishermen to make day trips to fishing grounds in Penobscot Bay.
Late on a cold, clear and starry night. The Defender was illuminated with 1 x ProFoto B1 500watt Strobe.

I was dressed in my newly delivered R2 fashion cyber suit.With a SAC MP18 in my right hand and a SAC knife in my left,
I jump off my hoverbike,
spinning my body, releasing the bullets and protecting my landing base.
This is only an image of the work. It does not change my concern for the world peace situation. Please do not misunderstand me.

Everything was peaceful -- the pair of Loons were preening while I was chimping (looking at my photos in the viewfinder from my kayak) When all of a sudden all hell broke loose, couldn't see who the intruder was until it appeared after the commotion was over and it turned out to be a musky muskrat. I had no idea muskrats were a threat but I guess everything is a potential threat. The muskrat looked put out he didn't get egg for breakfast. I was so relieved everything was fine because I experienced lots of heartache with nest robbers this year. First a goose lost all her eggs, then falcons were stealing magpie babies out of the nest right in front of me in my yard, the death cry of a baby is something I never want to hear again. I hope the Loons are good after all the brutal thunderstorms we've had, she only has one egg left out of two. It was worth driving through a washed out road to get this image... I was going to turn around and go back home.
Mother Nature has no mercy.

This female Rufous Hummingbird worked so hard defending the feeder and grevillea plants in the yard all morning. In the afternoon, the male took over dominance of the yard. They make me tired watching how hard they work.
Auf Youtube gibt es ein Video wie das Foto entstanden ist. Im Videobereich bin ich erst am Anfang aber ich versuche mich auch da zu verbessern. Würde mich freuen wenn ihr vorbeischaut und auch gerne das Video kommentieren würdet.
On Youtube there is a video of how the photo was taken. In the video area I am only at the beginning but I try to improve there as well. I would be happy if you come by and comment the video.

I saw so many seals while kayaking out in the Dungeness Bay yesterday. At one point, I counted 11 watching me from all around.

This Great Blue Heron was chasing another GBH that had entered his part of the water. Taken at a local lake here in Colorado.
I couldn't figure out whether this guy was there to defend the fort, or if he was just a really scaly tourist. Either way this gguy was oblivious to all of the attention he was receiving. He was basking in the window of the gift shop at Castillo de San Crystobal in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Ich möchte klar stellen das es mir nicht um den Einsatzzweck dieser Maschinen geht, sondern um die Faszination der Technik und des Erlebens der dargestellten Flugfähigkeiten.

I would like to make it clear that I am not concerned with the purpose of these machines, but with the fascination of the technology and the experience of the flight capabilities shown.

El embrujo de Granada y la espectacular Alhambra
La Alhambra de Granada es uno de los monumentos más espectaculares de Andalucía, de visita obligada si nos acercamos a Granada: Siempre tiene un nuevo detalle mágico para descubrir.
No pases por Granada sin descubrir su embrujo y la espectacular Alhambra.
El monumento es una ciudad palatina Andalusí.
Un rico complejo palaciego y fortaleza que alojaba al monarca y a la corte del Reino Nazarí de Granada.
Su verdadero atractivo, como en otras obras musulmanas de la época, no sólo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente.
Su parte más antigua es la Alcazaba.
Esta es un recinto militar, por lo que cuenta con diversas torres defensivas, como las de la Vela y la del Homenaje, entre otras.
La Alcazaba, llamada Qa’lat al-Hamra, es decir, Castillo Rojo, dará nombre posteriormente a todo el conjunto, que será conocido como Medina al-Hamra, la ciudad de la Alhambra.
Junto a la Alcazaba surge, posteriormente, una ciudad palaciega.
El complejo de los Palacios Nazaríes, que pudieron ser siete, comienza por el Mexuar, en el que funcionaba el Tribunal Real.
Anexo a éste se situaba el Palacio de Comares, articulado en torno al magnífico Patio de los Arrayanes, el centro de la actividad diplomática y política.
En el Patio, el agua de la alberca conseguía maravillar a los visitantes con un espectacular efecto de espejo, que reflejaba los arcos y la Torre de Comares y hacía de la construcción un palacio flotante.
Patio_de_los_ArrayanesEl conjunto de los Palacios Nazaríes se completa con el complejo de edificios situados alrededor del Patio de los Leones, quizá el lugar más emblemático de la Alhambra.
Éste era el núcleo de la residencia privada del sultán, en el que también había unas dependencias destinadas a las mujeres.
El último rey Nazarí que la habitó y perdió fue Boabdil.
Según la leyenda, bella pero incierta, al llegar al punto desde el cual se ve aún la ciudad por el camino de la costa, antes de perderla de vista tras una colina, refrenó su caballo, suspiró llorando y, entonces, fue cuando su madre, la implacable sultana Aixa, le dirigió el famoso apóstrofe que dice:
“llora como mujer lo que no supiste defender como hombre”
