Lindoso - Viana do Castelo - Portugal
The espigueiro, also called canastro, caniço or hôrreo, is a structure usually made of stone and wood, although there are some entirely of stone, with the function of drying the coarse corn through the lateral fissures, and at the same time preventing the destruction of the corn by rodents through the elevation of the structure. As corn requires harvesting in the fall, it needs to be as airy as possible to dry in a season as bad as winter.
In the territory of Continental Portugal, they are mainly to the North, in particular in the Minho, Beira Litoral, Beira Interior and Oeste de Trás-os-Montes regions.
In Galicia, in Spain, there are similar granaries to those that exist in Portugal. There are also similar structures in the Spanish regions of Navarra, Asturias, Cantabria and in the province of Leon, where they are called hórreo.
There are also very similar constructions in Scandinavia, especially in Norway, where they are called stabbur and in Sweden, called härbre.
Thought I'd better give the nature lover theme a break and return to city night shots. This was taken back at the start of January, on the north bank of the Thames, underneath the Millenium bridge.

This eagle certainly did dare and carries away it's prize.
A revisit to these guys is high on my list of things to do in 2018. It was certainly one of my best days out in 2017 despite the poor light conditions.
A true unquestionable master of the skies the magnificent white tailed eagle. Seen here making off with it's catch, the UK's largest most powerful and arguably most beautiful bird .
The eagles are a fabulous advert for conservation and a great blueprint for the reintroduction of other former native species.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. His bag says "Doing Our Bit" in relation to recycling I imagine but it is a suitable title for the pandemic too as both my subject and I are wearing masks here. A 'thank you' was shared between us both after I took this. Enjoy!

A lone cyclist passes through the Praça do Comércio. This was taken toward the end of April while Portugal was still in lockdown.
We have been in Lisbon Portugal for the last three and a half months. Like many around the world we have been staying in a lot, going out for groceries and occasional walks around the city. Just recently we are seeing more and more people out and about as Portugal opens up to tourists, at least for the time being.

This photo was taken by my husband before we left, and he kindly let me do a tiny bit of editing. We've been told by our son that the boys are doing just fine in our absence, and they insisted on wishing everyone a
Happy Caturday!
This young ayuyu, or coconut crab, collapsed into its borrowed shell when I disturbed it.
Ayuyu are the world's largest land invertebrates and can reach body sizes up to 16 inches with leg spans more than three feet. Born in the ocean, they spend about a month as larvae before sinking to the bottom and finding shells to protect them while migrating to shore. Once ashore they live much like hermit crabs until growing a hard abdominal shell of their own and can live over 60 years with no natural predators other than other ayuyu and humans.

Dor Walker, here's my version... adjusted various tones & hues plus the little puddle. Tried to add some punch to it but don't know if I succeded.
Thanks for the challenge!
Do you dream, that the world will know your name
So tell me your name
Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon
This heron is intent on finding its next meal.
Fun facts:
Great Blue Herons look enormous in flight, with a six-foot wingspan.
Both parents take turns incubating the eggs for 4 weeks.
In flight, a Great Blue Heron usually holds its head close to its body with the neck bent.
The young can first fly at about 60 days old.
I've seen them fledge for the first time and they are quite awkward but not for long as they learn to fly adeptly quite quickly.
Pacific poison oak!
The western variety.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicodendron_diversilobum.
"Like other members of the genus Toxicodendron, T. diversilobum causes itching and allergic rashes in many humans after contact by touch or smoke inhalation. "
I think I am not allergic to it, but I don't want to 'test the water"!
He may look sweet and cuddly, but he's a killing machine in disguise.
(I have several scares from his and mine "fun & games.")
The low tide along the Maine coast reveals a lot of cool details ... the trick is not ending up on your butt with all the slippery rocks.

A couple pronghorn antelope does relaxing in the sun. Looks like they were having a nice chat with the doe on the left saying something......
Wasn't aware that Pronghorn males are called bucks and females are called does. As a member of the superfamily Giraffoidea, the pronghorn's closest living relatives are the giraffes and okapi. They aren't technically antelopes. Definitely a unique American animal.
Thank you for taking a look!
