Santa Maria della Salute or Saint Mary of Health as an amazing story that can be easily associate with it the famous masks of the doctors of the black plague.
I can easily go for a walk where I live now and can count well over 100 individual rabbits in a space of half hour. All are in good condition with no signs or scars of that dreadful myxomatosis disease. With patients you can get fairly close to them in which to take a few photos.

Leaves the husk

Macaws are perhaps the most easily recognizable birds in the parrot family. Colorful and entertaining, these birds have been kept as pets for hundreds of years.These birds are characters, each having different personalities, likes, and dislikes. Due to their size, macaws can be challenging to care for, but they are loyal companions who are worth the time commitment. Here are a few fun facts about these playful members of the parrot family.When properly taken care of, some macaw species, such as blue and gold macaws can live for an average of 60 years, and many have been recorded to live for up to 80 years or even more.Those who are interested in adopting a macaw are strongly cautioned to make sure that they are willing to commit enough time to care for their pet. It is not at all uncommon for these birds to outlive their owners, so make the same provisions for their care as you would for any other dependent.
Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Norfolk
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.
A resident babbler in the country, social and mostly seen in small groups of 2 - 4. They are noisy and one can hear their calls easily in the countryside near bushes. I heard their calls the other day - loud and sweet and then sighted maybe 4 of them. They were on top of the bushes seemingly enjoying the bright sun and cool breeze. They were not bothered by our presence and we had a good time watching their play.
The bird watched the butterfly fly past multiple times, but didn't try to grab it for a meal. I suppose very few butterflies are edible.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
EASILY DETECTED, by its loud alarm call, most vocal in spring, present in woodlands and easy to attract to the garden with peanut feeders, the Great Spotted, is doing fairly well with numbers unlike the Lesser Spotted and the Green that are in decline ! They can be quite trusting, and move towards you, but if you move to them, they are off ! A real joy to watch !

Looking at the Klein Furkahorn and the Rhône Glacier . No. 2103.
"The Rhône Glacier (German: Rhonegletscher/ Valais German: "Rottengletscher", French: le glacier du Rhône) is a glacier in the Swiss Alps and the source of the river Rhône and one of the primary contributors to Lake Geneva in the far eastern end of the Swiss canton of Valais. Because the Glacier is located close to the Furka Pass road it is easily accessible.
Der Rhonegletscher (selten auch Rottengletscher genannt) ist ein Talgletscher im Quellgebiet der Rhone im äussersten Nordosten des Kantons Wallis in den Zentralalpen der Schweiz. Er ist knapp acht Kilometer lang, weist eine durchschnittliche Breite von ungefähr zwei Kilometer auf und bedeckt eine Fläche von ungefähr 16 km². Der Rhonegletscher war vor allem im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgrund seiner damals noch weit ins Tal bei Gletsch hinunter reichenden Zunge eine grosse Touristenattraktion. Er schmilzt seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kontinuierlich. Möglicherweise wird er bis ins Jahr 2100 beinahe vollständig verschwunden sein.
Le glacier du Rhône (Rhonegletscher ou Rottengletscher en allemand) se trouve à l'extrémité nord-est du canton du Valais en Suisse. Il donne naissance au Rhône, en amont de Gletsch, qui s'écoule ensuite dans la vallée de Conches.
Le glacier s'étend sur 8 kilomètres et atteint une largeur d'un peu plus de 1 000 mètres. Sa superficie est de 17 km2. Comme la plupart des glaciers alpins, il a passablement reculé depuis le milieu du xixe siècle. Il est facilement accessible via la route du col de la Furka. Une galerie creusée dans la glace permet de visiter l'intérieur du glacier."

The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world and easily one of the most spectacular. It is an enormous bird weighing on average 1.5 kilograms (3.5 pounds) and is completely blue save its dark bill and bare yellow orbital ring and stripe at base of its lower mandible. It is completely dependent on the fruits of a number of palm species and has a necessarily massive bill to aid in the cracking of the tough exterior. Due to its dependence on palm fruit its range is regulated by the presence and abundance of its preferred species and is distributed in north central and south central Brazil into extreme north west Paraguay where it can be found in palm savannas, Mauritia palm stands, open dry woodland, gallery forest and the edge of humid lowland forest. Status - Vulnerable.
It was a rare moment to find this beautiful flock! Here you see 5 macaws but there were more than 20 in the tree!
Have a peaceful new week!

It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.
I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!
I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

The Monarch is a milkweed butterfly. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3 1⁄2–4 in).
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north.
The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.

This large hummingbird has a somewhat down-curved bill. Though iridescent green, it appears black in mediocre to poor light. Most easily distinguished from Purple-throated Carib by its dull wings (wings are iridescent green in Purple-throated) and less curved bill. Common in much of its range, where it frequents forests but also visits gardens and parks. Calls include “chewp” (eBird)
-----------------
Frequent visitors to the gardens around our vacation condo, but very difficult to photograph. Oh, how I long for feeders to make hummingbird photography a little easier. This is the only sharp photo that I managed to capture, and it required lots of help to look like more than a black blob.
St. Lawrence's Gap, Barbados. February 2023.
Forgot the ND filter, so had to improvise on this one. Took loads of the lighthouse that's directly behind me here (I've got a picture of it I took a couple of years ago here), and this one that I turned around and looked back on is easily my favourite!

I've certainly heard them calling but towhees do not make themselves easily seen. I found that to be the case in California with the most striking Spotted Towhee..at least in my location.
There is lots of cover here on the hill going down to a meadow and unless they come up from the ground, I only hear them. That's the real advantage in knowing bird calls. Once I hear that distinctive whistle, I know that I might have a chance to see them. That's really one of the more exciting parts to birding...when the game is afoot! ... so it is a real treat to have captured this lovely female.
Thank you for your visits!

===Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay===

Florida’s Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna) is a songbird found throughout rural areas of Florida. Its breeding range covers most of eastern North America and parts of South America. Experts say it is difficult to distinguish between the Eastern and Western species as it can be determined only by voice and location. Seventeen subspecies of the Eastern Meadowlark are documented.
Actually, the meadowlark is not a lark at all. It is a member of the blackbird family (Icteridae) which also includes cowbirds and orioles. Meadowlarks are easily identified by the bright yellow throat and belly. However, the most distinguishing mark in adults is the black “V” on its chest. It can often be seen on a fence post belting out its clear, melodious songs and whistles.
Adult birds weigh just over five ounces, are seven to ten inches tall with a wingspan of 14 to 16 inches. Both sexes are similar in size, although females are normally smaller with a shorter wingspan.
This bird prefers grassy fields, pastures, cultivated fields, golf courses and other open habitats. It is a good friend to the farmer/rancher and a bug-eating machine. Insects comprise more than 75 percent of its diet, with grains and seeds making up the balance. It is especially fond of grasshoppers and crickets, as well as insect larvae and grubs. It feeds on the ground, picking insects from the surface or probing the soil to reveal its prey. Meadowlarks also eat the seeds of many weeds.
Males have two, sometimes three, mates at a time. Females build nests on the ground using soft woven grasses and hide them in the taller grass of an open field. The nest usually has an arched “roof” with a side entrance. A clutch of two to six grayish-white eggs speckled with brown and lavender may be laid any time from late March through July. Eggs are incubated by the female for 13 to 15 days. The young fledge at 12 days. The parents continue to tend them for about two weeks until they are able to fly. Juveniles are similar to adults, but the black “V” becomes prominent in adulthood. The meadowlark has been known to live ten years in captivity.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
This was the last day of August early evening we had a little stroll over to Fleswick Bay, Tony took his fishing rod to have a scop in off the rocks while I played on the beach with my camera. It was fine for a while on my own as I walked along the beach beneath the cliffs reading the names carved into the sandstone monuments to the past and not so distant past then I started to feel quite alone and spooked, not sure if it was the cliffs dominating or memories that were not mine carved in stone. It was very strange I'm not easily spooked but I was pleased when Tony appeared from round the heads and we started to make our way up from the beach I don't think I will be going back 🌹
The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!
More brightly colored than most wrens, and with a rich musical song, Carolina Wrens are common in open woods and backyards in the southeast. There they busily explore brush piles and low tangles. The adults live in pairs all year, and they may "duet" at any season, with the female giving a chattering note while the male sings. The northern edge of this species' range varies over time: it gradually expands northward during series of mild years, then gets knocked southward again by very severe winters.
Fond this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind

Fairy chimney (hoodoo) rock formations nearby Goreme, in Cappadocia, Turkey. A fairy chimney is a tall, thin spire of soft sedmentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects the column from the elements.
Easily one of my favorite spots I went to in Colorado was Mt Wilson. This one does not show the Schmidt ranch below the mountain but I love how the sunlight caused the peak to glow with a golden tone.

This section of Iguazu Falls is known as Devil's Throat. It is most easily seen/accessible from the Argentine side of the falls via a 1200-yard footbridge after getting off of the Jungle Train at Devil's Throat Station. I took this photo from the balcony at the end of the footbridge. The rushing water of the falls is so loud on the balcony that you almost can't hear anything else, and I got very wet from the misty overspray created by the falls. On the footbridge while walking to and from the falls we saw lots of animals and birds including Coatis and Plush Crested Jays.

An image of a spoonbill from Ding Darling is in the first comment section.
From Wikipedia - The roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) (sometimes placed in its own genus Ajaja) is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in South America mostly east of the Andes, and in coastal regions of the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, the Gulf Coast of the United States and on central Florida's Atlantic coast Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge adjoined with NASA Kennedy Space Center.
This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders.
In the United States, a popular place to observe roseate spoonbills is "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Roseate spoonbills must compete for food with snowy egrets, great egrets, tricolored herons and American white pelicans.
The roseate spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying two to five eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. The bill is yellowish or pinkish.
The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!
Carolina wrens form lifelong pair bonds and pairs often stay together for years. The birds move and feed together, where you see one, you will usually see its mate foraging close by. The pair works together to build a nest, which can be in a tree hole or on a branch, but Carolina wrens are well known for choosing to nest in man made structures such as mail boxes, door wreaths, flower pots, or even a cardboard box in a garage. They use sticks, hair, feathers, and anything that looks suitable—even shed snake skins. They often build multiple nests then select one to raise their chicks.
When feeding, a Carolina wren hops around on the ground and in the underbrush turning over dead leaves, and probing cracks and crannies for spiders, insects and larvae. They also eat fruit and berries, but rarely come to bird feeders.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
Considered Vulnerable by BirdLife International and only easily distinguished from the closely related and formerly conspecific Chestnut-backed Tanager (Tangara preciosa) by the black back, this species is generally poorly known, although it seems to be one the of the few tanagers to perform seasonal migrations. The species’ overall range stretches from Espírito Santo south to Rio Grande do Sul, in southeast Brazil, although there is only one definite record from the last-named state. It is largely restricted to coastal sand-plain forest and littoral scrub, and the species also visits gardens and orchards. Seasonal displacements occur in Rio de Janeiro, where its arrival coincides with the ripening of certain fruits, and the Black-backed Tanager is also more common in São Paulo during the austral winter, which season has produced all of the available records in Espírito Santo. This one was photographed in São Paulo.
Happy Friday!

Although easily overlooked, the Motor Inn Parking Garage on the southwest corner of Monroe and 4th St., is one of downtown Springfield's more interesting structures as it represents the marriage of Art Deco architecture in the form of a two-story parking garage. Thought to be Springfield's first indoor parking garage, the 1920's-era building had parking on the second floor. It was almost torn down in the mid-2000's for downtown housing, but was saved and has since been restored. It now is a combination of retail and office space. The iconic neon Motor Inn Parking sign seen on the building's 4th street side was restored during the renovation.
The Motor Inn Parking Garage is a contributing property within the Central Springfield Historic District. The Central Springfield Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1978. The boundaries of the district were expanded in 1986 and 2015.

Collecting your dust
Collecting your favors
That you, you believe are stolen
Oh, somebody will notice
And you'll be the one so easily deceived
So easily

How did I get here
And where will I leave

EASILY DETECTED BY ITS LOUD ALARM CALL, or by drilling timber with its bill. Could see flashes of red and black, behind
the blind side of this tall tree stump, and guessed what I had
found, waited what seemed forever, then it appeared over the top, and two shots later it was gone, but job done, and I was very pleased to have one in focus. These woodpecker's are doing quite well in southern Britain, as they have learnt to frequent peanut feeders in gardens, and its a real joy to me to see them in woods or my garden.

Unlike the orange-crowned warbler that can easily hide its orange crown, the golden-crowned kinglet's golden crown is always on full display. This golden-crowned kinglet is catching gnats and no-see-ums in the wooded grove that acts like a little oasis for migrating songbirds in the open prairie habitat around here. After spending the summer in Canada's vast boreal forest, these hardy golden-crowned kinglets sometimes winter right here in Winneshiek County since they can survive temperatures to -40 F even though they are barely bigger than a hummingbird.
Stilpnia vitriolina (Scrub Tanager / Tangara Rastrojera)
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends!
Today is a black & white day at Color My World Daily Group and since it is Sunday we celebrate heavily post-processed pictures at Sliders Sunday.
So here is my contribution to those awesome Groups. And if you ask yourself who is that tiny boy: it is my oldest son ages ago when he was sooo small and easily amused by balloons.
I will try to catch up as soon as possible with your comments and Photostreams but since I’m officially on vacation with my sons my activity on flickr will be rather slow for the next few days …I apologize for that !! Have a beautiful day my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
When you visit Skogafoss waterfall you can easily get overawed by it's sheer size, the power of the water and the deafening roar.
It's a beast of nature that measures 82ft across with a spectacular drop of over 200ft, it certainly gets your pulse racing the closer you get.
The pounding thud as the water hits the floor, the mist and spray and that sense of power was definitely something I wanted to somehow portray in my images.
I soon realised the only way to get that shot was to zoom in close to base of the waterfall and hope some mad fool would get close enough to give the image some scale.
Thankfully this kind gent made his move and headed for an instant soaking amongst the mist... what a legend!
Sethi isn't happy when Tofu follows him everywhere, especially if he is tired because he was active during the night and Tofu just wants to play. He shows his feelings clearly but Tofu doesn't give up easily. :)
A very busy summer schedule has kept me away from social media for a while, so it feels good to be able to post a new image again.
I came across this place completely by accident while trying to decide on a future international trip, and immediately knew that no matter where this place was located, I just had to photograph here. Now, this beautiful and unusual beach has instantly been added to my favorite places list. This is one of those locations I could easily photograph every day, for at least a month.
I will include all the details about this magical place in my next post.
