Never really taken any landscape pictures before. And not Winter scenes either. so quite happy with my first attemt :-)
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
There's a car park either side, but the smaller of the two on the right has been used as extra outdoor space.
The original pub on the site was a large detached house bought by the brewery chain in 1920. It had a Saloon bar one side and a Public bar the other. Between the two was a door leading to the bar which was used as an off-licence.
The present building was built on the site in the 1980s and given a refresh about a decade ago.
A group of bushy, late flowering, herbaceous perennials with narrow green leaves covered by clouds of daisy-like flowers; either singly or in sprays. The name of this useful late flowering plant is taken is from the Latin word meaning star - indicating the shape of its showy flower heads, borne in profusion from late summer onwards.
Grey Heron - Ardea Cinerea
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
The birds breed colonially in spring in "heronries", usually building their nests high in trees. A clutch of usually three to five bluish-green eggs is laid. Both birds incubate the eggs for a period of about 25 days, and then both feed the chicks, which fledge when seven or eight weeks old. Many juveniles do not survive their first winter, but if they do, they can expect to live for about five years.
In Ancient Egypt, the deity Bennu was depicted as a heron in New Kingdom artwork. In Ancient Rome, the heron was a bird of divination. Roast heron was once a specially-prized dish; when George Neville became Archbishop of York in 1465, four hundred herons were served to the guests.
The grey heron has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, and spoonbills, which extend their necks.
Fish, amphibians, small mammals and insects are taken in shallow water with the heron's long bill. It has also been observed catching and killing juvenile birds such as ducklings, and occasionally takes birds up to the size of a water rail. It may stand motionless in the shallows, or on a rock or sandbank beside the water, waiting for prey to come within striking distance. Alternatively, it moves slowly and stealthily through the water with its body less upright than when at rest and its neck curved in an "S". It is able to straighten its neck and strike with its bill very fast.
Small fish are swallowed head first, and larger prey and eels are carried to the shore where they are subdued by being beaten on the ground or stabbed by the bill. They are then swallowed, or have hunks of flesh torn off. For prey such as small mammals and birds or ducklings, the prey is held by the neck and either drowned, suffocated, or killed by having its neck snapped with the heron's beak, before being swallowed whole. The bird regurgitates pellets of indigestible material such as fur, bones and the chitinous remains of insects. The main periods of hunting are around dawn and dusk, but it is also active at other times of day. At night it roosts in trees or on cliffs, where it tends to be gregarious.

I toss out peanuts for the squirrels I guess this one thought it was gold since that was all it could find, either that or it’s break time.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

Merlin ist der Bruder von Gismo, beide sind jetzt 10 Wochen alt.
Leider hat ihre Mama sich überhaupt nicht mit meinen älteren Katzen vertragen.
Meine Schwester war aber so lieb und hat sich ihrer angenommen und da ich den Kleinen behalten habe, gab es auch keine Probleme mit ihren Katzen.
Allerdings konnte (oder wollte) die vorherige Person seinen Bruder nun doch nicht aufnehmen, so das ich ihn ebenfalls zu mir geholt habe. Die Wiedersehensfreude der beiden süßen Kerlchen treibt mir jetzt noch die Tränen in die Augen, so das es mir unmöglich ist, meine Entscheidung zu bereuen.
Merlin is Gismo's brother, both are now 10 weeks old.
Unfortunately, her mom didn't get along with my older cats at all.
But my sister was so kind and took care of her and since I kept the little one, there were no problems with her cats either.
However, the previous person couldn't (or didn't want to) take his brother in after all, so I brought him in too. The joy of seeing the two sweet guys again brings tears to my eyes, making it impossible for me to regret my decision.

Let the monarch mania begin. That is if I don't get end up being pulled away like I did last summer. This butterfly season is going to be extraordinary. I'm going to make sure of it.
Yes, monarch butterflies are in my area year-round but during the cooler months, there are only a couple flitting about at any given time. I don't raise them in the cooler months either.
Yesterday I noticed three monarchs, several skippers, and a couple of sulfurs enjoying the habitat. It was a lovely day to play in the yard. I was able to collect several monarch caterpillars and eggs to raise in protective custody.
Enjoy your day, happy snapping.
or you get something else--and whichever is better you print :-)

Rhea, either of two species of large, flightless birds in the family Rheidae, order Rheiformes. They are native to South America and are related to the ostrich and emu. The common rhea (Rhea americana) is found in open country from northeastern Brazil southward to Argentina, while Darwin’s rhea (Pterocnemia pennata) lives from Peru southward to Patagonia, at the tip of the continent. Both species are considerably smaller than the ostrich; the common rhea stands about 120 cm (4 feet) tall and weighs about 20 kg (50 pounds). The common rhea has brown or gray upper parts and whitish underparts, while Darwin’s rhea is somewhat smaller in size, and its brownish plumage is tipped with white.
Greater rheas are terrestrial, walking birds, using their long, strong legs to cover greater distances. Rheas only run during social activities, like impressing a potential mate, or when threatened. Greater rheas run in a zigzag pattern, using their wings and necks to steer them in different directions. During the non-breeding season, greater rheas forage diurnally, individually or in groups. While the rheas feed, they are vigilant. This vigilance decreases as group become larger, but a solitary rhea will spend more time in vigilance than feeding.
Vas'ka and Yashka always sit next to me at my desk after breakfast. Either they are watching what is happening outside the window, or they are simply dozing.
Happy Saturday!
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments! It's greatly appreciated.

Consensus is either red tailed hawk or red shouldered hawk.
It has been hanging out in our yard lately and has been killing our doves and quail. While it is a beautiful bird, I really would like to deter it from hurting our dove and quail families we have. Should I just let nature take its course or is there something I can do to make it leave our yard and go somewhere else?
He either had a rough night or he simply didn't want to be a photo model today but Sethi hardly opened his eyes when I pointed the camera at him. I suppose it was the latter because he miraculously sprang to life again when I opened a can of his favourite food ...
They're either greeting each other or are madly in love. The penguins are about the same size, so it can't be a mother feeding her chick. But maybe. Taken in a Colorado Nature Park enclosure.
CHALK GRASSLAND BUTTERFLIES.
These are either female Chalkhill Blues or Brown Argus, probably the former. It is hard to tell them apart when they are roosting, but both are around in August in the Chilterns. Can be found on south facing slopes along the Ridgeway in late summer

I found this bee on my butterfly bush... he was either dead or sleeping since he didn't move... but when I looked for him this morning, he was gone... so I'm guessing he was napping when I took this shot!
He either sleeps in this chair or watches the puppy. This is my chair, but while I was unwell and did not use it, Vas'ka took a fancy to it and now does not want to give in

The city of Zurich, a global center for banking and finance, lies at the north end of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland. The picturesque lanes of the central Altstadt (Old Town), on either side of the Limmat River, reflect its pre-medieval history. Waterfront promenades like the Limmatquai follow the river toward the 17th-century Rathaus (town hall).
Note: the town hall are those two tall buildings on the right
The Naiads were either daughters of Zeus or Oceanus. If a naiad's waters dried up, she would die.
The Naiads were often objects of local cults, which they worshiped as goddesses of fertility. Their waters were sometimes attributed a magical healing effect or prophetic powers. The Naiads were also known for their extreme jealousy. According to a story by Theokritos, the shepherd Daphnis was the lover of the naiad Nomia. Since Daphnis was unfaithful to her a number of times, she punished him with blindness in revenge.

In these freezing temperatures, I once again tried to freeze soap bubbles. Unfortunately, they did not turn out as I had hoped. Either they froze too quickly or too slowly. I constantly had to change batteries and had icy cold fingers. It wasn't really windless either. When some of the bubble liquid ran over my remote trigger and started to freeze, I gave up.
Bei diesem eisigen Temperaturen habe ich wieder mal versucht, Seifenblasen gefrieren zu lassen. Leider sind sie nicht so geworden wie ich es mir erhofft hatte. Entweder sind sie zu schnell gefroren oder zu langsam. Ständig musste ich Akkus und Batterien wechseln und hatte dann auch noch eisig kalte Finger. Richtig windstill war es auch nicht. Als dann auch noch ein Teil der Seifenblasen Flüssigkeit über meinen Fernauslöser lief und anfing zu gefrieren, habe ich aufgegeben.
You may recognise this building, either from one I published 4 or 5 months back or perhaps from another London photographer's image of it. It's a beautiful piece of architecture called "1 Blackfriars" and was only completed two years ago. It sits on the south side of the Thames, virtually at the foot of Blackfriars Bridge. Here I've taken the liberty of adding a bit of extra space into this already 'bulging' structure by shooting it side by side with its own reflection, provided here by the glass walls of the rear part of the Tate Modern museum (taken from the outdoor patio in the newly relocated Tate members room).
If you are wondering why I refer to this building as a 'bulging' structure please see my image of the same building from another perspective where the bulge is rather more apparent!

The Château in Autumn!
I just, ADORE❤️ !!! I adore the -- especially enchanting and colourful-- Autumn Glory of this magnificent, vast land, either rich woodland, or enchanting greenfields, or soft streaming waters, or ponds!! Where happy humans and animals live in harmony, and stroll, and relax, and appraise and respect the Beauty of Nature! Where the Autumn colours perform Nature Works of High Artistic Quality ! Divine Art, I could say….
❤️The Château de la Hulpe , in the heart of Wallonia in Belgium , is NOT just a huge wonderland around its Castle!! But a rare treasure offered to its people , who are free to enter any time in it , and worship Nature and Creation, as an Open Cathedral that it is!!
Maybe I wasn't listening,
Or maybe you weren't saying anything important.
Either way.
I don't hear you.
A colourful Heron that is easily distinguishable from the others due to its slender body and darker colour. A very shy bird, it favours densely vegetated habitats like reed beds where it hunts for a range of prey including fish, rodents, frogs and insects, either stalking them or standing waiting in ambush.
Snowberry clearwing moths are master mimics. They can either look like a big bumble bee or a feeding hummingbird with their hovering style. Look at the length of that tongue!
The tawny owl, also called the brown owl, is commonly found in woodlands across Europe to western Siberia, and has seven recognized subspecies. It is a stocky, medium-sized owl, whose underparts are pale with dark streaks, and whose upper body may be either brown or grey.Hooting woodland hunter with silent wings. Without a sound, the tawny owl descends from its lofty perch to snatch unsuspecting rodents from the forest floor below.
Glass cut flower holder with some zany lighting. The object itself is a slightly drab slightly funeral thing so my flashlights and colour intrusion are either an abomination or an inspiration. I’m m kinda happy with this however as a macro subject it may be a bit too abstracted.
Either we are missing a tree or this fir sapling has decided to grow a different way to the rest! An exploratory fir limb rises from a bed of ferns at Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire. I do love this area in the mist, as you may have noticed :-)
I see this frequently anymore, unused train cars parked on train tracks that aren't used anymore either. The photo was taken just after sunrise between Mitchellville and Altoona, Iowa.
