This lake is like every Photographer’s dream, especially early in the morning, when the sun just starts to rise, and the ground worms up. It is located on Icefields, north of Lake Louise, along highway 83, in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. That day was quite cool in the morning, and the light wind did not created any ripples on the surface of water. Enjoy the full beauty of magnificent Vermilion Lakes.

Upper Barrakka Gardens
Valletta Malta
Named the Upper Barrakka and the Lower Barrakka, both gardens offer a stunning view of the Grand Harbour.
The Upper Barrakka garden, especially, is a must. Built on top of a demi-bastion, both locals and foreigners relish spending hours taking in the sights. A number of statues and monuments adorn the gardens, including one dedicated to Winston Churchill.
Berlin und die Spree, hier lassen sich überall so schöne Panorama Aufnahmen machen.

Formerly killed in huge numbers for their fur, especially during the 1920s and ’30s, koalas dwindled in number from several million to a few hundred thousand. In the southern part of their range, they became practically extinct except for a single population in Gippsland, Victoria in Australia. Some were translocated onto small offshore islands, especially Phillip Island, where they did so well that these koalas were used to restock much of the original range in Victoria and southern New South Wales, Australia.
Amazing especially since we had contemplated sitting amongst the driftwood instead of on the now exposed expanse of pebble beach facing the out-going tide! If I had not stood up to take a pano view of the mountains, ocean (fjord), beach and driftwood behind us, I would have missed it. Yes, timing is everything in photography.
The lesser scaup is a small North American diving duck that migrates south as far as Central America in winter. It is colloquially known as the little bluebill or broadbill because of its distinctive blue bill.
Diet includes mollusks, plant material. Diet varies with season and habitat, but animal matter may predominate, especially mollusks such as clams and snails, also aquatic insects, crustaceans. Also eats plant material such as stems and leaves of sea lettuce, pondweeds, wild celery, plus seeds of pondweeds, sedges, grasses, and others.
Nazca in Peru, no, the Palouse in autumn, viewing the Palouse fields, especially from a vantage point like Steptoe Butte is a fascinating experience and a paradise for photographers,
just sitting up there, taking your time, avoiding the rush, absorbing the beauty and trying to bring back a memoir of it in a photograph.
Was this shadow of a black cat intentionally done by a humourist Palousian or by a mere coincidence while plowing the fields, well I’ll never know.
Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
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 common resident Owlet found in the forest areas in the country. They can be often heard in the forests calling especially mornings and evenings, but they are active throughout the day. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.
That morning, we heard constant calls of these Owlets - 3 - 4 of them at the same time and sighted 2 of them. That brought out Bulbuls, babblers, Drongoes, Rose Ringed Parakeets and few other birds all of which searched for the Owlets and chased them away from several trees. The Owlets moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they did it with such stealth that 3 of us didn't see them coming or going.
This is nearing end of Spring here, but there were still several bare trees that the owlets could find some space on. The trees with canopy and fruit support several nesting birds and the summer breeding season is starting - no wonder the Owlets are so unwelcome.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Competition is fierce for the female. Especially with another male sitting right next to him. We sighted two of them on farm posts singing close to the country road much to our delight.
This is the peak of their breeding season and the calls are everywhere in the countryside. Hoarse two noted calls that permeate long distances. The females are very quiet, hard to sight and I believe judge the male by the quality of their singing. I cannot tell the difference between the calls though.
This bird is a photographers favorite and I am quite lucky to get such a good close up shot. They are extremely shy and disappear into the bush / fields when they see anyone very far.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

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."

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is bottles. Which is awesome, since we all know by now, how much I love bottles and their contents… especially if it is gin. Today, however, I have a miniature bottle of Absolut Vodka next to a real glass bottle (just in case if the miniature bottles aren’t allowed…) whispering secrets to each other. And that is what I will call this picture: bottles complicity.
Today is my last day of work and then I will be off until the next year. I love the sound of that !! Isn’t that awesome ? I suggest we open a bottle to celebrate the beginning of my holidays ;-). Unfortunately, everybody else in my family is either at work or at school or in Cuba (drinking rum and sunbathing like there is no tomorrow !!). So the only thing left for me will be to get some of that Christmas spirit and prepare Christmas celebrations while I babysit my parents house until they come back from Cuba. But first, I will have to work until 5pm today !
Until then, see you later ! And have beautiful day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
FYI: my tiny bottle is about 2cm high.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
with this red rose in a vase
for all creatures and our wonderful planet
and especially for all of you, who also celebrate your Birthday on the 15th of October ;-))

I want to thank my new sponsors for the opportunity to display their great items. hugs!!
solitary road along Snaefellsnes peninsula in wintery Iceland. This journey is unforgettable, especially in winter. We did it twice, once in summer and once in winter and I found the winter journey even more impressive along this mountain range that forms the backbone of the long-stretched Snaefellsnes peninsula culminating in Snaefellsjokull volcano at the tip of it.
Especially during the night you can hear cats 'sing', defending their territory, sometimes they even fight….
I used very thin paper, because there are lots of layers. The eyes came out a bite rumbled, looks like scarves from the 'fight'. Don't know who is the winner here…..;-))
Hope you still like them and a happy Thursday!

Le rouge gorge est un oiseau solitaire et très territorial. En effet, chaque individu vit seul, et son chant pourtant si mélodieux, fait office d'avertissement pour ses congénères. Sa toison rouge est également utilisée comme un signal d'avertissement, pour impressionner et s'emparer d'un territoire, ou pour défendre le sien.
Ce côté territorial est présent été comme hiver. Lorsque deux rouges-gorges entrent en conflit, ils paradent en bombant leur plastron rouge, sifflent de manière très puissante, puis se battent, malheureusement parfois jusqu'à la mort.
Si à nos yeux le rouge-gorge est un petit oiseau mignon et inoffensif, il est en fait très agressif avec ses congénères. Il s'agit même du passériforme le plus agressif.
Il est cependant très peu craintif de l'homme, et il n'est pas rare d'en voir faire leur nid dans des granges ou des cabanes, surtout en hiver.
Il est également courant de pouvoir observer des rouges-gorges se poser juste à coté de quelqu'un qui jardine par exemple. Même s'il ne se laissera pas toucher, il ne ressent aucune crainte d'être à proximité d'humains. Pour ces petits passériformes, on remarque donc dans leur comportement que l'homme ne représente aucune réelle menace.

The robin is a solitary and very territorial bird. Indeed, each individual lives alone, and his song, however melodious, serves as a warning for his fellows. His red fleece is also used as a warning signal, to impress and seize territory, or to defend his own.
This territorial side is present summer and winter. When two robins come into conflict, they parade by bulging their red breastplates, whistle very powerfully, then fight, unfortunately sometimes until death.
If in our eyes the robin is a cute and harmless little bird, it is in fact very aggressive with its congeners. It is even the most aggressive passériforme.
However, it is not very fearful of humans, and it is not uncommon to see them nesting in barns or huts, especially in winter.
It is also common to be able to observe robins landing right next to someone who gardens for example. Even if he will not let himself be touched, he has no fear of being near humans. For these little passeriformes, we therefore notice in their behavior that man poses no real threat.
Image taken from the lookout tent and in a natural environment.
PS: A big thank you to all those who choose to look at, comment on and like my photos. It is much appreciated, as you have noticed, I no longer respond directly to your comment just to say in fact "thank you and have a good day", but in return I will leave a small trace with you on one or more of your editions.

Especially interesting for me is the jet flying toward the rapidly setting sun over the Pacific Ocean.
The sky lights up looking "through&out" a small passage during sunrise at Leo Carillo Beach.
Taken during a quick run up at Leo Carillo Beach in Malibu. After arriving just before dawn, Bill & I scouted around the perimeter for interesting subject matter. After discovering the arch there, I didn't think it could get any better, but I was in for a real treat. Bill was shooting lower on the reef as I shot from above, then he moved off to the right and disappeared from my view, I moved my tripod lower on the reef and Bill was gone. I became slightly alarmed and moved to investigated his demise, Hehe, As I traversed the reef to the north I found him shooting a small cove so I picked up my tripod to join him and when I looked up he was gone again, I climbed down onto the beach of this small cove and found that there was a passage across to the beach on the south where the arch is. I couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of this place before especially with a small cove, a cave, and an arch, it was the trifecta of photography bliss and there wasn't another person there, see it was a real treat.
Happy Easter, One and all, I wish you peace and prosperity this Easter Sunday.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend ahead my friends!! :)

Eastern Gray Squirrel.
Between 17 to 19 3/4 inches long. Gray above with buff underfur showing especially on the head, shoulders, back and feet. Flattened bushy tail whch is gray with silvery tipped hairs.
In Canada, some have rufous bellies and tails. Black phase common in northern parts of their range.
Their habitat is hardwood or mixed forests with nut trees, especially oak-hickroy forests.
They range from the eastern U.S. east of south Manitoba, east North Dakota, most of Iowa, east Kansas, east Oklahoma and east Texas.

If you are traveling in Tuscany, especially here in Val D'orcia, you will quickly see what your biggest problem is. It's to decide what you don't want to photograph.
So far we've focused on a few particularly spectacular locations at particular times of the day (sunrise and sunset) where it's hard to avoid the results being extraordinarily beautiful.
But when you're on your way to such places and just want to get from A to B, you're driving through a landscape that really keeps calling out to you: "Stop !! Take pictures !!!"
Then it's the middle of the day and you come across a view like this, for example.
You just can't get ahead because you keep stopping, walking back and HAD to take a picture.
I chose two of these "snapshots" for today and tomorrow (which was the next challenge) to make this clear to you.
Oh yes ... sometimes it's not easy :-)
Wenn Ihr in der Toskana unterwegs seid, vor allem hier im Val D'orcia werdet Ihr sehr schnell erkennen, was Euer größtes Problem ist. Es ist die Entscheidung was Ihr nicht fotografieren wollt.
Bisher haben wir uns auf wenige besonders spektakuläre Orte zu besonderen Tageszeiten (Sonnenaufgang und-untergang) konzentriert, wo es kaum zu verhindern ist, dass die Ergebnisse außergewöhnlich schön sind.
Doch wenn Ihr dann unterwegs zu solchen Orten seid und einfach nur von A nach B wollt, dann fahrt Ihr durch eine Landschaft die Euch wirklich ununterbrochen zuruft: " Anhalten !! Fotografieren !!!"
Dann ist es mitten am Tag und Ihr kommt zum Beispiel an so einem Ausblick vorbei.
Da kommt man einfach nicht voran, weil man ständig anhält, zurückläuft und ein Foto machen MUSS.
Zwei von diesen "Schnappschüssen" habe ich für Heute und für Morgen ausgesucht (was gleich die nächste Herausforderung war) um Euch dies zu verdeutlichen.
Ach ja ... man hat's schon manchmal nicht leicht :-)
more of this on my website at: www.shoot-to-catch.de
Off the water and back to the woods to soak up some of the remaining color which is holding fairly well, especially given the strong winds we've had the last few days. I went out specifically to take a bunch of photos to upload into my "new friend," with the single and not unrealistic (I thought) hope of being able to find them...which I did, but not until after numerous wrong guesses as to where I thought they seemingly should be...like "Pictures."
By the way, I appreciate your support and tips re: my new desk top (not a laptop as some seem to have guessed), and it progresses slowly. I really don't use a computer for much other than my photos so I haven't even begun to tap the capabilities of this one...and am uncertain as to whether I will even try or not. What I would like to find is the 90% of my photos which did not appear with the others when I transferred them from the flash drive to the new computer. 10% are in fancy new folders...the rest unpleasantly invisible. Everything sees very hit and miss...mostly miss for now causing me to simply walk away from the computer and find other occupations. My learning curve and patience have both suffered with old age.
[Larger puts you on the path]
I regret that despite many attempts I did not make any beautiful pictures with lavender. I think you should see her for yourself one day....
Seriously, do not ever tell anyone that they eat like a bird...that would be extremely rude. These birds, as well as the chickadees, Flickers, house finches (just to name a few) eat all day, especially in the winter. It's very important for them to store fat in order to survive the freezing temperatures. Never realized I would be buying so many peanuts, birdseed and suet cakes!
On our way through the woodlands before Sugar Loaf Hill, we found a great many sessile oaks with immense levels of character.
I enjoy trying to find balance within the frame, especially when the subject is not perfectly symmetrical. I probably took the shot a dozen times, trying to move the sun around the branches as it set behind the slope beyond. I used f11 on the XF 16 1.4 as it was the best compromise for front to back sharpness, and the resulting sunstar. Certain media has had an influence on both the composition and the colouring of this shot. I softened the highlights, introduced a golden tint to both shadows and highlights, and raised the blacks to soften the contrast a little. Using a gradient I decided to really push the exposure in the upper half of the image to maximise the fantasy inspiration (Elden Ring).
HMM... the macromonday theme for 12/14 is high key. i acquired a set of vintage angels which went to my BBF who has a collection of them, especially on her tree. before they were gifted to her though, i took pictures of them. will put an establishing shot in the first comment box but she is about 2 and a half inches (6cm) tall
I loooove autumn (especially the spooky season) and I am so glad that Kirby took this picture with me ♡♡ hopefully there will be more in the future :*♡

Especially effective You can visit that at this place, the Rhein Falls from Schaffhausen. On average 373 cubic meters of water are falling down the rocks per second. On the maximum in 1965 it were 1250 cubic meters per second. That makes that waterfall to one of the three largest in europe.
Dies kann man besonders eindrucksvoll an diesem Ort miterleben, den Rheinfällen bei Schaffhausen. Im Durchschnit stürzen hier 373 Kubikmeter Wasser den Fels hinunter. Maximal waren es 1965 sogar 1250 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde. Damit ist dieser Wasserfall einer der drei größten in Europa.

Buchen (Fagus)
Die Buchen (Fagus) sind die einzige Pflanzengattung der Unterfamilie der Fagoideae innerhalb der Familie der Buchengewächse (Fagaceae). Die etwa elf Arten besitzen eine weite Verbreitung in den gemäßigten Gebieten der Nordhalbkugel in Nordamerika und Eurasien.
Beschreibung
Buchen-Arten sind sommergrüne Bäume, die Wuchshöhen von bis zu 40 Metern erreichen. Ihre Rinde ist grau und glatt und zeigt nur selten im Alter eine geringe Borkenbildung, sie gehört daher zu den Peridermbäumen. Die dünn und hin- und hergebogenen Zweige besitzen eine braune Rinde. Die 1 bis 3 Zentimeter langen Knospen sind lang spindelförmig, oft spreizend, von brauner Farbe, mit zahlreichen Knospenschuppen bedeckt und silbrig behaart.
Die Laubblätter stehen wechselständig, an aufrechten Zweigen schraubig, an abstehenden sind sie mehr oder weniger zweizeilig angeordnet. Die Laubblätter sind in Blattstiel und Blattspreite gegliedert. Die Blattspreite ist glänzend grün, ganzrandig, leicht buchtig gezähnt, wellig gebuchtet oder fein gezähnt. Die Nebenblätter sind schmal und hinfällig.
Beech (Fagus)
Beech (Fagus) is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. Recent classifications recognize 10 to 13 species in two distinct subgenera, Engleriana and Fagus. The Engleriana subgenus is found only in East Asia, distinctive for their low branches, often made up of several major trunks with yellowish bark. The better known Fagus subgenus beeches are high-branching with tall, stout trunks and smooth silver-grey bark. The European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the most commonly cultivated.
Beeches are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The small flowers are unisexual, the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins. They are produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The fruit of the beech tree, known as beechnuts or mast, is found in small burrs that drop from the tree in autumn. They are small, roughly triangular and edible, with a bitter, astringent, or in some cases, mild and nut-like taste. They have a high enough fat content that they can be pressed for edible oil.
The European species Fagus sylvatica yields a utility timber that is tough but dimensionally unstable. It is widely used for furniture framing and carcase construction, flooring and engineering purposes, in plywood and in household items like plates, but rarely as a decorative wood. The timber can be used to build chalets, houses, and log cabins.
Beech wood also makes excellent firewood, easily split and burning for many hours with bright but calm flames. Slats of washed beech wood are spread around the bottom of fermentation tanks for Budweiser beer. Beech logs are burned to dry the malt used in some German smoked beers, giving the beers their typical flavor. Beech is also used to smoke Westphalian ham, various sausages, and some cheeses.
A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus. The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called sakura. They are widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mainland China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand and West Siberia. Along with the chrysanthemum, the cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms (sakura); well over 200 cultivars can be found there. All varieties of cherry blossom trees produce small, unpalatable fruit or edible cherries. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus. 17258

SE AGRADECE A FLICKR POR EXPLORE....MUCHAS GRACIAS ;)
It was a bit difficult to drag myself up in the early morning, especially during the trip. But I did not want to miss any morning lights in a totally strange place. Here is another photo at the same morning as posted last one. The colors of sky and clouds changed rapidly in the early morning. The wind is omnipresent in the Magdalen Islands. Strong sea breezes have always been a part of the lives of their inhabitants.
A BIT OF HISTORY:
In 1534, Jacques Cartier was the first European to set foot on the islands, although the Mi'kmaqs had been going there for hundreds of years to hunt walrus. The archipelago was named in 1663 by François Doublet, then owner of the territory, in homage to his wife, Madeleine Fontaine. In 1765, the islands were inhabited by about twenty French-speaking Acadians and their families. Many of the Magdalen Islanders still fly the Acadian flag today.
The Magdalen Islands (also known as Les Îles de la Madeleine) are a relatively unknown destination in Canada but may well be one of the most breathtaking and surreal landscapes you can visit in the country. The small Quebec archipelago in the Gulf of the Saint Lawrence is so awe-inspiring that National Geographic just added the locale to its 25 Best Trips to Take in 2020.
Happy Friday and weekend my dear Flick friends! :))
