She was a mirror and I saw myself
more kindly. And she took me up.

I want to highlight the unfortunate situation of the elephants in Botswana at the moment...hundreds have been dying mysterious deaths and scientists, biologists and conservationists are all looking for the cause, to understand why this is occurring
please take a moment to watch the video I am sharing that was aired on one of our excellent research and investigative TV shows a few weeks ago..however there are scenes in here that may not be suitable for sensitive viewers!
Grünes Heupferd, weibl.
...und dann sprang mir noch dieses Prachtexemplar des Großen / Grünen Heupferds vor die Linse. Die Gesamtlänge dieses Monsters beträgt ca. 70mm!
Ich war wieder einmal sehr erstaunt, wie viele besondere Insekten man auf einer ungemähten Sommerwiese finden kann :-)
Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends!

I photographed this beautiful Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) on a recent day at Michigan's Kensington Metropark.
Crazy Tuesday: "Bokeh" theme

While we were watching it at least four more herons briefly flew into view. They then all flew around the point of land!

Questo maschio, un 15 punte e l'altro più distante, un 18 punte, se le sono date di santa ragione, (da notare le ferite lungo il fianco assalite dalle mosche), nella speranza vana che la femmina in calore, che si intravede sdraiata davanti a loro, cedesse alle loro lusinghe. Nascosto sotto un telo mimetico dopo 2 ore di cammino in montagna con il peso dello zaino fotografico sulle spalle. Foto no crop. Abruzzo - PNALM
Deer. This male, one 15 points and the other more distant, an 18 points, if they are given of right reason, (to notice the wounds along the side assaulted by the flies), in the vain hope that the female in heat, that can be glimpsed lying in front of them, she succumbed to their flattery. Hidden under a camouflage sheet after 2 hours of walking in the mountains with the weight of the photo backpack on the shoulders. No crop photos. Abruzzo - PNALM
Sometimes it is not so easy to see past rust. But the mystery here prevails. What is before us is sometimes superficial.

One of the Picture Taken During my Recent Trip in Taiwan :)
The Walls of Ávila in central Spain, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of Ávila's principal historic feature. The site was registered as a National Monument in 1884. In 1985, the old city of Ávila and its extramural churches were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Wikipedia.

The 1883 cemetery sits at the base of the Oquirrh Mountain range; its the second oldest cemetery in the Salt Lake Valley. The cemetery overlooks the Salt Lake Valley and the Great Salt Lake.
GPS is the exact spot of the photo.
Comments are off – just enjoy :-)
After an excellent week in Wells in Somerset we moved further South and West into Cornwall. It was a very different sort of week much less history and architecture but some splendid coastal walks . We were based in Carbis Bay near St Ives. When I booked the Carbis Bay cottage I had never heard of the place . However the G7 summit that was held there in June certainly put it on the map. Fortunately they had all long gone when we arrived . This is a shot from the beach at Carbis looking towards the town of St Ives which I guess is about two miles away
This was my first visit to Cornwall I have always been a little put off by its popularity and even in September there were too many people for my taste . The far west of Cornwall is about 420 miles from Hull the greatest distance we can travel in England from Hull . We are such a tiny country . Which is why I prefer France a much larger country with the same population and with a greater sense of space
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
I might be "pakonifying" you with these panos, but just cant help it. It was so very beautiful.
In this Pano, the light was not smooth enough, i could not correct it :(
On the Kokan Side there were this clouds, and we were standing on top of them.....amazing feeling, i will be uploading some more of these shots :D
Maxim thanks for the camera :)
A favorite bird of mine for its colors and for the distinct feather contours on the body.
Y'day sighted a good number of them on trees. And as we went closer they flew away everytime. I had to position myself strategically for this shot, while my friend who was exploring some butterflies nearby walked towards these birds unaware of their presence.
And I got a delightful shot - 3/4 shots actually before it disappeared behind some bushes. Next time should get even closer :)
The day was raining with brief interruptions in between, so the greens were quite saturated and made for excellent backdrop.
Am off tomorrow morning for a 4-day Rainy season birding trip in the jungles - Hope I get some luck!
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Ces filtres d'orient qui parfument le désert
Un mélange de fibres où l’or se mêle au vert
Comme dans un moule ou le miel blond et la semoule
Enferme des éclats d’amandes et de pistaches
Comme on voit le nombril des danseuses orientales
Qui dansent au son d’une musique instrumentale
Se mettre en mouvement pour vous faire chavirer
Cette tapisserie de brins tissés aux riches couleurs
De l’orient s’anime et fait chanter les vers
Comme un rideau de perles fines au bras du vent
