Just because it's Halloween and make you smile !
I change the small photo and instead of my beloved Puffins I put a photo of me and another one of an Arctic Tern. Both apparently have nothing to do with each other. Except that it is ! On my face the blood is real blood, most had been wiped off by the friend who took the photo. This one was taken on the Isle of May in July 2019. You should know that these Terns nest along the footpath that starts at the pier. These birds, to protect their nests, attack with their beaks the top of the visitor's heads who pass in the path.
They first target the tallest people in a group. This is the reason why it is recommended to wear a hat. For my Scottish and English Flickr's friends who know these Isles (not only on the May), I precise that I did wear a hat. It was my third visit to the Isle of May and since the first time I wore a hat !
It was time to join the boat to return to Anstruther but I noticed two or three visitors behind me so I told to myself I had enough time for a few more shots. Being alone in front of this bird I was the tallest and the other Terns had a great time on my head. As the head was busy, one of them attacked me UNDER the hat !! So, if I have an advice : next time go with a full face helmet 😉
For my readers from the U.K. please let me know if I wrote something wrong 😊

Juste parce que c'est Halloween et pour vous faire sourire !
J'ai changé la photo du médaillon et, a la place de mes Macareux moine bien aimés, j'ai mis une photo de moi et une photo de Sterne Arctique dans mes images. Apparemment, ces deux photos n'ont rien a voir ensemble. Sauf que si ! Sur mon visage, c'est du vrai sang, la plus grande partie qui recouvrait ma joue ayant été essuyée par l'amie qui a pris la photo. Celle-çi a été prise sur l'Ile de May, en juillet 2019. Ces Sternes nichent en bordure du sentier piéton qui part de l'embarcadère. Ces oiseaux, pour protéger leur nids, piquent le sommet des têtes des visiteurs. Ces Sternes visent en premier les personnes les plus grandes du groupe. C'est la raison pour laquelle il est fortement recommandé de porter un couvre-chef. Pour mes amis Flickr Ecossais et Anglais qui connaisent ces iles (pas seulement sur l'Ile de May d'ailleurs), je précise que je portais un chapeau. C'était ma troisième visite sur cette île et depuis la première fois j'ai toujours porté un chapeau !
Le moment était venu de rejoindre le bateau mais comme j'avais remarqué deux ou trois personnes qui traînaient derrière moi, je me suis dit que j'avais suffisamment de temps pour quelques photos supplémentaires. Etant seule devant cet oiseau, je me suis retrouvée être la plus grande et les autres Sternes s'en sont donné à coeur joie sur ma tête ! Comme cette dernière était occupée, l'une d'elles m'a piqué SOUS mon chapeau ! Aussi, si j'ai un conseil : la prochaine fois, y aller avec un casque intégral 😉
This photo was taken from the boat tour to Spirit Island ( few photos back )...as mentioned there too, you aren't able to hike to the island, so the only way is by tour boat, canoe or kayak! ... seeing these 2 in a canoe, looked so peaceful against this magnificent mountain background. There is barely anyone around except the tour boats that go by...so you must really feel alone at one with nature..and I think this photo really shows how small we are in this world.
one day I would love to try the canoe to Spirit Island. It only takes half a day to get there!!:), I think I read 4-6 hours each way depending on your experience, as such need to plan ahead and start really early! however bathroom break on way = possible wildlife encounter !! lol....
have a great day!☀️💛
When it originally opened in 1914, the Power Station was one of the most advanced power centers in all of Europe, however it will likely be better remembered for its ornate Art Deco architecture than its technological wonder. Parts are still used, except the old transformer buildings and the Art Deco control room.

Autumn in Argentinian Patagonia, along the long walk to Laguna Torre, with the iconic peak of Cerro Torre in the background. Unlike Europe, Asia or North America, the native trees only turn red, no yellows or oranges in Patagonia except for imported species, which don't exist in protected national parks.
One of 5 varieties of minivets in the forest we visited and a lifer!. Not the rarest, but definitely quite an uncommon one. It looks similar to the common Scarlet Minivet, but has a rosy frontside due to which it derives that name.
Similar behaviour as that of the other minivets except that it prefers small groups, usually 2 where both the male and female forage together. It is also a high canopy bird and prefers to come out to the open at the top!
ebird doesn't list the forest we visited as a native range of this bird, but since we sighted it during the non-migratory season, assume its resident there. The last trip we even sighted it nesting.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
Togakushi mountains except for the southern part taken from a roadside near the Torii gate of Okusha. Three photos were merged to get this image.
Togakushi-yama (戸隠山), Kuzuryuu-yama (九頭龍山) and Takatsuma-yama (高妻山) from left to right are seen across the sanctuary forest of Togakushi Okusha.
It is rare to see such a blue sky in this area in winter.
The dragon usually symbolises the river in Japan and other Asian countries that depend on rice cultivation.
Legend has it that Kuzuryuu or Nine-headed Dragon used to be a fierce god but was penanced by a Buddhist/Shintou priest to become a god of fertility and agriculture. The legend implies a process of flood control and irrigation. Nine heads are an analogy of tributaries of a river.
Except for the problem in its foot, the bird seemed to be ok.
I hope the ID is correct.

Paysage des Vosges du Nord.- Assemblage de 3 photos
Entre plateau lorrain et la plaine d'Alsace, le Parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord est un territoire forestier d'exception. Dans les Vosges du Nord, la forêt s'empare de la montagne. Dissimulées dans les bois, châteaux forêts et villages pittoresques veillent sur la nature. Les Basses Vosges gréseuses communément appelées "Vosges du Nord se situent au nord du seuil de Saverne et se poursuivent au-delà de la frontière allemande par la forêt palatine avec laquelle elles forment la réserve biosphère transfrontalière des Vosges du Nord-Pfälzerwald

The Pearl Crescent is a butterfly of North America. It is found in all parts of the United States except the west coast, and throughout Mexico and parts of southern Canada, in particular Ontario. Its habitat is open areas such as pastures, road edges, vacant lots, fields, open pine woods. Its pattern is quite variable. Males usually have black antenna knobs. Its upperside is orange with black borders; postmedian and submarginal areas are crossed by fine black marks. The underside of the hindwing has a dark marginal patch containing a light-colored crescent.
The wingspan is from 21 to 34 mm. The species has several broods throughout the year, from April–November in the north, and throughout the year in the deep south and Mexico.
Adults find nectar from a great variety of flowers including dogbane, swamp milkweed, shepherd's needle, asters, and winter cress. (Wikipedia)

Rothirsch (Cervus elaphus) - Deer
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothirsch
Der Rothirsch (Cervus elaphus), jägersprachlich Rotwild und seltener auch Edelhirsch genannt, ist eine Art der Echten Hirsche. Unter den Hirscharten zeichnet sich der Rothirsch durch ein besonders großes und weitverzweigtes Geweih aus. Dieses als Jagdtrophäe begehrte Geweih wird nur von männlichen Tieren entwickelt. Die weiblichen Tiere (Alttiere) entwickeln kein Geweih und werden daher als Kahlwild bezeichnet. Im mitteleuropäischen Raum ist der Rothirsch eines der größten freilebenden Wildtiere. Er kommt hier fast nur noch in Waldbiotopen vor. Ursprünglich handelt es sich beim Rothirsch jedoch um eine Tierart offener und halboffener Landschaften.
Rothirsche sind in mehreren Unterarten in Eurasien verbreitet. Die nordamerikanischen Wapiti wurden lange als Unterart des Rothirsches eingeordnet, werden heute aber zusammen mit ostasiatischen Rothirschen als eigenständige Art geführt.
Beschreibung
Der Rothirsch ist eine der größeren Hirscharten, wobei es zwischen den Unterarten teilweise erhebliche Unterschiede bezüglich der Körpergröße gibt. Besonders kleinwüchsige Hirsche leben auf Sardinien und Korsika. Sie erreichen dort nur ein Gewicht bis zu 80 Kilogramm.[5] Ausgewachsene Männchen sind in der Regel um 10 bis 15 Prozent größer und schwerer als ausgewachsene weibliche Rothirsche (Hirschkühe).[6]
Erhebliche Größen- und Gewichtsunterschiede gibt es bereits innerhalb der in Mitteleuropa verbreiteten Unterarten. Bei männlichen Tieren schwankt hier die Kopf-Rumpf-Länge zwischen 180 und 210 Zentimeter. Im Harz, Reinhardswald und der Region Westfalen geschossene, zehnjährige Hirsche wogen durchschnittlich zwischen 100 und 113 Kilogramm.[7] Im Wallis dagegen wogen gleichaltrige Hirsche 148 Kilogramm und im Gebiet um Hohenbucko, Brandenburg geschossene Hirsche 168 Kilogramm.[8] Rothirsche unterliegen allerdings bereits im Jahresverlauf beträchtlichen Gewichtsunterschieden: Männliche Hirsche erreichen ihr jährliches Gewichtsmaximum in der Regel kurz vor der Brunft und verlieren dann während der Brunft bis zu 25 Prozent ihres Körpergewichts.[9] Zu den Größen- und Gewichtsunterschieden zwischen einzelnen Populationen derselben Unterart tragen unterschiedliche Ernährungsbedingungen und Klimaeinflüsse bei. Grundsätzlich nehmen Körpergröße und Körpergewicht der Rothirsche von West- und Nordwesteuropa mit ozeanischem Klima in Richtung Ost- und Südosteuropa mit kontinentalem Klima zu. Diese Größenunterschiede entsprechen der Bergmannschen Regel, die besagt, dass warmblütige Tiere einer Art in kälterem Klima durchschnittlich größer sind.
Deer (Cervus elaphus)
Deer (singular and plural) are the hoofed ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups of deer are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the elk (wapiti), the fallow deer, and the chital; and the Capreolinae, including the reindeer (caribou), the roe deer, and the moose. Female reindeer, and male deer of all species except the Chinese water deer, grow and shed new antlers each year. In this they differ from permanently horned antelope, which are part of a different family (Bovidae) within the same order of even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla).
The musk deer (Moschidae) of Asia and chevrotains (Tragulidae) of tropical African and Asian forests are separate families within the ruminant clade (Ruminantia). They are no more closely related to deer than are other even-toed ungulates.
Deer appear in art from Paleolithic cave paintings onwards, and they have played a role in mythology, religion, and literature throughout history, as well as in heraldry. Their economic importance includes the use of their meat as venison, their skins as soft, strong buckskin, and their antlers as handles for knives. Deer hunting has been a popular activity since at least the Middle Ages and remains a resource for many families today.
Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Latin and means broad, referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera. All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. The spoonbills are most distinct from the ibises in the shape of their bill, which is long and flat and wider at the end. The nostrils are located near the base of the bill so that the bird can breathe while the bill is submerged in water. The eyes are positioned to provide spoonbills with binocular vision, although when foraging tactile senses are important too. Like the ibises the spoonbills have bare patches of skin around the bills and eyes. The six species of spoonbill are distributed over much of the world.
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 48963
Rainy Day At The Waterfront
A balmy December day; except for the occasional rain, was the perfect day for a walk..
Karen and I grabbed our gear and umbrellas and made our way to Lake Ontario to Jack Darling Memorial Park.
We wanted to take this opportunity to wish all our Flickr friends a very happy new year and to extend our best wishes for you all for 2023.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Except this was taken in our sunny south facing garden. We are waiting for a gardener to remove them as they are spreading and our efforts to remove them have failed.
Ignoring lockdown and global pandemics, it should actually be quite easy to capture sunrise almost every morning during winter months. Except, it is freezing and really hard to leave the comfort of your warm bed. However, once the clocks turn back in March (Spring), there is a small window of time when it is still possible to get to London early enough (using public transport) to capture the sunrise. That time is now. And I finally managed to get up early enough to do it (4.30am). And it is worth it. Every time. Even if there isn't a dramatic pink sunrise (like this morning), the calmness, the beauty, the early morning bird songs... It is all gorgeous. It has been so long since i have done this - I had forgotten how rewarding it can be. So much, not even the cold of winter is an excuse... just dress accordingly.
I hope you are keeping safe and warm wherever you are.

Beaches of the Central Coast #36 of #49.
Dragged myself out of bed at 430am this morning for a sunrise at Pebbly Beach. I use an app called Alpenglow which gives a simplified forecast for sunsets and sunrises at any given location. It just rates them graphically as poor, fair, good, great etc. It told me todays would be great. Alpenglow you owe me 3 hours sleep!! It was very cloudy and overcast pretty much the whole time, except this small moment when the sun came flooding through a break in the clouds and bathed the sand in gold. Made it the rip worth it. Well, it was worth it anyway, any sunrise is good no matter what the weather, and any beach is good , any time :)
Have a great weekend !
Like many of us I expect, except for the victims of the flooding in the UK .. My heart goes out to them all - especially for those shielding in the ongoing pandemic. I hope and pray for all those affected by the flooding and I hope the waters will recede quickly.
I am behind because of a problem that has something to do with my PC/Camera/ Card reader/ Sd card... We still have no idea. I uploaded/downloaded whichever - my camera card via my usual method but instead of just uploading the photos on the SD card from my Sony camera it picked up over a thousand photos from my main hard drive and copied those plus the taken photos to my PC and it wasn't apparent where. It took ages to find they had attached to a 2005 folder. Totally bewildering. Of course Jonathan said I must have done something different which did not go down well with me .I had done nothing different and have left date downloaded with no folder name as a default setting in Bridge for almost two years now. I formatted the card took a couple of photos put it in the reader - still said uploading 1229 photos. Tried a new spare card- same thing. Spare reader same thing - I have spares for almost everything btw lol...After two days of this last night we got as far as the camera appearing to show 1/6 photos when I had only taken one photo.. On uploading the other five files appeared just as file extensions and don't appear to stop the camera taking photos ok. Unfortunately both Jonathan and I feel sort of 'brain tired ' it was a very draining experience. Maybe my son could have sorted it in a trice but as he is still working I hesitated to ask and something tells me it was camera orientated..
I realise this is nowhere near as big a problem as some are experiencing but a conundrum I have never encountered before..

In the background behind the pigeon is the bridge that leads to the Esquimalt Lagoon. I think the outline of the bridge can be recognized by those familiar with the Lagoon. I can't remember the circumstances of this shot. except that I was practicing flight shots. Pigeons are good practice :) So I feel the bokeh is a bit different than usual but can't tell why... but I like the effect anyway!
except you would miss out on all the love a real one provides...
Found this little guy at Hicks Nursery...
Red-Bellied Woodpecker (female).
10 inches in length. Barred black and white above, pale buff below and on face. Sexes similar except that male has red crown and nape while female has red nape only. Reddish patch on lower abdomen seldom visible in the field.
Its habitat includes open and swampy woodlands. It also comes into parks during migration and feeders in winter.
It breeds from South Dakota, Great Lakes and southern New England south to the Gulf Coast and Florida. Northern most birds sometimes migrate south for the winter.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
Virtual Silence., except for the creaking of wood as the trees slowly flex in the wind
A walk in the forest during winter time is as much about the sounds you hear as it is about the things you see., maybe more so., because.....
Then you hear it echoing through the trees... tap.,tap. tap!
The Woodpecker is at work., and if you get to see him your day is complete
But even if you don't., there is something magical about hearing the Woodpecker amongst the trees in the dead of winter
Spookie. eerie., fantastic!

Außer Gesundheit: Dass dieser eine Cent am Schluß immer in der Geldbörse übrig ist.
Except health: That this one cent is always left in the wallet at the end.
Considered the largest wood frame structure in Knox County Illinois, this old early 1900’s school house now sits unused except for Halloween spook shows and the like. There is a walnut wood gymnasium on the top floor. This place was a real showcase in it’s day which proves to me that in it’s heyday this town was bustling and prosperous whereas today it is only a sleepy little village with no business district whatsoever. The current population is about 250. The fortunes of this town rose and fell with the railroad. It has been left high and dry by the winds of fate.

Les moines de Cîteaux sont devenus propriétaires de vignes à Meursault en 1098, par donation du Duc Eudes Ier de Bourgogne à l'Abbé Robert de Molesme, fondateur de l'Abbaye de Cîteaux. Les caves, les celliers et les granges furent construits dans la vigne du "Vieux Clos" pour devenir La Maison de Cîteaux. Ce domaine fut la propriété de l'Abbaye de Cîteaux jusqu'à sa vente comme bien national en 1792. Les bâtiments restèrent inchangées jusqu'en 1865, date à laquelle le nouveau propriétaire, Jules Bernard, fit bâtir l'actuel château, au-dessus des constructions des moines. Jusqu'à l'arrivée du "Phylloxéra", le marché fut prospère. A cause de cette maladie, le Clos de vignes entourant le château de Cîteaux dut être arraché. C'est en 1995 que Philippe et Liliane Bouzereau firent l'acquisition du château pour y établir le siège de leur exploitation familiale. Le parc du château fut à nouveau planté en vigne comme jadis et les caves du XIIe siècle furent elles aussi restaurées...
N’ayant pas l’usage de toute la propriété, les Bouzereau mettent en vente le château en conservant leur activité viticole.
En 2009, Monsieur Garnier et son épouse achètent le château. Après deux années de travaux et de restauration historique, l’établissement « Le Château de Cîteaux La Cueillette » ouvre ses portes en septembre 2012. Il regroupe un hôtel, un restaurant et un spa de Fruititherapie.
Édifice de plan en T composé d'un corps central flanqué de deux pavillons, implanté au sein d'un parc arboré. Toiture, composée de toits brisés à croupe et de toits en pavillon, couverte d'ardoises. Lucarnes à couronnement rectangulaire et lucarne à baies jumelées et fronton cintré orné d'un chiffre "JB" (Jules Bernard). Édifice comprenant un rez-de-chaussée et deux étages dont un étage de comble. Moellons de pierre enduits et chaînes d'angle en pierre de taille formant pilastres. Baies rectangulaires, parfois surmontées d'une corniche moulurée ou d'un fronton triangulaire. Baies à arc déprimé. Garde-corps à balustres en pierre formant des motifs divers. Rez-de-chaussée, édifié en pierre de taille, en saillie (excepté sur la façade nord du corps central) formant terrasses avec garde-corps à balustres en pierre. Au sud, terrasse accessible par un vaste escalier en pierre à montées convergentes. Travée centrale surmontée d'un fronton-pignon cintré orné d'un cartouche sculpté portant le chiffre "JB" (Jules Bernard).
One of the smartest of all birds, these Corvids are found everywhere on the earth except Antarctica.
Clever, adaptable, social, ubiquitous, and don't forget raucous!
I found this one perched on some lakeshore driftwood and it allowed me to fire off a few shots before flying off to join its buddies :)
Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.
The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]
Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]
Redevelopment[edit]
The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]
Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]
