A brightly coloured bird, the golden-browed chlorophonia is distinctive within its range. The male is bright green above and yellow below, with a wide golden-yellow eyebrow stripe and a violet-blue cap. It has a narrow blue eye ring and a thin blue line extending from its nape to its breast. The female is similar, but without the golden brown and yellow breast; these are both replaced with green. They average 13 cm (5.1 in) in length.

We are fortunate to have a Western Bluebird family in our yard. Mom and Dad are keeping busy feeding their young. My last post was a portrait of Mrs. B… This shot is a portrait of her Hubby, a Beautiful Bluebird, indeed.
Western Bluebirds are small thrushes that usually perch upright. They are stocky with thin, straight bills and fairly short tails.
Male Western Bluebirds are shiny blue above with rust-orange extending from a vest on the breast onto the upper back. Females are gray-buff with a pale orange wash on the breast and blue tints to the wings and tail. The throat is blue in males and gray-buff in females, and the lower belly is whitish.
These birds are highly social, and usually feed in flocks during the non-breeding season. They hunt for terrestrial insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch. Western Bluebirds also frequently feed on berries in trees. Western Bluebirds rely on trees both for nesting cavities and hunting perches, and also perch on fences and utility lines.

Oia is a scenic village on the north west edge of the Santorini island within the Cyclades. It extends for almost 2 km (1.2 miles) along the northern edge of the caldera that forms the island of Santorini, at a height of between 70 and 100 m (230 and 330 feet) above sea level. Immediately to the east is Phinikia), and about 500 m (550 yards) to the north is Tholos Amoudi Bay lies below the town. The small fishing village of Ormos Armen lies below Oia to the south and is reached via steps. There is a ferry connection to Therasia from the harbour village of Ormos Ammoudi (Όρμος Αμμουδιού; also spelled Amoudi) to the west. There are 300 steps down to the port from Oia. The small island of Agios Nikolaos lies to the southwest
This extended tessellation of the '4-Butterflies' is related to the 'Extended open connection 5'. So I call this new one: 'Extended Open Connection 7'.

Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
Compared to other members of the genus Canis, the black-backed jackal is a very ancient species, and has changed little since the Pleistocene, being the most basal wolf-like canine, alongside the closely related side-striped jackal. It is a fox-like animal with a reddish brown to tan coat and a black saddle that extends from the shoulders to the base of the tail. It is a monogamous animal, whose young may remain with the family to help raise new generations of pups. The black-backed jackal is not a fussy eater, and feeds on small to medium-sized animals, as well as plant matter. (Wikipedia)
Heritage Site
Wards Public Marina is on the Nicomekl River in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
It started out as a farm in the late 1800's. The 1894 historic farmhouse can be seen in the previous image. ( The house and it's outbuildings back the marina )
The Ward family included a small private marina after WWII. Years later the dock was extended.
In 1985, the City of Surrey purchased Wards Marina and the surrounding property.
The HISTORIC STEWART FARMHOUSE is now a heritage museum site.
The property was named, Elgin Heritage Park.
Wards Public Marina, is owned by the City of Surrey, and now operates as a civic marina.
The shoreline is an oyster bed. Thousands of oysters line the riverbank.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.

Rot ist eine der Primärfarben. Manche weisen ihr Aggressivität als Merkmal zu, Das muss nicht immer stimmen. In die Farbfülle einer natürlichen Umgebung eingebettet entfaltet Rot eine durchaus angenehme Wirkung,
The favorite color of most people is blue. But red also has a lot to offer in his gradients.

I was making the long trek back to my car after a disappointing photo shoot at dusk... seeking to photograph some elusive deer in the nature park, but they kept themselves nicely hidden in the forest. Darkness fell quickly.
Then I came across this beautiful fountain lit with the most glorious light. I had seen this fountain during the day, but didn't realize how stunning it looked at night. I had to stop and take some shots... both short and long exposure. I was hoping to catch some water droplets at short exposure, but it wasn't until I got at home that I realized how artistic the extended-exposure shots were.
This is an example of the age-old adage:
If your planned shot isn't happening, move around; if you keep your eyes open, photo ops are all around us.

We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I drove along a windy road among redwoods, and noticed a small creek. I followed the creek on foot until I found a small waterfall.
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a railway viaduct on the West Highland Line in Glenfinnan, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Located at the top of Loch Shiel in the West Highlands of Scotland, the viaduct overlooks the Glenfinnan Monument and the waters of Loch Shiel.
Famous for being a part of the Harry Potter movie series, the viaduct became an overnight star. The design is brilliant, with the largest of the 21 spans extending up to 50 feet. The construction of the viaduct took close to 4 years, from 1897 to 1901. It also boasts of being Scotland’s longest concrete railway bridge, stretching to 380 meters and it also crosses the River Finnan at the height of 100 feet.
Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Gaztelugatxe es un islote de la localidad vizcaína de Bermeo, País Vasco, España. Está unido al continente por un puente de dos arcos. Sobre la isla hay una ermita dedicada a San Juan que data del siglo X, aunque algunos descubrimientos datan del siglo IX. Dicha ermita se edificó sobre los restos de un castillo adscrito al Reino de Navarra y que fue asediado, sin ser tomado, por las tropas castellanas. Junto con otra pequeña isla vecina, la de Aqueche, forma un biotopo protegido, que se extiende desde la localidad de Baquio hasta el cabo Machichaco en Bermeo, en el golfo de Vizcaya.
La costa vizcaína en este lugar es agreste. El mar trabaja sin cesar erosionando la roca, areniscas y duras calizas de arrecife, y tallando en ella túneles, arcos y cuevas. La isla de Gaztelugache es el corazón de este interesante tramo de costa, junto con la pequeña isla de los conejos, la isla de Akatx, paraíso de las aves marinas.
Sobre la isla de Gaztelugache hay una ermita consagrada a San Juan. Junto a la ermita hay un pequeño refugio que permite protegerse del viento y poder realizar una merienda disfrutando del mar y de las aves que anidan en estos lares.
El acceso es espectacular. Un estrecho camino que parte de tierra firme y cruza sobre las rocas por un puente de piedra permite llegar hasta la zona superior del islote después de ascender 241 escalones. El camino se encuentra asimismo jalonado con las sucesivas estaciones de un Viacrucis. Suele ser tradición entre los caminantes tocar la campana de la ermita, como símbolo por el esfuerzo realizado, una vez ascendidos los 241 escalones.3 El esfuerzo merece la pena.
El islote está atravesado por túneles y hay numerosos arcos. A sus lados se abren playas de piedra que suelen ser muy utilizadas por los buceadores.
La costa, acantilada, está cubierta de vegetación. Destaca en esta el endemismo vasco y el acebuche y sobre ellos hay árgomas, encinas y brezos. En el mar, de fondos rocosos, existen praderas de algas, con especies como las laminarias o saccorhizas. La población piscícola es la típica del Cantábrico, donde abundan lubinas, fanecas, congrios o chicharros, y se completa con babosas, carraspios, julias e invertebrados como actinias, erizos, holoturias, pulpos, nécoras y centollos, además de los percebes que se encaraman en la roca.
Las aves marinas son muy abundantes. La existencia de espacios amplios, como la isla de Aqueche a la que solo se pueden acceder por mar, hacen que puedan reproducirse con tranquilidad. Entre las aves que crían aquí destaca, por su rareza y pequeño tamaño, el paíño común. Abundan además, las gaviotas patiamarilla, los cormoranes moñudos y las palomas bravías.
Aunque hay frecuentes discrepancias respecto a qué municipio pertenece el istmo de Gaztelugache, este se encuentra dentro de los límites de la Villa de Bermeo.
Gaztelugatxe is an islet in the Vizcaya town of Bermeo, Basque Country, Spain. It is linked to the mainland by a two-arch bridge. On the island there is a hermitage dedicated to San Juan that dates from the 10th century, although some discoveries date from the 9th century. Said hermitage was built on the remains of a castle attached to the Kingdom of Navarra and which was besieged, without being taken, by Castilian troops. Together with another small neighboring island, that of Aqueche, it forms a protected biotope, which extends from the town of Baquio to Cape Machichaco in Bermeo, in the Bay of Biscay.
The Biscayan coast in this place is wild. The sea works incessantly eroding the rock, sandstone and hard reef limestone, and carving tunnels, arches and caves in it. The island of Gaztelugache is the heart of this interesting stretch of coast, together with the small island of rabbits, the island of Akatx, a paradise for seabirds.
On the island of Gaztelugache there is a hermitage consecrated to San Juan. Next to the hermitage there is a small shelter that allows you to protect yourself from the wind and to be able to have a snack enjoying the sea and the birds that nest in these parts.
The access is spectacular. A narrow path that starts from the mainland and crosses over the rocks by a stone bridge allows you to reach the upper part of the islet after climbing 241 steps. The road is also marked out with the successive stations of a Via Crucis. It is usually a tradition among walkers to ring the hermitage bell, as a symbol of the effort made, once the 241 steps have been ascended.3 The effort is worth it.
The islet is crossed by tunnels and there are numerous arches. On its sides there are stone beaches that are often used by divers.
The coast, steep, is covered with vegetation. The Basque endemism and the wild olive tree stand out in this area, and on top of them there are gorse, holm oaks and heather. In the sea, with rocky bottoms, there are seaweed meadows, with species such as laminarias or saccorhizas. The fish population is typical of the Cantabrian Sea, where sea bass, pouts, conger eels or mackerels abound, and is completed with slugs, carraspios, julias and invertebrates such as actinia, sea urchins, holothurians, octopus, crabs and spider crabs, as well as barnacles that perch on the rock.
Sea birds are very abundant. The existence of wide spaces, such as the island of Aqueche, which can only be accessed by sea, means that they can reproduce with ease. Among the birds that breed here, due to its rarity and small size, the common storm petrel stands out. There are also plenty of yellow-legged gulls, shags and rock doves.
Although there are frequent discrepancies regarding which municipality the Gaztelugache isthmus belongs to, it is within the limits of the Villa de Bermeo.
Højbro Plads (literally "High Bridge Square") is a rectangular public square located between the adjoining Amagertorv and Slotsholmen Canal in the City Centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. It takes its name from the Højbro Bridge which connects it to the Slotsholmen island on the other side of the canal while Gammel Strand extends along the near side of the canal.
The most striking feature of the square is an equestrian statue of Absalon, the warrior-bishop who has traditionally been credited as the founder of Copenhagen. It was inaugurated in 1901 to commemorate the septcentennial of his death.

Coral Sunset Intersectional Itoh Peony .
A sunset in a flower! Aptly named for its awe-inspiring transformation from a radiant, vivid coral through a range of peaches, and finally, a creamy white colour, the flower is a masterpiece at every step of this sunset, and one might argue a bloom only improves with age. Unique from other coral varieties in that it opens with the most intense coral colour and has petals that are more ruffled, which perhaps contribute to a fuller appearance. Has a lower, more compact growing habit than Coral Charm. Mass plantings are recommended as flowers at different colour stages provide a visual riot in the landscape.
Side buds are possible, extending the bloom period. A favourite of the peony garden, this outstanding peony produces intense sunset coral, semi-double blossoms with rose overtones and a fluffy deep yellow stamens in the center. The lightly fragrant flowers are long lasting in fresh bouquets. ‘Coral Sunset’ blooms early in the peony season, around late spring in Ontario It is highly prized for its exemplary plant habit. and by florist as cut flower in bouquets.

Another of Shingle Street Suffolk. The banks of shingle are constantly changing due to tidal currents and weather, making this location quite unique in as much as you never know what to expect!

A receding Mars imaged in poor seeing on the 2nd January.
This was and has been my first imaging foray since having a miserable Christmas with CoVid.
Been a bit of struggle to try and recover but glad I managed something, despite the hopeless seeing here with Mars swimming all over the place. This made focusing difficult - particularly the green and blue filters - so often the case!
The weather has been rather poor for with a strong Jetstream being ever present!
Anyway this image shows a just under 97% illuminated Mars. The red planet is now receding quite rapidly from our perspective as we leave it behind in our faster orbit.
The dark "thin" downward projection (projecting from the dark Mare Cimmerium) of the Sinus Gomer is pretty much central. The "Isthmus-Like" Hesperia region is to its right with the light coloured Elysium Plains lying below Sinus Gomer.
Some cloud is visible over the North Polar Region (bottom) and on the left limb.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a ZWO 290MM camera, with RGB filters and an Explore Scientific Focal Extender.
Thanks for looking!
