Joking aside. I don't know if this ruff male in nuptial plumage responds to the name "Willy". In wildlife, I have seen these funnily dressed birds only from a distance; this one in Münster zoo was very close. However, the environment was not photogenic at all, so I decided to free the bird by releasing it to a nearby nature reserve - at least virtually, by replacing the background 😄
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my world Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday.
My weekend was super busy but very cool !! It was almost back to pre-pandemic era normal ! We had lots of kids over (my sons’s friends), my parents came and we had a power shortage !! I know that putting two exclamations points after a « power shortage » makes it feel like something very positive but in the end it was ! We had a BBQ with candles and lots of gin and tonic. It is hot as hell in Montreal right now so spending a night without AC was truly difficult but luckily for us the electricity came back just in time.
Today is my running day so I feel like this egg: I’m set free to go ! Since it is very hot, I will run inside. So far I did 295,2km this month and I hope I will get me badge (I know it is very insignificant but I have a very addictive personality !!) and be able to get to 400km until the end of this month…
Once again, with the power being out for more than 3 hours, I didn’t had the time to answer your comments. I will catch up as soon as possible…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

My heart beats in patters to the broken sound
You're the only one that can calm me down
My head spins in circles so I'm dizzy now
All of this time I should've figured it out
I'm a free animal, free animal

A clear view of the spread tail feathers is necessary for a definitive identification, but this is about 95% likely to be an Allen's rather than the very similar Rufous hummingbird. Newport Beach Back Bay, California

It's a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in that kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.
I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
The uploaded JPEG is about 17MB in size, the AVIF 1.9MB.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel

Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae. Really captured in mid-air during erratic flight. Couldn’t be happier.
The high wind have been blowing leaves from the trees even if they aren't ready to fall on their own. Happy Day

No matter the size of whoever tries to get close, this little teal protects its companion, a duck at all times...
It's the most beautiful thing to see LOL
Não importa o tamanho de quem tenta se aproximar, esse pequeno marreco protege sua companheira, uma pata o tempo todo...
É a coisa mais linda de se ver LOL

Run chicken run
Don't you lose your sleep
The cat got out of the bag
You better keep your sense
Breathe chicken breathe
Don't you lose your breath
Chickens don't get no life after death

the one who flies solo
has the strongest wings.

The only way to deal with an unfree world,
is to become so absolutely free,
that your very existence is an act of rebellion. - Albert Camus
