My lovely new friend was sitting on the rubbish bins again yesterday chilling out in the sunshine. Not sure that he/she was overly impressed at having a photo taken again though.

19th February 2017:
As predicted the weather has turned, it started off nice enough earlier this morning and then clouded over. It also feels damp out and the light's gone completely, very grey.
So I had to find an inside photo, but Graham gave me the idea yesterday when he said he hadn't noticed the little plastic flower on my cardigan before. Just about managed to get a photo before Izzy tried to bomb another photo!

A very sad sight. It looks like they have been given planning permission to build on the only large patch of green in the town centre.
There had been a petition to stop it, but obviously not enough people protested sadly.

A lovely real VW Beetle. I just love 'em.

Partial Rainbow, Greystones, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
I was fortunate to get this rainbow. It lasted only a short time. I had to race down to the pier wall so I could avoid some signs
The outside stairs down to the car park at home.

At Km 18, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
The Palm Tanager (Thraupis palmarum) is common and resident from Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. The Palm Tanager, although different in color, is very similar to the Blue-gray Tanager in size, shape and behavior. They are often seen in mixed flocks with the Blue-gray and their calls and songs are nearly the same as the Blue-gray's. However, unlike the Blue-gray, the Palm Tanager is not normally found in highly developed urban settings.
February 26, 2017, at Circasia, QuindÃo, Colombia.
The Acorn Woodpecker is resident from California in the USA south to Colombia. In Colombia, the Acorn Woodpecker is found at altitudes above 1400 meters (4700 feet). They live in family groups of up to 12 individuals and all cooperate collecting and storing acorns, and in raising the young. There are no oak trees near where this bird was photographed but they have no problem finding alternate food sources. They are often seen raiding corn fields and other crops in rural areas.
This is the last posting from our February 2017, trip to Colombia. To see the complete album click on the image in the comments below.
Quaker Square is a mixed use property on the campus of the University of Akron. At one time, however, it was home of the Quake Oats Company.

Early February and the snowdrops are appearing in all the village church yards up and down the UK. This is St Etheldreda in the village of West Halton in North Lincolnshire.
The snowdrops will soon give way to the daffodils and I may be back to photograph those in March.
February 17, 2017 at Km. 18, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
There are more than 200 species of American Tanagers. The Flame-rumped Tanager (Ramphocelus flammigerus) is a common Thraupidae (Tanager) that is resident in Panamá, Colombia, Ecuador and a small area of northern Peru. They are about 18 cm (7 inches) in length. The Flame-rumped Tanager inhabits forests edges, parks and gardens normally below 2,000 meters but in Colombia I have seen this species at 2,300 meters (7,700 feet) above sea level.

February 17, 2017 at KM 18, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This is a female Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii). The Long-tailed Sylph is found in the forests of the Andes in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia at 1500 to 2500 meters above sea level.

This shot was taken this morning. Feeling all the Monday blues, overwhelmed looking at the week ahead, as well as the week behind. Struggling to stay in the moment.
It's now well after getting home from work and the chiropractor and I still haven't gotten myself centered. I just burned a pan of sliced almonds I was toasting. I sat here and, literally - at least twice (probably more) - thought, who's cooking something? what's cooking? And none of those times did I think, oh - I am!
I'm going to try to get to bed soon. Hopefully, getting a good night's sleep will help tomorrow.
This shot is for The Hereios' theme, How are you feeling today?!
And today's shot is also for February's Alphabet Fun: 2017 Edition; F is for Feelings.
And last, but not least, for Our Daily Challenge, Mood Lighting.

February 20, 2017 at Manizales, Caldas, Colombia.
Moustached Puffbird (Malacoptila mystacalis). A silent medium-sized bird about 8 inches (20cm), that is difficult to find in dark, moist forest undergrowth. They perch 7 to 20 feet (2 to 6 meters) above ground throughout the Andes of Venezuela and Colombia from 800 to 1,500 meters ( 2,600 to 4,900 feet) above sea level.
. . . My assignment for the Lakeshore Camera Club last month was panorama! This is a cell phone pano of Otter Creek, just off Esch Road beach on Lake Michigan about 5 miles south of Empire. The creek has lost it's sharp 90 degree turn and now flows directly into the big lake!
I tried a 4 shot pano of the same thing in Photoshop, and dark lines came in at the boarders of the individual frames, have no reason why?
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Driving westbound US-50 east of Strong City, experiencing a brief gap in the foggy conditions, as the sun showed up briefly and I was able to see some blue sky.

Sunday morning 19 February 2017
One of two more vacation shots taken last February 2017. Just as a break from the winter that has been hammering Toronto recently.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your Sunday
Saw the palm tree and all this fruit on my walk this morning. Though it was worth a photo as I've not seen them before.

The Californian Lilac is beginning to flower down in the lower car park. It's just so pretty.

Saw this little spider on a house wall. It was a bit high up but I did my best to get a macro shot of it.
