From the vault. The Fig. Shot many months ago while out scouting locations. This Fig sits on the top of a hill at the end of a road. Beautiful golden light.
Enjoy.

About the Moreton Bay Fig
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots, which are also known for damaging municipal footpaths.
As Ficus macrophylla is a strangler fig; seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree and the seedling lives as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground. It then enlarges and strangles its host, eventually becoming a freestanding tree by itself. Individuals may reach 60 m (200 ft) in height. Like all figs, it has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps; figs are only pollinated by fig wasps, and fig wasps can only reproduce in fig flowers.
Ficus macrophylla is widely used as a feature tree in public parks and gardens in warmer climates such as California, Portugal, Sicily and Australia. Old specimens can reach tremendous size. Its aggressive root system allows its use in only the largest private gardens.
The Moreton Bay fig was described by French botanist René Louiche Desfontaines. Its specific epithet macrophylla is derived from the Ancient Greek makro "large" and phyllon "leaf", and refers to the size of the leaves. Australian botanist Dale J. Dixon recognised two forms: Ficus macrophylla f. macrophylla, a free-standing tree which is endemic to mainland Australia and Ficus macrophylla f. columnaris, a hemiepiphyte without a distinct main trunk, which is endemic to Lord Howe Island.
The generally used common name is Moreton Bay Fig, after Moreton Bay in southern Queensland, although it is found elsewhere. The term has also been mistakenly generalised to other fig species in Australia. An alternate name, Black Fig, is derived from the dark colour of the ageing bark.

Any critique on this image would be fantastic
Al contrari que tots els rapinyaires de les fotos del Cim d'Aligues, aquest xot (otus scops) va per lliure. Això és el maxim que m'hi vaig poder acostar. Poc despres va marxar, cansat de que no el deixes dormir, el pobre.

I spoted this scops owl (otus scops) from a window. It was sleeping in a fig tree! You can see that he has elevated his "feather ears" to break his silhouette and resemble a piece of wood.
I watched the male bring twigs and build the nest yesterday. Now little Mamma is nesting in my Fig tree. Mourning Doves try to nest in there every year, but it is vulnerable to predators.I hope this time they will stay and we can see the baby doves hatch this year:)
Ho guardato il maschio portare rami e costruire il nido di ieri. ormai poco mamma è di nidificazione nel mio fico. Doves provare a nidificare in là, ogni anno, ma è vulnerabile ai predatori. Spero che questa volta si fermeranno e possiamo vedere le colombe bambino boccaporto di quest'anno :)
♥ Have a great day my friends and thank you for your visits!

At the back of the historic St Barnabas Chapel is an enormous Fig tree (Ficus virens or Banyan) which this local boy was having fun with the rope swing going from one platform to another.
I liked to colour combinations in the newly ploughed hillside contrasting with the lighter fig trees. The grape vines are the dark stumps on the ground....

For Sydney people and other film shooters in Australia who may need to mail film to labs, I can highly recommend Rewind Photo Lab.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the most famous Russian playwrights and one of the most screened prose writers because in his works more than 100 films have been shot.
Chekhov has purchased this property in January of 1900, as a place where he could escape from numerous visitors and guests of his Yalta house. Here he wrote the first act of the play Три сестры. While Anton Chekhov himself did not live in this house for extended periods of time, several members of his family did.Three rooms of the house are restored with contemporary furnishings. The exhibits are dedicated to Chekhov’s relationship with his wife, Olga Knipper, the play Three sisters, and the people that have surrounded him, his family and friends.
В 1898 году Чеховым А.П. был куплен участок в Гурзуфе. Это была татарская сакля с четырьмя комнатами, построенной прямо на берегу маленькой бухты за Пушкинской скалой (другое название — Подзорная труба). За все это и кусочек берега просили 3000 рублей. Это было дорого и, вознамерившись поторговаться, писатель пришел осмотреть место лично. Увидев такой красивый вид, оценив местоположение литератор пришел в восторг. Сделка тут же состоялась.
Позднее на нем был разбит ухоженный сад и построен небольшой уютный домик, проект которого разрабатывал Шаповалов Л.Н.
По завещанию писателя дача отошла его жене, О.Л. Книппер, которая жила там ежегодно в летние месяцы. В 1963 году дом перешел в ведение Союза художников СССР.
Восстановить дачу в том самом первоначальном виде, когда ее покупал писатель, предложил в 1987 году известный артист Олег Ефремов. Именно этот год считается годом открытия музея, как филиала чеховского дома-музея в Ялте. А с 2016 года он входит в структуру Крымского литературно-художественного мемориального музея-заповедника.

Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus.
Protaras, the tourist area, extends along the eastern coast of Paralimni and stretches for 10km from the district of 'Kapparis' to the location of 'Konnos'.
Protaras is Ayia Napa's laid-back neighbor.
I have to apologize for the blatant homemade look! I'm a newbie at pinnies. I wanted to find a way to make him stand up but I couldn't. I used actual scraps from a quilt I made last summer. This fabric is Whimsy by Fig Tree. I made an inner muslin pouch filled with clean aquarium/bird sand and then stuffed around it with poly-fil.
Overall I'm happy with the little guy. I hope my partner thinks he's ok to keep around ;-)

Southern Crested Caracara female inverted head display, moments before copulation. This is a unique display in the
world of bird behaviour, so far as I know.
Figtree growing new leaves- this happened within the last few days after a bit of rain.

The largest Moreton Bay fig tree, ficus macrophylla, in the United States. Imported from Australia and originally planted in 1875, then transplanted in 1877 to where it is today. Another view.
Another one taken at Observatory Hill. This place is just screaming to have pictures taken from it, so what can you do? Indeed take some more pictures :).
Hope you like it and I promise this is one of the last I will post taken from this place.
Enjoy!
This silk slip is over 100 years old. It was made in the 1920's for a great aunt who gave it to me.
I used it loads back in 2009's selfportraits. Im amazed I can still get in it. It's hand sewn and quite beautiful.

Close-up of Lion cub (Panthera leo nubica)sleeping peacefully on a fallen fig tree was taken by Elliott Neep in Kenya’s Masai Mara. To think this innocent looking little critter will one day develop into the most powerful and formidable predator on the continent…
