A Flame Skimmer stopped for a brief moment to rest on the end of a Yucca plant! It is fun to watch them zip around the yard catching insects.
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

Ramphocelus flammigerus -female-
(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)
This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".
The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.

Something so wholesome about you

The crackling of fire continued to deteriorate the wood. As time passes, both continue to loose each others form. Fire diminishing along with the wood that turns to soot until there is nothing left but smoke. But the journey of both brought warmth to a now cold home. Without their partnership, the beauty of feeling heat on a cold winter night or a rainy day would have never been experienced.
Their differences are surely vast that it could be difficult to coexist sometimes. Fire needs to spread, burn and devour all in its path, quite self aware, fierce and yet it knows how to survive in that manner. It also knows when to stop and remain but a small flicker. Earth is always warm, calculating, observant and just still. Nurturing and silent, slow and steady. Allowing life to exist, emitting empathy and giving birth to new opportunities. The possibilities of its care are endless.
Fire and Earth may not be an ideal combination due to the ultimate power both can produce if they worked together. They can make a whole nation collapse if unleashed. It was then that the two realized they could create even more wonders together. Gold coming from the earth could easily be melted with fire and turned into something precious. Without earth's elements, fire cannot exist and similarly without fire's involvement, earth's form cannot change.
The gold flame is a promise that both precious hearts will always belong to each other. Despite the obstacles of their union, the distance between their outstretched hearts and the burning strength in their souls to always be there for each other.
