The Long-tailed Tit, Aegithalos caudatus, is a very small passerine bird. It breeds in most of Europe and Asia. It is usually a non-migratory species, although there have been several extralimital records, and migration has been observed in north-eastern Europe.
The Long-tailed Tit is black and brown above and whitish below, with reddish flanks. It has a white crown. North European birds (A. c. caudatus) have completely white heads and flanks. There are several other subspecies which vary substantially in plumage (such as European birds have got black above eye and Turkish birds has got greyish "eyebrow" above eye and black thoat with grey scapulars). Hybridization between subspecies is common, and the hybridization zone between caudatus and europaeus seems to move in an easterly direction.
Long-tailed Tits are found in deciduous woodlands with significant undergrowth. This is a restless species, constantly on the move as it searches for insects and other small food items. During the autumn and winter, it is usually found in flocks of up to thirty individuals; it has been described as an avian sheep. During the breeding season (late February to July), Long-tailed Tits form monogamous pairs. (wikipedia)
These are always quite vocal and their presence is usually given away by their constant contact calls. Such a busy bird, always flitting through trees and the hedgerows but always a treat to see. I never tire of watching these fantastic characters. Taken along the River Dodder, Dublin, Ireland.
My wife's sewing experiment is a nice subject for my lighting experiment.

Certainly in this unprecedented year, the sight of any form of 'timber' train albeit empty is unusual in the North West, so this had to be recorded. Cloas 70809 approaches Chapel Lane bridge, Acton Bridge with 6F56 08.52hrs Newton Abbot - Carlisle e/KFA wagons. A question, is the yellow end of the loco compliant as it seems to a very much lighter shade of yellow compared with all the other TOC / FOC's? 30th July 2020.

The Jewish WW2 holocaust monument in Berlin, Germany .
(The color of the monument has not been digitally manipulated. Only an enhancement of the forms was done).
Final piece of landscape project, I created the semi-abstract image by connecting the collage with ink and rollers and connected further with acrylics and oil pastels.

My personal stay-at-home abstract photography project for today.
Some cheesecloth was used because it is broadly woven and it is easy to see the threads. Some slightly warm toning was added, and there is a little "glow" as well.

Time for a quick splash of colour in my photostream. This was taken at Frensham small pond this morning (blimey it was cold) just at the point when the mists formed as the Sun came up.

Un paio di mesi fa ho ricevuto un regalo.
Due noci.
E due numeri.
Ne ho scelto uno, il 25.
Dentro un bigliettino.
L'iscrizione ad una mezza maratona in montagna.
E da allora mi alleno per rispettare questo regalo.
Correndo.
Per riuscire almeno ad arrivare in fondo.
Anche quest'anno il mio 25 aprile, seppur in forma diversa, sarà un giorno di RESISTENZA.

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. Declared a U.S. National Park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act (Public Law 103-433), it had previously been a U.S. National Monument since 1936. It is named for the Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) native to the park. It covers a land area of 790,636 acres (1,235.37 sq mi; 3,199.59 km2) —an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres (173,890 ha), is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
The rock formations of Joshua Tree National Park were formed more than 100 million years ago from the cooling of magma beneath the surface into monzogranite, with roughly rectangular joints. Groundwater then filtered through the joints to erode away the corners and edges to create rounded stones, and flash floods washed away covering ground to create piles of boulders. These prominent outcrops are known as inselbergs.

Der Joshua-Tree-Nationalpark ist eine Wüstenlandschaft im Südosten Kaliforniens, die den Übergang zwischen der Mojave-Wüste und der Colorado-Wüste bildet. Der Park ist nach der auffälligen, im Englischen „Joshua Tree“ genannten Josua-Palmlilie (Yucca brevifolia) benannt, der größten Art der Gattung der Palmlilien (Yucca), die auch Josuabaum genannt wird.
Neben den Joshuabaum-Wäldern bietet der Park eine der interessantesten geologischen Formationen, die man in den kalifornischen Wüsten findet. Es herrschen kahle Felsen vor, die in der Regel in einzelne Felsformationen aufgebrochen sind.
Joshua-Tree wurde 1936 zum National Monument und 1994 zum Nationalpark erklärt. Er wird jährlich von über einer Million Menschen – darunter Tausende von Felskletterern aus aller Welt – besucht.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
Es curioso ver como todos los días cuando vas a fotografiar te encuentras con las mismas personas, los que pescan, pasean, corren, los ciclistas y este señor que todas las mañanas hacía lo mismo buscaba conchas....
Funny how every day when you're going to photograph the same people, those who fish, walk, run, cyclists and the man who every morning looking for shells did the same thing ....
Happy Easter
Then you see ...

El Museo Soumaya en la Ciudad de México ha sido descrito como "un trapezoide en movimiento", "una estructura brillante, plateada y casi como nube, reminiscente de una escultura de Rodin", y "el museo más llamativo del mundo". Diseñado por el audaz y joven arquitecto Fernando Romero, también fue llamado "imposible de construir". La fachada, en particular, presentó grandes desafíos.
Si alguien podía hacerlo realidad, sería el dueño, Carlos Slim Helú, el hombre más rico del mundo. Slim construyó el museo del año 2008 al 2011 como parte de la Plaza Carso, su distintivo desarrollo multiusos en Polanco, Ciudad de México. Slim comentó que, debido a que muchos mexicanos no podían viajar por el mundo admirando colecciones de arte, él creía importante albergar una prestigiosa colección de arte internacional en México. Con entrada gratuita, el Museo Soumaya contiene más de 60,000 obras de arte en los seis pisos que ofrecen 6,000 metros cuadrados de área de exhibición. El jardín de esculturas de la planta superior, cubierto por un espectacular tragaluz, muestra numerosas piezas de Rodin. El Museo Soumaya, llamado así en honor a la finada esposa de Slim, también contiene un auditorio con capacidad de 350 personas, una biblioteca pública, una tienda de regalos y un café.
Cada uno de los pisos en el museo tiene una forma distinta, y el peso del edificio es sostenido por un esqueleto de 28 columnas curvas, y siete losas de concreto que enmarcan la caprichosa forma. La compleja fachada, "imposible de construir", consiste de 16,000 hexágonos de aluminio brillantes que parecen "flotar" sobre su superficie, separados por milímetros unos de otros.
