a beautiful little romantic spot offering lots of mystery and I decided to believe that this might be one of the many spots Icelanders tell stories about trolls, alves or hidden people. The landscape certainly invites to create such myths.
I was quite excited when I spotted this Kingbird land in this blooming tree while I was enjoying a round of golf in Virginia. I had my camera ready since I knew I would be seeing lots of birds along the fairways. This was a case of being at the right place at the right time. I got several shots and even a flight shot as it left the tree but this one seemed to have the right pose. I love spring for the opportunity to get shots like this!

Many thanks to all the Flickr photographers that constantly inspire me to try various combinations in my quest for new images. After spending days wandering through abstract captures, I grabbed acrylic paints and shiny foil. Watching the liquids flow together gave me an image that reminded me of geographical maps of an alien landscape.

Stilt is a common name for several species of birds in the family Recurvirostridae, which also includes those known as avocets. They are found in brackish or saline wetlands in warm or hot climates.
They have extremely long legs, hence the group name, and long thin bills. Stilts typically feed on aquatic insects and other small creatures and nest on the ground surface in loose colonies.
Most sources recognize 6 species in 2 genera, although the white-backed and Hawaiian stilts are occasionally considered subspecies of the black-necked stilt. The generic name "Himantopus" comes from the Greek meaning "strap-leg".

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.
