One of the more elusive reedbed residents has to change its diet completely in order to survive the long, cold winter.
Bearded Reedlings spend the summer months feasting on insects. However, to avoid having to migrate south in winter as birds such as swallows and warblers do, the bearded reedlings change their diet to reed seeds in winter. The seeds are extremely tough so the birds use a nifty trick to make the seeds easy to digest - they eat grit. Grit trays are provided at Oare and it is a good place to get a view of these beautiful birds.
I read that frogs do not eat ladybugs, however later found out that tree frogs do eat them. He must have been waiting for the right time. Neither one of them moved the whole time my son and I were photographing them.

There are many images of the Notre Dame in Paris and most are of the front façade with its iconic towers.
However, after a short stop for a coffee, we exited the café and headed over to the bridge behind the cathedral and from the South Eastern side I managed to capture what I thought was an unusual and different perspective.
I loved the outcome and I was even more surprised to find an almost exact copy on a picture postcard as we were leaving France. I guess that makes this one good enough to make my first Paris visit profile.
All Rights Reserved. Thank you for all of your views, faves and comments. It is your feedback (faves and comments) that makes is all worthwhile.
Not much to see; however, 2 miles South of where this image was taken a tornado crossed a major road. From my location this is about all one can see if a tornado was coming. 2 miles from my place is cutting things a bit close.
I don't like tunnels. Especially dark tunnels. I think the roof will cave in or a big chunk will drop on my head. I don't like tunnels that have a vertical 30 foot drop at the end either. Or ones where you have to squeeze round a big boulder above a 30 foot drop. Or ones which are full of water. And most of all I don't like all of that when I am alone. But here I am in the second tunnel looking over what the quarrymen called California into the tunnel that leads to Dali's Hole. I just wish i had had someone to stand in that tunnel in silhouette to give a sense of scale.
However it does appear that there is a goldfish about to go over the waterfall. How did that get there?
The stream I'm standing in plunges over the edge in front of me. It makes a beautiful sight to whoever emerges from that tunnel. Here's one I took before:
This image of Castle Howard was taken almost exactly four years ago and it looks full of the promise of Spring. However looking at the image its hard not to feel the poignancy of the date. I think as we wandered round the grounds that morning we knew Covid was coming but we probably had no idea how awful the next be months would be. The first UK Lockdown came into force about a week later.. I remember we had coffee and a cake at the cafe at Castle Howard. It would be the last time we ate out for many months .
We of course got off lightly, yes our life was turned upside down, so many things one took for granted had to be abandoned but we were not struck by the virus . Unlike millions across the world who died or became seriously ill and the many people who lost their livelihoods . Such a strange sad time.
I think the book the captures the time best is “ Lucy by the Sea “ by the brilliant American novelist Elizabeth Strout. It certainly not a book just about Covid but it captures the period better than anything else I have read

ARCHITECTURE BUILDINGS IN BELFAST NORTHERN IRELAND 04-04-2023
RISE is the official name given to the public art sculpture located at Broadway Roundabout in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1] However, it has been given unofficial, colloquial titles such as the "Balls of the Falls", "the Testes on the Westes" and "the Westicles".[2] These names have been derived by both the sculptures location on Broadway Junction (located above the A12 Westlink and in close proximity to the Falls Road)[3] and in reference to its shape made from two, spherical, metal structures.[4]
The RISE sculpture was designed by Wolfgang Buttress and consists of a geodesic sphere suspended inside a larger, 30 m (98 ft) diameter sphere and stands at an overall height of 37.5 m (123 ft).[5] Geodesic refers to the shortest path between two points on a curve so that in the case of the RISE sculpture, adjacent connections on each of the spheres are connected using straight bars, thereby minimising the distance between two points.[5] At 30m wide and 37.5m tall, RISE is the biggest public art sculpture in Belfast.[6]
RISE was commissioned by Belfast City Council[1] and built in 2011[7] as part of a multimillion-pound road improvement programme.[8] It now sits atop of the A12 Westlink Underpass (a grade-separated junction) where, according to a 2009 NI assembly report, sees approximately 80,000 cars on average flow past it each day.[9]

It is officially WINTER! I always am dreaming of a White Christmas... however, that is ALL it ever is... a dream.
This was the loverly surprise one morning then, not often to be seen, a fairy-tale like beauty...
A thick fog came up in the night and froze everything, making it look beautiful.
The sun showed up, the sky turned blue... and suddenly, it was gone...
Enjoy it while you can!
I wish you all the very best, may your wishes come true, and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, faves and likes. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

The Hertefeld Castle estate, consisting of a castle ruin and attached park, stands in the town of Weeze in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was established in the fourteenth century.
The castle was first mentioned as a knight's seat in 1322. However, it appears that a family of this name lived nearby for significantly longer, since a man named Theodoricus de Hertevenlde was first mentioned in 1179.
In the fourteenth century the castle was the center of an independent domain. However, this independence disappeared in the following years de to increasing subservience to the dukedom of Cleves. In 1322, the domain excluding the castle was sold in 1322 by Wilhelm von Herteveld to Graf Dietrich VII of Cleves. Three years later, the castle too entered the ownership of Cleves. However, the castle was later returned to the Herteveld family in the person of Stephan II von Herteveld, but now as a loan from the house of Cleves.
Following the death of the count Stephan IV in 1485, the family was divided via his two sons into two branches. With the senior branch acquiring through marriage the castle of Kolk in Uedam, Hertefeld castle passed to the junior branch under count Heinrich. This branch later died out in the direct line with Elbert von und zu Hertefeld, who however transferred the estate to his stepbrother Elbert von Steenhaus. Facing financial difficulties, Elbert in turn passed it to his relative Jobst Gerhard von Hertefeld, thereby reunifying the property of the two branches. The hartefeld properties had by this time become quite extensive, incorporating not just Uedam and Weeze but also Boetzelaer castle, Hoennepel, Kervenheim and Zelhem (today part of Bronckhorst).
Jobst Gerhard's father had previously through his good relations with the Duke of Brandenburg, Friedrich Wilhelm, inherited the property of Liebenberg in Brandenburg, which he later made the principle residence of his family. His grandson, Samuel von und zu Hertefeld, was raised to the rank of Freiherr by Friedrich I of Prussia, who frequently lodged at Hertefeld castle during his tours of inspection along the lower Rhine. Another prominent guest was Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The male line of the family died out in 1867 with Karl von Hertefeld, whose grandniece Alexandrine inherited the property. Since she was married to Philipp Konrad zu Eulenburg, Hertefeld became incorporated into his family property. Alexandrine's son Philipp zu Eulenburg became a personal friend of Wilhelm II, who raised him in 1900 to the rank of Furst. Since the family had also acquired the title of Graf from the king of Sweden, he and his successors were henceforth able to style themselves "Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels". Philipp himself became notorious only a few years later as a result of the Harden-Eulenburg-Affäre, in which he became a target of the influential publicist Maximilian Harden. In several court cases, he defended himself against allegations of homosexuality without being convicted.
Alexandrines second, Botho Sigwart, became the first family member for some time to make Hertefeld his long-term residence. His opera "Songs of Euripides", which premiered in 1915 at the royal Staatstheater Stuttgart. The principal line of the family returned to Hertefeld at the end of the Second World War, after their principal residence at Liebenburg was confiscated by the East German government.
We made a boattrip on this beautiful river. It was very calm and peaceful. However, the other side of the river is not safe for foreigners and more or less forbidden area. But, being on this river felt so peaceful, with no other traffic and only some birds and hippo's watching us. Time must have stood still here for hundreds of years, at least, that was how it felt.

I had some time to go for a wander this morning in the welcome sunshine, at first it seemed there were no birds around at all and then suddenly there were birds everywhere!
Arthur was quite happy to sit back and watch the action as the Magpies and Little Ravens harassed a Wedge-tailed Eagle and a Black Kite. He did however come to his partner Guinevere's assistance when she became the target.

Wanna Buy Me A Coffee?
There are times that moving in so close to a flower, you lose sight of the over-all beauty of the thing. However, by diving into the center of this rhododendron flower, I discovered a whole new world.
In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

8:52 Amuse Yourself – however you want!
Happy day in the kitchen !
I find it amusing when my food smiles at me.
I struggle with woodland images if there isn't any fog or a composition that doesn't slap you in the face. The colours are however looking superb at the moment.
Is it going to fly? I was more than ready. However, it was just a wing stretch.
We sat in the cramped Zodiac for two hours after locating the Eagle, and were due to return to shore when it finally took to flight.
I was sitting on the side of the zodiac with one leg dangling outside. {for comfort} when the eagle stated to move. I swung my leg back into the boat to ready myself for a few flight shots. {not that easy to do when stuffed in a survivor suit}
Sure enough, it took to flight, and I missed it, while I was on manoeuvres'
As I am following the chronology of the trip I should now be heading North again. However I could not resist posting another shot from the Lofoten Islands. This is the incredibly beautiful village of Reine a fishing village which is located on the island of Moskenesøya .It was a long drive from Svolvar to Reine but when I turned a bend in the road and saw the village my jaw just dropped. I have a lot of shots of the Lofotens so will be returning to them in the future but tomorrow we carry on North towards Tromso
A little bit of information on the Lofoten Islands from wiki
Lofoten is an archipelago in the county of Nordland, Norway. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude. Lofoten is known for its distinctive scenery with mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.
Lofoten is located at the 68th and 69th parallels north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. Lofoten encompasses the several principal islands, running from north to south are: Hinnøya, Austvågøy, Gimsøy ,Vestvågøy, Flakstadøya and Moskenesøya. Winter temperatures in Lofoten are very mild considering its location north of the Arctic Circle .This is a result of the Gulf Stream and its extensions: the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current. Røst and Værøy are the most northerly locations in the world where average temperatures are above freezing all year.
What Wiki forgot to say is that these Islands are astonishingly beautiful…if you have a few quid spare go and visit them
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

Georgian folk dances impress with their brightness, incredible fire, sumptuous costumes and the interweaving of history with art. They give incredibly great pleasure to both the audience and the dancers themselves. No one has remained indifferent after such a spectacle! Today we offer you to get acquainted with the most famous Georgian folk dances and learn a little about their history:
Georgian National Dances: General information
The exact date of the origin of Georgian national dances is not known. However, it is supposed that the Georgian dancing folk was mentioned for the first time before our era.
In different parts of the country during many years were appearing unique dancing movements which have passed from generation to generation. And you will note that the dances of mountainous region inhabitants are characterized by sharp and rapid movements while the dance movements of plain inhabitants are smooth. Each Georgian national dance requires special costumes which resemble the clothes of inhabitants of different regions.

The alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a species of South American camelid. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas. The two animals are closely related and can successfully cross-breed. Alpacas and llamas are also closely related to the vicuña, which is believed to be the alpaca's wild ancestor, and to the guanaco. There are two breeds of alpaca: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca. Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Southern Peru, Western Bolivia, Ecuador, and Northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m to 5,000 m above sea level. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be working animals but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to sheep's wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. 16612
The beautiful Lago di Carezza which is perhaps one of the most beautiful lakes in the world - surely? With it's crystal waters and backdrop it's truly a sight to behold and no wonder so popular.
I persuaded my husband to drive me the hour and a half from our accommodaton at 5am to get this picture. To say he wasn't too excited about this prospect is an understatement! However, it was the only photography time I asked for on our holidays so he relented. We had a good hour or so here without a soul around us. He said he quite happily sat on the bench and drank in the view whilst I messed on with my camera! I'd annoyingly forgotten my filter ring and had to hold my filters in front of the lens so I did only get one or two shots
Just being here was worth it though. My fourth visit but by far the best without the all the people; so tranquil.
It is all about timing sometimes. The focus maybe isn’t pincer sharp however, this was taken the morning after storm Brian. It was still extremely gusty and the clouds were still insisting on sharing their content with us in Cardiff. A few minutes earlier there had been some rain and the frequent gusts of wind made getting a decent capture of these delicate late flowering honeysuckle. Multiple shots of out of focus leaves and or flowers were had, but there were a couple of photos where the timing between the gusts were acceptable.
Thanks for stopping, I suspect that today I won’t and timing for me today will be an abstract concept.
I was advised quickly by some loyal contacts that there was some kind of marks on my upload yesterday. I never did see what you did and have no idea what caused whatever it was. Thus, I deleted it. But I thank you all for pointing it out. As you know, I am anything but a photographer and certainly not a technocrat on any level. I've never even had a cell phone. So the chances of me discovering what may have caused the problem are nil. Too bad, because I liked the photo and apologize for the deletion to those of you who commented and faved. However, it was obviously not what I thought it was.
To test as to whether this is a permanent flaw in some part of my process, I've uploaded a SOOC photo of Star and myself approaching the shore in a rowboat on the lake in the rain. Please let me know if you see anything which would lead you to believe the contrary. Remember this is absolutely SOOC. I appreciate your continued observations.
yet more red Aster.
All the colours are great however the red of the Asters is SUPER!
How can I resist them, so vibrant, pure eye candy.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments... M, (*_*)

The Cathedral of Theodosius of Chernigov is one of the youngest temples in Kiev, however, during its existence, it managed to turn into one of the city's attractions.
The history of the temple of Theodosius of Chernigov begins in 1986, when settlers from Chernobyl and Pripyat, cities affected by the Chernobyl disaster, began to come to the Belichi residential area. New settlers had to become parishioners of the Church of St. John the Baptist, but its size did not allow everyone to visit it, and another church simply did not exist here. For this reason, the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident and their family members drew up a petition to the authorities, which indicated the need to perpetuate the memory of the victims. Only in 1994, at the place where Chernobylskaya Street and Pobedy Avenue intersect, erected a monument consecrated by Metropolitan Volodymyr.
At the same time, an idea was expressed to build a chapel named after the patron saint of the liquidators of the accident, Theodosius of Chernigov. In April 2001, the foundation stone of the future church was solemnly laid. At first, it was planned to erect a relatively small building, only 3x5 meters, but gradually the plan changed and as a result a real temple was obtained, capable of accommodating 200 people at a time, although, according to community members, this is completely insufficient. Officially, the temple began its work in September 2002, but even during the construction, various rituals were held.
Since most of the parishioners of the church are in one way or another connected with the accident at a nuclear power plant, among the people of Kiev it is often called “Chernobyl”

First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.
Hello my beautiful people!! how are u? I hope you are well, I missed you <3
Well, this description will be somewhat different, since I write for you and some of my sponsors.
First of all, a thousand apologies for being sooo inactive, my flickr was suspended due to the new rules and I had to wait almost a week for the problem to be solved.
Second, I've had to delete almost all of my photos from old to some new (in this case, the ones I felt didn't meet the “safe” standard).
And third and last, I will be making posts a little less constant because my university scheduled me in the afternoon and I hardly have much time between jobs, projects and exams, because I have to redo my schedules and get used to it. However, after so many obstacles I am still encouraged and always committed to continue making my posts, always giving my best. I hope you can understand and that, despite this, you continue to trust me to be a blogger ♥️ Without further ado, I hope you all have a nice and excellent day, thanks for stopping to read.
After this short but long commercial break , today, I bring you one of several new photos that I hope you like and give it many likes, comment what you think, follow me (i follow back :x) and share with your friends, it would help me a lot to continue growing and improving to be a better blogger every day <3
I love you very much, keep taking care of yourselves and meet your daily goals my loves!!

Back in 1956 hood ornaments like on this 1956 Mercury were not even thought to be a deadly weapon when striking some poor pedestrian. It was all about beauty back them, however, that all changed in the years that followed. As a 15 year old at the time I have fond memories of the Sunday night television show, The Toast Of The Town, aka The Ed Sullivan Show which was sponsored by Lincoln Mercury, and drooling over all the commercials of "the latest models" from Mercury. The following from Wiki is a little history of the show:
From 1948 until its cancellation in 1971, the show ran on CBS every Sunday night from 8–9 p.m. Eastern Time, and is one of the few entertainment shows to have run in the same weekly time slot on the same network for more than two decades.
Virtually every type of entertainment appeared on the show; classical musicians, opera singers, popular recording artists, songwriters, comedians, ballet dancers, dramatic actors performing monologues from plays, and circus acts were regularly featured. The format was essentially the same as vaudeville and, although vaudeville had undergone a slow demise for a generation, Sullivan presented many ex-vaudevillians on his show.
Originally co-created and produced by Marlo Lewis, the show was first titled Toast of the Town, but was widely referred to as The Ed Sullivan Show for years before September 25, 1955, when that became its official name. In the show's June 20, 1948 debut, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performed along with singer Monica Lewis and Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II previewing the score to their then-new show South Pacific, which opened on Broadway in 1949.
From 1948 through 1962, the program's primary sponsor was the Lincoln-Mercury Division of the Ford Motor Company; Sullivan read many commercials for Mercury vehicles live on the air during this period.
The Ed Sullivan Show was originally broadcast via live television from CBS-TV studio 51, the Maxine Elliott Theatre, at Broadway and 39th St. before moving to its permanent home at CBS-TV Studio 50 in New York City (1697 Broadway, at 53rd Street), which was renamed the Ed Sullivan Theater on the occasion of the program's 20th anniversary in June 1968. The last original Sullivan show telecast (#1068) was on March 28, 1971, with guests Melanie, Joanna Simon, Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass and Sandler and Young.

The sun rises behind a bank of clouds on this day in the south of Sri Lanka, but higher up there is a window through which the sun's rays can illuminate the even higher dark cloud. However, this is very one-sided. Apparently, the lowest cloud bank blocks an even illumination of the upper clouds. Very peculiar!
The Spitfire Mk VIII was considered by Jeffrey Quill, Chief Spitfire Test Pilot, to be the 'best' Spitfire. However, the Mk IX, which was basically a re-engined Mk V, was rushed into production ahead of the superior Mk VIII as the latter required factories to be retooled for manufacture. The Mk IX was urgently needed to counter the Luftwaffe FW-190s which outperformed the Mk V Spitfires.
Somewhere...I just don’t remember. However, the only thing that I remember is that it was not an easy place to get down from the side of the narrow one lane road. Plus, there was some light rain going on and we had to walked in mud and puddles of water to get to the spot where I could take this picture...and it is not even what I had in mind. However, it is what I got.
Lying, dishonesty and political manipulation are nothing new. In the age of digital mass communication, however, these machinations have become endemic. The war in Ukraine is also a war of mis/information and this war is going on daily across all our media. Some of us may feel helpless when it comes to separating truth from falsehood. But we are not that helpless. Whenever we are confronted with a political message, we can ask one basic question: who is talking and what question is being asked (and, usually) answered? This will help to detect the “agenda” of the message, identify its argument and understand the claim that has been made. If we wish to go deeper into the analysis, we can try to identify also the underlying assumptions of the message, check the evidence that has been quoted and see whether or not the message makes sense. We are not that helpless. We can be skeptical and make distinctions. We can reject what is false and keep what is true.
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
