Saw this Kestrel with my Niece back in July on the Boardwalk that during the Summer is very busy. The bird seemed weakened and the curiosity of people was certainly causing distress. SEPNA (they are a branch of the Police that protects Nature and helps wild animals).was called to pick it up but there was too much people surrounding it and eventually the bird was able to fly away.All I can hope is that all turned out well for this bird Cheers everyone.

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m), but during the rainy season this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
I have some pretty gorgeous windows in my bedroom and every morning I wake to towering gums, ancient emerald green tree ferns. Little lime breasted finches sing to me and I watch the crimson coloured rosellas dance back and forth across the trees but yet, this view, my still little person, is still the one that catches my breath every morning. Nothing more precious than waking to find a soft body curled into your side. Love my little chicken. And love that bed hair!

A fishing vessel is caught in the reflection of the setting sun in the awesome yellow, orange and deep red sunset in West Vancouver, BC. The golden orb of the sun was just huge at this moment and the sky was literally blood red! I took about 450 photos of the sunsets because the sky and colours were changing so rapidly!! Lol!! I was very lucky on this single evening to get these amazing shots; have never had this experience before, even when living in the area years ago.
Taken straigth from the camera, no editing other than a slight crop.
She stood, waiting. The morning chill was fresh in her nostrils and the beat of the waterfall was prominent in her ears. She thought back to the early days when she and her husband had lived happily in this little cottage. She thought of the months they had spent building it, the seasons they had spent sowing seed and harvesting the crops. She remembered the cold winters and the hot summers spent with him, they had been times of peace. But that was before the war came.
Her husband had marched of to do his duty for the kingdom, and she hadn't heard from him since. Four years on, the war having now ended, she waited. Everyday she listened intently for the sound of a horse's hooves to drift along the stone path, for the familiar tune her beloved had always whistled. She was hopeful. She was sure that he would have survived the war - how could he not? He was a strong man. At the end of each day when he had not returned, she kept up her faith, hoping that tomorrow would be the day. "He will come", she told herself. "In time, he will come".

So, long time no build! I actually started this sometime last year, (early last month :P) but only just got around to finishing it. Hope you enjoy!
Have a great weekend. I have been so busy I haven't had any Flickr time. I went out yesterday with some friends. Just a lovely day, not much for photo shooting so came home and took this shot in my garden.

Falter bei der Nektaraufnahme. Den Saugrüssel tief in die Blüte eingetaucht. Schwierig zu fotografieren, weil ständig in Bewegung und wenig Licht.

In my infinite wisdom (and the stupidity that comes with heat-waves) I did not download my camera for two days, and forgetting this, wiped the memory card this afternoon. Soooooooo, yeah. That happened. There was nothing particularly good on there, but still.
In the still-chilly air of a Tennessee morning, two Southern ladies put on a smoke show while nearby NS trains try to keep up with their air horns.
Street Vendor Belts. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A rack of belts at a street market in Florence, Italy.
I photographed this rack of (presumably knockoff) belts in all colors and textures along a bustling and crowded street market outside of the Mercato Centrale building in Florence. Given the heavy tourist traffic in this city, I suppose that it is no surprise that these outdoor market is extensive and crowded. I’ll likely share other photographs later than show the market itself, unlike this one which is really just about the colors and shapes of what is on this rack.
These markets are in pretty much every European city that we have visited — from Italy to Kosovo — and especially in those oriented to tourist traffic. I have mixed feelings about them. On one hand, they seem to employ a lot of folks, and if you are careful you can probably get some stuff for very low prices. On the other hand, there’s a lot of items of questionable vintage, and if you think you are getting something of great value, well, just be careful!

La basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme venne costruita sulle rovine di una villa imperiale iniziata da Settimio Severo e terminata da Eliogabalo nel III secolo.
La villa venne privata di alcune sue parti dalla costruzione delle mura aureliane nel 272 d.C.. All'inizio del IV secolo il palazzo fu scelto come residenza da Elena, madre di Costantino, con il nome di Palazzo Sessoriano. Fu dietro sua iniziativa che venne trasformata in basilica cristiana la grande aula rettangolare, originariamente coperta da un soffitto piano, illuminata da venti finestre collocate cinque su ogni lato e con pregevole decorazione marmorea nel registro inferiore.
La facciata attuale, caratterizzata da una alternanza dai volumi concavi e convessi, risale al Settecento, così come l'atrio ellettico, facenti parte della grande stagione della Roma barocca.
