A cormorant in flight at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding center in Port Aransas, Texas. I'm pretty sure it is a Neotropic Cormorant - there is a flock of those that live in the area, but it is too high to get a good look at the head.
While pretty much rooted to home in another lockdown I thought I'd root through my previous holiday photos and post some that haven't seen the light of day on Flickr before,
I've posted a couple of pictures on here of Manarola but this is my first one in B&W. Taken on my second trip there on our holiday in 2019 before the sun set. This is the view of the town looking in the opposite direction from the previous sunset shot. It was shot about half way up the hill opposite the town on the footpath under the overhanging trees. The clouds would later come over and the seas would get a lot rougher as the evening went on.

For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "In Ice".
HMM!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Hallo Ihr lieben Daheimgebliebenen !
Als wir die Äpfel aufgegessen hatten, wanderten wir weiter bis zum Spiegelsee. Bärbel hat versucht sich darin zu sehen und wäre dabei fast hinein gefallen !! 😛
Viele liebe Grüße,
Luis und Bärbel
PS: Bärbel sagt ich soll noch schreiben, sie hätte eh gut aufgepasst und es wäre höchstens ihre Sonnenbrille ins Wasser gefallen.

Hello everyone who stayed at home !
When we had eaten the apples, we walked on to the Spiegelsee (=Mirror Lake). Bärbel tried to see herself in it and almost fell in !! 😛
Love and greetings,
Luis and Bärbel
PS: Bärbel says I should write that she was paying attention anyway and that at most her sunglasses would have fallen into the water.

I am at a hotel outside of Seattle, for a mini-vacation. I can't imagine with the hotel staff with think when they look up and see this bright green, cantaloupe sized thingy in my window on a towel cushion (so it can't roll off the sill.)
I found it in one of my favorite garden nurseries, in a dark corner where everything was glowing under black lights. Supposedly, if left in the sun, it will glow in the dark after I hang it on my porch. My hummingbirds will probably freak out! I am going to leave it sitting in the hotel window all day tomorrow, while I run around, and see the sights. Maybe it will light up the hotel room tomorrow night :)))) One can only hope for such cheap thrills!
The other week, I was on a stroll on a rather summery March day, when a rose bush covered in blooms in multiple colours caught my eye so much that I had to cross a busy road to take a closer look at it. The single bush was displaying roses in shades of pale yellow with pink edges, vibrant pink, carmine and orange. Luckily I had my camera with me, as I usually do in case I see something I like, and I photographed some of the blooms. Whilst I was doing so, the owner returned home from shopping. We chatted and I asked her what variety it was. She said that she didn’t know, but that it had been part of the garden when she bought the house some two decades ago. After doing a bit of research, I think it might be a Desert Peace rose.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” is “Flowers in March”, where any flower is welcome, so long as the photo was taken in March. Luckily in Melbourne, there are often Indian Summer days that stretch into March, and there are always flowers in gardens. I could have chosen any flowers, but I chose this one in particular for its beauty, and because I saw it on the 16th of March, which was the day I saw the theme in the discussion thread. This week’s theme is also in honour of “Smile on Saturday” member, Marcy Schrum, who passed away in December last year. She liked beautiful flowers, so I hope she would have liked it and that it makes a fitting tribute. I hope that you like it too, that it brightens your Saturday and makes you smile.
The “Desert Peace” rose is a hybrid tea rose with yellow blend blooms, with pink edges. It was produced by Meilland International in France in 1991.
Rising up, rising high
Filling the hole in the sky
Spreading the clouds
Spreading them wide
Slipping deep , deep inside
The opened hole, up in the sky
That swallows the hardness thrusting high
From a drive in the countryside. I pulled over and actually shot this from the car. Getting a bit lazy, huh...

Getting Swallows in flight is a challenge for me. I shoot in their general direction taking aim as best I can, hoping for the best. Sometimes my hopes are realized!!!

In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20
In the haunted forest, the trees they talk
The birds they cry, the ghosts they walk
Lovers are held close in the mist
Hearts beat fast, lips are kissed
Mystery swirls through the trees
Blown by fates ever changing breeze
Animals hide, as ghosts they walk
In the haunted forest, where the trees they talk
An impressive panoramic view after a somewhat short hike. I wasn't expecting that at all, such a nice surprise!
The spectacular globe in the center of the Hall of Geographical Maps, with its approximately 220 cm in diameter, is the oldest large globe to survive today. The first documentary information on the globe dates back to the beginning of 1564, when from a letter sent by Giorgio Vasari to Giovanni Caccini on 29 January we learn that the latter had sent him the "appamondo" from Pisa by river. The globe was created by monk Egnazio Danti who had already worked on 30 geographical tables and, once finished, it is very likely that it was not placed in the Wardrobe Room, as it was not mentioned in the palace inventories of 1570 and 1574. Immediately placed in Palazzo Pitti where it appears present in an inventory of 1587, it passed together with the other scientific artefacts of the Uffizi Gallery, in 1775 it passed into the Museum of Ancient Instruments annexed to the Specola of Florence and only in 1958, after other vicissitudes, did it reach its original location in the Hall of Geographical Maps of Palazzo Vecchio.
