Noi umani siamo osservatori grossolani, anche in ragione di sensi di efficienza assai inferiore a quelli di numerose specie animali, ma soprattutto per l'incorreggibile superficialità che ci distingue. Questi alberi, questi cipressi, ad esempio, sembrano a prima vista tutti uguali. Invece sono tutti diversi: ciascuno, proprio come accade agli individui della nostra specie, esprime la propria individualità ..... ..
Audubon’s Oriole is primarily a species of both coasts of Mexico, with a small population in southern Texas, USA. This individual was seen at the Salineno Birding Area near the Rio Grande, in keeping with a preference for riparian areas.
These individuals were photographed in close proximity in the same space and time, but on different perches. The plumages are a bit different, but according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"Great Horned Owls are mottled gray-brown, with reddish brown faces and a neat white patch on the throat. Their overall color tone varies regionally from sooty to pale".
Females are also slightly larger than males, but without a shot of these together, it is impossible to tell which is which.

en estos dias estoy aprendiendo sobre las individualidades, hacer lo que uno quiere sin perder la perspectiva de trabajar en conjunto.
necesitamos aprender a no opacar el brillo de los demas, y menos a una persona a quien quieres tanto y con la que estas formando un equipo...

In case anyone wants a better look at the two from that mating pair I posted recently, here they are with individual portraits- female on the left, male on the right. They favored the same perch, although I flipped the female around so they would face each other. Siskiyou County, California
As Thaipusam festival gets underway, devotees flood into the preparation site to have their bodies marked with holy ash to invoke the support of the Hindu gods. Energy is high and queues can be lengthly but in each line of people are individuals taking moments to reflect upon the elements of life that bring our communities together.
Harris’s Sparrow has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Near Threatened www.iucnredlist.org/species/22721082/179974375
The Harris’s Sparrow has the distinction of being the only bird species whose breeding range is found entirely in Canada. It nests in northern latitudes from near Churchill, northern Manitoba, to the shore of the Arctic Ocean near Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. These birds spend the North American winter in southcentral USA. This nonbreeding individual was seen in a residential neighbourhood of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in early October — which would be late autumn for many species, but we’re talking about a creature with Canuck heritage…

Western Tiger Swallowtail
Papilio rutulus Lucas, 1852
These butterflies are very hard to capture. They usually don't stay in one area very long. Today I was lucky to have this individual stay at the same flowering bush for 15 minutes. Then it was gone.
Hazelnut catkins (male flower), produce the pollen that fertilizes the female flowers. This is done by the wind spreading the pollen. Trees have both male and female flowers, but the trees cannot self-pollinate, so the wind has to carry pollen over to another tree. When it gets there, it goes dormant for months while the flower continues to develop, then the pollen wakes up to finally fertilize the tree. Weird huh!

Another image showing the tail is in the first comment section.
Ctenosaura quinquecarinata, commonly known as the club tail iguana or the five-keeled spiny-tailed iguana is a species of lizard in the Iguanidae family endemic to Central America.
The tail on this species is heavily armored with five rings of spines forming longitudinal ridges. Males of the species grow to a length of 35 centimeters (14 in) whereas females attain 18.5 centimeters (7.3 in). Like most Ctenosaura the iguanas are born a bright green color fading to brown as the animal ages. The females tend to turn a uniform drab brown in color, and males develop tones of black, blue and yellow on their bodies and heads over the brown background.
Total population size is not known, but it is estimated that there may be fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. It is threatened by habitat loss through deforestation, overcollection through an unregulated exploitation for the pet trade, and it is even hunted by humans as a food item. – Wikipedia

One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.

Deutschland / Sachsen-Anhalt - Harz
Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall)
Teufelsmauer (Großvaterfelsen)
The Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) is a rock formation made of hard sandstones of the Upper Cretaceous in the northern part of the Harz Foreland in central Germany. This wall of rock runs from Blankenburg (Harz) via Weddersleben and Rieder to Ballenstedt. The most prominent individual rocks of the Teufelsmauer have their own names. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben is also called the Adlersklippen ("Eagle Crags").
Many legends and myths have been woven in order to try to explain the unusual rock formation. It was placed under protection as early as 1833 and, in 1852, by the head of the district authority in order to prevent quarrying of the much sought-after sandstone. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben has been protected since 1935 as a nature reserve and is thus one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany.
The band of rock that forms the Teufelsmauer outcrops at three places between Ballenstedt in the southeast and Blankenburg (Harz) in the northwest, over a distance of 20 km. It begins with an outcrop known as the Gegensteine northwest of Ballenstedt and is continued in the shape of the Teufelsmauer which runs from south of Weddersleben to Warnstedt. Here, the formations of the Königstein, the Mittelsteine and the Papensteine rear up from a line of rock about 2 km long running from southeast to northwest. Away to the northwest it continues as a ridge between Timmenrode and Blankenburg (Harz) which includes the Hamburger Wappen, the Heidelberg (331.5 m above NN) and the crags of the Großvater and Großmutter (317 m above NN).
The rock formations of the Teufelsmauer are all accessible by footpath. They are among the attractions of the towns of Thale and Blankenburg. In order to conserve protected plant species, it has become necessary to implement measures for visitor management in the Teufelsmauer nature reserve. The rocks may be reached from hiking trails and vantage points are protected by safety railings. Several of the rocks in the Teufelsmauer at Blankenburg may be climbed.
There are checkpoints in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking system at various points along the Teufelsmauer: at Gasthaus Großvater, the inn below the Großvater rocks, (no. 76), by the Hamburger Wappen (no. 74) and on the south side of the ridge at Teufelsmauer Weddersleben (no. 188).
The formations feature in the film "Frantz" by François Ozon.

Die Teufelsmauer im Landkreis Harz in Sachsen-Anhalt ist eine aus harten Sandsteinen der oberen Kreide bestehende Felsformation im nördlichen Harzvorland, die auf etwa 20 km Länge von Ballenstedt über Rieder und Weddersleben bis nach Blankenburg (Harz) verläuft. Zahlreiche herausragende Einzelfelsen tragen Eigennamen. Die Teufelsmauer bei Weddersleben wird auch Adlersklippen genannt.
Viele Sagen und Mythen haben sich gebildet, um die Besonderheit dieses Ortes erklärbar zu machen. Er wurde daher bereits 1833 sowie 1852 durch den Landrat unter Schutz gestellt, um den Abbau des begehrten Bausandsteins zu unterbinden. Die Teufelsmauer bei Weddersleben ist seit 1935 als Naturschutzgebiet Teufelsmauer und Bode nordöstlich Thale ausgewiesen und zählt damit zu den ältesten Naturschutzgebieten Deutschlands.
Der Harznordrand mit der Teufelsmauer wurde 2006 in die Liste der 77 ausgezeichneten Nationalen Geotope aufgenommen.
Die Felsrippe der Teufelsmauer tritt im Naturpark Harz/Sachsen-Anhalt zwischen Ballenstedt im Südosten und Blankenburg (Harz) im Nordwesten auf 20 km Länge an drei Stellen zu Tage. Sie beginnt mit den Gegensteinen nordwestlich von Ballenstedt. Ihre Fortsetzung findet sich in der Teufelsmauer nördlich Neinstedts und südlich Wedderslebens, wo sich auf zwei Kilometer Länge von Südosten nach Nordwesten der Königstein, die Mittelsteine und die Papensteine aneinanderreihen; zwischen Neinstedt und Weddersleben fließt die Bode als weithin größter Fluss der Gegend durch die Felsformation. Nach Nordwesten hin, vorbei an Warnstedt, setzt sich der felsige Höhenzug zwischen Timmenrode und Blankenburg mit dem Hamburger Wappen, der Gewittergrotte, dem Froschfelsen und dem Heidelberg (331,5 m ü. NHN), Großvaterfelsen (317,1 m ü. NHN) und Großmutterfelsen fort.
Die Felsbänder der Teufelsmauer sind jeweils durch Wanderwege erschlossen. Sie gehören zu den Attraktionen der Städte Thale und Blankenburg. Den Kammweg vom Hamburger Wappen bis zum Großvaterfelsen ließ 1853 der Blankenburger Bürgermeister Carl Löbbecke anlegen, zu dessen Andenken am Löbbecke-Felsen eine gusseiserne Gedenktafel errichtet wurde; dieser Wegabschnitt trägt auch den Beinamen Löbbeckestieg. Der Abschnitt Timmenrode–Blankenburg des Europäischen Fernwanderwegs E11 verläuft entlang der Felsformation.
Zum Schutz geschützter Pflanzenarten sind im Naturschutzgebiet Teufelsmauer Maßnahmen zur Besucherlenkung notwendig geworden. Die Felsbereiche sind von den Wanderwegen aus zu erleben, die vielerorts mit Barrieren gesichert sind.
An einer Stelle der Teufelsmauer zwischen Neinstedt und Weddersleben gibt es mit Nr. 188 (♁⊙) eine Stempelstelle im System der Harzer Wandernadel; weitere Stempelstellen entlang der Mauer befinden sich bei Timmenrode am Hamburger Wappen (Nr. 74) und bei Blankenburg unterhalb des Großvaterfelsen am Gasthaus Großvater (Nr. 76; ♁⊙).
An allen Felserhebungen der Teufelsmauer entlang führt zwischen Ballenstedt und Blankenburg der Teufelsmauerstieg, der im August 2009 als 35 km langer Wanderweg eingeweiht wurde.
Mehrere der Felsen der Teufelsmauer bei Blankenburg sind zum Klettern freigegeben.
Die eigentümliche Felsformation ist seit den 1960er Jahren eine beliebte Kulisse für zahlreiche – insbesondere im Mittelalter angesiedelte – Filme. Zu DDR-Zeiten drehte die DEFA hier zahlreiche Filme wie:
Fünf Patronenhülsen (1960)
Die Söhne der großen Bärin (1966)
Hans Röckle und der Teufel (1974)
Der lange Ritt zur Schule (1982)
Nach der Deutschen Wiedervereinigung diente die Teufelsmauer für nationale und internationale Filmproduktionen als Motiv:
1½ Ritter – Auf der Suche nach der hinreißenden Herzelinde mit Til Schweiger (2008)
Die Päpstin (2009)

Der Großvater, auch als Großvaterfelsen bezeichnet, ist eine etwa 317 m ü. NN hohe, markante Felsformation am westlichen Ende der Teufelsmauer im nördlichen Harzvorland bei Blankenburg im Landkreis Harz, Sachsen-Anhalt. Er gilt als ein Wahrzeichen Blankenburgs.
Auf den Großvater führt ein auf seiner Südseite beginnender steiler Aufstieg. Der Gipfel dient als Aussichtspunkt und ist durch Geländer gesichert. Dort befindet sich auch eine Wetterfahne mit der Jahreszahl 1998.
Südlich des Großvaters befindet sich das Gasthaus Großvater, das als Nr. 76 in das System der Stempelstellen der Harzer Wandernadel einbezogen ist. Vom Großvater aus nach Osten führen Wanderwege, die dem Kamm der Teufelsmauer folgen, darunter auch der Kammweg, der direkt auf dem Kamm entlangführt.
Ein Felsen mit dem Namen Großmutter liegt etwas westlich des Großvaters.
