Ophrys sphegodes è una specie di orchidacea ampiamente diffusa, anche se non frequente, negli ambienti asciutti e luminosi della Pianura Veneta. I suoi fiori sono semplici, eleganti e asolutamente variabili, sia per forma che per combinazione cromatica. Anche se i toni sono generalmente bruni, la combinazione di colori e di decorazioni del labello esprime una sorta di individualità, che rende spesso diversi gli individui di una stessa popolazione. Un po' come accade agli uomini ..... ..
Taken for Our Daily Challenge (Topic: Begins with I)
A portrait of my beautiful friend, Kathryn. I have been playing around with texture a bit more since I got done with my physics homework super early this evening!! -I also wanted to get rid of everything in the rest of the photo- emphasizing just the presence of Kathryn.
Overall, it has been a completely wonderful day! :)
I hope it is okay that I did more of an idea rather than an object for the challenge, but that's sort of what I tend to like to do for the "begins with.." challenges. and hey! Idea even starts with an "i" ;)
Also- I just saw the new icon for the ODC group and I love it!! What a neat idea!! Does anyone know who created it?
Thanks to SkeletalMess for the texture!
in magaluf, the quiet narrative of "on the balcony" unfolds, where two figures engage in a silent exchange. seated across from one another, their posture speaks volumes – one leans forward, perhaps mid-conversation or lost in a book, while the other reclines, absorbed in thought or simply savoring the stillness. it's a scene of everyday life, yet it captures the essence of human connection without a word being uttered. the balconies, parallel stages of individual stories, hold a mirror to the tranquil pace of life, a reminder of the comfort found in one's own space, yet in subtle communion with another.
Mniotilta varia
Reinita Trepadora (Zebrita)
Historia Natural
Alimentación
Forrajea al trepar hacia arriba y abajo por los troncos y a lo largo de las ramas grandes, generalmente a buena distancia del suelo, mientras rebusca en la corteza insectos, sus huevos, y pupas y arañas. No utiliza la cola como soporte. En raras ocasiones revolotea para atrapar una presa de la superficie inferior de una rama.
Comportamiento
Son solitarios y evidentemente establecen territorios individuales durante el invierno, aunque algunos individuos a menudo acompañan a las bandadas mixtas de reinitas, verdillos, mieleros y otras aves pequeñas que forrajean por el dosel.
Ciclo anual
Es una especie migratoria neártica.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Habita prácticamente en cualquier matorral alto durante la migración, aunque en invierno prefiere los árboles de buen tamaño en el bosque, áreas parcialmente despejadas, de crecimiento secundario viejo, parques y jardines.
Distribución
Es una especie migratoria de otoño (principalmente entre fines de agosto a octubre) común esporádicamente, desde las bajuras hasta por lo menos los 2500 m. en ambas vertientes. Durante el invierno es residente de amplia distribución, aunque es poco común desde el nivel del mar hasta cerca de los 2000 m. Su centro de abundancia se localiza entre los 450 y los 1500 m. y es más numerosa en el lado del Pacífico, sobre todo a lo largo de la Cordillera de Guanacaste y la Cordillera de Talamanca. Emigra entre fines de marzo y mediados de abril.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se reproduce desde el noroeste y el este de Canadá hasta el sureste de E.U.A. Invierna desde el extremo sur de E.U.A. y las Antillas hasta el norte de América del Sur.

Robin
Robins are one of the only UK birds to be heard singing in the garden on Christmas day. This is because they hold their territories all year round, warning off intruders with song. Males may hold the same territory throughout their lives, and will even attack a bundle of red feathers or their own reflection if they mistake it for another individual.
Their melodious voices, along with their cheeky attitudes, have endeared robin red breasts to the British public, and in 1960 they were crowned the UK's national bird.

Wooden stairs that lead from the main walkway through Aberdeen Harbour and Footdee down to the beautiful sands of Fittie Beach, I use them every time I visit to access and leave the beach , today the light caressed them and gave me the opportunity to capture them with my Nikon.
Footdee is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland known locally as "Fittie". It is an old fishing village at the east end of the harbour. The name is actually folk etymology. Far from being "Foot of the Dee/Fit o the Dee", it is actually a corruption of a former dedication to a "St Fothan".
The area has had a settlement as far back as the Medieval times and the first recorded reference to the area of Fittie was in the year 1398. This village was slightly further North than where Footdee is now located. It would have been near to where the St Clement's Church is located.
Footdee is a particularly interesting example of a planned housing development purpose-built to re-house Aberdeen's local fishing community. Laid out in 1809 by John Smith, then Superintendent Of The Town's Public Works. Smith went on to establish himself as one of Aberdeen's key architects. Occupying an isolated spit of land to the SE of Aberdeen's city centre, its regimented squares have been described as a cross between the neo-classical aspirations of Aberdeen and the close-knit fishing communities of the north-east.
The two squares of 'Fish Town' (known as Footdee), originally contained 28 single-storey thatched houses although this increased when the later Middle Row (circa 1837) and Pilot Square (circa 1855) were added. The entrances on each of the North and South squares were filled in the 1870s by William Smith (son of John and architect of Balmoral Castle). He also added additional storeys to the East and West sides of South Square creating a tenement feel. This was an attempt to ease crowding resulting from an influx of fishing families from other less prosperous areas and to help try to enforce the 'one-house-one-family' rule.
The Town Council decided to start selling the dwellings to occupiers in 1880, beginning a period of incremental development and reconstruction. Additional storeys and dormers were added piecemeal by the new owners as funds allowed. The result is one of individuality expressed within the constraints of a strictly formal plan and is a contributing factor to the special architectural and historical interest of Footdee as a whole.
Throughout the 19th century, 'tarry sheds' were added to the communal land within the squares opposite each dwelling and now every dwelling has its own shed. Originally constructed from drift wood and other found materials, the sheds have been built and rebuilt in an idiosyncratic manner over the years in a variety of materials with rendered brick now predominating slightly (2006). Some timber built sheds remain, predominantly on the North side of North Square.
North Square Mission Hall occupies the central area of the North Square, reflecting its significance as an integral part of village life. The building is plain, with simple detailing throughout, and as such, responds sympathetically to its setting and context. Known locally as 'the schoolie' the hall was built for general as well as religious purposes and continues to operate as a multi-purpose meeting space.
The entire Footdee village was added to the statutory list in 1967 as a single entity. The village was subsequently given Conservation Area status in 1968. At resurvey in 2006, each building within the Conservation Area was re-assessed separately. Key examples, demonstrating both individual architectural interest and representing the history and development of the village as a whole, were selected for listing.
On an 1828 map, the new housing squares were specifically labelled 'Fish Town'. 'Footdee' referred to the larger area from St. Clement's Church to 'Fish Town'. Later, the name 'Footdee' was erroneously used to refer specifically to the housing squares, with 'Fish Town' becoming forgotten.
On Tuesday 25 September 2012, Footdee became covered in foam from the sea after experiencing strong wind and rain conditions. The effect was like a blanket of snow and this made the UK national news.
