The Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is also called the European siskin, common siskin or just siskin.
It is very common throughout Europe and Asia. It is found in forested areas, both coniferous and mixed woodland where it feeds on seeds of all kinds
It can be distinguished from other similar finches by the color of the plumage. The upper parts are greyish green and the under parts grey-streaked white. Its wings are black with a conspicuous yellow wing bar, and the tail is black with yellow sides. The male has a mainly yellow face and breast, with a neat black cap. Female and young birds have a greyish green head and no cap. It is a trusting, sociable and active bird. The song of this bird is a pleasant mix of twitters and trills. For these reasons it is often raised in captivity.
These birds have an unusual migration pattern as every few years in winter they migrate southwards in large numbers.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Ennerdale Water is the most westerly lake in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. It is a glacial lake, with a maximum depth of 150 feet, and is up to one mile wide and two and a half miles long.
The lake lies in the eponymous valley of Ennerdale, surrounded by some of the highest and best-known fells in Cumbria including: Great Gable (2,950 feet high)), Green Gable, Brandreth, High Crag, Steeple and Pillar. To the west of the lake lies the hamlet of Ennerdale Bridge, which is close to the port of Whitehaven.
Ennerdale Water is fed by the River Liza and other streams, and in turn feeds the River Ehen, which runs to the Irish Sea. The lake is owned by United Utilities, which formerly extracted water to serve customers in the Whitehaven area. This is now supplied from Thirlmere.
Uno scatto panoramico dalla vetta della Sighignola, una cima al confine tra Italia e Svizzera.
In primo piano le luci dei paesi svizzeri che si affacciano sul lago di Lugano (molto riconoscibile l'abitato di Melide, di forma triangolare): in lontananza le luci della pianura piemontese e sullo sfondo l'inconfondibile sagoma del Monviso.

Our backyard is full of Lady Bugs this year. We have lots of aphids so there is plenty of food for them to feast on. We also have lots of finches too which I suspect are eating the lady bugs.

April is one of my favorite months, the weather is not too hot yet and it is not cold either, the afternoons are usually cool, which is why I decided to walk for a while along the coast, watching the seagulls fly through the air while I clear my head of the stress of the city.
River Frome, Stroud.
The Dipper is a short-tailed, stout bird with a low, whirring flight. When perched on a rock, it bobs up and down and often sticks its tail up. Its white throat and breast contrasts with its dark body plumage. It's a daring hunter, walking into and under water in search of food. (RSPB).
A flashback to earlier in the year. June 2024. Where these Dippers live is always in the shade of the trees so it can be quite tricky getting a reasonable shot. Dropping the shutter speed so low (hand held) and hoping a bird that is constantly bouncing will stay still just long enough to get at least one sharp photo!
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Département des Hautes Alpes (05). Massif du Dévoluy. Photo prise lors d'une rando en aller-retour effectuée en solo, au départ du Parking du Chalet des Baumes (1560m), situé sur la route entre le Col de la Samblue et le Col des Faïsses. Je suis monté jusqu'au sommet sans nom d'altitude 2107m à l'extrémité nord-est de la Crête de la Laisse et à l'est du sommet du Bénitier (2036m), en passant par le Pas du Vallon (1896m).
La Grande Tête de l'Obiou (2789m), ou plus simplement l'Obiou est le point culminant mais aussi le sommet emblématique du Massif du Dévoluy, le Seigneur du Dévoluy, le Maître du Dévoluy. Et sur ce cliché, ça tombe bien car on pourrait presque dire qu'il est coiffé d'une belle couronne de nuages. 😉
Tout au long de la randonnée, j'avais un magnifique point de vue sur la face nord-ouest de l'Obiou et sur le Petit Obiou. Et sur la fin de la rando, entre le Bénitier et la Crête de la Laisse, j'avais une vue superbe sur le cirque pierreux de la Combe du Petit Obiou qui sépare l'Obiou et le Petit Obiou, sur le versant nord de l'arête qui les relie. Ces 2 sommets et cette combe sont fascinants et attirent inlassablement le regard.
Pour éviter l'orage, j'ai dû précipiter le mouvement. Du coup, j'étais déjà revenu à la voiture à 13h55 alors que je l'avais quittée à peine 4h plus tôt, vers 10h. 😂 Mais ça m'a suffi pour faire de belles photos souvenir que je revois avec un grand plaisir. 😊
At last, we have finally received a measurable snowfall. It is 7:45 AM, and it looks like we have received 6 inches so far - and the snow continues to fall.
It is eerily silent outside. So quiet in fact - that you can hear that proverbial pin drop.
The animals must be settled into their hidey holes to wait out the storm, so Doc will not need to hurry out to the feeder stations this morning.
Because of the warm weather here in Alaska, bears are still roaming many areas of the state and people have recently been mauled by them. Hopefully the cooler weather and the snow will drive them into their dens.
In this photo you see our trusty old one ton truck blanketed in white, while the temperature sits at 17 degrees F. with no wind.
Joensuu is a small town in Finland. It's name translates to: rivermouth or Joe'smouth :-) Sorry about the low resolution. Image got destroyed by some of the post processing apps I used last night :-)
What a day.. to be in this place and enjoy the view is not easy to describe. Maybe with this photo you get part of the picture... Minimalist-Silhouette-Landscape Portrait. Love it.. Bagan Temples, in Myanmar.
This is why one day I may leave Pentax.... I can't shot in High Sensibility... 800 was my maximum value... I hope one day they will improve the noise management on their cameras :)
I sill find this shot artistic so I shared it with you :)
De Sint-Quintinuskathedraal, toegewijd aan Quintinus, is in het centrum van Hasselt gelegen. De Sint-Quintinuskerk werd kathedraal bij de oprichting van het bisdom Hasselt in 1967. Tot dan waren de inwoners van de provincie Limburg leden van het bisdom Luik. Ze is tegelijkertijd parochiekerk van de Sint-Quintinusparochie. Het kathedraalkoor luistert er de pontificale vieringen op.
Geschiedenis
Met de bouw werd in de 11e eeuw begonnen. Uit die tijd stamt de uit ijzerzandsteen opgetrokken onderbouw van de toren (62 m hoog). Voor de rest is voor de toren mergel gebruikt (13e eeuw). De kerk zelf, zoals ze nu bestaat, is twee eeuwen jonger.
In de 16e eeuw bouwde men rond het reeds bestaande koor een omgang met vier kapellen.
Als rond 1560 hagenprekers uit Nederland in het prinsbisdom het protestantisme uitdroegen leidde Gerard van Groesbeek het verzet. Op 19 januari 1567 kreeg de kerk te maken met de Beeldenstorm en samen met Maaseik verklaarde deze stad zich kortstondig onafhankelijk. Sacramentshuis, beelden, zijaltaren en het hoogaltaar werden vernield. Gerard wist de orde te herstellen.
Zondagnamiddag 14 mei 1725 rond 19 uur sloeg de bliksem in op de torenspits, die vervolgens brandend door het noordwestelijk dakgebindte naar beneden viel. Hierbij werden beiaard, dak en orgel van de kathedraal vernield.
Nog datzelfde jaar werd de nieuwe, huidige torenspits op de toren geplaatst. Een restauratie volgde in de 19e eeuw en men plaatste neogotische glasramen. Enkele schilderijen komen uit de Abdij van Herkenrode. De Hasseltse kunstschilder Godfried Guffens versierde de kathedraal met muurschilderingen. Ze is voorzien van een beiaard.
De Sint-Quintinuskathedraal is sinds 1933 een beschermd erfgoed.
Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek ("Nine stacked Svastikas"). Though only 6714 m high, it stands quite alone like a great white sentinel guarding the main routes into Tibet from India and Nepal in the south and west.
Traditionally a pilgrim undertakes the 52-km trekking cirquit or circumambulation (khorlam) around Mount Kailash commencing at Darchen (4575 m) and crossing the 5630 m Dolma La pass on the second day of the three-day walk. This is followed by a trek of the same duration around the beautiful turquiose Lake Manasarovar known in the Tibetan language as Mapham Yutso མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།
This is what I found when I got home from my food shopping today. Needless to say the cheese sandwich I was making was minus the lettuce.
The supermarket wasn't to blame, although I could have sent a photo of it 'snail mail'. LOL
Apologies for accidentally deleting this image a little while ago.
the snow is almost gone... we went for a 2-1/2 hour walk yesterday and today too. crossing my fingers that spring has finally arrived!

Elevation
4,200 feet at the shore. Frary Peak is the island’s highest point at 6,596 feet.
History
John C. Fremont and Kit Carson made the first known Anglo exploration of Antelope Island in 1845. The Island was named after the explorers observed several pronghorn antelope grazing on the rangelands.
Fielding Garr established the first permanent residence on the island in 1848. The ranch house he built is the oldest Anglo-built structure in Utah still on its original foundation.
The island and ranch passed from owner to owner until 1981 when the State of Utah purchased the 28,000-ace island for a State Park.
Geology
Antelope Island is part of what is known as the Basin and Range, stretching from the Wasatch mountains on the east to the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the west. Antelope Island is the largest island on Great Salt Lake at just over 28,000 acres, stretching 15 miles long and about 5 miles wide.
The oldest exposed rocks on the island are from the Farmington Canyon Complex, called gneiss. These metamorphic rocks have been dated to 1.7 billion years old, and are the same age as rocks found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. These rocks can be seen on the southern two-thirds of the island.
Tintic Quartzite, found on the northern one-third of the island, is 550 million years old and was deposited in a shallow marine environment. This metamorphic rock can be seen around the Park’s visitor center, Lady Finger Point and Buffalo Point.
The youngest rocks on the island are tufa, a sedimentary rock deposited from concentrations of calcium carbonate during the time of Lake Bonneville. Tufa deposits typically resemble concrete and can be viewed from the Buffalo Point Trail.
Wildlife
Although surrounded by saltwater, Antelope Island has over 40 freshwater springs producing enough water to support the island’s abundant wildlife.
Bison are the most famous residents. Twelve animals were brought to the island in 1893 and were the foundation for today’s herd of 550 – 700. An annual bison roundup is held each fall to assess the health of the herd and sell extra animals.
Pronghorn antelope are native to Utah and to the island. These small, deer-like animals are the fastest animals in North America and can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
Mule deer and bighorn sheep are the other large herbivores on the island. Predators include coyotes, badgers, bobcats, and numerous birds of prey such as owls, hawks and falcons.
Is not a good shot, it was not easy to get good focus, but this is a very cute creature.

Trattienimi..
L'amore e' come questa vela immersa nel vento.
L'amore e' delicato, morbido e teso come questo filo
in equilibrio precario, saldo tra aria e gravita', tra forza e sospensione.. . tensione e dolcezza.

Don't Let Me Go.. .
Love is like this sail dipped in the wind.
Love is delicate, soft and stiff, love is like this thread in unstable equilibrium, balanced between air and gravity, force and suspension.. tension and sweet.

Esztergom (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɛstɛrɡom] is a city in northern Hungary, 46 kilometres (29 miles) northwest of the capital Budapest. It lies in Komárom-Esztergom county, on the right bank of the river Danube, which forms the border with Slovakia there.
Esztergom was the capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV of Hungary moved the royal seat to Buda. Esztergom is the seat of the prímás (see Primate) of the Roman Catholic Church in Hungary, and the former seat of the Constitutional Court of Hungary. The city has the Keresztény Múzeum, the largest ecclesiastical collection in Hungary. Its cathedral, Esztergom Basilica is the largest church in Hungary.

This is a beast of an animal, and probably The Boss of the herd.
Managed to capture during a fantastic few hours wandering around.
Tatton Park is home to two herds of wild deer: Red and Fallow.
It is fascinating to watch them throughout the year and see the changes they experience during that time. Here are some facts about our deer and a few fun activities for you to try at home or in the classroom.

This area of Upstate, NY is known for its beautiful waterfalls and gorges. In fact there's a saying here "ithaca Is Gorges!" It really is!!!
It's July 1, so here is #1 "The Canadian" over the famous CPR trestle in picturesque Parry Sound. They're down to a crawl speed so that visitors can enjoy the great views of the harbour and Georgian Bay as they approach the old CP station.
Meanwhile, the moose at Tailwinds looks on next to a floatplane sitting idle at the dock. Charter air tours can be booked here and you can even arrive for a meal in your boat with free docking available to customers. The patio is quiet for the moment, but will be packed as soon as schools close and cottage country fills up.
The odd configuration of the dome car first up behind the locomotives is VIA 88703 Banff Park which I believe deadheaded the entire way from Toronto to Vancouver. Fellow photographer Ryan Gaynor is also onboard and along for the ride to the west, taking in the scenes and no doubt behind the camera.
The elevator at Truax (pronounced "treks", I believe) was built in 1912 and is now privately owned. You can't see very well from this picture, but the tracks have mostly (but not completely) been pulled up. If you walk over them and look down you will see that the each rail fastener is stamped with the date June 3, 1913.
This is the last image from my springtime trip to Saskatchewan. For a trip that started as a Plan B (after the last-minute cancellation of my storm chasing trip this year) it turned out to be really wonderful and very productive trip. Thank you for all the favs and comments on these images in this series. They mean a lot to me.
Truax, Saskatchewan, Canada
I wrote a blog post about my springtime Saskatchewan trip that has some behind-the-scenes pics and stories which you might enjoy.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
At one time, grain elevators could be found every 8 to 10 miles along every railway line in western Canada. That allowed most farmers to make a round trip to an elevator to deliver and sell their grain with a horse and wagon in one day. From that elevator the grain would be shipped to ports on the Great Lakes or the west coast, across Canada and around the world. Grain elevators started appearing across the Prairies in the late 19th century, and the number of grain elevators peaked in 1938, when there were nearly 6,000 primary (country) elevators in the Prairie provinces. Many factors led to the decline of the primary elevator: the Depression, increased mechanization, improved roads for transportation, rural depopulation, the closing of branch lines of the railway and the buying out or merging of the grain companies and the building of large, concrete grain terminals. In 2023 there were only around 400 country elevators left in Saskatchewan and only about 100 are still in use. Many of the old, wooden elevators have been destroyed – burned down, struck by lightning, demolished - but some of them still remain - weathered but beautiful and stalwart.

This is part of the view on 17 Mile Drive, on the Monterey Peninsula. There are tons of beaches in California, but there are also a few very beautiful rugged places like this. A little south of Monterey is Big Sur, which is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the planet and it has a rugged coastline, like this. Most days you can see a lot of seals playing and sometimes a few dolphins leaping out of the water. It’s an idyllic and very beautiful place.
No train in Japan is more famous, nor more sought after, than JR Central and JR West's 923 Series, better known worldwide as "Doctor Yellow"
Originally built in 1998, these trains were rebuilt from the original 700 Series. Their role is to make sure the Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen routes are kept in peak condition through inspection. Each 923 series contains a myriad of track and overhead measurement equipment housed in 7 cars. Monitoring is done on board by a 9-person crew of railway technicians.
It is said here that seeing Doctor Yellow by chance is considered to bring good luck. At best, they'll operate 3-4 times a month. No official schedule exists, but there are unofficial ways to check if they're running, though by no means is it a guarantee. Regardless, I'm thrilled to finally see one for myself!

This is my first attempt at something called a “flatlay”! I’ve been wanting to try it for some time now, and decided today is the day....no Santa’s were harmed in the filming of this project, although some appear arthritic and old. That’s because they are! I love my vintage Santas, and think I’ve put them to good use.
