King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.

"All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don’t care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it"

Albert I died after a fall from the rocks in Marche-les-Dames on February 17, 1934.
So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!

caught on the wing, then perched in order to flip and swallow it head first.
Day and night versions of Dubrovnik, the night version had to be lower because the Lovrijenac fort where I took the day photo was already closed, and I was standing at the top of the steps in front of the gate to the paid area. It was super windy in both cases. I wonder who will die in tonight's GOT episode.
The snow is falling and the sun sets at 4:30pm - so it seems fitting, at least for today to post a dark image. I had a good time with this crow, we sort of had a moment together. I love this pose, even with the head out of focus. The feathers look like a work of art - perhaps this is why I am so fascinated with birds:)
Have a lovely weekend! And I'm incredibly grateful for your visit:)
Male Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus, on Tropical Milkweed, Asclepias curassavica. Single image of the same individual who drifted in the breeze in the earlier artsy abstract, on the same plant that had earlier attracted our mystery wasp, both in the comments.
In Nature, everyone takes a turn. Happy Wing Wednesday!

Von allen historischen Bahnhöfen Londons hat King’s Cross die schönste Konstruktion – zwei einfache wie elegante Stahl- und Glasgewölbe überdachen die achtgleisigen Hallen.
Im Zuge der Vorbereitungen für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 2012 wurde das Londoner Architekturbüro John McAslan + Partners mit der Sanierung und baulichen Erweiterung der über die Jahre arg verkommenen Station beauftragt.
Weite Bereiche von King`s Cross sind denkmalgeschützt.
In zwei Bauabschnitten wurden die Bahnhofshallen gesäubert und neu verglast, sowie die beiden Western und Eastern Range Buildings behutsam saniert bzw. modernisiert.
Der dritte Bauabschnitt, und Höhepunkt der Baumaßnahmen, ist der Western Concourse mit seinem geschwungenen Stahl- und Glasdach, welches freistehend vor dem historischen Western Range Building neu errichtet wurde.
Unter dem sich bis zu 20 m aufschwingenden halbkreisförmigen Dach, mit einer Spannweite von 52 m und einem Durchmesser von 130 m, befindet sich der neue Bahnhofseingang.
Das – gemäß dem Architekten – größte freitragende Bahnhofsdach Europas zeichnet sich durch eine zentrale weiße Stahlfachwerkstütze aus, die wie bei einem Pilz vertikal emporstrebt und sich dann elegant in die Horizontale auffächert.
Der Außenkranz der circa 1.000 t schweren Dachkonstruktion liegt auf sechzehn Baumstützen, die einzeln je eine Last von 60 t aufnehmen.
