As Einstein said "Life is like riding a bicycle..To maintain the balance you need to keep moving"
Recent events have once again proved Einstein to be right :-)

Tram Berlin - Flexity FZ8 Nr. 9074 in der Invalidenstraße an der Haltestelle Lesser-Ury-Weg. Wir befinden uns hier bereits in der großen Blockschleife in Moabit hinter dem Hauptbahnhof. Die nächste Haltestelle ist die Endhaltestelle und danach kann sich der Fahrer in der Abstellanlage eine kleine Pause gönnen.
Wikipedia: The grey peacock-pheasant (Polyplectron bicalcaratum), also known as Burmese peacock-pheasant, is a large Asian member of the order Galliformes.
It is a large pheasant, up to 76 cm long and greyish brown with finely spotted green eyespots, an elongated bushy crest, bare pink or yellow facial skin, white throat, and grey iris, bill and legs. The sexes are rather similar, but the female is smaller, darker and less ornamented than the male. The young resemble the female.
The grey peacock-pheasant is distributed in lowland and hill forests of Bangladesh, Northeast India and Southeast Asia, but excluding most of Indochina as well as the entire Malayan Peninsula. The diet consists mainly of seeds, termites, fruits and invertebrates. The female usually lays two eggs.
Conservation status: Least Concern
From the Cornell Lab:
"The Lesser Prairie-Chicken is a pale grouse of the southern Great Plains, found only in prairie and agricultural land with shinnery oak and sand sagebrush. Once widespread and abundant, its numbers have crashed following heavy hunting in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and then conversion of its natural habitat to cropland and rangeland. Like its close relative, the larger, darker Greater Prairie-Chicken, male Lesser Prairie-Chickens gather in spring on “leks,” sites where males compete for females by performing spectacular displays."
This shot was taken at Smoky Valley Ranch, a Nature Conservancy property in western Kansas. More than half of all lesser prairie chickens in the world are in western Kansas. The Nature Conservancy is playing a key role in preserving the species.
Third and final installment in my grouse series.

I live less of an hour from Mabry Mill the most photographed subject on the Blue Ridge Parkway. So at least once a year I feel obliged to go there. Fall season is the best time of the year because the trees color and reflections in the water create a special atmosphere. Late afternoon is also the best time to be there because the side light and the fact there are no hundreds of people....
Mabry Mill was originally constructed in 1905 by Ed and Lizzie Mabry. It was in operation by 1908 and was used by many in the region who brought their corn to be ground. The mill had a lack of water power, earning it a reputation as a "slow mill," but because of this, the mill would not grind too fast or scorch the corn, which resulted in the Mabry's mill being known for producing some of the finest tasting corn meal in the region. Ed would eventually construct a sawmill and woodworking shop alongside the grist mill, and a number of the tools he used in the shop were powered by the waterwheel. He would also go on to build a nearby blacksmith shop (and a distillery for Moonshine...). Ed Mabry passed away in 1938 and the National Park Service purchased the property from Lizzie. The Park Service completely restored the facility in 1942 and continues to preserve the area as a celebration of the rich culture of Virginia's Blue Ridge.The mill still stands as a unique symbol of the region's heritage and has attracted visitors from around the world (www.visitroanokeva.com/things-to-do/blue-ridge-parkway/ma...).
This is for now my last image on the Blue Ridge Parkway series.
For the art lovers amongst us...
This is a sculpture called "Butterfly" created by Henry Moore.
Seen and admired in October 2006 at the Henry Moore exhibition in Museum "De KunstHal" in Rotterdam. You can find more information HERE
“The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.”

Europe, The Netherlands, Gelderland, Achterhoek, Vorden, Landgoed De Wiersse (uncut)
The 'De Wiersse ’estate knows two parts. The formal garden as mentioned and shown in one of the previous posts and the less cultured but exciting forest part of the estate, which is pictured here.
Captured with the LX7 in auto HDR mode (three frames are taken in rapid succession and merged in-camera).
This is number 23 of the 'Naar het Oosten' album here.
Previously unposted shot from last year. The Sardinian Warbler is a close relative of our Dartford Warbler, he is wearing his evening suit in this shot, whereas his country cousin prefers something a bit less formal. They share the same distinctive eye ring and eye colour. He is perched on a freshly sprouting succulent plant at the edge of the harbour. Taken in the Algarve.
I decided to post just a simple portrait of Dusty this week. Kind of to show who he is and where he is in his development. He is now 4 1/2 months old and just over 30 pounds. He looks less and less like a plush toy and more like a dog every day.
I'm looking forward to sharing his first year and his life with all of you.
We always have a meal at the Darwin Sailing Club when visiting. Such a lovely spot and far less crowded than Mindil Beach.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
The Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla), less commonly known as the pink and grey cockatoo or rose-breasted cockatoo, is an Australian species of cockatoo and the only member of the genus Eolophus. The galah is adapted to a wide variety of modified and unmodified habitats and is one of Australia's most abundant and widespread bird species
Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2,0m or nothing from them.
The first dawn is in the San Juan Islands of western Washington. The tanbark ketch is a member of the Sea Witch class of sailboats. Some feel that this class of boat has never been equaled, much less surpassed, for romantic appearance and living space and comfort in a small cruising design.
Some frosted Glass beads lined up like little aquamarine jelly donuts. What a treat. Redux of "One Color" and Glass.
For original unedited photograph ..ask.
If any question whether or not these are actually 1000%
Mobile please leave a comment.
This series , despite my taking photos of my photos, are true reinventions of original.
With intentional outside elements from my tablet included in frame.

Why bother reinvented slp?
Rather then let these older moments get lost in archives
I have opted to play with them.
N yes, the boondocks can be stifling.

Lesser Jacana Microparra capensis
This little guy (weighing only 40 grams – 1.5 oz) is the smallest member of the Jacana family, and is an uncommon resident in the Southern African region. It is found most abundantly in the Okavango Delta region, and therefore is a rare sighting for a location so far east of the Delta.
As is the case with the more common African Jacana, the female is somewhat larger than the male; but unlike their cousins they are monogamous and the hatching of eggs and raising of young is a shared responsibilty of both parents.
This image was captured on the Chobe River, near Kasane, northern Botswana, Southern Africa while on photo safari with CNP Safaris. www.cnpsafaris.com
