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

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.

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:
Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.
Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.
Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.
Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.
Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.
Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.
Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.
Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.

Unfortunately, I wĺill have less time to spend on FLICKR in the coming period due to my study 'Drone Pilot Advanced EASA Specific-Category STS-01/PDRA-S01' 🚁
I keep trying to post 2 automotives a day on my stream and not in groups except by request
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

"A statue removed from an Islington park more than 30 years ago has been officially reinstated. 'Upon Reflection' is a self-portrait of artist Kevin Atherton, first unveiled in the Philip Noel-Baker Peace Garden, in Elthorne Park, in 1985.
But the statue, which depicts the artist gazing at his reflection in a pond, was vandalised and eventually removed after less than two years. The plinth has remained empty since.
The sculpture was thought to be lost, until the council’s heritage team found it in the basement of Islington Town Hall last year." (source and date of article unknown😭possibly 'Islington Gazette')
Originally when the Statue was Installed was plain Silvery Bronze colour. It was painted Silver (as here) but the Date that it was Painted Gold was sometime in 2024 (to be updated)
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !
Excerpt from claude-monet.com:
The Seine At Rouen:
The Seine and its surrounding countryside were often painted by Monet throughout his life. He spent much of his life living within close proximity to the river and her tributaries.
In this painting of The Seine at Rouen, Monet has used a wonderful balance of verticals and horizontals. The line of houses and buildings that winds into the distance provides a strong horizontal, enhanced by the expanse of sky reminiscent of Dutch landscapes. Here, Monet was concerned less to have his sailboats stand out sharply against the water's smooth surface, than to fit them into the general structure of verticals and horizontals. Despite the widespread view that the Impressionists and their leader, Monet, gave little thought to the structure of their landscapes, while concentrating on fleeting impressions, The Seine at Rouen is notable for its truly "constructive" composition.

Bart kept photobombing my anemone photos, so I just took photos of him. He's three years old, and quite a character. From the look on his face, I don’t think he’s a fan of the flash!
Considerably less beloved than E8s were the low-slung Bombardier LRC locomotives, built to power matching trainsets. At least in the early days they looked somewhat impressive as eight and nine car consists with an engine on each end, as in the case of VIA No. 6908 at Brockville on 6 July 1986 with a corridor train.
Roby is a small town on U.S. 180 with a population less than 600 and it's the county seat of Fisher County. Something very interesting happened in this small town back in 1996.
The Roby 42: Forty-two lucky residents of Roby put $10 each in a lottery pool in 1996 and won the $46,000,000 Texas jackpot on Thanksgiving of that year, making 6–7% percent of the population millionaires instantly (before taxes).
In the winter, resident birds are joined by immigrants from continental Europe, mostly from Scandinavia; these Robins are paler than ours, have a duller red breast. The immigrants are also generally less tame because they skulk in woodlands, only British Robins are a tame garden bird

#fujifilm X-H1
With probably less than 15 minutes before the direct sun light died, CN 2016's headlight popped around the bend in the distance with limestone, much to my chagrin. They were following shortly behind the BLE 903 which also had limestone. I was really hoping to make use of a last patch of nose light along with the late season goldenrod. Made for a great twofer, sometimes you luck out. There have certainly been plenty of times that scenario has played out where I watched the light die entirely, only to have the headlight appear moments later.

Best seen large by clicking on the photo. Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Feliz Natal! Feliz navidad! Buon Natale!
EDIT: Thanks to Steve (Az Hiker1) for kicking off the bidding at $50. Go check him out. Also, keep the bidding coming!
EDIT 2: $70, from d'Supremo, gets it! Thanks for the bid!
This is reposted, and copied, from this posting. Head there for non-bidding comments. (Thanks for all the attention to both versions!) I wanted a "fresh" one for this auction.
I'm late to this game, and I would like to do something besides blather on about issues, so this is a very small way to offer help. We'll see if it goes anywhere, but what a great idea, Andy, for setting up the group.
I'm putting up an image for auction, to run until end of January 24, 2010, 11:59:59 p.m. MST (because I'm too stupid to figure out your time zone). I'm thinking 18"x12" print, unmounted, on professional paper, but if you want smaller, let me know. I get it printed and ship it to you.
I've suggested this image to start but if you'd prefer another from my photostream then go ahead and bid and request another. Some are more or less conducive to large prints but they're all available except for the ones showing my son or others (if the person/people are in silhouette it's negotiable). So comment below, with a bid. Winning bid before the deadline gets it. Then, donate the entire amount of the bid to a charity of your choice. Make it a good one -- I'd humbly suggest choosing from Red Cross, Partners in Health, Unicef, or Doctors without Borders; to name a few. Take a screen grab of your donation, and I'll send you the print!
If you don't have a Flickr account and want to bid, just e-mail me at khosey1@yahoo.com with "charity bid" in the subject line
What could I say ? The landscape speaks for itself. When crowds are stacked in Zadar or Split, this place is almost empty. a some people in the port, hike 30min and you'll be on your own. Sounds like the older I get the less I understand people.
Anyway, you want Etretat, Moher ? I rise you Telasica Nature Park.
Featuring crystal clear water, salted water lake and sea urchins. A freaking lot of sea urchins.
Little news ! I've started an IG account, @backpacking_bear feel free to take a look !
