Weymouth Harbour. A rare visitor to southern shores. This bird popped up in front of us within minutes of arrival - unfortunately, I hadn't prepared the camera settings and shot this one at 2000/1 - a lesson learned!
Thank you for taking a look at my images.

Dusky moorhens
The adult in the foreground was repeatedly showing the youngster how to get a certain weed under the water, immersing its head and bringing up strands of vegetation, but not sharing any of the bounty. The young one was most attentive, watching carefully for quite a while. Then it finally cottoned on and started copying its mentor.
*Special thanks to Tiya Aura...for the lesson* I can never repay you for the help..and tips ;) *hugs*
I went to the Resolution Exhibition this past weekend, and got the chance to meet Q. While we were chatting.. he said to me.."We should do a picture together".. and of course, I couldn't refuse. We met up at the new La Vie En Pose Fair round and went looking for something we could do that would be fun. I spotted this great surf board with poses by SSP..and thought it would be great to try out. If you've seen Q's work, you know he's a surfer..and when he took me surfing, and I got to see how good he actually is..I knew I needed this Pro to give me a few surfing lessons *grins*
We took our shots at Lono-Surf Haven, and if you've never been there..you are missing out!! Beautiful sim.. AMAZING waves.. incredible surfing experience... and the perfect backdrop for my lesson on the board!
Check out my partner in crime's incredible shot -
She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.
I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.
I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.
I spotted a Virginia Rail at Fernhill today - unusual enough as it is, but then saw the little rail underneath, learning the lessons of catching and eating a worm!
This image shows the gorgeous detail in the plumage on the upper body and head of the Lesson's motmot.
Motmots like to perch on a limb with good sight lines for spotting bugs or small rodents and lizards moving about. Once spotted, they swoop down to nab their prey in their serrated beak, then head back to one of their nearby, preferred perches. Once perched, they will often bash the insect/rodent/lizard to soften it up. Many bird species engage in this behaviour.
Like many birds with home territories, they are somewhat predictable in their movements. The individual pictured here lived on a property that was converted from a farm to a reasonably large arboretum/garden, and later into an eco lodge.
Diademmotmot - Momotus lessonii
Another highlight at the first morning in Jan's garden was this Motmot. It was before sunrise and the ISO was a bit high 😉
First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

Immature Red-tailed hawk entered territory nest of Bald Eagles
The hawk was able to fly away while I was watching (I enlarged the photos) and after that I didn't see any blood on its body, after the Bald eagle's claws, anything could have happened.

"Couronne de lauriers, j'arrive comme César sur le boulevard Barbès. Elle m'masse le dos à Château d'Eau, comme par hasard, t'as pas l'adresse. À l'inverse de la guerre et l'contraire d'un imbécile, j'suis vers Belleville, cité indécise. En vélo, ou pass Navigo 7 zones, en sandales, chaussettes jaunes
Pas d'gros mais de beaux mots, tes potos se sont trompés sur les totaux. Ils font des total, cassent des motos, savent pas que les selfies sont des photos. Ils rappent de la mort aux rats, s'croient à Gomorra, parfumeur sans odorat. En vrai, on est adorables, abordables, on peut être plus sympa qu'Matt Pokora"
