Little Petra , al-batrā aṣ-ṣaġïra), also known as Siq al-Barid (Arabic: literally "the cold canyon") is an archaeological site located north of Petra and the town of Wadi Musa in the Ma'an Governorate of Jordan. Like Petra, it is a Nabataean site, with buildings carved into the walls of the sandstone canyons. As its name suggests, it is much smaller, consisting of three wider open areas connected by a 450-metre (1,480 ft) canyon. It is part of the Petra Archeological Park, though accessed separately, and included in Petra's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Like Petra, it was probably built during the height of Nabataean influence during the 1st century C.E. While the purpose of some of the buildings is not clear, archaeologists believe that the whole complex was a suburb of Petra, the Nabatean capital, meant to house visiting traders on the Silk Road. After the decline of the Nabataeans, it fell vacant, used only by Bedouin nomads, for centuries. From Wikipedia, the free.

An adult Little Blue Heron in beautiful breeding colors forages for a meal
Photographed a few days ago on Hilton Head Island, SC, USA
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
As the title says, these are Australian little blue periwinkles. And by little, I mean only a couple of millimetres in length.
They live in intertidal rock pools and generally live in clusters of thousands.
Not sure why these two were off by themselves, but I suspect they suffer from the same condition that I do - Destinesia. That's where you end where you wanted to be, but forgot why you wanted to be there ;)
Hapy new week !
One of the two Little Bunting that have over-wintered in Surrey. They should be somewhere in Asia rather than here in the UK.
European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) juvenile
There was a good number of young Goldfinches the Sneydes Rd. Paddock yesterday.
I had never seen an adult Little Blue Heron prior to this past weekend. In terms of coloration, I think that this may be my favorite Heron. The reddish head and neck, and the slate gray wings really make for a great color combination. I was fortunate to be able to capture this Little Blue in flight as it was the only run she made during the time I was at the Rookery. Please view large for best Little Blue experience.
It is Thursday and almost the weekend. Thank you for stopping by~!
I know it’s down there somewhere, let me have another look!

Egretta caerulea
Little Blue Heron
From the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
The diet of the little blue heron primarily consists of fish, insects, shrimp, and amphibians. Little blue herons feed alone, usually along freshwater systems and on floating vegetation.
The little blue heron nests in colonies, often with other species of long-legged waders. Nests of sticks are placed in trees and shrubs on islands, thickets near water, or emergent vegetation over water. Little blue herons will lay three to five blue-green eggs that hatch in 20 to 24 days. The young are able to leave the nest and fly (fledge) at 28 days of age.
From the photographer - the appeal of this bird, for me, beyond its colors, even beyond its expressions, was the interesting patchwork of colors and shapes in the background.
Little Blue Herons are common here in South Florida, and usually not overly shy. Juveniles are white, then change to a mixture of white and blue until they reach their adult stage, as shown in this image. When they are in their white stage they look a lot like a Snowy Egret. However, like getting to know identical twins, after awhile it becomes easier to tell one from the other. One easy distinction is that Snowy’s have yellow feet and the tip of Little Blues is black, as if it were dipped in ink. This one came in while Ron and I were waiting for the Belted Kingfisher to arrive at the snag. (Egretta caerulea)
Taken at Lackford lakes, in Suffolk. Usually a great place to photograph Kingfishers, but the kingy's weren't being very cooperative today. Fortunately, this beautiful Little egret dropped in & fished for a while, which was nice to see.

The honey-eyed owlet was mesmerizing... and quite hungry :)
Great Horned Owl / Puchacz Wirginijski (Bubo virginianus).
I found this cool little barn taking the backroads Home one night. It was an unusually warm January evening and the sunset was illuminating the storm clouds in the east with a nice pinkish hue. Miami County, Kansas
The Little Kanawa River Railroad's EMD SW locomotive switches Cardinal Concrete in Parkersburg, WV. This little 2 mile short line had more than it's hands full during much of my visit to the area.

These tiny little bowls (I have 12 in all) were a gift from an aunt. I’ve tried to find out about them but the most I could find was that they’re probably Chinese export porcelain made in the 1950’s. Each one is hand painted with a different figure with some tiny Chinese (I think) writing next to each one. I’d love to know what the words say so if any of you can understand the one you can see I’d be really interested!!
Thanks for viewing
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Cool, Coolhaven, Little C (uncut)
Well, what can I say about the 'Little C Lofts & offices' complex in Rotterdam? For graphically inclined photographers like me it’s surely eye candy. But notwithstanding the lofty (pun intended) goals, the architectural choices are debatable. Little C doesn’t aim to be original, it just tries to copy 'New York style' tenements (they do resemble 'The Projects'....) with their external fire staircases and the London Docklands with their skybridges. While doing this, it follows the contemporary 'red industrial brick paradigm' closely. And it is only a partial solution for the big housing scarcity in Holland since it offers no affordable housing.
Little C consists of 15 towers, connected thru skybridges. It offers 320 apartments and 10.000 square metres of office space.
Little C was designed by CULD and Inbo and is the winner of several architectural prizes, one of them praising the liveability and the social cohesion, so maybe I’m being a little grumpy here ;-)
