WHAT A PRIVILEGE to have witnessed these youngsters growing up, and at last, they are semi-fledged, coming back to the handmade nesting box, which is now very lopsided. The juvenile resembles an adult female but the upper parts are more reddish-brown, and the voice utters a shrill and insistent kee-kee-kee. Wish them also all the best for a long life. And am hoping the parents will return next year.

A long winding street called Steep Hill, built on a very steep hill in Lincoln .. with a lopsided lamp post:)
Easy going down and some conveniently placed benches to rest on the way up:)
Trainbearers are lopsided hummingbirds: they have short bills (for a hummingbird, anyway), but very long tails. The Black-tailed Trainbearer occurs from Colombia south to Peru. Over much of its range it overlaps with a related species, the Green-tailed Trainbearer (Lesbia nuna), but the Black-tailed is the larger of the two species, with a longer bill. The two species also differ in the color of the upper surface of the tail: the tail feathers of Black-tailed are mostly black, with only narrow glittering bluish green tips, but are mostly green in the smaller species. Unlike the superficially similar sylphs (Aglaiocercus), trainbearers are not hummingbirds of the forest. Instead, the Black-tailed Trainbearer forages in montane scrub, in gardens, and other semiopen habitats. Picture taken at Zuro Loma - Ecuador.
Have a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

and with this thought and my lopsided night shot from Reine I bid thee all Good Night! May you all have colourful dreams of fair places :)
Svartifoss, the "Black Waterfall" within Skaftafell mountain range, here in another approach and different framing. The detail of the amazing "lopsided" columnar basalt is perfectly visible in this lighting.

I forgot my tripod at home, so I had to use a tree........ hence how it's lopsided.
half day of school tomorrow, and then a three day weekend!
The Crooked House was built in 1765 and was originally a farmhouse. During the early 19th century, mining in the area caused one side of the building to begin gradually sinking; one side of the building is now approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) lower than the other.
It later (c. 1830) became a public house called the Siden House, siden meaning "crooked" in the local Black Country dialect. The building was later renamed the Glynne Arms after the local landowner, Sir Stephen Glynne, on whose land it stood.
The building was condemned as unsafe in the 1940s and was scheduled for demolition. Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries purchased the pub and rescued it by making the structure safe using buttresses and girders so as to retain its lopsided appearance.
The building's leaning walls give rise to some optical illusions as with a gravity hill. These include glasses slowly sliding across "level" tables and a marble appearing to roll uphill.
An Ozarks scene that is common along the backroads...an old family home, a bit lopsided, hoping that the new fall season will be kind this year. Apps: Snapseed, iColorama, Vintage Camera
The evening before the theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 25th of February - "tree silhoettes" - was announced, I was photographing just that on Griffith Island, a native animal sanctuary in Port Fairy, capturing them in the dying rays of what had been a beautiful summer’s day.
This costal area of south-eastern Australia is famous for many reasons, including its winds, which out on this exposed island, twist and turn to their whims, the Norfolk Pines that grow there. This one, as you can see, is lopsided, with many branches to the right. This is because the left side is more exposed to the winds coming in off the ocean. Looking at this silhouette, I am put in mind of one of my favourite illustrators of the Golden Age of Children’s Illustration: Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939). He portrayed witches sitting in the branches of windswept trees. Perhaps if you look closely enough, you might see a witch sitting in the twisted branches of this witches’ tree. I hope that you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
Port Fairy is a historical coastal town in south-western Victoria. It lies on the Princes Highway in the Shire of Moyne, twenty-eight kilometres west of Warrnambool and two hundred and ninety kilometres west of Melbourne, at the point where the Moyne River enters the Southern Ocean. Settled by predominantly Irish immigrants, Port Fairy was originally called Belfast, and contains many old and significantly historic buildings. A popular tourist destination it has many attractions including an annual folk music festival and jazz music festival.
Crazy Tuesday theme: imperfection
I had just put up this spinner and the wind came and blew away three wings/petals. It spins lopsided now.
Thank you for all your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HCT

Happy Sliders Sunday!
We had a busy day in Tokyo on March 31st, 2018, starting with a ride on the metro to Ginza and other places of interest, including the Tsukiji Fish Market. After lunch a visit to the Mei Ji Shrine and Takeshita Street; never was there such a contrast in expression and experience.
On my travels I took this photo of the Ashai Beer Building with its distinctive golden sculpture, variously known as "The Golden Poo" and "The Sperm Bank". Who ever designed it had definitely sampled too much of the company's product.
What appears to be a lopsided building on the left side of the shot, is in fact two buildings, one behind the other. The taller building is the 634 metre tall Tokyo Sky Tree tower, the building in front is the Good Smile Company building. The Good Smile Company and the Golden Poo in the same neighbourhood; now that works for me.
This teenage buck is full of self-expression. I had to wave my hand above my head to get him to look at me and I got more than I bargained for. To me it looked like he didn't have his head screwed on straight.
This is a panorama taken with a Samsung mobile phone. Sharpness is not great but this is done with a view to a future concept. It is a bit lopsided to include the pulpit - seen on the right hand side.

Chapel Six Marshes is located off the coast road just north of Chapel St Leonards. There are two car parks that have height barriers at the entrance (1.95m/6'4"). There are 5 disabled parking bays.
Taken close by the huge sweeping beach that is in my previous photos.
Due to my inertia and not bothering with ND filters the sky was almost pure white to the right of the shot.
A bit of Ps skulduggery replacing the sky with one taken with a slightly better exposure but where slightly more of the trampled foreground grasses were in evidence ( obviously although it is a quiet place many people must shoot from the same spot. ) It is handy but I am always wary of that barbed wire which I have come into contact with on other occasions. I really hate barbed wire. If people wish to gain entry they will.. We walk the countryside not far from where we live and it borders footpaths at eye level making walk me lopsided as my inner ear problem leaves me with a slight imbalance-
A dilapidated lopsided summer cabin built by a Norwegian Consul from Tromso in the early 1900s, is now a tourist attraction in Recherche Fjord, Svalbard.
Struggled a bit with this image as the marker in the water was lopsided. If I straightened it the horizon was lopsided. I guess it what it is. Imperfection.
It was one of those good easy going days after lunch in Heart Buchanan then off to Voltaire & Rousseau with Ella who was after some books as research for a portrait of famous Weegies.
Books are everywhere here, in manic lopsided piles so you have to dodge people (its always quite busy) and try not to bump into and knock over any books, it always happens though and everyone is pretty used to it.
I asked on the off chance that they may have some old account ledgers for lapin, and the owner said there was one just at the front of the desk this morning, since then they had a few "book collapses" and its been lost somewhere in the midst of the store.
Nothing to See Here has a great article about the place
This bull elk's right antler is considerably smaller than his left one. The most common cause for asymmetrical antler growth is injury to one of the antlers while in velvet or injury to the pedicle (a permanent fixture on the bull's forehead from which the antler grows).
We found this big fella near a lake in Estes Park, Colorado.
This lopsided mailbox is waiting for letters on a deserted back road. It looks like it has had several partially successful renovations over the years! No sign of life nearby, but maybe the rural route postman will find it again and have something to put inside once more.
Leaning haphazardly against each other, this rock formation towers over the Wadi Rum visitor centre. It proceeds to a gradual peak with the highest pillar at its front. The clear, rounded shapes of the pillars standing side-by-side allowed it to inherit its name. Because of it shapes, this mountain look like many things. A collection of lopsided pillars, a procession of figures fanned out behind their leader, the bulwark of a great ship sailing through an ocean of sand. The modern name is taken from TE Lawrence’s memoir of his time in the desert. Though only five of these pillars are immediately visible, the other two are around the side. It is possible to walk around the formation but the best view is from a distance near the visitor centre. The original Arabic name is Jebel al-Mazmar, which means “The Mountain of the Plague.”
This site is one of the most amazing hiking spots in the area. The trail is one of stark contrasts: on one side, flat sands spread long distances, the very picture of the dry, yellow desert of the imagination in summer. In winter and spring, it is scattered with low grasses and bushes that animals come to graze on. Keep your eyes peeled and you might even spot a camel or two! On the other side, the mountain leaps from the ground in a sheer wall of sandstone and granite. A walk along the base of the rock is done easily at your own pace. Upon approaching the foot of this majestic mountain, tilt your head back and take in the enormity of the pillars. Massive as big-city skyscrapers, these natural formations speak of something ancient. A testament to this place and its withstanding thousands of years of both human and environmental turmoil.

As talking points go, the golden whatever atop the Ashai Beer Building has to be high on the list. Among other colourful names, I heard it called "The Golden Poo" and "The Sperm Bank". Who ever designed it had definately samples too much of the company's product; cheers.

It rained quite heavily on my peonies today, so now they are all lopsided. At least they look pretty covered in raindrops!

A White-tailed Buck looking a little lopsided, looks like his barber took a little too muck off the top!
White-tailed Deer (Buck) has four points on the left and three on the right. It should be dropping the antlers soon. Central Bucks PA.
I have often reflected on this capture as it looks like the bear's left side is swollen (abscess tooth, stung by a bee, in a scruff, impersonating a squirrel hiding nuts, chewing tobacco)? This was the only angle I could get from my vehicle while she/he grazed for food. Otherwise looked very healthy-wild grizzly in the Canadian Rockies.

"This is the accent of the half-hearted land
Does it all make sense now?
And if the ship was built in bottled sand
Does it all make sense now?"
7 point White-tailed Deer buck in my backyard. He didn't stay long or even eat a pear that are on the ground from falling off the tree. I believe he was looking for a doe. Rut, it's that time of year.
Of all the things he could play with in the nursery, young Master Jack only had eyes for his brightly painted wooden blocks, and with them, he built a house. It was slightly lopsided, but what it lacked in evenness, was made up with young Master Jack’s enthusiasm.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 17th of February is "construction toys". An easy enough theme you would think, and perhaps for you it is. I on the other hand, with no children of my own, and godchildren either too old or too bookish to be interested in such things, have no construction toys. That was until I remembered that I had one set of blocks, but they are not ordinary ones, even if they are made of wood and brightly painted like other types of blocks. If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the "Looking Close on Friday" and "Smile on Saturday" groups. Amongst the thousands of items that make up this collection, I have a set of blocks. The small square blocks are only five millimetres in size as an indication of their minute proportions. I have set them up amidst other toys in an old Edwardian nursery setting with some of the other miniature toys that I have including a pull along wooden rabbit, an indoor croquet set and of course that quintessential Edwardian toy which is as popular today as it was when they were introduced, the teddy bear. I hope you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
