Greylag Goose - Anser anser
The ancestor of most domestic geese, the greylag is the largest and bulkiest of the wild geese native to the UK and Europe. In many parts of the UK it has been re-established by releasing birds in suitable areas, but the resulting flocks (often mixed with Canada geese) found around gravel pits, lakes and reservoirs all year round in southern Britain tend to be semi-tame and uninspiring. The native birds and wintering flocks found in Scotland retain the special appeal of truly wild geese.
Greylag geese are listed in Schedule 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning they can be killed or taken outside of the close season.

Jay - Garrulus Glandarius
Although they are the most colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.
The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently.
The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established.
In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

Oban (An t-Òban in Scottish Gaelic meaning The Little Bay) is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William. During the tourist season, the town can have a temporary population of up to over 24,000 people. Oban occupies a setting in the Firth of Lorn. The bay forms a near perfect horseshoe, protected by the island of Kerrera; and beyond Kerrera, the Isle of Mull. To the north, is the long low island of Lismore and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour.

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli in southwestern Turkey. The area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by the flowing water. It is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.
Known as Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) or ancient Hierapolis (Holy City), this area has been drawing the weary to its thermal springs since the time of Classical antiquity. The Turkish name refers to the surface of the shimmering, snow-white limestone, shaped over millennia by calcium-rich springs. Dripping slowly down the vast mountainside, mineral-rich waters foam and collect in terraces, spilling over cascades of stalactites into milky pools below. Legend has it that the formations are solidified cotton (the area’s principal crop) that giants left out to dry.
Pamukkale is a tourist attraction. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site together with Hierapolis.

Meaning of first name Rose :
"Saint Rose was a young Spaniard, born in 1586 in Peru and who made her family home a kind of Dominican convent. She had mystical gifts. She is the patroness of Latin America and the Philippines.
The Roses, whose first name comes from the Latin rosa, know how to use their charm and rebound with liveliness. They also know how to be eloquent. Main asset of these women: dynamism."

“Well I get lost sometimes,
With you I am found.
I get lost so I'll follow the light to your heart
Will you wait, will you wait for me?
There's always a space in my heart.
I'm still caught in your gravity -
No matter the distance between us
Our joy lives in the moments we share.
Love's truest meaning lives when you're not there
Will you wait, will you wait for me?
There's always a space in my heart for you.”

Which was destroyed, speaking of wall cladding; scratched, hit.
I've been meaning for some time now, to try an idea I had in my head
Not ICM but a slow shutter speed to capture the swooping sea birds.
It turned out not to be as easy as I thought. In order to get the right shutter speed, I needed to use the Little Stopper, which then made viewing the said bird, a little more difficult
Multiple captures later, not exactly what I had a vision of but I quite liked this one
I've had a play around with the colour
My intention was to try and produce a dreamy feel but also show the movement of their wings

Baby, I've been living in the dark
The only friend I've got here is my broken heart
Feeling like I've finally had enough
Living like an animal can be so rough
I've been waiting for so long, for you to come my way
And now I, I can't wait another day
When you hold me, I finally see
When you say love, I know what it means
I was broke down so alone in the dark
Until you showed me the light (baby)
'Cause when you kiss me, I know who I am
And when you let me feel it I understand
When I'm lost I just look in your eyes
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life
Every time I spend a lonely night, yeah
Thinking I won't make it 'til the morning light
All I do is think of you and I (You and I)
Suddenly the wrongs they start to feel so right...
Stuttgart's coat of arms shows a black horse on its hind legs on a yellow background. It was first used in its current format in 1938; prior to this various designs and colours had been used, often with two horses. The canting seal pictured here reflects the origin of the name "Stuttgart". The name in Old High German was "stuotgarten", with "stuot" meaning mare, later cognate with the Old English term "stod" (Modern English: "stud", relating to the breeding of horses). The Old High German term "garten" referred to the compound on the site of the original settlement.The logo of the Porsche automobile company features a modified version of Stuttgart's coat of arms at its centre.

A cactus (plural: cacti) is a member of the plant family Cactaceae, a family comprising about 127 genera with some 1750 known species of the order Caryophyllales. The word "cactus" derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek κάκτος, kaktos, Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Most cacti live in habitats subject to at least some drought. Many live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth. Cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. Almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north.
Scientific name: Mellisuga minima
Common name: Vervain hummingbird
Nombre: Zumbadorcito, Zumbador verbena, Zumbaflor
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
According to Wikipedia: Mellisuga is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae. They are notable for being the first and second smallest bird species in the world.
The genus was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the vervain hummingbird as the type species.[ The name Mellisuga is a combination of the Latin words mel or mellis, meaning "honey" and sugere, meaning "to suck".
Of all Spain's tens of thousands of historical monuments, the Alhambra stands supreme. The final manifestation of the doomed Moorish civilization in the peninsula, its history also mirrors that the of Spain in the succeeding six centuries. Taken by Fernando and Isabel in a surge that culminated in Catholic Spain ruling vast tracts of Europe and New World, it, like the country, eventually fell into dereliction and then use as a barracks in the war-torn 19th century.
Rediscovered by Romantic travelers, it is now one of Europe's most-visited destinations!
The defensible hills were the principal reason why the Zirid rulers moved their town from nearby Elvira to Granada in the early 11th century. A natural fortress, the Sabika hill on which the Alhambra stands had previously been used by the Romans and Visigoths, but only a few remnants have been found from those eras. The Zirids fortified the hill, although their main palace was on the facing Albayzín. The Alhambra as we see it today was principally a construction of the later Nasrid dynasty, who rose to power in the 1230s and established the hill as their seat of power. The Nasrids ruled Granada until 1492 and are responsible for the most of the many buildings that form the Alhambra complex. Of these, their royal palace complex is what inspires visitors with the most awe. After Boabdil surrendered the city and fortress to the Catholic Monarchs, many modifications were made to the existing structures, and several new edifices were thrown up, not least of which is the bulky Renaissance Palacio de Carlos V. The name Alhambra is from Arabic al-qalat al-hambra, meaning the red fort, perhaps from the colour of the sandstone, especially in the setting sun.

Double meaning here, as that fish is quite small. I watched this heron for less than 5 minutes, and during that time, it caught, and ate, at least four of these little fish. Quite a prolific fisher!
The Damrak houses first introduced me to the Dutch word gezellig (meaning cozy or homely) I was always wandering in from the train station after dark and I would constantly stop and stare at these houses thinking it felt like an incandescent oasis in a city of fluorescents, warming the night and the Damrak with its soft glow.
When you walk by during the day usually things are shut tight against the throngs of tourists walking back and forth from the central station but at night when the crowds have dissipated the curtains open and the world seems to be welcome to become a witness to the nocturnal activities of the residents.
The Damrak historically was originally part of the Amstel river below the Dam that gave Amsterdam its name, Rak means a straight stretch or place to gain speed, so the Damrak was actually the straight piece of river below the Dam across the Amstel where sailors would pick up some speed on their home stretch to the port of Amsterdam.

Cushendun (from Irish Cois Abhann Duinne, meaning 'beside the River Dun') is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. It has a sheltered harbour and lies at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun, one of the nine Glens of Antrim. The Mull of Kintyre in Scotland is only about 15 miles away across the North Channel and can be seen easily on clear days. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 138 people.
It is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district.
The nearby hamlet of Knocknacarry is located approximately 0.6 miles to the west.
Cushendun village, was designed for Ronald McNeill, the Conservative MP and author later Lord Cushendun in the style of a Cornish village by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard near his nationalist cousin Ada or Ide McNeill, Roger Casement's friend and admirer who died in 1959.
Since 1954 most of the village and the parkland around Glenmona to the north has been owned by the National Trust. Cushendun's picturesque coastal setting in the heart of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, together with its architectural inheritance, resulted in designation as a Conservation area in 1980.
The nearby caves of Cushendun have been used as backdrop in the series Game of Thrones.

Some of us, like me, take photos for the beauty of what we see in SL. Others make their beauty, some tell stories with their art or they have art with purpose.
scylla.rhiadra's art has meaning and purpose. Her photos tell a story , some of the stories are hard hitting , socially relevant and profound.
She uses darkness to help illuminate her story in a way that leaves me in awe. I did not experience her art till she bumped into me one day at 777 motors. I checked out a few of her exhibits at different galleries and was blown away with the topics she covered and shared with her arts in an SL gallery. I felt like I could have been at any modern museum , maybe in SoHo New York.
I was honored when she asked if I'd take a pic with her. Her version shows how much she understands the use of lighting and darkness to share her vision. I took a photo, she captured a moment.

Traditionally, Dras is known as Hem-babs means "snow land" with the word "Hem" meaning snow. It is noted as "the second coldest permanently inhabited place in the world". The average temperature of Dras in winter is -20 degrees Celsius.
The barasingha, also called swamp deer, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It has been extirpated in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and its presence is uncertain in Bhutan.
The swamp deer differs from all other Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three tines. Because of this distinctive character it is designated bārah-singgā, meaning "twelve-horned" in Hindustani. Mature stags usually have 10 to 14 tines, and some have been known to have up to 20.
In Assamese, barasingha is called dolhorina; dol meaning swamp. (Wikipedia)

Doo Lough Irish: Dúloch, meaning "Black Lake" is a freshwater lake in the west of Ireland. It is located in southwest County Mayo on the Murrisk peninsula.
Doo Lough measures about 4 km long and 1 km wide. It lies about 30 km southwest of Westport near the village of Delphi. The lake runs in a narrow northwest to southeast direction, and is overlooked by the long ridge of Ben Lugmore 2,635 ft, on its southwest shores, and by Barrclashcame 2,533 ft on its northeast shores. At its southeast head, lies the massif of Ben Gorm 2,297 ft.
A notable feature on its northwestern head it the deep corrie of Lug More or Irish Coum Dubh, from which the Glencullin River feeds into the neighboring Lough Glencullin the bottom of the corrie is also called the Glencullin valley. Surrounding the corrie is the long ridge of Ben Lugmore and its several subsidiary summits, Ben Lugmore East Top 2,592 ft, and Ben Lugmore West Top 2,592 ft; while cutting across the headwall (from bottom left to upper right), is grenn grassy feature known as The Ramp, which is used by climbers to gain the ridge of Ben Lugmore from the shores of Doo Lough.

This is about 15 mins earlier than the last shot. I am standing at the opposite side of the valley just slightly looking up.
By way of explanantion I have to confess that I took those with the lens for close ups - it was the one I had on the camera; meaning that these shots are nice and soft :)
I liked the way the foliage framed this upper portion of Rainier's Narada Falls. This is perhaps half of the fall's 168 foot (51 m) tumble. Taken in mid-September when flow was lower. Really roars come spring.
This is the largest waterfall on the Paradise river. A great example of a horsetail waterfall.
"The name Narada was proposed by Arthur F. Knight and adopted in 1893 for the Narada branch of the Theosophical Society of Tacoma. Narada is a Hindu word meaning 'uncontaminated' or 'pure'. Early variants on the spelling include Neradah, and the common mistake of Nevada Falls.
Curiously an 1897 map produced by Henry Sarvant and G.F. Evans marks a "Big Paradise Falls" along the Paradise River which is assumed to represent Narada Falls." worldwaterfalldatabase.com
Just one of the many impressive waterfalls at Rainier National Park.
"We say things. The words remain echoing in our head.
We write things. The ink forever saturates the paper.
But when we mean things, the meaning grows old and suffers from dementia. When it stares blankly back at us, it peers into our soul with its big deep eyes, as if searching for something it has lost over the ages. "Some days, I catch a glimpse of a time when I used to make you smile", it says. "It has become difficult to hold that thought lately."
Words may bear witness. But, in time, meanings depart us, leaving us with the cold bodies of moments we once held dear."

This mushroom grew in the indoor flower pot. I've been meaning to photograph it all week but I've forgotten due to work. When I was looking for something to photograph for the Macro Monday's theme, I caught this in the corner of my eye. It has wilted and started to dry out. Perfect for the theme. HMM!
A Chinese Pond Heron in eclipse plumage catches a mudskipper, one of its favourite types of prey.
Pond Herons are kleptoparasitic (stealing the food of others), meaning it isn’t uncommon to see a pond heron that has caught a mudskipper being chased by many other herons (and even little egrets). The success of these chases is low however, although I have witnessed a few instances where a chased pond heron did drop its prey.
Species: Chinese Pond Heron / Ardeola bacchus / 中國池鷺
Species: Great Blue Spotted Mudskipper / Boleophthalmus pectinirostris / 大彈塗魚

♂️ Piranga flava, now Piranga lutea
(Tooth-billed Tanager / Cardenal Montañero)
Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. The Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. The Celts believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life. Any type of daisy equals truth or happiness of children.

A title with more than one meaning. The history of the Clinchfield makes it the most "modern" route in American Railroading. The C&O between Russell and Elkhorn City, KY already existed, and at the turn of the Century entities laid out plans to make a hyper efficient route to the Southeast. No such route existed.
The story of the Pikeville cut also continues with the theme of straight shootin'. I believe the Chessie along with the Commonwealth of Kentucky planned to bypass downtown Pikeville in the 70s. The subsequent route is pictured here with US 23 and the Levisa Fork also jammed in there. M693 is moments away from yarding at Shelby. A new crew will come on board later during the night. A soppy one at that...
