Virginia Creeper climbing a branch in the forest as the sun sets.
Virginia Creeper is often mistaken for poison ivy, possibly because they both have green leaves, and are located in woody areas. But poison ivy always has 3 leaves, where Virginia Creeper has 5...but sometimes 4 or even 3 at the end of the vine, as shown here. PI also has shiny leaves, where VC does not.
VC grows on a climbing vine and turns a brilliant red in the fall, deepening to a purplish as the season progresses. I enjoy seeing it wrap around tree trunks and branches, adding eye catching vines of autumn color to the forests.
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)

Morla, known as The Ancient One (Die Uralte Morla in German), is a giant turtle who, because of her size, is mistaken for a mountain. She lives in the Swamps of Sadness, which might be either the cause or the result of her melancholy mindset: as the oldest living Fantasian (after the Childlike Empress and the Old Man of Wandering Mountain, who are both ageless) she has grown indifferent to the fate of Fantasia and her own survival. Reluctantly, she informs Atreyu that the Empress needs a new name and points Atreyu to the Southern Oracle. Morla speaks in the 'royal we' or nosism.
In the film she has allergies to youth (Atreyu) and sneezes violently in its presence. Here, she knows nothing about the illness of the Empress, but sends Atreyu directly to the Southern Oracle.
Can often be mistaken for a butterfly as this moth will fly during the day. Including the larval and pupal stage these moths can have a lifespan of 8-9 months or more. The bright colours and markings show its predators that this moth is distasteful and poisonous. Found from the tropical regions of South and Southeast Asian countries which include India, China, Sumatra and Java !
Can sometimes be known as the hedge sparrow and can easily be mistaken for a female house sparrow. Compared to the sparrow the dunnock has a thinner and a more pointy bill with the body being more sleeker. Where as sparrows tend to live in flocks the dunnock is rarely seen in pairs. Its not uncommon for a female dunnock to mate with several different males and males will sometimes share females in which to defend their territory against rivals. The term 'dunnock' derived from old English meaning 'little brown bird'. The males usually start to sing from January to around July when the breeding has finished and may sometimes sing briefly at night.
A trail on the West Highland Way in Scotland - a 95 mile walk through some of the most scenic areas of the UK. This was in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, Arrochar but could easily be mistaken for Hobbit country :)
Another one of our underrated looking birds found in the UK. Can often be mistaken for a juvenile Rook but the Crows head has a more distinctive flatter crown and a much tighter neater-looking plumage. As with all corvids the Carrion Crow is a very intelligent bird and can recognise different human and crow faces.
Now the commonest and most widespread UK bird of prey. The buzzard is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V' and the tail is fanned. Buzzards are variable in colour from all dark brown to much paler variations, all have dark wingtips and a finely barred tail. Their plaintive mewing call could be mistaken for a cat.
Another lovely sunset from my backyard, which is lucky because I see far more sunsets that I do sun rises.
Breeding males are striking and unmistakable: especially look for white wing patch, head pattern, and thick black streaks on underparts. Females and immatures are less obvious and might be mistaken for Canada Warbler, but combination of gray head, yellow underparts, white wingbars, and at least some dark streaks on the flanks is distinctive. Always look for tail pattern from below: basal half is white, tip is black. Breeds in coniferous forests, especially with dense understory. Migrants and wintering birds can be found in any wooded area or edge. Winters primarily in Central America and the Caribbean. (eBird)

At last! My first photo of a Maggie in full breeding plumage. We came across this stunning warbler during our outing for Cornell's Global Big Day of Birding. In total, we saw 84 species, including 18 different warblers.

Pine Marten - Martes martes
Pine martens are found in the Scottish Highlands and Grampians, with isolated populations in southern Scotland. In England and North Wales pine martens seem to be on the verge of extinction. They are widespread and relatively common in Ireland. Although they occur in a wide range of habitats, pine martens prefer well-wooded areas with plenty of cover.
Diet: Pine martens are generalist predators, feeding on small rodents, birds, beetles, carrion, eggs and fungi. In autumn, berries are a staple.
General Ecology: Marten dens are commonly found in hollow trees or the fallen root masses of Scots pines, an association that probably earned pine martens their name; cairns and cliffs covered with scrub are frequently used as alternative den sites. Martens have territories that vary in size according to habitat and food availability. For males, these are about 10-25 square kilometres and for females about 5-15 square kilometres. They mark their territories with faeces (known as scats) deposited in places where they are conspicuous to other martens; they are frequently left along forestry trails.
Breeding: Young martens are born blind and hairless, in litters of 1-5, in early spring and stay with their mothers for about six weeks. Their eyes open at the end of May and by mid-June they begin to emerge from their den. Male martens play no direct part in rearing the young.
Conservation Status: Martens and their dens are fully protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981); martens must not be trapped, sold or disturbed except under licence from Scottish Natural Heritage, the Countryside Council for Wales or Natural England. Despite this legal protection, poisoned baits and traps, often set for hooded crows and foxes, still probably account for many marten deaths each year. Others are also shot at hen houses, and some are killed when mistaken for mink.
Until the 19th Century, pine martens were found throughout much of mainland Britain, the Isle of Wight and some of the Scottish islands. Habitat fragmentation, persecution by gamekeepers and martens being killed for their fur, drastically reduced this distribution. By 1926, the main pine marten population in Britain was restricted to a small area of north-west Scotland, with small numbers in N Wales and the Lake District. They have now increased their range in Scotland, and now occur throughout the Highlands, N of the Central Belt but remains one of the rarest native mammals in Great Britain, with a total population of around 3-4,000, but Ireland probably also has as many.
No mistaken this guy folks, definitely a Kestrel, and perched of all places a freshly harvested pile of Sugar Cane.
Thank you all for everything.

Buzzards are variable in colour from all dark brown to much paler variations, all have dark wingtips and a finely barred tail. Their plaintive mewing call could be mistaken for a cat.
What they eat: Buzzards tend to eat small mammals, birds and carrion. Even earthworms and large insects when other prey is in short supply.
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍
This Rusty Tipped Page (Siproeta epaphus) butterfly mistakenly landed in this artificial stream. Butterflies if they get wet, they simply remain still until the water evaporates from their body. They often bask in the sun to dry their wings. Apparently this one was doing that because it was very still with the feet submerged in the water.

Crested Caracara
This distinctive-looking bird is often mistaken for a type of vulture because of its bare face and habit of eating carrion, but it’s actually a tropical falcon. Besides cleaning up roadkill, the Caracara also feeds on invertebrates and small mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians. It’s also known to harass vultures causing them to disgorge their food, in order to steal it. Crested Caracaras can walk easily and run fast; males engage in aerial battles during breeding season. Threatened mainly due to habitat loss, the Caracara prefers open rangeland, like cattle pasture and is often seen perching on fence posts.
I found this adult in a cow pasture off Joe Overstreet Road, in Osceola County, Florida.
Le Bécasseau de Baird n'est pas très facile à reconnaître ressemblant au Bécasseau à croupion blanc mais arborant des teintes plus chaudes de beige-bronzé. On pourrait aussi le méprendre pour le Bécasseau à poitrine cendrée avec ses rayures denses sur la poitrine. En compagnie d'autres ami.e.s photographes, notre ami Sylvain Messier a été en mesure de bien l'identifier. Merci Sylvain!
The Baird's Sandpiper is not easy to differentiate from the White-rumped Sandpiper although it has more warm colors of beige-bronze shades. It could also be mistaken for the Pectoral Sandpiper with its dense stripes on the chest. In company of other friends photographers Sylvain Messier, our shorebird expert, was able to rapidly and surely identify the bird. Thank you Sylvain!

OK, I was mistaken..;) I had one more picture of Webberville city park..:) So, this one is actually the last one. The weekend wasn't a total loss. I did manage to take on shot that was worth posting and I'll probably post it during the week. And, I have one video I was going to post for Halloween.
Hope everyone has a great week
Mistakenly called 'The Big Buddha of Chiang Rai' this is actually a massive figure of Guanyin, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy. It's hard to tell from this image, but it's a 26 floor elevator ride to the top of the inside of her head. You can view the surrounding countryside from her eyes and various other openings at the top.
Wikipedia: In Chinese mythology, Guanyin is the goddess of mercy and considered to be the physical embodiment of compassion. She is an all-seeing, all-hearing being who is called upon by worshipers in times of uncertainty, despair, and fear. Guanyin is originally based on the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. Avalokiteśvara's myth spread throughout China during the advent of Buddhism and mixed with local folklore in a process known as syncretism to become the modern day understanding of Guanyin.

I spotted this potted shrub in the "Britzer Garten“ Berlin, and didn't know the name,. I looked it up and if I am not mistaken it is a "Megapotanicum“ (Chinese Lanterns, in German; „Laternchen“.. Thanks Keith! :)

These can be mistaken for Red-spotted purples when flying - if you don't see the orange spots below.
Georgia yard -- this week
I’ve heard many people mistaken Goosenecks State Park for Horseshoe Bend, myself included. It seems that almost everyone is familiar with Horseshoe Bend, which is just one large bend on the Colorado River, whereas Goosenecks is three bends on the San Juan River.
After being there, I can understand why it's not as popular as Horseshoe Bend. Goosenecks are just so wide, and even if you are brave to walk closer to the edge, it’s still super hard to capture the river bend entirely in a photograph.
This photo was stitched with 3 handheld shots, it's far from ideal because the river bend on the left was blocked by the rocks. It was taken at sunrise. I was alone, I didn't feel comfortable going beyond the stone walls to get closer to the edge for a better viewing angle. (Normally when I do risky stuff, I would like to have someone watching me and giving me warnings in case I overlook something.)
THANK YOU for your time and visit, much appreciated!!!
This is a common butterfly of damp grassland and woodland rides and is often mistaken for its cousin, the Small White. It can be found from spring through to autumn in parks and gardens, as well as less-urban areas such as meadows and woodland rides. The so-called green veins on the underside of the adults are, in fact, an illusion created by a subtle combination of yellow and black scales. This is one of the most widespread species found in the British Isles and can be found almost everywhere although it is absent from Shetland and areas of the Scottish Highlands.
I mistakenly thought it may be too cloudy today for a good sunset....
Grabbed my Nikon and ran out the door at the last second to witness this... wink emoticon
I could be mistaken on the ID but a couple of my followers Wayne Withers and John Tomsett also think this is correct. Thanks to both of them.

Ya know, there are Mondays, then there are MONDAYS. Today is one of the latter. It is getting better though. Everything happens for a reason right? Even if it doesn't music fixes everything! Still not where I want to be with the pics and editing but better than I expected this morning.

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But, I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes,
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel?
Tell me, now, how should I feel?
Now I stand here waiting
This little warbling vireo is easily mistaken for a drab warbler since it's the same size, but its bill is very stout in comparison to the needle-like beaks on warblers. Warbling vireos tend to work more methodically than warblers too, sometimes sitting for a couple seconds before moving on.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany.
It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world. It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany. Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls, the other two being Nördlingen and Dinkelsbühl.
The impressive fortification was built at the end of the 16th century in the form of a figure of eight. The bastion has two flanks, seven gates, a portcullis, a drawbridge and a parapet suitable for cannons.
Rothenburg was a Free imperial city from the late Middle Ages to 1803. In 1884 Johann Friedrich (von) Hessing (1838–1918) built Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. 1884–1903.
Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio.
It was the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in the 1968 family movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It is sometimes mistaken as the town at the end of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971); that town was Nördlingen.
The town served as a loose basis for the fictional town of Lebensbaum ("life tree") in the video game Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in the American market).
Pictures of the town were used in some parts of "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" and the trailer for the film. The camera flies over the town from the direction of the valley towards the Town Hall.
A plaque exists on the rebuilt town wall to commemorate this. Filming was done in Rothenburg for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011).
I might be mistaken, but what had happened in my life
taught me to let people like me as I'm. I won't change. Never!
Don't be mistaken by this statue in stone
It might just stand there on his own....
Though, he will defend his King & Queen
Like no one else has ever seen.

One from the garden earlier. There were a number of Nuthatches in the trees most of the day. Some of the individuals, whilst looking like adults, were this year's fledged juveniles. Seconds after I took this image, one of the young Nuthatches bizzarely did a Kingfisher impression by diving into the pond. In reality I think it may have mistaken pond weed for solid ground.

Never made it as a wise man

Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am

Out playing with my new toy, a Sony A9, This was mistakenly shot as a jpeg straight out the box. I am seriously impressed by it's high ISO performance.
I mistakenly had my shutter speed at 10,000 LOL. But it is amazing how well my camera and lens handles higher ISO. I applied Topaz Denoise afterward.

When I first saw the intense eyes and powerful beak of this bird I thought it was, for me, a new species of raptor. Then I noticed the long tail, the like of which I had seen on members of the cuckoo family. In fact, the green-billed malkoha (phaenicophaeus tristis) is just that - but a non-parasitic cuckoo. Photographed in Khuk Khak, Phang Nga, Thailand.

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are crying
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their guns, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are dying
These large dogs could be mistaken for the sheep they protect - at least from a distance. They have been used as sheepdogs for hundreds of years in certain parts of the world and have now been reintroduced in Graubünden, Switzerland, to protect sheep against wolves, lynxes and even bears! they grew up among sheep and can protect their herd quite fiercely against intruders.
So, they are definitely no 'Wolves in sheep's clothing' (enemies in disguise) for the sheep!
This is a very common butterfly but is often mistaken for its cousin, the Small White, particularly when in flight. As its name implies, however, the Green-veined White has white wings with prominent greenish veins on hind wing. Butterflies from broods later in the year tend to have less distinctive veining, making them seem even more like the Small White.
Upper wings have one or more spots and the forewing has a dark tip. The female has two spots on each forewing, the male only one. The veins on the wings of the female are usually more heavily marked. The Small White is similar, but lacks green veins.
