Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix
The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.
This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.
It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.
Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future
Turtles are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently, so they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.
The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water.
Red-eared sliders are native to the Southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they outcompete native species.
The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the typical length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years.

Old houses always have vibes. This one was particularly interesting. It is maintained beautifully, but has some rather strange vibes coming off of it is in an area that could be very busy. It brings nothing to the area because it’s been closed for quite some time.. i’ve always thought when I see really interesting properties if walls could talk, what would they say? This house didn’t seem to be able to share. No one seems to know the story of the closures of every business that has tried to survive in this historic building. The only comments I obtained from a couple of locals is that the place is haunted and very creepy.. one lady shared a worker has been coming and going doing some restoration and his constant companion, a small, mixed breed dog stops, staring at the door, and refuses to go in even though her owner is in there. That is a curious thing. As the little dog is quite adventurous per the lady, and always accompanies him on all jobs . hmmm

Fountain Elms was maintained as a house museum, exhibiting the Proctors' paintings, prints and decorative furnishings as the nucleus of a permanent collection. In June of 1941, the Institute was granted the power to "provide instruction in higher education at the college level in the field of fine arts with authority to confer the degree of bachelor of fine arts." It was on this great occasion that the School of Art was established.
The Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, was the last home for Arizona's Territorial government, until Arizona became a state in 1912. Initially, all three branches of the new state government occupied the four floors of the statehouse. As the state expanded the branches relocated to adjacent buildings and additions. The 1901 portion of the Capitol is now maintained as the Arizona Capitol Museum with a focus on the history and culture of Arizona. The Arizona State Library which occupied most of the 1938 addition until July 2017 re-opened in late 2018 as a part of the Arizona Capitol Museum.
This statue stands in the Jardins Biovès in Menton, France, a lush and meticulously maintained public garden located in the city center along Avenue Boyer. The statue visible is the “Monument to Queen Victoria”, commemorating her visit to Menton in 1882. The sculpture depicts Queen Victoria with a symbolic guardian angel by her side, paying homage to her significance and the role she played in popularizing the French Riviera as a winter destination among British aristocracy.
Surrounded by palm trees, rose-covered arches, and seasonal flower displays, the monument adds a regal historical touch to the tropical ambiance of the gardens. The setting, with the backdrop of the mountains and Belle Époque architecture, captures the elegance and timeless charm of Menton...

From it's most earliest days in the early 1900's to it's sad end in the mid 1950's Packard maintained a signature design element on their grill surrounds. Starting lower on the sides the grill surrounds would bump up and raise in the center, and you will find versions of this on every model of every Packard for every year of Packard's existence. When I first came upon the Reo in the photo the first thing I noticed was the Packard like grill surround, and thinking, in fact, that it was indeed a Packard. Well, that was only true until I noticed the emblem in the center with the letters R E O emblazoned on it. Like Packard in their day, Reo was considered somewhat of a luxury automobile, and as such, they were priced accordingly. I suspect, however, that they didn't have the same panache that Packard enjoyed. So, was the Packard like grill surround on this 1930 Reo a design coincidence, or could you say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?" REO, the company, was founded by the former founder and owner of the Oldsmobile company, Ransom E. Olds (Notice the first letters in his name REO.) The company started in Lansing, Michigan, and had a long and somewhat successful history producing cars and trucks from 1905 to 1975. In 1936, Reo stopped producing cars in favor of devoting it's time to the end in 1975 to producing trucks.

Although truck orders during World War II enabled it to revive somewhat, the company remained unstable in the postwar era, resulting in a bankruptcy reorganization. In 1954, the company was still underperforming, and sold its vehicle manufacturing operations (the primary asset of the company) to the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation of Detroit. Three years later, in 1957, Reo's vehicle manufacturing operation became a subsidiary of the White Motor Company. White then merged REO with Diamond T Trucks in 1967 to form Diamond Reo Trucks. In 1975, this company filed for bankruptcy and most of its assets were liquidated. Volvo later took over White and thus currently owns the rights to the REO brand name.

Serenity is maintaining a sense of inner peace even in difficult situations. We gain serenity by accepting the things we cannot change and focusing our energy where we can make a difference.
Fear, anger or desire can create a sense of urgency that triggers us to react impulsively. When this happens, we risk undermining our goals, damaging relationships--even violating our deepest values. By contrast, when we cultivate serenity, we don’t fear our emotions, but we do keep them in balance. We govern ourselves rather than being ruled by external circumstances and our feelings about them.
Meditative practices, contemplation, physical exercise and self-regulation skills all can help us to maintain a serene, peaceful state of mind. This mental state in turn frees us to live thoughtfully and intentionally. When we hold onto our own sense of serenity, we help others to keep theirs.

San Francisco has maintained its reputation as a center of cultural bohemianism. In earlier years it had drawn writers from Mark Twain to Jack London, and it became a center for the 1950s beat poets and for the Haight-Ashbury hippie counterculture that peaked with the 1967 “Summer of Love.”
Some Hadada ibis maintain a pair bonding throughout the year. Commonly, a female, with her wings half-open, approaches a male and touches her beak to his beak. After this brief mutual beak-to-beak touching, she resumes feeding elsewhere among the party. Billing behavior of pairs includes rattling of beaks up and down and side-to-side while nodding heads. Courtship includes the offering of sticks by each bird to the other 😄, followed by neck intertwining, mutual preening, head shaking

Europe, Spain, Andalusia, Sevilla, Plaza da la Encarnación, Metropol Parasol, Maintenance workers (uncut)
The Metropol Parasol, aka Setas de Sevilla was designed by Berlin architect Jörgen Mayer and opened in 2011. It's on the location of a demolished market and In its bowels are a new food market and a museal space where the ancient (Roman) foundations of the city can be visited. The main function of the edifice is to refresh and modernize the urban image of Sevilla.
At the planning stage, there was opposition - the Semana Sancta organizers were against it and, strange enough, a Spanish-German trade organization too. Perhaps it was a bit too much of a "fremdkörper" in the middle of town. But in the 6 years of its existence, it has become an organic element of the town.
The view it offers on the town and its surroundings is wonderful. It's, by the way, the largest wooden structure in the world. The laminated wood is covered by a fire retardant layer.
Seen here are maintenance works.

The city of Toledo, region of Castilla La Mancha, Spain, is surrounded on three quarters by the Tagus River.
It was the capital of Spain from 418 until 1561, when King Felipe II decided to move the Imperial Court to Madrid.
However, Toledo is still a must-visit city for all those who come to the central area of Spain.
The city downtown maintains its traditional structure and is populated with churches, museums, as well as a synagogue and a cathedral.
Some Sephardic Jews (that is, of Spanish origin) keep the surname "Toledo" as proof of the stay of their ancestors in this city for centuries.
The manufacture of swords in the city of Toledo goes back to Roman times, but it was under Moorish rule and during the Reconquista that Toledo and its guild of sword-makers played a key role.
Between the 15th and 17th centuries the Toledo sword-making industry enjoyed a great boom, to the point where its products came to be regarded as the best in Europe.
Swords and daggers were made by individual craftsmen, although the sword-makers guild oversaw their quality.
In the late 17th and early 18th century production began to decline, prompting the creation of the Royal Arms Factory in 1761 by order of King Carlos III.
The Royal Factory brought together all the sword-makers guilds of the city and it was located in the former mint.
In 1777, recognizing the need to expand the space, Carlos III commissioned the architect Sabatini to construct a new building on the outskirts of the city.
This was the beginning of several phases of expansion.
Its importance was such that it eventually developed into a city within the city of Toledo.
In the 20th century, the production of knives and swords for the army was reduced to cavalry weapons only, and after the Spanish Civil War, to the supply of swords to the officers and NCOs of the various military units.
Following the closure of the factory in the 1980s, the building was renovated to house the campus of the Technological University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo. (Source: Wikipedia)

La ciudad de Toledo, región de Castilla La Mancha, España, está rodeada en tres cuartas partes por el río Tajo.
Fue la capital de España desde el año 418 hasta 1561, cuando el rey Felipe II decidió trasladar la Corte Imperial a Madrid.
Sin embargo, Toledo sigue siendo una ciudad de visita obligada para todos los que acuden a la zona central de España.
El centro de la ciudad mantiene su estructura tradicional y está poblado de iglesias, museos, así como una sinagoga y una catedral.
Algunos judíos sefardíes (es decir, de origen español) conservan el apellido "Toledo" como prueba de la estancia de sus antepasados en esta ciudad durante siglos.
La fabricación de espadas en la ciudad de Toledo se remonta a la época romana, pero fue bajo la dominación árabe y durante la Reconquista cuando Toledo y su gremio de fabricantes de espadas desempeñaron un papel fundamental.
Entre los siglos XV y XVII la industria espadera toledana tuvo un gran auge, hasta el punto de que sus productos llegaron a ser considerados los mejores de Europa.
Las espadas y dagas eran fabricadas por artesanos individuales, aunque el gremio de espaderos velaba por su calidad.
A finales del siglo XVII y principios del XVIII la producción empezó a decaer, lo que motivó la creación de la Real Fábrica de Armas en 1761 por orden del rey Carlos III.
La Real Fábrica aglutinaba a todos los gremios de espaderos de la ciudad y se ubicaba en la antigua ceca.
En 1777, reconociendo la necesidad de ampliar el espacio, Carlos III encargó al arquitecto Sabatini la construcción de un nuevo edificio en las afueras de la ciudad.
Este fue el comienzo de varias fases de expansión.
Su importancia fue tal que acabó convirtiéndose en una ciudad dentro de la ciudad de Toledo.
En el siglo XX, la producción de cuchillos y espadas para el ejército se redujo únicamente a las armas de caballería y, tras la Guerra Civil, al suministro de espadas a los oficiales y suboficiales de las distintas unidades militares.
Tras el cierre de la fábrica en la década de 1980, el edificio fue rehabilitado para albergar el campus de la Universidad Tecnológica de Castilla-La Mancha en Toledo. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
This impeccably restored and maintained 1936 Ford half ton pickup was photographed in Connecticut. But, it was decided that it warranted a much more suitable background, and out in a country area where it would be more at home, on, or near a ranch maybe? So, we fired up old Photoshop, packed a lunch, and took a digital ride to somewhere outside of Bozeman Montana where it will continue to reside on my computer until "the cows come home." Amazingly, we got some pretty impressive fuel mileage out of this flathead V8 powered beauty. We averaged an impressive 18.6mpg on our near 2000 mile digital trip, and like all Ford flatheads it did overheat on us twice and finally we were forced to stop along the way to replace a head gasket. But now, she's at home, and right where she belongs!
The Andean Emerald (Uranomitra franciae), photographed at La Minga Ecolodge in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, presented a rewarding challenge in both timing and composition. This hummingbird’s iridescent green plumage, accented with golden tones and a sapphire crown, came alive against a softly blurred background of forest hues. The natural light provided just enough illumination to capture the shifting metallic colors without overexposing the white chest, requiring careful control of exposure and angle. The bird’s poised stance on a slender branch offered a moment of stillness in the midst of its normally restless activity.
From a photographer’s perspective, this image is a study in balancing technical precision with patience. Working with a long lens to isolate the subject, I aimed to create a composition that emphasized the vibrancy of the feathers while keeping the background minimal and complementary. Depth of field was critical in ensuring sharpness on the eye and crown while maintaining a pleasing bokeh. Moments like these remind me of the intersection between artistry and documentation, where a frame becomes both a portrait and a testament to the species’ place in its Andean environment.
