During the holidays, Peter and Oleg visited some castles in Luxembourg. Peter (Prince Peter) is still looking for a castle for his sweet princess Rosie. www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/ In the castle of Beaufort they also visited the torture chamber.
PETER:
Oleg?? That thing I'm sitting on won't turn around anymore
I can't go up and I can't go down.
What should I do now?
OLEG:
Sit still...give me your left paw and I'll pull you up
And so it happened
Peter and Oleg survived the torture chamber
A shot from Howick this morning and the smaller rocks that a great for long exposure work, looking like miniature mountains, still with the older d3s, can't wait to get me d810 back today
Many years ago a friend of my father's gifted this rattlesnake skin to him. I was so taken by the beauty of it that my dad told me it should belong to me. What a glorious treasure! The skin, with its overlapping scales, provides protection from a variety of threats including dehydration and physical trauma. An important function of the skin is the sensation of changes in air temperature, which can guide the snakes towards warm basking/shelter locations.
many thanks for your comments faves and invites always much appreciated

Peter does exercises to get stronger muscles
PETER:
Look my Princess Rosie...I'm about to jump the horizontal bar!
I now train my back and chest muscles
I feel myself getting stronger and stronger
There I go....one, two three....wheeee!
I do it all for you!
After many varied weather forecasts, we ended up with about 4 plus inches Thursday night, some wind and even rain prior to the snow. No real blizzard conditions because the snow was quite wet . . .
This is near a large aerated pond where we still have Canadian Geese that like it here too much . . . no migration plans at the moment!

For many photographers, Corona is the opportunity to have fewer people in the picture without trickery. Shopping Mall in Bremerhaven.

A watch, especially a complication like this one, comes with many labels to identify the various parameters of time. This Oris moon phase, dual time zone complication is powered by the Calibre 581 developed in 1991 by its watchmakers in Holstein, Switzerland.. This particular watch has performed flawlessly through many time zones for many years. Submittal for the 6/15/20 Macro Monday's theme of "Label.”
Many people board their horses at the Red Barn and stables at Stanford University. I've always appreciated that anyone can walk through the open air corridors lined by a few dozen gorgeous horses.

Buff-banded Rail
Scientific Name: Gallirallus philippensis
Description: The Buff-banded Rail is a medium-sized stout rail with short legs. It has a distinctive grey eyebrow and an orange-brown band on its streaked breast. The lores, cheek and hindneck are rich chestnut. The chin and throat are grey, the upperparts streaked brown and the underparts barred black and white. The eye is red. Young birds are much paler to white underneath, with indistinct bars and only a faint orange-brown tint on the breast. Downy chicks are fluffy black. This rail walks slowly, with tail raised and flicking constantly.
Similar species: The orange-brown breast band distinguishes the Buff-banded Rail from the similar but smaller Lewin's Rail,Dryolimnas pectoralis, which has a rich chestnut crown and nape and a proportionally longer pink bill.
Distribution: The Buff-banded Rail is widespread in mainland Australia, particularly along the eastern coast and islands, and on Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. It is also found in south-east Asia, New Guinea and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Buff-banded Rail is seen singly or in pairs in dense reeds and vegetation bordering many types of wetlands or crops. It makes widespread use of artificial wetlands like sewage ponds and drainage channels.
Seasonal movements: The Buff-banded Rail is resident and possibly locally nomadic, though little is known of these movements.
Feeding: The Buff-banded Rail feeds on crustaceans, molluscs, insects, seeds, fruit, frogs, carrion and refuse. It mostly feeds early in the morning and the evening.
Breeding: Breeding is poorly known, but the Buff-breasted Rail nests in long grass, tussocks, rushes or crops. It makes an unlined cup-shaped nest of grasses or reeds. Both parents incubate and the young will leave the nest within 24 hours. Both parents remain with the young, which usually feed themselves, though the female may feed them as well. Two broods may be raised in some seasons.
Calls: Loud creaky squeak when breeding but usually silent.
Minimum Size: 28cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 31cm
Average weight: 130g
Breeding season: September to February
Clutch Size: 5 to 8 eggs
Incubation: 19 days
Nestling Period: 1 days

The brown pelicans were really working the surf while we were at the Oregon coast. Usually in small flocks, this was an individual on its own.
