The only true time which a man can properly call his own, is that which he has all to himself; the rest, though in some sense he may be said to live it, is other people's time, not his.
-- Charles Lamb

Small dark dragonfly with a pale creamy white face.
Male: black with red-orange markings.
Female: black with yellow markings.
It requires relatively deep, oligotrophic, acidic bog pools with considerable rafts of Sphagnum at the edges in which to breed.
Larvae also occur among waterlogged Sphagnum in depressions devoid of standing water.
The larvae live within the matrix of submerged and floating sphagnum and are confined to waters without fish. Away from its aquatic habitat it also requires scrub or woodland, which provides important roosting and feeding sites.

Zenaida auriculata (Eared dove / Tórtola torcaza)
The Eared Dove is a resident breeder throughout South America from Colombia to southern Argentina. It is a close relative of the North American Mourning Dove. The head has a grey crown, black line behind the eye, and the blue-black on the lower ear coverts. These black markings give the species its English and specific name.

Have a lovely day ♥
Update:
She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Jan 25, 2021.
A group of us spent the last sunset of an awesome New Zealand South Island adventure pier-hopping and chasing the light until we ended up in front of some wonderful melted wood at the tranquil Lake Wakatipu (just down the road from Queenstown).
The tranquility was soon after turned on its head by one of our number jumping into the water to light paint the pier and spell some choice words, but that's another story.
Dark Forboding Sky....
Digging through more of my archives from the last couple of months I found a couple more that I think would look great in my photostream.
Another shot from my excursion to catch the sunrise. This one really has a more somber mood than I would usually post; as it has this ethereal quality that really speaks to the dawn and my effort to capture it.
I must say, I love the dynamic range of this camera; It really frees me up to explore the low light conditions around me. Thank you Nikon…for an excellent, affordable alternative to the mega-pixels and mega-dollar alternatives.
Please let me know what you think in the comments. And thanks for viewing.

Boss (about 20 yrs old) jumping down from the stone stair!
Despite his age, he is very versatile!
Taken on Feb 10th, 2020.
Simha is beautiful all over, but the white markings on his paws, chest and belly make him even more beautiful. However, the most outstanding part of his body is his amazing amber eyes.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

White-browed Scrubwren
Scientific Name: Sericornis frontalis
Description: White-browed Scrubwrens are mostly dark olive-brown above, while the throat is buff grey and the flanks, belly and rump are dull rufous. They have a white line above the eye and another below the eye. The area around the eye between the lines is black, becoming greyer near the ear. The eye is light cream. Males and females are similar, but the females are slightly duller, particularly on the face. Subtropical and tropical populations are more yellow underneath, males having an almost black facial mask. Other populations along the southern coastline have dark streaking on the throat. Young White-browed Scrubwrens are similar to the adults, but are generally duller, with more chocolate-brown backs and duskier faces.
Similar species: The Large-billed Scrubwren, Sericornis magnirostris, shares part of its range with the White-browed Scrubwren. It is lighter, largely uniform brown in colour and lacks any markings on the face. The larger Yellow-throated Scrubwren, S. citreogularis, has a red-brown eye, is darker on the face and has a yellow wash on the throat, eyebrow and wings.
Distribution: The White-browed Scrubwren is the most common and widespread of Australia's five species of scrubwren. Its range extends from northern Queensland, in a broad coastal band through South Australia to the mid Western Australian coast, and Tasmania.
Habitat: The White-browed Scrubwren lives in rainforest, open forest, woodland and heaths. It is usually seen in pairs, low down in the thick vegetation.
What does it do?
Feeding: White-browed Scrubwrens feed mostly on insects and other small arthropods. Occasionally, they eat some seeds. Birds feed in pairs among the thick vegetation of the forest floor.
Breeding: The nest of the White-browed Scrubwren consists of a large ball of grasses and other plant material, a side entrance tunnel leading to a cup lined with feathers. This is normally located on or near to the ground, in thick vegetation, but may be in a tree fork a few metres high. The eggs are pale blue to pale purple and are spotted with brown at the base.
Calls: The call is an almost persistent harsh chattering of scalding notes, especially when disturbed. White-browed Scrubwrens are also accomplished mimics.
Minimum Size: 11cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 12cm
Average weight: 12g
Breeding season: July to January

Kohleria is a New World genus of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The plants are generally tropical herbs or subshrubs with velvety stems and foliage and brightly colored flowers with spots or markings in contrasting colors. They are rhizomatous and commonly include a period of dormancy in their growth cycle.

Lions are my favorites of the big cats. They like to hunt, fight, play, love, bond and, unfortunately, sleep. Males are protective of their territory and leave a message at the proverbial post office, whenever they pass by. It was fun watching even young males stop by the post office and check the mail, even if they didn’t leave their own personal scent message. This big guy checked the post office for messages and left one of his own. (Panther leo) (Sony a1, 70-200mm lens @ 121mm, f/5, 1/500 second, ISO 640)
