Tri-colored heron on the boardwalk leading to the wild bird viewing station in the Naples Botanical Garden in Naples, FL. Naples Botanical Garden is home to a unique 90-acre nature sanctuary with habitats ranging from flooded brackish marsh to dry upland scrub.
The tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) formerly known in North America as the Louisiana heron, is a small heron. It is a resident breeder from the Gulf states of the USA and northern Mexico south through Central America and the Caribbean to central Brazil and Peru. There is some post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.
Tricolored heron's breeding habitat is sub-tropical swamps. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. In each clutch, 3–7 eggs are typically laid.
This species measures from 56 to 76 cm (22 to 30 in) long, and has a wingspan of 96 cm (38 in). The slightly larger male heron weighs 415 g (14.6 oz) on average, while the female averages 334 g (11.8 oz). It is a medium-large, long-legged, long-necked heron with a long pointed yellowish or greyish bill with a black tip. The legs and feet are dark.
Adults have a blue-grey head, neck, back and upperwings, with a white line along the neck. The belly is white. In breeding plumage, they have long blue filamentous plumes on the head and neck, and buff ones on the back.
Tricolored heron stalks its prey in shallow or deeper water, often running as it does so. It eats fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and insects.

LUXOR-Habu TempleLuxor -Ramses III:s
Tempel-Medinet Habu
The temple, some 150 m long, is of orthodox design, and resembles closely the nearby mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). The temple precinct measures approximately 700 ft (210 m). by 1,000 ft (300 m) and contains more than 75,350 sq ft (7,000 m2) of decorated wall reliefs.[1] Its walls are relatively well preserved and it is surrounded by a massive mudbrick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gate-house, known as a migdol (a common architectural feature of Asiatic fortresses of the time).
Just inside the enclosure, to the south, are chapels of Amenirdis I, Shepenupet II and Nitiqret, all of whom had the title of Divine Adoratrice of Amun.
The first pylon leads into an open courtyard, lined with colossal statues of Ramesses III as Osiris on one side, and uncarved columns on the other. The second pylon leads into a peristyle hall, again featuring columns in the shape of Ramesses. This leads up a ramp that leads (through a columned portico) to the third pylon and then into the large hypostyle hall (which has lost its roof). Reliefs and actual heads of foreign captives were also found placed within the temple perhaps in an attempt to symbolise the king's control over Syria and Nubia.
In Coptic times, there was a church inside the temple structure, which has since been removed. Some of the carvings in the main wall of the temple have been altered by coptic carvings.

Whether it was in the Reflections, Paths, or the Trees Chapter of our adventures, you may have already seen vistas of Paris with the River Seine overflowing a little bit.
Some of you, cheers Wayne, may have even ask if there was some sort of a marked reference to measure the intensity of the flood.
Well, today is the day that question finally gets an answer as that scale can be seen on the right side of the picture with signs showing floods from the past.
And just so you know, lucky for us, the only episode that had a major impact on the city with the river overflowing in its lower parts was the one from 1910.
Everything has been as dry as possible since then, if you consider that the clouds we get are the extension of the weather in England.
Of all the tulips, this, too, I'm sure is a favorite! ...beauty beyond measure! This was our fifth year of going to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival...it never gets old! Such beauty and so much color to enjoy! I actually went twice this year!! haha! My husband and I went the first time on the 9th of April...of this year, and it was just too soon. We've had just too much rain and cold weather. But I went again on the 20th....and it was just about perfect! So glad I took in a second time! Well worth the time and effort! Hope you enjoy!

My mother's measuring spoons. I remember watching her use these when I was a child (they are probably older than I am). I am still using them today.
I have been wanting one of these for a long time but could not find a retractable sewing tape measure anywhere until this weekend! This one I made for ME!!!
AFRICAN HOOPOE BIRD CHARACTERISTICS
The African Hoopoe is an exotic looking bird that is around the same size as a Starling. The African Hoopoe measures 25 – 29 centimetres in length, weighs 57 grams and has a wingspan of 44 – 48 centimetres. Their plumage is a cinnamon colour with contrasting black and white stripes on their wings and tails. Their underparts, head, throat and back are also cinnamon in colour.
The African Hoopoe’s wings are broad and rounded and they have a square shaped tail which is black and shows a wide white band. Their heads have a distinctive crest with long chestnut coloured feathers which have black tips. The crest lies backwards when the bird is resting, however, if alarmed or excited, the crest opens up and displays a beautiful circular shape.
The Hoopoe’s beak is black, long and slender and slightly downward curved. Their eyes are small, round and brown in colour and their short legs and feet are grey. As with most bird species, the female Hoopoe is duller in appearance and chicks resemble the female but have shorter crests.
The African Hoopoe bird has an oil gland which produces a foul smelling secretion.
Always handy to have a tape measure at hand for those needed DIY jobs!!

The common buzzard measures between 40 and 58 cm (16 and 23 in) in length with a 109–136 cm (43–54 in) wingspan and a body mass of 427–1,364 g (0.941–3.007 lb), making it a medium-sized raptor and has a wide variety of plumages which can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but usually shades of brown. They breed in woodlands, usually on the fringes, but favour hunting over open land. They eat mainly small mammals, and will come to carrion. A great opportunist, it adapts well to a varied diet of pheasant, rabbit, other small mammals to medium mammals, snakes and lizards. They are fiercely territorial, and, though rare, fights do break out if one strays onto another pair's territory, but dominant displays of aggression will normally see off the interloper. Pairs mate for life. To attract a mate (or impress his existing mate) the male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of spring. This spectacular display is known as 'the roller coaster'. He will rise high up in the sky, to turn and plummet downward, in a spiral, twisting and turning as he comes down. He then rises immediately upward to repeat the exercise.
