At first I thought this was a Black and Red Blister Beetle, but I'm not so sure because of its hairy head. Perhaps one of you with more bug experience will be able to help ID. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and weekend!

The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for its unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
The stream running through the village is crossed by two small bridges.

Scientific name: Onychoprion anaethetus
Trinomial name: Onychoprion anaethetus melanopterus
Ssp name: O. a. melanopterus
Common name: Bridled tern
Nombre: Charrán monja, Charrán embriado
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
As per Wikipedia:
The bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is a seabird of the family Laridae. It is a bird of the tropical oceans. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. The genus comes from onux meaning "claw" or "nail", and prion, meaning "saw". The specific anaethetus means "senseless, stupid".
This species breeds in colonies on rocky islands. It nests in a ground scrape or hole and lays one egg. It feeds by plunge-diving for fish in marine environments, but will also pick from the surface like the black tern and the gull-billed tern. It usually dives directly, and not from the "stepped-hover" favoured by the Arctic tern.
(Culicicapa ceylonensis)

This charming little bird, despite its name, it is not actually a canary or a true flycatcher. It was long classified as a member of the Old World Flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. However, recent genetic analyses have revealed that it actually belongs to a distinct family, Stenostiridae.

Hope the name doesn't say it all: one of the most beautiful high valleys is the Verpeil Valley in the Kaunertal. The starting point is the Verpeilhütte, from this imposing backdrop you head towards the Verpeilspitze (approx. 3,400m), for example.
The well-named Yellow-throated Warbler shows off its bright yellow throat in the canopy of forests in the southeastern United States. It hops up branches, working its way high into the canopy probing for insects in crevices and clumps of pine needles, much like a Brown Creeper or Black-and-white Warbler. Unlike those birds, the Yellow-throated Warbler is gray above with a black triangle below its eye and a white eyebrow. It is also one of the few warblers that can be found during the winter in the U.S.
Many warblers migrate from South America to Canada each year, but Yellow-throated Warblers are almost homebodies by comparison. They nest farther south than most warblers, winter farther north, and are even year-round residents in parts of the southern U.S.
I found this one in my backyard. Polk County, Florida.
Scientific name: Mellisuga minima
Common name: Vervain hummingbird
Nombre: Zumbadorcito, Zumbador verbena, Zumbaflor
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
According to Wikipedia: Mellisuga is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae. They are notable for being the first and second smallest bird species in the world.
The genus was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the vervain hummingbird as the type species.[ The name Mellisuga is a combination of the Latin words mel or mellis, meaning "honey" and sugere, meaning "to suck".
Phragmites australis - Roseaux pharagmites (Poaceae)
Invasive Phragmites is a perennial grass
Names: Reed, common reed, reedgrass, pool-reed, spire, streeds.
Le phragmite envahissant est une graminée vivace
Noms communs: Roseau à balais, Sagne. roselières, sagnier, phragmite, roseau des marais, grand jonc, canne à balais, balai-de-silence.
Scientific name: Alauda arvensis.
The skylark is a small brown bird, somewhat larger than a sparrow but smaller than a starling. It is streaky brown with a small crest, which can be raised when the bird is excited or alarmed, and a white-sided tail. The wings also have a white rear edge, visible in flight. It is renowned for its display flight, vertically up in the air. Its recent and dramatic population declines make it a Red List species. Info: RSPB.

The name and various other features of Brill were used by J. R. R. Tolkien as the basis for the village of Bree in The Lord of the Rings. He also used other nearby places in Oxfordshire as part of the Shire, sometimes using the same names, such as Buckland. [From Wikipedia]

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
The name of that hotel is not accidental, according to some modern theories Santorini was the island of Atlantis Plato spoke about.
You can find the story here:
"Named for the rich red hues that many Fox Sparrows wear, this species is nevertheless one of our most variable birds, with four main groups that can range from foxy red to gray to dark brown." "allaboutboids
Our handsome feathered visitor is tough to photograph. Can't be bothered to find a stylish perch to pose on. Tends to have his head down looking for tasty treats on the ground.

Scientific name: Buteo buteo.
Feeding: Buzzards are big birds, more than capable of taking sizeable birds and animals but, more often than not, they will target smaller prey. Rabbits are an important food source, and the birds suffered during the height of myxomatosis, but they will also take smaller mammals. Compared to all other raptors, Buzzard’s digestive systems are able to deal with a poor-quality diet and, in winter when other prey is hard to find, they are able to feed mostly on earthworms, beetles and other small invertebrates. These will be hunted on foot, and you can find Buzzards regularly sitting on the ground. In favoured fields, large numbers can gather and, although somewhat tolerant of each other, disagreements will break out if individuals get too close to others. In certain areas, usually in the uplands, Buzzards may hover when searching for food. Info: Hawk and Owl Trust.

The appropriately named Steep Bank Creek originates in Oyster Creek more than 3 miles north as the Great Blue Heron flies, wends it way west, then east, passing by my subdivision 1 mile to the north where it drains Double Lake during heavy rains. It then flows on to Riverstone Wetlands where this photo was taken, then south for 4 more miles as that Heron flies where it joins the Brazos River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the optimistic scenario, of course. Speaking of that Great Blue Heron, here it is in Steep Bank Creek, Sugar Land, Texas.
Scientific name: Sitta europaea.
The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill and short legs.

I took this shot with and without the flash. I loved it without the flash! It seemed very...well...elegant! :) I used a crosshatch stroke and nothing else so viewed in original size you can see it. Very subtle but again...elegant. Have a blessed day!

Nycticorax is a genus of night herons. The name Nycticorax means "night raven" and derives from the Ancient Greek νύκτος, nuktos "night" and κοραξ, korax, "raven". It refers to the largely nocturnal feeding habits of this group of birds, and the croaking crow-like call of the best known species, the black-crowned night heron.
These are medium-sized herons which often are migratory in the colder parts of their ranges.
Adults are short-necked, relatively short-legged and stout herons; the two extant species both have a black crown and a whitish belly, while the wings, chest, neck and auriculars are grey or rufous depending on the species. Young birds are brown, flecked with white and grey, and are quite similar to each other in the extant species. At least some of the extinct Mascarenes taxa appear to have retained this juvenile plumage in adult birds.
Night herons nest in colonies on platforms of sticks in a group of trees, or on the ground in protected locations such as islands or reed beds. Three to eight eggs are laid.
They stand at the water's edge, and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals. During the day they rest in trees or bushes.
Scientific name: Turdus philomelos.
Famous for smashing open snails and for the sweet song which gives this bird its name. The song thrush was once a common sight in UK woodland, but is sadly in decline. Info: Woodland Trust.

Have we played this game before? I went back to my favorite abandoned car lot the other day and lo and behold something new has been moved in. It looks a bit like a Saab to me, but I am not that knowledgeable about cars. This car was a hideous lime green at one time, but was repainted white. It must have been done at an Earl Scheib Paint Shop, because it didn’t take.
Anyway, who will be the first to name the make? Extra bonus points are awarded for the year.
Inscribed on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague are the names of the ca.78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis.
John Hiatt - The River Knows Your Name
www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1rwwFTl2vM
Oh the river knows your name
And your tears falling like the rain
All around you suffering and pain
Oh the river knows your name
And the river hears you cry
As the lightning cracks the open sky
As your Momma sings a lullaby
Oh the river she knows why
Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down
Let the river take away
All the words you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away
Oh the river she knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash to the Seine
No two journeys are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name
Oh the river knows your name
Dedicated to all those who feel forsaken and forgotten
Schie is the name for four waterways in the area of Overschie, South Holland, the Netherlands. There are the Delftse Schie, the Delfshavense Schie, the Rotterdamse Schie and the Schiedamse Schie. The existence of these four streams is the result of medieval rivalry among the cities of Delft, Rotterdam, and Schiedam for toll rights.
In 1903, a dike broke near Kandelaar, nearly draining the entire Schie into the low-lying surrounding fields.
In 1933, the Coolhaven (Cool harbor) was completed that provided a new and better connection between the Delfshavense Schie and the Nieuwe Maas, reducing the shipping on the other Schie canals.
After the bombardment of Rotterdam at the beginning of World War II, the rubble of the ruined city was used to backfill the Rotterdamse Schie. Only a small section at Overschie remains of the Rotterdamse Schie.
In 1989, the Delftse Schie between Delft and Rotterdam was transferred from municipal to provincial jurisdiction.
The Delfshavense Schie is now the main shipping connection between the Delftse Schie and Nieuwe Maas. Furthermore, it is also used for water management. On the other hand, the Rotterdamse Schie is mostly infilled and the Schiedamse Schie is little used for boating.
Scientific name: Plectrophenax nivalis.
Only a few pairs of snow bunting breed here, so look out for this striking black-and-white bird in winter around Scotland, the North West and the East coast of England. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.

Come in my room tonight
Undress in the dying light
Where I have been waiting for you These days it’s all I ever do
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
This winter has been very long
I’ve hardly ever seen anyone
But spring has come and everything’s new
Now I have been sleeping with you
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
When I lie awake
Dreams of dread and wonder Dance before my eyes
Was this really meant for me?
Oh, my God, what a nice surprise!
When will I see you again?
There’s a line in the palm of my hand
That’s running deep and red as love
You take me with you when you fall
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name
Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
Just for once in my life
I wanna know that what I got is good enough
Guess we all will have our time
Must be a moment when it all adds up
So, when will I see you again? Baby, it’s not over, it’s not over
