Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in profile close-up. The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes and is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It typically scavenges on carcasses. Although this is a common species, numbers of these birds are decreasing rapidly. Threats include poisoning, hunting and loss of habitat, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "critically endangered". It is a small species compared to most vultures.

Years have passed since that day that marked my life .......
this shot reminds me of that moment
I work for a Piaggio dealer ;) ;)
This box was my Mom's full of memories of my Dad (1911-1978) from a child to WW II with letters, pictures, bible from his Mom when he went to the war and metals.
Smile on Saturday.
Full of Memories.
Caught this girl in a moment of what looked like quiet reflection, and it got me wondering if such creatures actually think, they say for every idea conceived somewhere else it exists. It also took me back to the rhetorical question from the movie the Fly (1986) when Brundle asks, "Have you ever heard of insect politics?! Neither have I." As later explained insects do not have politics but therein lies just how much worse the human thinking is, we have politics and still are brutal, but have a conceited and externalising sociopolitical excuse to pardon ourselves or blame others whilst remaining so appalled at the way natural predators behave. Is it little wonder that so many people prefer the company of animals and not other people?!
Here's to a great weekend ahead, I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
This night photograph was taken from the small lily pool adjacent to ArtScience Museum. It was a breezy evening and part of the water surface was thus blurred. The water lilies in the foreground provided different effects on the reflected lights of the Museum and some high-rise buildings in the background.
DIANA KRALL - THIS DREAM OF YOU
This Dream of You
Bob Dylan
There's a moment when
All old things become new again
But that moment might have come and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you which keeps me living on
A metal printers block (well the face you can see is the rest is wood) shot on the metal lid of my MacBook.
HCT!
Have never seen the Valley of Rocks so flooded with golden light as on this recent foray with the cameras with my shoot partner. (f/14, 18 mm, 1/13th sec at ISO 64).
Shooting east at sunset - a storm to the east provided a dark backdrop to the mountains, and as the sun was setting, a blast of golden light illuminated the mountain ranges beautifully.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
Hint of hummingbird at bee balm. In monochrome.
Fiddling with curves and high key. Experimenting. Thanks for looking!

The Yellow Rose of Friendship
Once in a while a friend is found
Who’s a friend right from the start;
Once in a while a friendship’s made
That really warms the heart
Once in a while a friendship’s found
to have a lifetime through;
It really does happen,
Just once in a while,
It happened to Me and You.
By Mayda Mart
Rays of light break through the clouds and haze from the Sprague Fire on the east side of Glacier NP at Two Medicine Lake.
Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States
This is an old image of a stream flowing away from a picturesque waterfall. I was upset that I forgot to bring my ND filter for the waterfall. However, it turns out that this photo captures the waterfall in its own way.

A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.

The robin is one of the most familiar birds of the UK, regularly visiting gardens. Robins are also common in parks, scrub and woodland, making their presence known with a loud, territorial song. They sing from prominent perches right through the winter, when both males and females hold territories; indeed, they are fiercely territorial, driving off intruders and even fighting. During the breeding season, the female is allowed into the male's territory where she sets up a nest of dead leaves, moss and hair. Nests often crop up in the oddest of places, such as plant pots, old wellies and shelves, but Ivy and other shrubs are their natural choice. Robins have been associated with Christmas ever since Victorian times; Victorian postmen, who were known as 'Robin Red-breasts' because of their red waistcoats, are thought to be the inspiration for so many robins appearing on our Christmas cards. Whether it's the case or not, robins certainly make themselves known in winter with their loud, aggressive song!
Even deeper into the heart of Tunisia and closer to desert, camels appear. Large number of camels with a single herder or two. They seem to know they rule this area with their haughty and confident attitude on full display. During this trip, they became on of my favorite animals to watch and enjoy.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated!
Whatever part of the world you are in, when you see the dogwood blooming you know spring is at hand. This one was brightly lighted in the deep shadows of a wooded area in Washington, D.C., on our April 2019 trip.
Recently, we had a football tournament in Butterfield. The local team of Guatemalans won the championship.
Otra más de este espectáculo de la naturaleza. Deseando que llegue el otoño para volver a visitarla con otro vestido. Esta primavera mis tarjetas SD hacen agua y verdín.

"...one of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.”
I'm wishing I was out 'connecting' with nature but instead I'm connected to a computer and desk. BUT -- good news! It is Friday and I'm looking forward to some outdoor time tomorrow. Rain and 5 degrees in the forecast but those quiet early mornings are worth getting bundled up for!
Happy weekend all!!
At 6 weeks of age Dino my pet beardy is looking mighty handsome....I have had him for about 2 weeks now and he has just started to settle in his new surroundings. The background in his tank is rather boring so I have added a desert look ...hope you like it.. day by day he is trusting me more and more and already he has a daily bath in the laundry tub with shallow luke warm water...this gives the little fellow a chance to have a drink and a swim and since I pick him up from the tank where he lives to the tub and back he gets the contact with me which helps with bonding....I look forward to the day where he too will sit on my shoulder and go on outings with me like Roxy did.
Big Horn Sheep leaping on the rocks at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. As much as I would like to tell you I had hired a guide and spent days or hours tracking them down in the wild, I took this photo and about 150 others of them playing in the campground. They come in most mornings to get water and put on a show
I am inspired by many things. Musically by the genius of Miles Davis, hence my title which refers to, IMHO, one of the best jazz albums of all time. Likewise I come to Flickr for photographic inspiration. My views on photography and indeed the many genres of photography that I attempt have been heavily influenced by so many talented people here on Flickr. One of them is Joseph Pearson Images, a London architectural photographer who has photographed so many of the same buildings and structures around London that I have but both of us do it in our own way. Its always interesting for me to see his take on a building that I am very familiar with myself and see what his 'eye' picked out. Usually it's something I've missed and so my education continues!
Yesterday Joseph posted a picture of one of my favourite underground stations here in London, Southwark station, and it got me looking back at some of the pictures I've taken over the years in this most photogenic of stations. I was surprised to see that I'd never posted this escalator shot so thought I'd do so now. Taken pre-covid, way back in 2019.
