Possibly a new friend. On my property.

It has quite the tail.

Possibly one of the same birds as last week. This Common Snipe was enjoying surveying his territory

What could possibly be more perfect than strolling along the shore with two rascally terriers? Nothing! Instant happy place. 😊

Leaving the familiarity of the farm behind, the three of us set off on a beach adventure, soaking up the magic of the salty ocean air and feeling the sand beneath our feet. When we returned home, the pups left sandy paw prints in the barn and I noticed that my mane had a few more sun-kissed highlights in it! As I mixed up a margarita and caught up with friends, I felt a contented peacefulness to start the new week.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful Monday, and that you all have glimmers of happy weekend memories to carry along with you as well. Sending love ... 💕

Possibly zero access to Flickr (hopefully not!) I will be away soon, off to Snowdonia with my lovely sister Margaret. I won't be on much at all from Sunday 14th July for a few days. I hope to have time to show you a few photos from there in future, if I manage any good ones !

This was taken in Plantsbrook Nature Reserve - not Wales - at the very end of May. Amazing to think how lovely the weather was then, how much rain we've had since - and now it's 'changeable'. That's the UK for you - 'changeable' in most ways !

Take care of yourselves and have a lovely time everyone !

And for no reason at all, apart from the fact I love Joan Armatrading and this song, here is some music for you.

Thank you for looking - every view, comment and fave is really appreciated !

a little dark, but I've been enjoying myself!

Happy Umbellifer Wednesday :))

Possibly the last time I'll ever use the keyboard shortcut "Shift + Alt + X, Q" today 😥 I think that's the thing I'm most sad to be leaving behind 😆 I started work there as a timid 26 year old, and I'll be leaving almost 17 years later having managed to fool my colleagues and customers that I've evolved into someone confident and capable.

I've made some great friends, and worked with some brilliant customers over the years. Possibly my favourite being the chap whom I've always bickered with about politics. Discussing recent events he referred to "Jeremy Cvnt the Chancellor" on a call with one of our very straightlaced PMs. PM was not amused. I was crying. Customer sent some follow-up emails to apologise. We're staying in touch.

Anyway, thought I'd post the photo I've been looking at every day for about the last year. I've deleted it from my work laptop so the gits can't have it 😆

Bye work!

Possibly a nesting pair, these two Oystercatcher were seen at Lepe where they nest sometimes, laying their beautifully camouflaged eggs among shingle and sand.

Or possibly Mrs, or even Miss Green. I had been sitting by the bird bath with the camera posied and ready, as always living in hope of something landing right in front of me, and after twenty minutes of holding the camera in one position, I decided to lower the camera to my knee to give the arms a rest. Within a second, the green finch arrived, so not even wanting to twitch a millimetre, I pressed the shutter in hope that I was roughly aimed the right way. I didn't even want to attempt to pull out the flip screen for fear of spooking the finch. Luckily, I also run the Sony on full silent shutter mode too, so I was very happy to get a shot of this flighty little finch!

Possibly a young one let me get really close full frame.

Catching up :)

Possibly the last until next winter.

Pastel is possibly the purest form of painting –

This is possibly the first time I have seen a mating pair of Brimstone and certainly the first time I have photographed a pair.

I was walking along one of the local straight paths and I saw 2 Brimstone 200 plus metres ahead of me. Instead of a quick tumble as they met these 2 stayed together. Looking through the binoculars I could see it was a male and female so I walked a little faster. However, they went into the undergrowth and I was still around 75 metres short of where they were.

It was then a case of searching for them as I was certain they would have started to mate. After about 5 minutes and just before I gave up I spotted them under a Bramble leaf.

No wonder we hardly ever see them in this position!!

Possibly the most photographed bridge in the popular and beautiful area that is the "Lake District".

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)

(Double click)

The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".

This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.

Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.

Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.

Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.

The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.

Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

Possibly one of the most spiritual and eye catching locations in Bali. This is Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, or Pura Bratan, a major Shaivite water temple on Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul.

I arrived late in the afternoon with high expectations and was prematurely disappointed by heavy clouds and poor visibility which diminished the beauty of the location. However, the setting sun broke through around 6:00 p.m. and allowed me to witness the temple in all its splendor. Do not miss this place if you ever visit Bali!

Macro Mondays -Danger

Peanut allergies are very dangerous. Please find out information on food allergies.

I do not have any allergies but know people who do.

Thank you.

Bombay Hook, DE

possibly the last pas de deux of the season

From my bedside view of the weather out of the window this morning, I see that it's grey and dull, the neighbour's maple tree blowing heroically in the wind.

It's cosy indoors catching up on Flickr friends on my tablet.

Day 15 post-op and I am remembering once more how beautiful is the quality of a good night's sleep.

Possibly the most highly photographed bird in the northern hemisphere! 'Albert the Albatross' taking a low fly-by of the Gannet colony at Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire (UK) (8616)

Possibly a male its said if the flanks are more a intense colour online who knows :)

Possibly a retirement boat judging by the name. Looks like it has been laid up a while now.

Possibly my last upload from my recent Dorset trip. It was a great trip away to get a feel for this part of the country and I'm looking forward to my next visit

Possibly a Red-tailed Hawk or Red-shouldered? If anyone can positively ID, please do!

Thank you for viewing, faveing and commenting on my images. It is very much appreciated.

Possibly half way up Ben MacDui now looking back along the way we've come along Glen Lui.

Ben Macdui is the UK's 2nd highest peak (second only to Ben Nevis) and stands at 1309m (4294ft). After descending from this Munro we make a climb to the 2nd Munro of the day, Carn a' Mhaim (pronounced Carn-ah-Vame) at 1037m (3402ft).

(possibly) the last of the high key bits from the MM group for last week.
