Brant/Brent Goose - Branta bernicla
The brant, or brent goose (Branta bernicla), is a species of goose of the genus Branta. The black brant is a pacific North American subspecies.
It used to be a strictly coastal bird in winter, seldom leaving tidal estuaries, where it feeds on eel-grass (Zostera marina) and the seaweed, sea lettuce (Ulva). On the east coast of North America, the inclusion of sea lettuce is a recent change to their diet, brought about by a blight on eelgrass in 1931. This resulted in the near-extirpation of the brant. The few that survived changed their diet to include sea lettuce until the eelgrass eventually began to return. Brants have maintained this diet ever since as a survival strategy. In recent decades, it has started using agricultural land a short distance inland, feeding extensively on grass and winter-sown cereals. This may be behavior learned by following other species of geese. Food resource pressure may also be important in forcing this change, as the world population increased over 10-fold to 400,000-500,000 by the mid-1980s, possibly reaching the carrying capacity of the estuaries. In the breeding season, it uses low-lying wet coastal tundra for both breeding and feeding. The nest is bowl-shaped, lined with grass and down, in an elevated location, often near a small pond.
The brant goose is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds applies.
Thanks to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc...Always appreciated.
I felt sorry for this lion tamarin, knowing it would rather be in its home range of Bahia, Brazil, but that habitat has been steadily disappearing, cleared for agriculture, mining and other human endeavors. So, it's this small cubicle (or, possibly nothing) for this particular Golden-headed Lion Tamarin, seen at the Toledo Zoo, Toledo, Ohio.
Possibly the most photographed tree in the UK. This little beauty sits in Llyn Padarn which is one of the largest natural lakes in Wales.
Having seen many photographs and vlogs of this location it was great to finally go here and see it with my own eyes.
We arrived at around 5.30am to find another two really nice photographers already set up. It was pretty grey and not expecting to much of a sunrise when out of nowhere a beautiful pop of orange appeared.
Please feel free to favourite and follow.
Dangerous coastlines.
Lighthouses are already mentioned in ancient times. At that time burning fires were used on heights and cliffs by the sea or possibly, at the harbor of some great sea city, open fires on the roof of a flat tower.
Possibly the Western Palearctic's answer to the hummingbird. Not quite the same agility but it does hover for moments to feed on nectar. These were present all over Jordon but not in great numbers.
Thank you for taking a look at my images.
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 ... 💕
Just a strange, but interesting, old building found in a small town. Possibly an old garage or service station?
Possibly the most photographed rock in Coyote Buttes South, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona, seen here in golden evening light.

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

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 !
~ Done in Topaz Studio and PicMonkey for the final details ~
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 !

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!
Could this possibly be an original perspective on one of Scotland's most photographed castles? Maybe, but if so, then Per Kamperin needs a mention (see first comment below), as do the folks who decide on the Flickr Friday theme!
This is a focus merge of two shots, one for the castle and one for the mooring ring. I wish I'd taken a third shot for the slipway, but that's the benefit of hindsight.
To get the final image, I loaded the foreground into Affinity Photo, then the background as a separate layer and aligned the two images (I couldn't use a tripod with such a low perspective, so there was some camera movement). Next, I painted-in the background onto the foreground image through a mask layer.
A ring is very difficult to merge, because the blurred version ends up being bigger than the sharp one, so you lose some of the sharp background. I've therefore had to do some careful cloning to hide most of the post-processing artefacts. I've also cropped out some of the sharp foreground concrete, because it distracted from the castle.
These lovely flowers just appeared in the garden a couple of years ago. They’ve since spread providing lovely Autumn colour and pollen for the bees. Please correct me if I’ve identified them wrongly.
Possibly the most photographed bridge in the popular and beautiful area that is the "Lake District".
Possibly the most famous location in the UK to find street art and graffiti. Brick Lane is synonymous with the street art and graffiti scene in London. From Whitechapel to Shoreditch it runs up through the heart of the East End. It’s streets leading off towards Spitalfields in the west and Bethnal Green in the east all have their stories to tell.
Brick Lane has been at the heart of the East End since before the East End was a thing. So called because it was down this old track that bricks from the old brick works running along its length would be transported to build the burgeoning environs of London. It’s a street full of character. Layers of history lap over one another hinting at it’s past as a home for immigrants. It’s many different architectural styles tell a story of a place which has never stopped evolving.

I may quite possibly be the proudest of this particular photograph out of nearly all of them. This guy was taken the very last day of a Yellowstone workshop. We were all on our way back to the hotel, and I happened to glance off to my right, right next to a road, and there were two brown lumps in the snow. I got my dad to drive down the road, and.. lo and behold... moose! Two moose, in fact! One male and one female. They were so close to the car, i'm amazed that us being there didn't bother them. However, it was so very, very worth it in this awesome photograph.
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 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 the most photographed lighthouse east of the Mississippi. After the other 20 photographers went home, the sun had set, the lighting was less harsh, and I could actually take a shot without a person or tripod in it.
The Key deer is an endangered deer that lives only in the Florida Keys. It is a subspecies of the white-tailed deer It is the smallest known extant North American deer species.
On August 2019, Trump administration initiated a discussion for removing key deer from the Endangered status.
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 a swan feather floating in the very green water of the pond in the park. Do Zoom in to see the detail.
Possibly one my favourite shot form my recent visit to Thornham in Norfolk. Lovely golden tones..we love this nature reserve and creek hey hum 2023!!
