So happy !!
This time I could approach and get a close up on a blackbird
So happy because I can barely approach them, but cold time was helpful.
Please zoom in for more details (6K photo)
Tres content !!
Cette fois j'ai pu m'approcher et faire un gros plan sur un merle
C'est un oiseau que j'ai vraiment du mal à prendre en photo, mais les températures basses m'ont aidé
Veuillez zoomer pour plus de détails (photo 6K)

Monterosso al Mare est le plus vieux village des Cinque Terre et le plus grand, il ne ressemble en rien aux autres villages. Contrairement à eux, il a la particularité de ne pas être suspendu à un promontoire rocheux à la manière des autres villages, et c’est le seul des cinq villages à avoir une grande plage accessible.
Monterosso al Mare is the oldest village of the Cinque Terre and the largest, it does not look like other villages. Unlike them, it has the distinction of not being suspended from a rocky promontory in the manner of other villages, and it is the only one of the five villages to have a large accessible beach.
When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!
I was very impressed by the rich colour of this Red-shouldered Hawk. It was so red...I had to walk a half mile in the field to get close enough for this shot. I'm never comfortable walking in a field or just leaving the trail with all the snakes and the venymous critters I can find. :-)
J'étais vraiment impressionné par les couleurs riches de cette Buse. La forme foncée de l'ouest est tellement plus rouge que la forme de l'est. Bref, j'ai dû marcher plus d'un demi km dans un champ pour me rapprocher de cette buse. Je ne suis jamais à l'aise de quitter les sentiers avec tous les serpents et les créatures venimeuses que je peux y trouver. :-)

En peligro de extinción se encuentra una especie animal, cuando su existencia y reproducción no se puede desarrollar en ninguna parte del mundo. Es decir que ya nunca se podrá volver a ver.
An animal species is in danger of extinction, when its existence and reproduction cannot be developed anywhere in the world. That is to say, it will never be seen again.
Eine Tierart ist vom Aussterben bedroht, wenn ihre Existenz und Fortpflanzung nirgendwo auf der Welt entwickelt werden kann. Das heißt, es wird nie wieder gesehen.
Une espèce animale est en danger d'extinction, lorsque son existence et sa reproduction ne peuvent se développer nulle part dans le monde. C'est-à-dire qu'on ne le reverra plus jamais.
Plus un homme est libre de tout préjugé, moins il sera adapté à la vie purement sociale.

Première photo à Saint-Jean-de-Monts . Une première photo sans post-traitement. Réalisée avec l' option automatique de la balance des blancs. On peut constater l' impact du vent de sable saharien sur la teinte générale qui vire au plus que jaune ! Pour les photos suivantes ( merveille du bouton " réglages rapides" de chez Fuji ) , j' ai positionné en mode " priorité aux blancs " , ce qui a eu pour effet de réduire fortement la dominante jaune .
The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.
Design
The development of the Plus 8 was led by Maurice Owen, an engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified chassis from the Plus 4, altered to accept the Rover alloy block 215 cu in (3.5 L) V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Plus 4's Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited-slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, 1995 the body widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis and the wings widened to accommodate larger tires to handle the increasing power and trend for lower profile and wider tires. The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches (1,400 mm) wide and the last was 64 inches (1,600 mm) (with an optional "widebody" at 67 inches (1,700 mm)) From the 1960s and (according to all auto magazines) through the 1980s for acceleration between 20-80mph, the Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car. To this day, early Plus 8s are frequently the winners in the 1960-1970 class in the UK.
In 2002, Morgan created a "LeMans Edition" with similar exterior feature to the 1960s Plus 4 LeMans winner. In 2003, Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. The original brochure also referenced the fact that the Plus 8 was to be discontinued the following year.
Following the discontinuation of the Rover V8, production of Plus 8 ended in 2004. A revised Aero, powered by a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, was placed on an Aero chassis, with Aero 8 suspension, axles, brakes, steering, gearbox, and altered wings was introduced in 2012, They also called this model "Plus 8" and it was sold concurrently with the Aero 8 from that date until the elimination of the Aero line-up in 2020.
In 2014, Morgan created another edition called the Plus 8 'Speedster' models based on the later Aero configuration noted above. It began as a limited edition, but production was not limited to the originally advertised 60 examples. This limited run forwent the traditional roof in favor of a small fly screen and hidden roll bars behind the front seats. Pitched as an entry-level Plus 8 model, they went on sale for £69,999.

O Columnas de Hércules. Son dos torres gemelas de 126 metros de altura en el municipio de Los Barrios; Cadiz, simulan las dos Columnas de Hércules del estrecho de Gibraltar, donde en la antigüedad decían que se acababa el mundo, de ahí el Non Plus Ultra, (que esta incrustado en su fachada dicha frase) que significa; ‘No existe tierra más allá"

So, what do you get a very-curious-about-everything man who acts like it's his seventh birthday?
After taking the shot in the first comment box below, I casually said, "Those would be kind o'cool for a photography opportunity-slash-experiment." Well, wouldn't you know the Amazon driver shows up a couple of days later. Fascinating how that kind of thing happens, really.
