Beautiful posture of young women in hotel lobby in Norway. Shot while we waited to check into hotel at beginning of boat trip up the Western Coast of Norway. I was very impressed by her perfect posture, one I have rarely seen in all most travels to all seven continents and numerous countries and cities. Spontaneously shot and not pre-planned or pre-posed.

Visitors: Invited to peruse my photostream & albums for various seasonal pix of wildlife/scenics/florals.
I popped back to see how the Wagtails were getting on at the weekend. I was hoping that the young may have fledged and the adults would be feeding them. There was was no sign of the youngsters and the female was busy building a new nest. The male was busy posturing and keeping watch over his territory.
Well it seems to work *balances in her ballet boots and tries not to fall flat on her nose* =^..^=
Picture was taken at Miss Diomita and Miss Jenny Maurer´s home.
Colobus guereza , the guereza colobus or Kilimanjaro guereza (among others), is a species that is part of the mammals Primates . It is a monkey of the family Cercopithecidae . It is a species of Old World monkeys. It is found in much of western central Africa and in eastern Africa, that is to say Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Chad. The species includes several subspecies of different appearance. It has a distinctive appearance to which its name alludes; the long fringes of white hair that run along each side of its black trunk make it a kind of coat. Its face is framed with white hair and it has a large white tail in the form of a tuft.
The guereza is diurnal and arboreal, found in both deciduous and coniferous forests. It is an adaptable species that can tolerate disturbances to its habitat and prefers secondary forest near rivers or lakes. Although it was once thought to eat only leaves, it also eats seeds, fruits and arthropods. It is able to digest plant matter with a high fibre content thanks to its specialised stomach, but it can only eat a small number of plant species at any one time. It is hunted by raptors and some mammals such as the common chimpanzee and the leopard.
The Guereza lives in social groups of three to fifteen individuals. Typically these groups include a dominant male, several females, and their offspring. It reproduces polygynously, and copulation begins with vocal communication. After a gestation period of just over five months, babies are born with pink skin and white fur that darkens to adult coloration in three to four months. The Guereza is well known for its dawn song, the males' "roar" is a method of communicating over long distances: it reinforces territorial boundaries. It also makes other vocalizations and uses body postures, movements, and facial expressions to communicate.
Les pélicans consomment presque exclusivement du poisson. Le pélican d’Amérique consomme à l’occasion des salamandres et des écrevisses, alors que le pélican à lunettes prend quelques crustacés. Les tout jeunes poussins sont alimentés avec un liquide régurgité, une sorte de “soupe de poissons”. Dès l’âge de deux semaines, ils sont nourris de poissons régurgités. Peu avant leur envol, les jeunes deviennent souvent plus trapus et plus lourds que leurs parents.
Les pélicans ont l’habitude de pêcher en groupe, un cas très rare de prédation coordonnée parmi les oiseaux. Ils se rassemblent pour former un demi-cercle à la surface de l’eau, et repoussent devant eux les poissons vers les eaux peu profondes du bord. Tout en avançant, ils écartent les ailes et plongent simultanément le bec dans l’eau pour capturer les poissons. Parfois, ils nagent avec les becs immergés tout le temps. Comme leurs becs ont une sensibilité tactile, ils peuvent détecter leurs proies sans les voir. Une autre variante, généralement employée sur les cours d’eau, consiste à former deux rangées parallèles qui nagent l’une vers l’autre. Le poisson n’est presque jamais transporté dans la poche, mais avalé dès sa capture.
En Europe occidentale, le pélican était au Moyen Âge un symbole de piété pour l'Église chrétienne : on croyait qu'il perçait sa propre chair et nourrissait ses petits de son sang. Une autre version évoque un pélican qui aurait tué ses petits, puis, au bout de trois jours, se serait percé la poitrine de son bec, et les aurait ainsi ramenés à la vie. Ces erreurs proviennent probablement d'observations superficielles. Il n'en reste pas moins que, dans l'iconographie et la symbolique chrétienne occidentale, le pélican symbolise le sacrifice du Christ, qui verse son sang pour le salut du genre humain, et la charité.
The pelican (Henet in Egyptian) was associated in Ancient Egypt with death and the afterlife. It was depicted in art on the walls of tombs, and figured in funerary texts, as a protective symbol against snakes. Henet was also referred to in the Pyramid Texts as the "mother of the king" and thus seen as a goddess. References in non-royal funerary papyri show that the pelican was believed to possess the ability to prophesy safe passage in the underworld for someone who had died.[99]
An origin myth from the Murri people of Queensland, cited by Andrew Lang, describes how the Australian pelican acquired its black and white plumage. The pelican, formerly a black bird, made a canoe during a flood in order to save drowning people. He fell in love with a woman he thus saved, but she and her friends tricked him and escaped. The pelican consequently prepared to go to war against them by daubing himself with white clay as war paint. However, before he had finished, another pelican, on seeing such a strange piebald creature, killed him with its beak, and all such pelicans have been black and white ever since. source wikipédia
The grackles, along with the starlings, have taken over the bird feeders in my garden ! Aside from being boisterous, they have been monopolizing the feeders and gobbling the seed. I am changing seed now from a combination of sunflower and peanut chips which they---and most of the other birds that visit love !----to safflower seed which is less appealing. I hope to discourage them and expect that they will leave and fly away to greener pastures for the balance of the season..... Once they do, I will go back to the original seed mixture....
L'aigrette profite de l'ombre de ses ailes pour attirer ou mieux débusquer les poissons et crevettes qui fuient ses pattes.
Green Heron (adult) - Florida Wetlands - 9/5/20
In The Wild - Palm Beach County, Florida USA
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - going out on-a-limb]
*[The Green Heron is relatively small; adult body length is about 17 inches. The neck is often pulled in tight against the body. Adults have a glossy, greenish-black cap, a greenish back and wings that are grey-black grading into green or blue, a chestnut neck with a white line down the front, grey underparts and short yellow legs. The bill is dark with a long, sharp point. - Thanks for looking]
[FYI: They are called "green" herons because of
the green color on their wings (see image below)]
