I watched this recently fledged Osprey yesterday as it practiced its flying skills on our backyard pond. It was such a thrill to see this healthy youngster exploring the world outside the nest.
This photo was taken as he landed in a tree to take a rest.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
99 Church Street in North Adams, MA was a dental office for 71 years. I practiced dentistry for 47 years here.
Cross-country skiing has a long history in the Nordic countries. Today, this versatile sport is practiced on ready-made tracks, as here in YllÀs in northern Finland. Even today, during the darkest season and in severe frost, many enjoy this beloved species. In addition to skiing, you can then admire the ever-changing lights and colors of the North.
This is no ordinary fishing, there might be several methods of catching a fish but this one is mind-boggling. Fishermen in Sri Lanka use stilts to catch a fish. Stilt Fishing is an old tradition practiced by around 500 fishing families in Galle, in southwestern-most Sri Lanka, especially around the towns of Koggala,Kathaluwa, and Ahangama.
They usually fish during sunset, noon and sunrise, with each one taking their elevated position and balancing about 2 meters above the water. As you can see in the picture front slider, there is a vertical pole engrafted into the sea bed, attached to it is a cross bar, called petta, on which the fishermen do the balancing act. So with one hand they hold the stilt and the other hand they have a fishing rod or a line to catch spotted herrings and small mackerels, which are then kept in a plastic bag tied around their waist or the pole.
So the fishermen of that area don't mind sitting for long hours to get their catch, it seems they don't use a bait either on the hook. Since how long this custom is practiced is not known, Government document which says that according to old fishermen stilt fishing started after the Second World War.
Wenn die Sonne Blumen vor dunklem Hintergrund hell erleuchtet, freue ich mich immer sehr.Es wirkt wie ein Lichtblick. Auch in dieser Coronazeit gibt es Lichtblicke: Restaurants,GeschÀfte,Museen,Zoos,SpielplÀtze, Botanische GÀrten öffnen und einige Sportarten können wieder betrieben werden.
Dieses ist ĂŒbrigens:Rhododendron mixtum "Ribeira" vor einem japanischen FĂ€cherahorn gesehen bei Rhododendron Hachmann in Barmstedt
When the sun shines brightly on flowers against a dark background, I'm always very happy, it looks like a ray of light and hope. There is also a glimmer of hope in this Corona period: restaurants, shops, museums, zoos, playgrounds, botanical gardens open again and some sports can be practiced.
Incidentally, this is: Rhododendron mixtum "Ribeira" seen in front of a Japanese maple at Rhododendron Hachmann in Barmstedt
Day 6 of my random pilgrimage in SL and I stumbled upon some camping site.. I made a barbeque and practiced some color grading. The photo inside the tent I posted earlier ( www.flickr.com/photos/194304943@N07/51722649568/in/datepo... ) was pretty bad in my opinion, but I liked my avatar's face .. and ....... this one with the beer I don't remember?!?

Surfing is one of activities practiced on the white sandy beaches of Lofoten Archipelago in Northern Norway. Here, the Skagsanden beach in Flakstadoya Island by rainy and windy day.
Practiced some macro work on the frosty windows this morning. The sun was just coming up and started melting the frost. This was the clearest one of the batch, I will be revisiting this subject again. So many thing out of my control, like the frost formations, sun rise. Also, note to self, wear gloves next time.
For thousands of years, fishermen have used trained cormorants to fish the rivers and lakes of China. To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat. This prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat, but the birds can swallow smaller fish. When a cormorant catches a fish, the fisherman then brings the bird back to the boat and has it spit the fish up onto the bamboo deck.
Cormorant fishing has been practiced in China and Japan since around 960 AD, although these days it is largely used as a tourist attraction.

Macro Mondays:; Music
This is a traditional Romanian musical instrument called a Bucium. Made of a very light wood, it is similar to an alphorn, and was used by shepherds for communication in the mountains, We purchased it in 2014 when we visited this wonderful country: a very bumpy road took us to an isolated farm house where this, and other traditional crafts were still practiced by the owners.
âAs I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.â

Brian loved music and had a particular fondness for the emotive tones of the oboe, so his parents bought him a used oboe to see how he got on. Brian practiced diligently! But while his tutor was confident that Brian would eventually grow so he wouldn't need to stretch so much to reach all the keys, he didn't have the heart to tell Brian that he would never be able to achieve a good embouchure.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Musical Instrument'. This is my old second-hand oboe that has now been delegated to the photographic props.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
Fishing using cormorants is an ancient Chinese tradition that is still practiced today. A string is tied around the bird's neck and they are sent out into the water to catch fish. They cannot swallow the fish and they return with it to the fisherman.
In a patch of city trees wedged between parking lots and power lines, a mockingbird practiced his craft. Not on songs of meadowlarks or warblersâhe had those already. But on stranger things, it's car alarms, ringtones, and microwave beeps. even the faint two-note squeal of the subway brakes.
The pigeons shook their heads.
âRidiculous,â they cooed.
The sparrows rolled their eyes.
âYouâre embarrassing the species.â
Even the crows cackled.
âThose arenât songs, theyâre malfunctions!â
But the mockingbird didnât stop.
Night after night, he performed a medley of the cityâs oddest sounds, a one-bird orchestra of confusion and clang.
One evening, a shadow slipped through the streetlights,
a feral cat, slow and silent, creeping toward the trees.
The sparrows froze.
The pigeons panicked.
But before the cat could pounce, the mockingbird cut loose:
REE-REE-REE-REE!
(The perfect car alarm.)
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!
(The exact panic tone of a delivery van.)
MEEEEEP!
(The shriek of subway brakes.)
The cat spun in circles, ears twitching, tail puffed, and bolted back into the dark.
The sparrows stared.
The pigeons gawked.
Even the crows muttered, âWell, Iâll beâŠâ
The mockingbird puffed his chest, cocked his head, and began to mimic a laughter ringtone, just to rub it in.

Some people think the Lord of the Dance Pose in yoga was derived from the Natarajasana Indian stretch, but actually it was borrowed from the Great Horned Owl stretch, often practiced after a long sleep in the crook of a tree on a cold night.
Hello There,
Macro Mondays is a weekly theme-based challenge group. Our challenge this week was "Award."
This is a macro of my M.A. diploma. Before retiring, I practiced as a Speech/Language Pathologist. Now I refer to myself as a "Jack of all trades but a master of none!"
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic day and week!

I have a great passion for piano but haven't been able to get it out for quite some time due to space. I recently though MADE space. Yes the love seat is rather unusable in it's current place and things have been put in inconvenient places but for a short time I will have my first love out and am planning on reconnecting;) I haven't practiced in years or i would have chosen something a little more impressive to play like one of my favorite Debussy pieces. I was reading through all of the sweet comments on my last picture and I just felt so blessed by the many friendships I have gained here. I am so thankful for each of your presence, your images that inspire, your personalities that comes through the comments. I just wanted to share some moments of holiday spirit with you. I play by both note and by ear and this is obviously by ear. It's a simple cover I made up as I went so please know it is nothing fancy. Just a moment from my heart I wanted to share:)

This little lady posed so nicely while I practiced with my 100-400mm lens through the window into my backyard. As you can see, we have a bit of snow this week with more in the forecast for tomorrow. The Cardinal couple are frequently flying back and forth in our yard. They usually shy away from me when they see the shadow of the big lens in the window. But on this moment, I think she was enjoying the warmth of the morning sun too much to leave her spot.

A science (no longer practiced) that sought to transform one chemical element into another through a combination of magic and primitive chemistry. Alchemy is considered to be the ancestor of modern chemistry. The search for the philosopher's stone that would change lead and other base metals into gold was part of alchemy.
Mohamd Ibrahim, now with Parisian beret, moved to Kensington. He practiced his craft for several years in another popular area of the city. His school year now finished, he is back in business. Let's hope the tourist will come soon and boost his bottom line. Mohamd, who is now about 15 years old, is of Sudanese descent. Few weeks ago I've uploaded a photo from different encounter with him. Mohamd goes also by the name Nile Paints and started to paint on Dundas Square since about age 11.

âSocial Distancingâ: a term unheard of just a few weeks ago and certainly not practiced. This poor chap canât even get off the tram due to the mass of people, shoulder to shoulder, waiting to board. No problem in the future though, everyone 2 metres apart; unless you are using the underground system in London; which stays the sameâŠâŠ!
PS. Old picture I know, but still applies...âŠ!
we were out today - walking along the Stever river - where we met this young guy... he joined me for a while because i used a birds`song app which is called "zwitschern+" :=))) and he practiced diving and fishing... big fun on this greyingrey day...
Cute baseball fans such as these two are the reason I practiced so hard back in the day - that's how I got Beth.....hmmmm, come to think of it, she has never seen me play, maybe that's why I got her. đ
Time to check whether you have practiced your Bavarian lessons - see description of linked imageđ
Jama-Coaque
(350 a.C. â 1532 d.C.)
This culture extended over northern ManabĂ and inhabited an environment characterized by wooded hills close to the beach. The power was held by a wealthy and powerful minority. Like neighbouring ethnic groups, the people of Jama-Coaque culture practiced a terrestrial and maritime long-distance trade.
The culture and religious core was the ceremonial center of San Isidro, where several temples were constructed on a huge pyramid surrounded by a large city.
The skill of Jama-Coaque potters is evidenced primarily by the manufacture of fine human figures represented as doing certain tasks and offices Of equal peculiarity and beauty are the ceremonial figure. The attire shows the existence of a flourishing textil industry.
The Kukkolankoski rapid in the Tornionjoki is an old fishing place where the old tradition is to fish with net backs on the long end of rods. This "lippoaminen
" fishing is still practiced. Here the Tornio River is also the border between Finland and Sweden. These photos are from Sweden side.
From my archived files and a different photo. A man burns herbs in a Celtic bowl on my visit to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair in 2018.
Smudging, or other rites involving the burning of sacred herbs (e.g., white sage) or resins, is a ceremony practiced by some Indigenous peoples of the Americas. While it bears some resemblance to other ceremonies and rituals involving smoke (e.g., Australian smoking ceremony, some types of saining) from other world cultures, notably those that use smoke for spiritual cleansing or blessing, the purposes and particulars of the ceremonies, and the substances used, can vary widely among tribes, bands, and nations, and even more so among different world cultures.

Franz Weitlaner was a surgeon who practiced in rural Austria. Often alone he needed help retracting tissue so he invented this contraption. The teeth spread outward holding tissue apart during surgery. He published an article describing it in 1905. This photo was made out of 9 shots and focus stacked.
I bought a neutral density filter for our trip out west to Seattle and Olympic National Park, determined to get a photo like this. The day before I took this one, I practiced at Ruby Beach with less than stellar results. Next day we headed to Sol Duc Falls, as I tried to figure out what was wrong with my settings. We saw a little waterfall along the way, and I decided to give a little handheld practice with my circular polarizer attached to the lens - those photos were miserable, and to add insult to injury, my polarizer somehow popped off the lens and in to the water below. Not a good omen. Needless to say I was a bit nervous, least my new neutral density filter suffer a similar fate, and stayed well back from the edge for this image. My husband showed great patience as we set up the tripod, and I fiddled around with the settings and took a ton of photos before finally settling on this one - his response? So was that what you were going for?? LOL Yes, yes it was, thanks hon.
Sagadaâs most popular attractions are the hanging coffins that are high up on sheer rock face. Some of the coffins are century old. The centuries old mummification procedure practised by the Ibaloi is different from other cultures that practiced mummification worldwide. If they can afford it, the gods demand the sacrifice of more than 20 pigs and three times as many chickens for the priviledge of being buried in the caves.

Kukkolankoski is rapid located in Tornio River.This is also the border between Finland and Sweden in the north. Here, on both sides of the river, fishing is still practiced using a very old method. In it, the aim is to get the fish to the net bag, which is at the end of a six-meter long stick. Currently, there is an initiative to get this very old fishing technique on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
I happened to be there when a fisherman lifted a large 5-10 kg salmon from the rapids.
He stands knee-deep in calm water, net arcing through the air in a practiced sweep. It is a rhythm he knows well: sunlight, silence, and the soft splash of the cast. But today, he has an audience. Two manatees surface just beyond the ripples, watching like curious neighbors who forgot their lawn chairs. They do not judge his technique, but they might be taking notes. Nature has a sense of humor, and sometimes it shows up with flippers.

La pĂȘche au carrelet est trĂšs pratiquĂ©e sur les cĂŽtes de Charente-Maritime et dans les estuaires de la Charente et de la Gironde. Elle est aussi pratiquĂ©e sur les cĂŽtes escarpĂ©es de la VendĂ©e et jusqu'Ă l'embouchure de la Loire mais dans ces rĂ©gions cette tradition a tendance Ă s'estomper.
Le carrelet est un filet carrĂ© d'une superficie de quelques mĂštres carrĂ©s tendu sur une armature plane et descendu horizontalement au moyen dâun treuil depuis un ponton qui avance en mer et sur lequel est gĂ©nĂ©ralement construit un abri, voire un petit logement. AprĂšs quelques minutes d'attente, pour dissipation du trouble causĂ© par la descente, le filet est remontĂ© assez rapidement, emprisonnant en principe les poissons qui se trouvaient entre lui et la surface (un appĂąt « boĂźt » peut ĂȘtre placĂ© en son centre).
C'est une pĂȘche trĂšs rĂ©glementĂ©e en raison de la construction d'un ponton sur le domaine maritime1.
Sur 600 installations de pĂȘche au carrelet dĂ©truites par la tempĂȘte de dĂ©cembre 1999, 450 installations charentaises ont pu ĂȘtre reconstruites en respectant certaines directives « tout bois, toit en tĂŽle possible ». Pendant Xynthia (26 fĂ©vrier 2010) de nombreuses installations furent Ă nouveau dĂ©truites.
En VendĂ©e et en Loire-Atlantique les installations de pĂȘche au carrelet sont appelĂ©es des pĂȘcheries. En Charente-Maritime les autochtones utilisent plutĂŽt le terme de ponton, sous-entendu ponton de pĂȘche au carrelet, pour dĂ©signer ces installations, mais avec l'Ă©volution du langage, c'est le nom de carrelet qui est improprement utilisĂ© actuellement pour dĂ©signer l'ensemble de l'installation de pĂȘche, ce qui gĂ©nĂšre une certaine confusion, le carrelet Ă©tant uniquement le filet.
Cette pĂȘche peut ĂȘtre Ă©galement pratiquĂ©e en amateur soit avec de petits filets ronds (< 1 m2), appelĂ©s balances, simplement remontĂ©s Ă la main, souvent le long des quais des ports, soit avec des filets un peu plus grands, manĆuvrĂ©s par un treuil rudimentaire accrochĂ© le temps de la partie de pĂȘche Ă la rambarde d'un pont.
Il existe aussi le carrelet portable toujours munis d'un filet avec corde, poulie et bras mĂ©tallique ou en bois comportant Ă sa base un support et un cordage pour pĂȘcher depuis un surplomb rocheux que l'on accroche Ă une pierre. On relĂšve le filet en tirant sur une corde fixĂ©e au cadre du filet. L'appĂąt est constituĂ© de moules Ă©crasĂ©es et mĂ©langĂ©es Ă du sable que l'on jette au milieu du filet quand celui-ci est descendu.
Le carrelet peut Ă©galement ĂȘtre utilisĂ© Ă partir de bateau de pĂȘche.
En Ămilie-Romagne (Italie), ce type de pĂȘche Ă la balance existe aussi, elle s'appelle padelloni ou bilancioni.

Fishing with carrelet in Charente Maritime
The carrelet is a big square fishing net tightened on an armature and lowered by means of a winch, since a pontoon on which is generally built fishermanâs hut, this peach is very wide-spread in Charente-Maritime.
In Vendée and Loire-Atlantique carrelet fishing facilities are called fisheries. In Charente-Maritime natives rather use the term carrelet, to designate these facilities, but with the evolution of language, the name of carrelet which is currently used improperly to designate all fishing facility, which generates confusion, carrelet being solely the net.
This fishing can also be practiced in amateur or with small round nets (<1 m2), called balances (scales), simply reassembled by hand, often along wharfs or with slightly larger nets, operated by a winch rudimentary hooked time to the part of fishing to the railing of a bridge.
Translated from:
En las calles de Estambul no solo podemos saborear el pescado. Al caminar, el humo tibio de las castañas asadas y el dulzor tostado del maĂz nos salen al encuentro. Son aromas que cuentan historias sencillas: de inviernos pasados, de tardes compartidas, de manos que giran con oficio sobre el fuego.
Y el simit, crujiente por fuera, tierno por dentro, y cubierto de semillas de sésamo: es el pan de la calle, el desayuno del caminante, el compañero del té. Lo venden en carritos rojos, siempre impecables, con filas doradas que brillan bajo el sol como si fueran joyas comestibles o en simples carros ambulantes.
Estos puestos callejerosâcon sus balanzas de hierro, sus papeles de envolver, sus gestos repetidosâ son parte del alma cotidiana de la ciudad. AquĂ no hay prisa. Solo el placer de detenerse, de probar algo caliente, de mirar alrededor y sentirse dentro de una escena que no necesita guion.

In the streets of Istanbul, itâs not just fish you can taste. As you walk, the warm smoke of roasted chestnuts and the sweet char of corn greet you. These aromas tell simple stories: of winters gone by, of afternoons shared, of hands working skillfully over the fire.
And then thereâs simit: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and covered in sesame seeds. Itâs the bread of the street, the walkerâs breakfast, the companion of tea. Sold from spotless red carts, their golden rings shine in the sun like edible jewels â or from humble mobile stands.
These street vendors âwith their iron scales, wrapping paper, and well-practiced gesturesâ are part of the cityâs everyday soul. Thereâs no rush here. Only the quiet pleasure of stopping, tasting something warm, looking around, and feeling part of a scene that needs no script.
