Returning to one of my favourite walls in Cornwall when I was editing this image I genuinely could not decide on which crop suited it best so would appreciate any views on that? Other crop of the image is at www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/52104635258/in/datepo...
This is one assuages my 65:24 addiction😂
Couldn't resist leaving the hiker/Tog in the image!

These little birds are on the UK Conservation Red list
They are often seen perched on hedges, posts or wires, singing their jangling song. In the summer they prefer open farmland and in winter they may be found in stubbles, root crops, weedy fields and cattle yards or stockyards.

ALTHOUGH Wrens prefer to feed in the undergrowth, they typically emerge from cover periodically and perch in the open briefly.. He uttered a loud, rattling alarm call, I reeled of a few grabbed images and he was gone. Seen near the Restharrow Scrape Sandwich Bay Kent.

“The moth prefers the moon and detests the sun, while the butterfly loves the sun and hides from the moon. Every living creature responds to light. But depending on the amount of light you have inside, determines which lamp in the sky your heart will swoon.”

Fynn is the kind of cat who prefers to start the day slowly, VERY slowly. You could drop a bag of his favourite treats next to him and he wouldn't move a whisker. The photo in the comments was taken about 10 minutes later when he couldn't sleep any longer because his buddy Linus made such a fuss about THE BIRDS.
I prefer the b&w as we had to visit during the late morning and middle of the day - with extremely harsh light. I don't think the colour looks good - and the east coast sand is pale (not miles and miles of GOLDEN sand.....(grin). So..... I have converted the colour branches to black and white. The black line at the base of one of the branches is part of the bark.... :-)
I prefer this to the previous shot, what do you think?

Normally I much prefer concrete interiors but, in seeing this stairwell, I was struck by how much modern design is constantly pulling cues from traditional visions. The sweeping curves and converging arcs are all contained in contemporary concrete interpretations. This was merely a design that was at the cutting edge in the Victorian era, and now adorned with a flower display that is in keeping with that time.
Due to its diet the golden monkey prefers a habitat with abundant fruit and bamboo. The golden monkey moves in between areas depending on the season. During the season where ripe fruit is available they remain in those areas. With the beginning of the rainy season, bamboo is shooting and the golden monkeys move to such habitats. Results of studies indicate that if there is an area consisting of mixed fruit and bamboo, the golden monkeys tend to frequent that area more than areas consisting of only bamboo. Authors of one study reported that golden monkeys are most frequently seen in bamboo forests, suggesting that the species prefers this habitat.
The golden monkey can travel in various group sizes, and have been seen in small groups of three up to large groups of 62 monkeys. The groups that are found at higher elevations tend to be smaller. The golden monkey will often return to one of several different sleeping areas after a day of feeding. The monkeys often sleep in small subgroups of four, at the top of bamboo plants. They will often use a dense bamboo plant, or a combination of several bamboo plants that weave together to make a sufficient foundation for sleep. The golden monkey will often feed near the sleeping area and return to this same sleeping location day after day.

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
Would prefer a little more quality here but I like the shot. If there had been a little more light it would have been an easier photo.
It's always breathtaking to watch a prairie sunrise - the moment before the world is born, and then the spreading light. I often turn my attention away from the east or southeast, toward the landscape in the process of being illuminated. The pink blush on distant hills; the warm glow. On this outing I had three Plains Bison - older, "bachelor bulls" that prefer to be far from the chaos of herd life - and one of them added the final touch to this panorama of the Frenchman River Valley at first light.

I know most of you seem to prefer the coloured version when I post both, but the B&W is for my 365 project, which I have decided to do entirely in B&W (apart from one blue one...) - it is a challenge to get the conversion looking just so!! I am enjoying myself with this project! 365project.org/peterscherub2/365
Le héron pourpré se reproduit au bord des lacs et des marécages avec des roselières étendues. En dehors de la saison nuptiale, il préfère les zones humides plus ouvertes bordées de végétation.
Les oiseaux reproducteurs semblent être établis dans certaines zones de leur habitat.
Le héron pourpré se nourrit dans les eaux douces peu profondes, attendant sans bouger qu'une proie passe, traquant lentement poissons et grenouilles, ou les transperçant avec son long bec pointu et puissant.
Il reste dans les roselières plus que le Héron cendré. C'est un chasseur timide et solitaire, préférant la nuit et le petit matin pour chasser. Ils dorment plutôt dans les zones côtières, telles que les mangroves et les estuaires.
Le héron pourpré défend vigoureusement son territoire, gonflant les plumes de son cou et hérissant sa crête.
La parade nuptiale montre ce héron avec les plumes du cou gonflées. Le mâle et la femelle pointent leurs becs vers le haut.
Le héron pourpré se nourrit de poissons, mollusques, crustacés, insectes aquatiques, larves, reptiles, petits rongeurs et petits oiseaux.
I rarely make portraits of myself... I prefer to be an element of my photos than the main theme...
My dear Athena helped me to update me a little and here is my new version!
"I made my own favorite trips,
I experienced all the wounds that life gave me.
I counted errors and corrects but they came out confused
because I never found out who was very much at fault.
I fell asleep in hugs of mine and others,
loves that the water extinguished in time.
I hid my past moments from my friends
because I was ashamed to lie again.
A sun comes out and looks at my face
but it doesn't burn me, the fire warms me.
What I loved I made mine,
the wind that blows does not make me cold.
A sun comes out to show me what I'm worth
but the pain doesn't bother me anymore.
I'm walking away because I think I'm starting
be me, maybe for the first time.
I walked on routes that others showed me
and I drowned a thousand times in the sea of the mind.
I got drunk on dreams and lay there in a daze
and the silence always woke me up somewhere else."

((Large view)) :))) è preferibile vederla in grande !!
Stamani mi sono alzato alle 6 per scattare qualche foto di primo mattino :)) .
Quelle postate oggi sono state scattate tra le 7 e le 9 nella zona di Castelfalfi a pochi chilometri da Volterra e SanGimignano
Thanks to donnacurrall for suggesting this. So far (on Facebook) preference for unclipped wings is more than double that for clipped.
Just to be clear - these are two separate shots of the same aircraft, taken about a year apart, during which interval the detachable wingtips were reattached. Removing the wing tips gives increased manoeuvrability at lower altitudes at the expense of performance at higher levels. Generally, Spitfire aficionados prefer to see full wing tips, but it is possible that a significant proportion of Spitfires flew without them as the war progressed and the air war was conducted at lower altitudes.
Golden Gardenia is a species of flowering small tree in the family Rubiaceae, native to Asia. It is a small tree, growing to a height of 2–4 m (6–12 ft) high with a spread of 1–2 m (3–6 ft). It prefers tropical conditions and will not tolerate temperatures below freezing. (Wikipedia)

We came across this lovely tree several times during our travels in Singapore. The bright colour and interesting shape of the flowers attracted my attention each time.

Je préfère toujours les fleurs aux chocolats traditionnels:)))J'adore les "Phalaenopsis", une variété d'orchidée aux couleurs vives et variées:)))Merci à mon fils qui m'en offre à chaque visite!
Would prefer it without the peanut taken at Barons Haugh I did get it in-flight but twigs over it's face sigh...bit overexposed on whites too but thought would just post it. :-))
Thanks for stopping by.

The red-billed oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) is a passerine bird in the starling and myna family, Sturnidae; some ornithologists regard the oxpeckers to be in a family by themselves, the Buphagidae. It is native to the savannah of sub-Saharan Africa, from the Central African Republic east to South Sudan and south to northern and eastern South Africa. Its range overlaps that of the less widespread, yellow-billed oxpecker.
The red-billed oxpecker nests in tree holes lined with hair plucked from livestock. It lays 2–5 eggs, with three being the average. Outside the breeding season it forms large, chattering flocks.
The preferred habitat is open country, and the red-billed oxpecker eats insects. An adult will take nearly 100 engorged female Boophilus decoloratus ticks, or more than 12,000 larvae in a day. The red-billed oxpecker feeds on ticks found on other animals.
However, their preferred food is blood, and while they may take ticks bloated with blood, they also feed on it directly, pecking at the mammal's wounds to keep them open to more parasites.
This is a medium-sized passerine, 20 cm long with strong feet. The red-billed oxpecker has plain brown upperparts and head, buff underparts and a pale rump. The bill is red, and adults have a yellow eye ring. Its flight is strong and direct, and the call is a hissy crackling trik-quisss. – Wikipedia
Since thistles prefer warm and sunny locations, they cope very well with poor soil and drought.
Thistles include a variety of genera. Thanks to their expressive appearance, the various thistles can be easily combined with other perennials.
It's not just the thistle flowers that are extraordinary. The seed heads are also a real eye-catcher in the flower bed in winter.
Flowering thistles are real insect magnets and are therefore an important source of food. In winter, birds enjoy the seeds from the inflorescences.
Thanks to their unusual flowers, thistles are also suitable for great flower arrangements.
Da Disteln warme und sonnige Standorte bevorzugen, kommen sie mit kargen Böden und Trockenheit sehr gut zurecht.
Disteln umfassen eine Vielzahl von Gattungen. Dank ihres ausdrucksstarken Aussehens lassen sich die verschiedenen Disteln gut mit anderen Stauden kombinieren.
Nicht nur die Distelblüten sind außergewöhnlich. Auch im Winter sind die Samenköpfe ein echter Hingucker im Blumenbeet.
Blühende Disteln sind echte Insektenmagnete und daher eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle. Im Winter freuen sich Vögel über die Samen aus den Blütenständen.
Dank ihrer außergewöhnlichen Blüten eignen sich Disteln auch für tolle Blumenarrangements.
On rencontre cette espèce en Nouvelle-Guinée et dans le nord de l'Australie. Elle préfère les lagunes côtières, les mangroves et les vasières en bord de mer. Il vit en couple ou en petits groupes. La reproduction a lieu au mois de mai, le nid est souvent placé dans un trou d'arbre près de l'eau. Il se nourrit en pâturant dans les prairies ou en filtrant la vase. C'est une espèce sédentaire.

" ... Questo è il mio luogo preferito: la foresta che costeggia le cascate di Riva di Tures...
Da bambina pensavo che questo era il luogo perfetto per le fate e i folletti e così mi sedevo su un tronco ad ascoltare ogni suono, ogni piccolo segno che potesse confermare questa mia teoria ...
La luce che traspare attraverso la fitta e alta vegetazione è magica, ogni tronco e pietra è avvolto da un soffice tappeto di muschio, ogni rumore è attutito e tenue ... ancora ora quando ci vado rivivo le stesse sensazioni di allora.
E allora provate anche voi , sedeti qui e rimanete in silenzio con me e forse con un pò di fortuna riusciremo a scorgere qualcosa ..."
