Barred Owlet
In early June of last year, I'd had the privilege and pleasure of seeing and taking pictures of a Barred Owl family in the local park.*
Two owlets were located, perched a few metres apart high up in the safety of the tree. Not too far away in another tree were the parents, both sleeping. The owlets were clearly relaxed, just acting naturally, scratching an itch every now and then, using the talons to preen and clean.. Although the light was not ideal and the setting quite congested, which made any photography challenging, I am happy I was able to take some shots of this owl family.
* Many thanks to Ivan Deng for letting me know that the owlets had fledged, and above all, for graciously offering me a ride to the trail to photograph this owl family.
I also like to mention that I truly enjoy the company of Ivan and also Don Delaney whenever I go birding with them. I am not exaggerating - their hearing is supernormal, and that has always got my day off to a happy start. I must say I am no novice in the woods, but quite often I have not heard or seen a thing until they point it out to me.

The Duke of Burgundy butterfly is sadly increasingly rare, and this sighting was a first for me.
The wings might be slightly tattered, but I felt so privileged to be able to capture it.
Three wolf cubs at the entrance of the den, France
Breeding occurs between February and April, only the alpha male and female will mate and she will give birth to the pups alone in her den. After the first month, they emerge from the den with her. It is the responsibility of all the wolves in the pack to help to raise the offspring. They will take turns caring for them while other members go out to hunt. Even with the entire pack caring for them, less than half of all pups survive the first year.
The pups in a wolf pack have a great deal of freedom and privileges. In fact, they are often able to do more and to benefit more than some of the adults within the pack that have a very low ranking.
When they are about two years old they are mature, and they may stay within their own pack and be given a place on the social ladder or they can also leave that pack and go to form one of their own. Males often leave while females choose to stay in the pack they were born into.
I had the privilege of being invited on a hawk walk last year. This walk was on a private farm with a couple of falconers and their captive bred and raised, 5 year old, male Finnish Goshawk. Rem, was out for exercise and training.
On the walk, he is released. We walk a circuit and he follows. Half way through the walk, a baited lure is thrown to draw him in. In this shot, he has just landed after successfully capturing the lure.
Once he finished eating the attached morsel, he is launched again, and the return walk to the vehicles begins, where the lure with more food on it, brings him in a final time.
I was fascinated by his character and beauty, perhaps especially so, as this is a species that does not naturally occur here.

Weather was disappointing during my trip to Hungary and this male Red-footed Falcon was drying out after a wet start to the day. Still a great privilege to see at close quarters.

Krzywiń is a small town in the province Greater Poland, with approximately 1,700 inhabitants. It was a private clergy town belonging to the Benedictine abbot in Lubin. The first preserved mention of Krzywiń as a town comes from 1272. In 1382, the city was destroyed during domestic fights, the reconstruction took place half a century later. In 1447, the location privilege was renewed. The center of the development was a Market Square with a town hall (the present one comes from 1905) in the south-eastern frontage. In the middle of the Market Square there is a statue of St. Wawrzyniec street and the frontages are built with houses from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The market was revitalized in 2014 and is a major tourist attraction.

Krzywiń jest małym miastem w woj. wielkopolskim, liczącym około 1700 mieszkańców. Było prywatnym miastem duchownym, należącym do opata benedyktynów w Lubiniu. Pierwsza zachowana wzmianka o Krzywiniu jako mieście pochodzi z 1272 roku. W 1382 roku miasto zostało zniszczone podczas walk domowych, odbudowa nastąpiła pół wieku później. W 1447 miało miejsce odnowienie przywileju lokacyjnego. Ośrodkiem zabudowy był czworoboczny rynek z ratuszem ( obecny pochodzi z 1905 roku) w pierzei południowo-wschodniej. Na środku Rynku znajduje się figura św. Wawrzyńca a pierzeje zabudowane są domami z przełomu XIX i XX wieku.
Rynek był rewitalizowany w roku 2014 i jest dużą atrakcją turystyczną.

I have a lot of kitties, so Shelby feels very outnumbered and gets pretty insecure sometimes, so I really have to reassure him how much I truly DO love him! (note the little tear in his eye... )

In this street scene, the monochromatic tones add a sense of starkness and contrast to the image, emphasising the juxtaposition between the person’s difficult circumstances and the opulence represented by the car. It makes me reflect on the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and raises questions about social responsibility and compassion in the face of such visible disparities.

I found this morning glory last week at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Here's some information about the flower.
I'm using executive privilege in inviting this into the Abstract Flower(p)art pool.

These two have been my favourite models when it comes to horses. Just recently they were put down at the old age of 28 and 29 yrs. It was an act of mercy as this winter would have been to much for their declining health.
I see it as a privilege to have gotten to know them a little because I have never seen such close friendship with animals. Though they had a wast land to stay on they were never more then a few meters apart and it was almost impossible to photograph just one of them at a time.
I was fortunate to see them and give them there last bite of bread the day before and take the picture of them here below. I am very fond of that picture as I feel it expressing their readiness for a new world.
Farewell my friends.
In November last year, I had the great privilege of being taken to a private working flower farm, hidden in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges National Park in Silvan on the outskirts of Melbourne. The growers specialise in crocuses, Japanese water irises, orchids, rare species of plants from South America and California, and beautiful heirloom peony roses. As a departure gift after a lovely afternoon wandering the greenhouses and fields, the owners gave me a bunch of beautiful pink Sarah Bernhardt peonies which have wonderfully furled petals.
As the weather was beautifully fine in the days following my visit, I took the peonies in their vase out onto the garden to photograph them against the beautiful blue sky dusted with white, fluffy clouds, and against the rich green of my lawn. Imagine my delight, when a Heteronympha Merope (Common Brown) butterfly landed on one of the blooms just as I was photographing them! Now, I will happily confess that I admire any photographer who is quick enough to capture a butterfly in a shot, as I am usually far too slow to do so myself. However this butterfly was remarkably obliging and stayed on the bloom, basking in the sunshine, just long enough for me to take three photographs before it flitted away again!
The theme for the 3rd of August for “Smile on Saturday” is “combination of flora and fauna”. I was originally going to use another shot of a bee amongst some spring blossoms, but as I used a similar shot for “Looking Close on Friday’s theme of “bugs & co” on the 5th of July, when I remembered these photos from my archive, I decided to make a photo collage and submit them instead. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Heteronympha Merope, or the Common Brown, is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, endemic to the southern half of Australia. The wingspan is about sixty millimetres for males and seventy millimetres for females.
Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt' is an exquisite herbaceous peony with ruffled, flamingo-pink double blooms that open from large and rounded buds. 'Sarah Bernhardt' is by far the best-known and most loved peony in the world. In fact, it’s so popular that it has become the face of peonies in general. This heirloom plant from 1906 is also delightfully fragrant.

~Marcus Aurelius~
I see it all before me:
the days of love and torment;
the nights of rock-and-roll.
I see it all before me.
Sometimes my spirit's empty;
don't have the will to go on.
I wish someone would send me energy.
Give me something.
Give me something to give.
Oh, God, give me something:
a reason to live.
My body is aching.
Don't want sympathy.
Come on. Come and love me.
Come on. Set me free.
Set me free.
The genus Caria is a small, but flamboyant and eye-catching, glittering bunch.
The genus has only 14 species, most of them confined to the Upper Amazon and the foothills of the eastern Andes, with two species in Central America and Mexico. (see my Panama album for a photo of the Brilliant Greenmark (Caria mantinea) that I had the privilege to photograph at a mountain elevation in the Cloud forest).
Only one species, Caria ino (Red-bordered Metalmark) has a range that encompasses the United States and it only resides in a thorn-scrub habitat of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
By now you probably wonder about the common name. Why "red"? The answer next time.
Metalmark/Greenmark family (Riodinidae/Riodininae)

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what the color. - Maya Angelou
We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. - Jimmy Carter
I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it’s own greatest strength - it’s diversity. - Melissa Etheridge
Civilizations should be measured by the degree of diversity attained and the degree of unity retained. - W.H. Auden
If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear. -

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is an entrance to Two Temple Place. Two Temple Place is one of London’s hidden architectural gems. Completed in 1895, this stunning neo-Gothic mansion was built for William Waldorf Astor as his London Estate Office. It hosts exhibitions and is available for exclusive hire. The building is owned by the charity The Bulldog Trust.
Their 2025 exhibition explores the overlooked richness and diversity of working-class life and creative expression from the 1950s to now.
From
twotempleplace.org/exhibitions/lives-less-ordinary/:
Challenging long-standing inequities and misrepresentation, this exhibition will present compelling assertions of pride, tenderness, resilience, humour and hopefulness, and moments of play, joy and rest. Looking beyond the often reductive narratives of crisis and struggle that traditionally characterise representation of working-class people and communities in British arts institutions, Lives Less Ordinary champions a gaze from within, from artists from working-class backgrounds who have used their creativity to reflect wide-ranging experiences and identities, depicting and defining their culture and communities on their own terms.
Lives Less Ordinary will bring together ceramics, film, painting, photography and sculpture from wide-ranging public collections, archives, and contemporary artists across the UK, to explore a nuanced and authentic reflection of working-class experience, within an architectural setting that both manifests and interrogates wealth and privilege.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a wide-ranging programme of cultural events for adults and children including talks, lectures, demonstrations, workshops and Wednesday Late openings until 9pm, as well as the acclaimed Two Temple Place programme for state sector primary schools.
Happy Every Day is Stairs Day!
