Second day of almost non stop rain so trips to the wetter than usual wetlands are rather limited. I took this a few days ago.

HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR XL231_Yorkshire Air Museum_former RAF Elvington

  

The Handley Page Victor is a British jet-powered strategic bomber, developed and produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company, which served during the Cold War. It was the third and final V-bomber to be operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), the other two being the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. The Victor had been developed as part of the United Kingdom's airborne nuclear deterrent. In 1968, it was retired from the nuclear mission following the discovery of fatigue cracks, which had been exacerbated by the RAF's adoption of a low-altitude flight profile to avoid interception.

 

A number of Victors were modified for strategic reconnaissance, using a combination of radar, cameras, and other sensors. As the nuclear deterrence mission was given to the Royal Navy's submarine-launched Polaris missiles in 1969, a large V-bomber fleet could not be justified. Consequently, many of the surviving Victors were converted into aerial refuelling tankers. During the Falklands War, Victor tankers were used in the airborne logistics operation to repeatedly refuel Vulcan bombers on their way to and from the Black Buck raids.

 

The Victor was the last of the V-bombers to be retired, the final aircraft being removed from service on 15 October 1993. In its refuelling role, it was replaced by the Vickers VC10 and the Lockheed Tristar.

This land monitor (varanus bengalensis) raised its head nicely as I got closer to it. The animal's snout is a little muddy from foraging - its diet is varied, including mice, ants, fruit, frogs, spiders, scorpions and beetles. Photographed in Yala, near Kirinda, Sri Lanka.

Asian water monitors (varanus salvator) have very long tails so that, if you photograph the whole animal, you can negate some of the detail around the head - so here's a close-up in profile. Photographed in Cha-Am, Phetchaburi, Thailand.

Thank you for using my photo as the Group Profile Photo ♥

Shooting these lovely birds in the mangroves can be so challenging, except when they decide to take on a higher profile, as this Great Egret did this morning. Their beauty, once a magnet for slaughter, is now safely on full display.

Ken is a German Pointer who lives the life of Riley at Bonsi a lovely estate in Tuscany. His owner is one of the sons of a great friend of my sister-in-law's.

 

The German Shorthaired Pointer is a breed of medium-sized pointing dog developed in nineteenth century Germany. It is energetic and powerful, with strong legs and great endurance. It is a versatile all-purpose gun dog suitable for hunting and retrieving on both land and water, with a strong drive to find and chase game. It may also be kept as a companion dog, though as a high-energy sporting dog, it requires significant amounts of exercise.

 

German Shorthaired Pointers have a short coat that comes in various combinations, generally a mix of liver and white. They have moderately long floppy ears set high on the head. Longer, broad, and strong, muzzles allow retrieval of heavier game. The dog's profile should be straight or strongly Roman nosed; any dished appearance to the profile is incorrect according to breed standards. Their eyes are generally brown, with darker ones being desirable; yellow or "bird of prey" eyes are a fault. The tail is commonly docked, although that is now prohibited in some countries. In competition, they are penalized if the tail is curved either up or down while the dog is moving. When the GSP is in classic point stance, the tail should be held straight out from the body, forming a line with the pointing head and body. Like all German pointers, GSPs have webbed feet, and are known for going after waterfowl in the water.

 

The German Shorthaired Pointer is a member of the Sporting Group] In 2016, CJ, a three-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, won the Best in Show award at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The Tenuta i Bonsi, set in the magical landscape of the Tuscan hills of Reggello a few kilometers from Florence, for more than a century has been devoted to producing high quality olive oil and wine and the reception of guests who want to discover the rustic charm and elegance of this beautiful Tuscan farmhouse cum Castle.

 

The history of the village is full of interest, and has its roots in the 15th century. The historic home is also of great interest, beginning as a defensive Castle of a leading Florentine family and later became the "600 Balmaceda" a convent of Carmelite friars. Its current appearance is the work of the Florentine painter Raffaello Sorbi.

 

Today, the estate is owned and managed by the family Budini Gattai, who create products of high quality: ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil and red wine IGT.

 

Tenuta i Bonsi unites tradition with modernity, with particular attention to respect for the environment and renewable energy: thanks to the skilful use of scraps from the olive pit, heat can be provided by great alternative fuel pellets which can be purchased at the Guest House.

Sana took the photo I'm using for my new profile pic, but I got a couple good shots too

I took this photo for this week's Happy Caturday group theme 'Profile View' and Filou volunteered to participate in the photoshoot. The other volunteered is a stuffed toy, a wolf who resides on my sister's sofa. Personally I think that the wolf rather looks like a coyote, he always reminds me of the Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote.

Snugs is certainly focussed on something that has given her that look that is both warm and intense. She is not completely happy this morning as it is a rainy morning and she does not like that so she can’t get out to her beloved garden. Happy Caturday from lovely Snugs and her proud companion 😊☘️💕
