Rock Pipit - Anthus petrosus
The Eurasian rock pipit is closely related to the water pipit and the meadow pipit, and is rather similar in appearance. Compared to the meadow pipit, the Eurasian rock pipit is darker, larger and longer-winged than its relative, and has dark, rather than pinkish-red, legs. The water pipit in winter plumage is also confusable with the Eurasian rock pipit, but has a strong supercilium and greyer upperparts; it is also typically much warier. The Eurasian rock pipit's dusky, rather than white, outer tail feathers are also a distinction from all its relatives. The habitats used by Eurasian rock and water pipits are completely separate in the breeding season, and there is little overlap even when birds are not nesting.
The Eurasian rock pipit is almost entirely coastal, frequenting rocky areas typically below 100 metres (330 ft), although on St Kilda it breeds at up to 400 metres (1,300 ft).[15] The Eurasian rock pipit is not troubled by wind or rain, although it avoids very exposed situations. It may occur further inland in winter or on migration.[3]
The breeding range is temperate and Arctic Europe on western and Baltic Sea coasts, with a very small number sometimes nesting in Iceland. The nominate race is largely resident, with only limited movement. A. p. kleinschmidti, which nests on the Faroe Islands and the Scottish islands, may move to sandy beaches or inland to rivers and lakes in winter. A. p. littoralis is largely migratory, wintering on coasts from southern Scandinavia to southwest Europe, with a few reaching Morocco. Wanderers have reached Spitsbergen and the Canary Islands, but records in Europe away from the coast are rare.
The Eurasian rock pipit is a much more approachable bird than the water pipit. If startled, it flies a fairly short distance, close to the ground, before it alights, whereas its relative is warier and flies some distance before landing again. Eurasian rock pipits are usually solitary, only occasionally forming small flocks.
Estimates of the breeding population of the Eurasian rock pipit vary, but may be as high as 408,000 pairs, of which around 300,000 pairs are in Norway. Despite slight declines in the British population and some range expansion in Finland, the population is considered overall to be large and stable, and for this reason it is evaluated as a species of least concern by the IUCN.
Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. 59879

Oryx is a genus consisting of four large antelope species. Three of them are native to arid parts of Africa, and the fourth to the Arabian Peninsula. Their fur is pale with contrasting dark markings in the face and on the legs, and their long horns are almost straight.
The East African oryx (Oryx beisa) inhabits eastern Africa, and the closely related gemsbok (Oryx gazella) inhabits southern Africa. Neither is threatened, though the former is considered Near Threatened by the IUCN. The gemsbok is monotypic, and the East African oryx has two subspecies; East African oryx "proper" (O. b. beisa) and the fringe-eared oryx (O. b. callotis). In the past, both were considered subspecies of the gemsbok. – Wikipedia
A Magpie in a Eucalyptus tree, Moonshine Park, New Zealand. Between 1864 and 1874 1,000 birds were brought over from south-eastern Australia and released across New Zealand in order to help control insect pests. The Australian Magpies are not related to the Magpies in the rest of the world. Now common across rural New Zealand and also suburban areas with pine trees, macrocarpa and eucalypts. The Magpie is a strongly territorial bird and during the nesting season they have been known to dive-bomb cyclists or pedestrians who stray too close to a nest. I have come to know these birds in Moonshine Park and they allow me to pass them on top of the stopbank at close quarter.
A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus. The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called sakura. They are widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mainland China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand and West Siberia. Along with the chrysanthemum, the cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms (sakura); well over 200 cultivars can be found there. All varieties of cherry blossom trees produce small, unpalatable fruit or edible cherries. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus. 17258

And now for something completely different .....
My apologies to the writers of "Good Golly Miss Molly," for ever so slightly tinkering with the lyrics, in the name of good old Flickr fun. I simply changed the word "ball" for "Tulip." See and hear how the classic song should be sung by clicking on the following link, which will take you to a fun film version.
First, though, a viewing tip. Please right click on the link, and select "open link in new tab." That way you can have the music playing in the background while viewing this series of shots at the same time. You can also switch to the video at anytime in that other window to feast on Little Richard's astonishing performance.
I, personally, found it best to scroll down each picture in time with the song. One final thing, there are twenty-eight seconds of dialogue from the film scene before The King, Little Richard, struts his stuff. It took some time to put all this together but I had fun. Hope you guys do too. So here we go, here's that link ~~~
Related to the shelduck, this pale brown and grey goose has distinctive dark brown eye-patches and contrasting white wing patches in flight. It was introduced as an ornamental wildfowl species and has escaped into the wild, now successfully breeding in a feral state.
Many thanks for any faves and comments
The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests. 6966
Madge, a 7 month old Lesser Tenrec, going for a Gerbera. She is not long awake after being in semi brumation.
Whilst she looks like a hedgehog, she is more closely related to the elephant.
The smew is is closely related to mergansers and goldeneyes. This species breeds in the northern taiga of Europe and Asia. It needs trees for breeding. The smew lives on fish-rich lakes and slow rivers. As a migrant, it leaves its breeding areas and winters on sheltered coasts or inland lakes of the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, northern Germany and the Low Countries, with a small number reaching Great Britain. On lakes it prefers areas around the edges, often under small trees. It nests in tree holes, such as old woodpecker nests. It is a shy bird and flushes easily when disturbed.
This Egyptian Goose is actually related to modern shelducks, and shares it's genus with several extinct varieties!
Taken inside of abandoned fisherman's hut (or something fish related) I have been wondering about this building many years but finally had the change to go there.

Crepis aurea ? (60% PlantNet)
Ске́рда (лат. Crépis) — род, как правило, однолетних растений семейства Астровые (Asteraceae),
Crepis, commonly known in some parts of the world as hawksbeard or hawk's-beard (but not to be confused with the related genus Hieracium with a similar common name), is a genus of annual and perennial flowering plants of the family Asteraceae superficially resembling the dandelion, the most conspicuous difference being that Crepis usually has branching scapes with multiple heads (though solitary heads can occur). The genus name Crepis derives from the Greek krepis, meaning "slipper" or "sandal", possibly in reference to the shape of the fruit.
The three tabbies are related (Cricket, Cousin, Camille). Tina is on the pillow behind Cricket's head, and Otis is behind Camille with one eye showing.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

In Sallent de Gállego, most of the population is dedicated to activities related to tourism and/or livestock, so it is common to see cows or horses in the vicinity of the town, producing bucolic images like the one shown in the photograph.

I swear everytime I post something its related to some stupid change which has occured. Ugh. The last of the MRL locomotives have finally been removed from mainline service due to BNSF PTC going live. How ironic that the MRL was actually who began this PTC project but in the end became the victim. It's truly a waste as all 5 GP35's are likely sidelined but at the very least unable to lead trains any longer. Over the last few years of its existence the MRL spent over $500,000 to upgrade all 6 GP35's with a complete rewire and upgrade of the control system. MRL 405 has an easy tell by the red antennae right behind the cab. A close eye will also reveal the MRL 404 has been completed, as the class lights it wore its entire career have been removed and tastefully patched during the rewire. This was all done in house by MRL employees, not contractors. Now, who knows what will happen to them? Always thought they were pretty neat units who didn't seem to be very popular elsewhere but for the most part were very good workhorses in local service across Montana.

Finally, something NOT fire related. The haze is just that -- not smoke. =)
I have had an interesting week or so, since the fire was contained on 7/27. I am just now beginning to get back to work and my various interests. The emotional impact of something like this is hard to assess, but finally, I feel as if I am coming out of it, enjoying the more mundane parts of my existance and experience. Thus, I wanted to share this more "classic" shot of the home I love so much
A fresh start (:
First most important, i want to apologize to everybody i may have let down, let wait or anything related to my absence.
A lot has happened in my life, good and bad, either way, it was busy!
I am a volunteer for shelters and take dogs into my home to find them a happy family, but i must train them etc, which is super fun but takes some time! :D
Then there is sl, well, i am not very social in game, i have amazing friends in real life, and sure i met awesome people in sl also, however, certain people think it is alright to say bad things about you. Or screw you over. Well, i will not let my guard down anymore!
It is hard to let people close, they make it even harder, if they lie.
I mean there is already so much bs going on in the world. Can we have and keep online as a safe space. Stop the gossip, stop the lying. Lets not go evil just because you are hiding behind screen.
Rant rant rant :p
Anyway i needed a break from all this. Now i am happy and refreshed! And ready for a new start. With this new beginning i wanted a new name.
Mori.
Hope ya`ll dig it!
With love,
Nalena. ♥
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy New Year and peace to all peoples and species who share this beautiful planet we call home <3
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos it is greatly appreciated! <3
Sally and I independently had the same reaction to this cat. We only see it occasionally, and it is elusive, but I happened to have my phone in hand for this encounter with a neighborhood cat.
All three of our tabbies came about as a result of an ex-neighbor who had 2 tabby sisters. She thought it was funny that they "[kept] getting pregnant at the exact same time" and was indiscriminate about their care and who she gave them to. So that's two litters each before Camille brought her kittens to us (and the sister had another litter). This cat could easily be from one of those litters.
We have Camille (one of the mama cats), Camille's son Cricket, and Camille's "nephew" Cousin. When we first got them, we had to get a good look at their faces to tell them apart. But Cricket's nose is longer, and he has more red in his face, Camille's eyes are larger, etc. This cat has some of all three cats.
(All of our cats--including "the stripes"--are neutered.)
Related to the Northern Mockingbird and Gray Catbird, the Brown Thrasher boasts a repertoire of songs that far outshines those two species. A secretive bird that prefers to hang out in heavy cover, they make scoring a clear photo very difficult. I caught this one on its way to check out a nearby feeder.
I wanted to find something that related to photography - and thought of the many crystal spheres I sourced from China more than a decade ago. These two are my tiniest at just over 1cm and the next largest at a little over 1 inch. When the sun shines on them they act as a focus for the sun's power, and can burn a hole in almost anything! I've burnt holes in the carpet, in cardboard and even singed leaves outdoors! I am careful now to keep them covered when not in use - or left unsupervised!! 😊
