Hyenas live together in clans. Their dens are community dens, the puppies of a clan grow up in them together.
Contrary to their reputation, spotted hyenas are excellent hunters.
They are fascinating animals with a distinctive social behavior.
I like them!

Newport, Rhode Island gained a reputation as a playground for the rich and is home to some of the most impressive mansions from America's gilded age, but the area has always been home to a working maritime industry, as well, with a rich nautical history. Castle Hill Light is small at only 34', and far from opulent, but it performs its duty with the steadfast resolve of a New England waterman, regardless of the conditions.
Remotely located at the end of Ocean Drive, this granite guardian is an active navigation aid for all vessels entering the East Passage of Narragansett Bay between Conanicut Island (seen in the background) and Aquidneck Island.

The goose shown on the right (foreground) is the Embden Goose originally from Germany with a reputation for chasing and nipping passers-by. Geese are incredible intelligent animals, which, if raised properly will become friends for life.
Thanks for visiting!
Taken a few months back in the Kent coastal town of Whitstable. In general seagulls in the British coastal resorts have a bad reputation for their aggressive behaviour, well deserved I should add. Should you just be tucking into your lovely bag of chips (fries) you'd better beware that if you take your attention away for even a second then chances are one of these guys will be swooping in for a free meal. It can scare the bejesus out of you! And if they don't steal your food they just might leave you with something else in the form of an embarrassing white streak down your back, or heaven forbid, on your head!
** Please read **
I'm going to be leaving this message on my next few posted images. This is to let the photographers that I follow know that due to the immense amount of time it takes me to go through all the photos that appear in my Flickr stream each day I am setting my stream to show only one image per day per person. It's either that or get Flickr burn-out. Apologies in advance if your photos don't get as much of my attention as they used to. Hopefully people will understand my reasons for doing so. Thanks.
Clover's reputation has waxed and waned over the last century. Once considered a sign of a well-managed lawn, clover came to be considered a weed only after broadleaf herbicides hit the market.Today, gardeners are growing wise to the plant's many benefits. They plant clover to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, and promote a healthy lawn.

Maybe the third or fourth most common bird here... unlike the other commons, this one is entertaining and I think its reputation as an intelligent bird is well earned also. It's a great photo subject and will hop up into a tree for you for two or three Jordanian Dinars; very cooperative...
On Friday, there were eight or these sort of guarding this puddle, say 90 meters from a leaking irrigation pipeline and they seemed to be protective of the area holding two Bluethroats, two Robins, three Prinia and a pair of Chiffchaffs away... fun watching... could have been two or three Dead Sea Sparrows here also but I only saw enough of them to say they were sparrows... I was also hoping for some Linnets but they never showed up...
The reputation of this “resistance nest”, situated in Colleville, stems from the fact that the US landing forces suffered enormous losses as a result of the defensive fire of this strongpoint.
I fall in love when I clapped my eyes with this cool wall mural street art.
One can certainly say, that these Street Artists, know how to brighten up any old buildings, with their fantastic colourful fantasy artwork!
I really enjoyed walking around the streets of Manchester, with its pleasant atmosphere and its reputation of being cool... Which it certainly is!
Cheers and thanks for cool compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!
Sparrowhawk - (M) Accipiter Nisus
Double click to view
Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 g (18 oz) or more.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk is found throughout the temperate and subtropical parts of the Old World; while birds from the northern parts of the range migrate south for winter, their southern counterparts remain resident or make dispersive movements. Eurasian sparrowhawks breed in suitable woodland of any type, with the nest, measuring up to 60 cm (2.0 ft) across, built using twigs in a tree. Four or five pale blue, brown-spotted eggs are laid; the success of the breeding attempt is dependent on the female maintaining a high weight while the male brings her food. The chicks hatch after 33 days and fledge after 24 to 28 days.
The probability of a juvenile surviving its first year is 34%, with 69% of adults surviving from one year to the next. Mortality in young males is greater than that of young females and the typical lifespan is four years. This species is now one of the most common birds of prey in Europe, although the population crashed after the Second World War. Organochlorine insecticides used to treat seeds before sowing built up in the bird population, and the concentrations in Eurasian sparrowhawks were enough to kill some outright and incapacitate others; affected birds laid eggs with fragile shells which broke during incubation. However, its population recovered after the chemicals were banned, and it is now relatively common, classified as being of Least Concern by BirdLife International.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk's hunting behaviour has brought it into conflict with humans for hundreds of years, particularly racing pigeon owners and people rearing poultry and gamebirds. It has also been blamed for decreases in passerine populations. The increase in population of the Eurasian Sparrowhawk coincides with the decline in House Sparrows in Britain. Studies of racing pigeon deaths found that Eurasian sparrowhawks were responsible for less than 1%. Falconers have utilised the Eurasian sparrowhawk since at least the 16th century; although the species has a reputation for being difficult to train, it is also praised for its courage. The species features in Teutonic mythology and is mentioned in works by writers including William Shakespeare, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Ted Hughes.
Male Eurasian sparrowhawks regularly kill birds weighing up to 40 g (1.4 oz) and sometimes up to 120 g (4.2 oz); females can tackle prey up to 500 g (18 oz) or more. The weight of food consumed by adult birds daily is estimated to be 40–50 g (1.4–1.8 oz) for males and 50–70 g (1.8–2.5 oz) for females. During one year, a pair of Eurasian sparrowhawks could take 2,200 house sparrows, 600 common blackbirds or 110 wood pigeons. Species that feed in the open, far from cover, or are conspicuous by their behaviour or coloration, are taken more often by Eurasian sparrowhawks. For example, great tits and house sparrows are vulnerable to attack. Eurasian sparrowhawks may account for more than 50% of deaths in certain species, but the extent varies from area to area.
Males tend to take tits, finches, sparrows and buntings; females often take thrushes and starlings. Larger quarry (such as doves and magpies) may not die immediately but succumb during feather plucking and eating. More than 120 bird species have been recorded as prey and individual Eurasian sparrowhawks may specialise in certain prey. The birds taken are usually adults or fledglings, though chicks in the nest and carrion are sometimes eaten. Small mammals, including bats, are sometimes caught but insects are eaten only very rarely.

1957 Stanguellini Bialbero Sport 1100
Vittorio Stanguellini was a good businessman and an excellent builder of racing cars. He was born on March 24th of 1910. 23 years later he was creating racers and building a reputation. The Second World War slowed his progress but shortly after the treaty he had regained momentum. His 1100 twin cam Fiat-based engines were in high demand. War torn Europe was eager to get back to racing and these were excellent, durable, competitive, and affordable racers. By 1950 he was producing, what would become legendary, a dual overhead camshaft 750 engine which would be used successfully in single seater and sports cars racing.
Much like other specialty-equipment producers such as Abarth, Stanguellini often modified and enhanced pre-existing equipment. He operated Modena's larger Fiat dealership and was renowned for his metal work and truck-body fabrication business. His legacy though, was with his racers. Part of that success was due to his Sporting Director Adolfo Bedoni who aided Stanguellini in the creation of some of the world's best F1 feeder series racers.
The Common Merganser has a reputation for being a very hardy waterfowl member and will as long as the water stays open, winter further north than most other waterbirds and tend to prefer a habitat of freshwater versus saltwater.
Their breeding territory ranges across most of our northern forests from Alaska to Newfoundland. They tend to be a quiet species unless disturbed or when they are active in their courtship period. Sometimes they are cavity nesters, sometimes they use man-made nesting boxes and sometimes they nest on the ground where a clutch can contain anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
They are one of the more socialites of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on open lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their flock.

The reputation of this lens is rather mixed and, frequently, a lack of sharpness has been highlighted. It is true to say that, among the many primes Fuji has produced for its x-mount cameras, this one is generally more on the average side. However, if you treat it well, it will produce the goods. And, for a wide-angle lens, this one is very light and portable. A walker in the field, Kensworth, Bedfordshire.
Overlooking Lake Nasser, the Great Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor, which together make up the Temples of Abu Simbel, are among the most famous and spectacular monuments in Egypt. In a modern marvel of engineering, which matches Ramses II's original construction for sheer audacity, the temple complex was saved from being swallowed by rising waters and lost forever after the building of the High Dam, by being moved lock, stock and barrel to the position it sits upon today.
Each temple had its own priest that represents the king in daily religious ceremonies. In theory, the Pharaoh would have been the only celebrant in daily religious ceremonies performed in different temples throughout Egypt. In reality, the high priest also played that role. To reach that position, an extensive education in art and science was necessary, like the one pharaoh had. Reading, writing, engineering, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, space measurement, time calculations, were all part of this learning. The priests of Heliopolis, for example, became guardians of sacred knowledge and earned the reputation of wise men.

- Ø (diameter) of this garlic bulb: 5 cm
- Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive and Chinese onion.
Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. China produces some 80% of the world supply of garlic.
The garlic plant's bulb is the most commonly used part of the plant. Garlic bulbs are normally divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. Garlic cloves are used for consumption (raw or cooked) or for medicinal purposes. They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
In folklore, garlic has been regarded as a force for both good and evil. In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic, perhaps owing to its reputation in folk medicine. Central European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against demons, werewolves, and vampires. To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows, or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.

My beautiful orchid to all my father's friend on Flickr. Stay safe, love.
Although orchids have a reputation for being symbols of fertility and elegance, different colored orchids have a diverse range of symbolisms.
White orchids symbolize innocence and purity, as well as elegance and reverence.
Pink orchids symbolize femininity, grace, and joy.
Yellow orchids symbolize friendship and new beginnings. They make great gifts for a friend to celebrate an accomplishment.
Purple orchids symbolize royalty and admiration, and are traditionally given as a sign of respect.
Orange orchids symbolize pride, enthusiasm, and boldness.

The Normal route sees many attempts all year long and is considered a class 4 climb with route finding and crevasses crossing.
There are two refuges on the mountain, Carrel refuge at 4,800 m (15,744 ft.) and Whymper refuge at 5,000 m (16,400 ft.) where most of the parties do their summit bid from. It is a 6-9 hours climb with slopes up to 60 degrees. People usually start their climb one or two hours before midnight and return to the hut a couple hours before noon in order to avoid rock fall danger caused by sun hit at the glacier entrance known as “El Corredor”.
***
Most parties climb directly from the Whymper refuge (5,000 m / 16,400 ft.). It provides bunk-beds (4 dozens), brand new mattresses, toilets, cold water, basic food supplies, stencils, gas stove, fireplace and etc.

History:
Until the beginning of the 19th century, it was thought that Chimborazo was the highest mountain on Earth (measured from sea level), and such reputation led to many attempts on its summit during the 17th and 18th centuries.
In 1746, the volcano was explored by French academicians from the French Geodesic Mission. Their mission was to determine the sphericity of the Earth. Their work along with another team in Lapland established that the Earth was an oblate spheroid rather than a true sphere. They did not reach the summit of Chimborazo.
In 1802, during his expedition to South America, Alexander von Humboldt, accompanied by Aimé Bonpland and the Ecuadorian Carlos Montúfar, tried to reach the summit. From his description of the mountain, it seems that before he and his companions had to return suffering from altitude sickness they reached a point at 5,875 m, higher than previously attained by any European in recorded history (Incans had reached much higher altitudes previously; see Llullaillaco). In 1831, Jean Baptiste Boussingault and Colonel Hall reached a new "highest point", estimated to be 6,006 m.
Other failed attempts to reach the summit followed.
On 4 January 1880, the English climber Edward Whymper reached the summit of Chimborazo. The route that Whymper took up the mountain is now known as the Whymper route. Edward Whymper, and his Italian guides Louis Carrel and Jean-Antoine Carrel, were the first Europeans to summit a mountain higher than 20,000 feet (6,100 m). As there were many critics who doubted that Whymper had reached the summit, later in the same year he climbed to the summit again, choosing a different route (Pogyos) with the Ecuadorians David Beltrán and Francisco Campaña.

Building work got underway in 1201. Eight centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. Even the monks’ fishpond is still full of water!
From its cloister to chapter house, with striking rib-vaulted roof, this abbey was shaped by the devout nature of its inhabitants. The abbey was also remarkably self-sufficient thanks to the lay brethren. They were happy to leave the choir monks to their prayers while they got on with the job of tending the land. All friends together? Not quite. The monks observed their daily offices in the choir, separated by a screen from the lay brethren who worshipped in the nave of the abbey church.
Far from an easy life, Valle Crucis Abbey suffered a serious fire and numerous attacks but went on to earn a reputation for its appreciation of the literary arts. In 1535 it was ranked the second richest Cistercian monastery after Tintern. By this time, the Cistercians had relaxed their orthodox austerity. A comfortable heated suite was created for the abbot. This new found wealth and hospitality didn’t last long. Valle Crucis was duly dissolved by royal decree in 1537.
The reputation of dangerous places, things, animals is almost always exaggerated. It's not that it doesn't exist, but the danger is usually slight enough to justify the risk. For example, I was afraid the first time I visited New York City, expecting gangs and pickpockets at every corner. I've been close, very close to grizzly bears, lions, and other toothy critters. Yes, incidents do happen, but usually to people who aren't cognizant or just ignore the risk and go for a jog or carry food or do something else provocative. A friend of mine and others I know about swim with sharks. Pet them. One professional friend of mine gets out of the cage once in-a-while with great white sharks. He's still here to tell about it. All that rambling preamble to this image dates back to when I was warned not to go into wild dog country in an open vehicle. "They will kill you" I was told. Years later, on a trip with Todd Gustafson, one of the premier photographers in the world, we had the opportunity to photograph a pack of wild dogs. Like most wild animals, they have seen humans from the moment they could see. Inside a vehicle we were to be ignored, or maybe used as shade. The risk at the airport or driving in the rain over wet and slippery ground was much more dangerous than being close to a pack of wild dogs.

The small, picturesque, terraced houses that sit either side of a cobbled street, were originally built to house a vicar each. They were built by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury and were occupied as early as 1348. (Some say that Vicars’ Close can lay claim to being the only completely medieval street left in England, others state it’s the oldest continually inhabited residential street in Europe.) Either way, Vicars’ Close in Wells is beautifully preserved.
Back in the 14th century there was housing for 42 Vicars – 22 sets of single chambers on the east side and 20 on the west. As you would expect, the houses were very basic and didn’t have a front garden.
Over the centuries minor concessions have been made. In the 15th century, Bishop Bubwith allowed 19 1/2 feet to be walled off in front of each house to be used as a front garden. In the 1660s some of the houses were allowed to be leased by ‘strangers’. According to ‘The Vicars’ Close’ by Hugh Parnell, 12 of the most decayed houses were allowed to be rented by “persons of good and honest reputation as will covenaunt to rebuild and repair them at their owne proper costs and charges.” ‘Strangers’ have been allowed to inhabit Vicars’ Close ever since. Today’s residents of Vicars’ Close include all 12 men of the Vicars Choral, the organists, and virgers.
Vicars’ Close is currently made up of 27 houses, a chapel, a library, treasury and muniment room (a storage room for historical documents). There is also a dining hall which is connected to the Cathedral by a walkway.
Thistles have a bad reputation for their spiny personality, but these formidable wildflowers shine as favorite nectar and host plants for many bees and butterflies, including swallowtails. This one seemed popular with a Palamedes Swallowtail butterfly along with a skipper, don't know the kind and two little green bees (Or wasp)
enjoying its Bounty. Found a Bumble bee on another one. A Monarch Butterfly on yet another and a black swallow tail butterfly on another one.
The roadside in Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola County is lined with thousands or at least hundreds of these prickly wildflowers!
Don't know what kind of thistle it is either.
Update: Robert Simons tells me this is the native Florida thistle known variously as purple thistle, yellow thistle, and bull thistle. The Latin name is Cirsium horridulum. Thanks Robert!
Also been advised that the Skipper is a "Twin-spot skipper".
Thanks to Mary Keim for identification on the skipper.
Fig… No, it really is tasty :)
Figs have a fearsome reputation as a natural laxative. It’s unwarranted I think, at least for fresh figs, which taste delicious and are no worse than other seeded or stoned fruit.
Needless to say this image was rejected by the fig marketing board. Shame really.
I took it for this week’s Macro Mondays group’s theme Remedy.
I’ve been eating figs from our tree all summer and have often felt that they would make interesting photographic subjects. So this one is not much of a remedy, more of an excuse to have a play with the camera.
And a tease of course. How could I resist? I nearly titled it Death’s Maw, but thought most people probably had enough imagination already :)
The image is about 2 centimetres across.
And they are tasty if you have never tried one. Fear not: you get to eat it in the last chapter.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image in some strange way… perhaps I shall hope in vain! Happy Macro Mondays :)

Yesterday, he befriended Ray who was digging in the garden. This morning he flew in and perched on the fence long enough for me to take a few photos. I was ready for him as I have been watching his comings and goings for a few days and had put my zoom lens on the camera.
And kept the camera ready on the side near the patio door.
Robins have a delightful reputation (think Christmas cards) but I understand in reality they are very territorial and can be quite aggressive. Their autumn song, which somehow always reminds me of 'Watership Down' is a manifestation of their intent.
Whatever their character, I always find it a treat to capture one on camera.

Arthur's Pass National Park is located in the South Island of New Zealand and covers 1,185 km2 of mostly mountainous terrain. The park is popular for tramping, skiing, hunting and mountaineering. The mountains around Arthur's Pass contain very challenging terrain. The peaks are highly exposed to the weather, the tracks are often very steep, and are often marked only by poles strung across a rocky landscape. Below the tree line the bush is dense and thick. In common with many alpine areas the weather is subject to frequent and sudden change. There have been numerous incidents where trampers have been unprepared for the harsh and variable conditions, and Arthur's Pass National Park consequently has a reputation as one of the most dangerous national parks in New Zealand.
The Devils Punchbowl waterfall is located close to the northern end of Arthur′s Pass Village. The short walk to the waterfall and back can be completed in under two hours. The start of the walk is at the footbridge that crosses the Bealey River. The walk takes in beech forest resplendent with birdlife. The track climbs a well maintained track to the base of the 131 metre waterfall, where there is a viewing platform. (Wikipedia)
------------------
We hiked part of the Devil's Punchbowl trail in search of Keas and other bird life but did not make it to the waterfall. Stunningly beautiful and surprisingly cold, this national park and the nearby glacier were well worth the visit.

The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.

They are one of the more social of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their own flocks.
This species is our most widespread and abundant merganser and is often referred to as a "Fish Duck".

La mauvaise réputation (Georges Brassens)
The Bad Reputation (Georges Brassens)
In a village without pretention
I have a bad reputation
Whether i bother or stay quiet
I pass for an I-dont-know-what!
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path of the little guy.
But the brave people do not like
others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone talks trash about me,
Except the mutes, that goes without saying.
On Bastille Day
I stay in my cozy bed.
The music that marches on,
Does not concern me.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyoneBy not listening to the Bugle that sounds.
But the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
No, the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone points at me
Except the people with no arms, that goes without saying.
When I cross an unlucky thief
Chased by a hick
I throw the leg, and why keep it quiet,
The hick finds himself on the ground.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By letting run the thieves of apples.
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone rushes at me
Except those without legs, that goes without saying.
No need to be Jeremiah
To guess what fate is promised me
If they find a rope to their liking
They will put it around my neck
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path that leads to Rome
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone will come to see me hung
Except the blind, of course!

Crazy Tuesday - theme of February 22, 2022: Single
Squirrels often have a bad reputation as being a nuisance in gardens and campsites. However, they are smart survivors and I am taking lessons from them this winter. It looks like restrictions are going to get tighter in our province so today I am going to stock up on essentials to survive harsher winter weather and possible empty shelves at the grocery stores again. Nuts are something I love to eat and now that I am home more, I don’t need to worry about nut allergies! So I will squirrel away a good supply of those for the winter. I’ll try to get creative with lentils and chickpeas, too. If we find out that supplies are getting even more scarce by spring, I can always dig up my tulip bulbs and eat those. My parents did that during the war. Some fancy restaurants offer special tulip based recipes in the spring that you pay a premium price for! Yup, it’s not a bad idea to take some lessons from the squirrel. 😉
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation

A second shot with a Pipevine swallowtail butterfly (Battus philenor) as well as a skipper gathering nectar from the Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) blossom. My butterfly source says: "They feed on chemically noxious pipevine plants like snakeroot and Dutchman's pipe. These caterpillars are able to build up an internal store of the distasteful chemical that stays with them as they develop. This renders the adult butterfly unpleasant to eat, so birds, reptiles, and other predators learn to avoid eating caterpillars and butterflies. Other butterflies with similar coloring benefit from the Pipevine Swallowtail's bitter-tasting reputation." This reference doesn't mention the milkweed plant.
