The long-tail boat, used to carry passengers on a river may include a lightweight long canoe hull, up to 30 metres. They are not the quietest or most comfortable boats to travel in but usually the cheapest and most fun.
Two male Swans evenly matched , just incredible.
I almost got out the hide as at the end one tried to drown the other , but it got away before this softy was required.
And yes an oldie
In 1967, Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve was declared a protected marine life conservation area and underwater park. Formed within a volcanic cone, today Hanauma Bay offers a pristine marine ecosystem after the City and County of Honolulu laid out a plan in 1990 to restore the bay, after years of use from the millions of visitors who visit and love to snorkel Hanauma Bay. Voted Best Beach in the United States in 2016, volunteers have a booth located on the beach level to help visitors learn about conservation of the reef and the types of fish that live there.
In 2002 a marine education center was opened for visitors and part of the conservation plan requires first-time visitors to watch a 9 minute video before entering the park so they can learn about the marine life, preservation and safety rules for the park.
A slide I was given that required a large amount of restoration, but it's an interesting scene.
The only detail I have was the faded pencil on the slide mount that said February 1987, but where and what the scene is - are the destined for restoration or scrap? - is unknown.

The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.
During the month of July we painted our house after refurbing and painting the barn. This was the last section to paint and required the most ladder work. It only seemed right that I should mark the ending with a slider of sorts. I was soooo glad there was no more ladder!
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!

This large hummingbird has a somewhat down-curved bill. Though iridescent green, it appears black in mediocre to poor light. Most easily distinguished from Purple-throated Carib by its dull wings (wings are iridescent green in Purple-throated) and less curved bill. Common in much of its range, where it frequents forests but also visits gardens and parks. Calls include “chewp” (eBird)
-----------------
Frequent visitors to the gardens around our vacation condo, but very difficult to photograph. Oh, how I long for feeders to make hummingbird photography a little easier. This is the only sharp photo that I managed to capture, and it required lots of help to look like more than a black blob.
St. Lawrence's Gap, Barbados. February 2023.
I am a bird lover but I do not have the proper lens nor the speed required for bird photography, when I arrived where these geese were hiding, I disturbed them and they flee. I will take the hints from you guys expert bird photographers!
This hardy species of the merganser family will winter further north than any of the other members and will stay with us during the winter months as long as the water stays open. They prefer fresh water to salt water.
Alaska to Newfoundland is their breeding territory and they don't seem to have a nesting preference using anything from man-made boxes to nesting cavities to nesting on the ground.
They do tend to be one of the more social waterfowl species and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and do accept other species of diving ducks midst their own numbers.
Lots of open water is an asset to them when they go airborne as they require a running start across the top of the water for a distance. Once in the air they fly a straight line to their destination.
Females like this one make good use of their long body toting their ducklings around after they hatch.
THANK YOU !!!!!! 💖

Gallotia galloti palmae, in La Palma. In addition to Gallotia galloti, it is sometimes called "smut lizard". The blight lizard can reach 30 cm in length. Males are somewhat larger than females and have a blue patch on their faces. Black lizard (Gallotia galloti) The black lizard is a very abundant reptile in the Canary Islands, especially in agricultural areas and coastal scrubland. It prefers dry and sunny places, such as rocky areas, especially rock walls, and avoids the laurel forest area. It can live up to 3,000 m above sea level, so it can be found at almost any altitude. Forest roads are a favorable habitat for this species, since it also uses them to move around, as it allows it to stay in the sun during its walks. Being a poikilothermic animal (that is, cold-blooded), it requires clear places where it can warm up on the rock, until it reaches a body temperature that allows it to be active. Feeding Their diet is based on plants and insects; sometimes it eats the grapes cultivated by man, for which it is subject to persecution.
Gallotia galloti palmae, en La Palma.
Además del Gallotia galloti recibe a veces el nombre de "lagarto tizón"
El lagarto tizón puede alcanzar los 30 cm de longitud. Los machos son algo más grandes que las hembras y tienen una mancha azul en la cara.
Lagarto tizón (Gallotia galloti) El lagarto tizón es un reptil muy abundante en las islas canarias, especialmente en las zonas agrícolas y matorrales de las zonas costeras. Prefiere los lugares secos y soleados, como las zonas pedregosas, especialmente paredes de rocas, y evita la zona de laurisilva. Puede vivir hasta por encima de los 3.000 m, por lo que se le encuentra a casi cualquier altura. Las carreteras forestales son para esta especie un hábitat favorable, ya que las utiliza también para desplazarse, ya que le permite permanecer al sol durante sus caminatas. Al ser un animal poiquilotermo (es decir, de sangre fría), requiere sitios despejados donde pueda calentarse sobre la roca, hasta alcanzar una temperatura corporal que le permita estar activo.
Alimentación
Su alimentación se basa en plantas e insectos; en ocasiones come las uvas cultivadas por el hombre, por lo que es objeto de persecución.
Assignment 4 - Heels, Heels, and More Heels
My latest assignment requires me to submit one photo per week to the group Sexy Heels of SL in bed of which the administrator is my very own Flickr Sensei, Wolf Braham. He LOVES heels!!!!! I know a lot of men love heels, but no one loves them quite like Wolf.
Just a note about this photo: The highlight of the photo is the heels. My hand appears to be pointing to my left foot and the light focuses on the lower part of my body. Not my face, because in this group it is really all about the heels.
I submit to you Week One of the assignment.
See Week Two of the assignment here.
Check out Week 3 of the assignment here.

" Papilio dardanus, the African Swallowtail, Mocker Swallowtail or Flying Handkerchief, is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae (the swallowtails)...The species is broadly distributed throughout Sub-Saharan Africa...The British entomologist E. B. Poulton described it as "the most interesting butterfly in the world"..." ( Wiki )

Totally overcast, and totally still. I have never seen conditions like this before (and probably won't again for a long time). It was the end of the day and I already had a few images that I was happy with. So I wasn't really paying attention. Plus, the egret was very far away, requiring a heavy crop. But looking at it on my computer screen afternoon, I was kicking myself for not appreciating the potential of this moment.
Laugharne Castle is a castle in the town of Laugharne in southern Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is located on the estuary of the River Tâf and was originally established in 1116.
So! at certain times of the day the carpark near the castle will flood...and the seating area ofcourse ☺.
Iguazu Falls span across both Argentina and Brazil. We visited Argentina side followed next day the Brazilian side. The water spray was quite intense requiring the cameras to be cleaned after every shot
Sometimes my photos require “Getting Close” to the subject physically. Lying on top of pile of leaves or wading in shallow waters. Remaining always safe there’s not much I haven’t tried yet to “Get That Shot, lol” From the top of the Empire State Building in NYC to a Native American Celebration in New Mexico and many cool places in between. Passion drives us to get our next fun capture. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe, mask up and go get your next great capture. 🙏
A woman walked down to the shore of the green space with her dog, off leash. The dog proceeded to run out after this egret, causing it to relocate. She tried calling it back, but it would have nothing to do with her. She needs to use that leash, as required by law!!! First comment is moments before, as the dog charges...
Can a house be semi-abandoned? Aspects of the place appeared to be looked after, others not so much. For example, the broken window in the kitchen, which had glass pieces on the sill.
The last part of the climb is best done along the ridge. No difficult climbing, but it requires that you are not afraid of heights.
i stood quiet and still, leaning on the gate of a barn at Adam's — who i'd just delivered logs to — hoping her curiosity would draw her. Sure enough she got closer and closer. Smelly breath, but easily tolerable for this gorgeous animal.
Warning! Sunglasses may be required to view this series :-))
What a stunning, almost unbelievable, sight!!
Every year, the 2 blocks of Cambridge St between Slocan and Kamloops St burst into a dazzling red archway. This year, it was discovered by the Asian community and they have flocked in to have their pictures taken for good luck. And it has been a spectacular year especially because it has been so dry and sunny. Enjoy your virtual "walk" through the "Cambridge Maple Arch" in E. Vancouver, BC. :)
The Golden-cheeked Warbler requires old juniper woodlands and live-oak habitat for nesting. This habitat occurs in central south Texas. In fact, this bird nests exclusively in the Lone Star State although vagrant birds have shown up in other states.
GCW numbers are declining because of habitat loss due to clearing of juniper and oak forests for grazing and human encroachment.
Solution: build more high rises and stack people in urban areas since a majority of people claim to be extroverted and enjoy one another's company.
So there's desert nightmare Batman!
It isn't the definitive version, I'll want to give him a customized face/cowl with sanding and stuff, but that requires more square parts. I don't want to alter my current only short eared cowl.
This is the V.M 1934 zz rod by Vix motors... I just had to make a decent picture of it. Only one minor edit was required in PS, the bottom of the fold up hood was only partial shaded so my partner Tam fixed it, ain't she a peach.. ohh la la.

This is a distinctive subspecies of the white wagtail (M.a.alba) endemic to Britain and Ireland. (The white wagtail of Continental Europe is much paler with a grey back.) Some authorities have accorded it full species status as Motacilla yarrellii.
This is a very active species and patience is required to capture it in the right pose.

Black and white re-edit of a shot from December 2018. Enjoy!
Patience required to have bird and sun coincide.
Thank you for taking the time to view, fave or comment on some of my images.
I saw the garage scene at Backdrop Village (maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eversong/218/202/2204) and decided to pop on overalls and make myself look like a gearhead. Nothing in reality could be further from the truth.
I am far too short for the built in animations. I had to rez a box to stand on and add a pose of my own.

I had to resort to Google for this one.
Just looking back over some old shots I came across this from 7 years ago. Some of my followers may remember that I've issued this previously but I still find it astonishing that a bird can even attempt to swallow something so large. In the end the cormorant gave up trying and the bream eventually recovered and swam off to tell its pals about its near death experience.
Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved (it would be nice if you left a comment too) my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.
