Ms. Simon, who resides at the Houston Audubon Raptor and Education Center, was found on the side of a Wyoming highway in 2016 with a broken wing and leg. The wing healed slightly crooked and she cannot fly well enough to be returned to the wild.

Clock Mechanism

For Macro Mondays - Vintage

My Grandparents Mantle Clock which now resides with us. The clock is now 102 years old.

Every now and then I have to clean the mechanism. When I saw the theme for this week I decided to pull it out for a clean and photo. For size reference the shaft holding the hands is 32 mm in length.

Happy Macro Monday!

This rescued bird, injured and unable to return to the wild, resides at the Houston Audubon Society's Raptor and Education Center.

It's one of two Caribbean Flamingos that reside at the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, in Key West, Florida. At least that was the case two years ago when this shot was taken. I don't know if this is Rhett or Scarlett.

Blue Jay

The blue jay is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to eastern North America and California's state bird. It resides through most of the eastern and central United States, although eastern populations may be migratory. Wikipedia

Saw this magnificent grey wolf residing at the time I took this photo at the Alaskan Wildlife Conversation Center, in Alaska obvs. It's the closest I've been to a wolf in the wild and even from a distance they looked proud and intelligent and amazing.

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research and quality animal care.

I don't want to alarm you, but some people close to me say that once a month, on the full moon, I look a bit like this. (That's the Halloween scary bit for those in parts of the world that celebrate it ;)

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

Democritus

Inside of the the West Tower where the Lord and his family resided.

In the northwest San Juans east of the small town of Ridgway resides a lonely tower: Chimney Rock (also sometimes called Chimney Peak, 11,781 feet).

In the late afternoon we left the Silverjack reservoir back to Ridgway. From Owl Creek Pass Road (Ouray County Road 8), we saw through the forest as the last rays of the sun made the mountain massif glow. Unfortunately there was only a clear view of the Chimney Rock in a curve, but enough to make a few last pictures of it to capture the experience.

Her hair is Harlow gold

Her lips, a sweet surprise

Her hands are never cold

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you

You won't have to think twice

She's pure as New York snow

She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you

She'll unease you

All the better just to please you

She's precocious

And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush

She got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs

Inuksuit (the plural of Inuksuk) serve in a spiritual capacity to indicate a place where life is renewed or where spirits reside; where judgements or decisions are made or where celebrations and festivals are held. Traditionally, they were used by the Inuit in the north as directional markers. An Inukshuk in the shape of a person signifies safety, hope and friendship. These stone sculptures were also important for navigation, as a point of reference, as a marker for hunting grounds, or to denote a food cache.

~ We can observe the Black Tusk too here : The Black Tusk is a stratovolcano and a pinnacle of volcanic rock in Garibaldi Provincial Park of British Columbia, Canada. At 2,319 m above sea level, the upper spire is visible from a great distance in all directions.

Les Inuksuit (le pluriel de Inuksuk) servent dans une capacité spirituelle pour indiquer un endroit où la vie est renouvelée ou où les esprits résident ; où les jugements ou les décisions sont prises ou où les célébrations et les festivals ont lieu. Un Inukshuk en forme de personne signifie sécurité, espoir et amitié. Ces sculptures en pierre étaient également importantes pour la navigation, comme point de référence, comme marqueur de terrains de chasse ou pour indiquer une cache de nourriture

~ Le Black Tusk ( apercu au loin) est un stratovolcan et un pinacle de roche volcanique dans le parc provincial Garibaldi en Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. À 2 319 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer, la flèche supérieure est visible de très loin dans toutes les directions.

The difference between a "Burg" and a "Schloss" (castle) is that a Burg is more like a fortress, built for protection from the enemies, and a Schloss was for the nobility to reside in, and very lavishly decorated.

Over time, some of the Burgs were also turned into castles.

Burg Eltz is somewhat unusual, in that it's been in the same family that had it built over 850 years ago, and Count and Countess Eltz still live there today.

La beauté du Colorado Provençal réside dans le fait que le site a été créé à la fois par la nature et par les hommes : les ocriers.

À Rustrel, l’exploitation a commencé à la fin du XIXe s. Les ocriers ont alors éventré la terre pour arracher les précieux pigments déclinant mille couleurs et donnant naissance à des paysages aux formes fantastiques.

The beauty of Colorado Provençal lies in the fact that the site was created both by nature and by men: the ocher trees.

In Rustrel, mining began at the end of the 19th century. The ocriers then tore open the earth to tear off the precious pigments declining a thousand colors and giving birth to landscapes with fantastic shapes.

Poogy, resides in an abandoned pond near my house.

Don't know if Poogy is he/she or it but I think the name, I gave her, suits her nicely.

Sometimes, when I visit her, I'm thinking.......if I kiss Poogy, will she turn to a gorgeous princess with big.......eyes?

So we can fall in love, get married, have lots and lots of children and live happily ever after......Amen.

Europe

The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is abbreviated to just the eagle-owl in Europe It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), with males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts. The orange eyes are distinctive.

Eurasian eagle-owls are found in many habitats, but are mostly birds of mountainous regions or other rocky areas, often those near varied woodland edge and shrubby areas with openings or wetlands to hunt a majority of their prey. Additionally, they inhabit coniferous forests, steppes, and other areas at varied elevations that are typically relatively remote.

The eagle-owl is mostly a nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species. Predominantly, their diet is composed of small mammals such as rodents and rabbits, but they also prey on larger mammals and birds of varying sizes. Other secondary prey can include reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates.

In addition to being one of the largest living species of owl, the Eurasian eagle-owl is also one of the most widely distributed. With a total range in Europe and Asia of about 32 million km2 (12 million sq mi) and a total population estimated to be between 250,000 and 2.5 million.

The IUCN lists the bird's conservation status as being of least concern. - Wikipedia.

The Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) resides at Circle B Bar Reserve from about January until April each winter. This little guy was munching on the seeds that are visible in the picture. The bush had no leaves but foreground twigs can be seen in his wing area. He measures only about 5 1/4 inches from beak-tip to tail-tip. Definitely one of the prettier birds we come across.

Snowbowl resides on the San Francisco Peaks, a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain, which are held as sacred to 13 different Native American tribes in the region. These tribes include the Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Yavapai, Hopi, and other Native Nations. To date, they have lost all lawsuits they had filed to stop further development and expansion of this alpine ski resort.

Normally resides on the kitchen window cill but it was such a wonderful day I felt sorry for it and took it outside for a photoshoot.

The orchids were not harmed in the shoot.

Il faut parfois faire preuve d'imagination et ruser pour attirer ce grand timide d'oiseau qui réside souvent à couvert , pas de secret et c'est par le gosier qu'il faut le séduire . Une vielle branche fera l'affaire , une perceuse sans fil armée d'une bonne mèche à bois et faire quelques cavités pour y mettre discrètement les noisettes décortiquées ou les glands , ensuite se planquer et surveiller de loin si la cantine a du succès et si le piège fonctionne , c'est juste une question de patience car tôt ou tard il y aura toujours des clients ( Geai , Sittelle , Mésange , Pic etc .... )

PS : toute demande de partage avec un groupe sera rejetée sur le champ , je ne désire aucune publicité sur mon travail ( j'ai largement passé l'âge de recevoir des Oscars , des Bons Points et autres gamineries de ce genre ....) , merci de votre compréhension .

***************************************************************

Sometimes you have to be imaginative and cunning to attract this shy, large bird who often resides in cover, no secret, and it is by the throat that it must be seduced. An old branch will do the trick, a cordless drill armed with a good wood drill bit and make some cavities to discreetly put the shelled hazelnuts or acorns, then hide and watch from afar if the canteen is successful and if the trap works, it's just a question of patience because sooner or later there will always be customers (Jay, Nuthatch, Chickadee, Woodpecker etc ...)

PS: any request to share with a group will be rejected immediately, I do not want any publicity on my work (I have largely passed the age of receiving Oscars, Good Points and other nonsense of this kind .... ) , thank you for your understanding

Downy Woodpecker (male).

A sparrow-sized woodpecker at 6 inches in length. Black and white with the males only having a small red patch on the nape of the head. Similar to Hairy Woodpeckers but tamer and smaller and with a short stubby bill.

Its habitat includes woodlands, parks and gardens.

It resides from Alaska across Canada and south throughout the United States except the southwest.

Colle Palatino

ROMA

Roman emperors built their palaces on the Palatine Hill. The ruins of the palaces of Augusto, Tiberio and Domiziano are still visible... Also Nerone, Caligola, Flavio and Settimio Severo resided in the Palatine Hill, as well as the Roman ruling class. The Palatine was the seat of various cults, whose sanctuaries were founded by Augusto in his own home (temple of the Magna Mater, temple of Apollo Palatine, temple of Vesta).

As I mentioned in the last post Bell Rock depicted here resides next to Courthouse Butte so this shot logically follows my last, speaking of logic have a gander at the people high up on this monument. While the grey day made for a great photos it also was on the verge of rain and these intrepid climbers seem oblivious to the fact that water makes for a bad climbing buddy. This 500+ foot climb is easy going up, so much so that people find themselves in predicaments on the way down they never intended while making the climb up.

I took this on Dec 23rd, 2019 with my D750 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 35mm, 1/40s, f10 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,and DXO Nik

Miniature Pinwheel mushrooms (Marasmius sp.) residing on the forest floor celebrate the autumn rains by becoming re-hydrated from their desiccated state and resuming the release of spores.

These durable mushrooms are unusual in that the release of spores is dependent on high moisture levels.

I seem to under estimate of this picture because my wife, and my friends don't like it. However, it has been picked by National Geographic's Daily Dozen today - 7/21.

The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.

The cows that reside trackside at George Junior Road in Grove City,

Pennsylvania are non-plussed by the sight of classic EMD power here. And while the number of foamer cars far outnumbered that of the freight cars, it was still a splendid sight and fun chase.

These European Rollers are very rare visitors to the UK and mainly reside in Eastern Europe and are always a treat to see when one pops up locally as this one has in Suffolk this week :-)

This pair of Egyptian Geese reside in my local park and usually produce a good clutch of eggs/goslings each year.

I heard that they'd brought the newly hatched goslings over from the nesting site on an island in the middle of the lake, to the area where visitors walk. This is a risky move as people enter the park with their dogs at this point (some not on a lead) and the male swan (we only have one pair) is very protective and territorial when his mate is currently sitting on her nest.

Sadly there were initially ten yesterday, but only seven on my count this morning.

I went to the park early hoping to find them. When I arrived Mum was keeping them all warm. Then 2 dogs arrived across the water inlet where they were and this disturbed them. Thankfully another visitor was feeding them with seeds so I got some good photos.

UN LIEU SANS NOM

La beauté du monde ne réside pas uniquement dans ces lieux grandioses qui nous émerveillent tous.

Ses plus belles et touchantes manifestations se révèlent souvent à nous dans ces simples harmonies naturelles sans prétention, que l’on trouve souvent dans des lieux sans nom, à l’écart des chemins les plus fréquentés.

Et c’est là, loin de la foule et du bruit incessant du monde, que nous pouvons entendre et ressentir, dans sa plus simple expression, la musique de nos origines.

Patrice

A PLACE WITH NO NAME

The beauty of the world lies not only in these grandiose places that amaze us all.

The most beautiful and touching manifestations are often revealed to us in these simple unpretentious natural harmonies, which are often found in places without a name, away from the busiest roads.

And it is there, far from the crowds and the incessant noise of the world, that we can hear and feel, in its simplest expression, the music of our origins.

Of the six Glaeser-bodied Steyr 220 Sport Roadsters built before World War II, three were destroyed in the war, one resides in an Austrian museum, and one has been lost to history. That leaves the 1938 Steyr 220 Sport Roadster that took top honors at this past weekend's inaugural Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance as the last known example still in private hands. The Steyr had previously taken second in the European Classic: Grand Touring class at last year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The current owner bought the Steyr in 2011 and had it restored last year. Steyr, or as it later became known, Steyr-Daimler-Puch, is perhaps best known for building trucks and military vehicles, but the Austrian firm once enjoyed reasonable success building luxury sedans, convertibles and sports roadsters. Debuting in 1937, the Steyr 220 series built on the success of the company's earlier and less-powerful models, such as the 120, 125 and 200. Available in four body styles (five-passenger limousine, five-passenger cabriolet, and two cabriolet versions with bodies by Glaeser Coachworks of Dresden, Germany, all 220 models received a 2.3-liter inline six-cylinder engine, rated at 55 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Though Steyr built a total of some 5,900 220 series models from 1937 to 1941, the pre-war European economy didn't encourage purchases like a custom-bodied two-seat sports roadster, and only six of this Glaeser-bodied Steyr variant are known to have been constructed.

Originally built as a demonstrator model for a Berlin dealer, this roadster features dual carburetors, dual exhausts, a longer-duration cam and bigger valves, all of which were available as factory upgrades from Steyr. Restorer Roger James of D&D Classic Automobile Restoration estimates the changes bump output to around 85 horsepower. Given the car's lightweight and rigid chassis with four-wheel independent suspension, its performance and handling would have been exceptional for the day. Restoring the 1938 Steyr took nearly a full year, as parts for the car were available only from a single German source with a history of Steyr restorations that spanned two generations. Worse, the supplier wasn't interested in selling a single component, requiring D&D to purchase the entire remaining Steyr parts inventory to get the items needed. In the case of this nearly one-of-a-kind automobile, the end certainly justifies the means. The maroon-over-cream Steyr Sport Roadster is a stunning and unusual example of pre-war European design. The impact of the Art Deco Streamline Moderne movement on the car's styling is evident, including the subdued primary color with darker accents; the chrome windshield frame, headlamps and wheels; the flowing design of the front fenders and skirted rear fenders; and the plunging chrome trim line used to convey a sense of speed, even when the Glaeser-bodied roadster was parked.

On my way home from a meeting, the timing was ideal to capture a sunset. This is part of Davis Bay in the District of Sechelt where I live. I was traveling from Gibsons which is approximately 25 minutes away and knew that clouds were on the horizon.

Sometimes knowing where you live and the conditions present, can put you in a favourable position to catch what you are looking for. Enormous tree trunks that have wondered from log booms, dot the shoreline. At high tide, they dominate the shoreline and prove to frame this sunset image in a pleasing manner.

Did you know that there are two distinct subspecies? " Nominate purpureus" resides in the northeast and the boreal forest of southern Canada; the male has longer wings and is brighter overall, the female has a bolder head pattern and white underparts. The as shown in pic, the Pacific coast " californicus" male is less bright and has a brownish wash on its back and sides; the female is much puffier underneath with a less bold face pattern and more blurred back streaking.
