We had some time to kill so we stopped by this great little park that resides in Colorado Springs. It had been raining on and off for the better part of the day and after resolving ourself to a night in the car so we spent the rest of the day exploring. As well as an amazing geological spectacle, it has a fascinating history that spans back eons.
The human history of the Garden of the Gods commences many centuries before our present time. Stone hearths and fire rings found in the Garden dating over 3000 years ago indicate the presence of early inhabitants, According to Ute traditions, their people have always lived in this area, and were known to winter in the Garden of the Gods.
It's no wonder they were drawn to this magical place.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everyone :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
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.

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
living among the rocks in the open tundra, a 'short eared' relative of the rabbit, pika's reside in asia and north america....cute little guys to observe, moving and storing food constantly preparing for winter...
In this large sea cave, a colony of Steller sea lions permanently resides and California sea lions also winter here. Waves from the open sea continually come splashing into the cave. The sea lions spend time here hauled out on rocks to rest and find shelter from winter storms. Many birds also inhabit the cave system.
An elevator has been built to take visitors down into the cave, where a single, carefully fenced-off viewpoint allows this incredible glimpse into another world! It is totally magical!
Between the crashing waves and the constant barking of the sea lions, the sound was deafening in this echoing cavern, and so whatever sound came from the human visitors was completely drowned out and became irrelevant. I was glad to come away with the impression that the wild sea lions really didn't seem bothered by the tourism activity.

ABOUT THIS PHOTO:
Partly out of fear to bore the Flickr community with too many lizard photos, I thought it would make for a nice change - yet in keeping with the main theme of my gallery - to give interested nature and reptile fans the opportunity to get a sense of the lacerta bilineata habitat where I photographed all the animals on this page.
So this is the second of a (as yet planned) series of pictures (if people like them there will be more) that will show you where all the reptile "action" took place: my garden in the beautiful community of Monteggio in the Malcantone region of the Ticino, Switzerland.
The pictures were taken over a period of over a decade, so there were obviously some changes in the garden during that time, but If you focus on the palm tree - which has grown considerably over the years but is visible in all the photos I plan to upload - you get a sense of the geography of the place.
In summer, which is when this photo was taken, the micro-climate in this particular area of the Ticino can be almost tropical in the sense that it's hot and very humid with frequent thunderstorms and heavy rain, and I often refer to my garden (half-)jokingly as my "little Swiss rainforest". I guess you can see how animals - particularly lacerta bilineata and other lizards - would feel at home in this "tropical paradise" of mine :-)
Apparently - as I learned in the comments here on Flickr - the occurrence of this particular lizard species is a very good indicator that an ecosystem is intact, and my family and I always took great care not to interfere too much in our garden and let nature roam as free as possible.
In return, over the years we were rewarded for this "calculated inaction" with a wide variety of species of plants, insects, lizards and snakes visiting - or by now residing permanently in - our little nature refuge, some of which I managed to capture on camera.
As mentioned before, if people like these photos or are interested in other flora and fauna from my private jungle, I'll upload one every once in a while between lizards, so let me know in the comments if you're interested in seeing more of these or if I should stick to just reptiles ;-)
As always, thank you so much for your interest and feedback, stay safe - and have a great week everyone!

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.

Pitangus sulphuratus (Great Kiskadee / Bichofué gritón)
The Great Kiskadee is a large and strikingly colored flycatcher that inhabits much of Central and South America. Great Kiskadees reside in a variety of habitats from forest edges to grasslands to busy residential areas. These birds can often been seen hawking insects from an open perch or dropping to the ground feeding on insects and small reptiles.

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.
C'mon people, daydreaming is free, you know..........

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.
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.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
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.
The German Embassy in Copenhagen resides in a building called Portland Towers. It is constructed on two old cement silos.
Copenhagen North Harbour used to be a tuff industrial area, but is now becoming one of the most fashinable and expensive areas in Copenhagen to live in.

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

LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE – DIANA KRALL
Time is a beautiful illusion
it cannot be quantified
as I sweep away last year's patterns
a residue resides
a little broken fading mosaic
veined with cracks and studded with tears
so small and fragile, I lift it up
and clasp it to my heartfelt fears
it's difficult to let the old ways go
it's hard to step into the new
but it's important to preserve sweet memories
and leave behind those that made me feel blue
Spring is a time for gentle renewal
moving on with life and regrowth
static is a negative charge of apathy
forward motion a positive oath
Softly I whisper my daily mantra
today is the first day of the rest of my life
and knowing this brings me succour and comfort
to my once ailing heart that was wrought with strife
ring out the bells; new change is here
there's a spring in my step; there's no room for fear
for today I begin an exciting new time
making new memories for this soft heart of mine
I put down the tiny fragment that represents broken dreams
cushioned in velvet; swaddled in reams
there it can't hurt me; I go forward; feel free
to walk in the sunlight; the shadows behind me.

Many of the pictures I take these days are captured in and around the Beartooth Mountains of south-central Montana, where I now reside. The prominent spire in this image is the namesake of those mountains…the Bear’s Tooth soars to an elevation of around 12,000 feet and can be seen from the Beartooth Highway between Red Lodge and Cooke City, Montana (deemed by Charles Kuralt to be “the most beautiful drive in the country"). The spire was originally named by the Native American Crow people as "Na Piet Say", roughly translated as bears tooth…
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

The Amalienborg palace consists of four identical classical palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Danish: Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V.
Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burned on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various monarchs and their families have resided in the four different palaces.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As much as I adore the liquid element, I reside at a place where it is is considered a rather scarce commodity and can hardly be located ... Thank God, at a distance of half an hour drive there lies the beautiful river of Nestos, whose flow is surrounded by amazing Green Nature and bridges, lots of bridges !!!
I love using my tripod and my ND (Neutral Density) filters over my lenses ... Their combined use enhances considerably the appropriate shutter speed for a balanced exposure, thus blurring water's flow and creating beautiful sharp images .... Environmental colors remain unaltered ...
I definitely suggest them for extensive use over around blue hours landscape photography ...
