Berkeley Hills, Berkeley, CA

This maile Dark-eyed Junco, along with her female companion (shown in the previous picture), is busy finding worms and bugs for their brood. He stops at the cables as a staging area, making sure there are no other predators or dangers lurking nearby before returning to their nest. Every now and then, both parents seem to have left their nest unguarded, and are out and back with food at the same time. It's a lot of work to raise a family. They probably have a hungry brood to feed.

Chris Young - Raised on Country

 

Born, raised and still livin' in the Midwest, but just as much rock as country.

A very exhilarating experience to raise this Monarch from an egg to an adult and then see her fly away. Please plant milkweed if you can to keep the Monarch population up. It is the host plant for the Monarch and without milkweed, the larva would not be able to develop into a butterfly.

 

Thank you so much for your visits!

Raising clouds creep over the fierce cliffs that tower above the trail to the small lake named Superiore, upper lake.

Still got tons of photos to share from the previous season, always too busy to edit them and, often, too busy for Flickr.

I try to catch all of your photos and comment them, hope I do not miss anything.

Best wishes, guys and girls!

This glorious millennium stained glass window by Paul San Casciani was inspired by the 1600 year old Yew Tree in the churchyard in Wilmington, East Sussex, England. But what entrances me is the reflections it casts on the walls when the sun streams in. The answers we seek are not just inside, they are literally reflected all around us.

When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary

When troubles come, and my heart burdened be

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me

 

You Raise Me Up

This is an image from my archives. It was taken 16 years ago.

The beach was raised, and later new plantings were planted. I went there to take pictures. When I looked through my photos from that date, I found this shot, took it out and processed.

If you take a good look, at the horizon there is a small part of the sea.

The Mute Swan is a large, all-white waterfowl native to Eurasia, widely recognized for its long, gracefully curved neck and a distinctive orange bill with a black knob at the base. Despite its name, it is not completely silent and produces hisses, snorts, and grunts, though it is less vocal than other swan species.

Size and Appearance:

Mute swans are among the largest flying birds. Adults have brilliant white plumage, black feet, and a prominent black knob (basal knob) on their orange bill, which is larger in males (cobs). When swimming, they hold their necks in an elegant 'S' shape, often with their wings slightly raised in a display known as "busking".

Habitat and Diet:

They are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including ponds, lakes, rivers, canals, estuaries, and sheltered coastal areas. Their diet primarily consists of submerged aquatic vegetation, which they reach using their long necks.

Behavior:

Mute swans form strong, long-lasting pair bonds and are known for their devotion to their offspring. They are highly territorial, especially during the breeding season, and will aggressively defend their nests and cygnets (young swans) from perceived threats, including humans and dogs.

Cygnets:

Young swans are typically covered in greyish-brown down (sometimes white, in a morph called "Polish swan") and have a dull, grey-black bill. They grow quickly, reaching near-adult size within three months, and attain full white plumage and the adult orange bill by their second year.

Lifespan:

In the wild, mute swans can live for over 20 years, with an average lifespan of around 10-11 years.

In Culture and Law:

The mute swan is significant in human culture. It is the national bird of Denmark and a symbol of love in many cultures due to its monogamous nature. It is also the subject of the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Ugly Duckling".

In the UK, the British monarch retains the right to ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, a law dating back to medieval times. This ownership is primarily exercised on certain stretches of the River Thames through the traditional annual ceremony of "Swan Upping," which now serves as a population health check.

Premier sport fish are bred and raised at Gaden Trout Hatchery. The Gaden Trout Hatchery, located on the Thredbo River near Jindabyne, is one of Australia's main centres for breeding and rearing cold water sport fish. Four species of fish are produced at Gaden: Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout. Visitors can view feeding of the big fish that come to the surface in some of the brood stock ponds, watch a 10 minute video that outlines the purpose and operations of the hatchery, and go for a walk around the grounds with one of the experienced hatchery staff. Guided tours of the hatchery are conducted 10am and 2pm daily. Gaden Trout Hatchery has over one hectare of parkland on the banks of the Thredbo River. 27564

Taken inside a garden at Wat Ounalom. Not exactly sure what it is, but Google Lens identified it as Cactus Coreid, a.k.a. a Chelinidea vittiger bug. S/he must have been napping in the sun since I got very close for this capture and s/he didn't move. 😁

 

PS: to those I follow 🙋♂️

 

Apologies for falling behind with comments and faves. After I turned sixty, I thought I would have more free time but I'm now working six days a week from 6 AM to 6 PM. I love my job; not complaining too much, but it's taking a toll on the free time I have for Flickr. Taking a timeout for a month or two. No hard feelings if you unfollow me.

 

Thank you for your understanding! 💖

Someone forgot to check the height of the bridge before sailing into it. Since this is The Titanic it will save the ship from hitting an iceberg and sinking. The bridge, on the other hand, didn't fare as well. I suppose this is what is called alt history. Who are you going to believe? Me or the history books. I've got this picture to prove I'm right!
