A small, rare, bright green parakeet endemic to New Zealand. Recognized by its yellow crown and the thin red band that stretches to both red eyes between the crown and the base of the beak. Found in large native forests on the mainland, on the Auckland Islands, and on offshore island sanctuaries. Usually detected by its rapid chattering call within the tree canopy. Forms small flocks in autumn and winter. Similar to Malherbe’s Parakeet, but look for brighter green plumage, red frontal band, and crimson rump patches instead of orange. Smaller than the Red-crowned Parakeet, lacking red crown. (eBird)

We were nearing the end of our trip before we found this lovely little parakeet hiding in the dense canopy. As with the related Malherbe's Parakeet, we had to go to a small island to find it, but luckily this time we got to disembark at a proper dock rather than climbing down a step ladder.

On the first Saturday in September, International Vulture Awareness Day recognizes the dwindling numbers of vultures. The day not only raises awareness about vulture numbers, but it educates the public, too. Vultures play an essential role in the ecological health of the environment.
These scavengers play a vital role in the food chain. Vultures act as nature’s garbage disposers. When they devour carcasses quickly, vultures keep the environment clean. They also help keep it free of contagious diseases.
Another role vultures play is aiding in catching poachers. When poachers illegally kill animals, they leave the carcass behind. After vultures find the carcass, they circle above the dead animal. This behavior leads authorities to the poached animals.
Because vultures aid authorities, many people kill the birds. After collecting the skins or other prizes, the poachers poison the remaining carcass. Consequently, poisoned vultures then become deadly to other scavengers.
Many species of vultures are considered endangered. Of the 23 species, 16 of them are considered endangered, vulnerable, or threatened.

The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture in the order Accipitriformes, which also includes eagles, kites, buzzards and hawks. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes, which is sister to the larger Gyps genus, both of which are a part of the Aegypiinae subfamily of Old World vultures.
Mount Rundle is one of the most recognized mountains in Canada. It overlooks the town of Banff on this, its northern end and the town of Canmore on the southern end. The Bow River meanders through a broad valley in between. Rundle’s ridgeline is about 7-1/2 miles long (12 km) and has seven distinct peaks, the highest of which is 9,675 feet (2,949 m) in elevation.
This vista is from Hoodoos Viewpoint, a stop along the Hoodoos Trail. If you are wondering where all of the hoodoos are they are visible (all four of them) on this side of the river slightly left of center at the foot of the more distant rockslide. Not exactly Bryce Canyon, but hey, Bryce Canyon doesn’t have the very scenic Bow River flowing through it.

The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock is perhaps the most popularly recognized bird of the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains.
Distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia in the Andes, this species is readily identified by its fan-shaped crest and brilliant orange plumage. Males spend much of their time displaying at leks, where they jump up and down on particular branches and utter low, guttural croaks. The name is derived from their preference for rocks and ledges as substrates for their mud cup nests.

Due to its distinctive and recognizable shape, the tower, also known as il Filarete, has become a symbol of Milan. The tower designed by architect Antonio Averulino in 1452 was elegant and decorated with marble inserts. Less than a century after its completion in 1521, the tower collapsed. The current building is the result of a tireless study of the available documents and iconography, by Luca Beltrami, to reconstruct the tower as faithfully as possible to the Renaissance original. The Filarete Tower was dedicated in 1905.
The 70 m high Torre Filarete is a magnificent example of military renaissance architectural style

I recognized your number
It's burned into my brain
Felt my heart beating faster
Every time it rang
Some things never change
That's why I didn't answer
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a country song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in a bar
'Cause I'm always your last call
I don't need to check that message
I know what it says
"Baby, I still love you"
Don't mean nothing when there's whiskey on your breath
That's the only love I get
So if you're calling
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a cheatin' song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last
Call me crazy but
I think maybe
We've had our last call
I bet you're in a bar
It's always the same old song
That Johnny Walker Red
By now it's almost gone
But baby, I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last call

Wiki:
Gelati is a medieval monastic complex near Kutaisi, in the Imereti region of western Georgia. A masterpiece of the Georgian Golden Age, Gelati was founded in 1106 by King David IV of Georgia and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Gelati Monastery is in Kutaisi, Imereti Province, Georgia. It signifies the value of the Georgian christian orthodox religion. Inside the monastery is full of murals and an abundance amount imagery surrounding the interior of the church. It was one of the first monastery in Georgia and adds great value to the Georgian culture and beauty.
The nickname of The Gelati Monastery is the “Golden Age of Georgia”. The monastery was built during the byzantine empire which is known for the use of gold aesthetic in their paintings and buildings. It was built to show how christianity encompassed all of this land and that Georgia was filled with christian gospel all around even high up in the mountains. As the monastery is covered in arches that stretch over mountains show how encompassing the monastery is over the mountains and over the hills.

The Mallard, or Wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos[1]), probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical Americas, Europe, Asia, New Zealand (where it is currently the most common duck species), and Australia.
The male birds have a bright green head, while the female's is light brown. The Mallard lives in wetlands, eats water plants, and is gregarious. It is also migratory. The Mallard is the ancestor of all domestic ducks, and can interbreed with other species of genus Anas.[2] This interbreeding is causing rarer species of ducks to become genetically diluted.
The Mallard is 56–65 centimetres (22–26 in) long, has a wingspan of 81–98 centimetres (32–39 in), and weighs 0.9–1.2 kilograms (32–42 oz). The breeding male is unmistakable, with a bright green head, black rear end and a yellowish orange (can also contain some red) bill tipped with black (as opposed to the dark brown bill in females), and is also nature's most feared duck. The female Mallard is light brown, like most female dabbling ducks. However, both the female and male Mallards have distinct purple speculum edged with white, prominent in flight or at rest (though temporarily shed during the annual summer moult). In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage the drake becomes drab, looking more like the female, but still distinguishable by its yellow bill and reddish breast.
In captivity, domestic ducks come in wild-type plumages, white, and other colours. Most of these colour variants are also known in domestic Mallards not bred as livestock, but kept as pets, aviary birds, etc., where they are rare but increasing in availability.
A noisy species, the male has a nasal call, the female has a "quack" stereotypically associated with ducks.[3]
The Mallard is a rare example of both Allen's Rule and Bergmann's Rule in birds. Bergmann's Rule, which states that polar forms tend to be larger than related ones from warmer climates, has numerous examples in birds. Allen's Rule says that appendages like ears tend to be smaller in polar forms to minimize heat loss, and larger in tropical and desert equivalents to facilitate heat diffusion, and that the polar taxa are stockier overall. Examples of this rule in birds are rare, as they lack external ears. However, the bill of ducks is very well supplied with blood vessels and is vulnerable to cold.
For me entering juried exhibits are paths to both personal and professional growth. For some of us it is a bit intimidating to enter our work in these exhibits because we are exposing our innermost self, opening us up to possible rejection. However, it also builds character, confidence, and...

It's always nice when I recognize a place I've been before in one of my photos, because the memories of that moment immediately come back to me. And then I have two wonderful memories that I associate with just one photo. It's an emotional double decker, so to speak.
That's how I feel when I look at this photo that I took last year at the Schrammsteine in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
The view here is in the direction opposite the Schrammsteine and shows a lonely rock (if someone could tell me the name, I would be very grateful) around which a clearly visible path runs. I spent a morning there about 2 years ago waiting for the sunrise. I still remember that day there was a pretty cold wind blowing in my face and I mostly tried to hide behind the rocks. This was also my first tour where I spent the night in my camper. It's great to be able to get everything out again so quickly. And that’s just through a photo. Gosh, do I have a really cool hobby.
Es ist immer wieder schön, wenn ich auf einem meiner Fotos einen Ort erkenne, an dem ich schon einmal war, denn sofort kommen die Erinnerungen an diesen Moment wieder in mein Bewusstsein. Und dann habe ich gleich zwei wunderschöne Erinnerungen, die ich mit nur einem Foto verbinde. Das ist das sozusagen ein emotionaler Doppeldecker.
So geht es mir, wenn ich mir dieses Foto hier anschaue, welches ich letztes Jahr an den Schrammsteinen im Elbsandsteingebirge gemacht habe.
Der Blick geht hier in die den Schrammsteinen gegenüber liegende Richtung und zeigt einen allein stehenden Felsen (wenn mir jemand den dessen Namen verraten könnte wäre ich sehr dankbar) um den herum, klar sichtbar ein Weg verläuft. Dort habe ich vor ca. 2 Jahren einen Morgen verbracht und auf den Sonnenaufgang gewartet. Ich erinnere mich noch, dass mir an dem Tag ein ziemlich kalter Wind ins Gesicht bliess und mich meist versucht habe hinter den Felsen zu verbergen. Außerdem war dies meine erste Tour bei der ich in meinem Camper übernachtet habe. Es ist schon toll, dass alles so schnell wieder hervor holen zu können. Und das nur durch ein Foto. Ich hab schon ein echt cooles Hobby.

Recognizable by its striking, leopard-like shell patterns, this species thrives in arid savannas and scrublands, where it feeds on grasses, succulents, and occasional fruits.
As part of Africa’s “Small Five”, the leopard tortoise joins the elephant shrew, ant lion, rhinoceros beetle, and buffalo weaver in a playful twist on the iconic “Big Five”. This concept highlights smaller, often overlooked species whose names echo their larger counterparts. While the Big Five symbolize Africa’s majestic megafauna, the Small Five remind us to appreciate biodiversity in all forms.

World Oceans Day - Every Day
Since 2008, the United Nations has recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day, presenting an opportunity for people to reflect on the many important roles that the oceans play in sustaining life on this planet.
At Sea Shepherd, we celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8 – and every day.
Every day, through the efforts of our dedicated volunteers, on land and at sea, we strive to challenge and to change how people think about and act towards the ocean. Every day, we learn and teach others about the interconnectedness that exists between our life and the life in our seas. Every day, we encourage people to safeguard the oceans, by ourselves striving tirelessly to defend, conserve and protect the life within them. Every day, we celebrate the boundless wonderment, joy and inspiration that our oceans provide, just by their very existence.
This June 8, we are asking you to think about making every day World Oceans Day, just like we do. We are asking you to consider what this world might be like without the oxygen that the oceans give us to breathe, every day; to imagine what your life might be like without the precious water we get from our oceans, every day; to envisage just how we all might cope without the many fascinating creatures that call the oceans their home, every day; and to picture how this planet would function without the many intricate, complex and delicately balanced ecosystems that require the support of our oceans in order exist, every day.
We are inviting you to look at the amazingly fierce, deep, wild, blue ocean for what it really is. Not as a resource, but as a life source that is responsible for sustaining every living thing on this beautiful blue and green planet; and then we invite you to reflect on whether this life source is worth fighting to protect, just today, or perhaps every day.
“The Ocean is the life support system for our planet. If Biodiversity is diminished, we are diminished. If the Ocean dies, we die.” Captain Paul Watson, Sea Shepherd
Since 1977 Sea Shepherd has recognized every day as world oceans day. Even though we should celebrate the cradle of all life on the planet, today we should also reflect on the continued destruction of this fragile habitat.

Another image of my favorite mockingbird.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather.
This species has rarely been observed in Europe. The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, "many-tongued mimic".
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land.
The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles.
The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. - Wikipedia

Happy Fence Friday. I came across this paper mache sculpture as I was on a walk past Kitsilano Pool/Showboat last weekend. It has both 'Lupo' and '#Belovedghosts' written on it. I love spontaneous art and this certainly caught my eye.
Then I looked it up and discovered this is the work of a local artist, Lupo: www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/vancouver-street-ar...
"I have been making sculptures in memory of people who have passed away and whose lives are being erased and forgotten. I have been placing these around the city, both to resist their erasure and to reach out to the many others who are grieving or hurting. Please be safe people."Lupo/@lupo.artwork/Instagram

You needn’t be a serious birder to recognize the yodeling yelp of this striking raptor.
Often described as the sound of Africa, the African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) evokes images of lazy rivers and palm-fringed lake shores, often in duet with the grunting of hippos. And the bird itself, in all its black, white and chestnut finery, is equally unmistakable.
The African fish eagle is not a ‘true’ eagle but belongs to the Haliaeetus genus of sea eagles, alongside seven other species worldwide that include the American bald eagle and the Eurasian white-tailed eagle. This is one of the most ancient genera among all living birds. And it is a sight to behold.
This screaming African Fish Eagle was captured during a photography safari on an early morning boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.

Anaklia (Georgian: ანაკლია) is a town and seaside resort in western Georgia. It is located in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, at the place where the Enguri River flows into the Black Sea.
The earliest settlement on Anaklia's territory dates back to the mid-Bronze Age and is typical to the Colchian culture. It is the Classical Heraclea of Colchis, Anaclia of later authors, and Anarghia of Archangelo Lamberti and Jean Chardin (both the 17th-century travelers). After the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century, it was an important fortified town, sea port and fishing station within the Principality of Mingrelia. In 1723, the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire and converted into its maritime outpost and slave-trading locale. Western Georgian kingdom of Imereti regained control over Anaklia in 1770, seizing the opportunity of Ottoman Empire being at war with Russia (Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)). Solomon I, the king of Imereti, was supposed to be supported in this endeavor by a small Russian contingent under General Totleben, but the Russian troops retreated before a clash against the Turks.
In 1802, Kelesh-Bey Sharvashidze, the pro-Turkish ruler of the neighboring Principality of Abkhazia, capitalized on the internecine feuds in Mingrelia, and forced Prince Grigol Dadiani of Mingrelia into surrendering Anaklia, taking Grigol’s son and heir, Levan, as a hostage. When Mingrelia accepted the Russian protectorate in 1803, the Russian commander in Georgia, Prince Tsitsianov, demanded that Kelesh-Bey release Levan. On his refusal, Tsitsianov sent Major General Ion Rykgof into Abkhazia. In March 1805, the Russians took hold of Anaklia and threatened to march against Sukhum-Kaleh, forcing the Abkhazian prince to release Dadiani. The capture of Anaklia drew an Ottoman protest, however, and Tsitsianov hastened to disavow his subordinate and even apologize for his action, removing a Russian garrison from Anaklia. However, the incident added to an increasing tension between the two empires. When the next Russo-Turkish War broke out in 1806, the Russian forces restored Redoubt Kali and Anaklia to the Mingrelian prince Levan who would later relinquish the control of these forts to the Russian administration. (See Russian conquest of the Caucasus#Black Sea Coast.) In the 1850s, Anaklia was a small but strongly fortified seaport, which had a custom-house and carried on a considerable trade with Turkey.
Subsequently, the importance of the Anaklia port significantly reduced, but it remained a minor Black Sea Fleet base in the Soviet times.
After the War in Abkhazia (1992–93), a Russian peacekeeping post was opened at Anaklia in 1994. In 2006, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia reported numerous damages inflicted by the Russian soldiers upon the 17th-century fortress of Anaklia and accused the peacekeepers of installing latrines and baths within the walls of the fort. Following a series of protests by the Georgians, the Russian military post was withdrawn in July 2007.
A monument has been erected in Anaklia on May 21, 2012, commemorating Russia's expulsion of the Circassian people from the region following the conclusion of the Caucasian War in the 1860s. The May 21 date was chosen to coincide with the day on which the Circassian people themselves commemorate the expulsion, which the Georgian government has recognized as an act of genocide. The monument was designed by Khusen Kochesokov, a sculptor from the North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria.

The Town Clock is arguably the most recognizable symbol of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was commissioned by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Construction of the clock was completed in 1803 following a design by architect Captain Fenwick of the Royal Engineers.
The clock tower is a four-story, octagonal structure atop a rectangular building. The clock itself is four-sided so that time can be seen from all angles. It has a 13-foot pendulum that strikes both hourly and quarterly. The tower housing the Town Clock has been used in the past as a guard room and as a residence for the clock caretaker.
The Town Clock has been in service since October 20, 1803.
I've been revisiting photos that just got backed up and never received a second look after our CA/AZ trip last March, although we had challenging weather there were a lot more great opportunities than I initially recognized, and it was a sweet trip.

Scadoxus multiflorus (formerly Haemanthus multiflorus) is a bulbous plant native to most of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Somalia to South Africa.
Common names, some of which are used for other species, include blood lily, ball lily, fireball lily, blood flower, Katherine-wheel, oxtongue lily, poison root and powderpuff lily.
It is grown as an ornamental plant for its brilliantly coloured flowers, either in containers or in the ground in where the climate is suitable. There are three recognized subspecies. Strongly toxic like other Scadoxus species, it has been used as a component of arrow poisons and fishing poisons, as well as in traditional medicine.

San Francisco, California, USA
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California.
The idea of a fixed link between San Francisco and Marin had gained increasing popularity during the late 19th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that such a link became feasible. Joseph Strauss served as chief engineer for the project, with Leon Moisseiff, Irving Morrow and Charles Ellis making significant contributions to its design. The bridge opened to the public in 1937 and has undergone various retrofits and other improvement projects in the decades since.
The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 4,200 feet (1,280 m) and its total height is 746 feet (227 m).

The First document about the settlement from Fagaras dates back to year 1291. Traces of human life materials found in these parts are much older. The document of 1291, the first attestation of Fagaras was a record in which Ugrinus as a magistrate asked the king to return these lands to the Romanians, recognizing that the Romanians themselves had been in possession of the great feud. The document itself and the archaeological finds can certainly support the existence of the feudal settlement of Fagaras before 1291.
Along with land cultivation, animal husbandry and handicrafts prevalent throughout the peasant household, in the borough Fagaras developed specialized crafts and commerce. Craftsmen come to organize in guilds. The earliest document of a guild in Fagaras is dated as being from around 1590, when Mary Christierna gave privileges to the shoemaker’s guild. The Tanners Guild experienced the strongest growth, its products reaching fame and a large sale. The Tanners" Street still preserves the memory of this craft.

The gentoo penguin is easily recognized by the wide white stripe extending like a bonnet across the top of its head and its bright orange-red bill. It has pale whitish-pink webbed feet and a fairly long tail – the most prominent tail of all penguin species. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. As the gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means "rump-tailed".[15]

Gentoos reach a height of 51 to 90 cm (20 to 35 in),[16][17] making them the third-largest species of penguin after the emperor penguin and the king penguin. Males have a maximum weight of about 8.5 kg (19 lb) just before molting, and a minimum weight of about 4.9 kg (11 lb) just before mating. For females, the maximum weight is 8.2 kg (18 lb) just before molting, but their weight drops to as little as 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) when guarding the chicks in the nest.[18] Birds from the north are on average 700 g (1.5 lb) heavier and 10 cm (3.9 in) taller than the southern birds. Southern gentoo penguins reach 75–80 cm (30–31 in) in length.[19] They are the fastest underwater swimmers of all penguins, reaching speeds of up to 36 km/h (22 mph).[20] Gentoos are well adapted to extremely cold and harsh climates. wikepedia
