ORA SI CHE TI RICONOSCO...!

Too hot, too sunny, too many people all around...

Autumn has a different character, it is more introverted, less social than summer! I was missing a bit of haze, a bit of clouds, a pinch of coolness. Then, this morning, the dawn was like this: now I recognize you!

Since so many recognized my referenc eto the Band a flock of Seagulls on a recent shot thought I would use this shot to refer to one of there well known songs, This Gulls seems to have ran fron the flock

 

Comments appreciated, Constructive critique even more appreciated, best way for me to learn

Recognizing the shadow within - you know that dark place inside we dare not explore - is the path to healing.

Long de 5 centimètres, l'Orthétrum réticulé (Orthetrum cancellatum) est un anisoptère de taille moyenne. Les mâles se reconnaissent facilement à leur abdomen gris-bleu dont l'extrémité est plus sombre et à leurs ailes transparentes, sans marques noires à la base (contrairement à la Libellule fauve). La pruinosité bleutée laisse apercevoir la coloration jaune de l'abdomen sur les côtés. Les jeunes femelles sont jaunâtres puis adoptent une coloration plus terne, beige puis brun (parfois foncé), avec des marques noires longitudinales sur l'abdomen. Les yeux sont gris-vert et le bord antérieur des ailes est jaune. Les ptérostigmas sont noirs et fins. Les femelles possèdent une lame vulvaire.

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

 

The cross-bred Orthetrum (Orthetrum cancellatum) is 5 cm long and is a medium-sized anisopteran. Males are easily recognized by their gray-blue abdomen, which has a darker tip and transparent wings, with no black markings at the base (unlike the Fawn Dragonfly). The bluish pruinosity reveals the yellow color of the abdomen on the sides. The young females are yellowish then adopt a duller, beige then brown (sometimes dark) coloration, with longitudinal black marks on the abdomen. The eyes are gray-green and the anterior edge of the wings is yellow. Pterostigmas are black and fine. Females have a vulvar blade.

Kingfisher - Alcedo Atthis

  

The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) also known as the Eurasian kingfisher, and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.

 

This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptations to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.

 

The female is identical in appearance to the male except that her lower mandible is orange-red with a black tip. The juvenile is similar to the adult, but with duller and greener upperparts and paler underparts. Its bill is black, and the legs are also initially black. Feathers are moulted gradually between July and November with the main flight feathers taking 90–100 days to moult and regrow. Some that moult late may suspend their moult during cold winter weather.

 

The flight of the kingfisher is fast, direct and usually low over water. The short rounded wings whirr rapidly, and a bird flying away shows an electric-blue "flash" down its back.

 

The common kingfisher is widely distributed over Europe, Asia, and North Africa, mainly south of 60°N. It is a common breeding species over much of its vast Eurasian range, but in North Africa it is mainly a winter visitor, although it is a scarce breeding resident in coastal Morocco and Tunisia. In temperate regions, this kingfisher inhabits clear, slow-flowing streams and rivers, and lakes with well-vegetated banks. It frequents scrubs and bushes with overhanging branches close to shallow open water in which it hunts. In winter it is more coastal, often feeding in estuaries or harbours and along rocky seashores. Tropical populations are found by slow-flowing rivers, in mangrove creeks and in swamps.

 

Like all kingfishers, the common kingfisher is highly territorial; since it must eat around 60% of its body weight each day, it is essential to have control of a suitable stretch of river. It is solitary for most of the year, roosting alone in heavy cover. If another kingfisher enters its territory, both birds display from perches, and fights may occur, in which a bird will grab the other's beak and try to hold it under water. Pairs form in the autumn but each bird retains a separate territory, generally at least 1 km (0.62 mi) long, but up to 3.5 km (2.2 mi) and territories are not merged until the spring.

 

Very few birds live longer than one breeding season. The oldest bird on record was 21 years.

 

They are also listed as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act offering them additional protection.

UK breeding:

3,800-6,400 pairs

 

Yes, you probably recognize this one! I originally posted this house about a year ago titled "Perfectly imperfect". Sadly 2023 has not been kind to this one. Locally we've had several strong thunderstorms pass through, along with a massive windstorm. This resulted in a significant structural collapse of the remaining farmhouse (the rear portion collapsed as of last year). I'm guessing this may be one of the last times I see this old house. Either the rest will give way soon, or the county will force demolition due to being an unsafe structure. Either way, it's sad to see this one go. It has been one of my favorite old houses to photograph.

 

Included in the comments is a link to my post on this house from last year.

Recognizing the gift of a friend(s) is fantastic. Indeed to be cherished and remembered.

 

Special thank you ~Antony~ for assisting me and for the song idea. Happy New Year dear friend.

Sometimes you think you'll be find by yourself

Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone

It's easy to feel like you don't need help

But it's harder to walk on your own

 

You'll change inside

When you, realize

The world comes to life

And everything's alright

From beginning to end

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

The gift of a friend

 

The gift of a friend

 

Someone who knows when your lost and your scared

There through the highs and the lows

 

Someone you can count on, someone who cares

Besides you where ever you go

♫ In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end ♫

The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!

  

Carolina wrens form lifelong pair bonds and pairs often stay together for years. The birds move and feed together, where you see one, you will usually see its mate foraging close by. The pair works together to build a nest, which can be in a tree hole or on a branch, but Carolina wrens are well known for choosing to nest in man made structures such as mail boxes, door wreaths, flower pots, or even a cardboard box in a garage. They use sticks, hair, feathers, and anything that looks suitable—even shed snake skins. They often build multiple nests then select one to raise their chicks.

  

When feeding, a Carolina wren hops around on the ground and in the underbrush turning over dead leaves, and probing cracks and crannies for spiders, insects and larvae. They also eat fruit and berries, but rarely come to bird feeders.

 

I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.

 

Will we recognize alien life forms or not even realize their existence?

 

Thank you for your comments & faves. I can no longer return the same to everyone due to my fibromyalgia: I will do my best!

To recognize the error of the other is easy, to judge and to point out its defects too ... difficult is to assume our limitations, weaknesses ... we will only be free when we accept that we are all subject to error and that only God is the one who can judge ...

And even if I could do that He decided first of all to love us ...

An activity recognized internationally by the adventurers of the world. Ideal for climbing unexplored lands where you will contemplate nature from another perspective in the heights.

 

***

 

After a 90 meters (295 ft) long Tibetan bridge, I found myself on a small path where the only way out is a vertical wall to climb. This was the third activity: the 90 meters (295 ft) ferrata track. Small metal stairs attached to the rocks allow me to ascend without major problem. Every certain section I had to change the safety harnesses on the steel cable, also called the "lifeline", to which the climber is attached all the time. The height ensures my nerves, calm.

This was one second of me walking very fast. I was surprised how much remained recognizable because obviously there was a lot of camera movement. The spooky winter woods are so dark that it's a perfect playground for weird ICM fun!

 

In a way, it's like relinquishing control and becoming merely a witness to see what glimpses of another world may appear in my camera. There is something so liberating in that.

I often recognize the work of mural artists in Havana. This one is older and I do not have any reference, so unless someone comments, the work is from an Unknown. It was in an area closer to the railway station, which was bit rougher, but still relatively safe.

A menudo reconozco el trabajo de los muralistas en La Habana. Este es más antiguo y no tengo ninguna referencia, así que a menos que alguien comente, el trabajo es de un Desconocido. Estaba en un área más cercana a la estación de tren, que era un poco más peligrosa, pero aun así relativamente segura.

  

They recognize one another after years and years of separation and greet each other with wild, boisterous joy. There's bellowing and trumpeting, ear flapping and rubbing, with trunks entwined.

Little Orphan Raccoons there mother was bringing them up here to mooch some food, she started when she was expecting, foraging hard for something to eat, when she had the babies she brought them up to eat. One day they came by themselves, then the next day, they were starving, they had not learned to find food yet. I started to feed them, the dark one was very aggressive, the other two not so much. They got bigger and did survive, they learned to hunt. The dark one still comes by occasionally, I recognized him because of color, the other two probably are out there. They got a bit destructive for a bit, then calmed down.

 

No, I just refuse to believe my eyes

In front of me something I can't recognize

You stood beside me all my life

The heart machines are ticking

I can hear the life support pumping

The line between life and death doesn't become any clearer than this

Covered with an oxygen mask

These words will be his last

With the energy he has got left

He turns to me and say

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

All of a sudden I've lost my strength

Isn't it scary how things can change

Mm, in an instant just like that

Whenever I had questions

You always had the answers

You taught me about life

And the importance of being yourself

And to highly value honesty

How not to lose grip of reality

With both your feet on the ground

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

You weren't suppose to see me like this

And I'm sorry, sorry

I must leave, it's my turn

But I will see you soon (soon)

I cannot stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend.

Have a nice Holiday.

CLOUGH is easily recognized by its long red, down-curved bill. It is found only on the coast of Wales. They are trying to reintroduce them here in Kent, near Dover, as the habitat is very suitable. Many hand-bred youngsters have been successfully released. One pair has nested in part of Dover Castle but was unsuccessful. Overall, the project looks good, as the Chough is a red-listed bird.

This one was spotted and captured on Skomer Island.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, enjoy your day.

People have long recognized Matarea as a great place to hang out catch some rays while enjoying the breeze, there has been traces of human settlement for over 40,000 years here especially in the caves which had sea views. Marartea has had a few nicknames over the years but mainly the Goddess of the Sea or City of the Great Etei are two monikers that have stuck through the centuries.

 

The Romans had the guts to use the area or at least the islet of Santo Janni as a place to make Garum one of the favorite condiments of the Republic made of fermented fish entrails and might have been where the regions love of putting anchovies in everything comes from besides its deliciousness.

 

So along the 7th century BC or so the isolated top of the mountain that sits behind the village Monte San Biagio, attracted small communities of Basilian monks that were looking to escape persecution banding together to have created a fortified residential nucleus that exists today. The highest point of the mountain is also decorated by the statue of Christ the Redeemer an extraordinary work of the Florentine sculptor Bruno Innocenti, installed in 1965.

 

I took this on Sept 29, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 30s f`11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Take during an organized walk with some friends. We met, to take some pictures of the various under ground stations here in Munich.

 

Goal was to take pictures of several stations within Munic. There is even an dedicated group on flickr, www.flickr.com/groups/u-bahn-muenchen/

For this trip, we decided on line U2, starting from the final stop Feldmoching towards main station. This photo, taken at the station Feldmoching is under exposed about 2 steps in order to highlight the open doors with LED stripes at the newer car models in Munich. Additionally, the station itself was lit a little bit on the dark side. Also recognizable, the windows of the train are covered with foil or treated somehow, because there is little light transmitting from the inside of the car.

The Toco Toucan is the one of the most recognizable tropical birds in the Americas - and one of the most beautiful in my opinion. Toco Toucans feed extensively on figs and other fruit, and also occasionally prey on insects and nestling birds. When foraging, these birds travel in small groups in the canopy, gliding in single file from site to site. Wild. Picture taken at Pouso Alegre Lodge - Pantanal - Brazil.

 

Wishing everyone a peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

I did not recognize this beautiful seabird we encountered at the Bodega Marine Reserve. It could be a juvenile lesser black-backed gull or a juvenile Herring gull, but not a streaked shearwater as I originally thought -- they don't have black beaks.

 

Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Atlantic Royal Flycatcher - male - Vulnerable - Royal Flycatcher is very widespread, with a distribution that extends from southern Mexico south to the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Throughout this broad area, Royal Flycatcher inhabits the lower levels of humid evergreen or deciduous forests, although it also ranges into mature second growth, and edges. Royal Flycatcher exhibits notable geographic variation across this range, and so some authors recognize as many as four species of royal flycatcher: a northern species that occurs from Mexico to northern Colombia and northern Venezuela; a Pacific species (occidentalis) that is restricted to southwestern Ecuador and adjacent Peru; an Amazonian species, which is widespread in northern and central South America east of the Andes; and an Atlantic species (swainsoni), that occurs only in southeastern Brazil. Two of these populations, occidentalis and swainsoni, are potentially at risk of extinction. All of these taxa are flycatchers with a long bill and tail; the plumage is mostly brown, with a rufous or ochraceous tail. The most notable feature of Royal Flycatcher is the long ornate crest, which is red to orange (paler in females), with black and blue spotting. This crest usually is recumbent, giving the flycatcher a distinctive "hammerhead" appearance. When fully erect, however, the crest also is flared laterally; although it is rare to see the crest erected in a free flying Royal Flycatcher, these birds are well known for fanning the crest when held in the hand, while rhythmicaly swaying the head from side to side. The nest of Royal Flycatcher is a very long, sack like structure suspended from a slender branch or vine, and frequently is placed over a stream (or a small clearing) in the forest. Birds of The World.

 

The Atlantic Royal Flycatcher raises its fan very rarely. It took me more than 3 hours observing this individual to get this photo. I can say it was my Christmas gift.

 

Wishing a very Merry Christmas full of love, peace and joy!

Wat Rong Khun, better known as “the White Temple” is one of the most recognizable temples in Thailand. The temple outside the town of Chiang Rai attracts a large number of visitors, both Thai and foreign, making it one of Chiang Rai’s most visited attractions.

  

Wat Rong Khun is a unique temple that stands out through the white color and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white color signifies the purity of the Buddha, while the glass symbolizes the Buddha’s wisdom and the Dhamma, the Buddhist teachings.

 

The Wat Rong Khun was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thai visual artist.

 

On May 5th 2014 a strong earthquake hit Chiang Rai. Although the white temple was badly damaged, Chalermchai Kositpipat decided to restore and further expand the Wat Rong Khun.

 

Many thanks to all those who view, comment and or fave my photos....It is greatly appreciated ......Chandana ❤️
