Jaguars are mighty cats most easily recognized by the bold rosettes generously spotted across their tawny-colored coats. They have thick, stocky legs and short, round ears. The jaguar has the strongest of all the felines. The name “jaguar” originates from the Tupi and Guarani languages of South America from the word yaguareté, or “true, fierce beast and he who kills in one leap.” The majestic jaguar is a symbol of power for many Latin-American cultures, it represents the power of nature and is seen as the protector of the rainforest. These magnificent cats are distributed from Mexico to Argentina across 18 countries, and Brazil holds around half of the wild jaguars in the world. Their habitats include wet and dry forests, savannahs, and shrublands. Jaguars are strong swimmers and climbers and are dependent on healthy freshwater systems and access to great amounts of territory for survival. www.worldwildlife.org/species/jaguar

Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language messages are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side.
The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, like a cow. Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting. An extended dewlap is often used to say hello to another creature during mating and most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching sun to warm up or catching a breeze to cool off. So it's important to consider "the big picture" when reading an Iguana's body language.

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

Antananarivo (Madagascar) - Je fais connaissance de cet homme alors qu’il est accoudé au bar de la buvette du marché d’Andravoahangy. C’est lui qui engage la conversation. Il parle un français parfait. L langue de Molière est largement pratiquée dans la Grande île, mais lui a vécu une quinzaine d’années dans la région d’Agen (Lot et Garonne) où il travaillait comme ouvrier agricole pendant la récolte des pruneaux et comme mécanicien agricole le reste du temps. Aujourd’hui, retraité, il a gardé un bon souvenir de la France, mais reconnait qu’il préfère Madagascar pour le climat.
Malagasy retiree
Antananarivo (Madagascar) - I met this man while he was leaning on the bar of the Andravoahangy market. He is the one who initiates the conversation. He speaks perfect French. French is widely spoken on the Big Island, but he lived for fifteen years in the region of Agen (Lot et Garonne) where he worked as a farm laborer during the prune harvest and as an agricultural mechanic the rest of the time. Today, retired, he has kept good memories of France, but recognizes that he prefers Madagascar for the climate.

Excerpt from establishmedia.ca/stories/press-releases-stories/public-a...:
The City of St. Thomas and Elgin County are pleased to celebrate their 140 year relationship through the artwork in the new Southdale/Fairview roundabout. Mayor Joe Preston and Warden Tom Marks officially unveiled the new art piece today.
“The public art piece at this roundabout is a great tribute to our agricultural history and the working relationship between the City and County.” stated Mayor Preston. “I look forward to many years of continued partnerships.”
“I am delighted to see the roundabout at Fairview Ave and Southdale Line open to the public, and it is exciting to be able to incorporate a public art element into this project,” said Elgin County Warden Tom Marks. “This roundabout will ease the flow of traffic between the City of St. Thomas and the County of Elgin, ensuring that our residents can travel seamlessly through this high traffic volume connection. The City of St. Thomas is our closest neighbouring municipality and this project is a shining example of what teamwork and strong partnerships can accomplish.”
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.

I recognize this feeling.
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

Named for its least obvious field mark, a faint blush of red on the belly that is rarely seen, the red-bellied woodpecker is the largest common woodpecker of the eastern United States. It can be found in almost any wooded area, including suburban neighborhoods and parks. It is immediately recognized by the black-and-white zebra barring on the back and the red cowl, which is limited to the back of the head in females. Tolerant of humans, it is a regular visitor to feeders, favoring sunflower seed, suet, and fruit. Highly vocal, the most common call is a loud, rolling churr, less sharp than that of the similar red-headed woodpecker. They also make softer kek notes in short series, similar to the call of a flicker. Red-bellied woodpeckers have slowly extended their range north in the past fifty years and are now found to extreme southern Canada.
This structure, located among the vineyards near Criação da Velha on the Island of Pico in the Azores, is typical of homes in the region. It was built using blocks of basalt, a volcanic rock. While some structures in the area are coated with plaster and painted, this one has been left in its natural state.
Pico is known for its rich vinicultural heritage.. The vineyards surrounding Criação da Velha are part of a protected cultural landscape in Portugal and are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
.
The volcanic flow, where the vineyards grow at Criação da Velha, dates back approximately 1,500 years. The basalt blocks used to construct this house were likely sourced from local quarries on the island.
Hermitage of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in honor of the "Kyiv-Pechersk" icon of the Mother of God.
The photo shows the main temple of the hermitage in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Pecherska with the upcoming Anthony and Theodosius" (the icon of the Mother of God "Pecherska with Anthony and Theodosius standing in front of her").
Compared to the churches of the architectural ensemble of the Lavra, this church is recognizable from the outside - it resembles the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in the Far Caves and the Church of All Saints above the Economic Gate (All Saints' Church) - temples that are part of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Скит Києво-Печерської Лаври на честь ікони Богородиці «Києво-Печерська».
На світлині головний храм скиту на честь ікони Божої Матері «Печерська з предстоящими Антонієм та Феодосієм» (ікона Божої Матері «Печерська з Антонієм та Феодосієм, які стоять перед нею»).
В порівнянні з храмами архітектурного ансамблю Лаври, ззовні цей храм є впізнаваємим - нагадує церкву Різдва Богородиці на Дальніх печерах та церкву Всіх Святих над Економічною брамою (Всіхсвятська церква) — храми в складі Києво-Печерської лаври.

The Toco toucan is at home in South America's tropical forests but recognized everywhere. The toucan's oversized, colorful bill has made it one of the world's most popular birds.
The 7.5-inch-long (19-centimeter-long) bill may be seen as a desirable mating trait, but if so, it is one that both male and female toucans possess. In fact, both sexes use their bills to catch tasty morsels and pitch them to one another during a mating ritual fruit toss.
As a weapon, the bill is a bit more show than substance. It is a honeycomb of bone that actually contains a lot of air. While its size may deter predators, it is of little use in combating them.
In addition to fruit, Toco toucans eat insects and, sometimes, young birds, eggs, or lizards.
Toco toucans live in small flocks of about six birds. Toucans nest in tree holes.
Their bright colors actually provide good camouflage in the dappled light of the rain forest canopy. However, the birds commonly keep up a racket of vocalization, which suggests that they are not trying to remain hidden.
Indigenous peoples regard the bird with a more sacred eye; they are traditionally seen as conduits between the worlds of the living and the spirits.

Constantine participated at an canine beauty exposition last weekend and the location was in Toscana (Italy).
It was great!
He is a Lagotto Romagnolo dog.
This is the only breed of dog that is officially recognized as specialized in truffle hunting.
I remember snow, but I don't recall THIS snowfall, because it happened way back in 1948, seven years before I was born!
This was a scene I do recognize, though, because this was my grandparent's yard. What you really CAN'T see is that this was their driveway! The only giveaway is the tire tracks you see there. They had a big, circle drive back then, which as far back as I can remember was gravel. I learned to ride a two wheel bicycle on that driveway. It was not a fun experience.
This lovely scene was shot in East Patchogue, N.Y. (Patch-ah-g), which is on the south shore of Long Island. The house was just down the street from the bay.
Those familiar with Ansel Adams may recognize this scene.
I used a 5x7 crop instead of the original 4x5 (medium format), and include more of the land on the right side. I couldn't get on top of a van to see more river. Plus the pine tree forest is older and larger with more growth obscuring the left bend in the river, and the mountains are capped by a storm.
What a delight to follow Ansel Adams' footsteps.
It's Jean Shrimpton and Rose! Lynne (Happibug) customized these girls, and I adore them!! Thank you SO much, Lynne! And thank you for our beautiful Dollicious dressess!! We love you!
Jean Shrimpton is a PWP and Rose is a MRB; Rose is my first girl...her birthday is May 18, 2006! Soon, I will have been collecting these lovlies for two years!
This easily-recognized squirrel (Earless or Early for short) has been cutting a rather sorry figure in the yard for about three years. The sculpture was made by Mrs. Orca's grandmother c. 1960s (?), but it seems to me she must have had a paleolithic fertility aesthetic in mind. We'll see if it brings Early any luck this spring.

Everyone recognizes the woman of the left as dressed from the original Star Trek series. I have no idea about woman on the is supposed to be but they both look great!
I recognized this car from an advert I'd seen. It is still for sale: www.autotrack.nl/a/honda-accord-benzine-1986-50707223 . €5950 is all it takes. Seems like a steep price, but it looks as good as new.
Trouble recognizing? Unlike in Stephen Kings fabulous work "The Eyes of the Dragon" (no horror, but a fantasy- book!), this one is standing tall in my backyard. Its the trunk of a walnut tree.
I believe a branch was cut, so the tree formed this bizarre scar.
Probleme beim Erkennen? "Die Augen des Drachen", ein unterschätztes Werk von Stephen King (Fantasy, kein Horror!), aber hier "nur" der Stamm eines Walnussbaumes bei mir im Garten. An dieser Stelle wurde wohl mal ein Ast abgeschnitten und diese bizarre Narbe hat sich in der Rinde gebildet.
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.
Anybody recognize the guy in this pic? Comment below and also comment who he marries... lol Randomness for the day."This year for Christmas, lets give each other more practical gifts like shoes and socks."
P.S. Sry to ask, but could I get a shout out some time... I only got bout 85 followers. (>o<)
You probably have recognized that I'm kind of macro addicted lately! But I can't change it, I just love it! :D All these little animals or amazing plants make me happy! So have fun with this little beauty! I took this pic in Italy this summer!
I hope you're all still here and are happy with some of my shots. I know my postings recently were not as frequent as I wished them to be, but I will try to change that again! Cause I love sharing my photos with all of you and hear your opinions. The fun and happiness is what makes this community the best!

© All rights reservedNea Moni (Greek: Νέα Μονή, lit. "New Monastery") is an 11th century monastery on the island of Chios that has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located on the Provateio Oros Mt. in the island's interior, about 15 km from Chios town. It is well known for its mosaics, which, together with those at Daphni and Hosios Loukas, are among the finest examples of "Macedonian Renaissance" art in Greece.
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]
A close-up of head on the West Falkland
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

Sara Bareilles - She Used to Be Mine
......................................................................
"She Used To Be Mine"
It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless just enough
Who'll get hurt but
Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone but it used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine
