When I saw the report that the Leucistic Bald Eagle made an appearance in the morning I knew I had to take my chances at this super rare raptor. I left at 4a.m. and drove two hours South. I had to wait for the sun to rise, but found him immediately crunching bones from a fish he was holding down on the mudflats. Shortly after he perched just above us next to the walking trail. Still no light but extremely close. He was very calm as he did not flinch when a jogger came by. He flew to this Eucalyptus several times and perched calmly for several minutes. The light was starting to filter through the leaves in the background as this majestic beauty posed for us. It was a very awe inspiring experience I will never forget. We had a solid two hours to photograph him that morning. He eventually flew off into the distance and we were admiring and reflecting on this one of a kind beauty.

Maybe wider by the minute . . . We knew when we rescued her that it was likely kittens were on the way. Holly is thriving and very happy to be safe here with us! We love her and can manage whatever comes! ❤️

shot these without realizing they're my new nemesis and my old best friend. love grapes, especially as wine and homemade grape jelly, but they're toxic to dogs (sorry, more dog stuff). those the birds haven't eaten are now all over the ground. hound boy doesn't miss a thing.
For the non-Australian's the Royal Commission investigating the Federal Robodebt Scheme handed down it's final, damning report. The report covers the politicians, public servants and architects of the automated debt collection scheme that was fundamentally illegal and mathematically flawed. It targeted approx 500,000 of the nations poorest people. Finally there is hope of justice with a sealed section being sent to the newly commissioned National Anti-Corruption Commission. If you want to read how ideology got in the way of good public policy see here: robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/2023-07/repo.... Here's hoping politicians on all sides take heed. As to truth in politics, I'm still being disappointed by much of the debates on a whole range of important topics.
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.
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 18
The terrace of a Rorbu cabin afforded a wonderful view west across Offersøystraumen to Leknes. The Space Weather App had predicted favorable conditions for aurora sightings, and just after 8 p.m. a green band stretched across the sky. In the excitement we didn't have time to turn off the cabin light and so the rocks in the foreground - partly submerged - are illuminated by the light from the Rorbu cabin.
The shot didn't require any special editing tricks in post-processing. I basically just used my default raw processing settings in Lightroom with a small increase in brightness and clarity (although the rocks in the foreground required special attention to bring out the details). There was no change of colors.

Before posting this photo I was stumbling about a long report of Siena. A female lion, part of the Marsh Pride Lions, who was a star of the TV show BBC’s Big Cat Diary since 1996. A group of lions were accompanied by the BBC team over many years. 2014 Siena got badly injured by a buffalo attack and the healing process (it took over one year because the wound always opened again) where documented by the Wildlife veterinarians who are doing great jobs in the National Parks by the way, caring and take care of the animals when injured. Sadly Siena and other members of the group passed away in 2015. Local farmers poisoned them.
So this photo dedicated this pround animals and in memory of Siena and the other lions.
For those who are interested. Write "The Marsh Pride of Lions" on Facebook and you'll find a site about the lions.
Compositionally Challenged Week 29 - Pick a Challenge - Week 5/2022 Weather Report
Yesterday we were awakened at 5am with a very loud and bright lightning/rain storm. The storms rolled in and out all day, a welcome relief from the summer heat. : )
Winter close to Bromma Airport on January 11, 2021.
"A picture says more than a thousand words" and you can all see how shitty the winter weather was mid-afternoon yesterday...
Quiet lakes and wetlands come alive with the breezy whistle of the American Wigeon, a dabbling duck with pizzazz. Breeding males have a green eye patch and a conspicuous white crown, earning them the name "bald plate." Females are brushed in warm browns with a gray-brown head and a smudge around the eye. Noisy groups congregate during fall and winter, plucking plants with their short goose-like bill from wetlands and fields or nibbling plants from the water's surface. Despite being common, their populations are declining. The best time to see American Wigeons in the Lower 48 is from August through April. The oldest American Wigeon reported was at least 21 years and 4 months old. (allaboutbirds.org)
Saw this dazzling duck at Irvine Park, in southern California.
Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments. They are truly appreciated...
