We had some time to kill so we stopped by this great little park that resides in Colorado Springs. It had been raining on and off for the better part of the day and after resolving ourself to a night in the car so we spent the rest of the day exploring. As well as an amazing geological spectacle, it has a fascinating history that spans back eons.
The human history of the Garden of the Gods commences many centuries before our present time. Stone hearths and fire rings found in the Garden dating over 3000 years ago indicate the presence of early inhabitants, According to Ute traditions, their people have always lived in this area, and were known to winter in the Garden of the Gods.
It's no wonder they were drawn to this magical place.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everyone :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
This rescued bird, injured and unable to return to the wild, resides at the Houston Audubon Society's Raptor and Education Center.
living among the rocks in the open tundra, a 'short eared' relative of the rabbit, pika's reside in asia and north america....cute little guys to observe, moving and storing food constantly preparing for winter...
Saw this magnificent grey wolf residing at the time I took this photo at the Alaskan Wildlife Conversation Center, in Alaska obvs. It's the closest I've been to a wolf in the wild and even from a distance they looked proud and intelligent and amazing.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research and quality animal care.
I don't want to alarm you, but some people close to me say that once a month, on the full moon, I look a bit like this. (That's the Halloween scary bit for those in parts of the world that celebrate it ;)
There are places on Earth you wish you could float through so that one does not touch or destroy the beauty of it all.
This green treasure trove resides at Mount Taranaki, New Zealand.
Es gibt Orte auf der Erde, durch die man am liebsten schweben möchte, um die Schönheit des Ganzen nicht zu berühren oder zu zerstören. Diese grüne Schatztruhe findet man an den Hängen des Vulkans Taranaki in Neuseeland.
Downy Woodpecker (male).
A sparrow-sized woodpecker at 6 inches in length. Black and white with the males only having a small red patch on the nape of the head. Similar to Hairy Woodpeckers but tamer and smaller and with a short stubby bill.
Its habitat includes woodlands, parks and gardens.
It resides from Alaska across Canada and south throughout the United States except the southwest.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
In this large sea cave, a colony of Steller sea lions permanently resides and California sea lions also winter here. Waves from the open sea continually come splashing into the cave. The sea lions spend time here hauled out on rocks to rest and find shelter from winter storms. Many birds also inhabit the cave system.
An elevator has been built to take visitors down into the cave, where a single, carefully fenced-off viewpoint allows this incredible glimpse into another world! It is totally magical!
Between the crashing waves and the constant barking of the sea lions, the sound was deafening in this echoing cavern, and so whatever sound came from the human visitors was completely drowned out and became irrelevant. I was glad to come away with the impression that the wild sea lions really didn't seem bothered by the tourism activity.
In the northwest San Juans east of the small town of Ridgway resides a lonely tower: Chimney Rock (also sometimes called Chimney Peak, 11,781 feet).
In the late afternoon we left the Silverjack reservoir back to Ridgway. From Owl Creek Pass Road (Ouray County Road 8), we saw through the forest as the last rays of the sun made the mountain massif glow. Unfortunately there was only a clear view of the Chimney Rock in a curve, but enough to make a few last pictures of it to capture the experience.

Inuksuit (the plural of Inuksuk) serve in a spiritual capacity to indicate a place where life is renewed or where spirits reside; where judgements or decisions are made or where celebrations and festivals are held. Traditionally, they were used by the Inuit in the north as directional markers. An Inukshuk in the shape of a person signifies safety, hope and friendship. These stone sculptures were also important for navigation, as a point of reference, as a marker for hunting grounds, or to denote a food cache.
~ We can observe the Black Tusk too here : The Black Tusk is a stratovolcano and a pinnacle of volcanic rock in Garibaldi Provincial Park of British Columbia, Canada. At 2,319 m above sea level, the upper spire is visible from a great distance in all directions.
Les Inuksuit (le pluriel de Inuksuk) servent dans une capacité spirituelle pour indiquer un endroit où la vie est renouvelée ou où les esprits résident ; où les jugements ou les décisions sont prises ou où les célébrations et les festivals ont lieu. Un Inukshuk en forme de personne signifie sécurité, espoir et amitié. Ces sculptures en pierre étaient également importantes pour la navigation, comme point de référence, comme marqueur de terrains de chasse ou pour indiquer une cache de nourriture
~ Le Black Tusk ( apercu au loin) est un stratovolcan et un pinacle de roche volcanique dans le parc provincial Garibaldi en Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. À 2 319 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer, la flèche supérieure est visible de très loin dans toutes les directions.
Untertags halten sich die meisten Waldkäuze in Baumhöhlen auf. In der Dämmerung fliegen sie dann los zur Beutejagd.
Die große Schwierigkeit ist für jeden interessierten Fotografen das Auffinden des Schlafplatzes. Sogar wenn man weiß, in welchem Gebiet der Kauz haust, muss man Glück und Ausdauer haben um den Vogel zu entdecken.
Bei diesem Kauzfoto war es einfacher, den Vogel ausfindig zu machen, da auch schon Fotografen vor Ort waren und ihn ins Visier nahmen.
The cave dweller
During the day, most tawny owls stay in tree hollows. At dusk they fly off to hunt for prey.
The big difficulty for every interested photographer is to find the roosting place. Even if you know in which area the owl resides, you have to be lucky and persistent to spot the bird.
It was easier to spot the bird in this oddball photo, as photographers were already on site and had it in their sights.
La beauté du Colorado Provençal réside dans le fait que le site a été créé à la fois par la nature et par les hommes : les ocriers.
À Rustrel, l’exploitation a commencé à la fin du XIXe s. Les ocriers ont alors éventré la terre pour arracher les précieux pigments déclinant mille couleurs et donnant naissance à des paysages aux formes fantastiques.
The beauty of Colorado Provençal lies in the fact that the site was created both by nature and by men: the ocher trees.
In Rustrel, mining began at the end of the 19th century. The ocriers then tore open the earth to tear off the precious pigments declining a thousand colors and giving birth to landscapes with fantastic shapes.
Poogy, resides in an abandoned pond near my house.
Don't know if Poogy is he/she or it but I think the name, I gave her, suits her nicely.
Sometimes, when I visit her, I'm thinking.......if I kiss Poogy, will she turn to a gorgeous princess with big.......eyes?
So we can fall in love, get married, have lots and lots of children and live happily ever after......Amen.
C'mon people, daydreaming is free, you know..........

The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is abbreviated to just the eagle-owl in Europe It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), with males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts. The orange eyes are distinctive.
Eurasian eagle-owls are found in many habitats, but are mostly birds of mountainous regions or other rocky areas, often those near varied woodland edge and shrubby areas with openings or wetlands to hunt a majority of their prey. Additionally, they inhabit coniferous forests, steppes, and other areas at varied elevations that are typically relatively remote.
The eagle-owl is mostly a nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species. Predominantly, their diet is composed of small mammals such as rodents and rabbits, but they also prey on larger mammals and birds of varying sizes. Other secondary prey can include reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates.
In addition to being one of the largest living species of owl, the Eurasian eagle-owl is also one of the most widely distributed. With a total range in Europe and Asia of about 32 million km2 (12 million sq mi) and a total population estimated to be between 250,000 and 2.5 million.
The IUCN lists the bird's conservation status as being of least concern. - Wikipedia.

The Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) resides at Circle B Bar Reserve from about January until April each winter. This little guy was munching on the seeds that are visible in the picture. The bush had no leaves but foreground twigs can be seen in his wing area. He measures only about 5 1/4 inches from beak-tip to tail-tip. Definitely one of the prettier birds we come across.
Snowbowl resides on the San Francisco Peaks, a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain, which are held as sacred to 13 different Native American tribes in the region. These tribes include the Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Yavapai, Hopi, and other Native Nations. To date, they have lost all lawsuits they had filed to stop further development and expansion of this alpine ski resort.
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Great Kiskadee is a large and strikingly colored flycatcher that inhabits much of Central and South America. Great Kiskadees reside in a variety of habitats from forest edges to grasslands to busy residential areas. These birds can often been seen hawking insects from an open perch or dropping to the ground feeding on insects and small reptiles.

Normally resides on the kitchen window cill but it was such a wonderful day I felt sorry for it and took it outside for a photoshoot.
The orchids were not harmed in the shoot.
Il faut parfois faire preuve d'imagination et ruser pour attirer ce grand timide d'oiseau qui réside souvent à couvert , pas de secret et c'est par le gosier qu'il faut le séduire . Une vielle branche fera l'affaire , une perceuse sans fil armée d'une bonne mèche à bois et faire quelques cavités pour y mettre discrètement les noisettes décortiquées ou les glands , ensuite se planquer et surveiller de loin si la cantine a du succès et si le piège fonctionne , c'est juste une question de patience car tôt ou tard il y aura toujours des clients ( Geai , Sittelle , Mésange , Pic etc .... )
PS : toute demande de partage avec un groupe sera rejetée sur le champ , je ne désire aucune publicité sur mon travail ( j'ai largement passé l'âge de recevoir des Oscars , des Bons Points et autres gamineries de ce genre ....) , merci de votre compréhension .
***************************************************************
Sometimes you have to be imaginative and cunning to attract this shy, large bird who often resides in cover, no secret, and it is by the throat that it must be seduced. An old branch will do the trick, a cordless drill armed with a good wood drill bit and make some cavities to discreetly put the shelled hazelnuts or acorns, then hide and watch from afar if the canteen is successful and if the trap works, it's just a question of patience because sooner or later there will always be customers (Jay, Nuthatch, Chickadee, Woodpecker etc ...)
PS: any request to share with a group will be rejected immediately, I do not want any publicity on my work (I have largely passed the age of receiving Oscars, Good Points and other nonsense of this kind .... ) , thank you for your understanding
When I was very small, all English gardens in suburbia followed - or seemed to - follow the same plan.
Borders to the side, a large lawn area and a path to the end of the garden where either a shed or a green house (or both) would reside.
A walk around my area proves this not to be the case today, with so many sadly under concrete.

Uhu (Bubo bubo) - Eurasian eagle-owl
Der Uhu (Bubo bubo) ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung der Uhus (Bubo), die zur Ordnung der Eulen (Strigiformes) gehört. Der Uhu ist die größte Eulenart. Uhus haben einen massigen Körper und einen auffällig dicken Kopf mit Federohren. Die Augen sind orangegelb. Das Gefieder weist dunkle Längs- und Querzeichnungen auf. Brust und Bauch sind dabei heller als die Rückseite.
Der Uhu ist ein Standvogel, der bevorzugt in reich strukturierten Landschaften jagt. In Mitteleuropa brütet die Art vor allem in den Alpen sowie den Mittelgebirgen, daneben haben Uhus hier in den letzten Jahrzehnten aber auch das Flachland wieder besiedelt. Die Brutplätze finden sich vor allem in Felswänden und Steilhängen und in alten Greifvogelhorsten, seltener an Gebäuden oder auf dem Boden.
Beschreibung
Der Uhu ist die größte rezente Eulenart der Erde. Weibchen sind deutlich größer als Männchen (reverser Geschlechtsdimorphismus). Von Südwesten nach Nordosten zeigt die Art entsprechend der Bergmannschen Regel eine deutliche Größen- und Gewichtszunahme. Männchen aus Norwegen erreichen im Durchschnitt eine Körperlänge von 61 cm und wiegen zwischen 1800 und 2800 g, im Mittel 2450 g. Norwegische Weibchen haben im Durchschnitt eine Körperlänge von 67 cm und wiegen 2300 bis 4200 g, im Mittel 2990 g. Vögel aus Thüringen wiegen im Mittel 1890 g (Männchen), bzw. 2550 g (Weibchen). Die schwersten mitteleuropäischen Uhuweibchen wogen 3200 g. Der Größenunterschied zwischen Männchen und Weibchen zeigt sich auch bei der Flügelspannweite. Die Spannweite der Männchen beträgt durchschnittlich 157 cm, die der Weibchen 168 cm.
Der Kopf ist groß und hat auffallend lange Federohren. Diese stehen normalerweise schräg seitlich oder nach hinten ab. Der Uhu besitzt auch den für Eulen typischen Gesichtsschleier, der allerdings weniger stark ausgeprägt ist als beispielsweise bei der Waldohreule oder Schleiereule.
Das Körpergefieder ist in Mitteleuropa ein helles Braun mit dunkler Längs- und Querstreifung. Der Rücken ist dabei dunkler als der Bauch, auch die Flügelunterseiten sind heller befiedert. Die einzelnen Unterarten des Uhus unterscheiden sich in ihrer Körpergröße sowie in der Grundfärbung ihres Gefieders.

Eurasian eagle-owl
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_eagle-owl
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl.[3] It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller.[4] This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker colour. The facial disc is not very visible and the orange eyes are distinctive.
The Eurasian eagle-owl is one of the largest living species of owl as well as one of the most widely distributed.[5] The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations. The nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals. These hatch at different times. The female incubates the eggs and broods the young, and the male provides food for her and, when they hatch, for the nestlings as well. Continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months.[6] There are at least a dozen subspecies of Eurasian eagle-owl.[7]
With a total range in Europe and Asia of about 32 million square kilometres (12 million square miles) and a total population estimated to be between 250 thousand and 2.5 million, the IUCN lists the bird's conservation status as being of "least concern".[8] The vast majority of eagle-owls live in mainland Europe, Russia and Central Asia, and an estimated number of between 12 and 40 pairs are thought to reside in the United Kingdom as of 2016, a number which may be on the rise.[9] Tame eagle-owls have occasionally been used in pest control because of their size to deter large birds such as gulls from nesting.
Yeah OK, maybe not quite the bridge for a Troll to reside under, but hey, this was pretty close to the purple elephant and his dog, so you never know... :)
If you like shooting deer (with your camera!), the Woburn Abbey Deer Park is the place to be. 7 different species so literally hundreds of deer roaming in herds throughout this large grassed and forested area. These are Manchurian Sika Deer (Cervus nippon mantchuricus or Cervus nippon dybowskii) which are one of several non-native to the UK species that reside there.
Downy Woodpecker (male).

A few birds keep playing (and residing) on a tree right outside my window. This Myna us one of those. It gives me company all day as I keep working on my desk next to this window.
As I mentioned in the last post Bell Rock depicted here resides next to Courthouse Butte so this shot logically follows my last, speaking of logic have a gander at the people high up on this monument. While the grey day made for a great photos it also was on the verge of rain and these intrepid climbers seem oblivious to the fact that water makes for a bad climbing buddy. This 500+ foot climb is easy going up, so much so that people find themselves in predicaments on the way down they never intended while making the climb up.
I took this on Dec 23rd, 2019 with my D750 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 35mm, 1/40s, f10 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,and DXO Nik

Miniature Pinwheel mushrooms (Marasmius sp.) residing on the forest floor celebrate the autumn rains by becoming re-hydrated from their desiccated state and resuming the release of spores.
These durable mushrooms are unusual in that the release of spores is dependent on high moisture levels.

This pair of Egyptian Geese reside in my local park and usually produce a good clutch of eggs/goslings each year.
I heard that they'd brought the newly hatched goslings over from the nesting site on an island in the middle of the lake, to the area where visitors walk. This is a risky move as people enter the park with their dogs at this point (some not on a lead) and the male swan (we only have one pair) is very protective and territorial when his mate is currently sitting on her nest.
Sadly there were initially ten yesterday, but only seven on my count this morning.
I went to the park early hoping to find them. When I arrived Mum was keeping them all warm. Then 2 dogs arrived across the water inlet where they were and this disturbed them. Thankfully another visitor was feeding them with seeds so I got some good photos.

UN LIEU SANS NOM
La beauté du monde ne réside pas uniquement dans ces lieux grandioses qui nous émerveillent tous.
Ses plus belles et touchantes manifestations se révèlent souvent à nous dans ces simples harmonies naturelles sans prétention, que l’on trouve souvent dans des lieux sans nom, à l’écart des chemins les plus fréquentés.
Et c’est là, loin de la foule et du bruit incessant du monde, que nous pouvons entendre et ressentir, dans sa plus simple expression, la musique de nos origines.
Patrice
—————————————————————————-
A PLACE WITH NO NAME
The beauty of the world lies not only in these grandiose places that amaze us all.
The most beautiful and touching manifestations are often revealed to us in these simple unpretentious natural harmonies, which are often found in places without a name, away from the busiest roads.
And it is there, far from the crowds and the incessant noise of the world, that we can hear and feel, in its simplest expression, the music of our origins.

While many species of dove live in Florida, the mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) is the only dove species native to the state.
Many dove species that reside in Florida, while not native, are state and federally protected, including the common ground dove (Zenaida passerina), Inca dove (Columbina inca), Key West quail-dove (Geotrygon chrysie), ruddy quail-dove (Geotrygon Montana), scaly-naped pigeon (Columba squamosa), white-winged dove (Zenaida asiatica), white-crowned pigeon (Columbina leucocephala) and Zenaida dove (Zenaida aurita). There are also other species of dove residing in Florida that are not protected and considered exotics in the United States; examples include the diamond dove (Geopelia cuneate), ringed turtle dove (Streptopelia risoria), rock dove or common pigeon (Columba livia), and Eurasian collared or ring-necked dove (Streptopelia decaocto).
Mourning doves can be found throughout southern Canada, all of the U.S. and Central America, and most of the Caribbean Islands. Found throughout Florida, the greatest numbers of mourning doves appear to be in the central portion of the state. Florida populations increase during the winter months, when the resident population is supplemented by birds migrating in from the north. During the past 40 years, dove populations have remained relatively stable in the eastern U.S., with a 1% increase during the last 10 years. In Florida, dove populations increased by 2% during the past 40 years, but decreased slightly (2%) during the last 10 years. Throughout the U.S., the number of dove hunters and birds harvested annually has been declining. Hunting, which typically takes 10-15% of the fall population, does not appear to be a significant problem for doves or an important factor in population declines. The primary reason for declines in many dove populations is the loss and degradation of breeding and foraging habitat.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph this Common Potoo. They reside in Central and South America. Their call is loud and distinctive and quite funny in a way. It’s like a descending scale of “Who-who-who-who”. They are known to mimic the stumps or branches where they perch, and sometimes turn their bill upward to further camouflage their presence. Unlike the one pictured here, I read that they select perches that match the diameter of their body. I wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity but for the kindness of a Costa Rican homeowner who saw us prowling the night looking for owls. He suddenly opened his fence and beckoned us in to get some pictures. (Nyctibius griseus) (Sony a1, 40mm f/2.8 at f/4, handheld at 1/250 second and ISO 640, flash)
One of the many wonders of Colorado Springs, beautiful Cheyenne Mountain sits just south of Pikes Peak. Deep within this mountain resides the North American Aerospace Defense Command, aka NORAD, whose missions include aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America.
On my way home from a meeting, the timing was ideal to capture a sunset. This is part of Davis Bay in the District of Sechelt where I live. I was traveling from Gibsons which is approximately 25 minutes away and knew that clouds were on the horizon.
Sometimes knowing where you live and the conditions present, can put you in a favourable position to catch what you are looking for. Enormous tree trunks that have wondered from log booms, dot the shoreline. At high tide, they dominate the shoreline and prove to frame this sunset image in a pleasing manner.
