From Ranganathittu bird sanctuary, Mandya, Karnataka
Pls view in light box- press L or click on the image
Ranganathittu lies just beyond Tipu's Srirangapatna and is, basically, a group of islands in the middle of river Cauvery.
One's first impression of the place is lush thickets of bamboo and bird sound — chirruping, twittering, and cooing... a wonderful experience for a city-dweller.

A Pika rests in the warm morning sun high up above the tree line. Making its home in the jumble of rocks and boulders in the alpine region of the rocky mountains, safety is always a quick dash away under some crevice and away from danger.

Looking north from the southern shore of Loch Leven.
As you can probably tell, it's not the freshwater Loch Leven in Perthshire but the sea loch next to Ballaculish in the Highlands.
I recently discovered that the v in Leven is apparently silent - the correct pronunciation is Li'un. I don't know about you but that came as a bit of a shock to me.
Take off your shoes, sit on the sand for a while, take a deep breath and smile. There is still a long way to go...
Around 930am this morning I looked out the back window and saw this fox resting at the back edge of the yard. I have seen her off and on in the past year but have not been able to get any good images of her since this past Spring/Summer. These were taken through glass out the back garage door.

It was so nice to just sit here and watch the birds for a while yesterday afternoon. So often I have all my camera gear with me and I get caught up in taking photos rather than sitting back and enjoying the birds. I really must do this more often.
Another shot from my walk on the Cahore Point Trail. Lovely golden beach and a stairs leading up to the trail. A couple wisely taking a rest and enjoying the waves before tackling the climb.
A Giraffe having a rest - - I think this is the Reticulated Giraffe based on its markings - - location doesn't help in this case because this is a group of giraffes being re-introduced into the Senegal area

Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

Get it? Rest your laurels? As in, sit down? But "laurels," you know? Flower? Because it's a garden? Because it's a double entendre?
Times like this, I have to assume I only amuse myself.
Chilean Flamingo resting in the sunshine. Taken at the Calgary Zoo. Would love to see one in the wild - but in the interim the zoo provides a nice safe spot to walk around and practice with the camera in January.
Only a few hours to go and we have a long weekend here in the UK. After a hectic month I've never been so excited about having 3 days off! Monday is known as the 'late summer bank holiday' and it typically involves lots of rain, wind, and turning on the central heating....but maybe we'll be lucky this year!
Not much to say about the photo...just a dandelion on the ground in the garden....simplicity.
Enjoy the weekend whatever you're doing :)
I noticed these flies just shutting down on these grasses and getting ready for the night as the late afternoon sun made a nice glow on the pond. These are the same kind of fly that I saw preying on mayflies earlier. Happy Fly Day everyone.
