A Song Sparrow found a suitable rock to perch on. The only thing missing was the concert. It just stood there and watched the other sparrows nearby forage.
Sea urchins on the rock, just by the shore :) Taken on our favourite beach near Primošten (Croatia).
Sea urchins are small, spiny sea creatures of the class Echinoidea found in oceans all over the world. (The name urchin is an old name for the round spiny hedgehogs sea urchins resemble.) Their shell, which is also called the "test", is globular in shape and covered with spines. The size of an adult test is typically from 3 to 10 cm.
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes starfish, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and move by means of hundreds of tiny, transparent, adhesive "tube feet". The pentamerous symmetry is not obvious at a casual glance but is easily seen in the dried shell or test of the urchin.

Jeżowce na skałce, tuż przy brzegu. Zdjęcie robione na naszej ulubionej plaży niedaleko Primošten w Chorwacji :)
Jeżowce – gromada morskich zwierząt zaliczanych do typu szkarłupni (Echinodermata), charakteryzujących się kulistym, mniej lub bardziej spłaszczonym, różnorodnie ubarwionym ciałem gęsto pokrytym wapiennymi, ruchomo osadzonymi kolcami. Zamieszkują strefę denną wód słonych o zasoleniu powyżej 20‰ wszystkich stref geograficznych kuli ziemskiej. Większość gatunków występuje w strefie tropikalnej i subtropikalnej. Przeciętnie osiągają 3–10 cm średnicy. Ciało jeżowca chronią kolce, między którymi schronienie znajdują drobne ryby, mięczaki i skorupiaki. Kolce wraz z nóżkami ambulakralnymi pełnią funkcje lokomotoryczne. Jeżowce regularne kroczą z ich pomocą po dnie lub drążą jamy. Inne używają ich do zakotwiczenia się na dnie. Jeżowce są zwierzętami wszystkożernymi. Zjadają głównie drobne bezkręgowce, rośliny oraz detrytus. Są też wśród nich oczyszczające morza gatunki mułożerne.

Known as the Rock Pigeon, Rock Dove or the Common Pigeon. These birds are found in most cities of the world. Their main diet in the cities is human junk food.

This clock is filled with gold, silver and precious stones. It's hanging on the wall in the living room and was hand made in Canada by a friend.
Rock Island 57185 ( BLT. 11-51 ) at Blue Island, Illinois on July 12, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The trust information stenciled on the upper left of this car was almost readable, I believe it read:
United States Railway Equipment Co. Lessor Title To This Car Subject To Document Recorded Under Sect. 20-0 Of Interstate Commerce Act
I photographed this Rock Wren at the exact same location as the Canyon Wren. This is only the second I've seen. Both birds photographed in Grand Forks.
The Rock Shag (aka Magellanic Cormorant) occurs only around the coasts of Southern South America and the Falklands. It feeds in shallow coastal waters so tends not to occur in the open seas. I always found them to be much scarcer than Blue-eyes (aka Imperial) Shags which occur in the same areas. There didn't seem to be that many good photographs on the internet so I thought I would upload one. I photographed this one at Punta Arenas in Chile.
I'm really not sure about this image. For me it's lacking some drama, leading lines et cetera. Why post? Well, again I'm not sure, maybe it's just me being over critical but my primary reason in deciding to post is because of all the effort it took to get there, and to be honest due to the lack of tide and movement, it's about all I could get before I got cut off by the incoming tide further up the beach.
Better on Flickeflu (Just click the link below).
NO BANNERS PLEASE.
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the newest sport: ROCK-GLIDING. I'm sure this will catch up quickly ;-)
You're reading correctly: the great blue heron in the photo is a glideator*, not a gladiator ;-)
Have a great week everyone!
Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek), also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is a sea stack in Pafos, Cyprus. The combination of the beauty of the area and its status in mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite makes it a popular tourist location.
Legend whispers that a local bar was not doing too well in the seventies, and tourists where not flocking to this beautiful beach in the same numbers as earleir years. in order to restore his fortunes he named one of the rocks as Aphrodite's birth place...........................business has never looked up since.

Not a rock in sight, but its one of my favorite Queen songs!
Taken when I was at the DEVELOP conference in Brighton this week.
Processed using a new workflow that I'm playing with... A bit long winded still, but the results are quite appealing (well... I'm liking what I see).
I need to kill a bit of the grainyness, but enjoy...
