Great weather for ducks today!! This little lady seemed very happy warming her feathers in the sun and soaking her feet in the shallow still water. Hopefully our weather today is going to be a little blip!
Hope you have a lovely day whatever the weather my flickr friends!!
With the weather finally drying up for an hour we took a walk around the nature reserve at St Aidans yesterday. Bird photography was generally tough on account of the lack of birds and also the distance they seemed to keep from the public paths. One brief exception was this male kestrel which was spotted at the far end off the reserve. Alas a young mother and her noisy toddler put an end to any hopes I had of getting any closer.
This image is cropped a good deal.
I think this is a male Costa's hummingbird. I say, "I think" because its not the normal royal purple color of a Costa's gorget. But I put several photos of this guy from multiple angles into Merlin and it comes back Costa's every time. But Merlin can be wrong so if anyone can tell me for sure that its and Anna's I'd be willing to listen. Regardless, he's a pretty boy.
"Sitting" by Sophie Ryder, one of our favourite pieces at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Happy Monochrome Thursday and 64/100 in monochrome
Lovely little robin in Kensington Gardens. The small birds are a lot easier to photograph now a lot of the leaves have gone.
It is painful for me to think that within a year this fox, and others on Island Beach State Park, were exterminated by gun-slinging, hunt-happy authorities who don’t deserve their positions. There is no excuse but there should be responsibility and accountability. When our natural places are mismanaged, those responsible should pay financially and with jail time. Sitting pretty in their government backed positions should not provide them with protection from prosecution. #RedFoxes

Two shots of the Hoopoe suddenly stopping feeding when it realised so many people were watching & then sat down & watched them. This morning Wighton Norfolk
This image of the Red Billed Hornbill was taken on our recent trip to Etosha, Namibia. There are several species of hornbills found in this area. The African Grey, the Southern Billed Hornbill, Bradfield's Hornbill and then The Red Billed Hornbill. All are very beautiful and quite a large bird and always a thrill to see.
Wishing you the beginning of a beautiful and blessed week !!
Agnes: Alright guys, I think this may have gone too far.
Bruno: What do you mean gone too far? You're sitting right beside me.
Agnes: I mean this book. I'm not entirely comfortable with attention from people beyond my core group.
Bruno: That may be the craziest thing that you've ever said. Attention from random strangers is great. They all love me.
Eva: I think the book looks great. It captures my true spirit - intelligent, beautiful and humble.
Bruno: I take excellence to that.
Eva: Don't you mean "exception to that"?
Bruno: Nope. Definitely excellence to that. I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: Sometimes I don't think you hear yourself.
Bruno: Sometimes I hear too much of you. And hey - who's that handsome dog sitting on that hill in the placemat?
Agnes: Dude, it's you!
Bruno: I knew that. Because he's handsome and I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: And also, it's a page proof from the book - not a placemat.
Bruno: I disagree. It's a placemat because anything that you put food on is a placemat. So I'm just going to sit here and stare until someone puts a big pile of cookies down on it.

This is an exciting time. For about the past year and a half I have been working on a book of dogversattions. It is now so close to done that it is starting to feel real.
There will be two versions of the book. On the table are page proofs of an interior page, the cover (partly hidden) and a 'test print' of the premium version which is landscape format and on glossy paper. This will be the version that I am getting a print run on with 1,000 copies being shipped to me later this week. I have arrangements to sell this through a couple of local book stores and the University of Saskatchewan. A portion of the UofS sales will be donated to the vet college companion fund to pay for treatments of animals in need.
Because of printing and general distribution costs of this version would be too high, we are also putting together a smaller square format non-glossy version that will be available through on-line sellers such as Amazon and be available to be stocked in physical book stores around the world.
More information will be on my website in the next couple of weeks. www.DogversationsBook.com
And by the way - Bruno was mostly right about the placemat. There was a motivational cheerio on the book that I cloned out in post-processing.

audio-visuelle Installation "future memories"
von Heike Schlemmer und Vinicius Giusti
"Kiel als Hafenstadt verbindet verschiedene Orte.
Menschen und Materialien kommen und gehen. Kamen und werden kommen.
Erinnerungen an das Gewesene formen die Zukunft.
Die Hörn als klare Grenze von Wasser zu Land, als Ort, an dem Menschen ankommen und verreisen ist zugleich Bindeglied und Trennungslinie von Ost- und Westufer.
Dieser Teil der Stadt, der früher belebter war und aktiv als Handelshafen genutzt wurde, wird visuell mit weichen organischen Formen bespielt.
An jedem Tag des Frequenz__ Festivals wird ein Teil der Bodenfläche an der Hörn in einem performativen Akt visuell durch farbige Flächen verändert.
Täglich werden Elemente der farbigen Plakatierungen entfernt und durch Neue ersetzt und ergänzt.
Gleichzeitig ist über Kopfhörer eine akustische Komposition zu hören, die aus Geräuschen und Tönen von Menschen besteht, die sich durch diesen Teil der Stadt bewegt haben."
(zitiert aus dem Programm des Festivals)
I was going to report this Fox to the RSPCA because it looked injured and then it just limped off into the next field.
Stenson Fields, Derby.
I was sitting with her on her bed, ostensibly to read with her. She couldn't settle to the book - there were too many things to talk to me about! I did get a chance to snap this corner of her room when she was searching for a picture to show me.
waiting for treats on her fav spot!

The interior of the New Palace was furnished mostly in the European style. The New Palace was built in the latter half of the 19th century during the French colonial period and was a blend of European and Vietnamese styles and motifs. The imperial family resided here until the 1940s up to when the revolution began that eventually forced out the French in the 1950s. Located inside the imperial stronghold called the Citadel in Hue, Vietnam, the New Palace is one of many structures.
