For several years I had a special Kookaburra friend who I called Flatty. She was the friendliest, most adorable bird I ever met. From her I learned to understand various sounds that Kookaburras make and she was able to tell me simple things through sound and body movements.
I would talk to her and sometimes we would spend long visits together, usually in silence. If a raptor was in the sky she would come to me, point out the raptor and stay close to me until the danger passed.
Ours was a very special bond, she would take food from my hand but I never touched her. One day she stopped coming and I've not seen her since. I so loved Flatty, she was a very special bird.
Several evenings this week I have been trying to photograph a leaping Wood mouse, this evening I managed to capture one in mid-air carrying a seed ... WIP.
I have several pictures from the Athabasca falls, and difficult to choose which to post. So more shots from these falls, that I visited in a period weather was getting less, but here thanks to a emerging sun, and the dark clouds, it gives an almost boiling image. Another classic along the Icefield Parkway!
From 11 June till the 25th of July 2015, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
After several years opening a store just for fun, I decided to rebrand my store not so long ago because I dislike how the old one looks like + I'm not happy with the name. I enjoy making hand drawn stuff and remembering how one of my SL sister love the old brows I made a lot, I decided to remake a better brow with this new brand as the first product I hope everyone like it!

Several of us were out on Sunday and I was the only one photographing this lady saddlebags that perched in the weeds. She's showing some wear already while a male I got in the same spot a few days ago looked fresh. She could have been a migrant that flew in and had more wear.
Weather forecast in Atlanta today: SEVERE. That's what they've been showing on the weather maps in all caps - some school systems that aren't on Spring break are closing today in anticipation. It's tornado season in the South - be safe everyone!
I had hiked up on the San Rafael Swell from Black Dragon Canyon to find my way to the Canyon of the San Juan River, which I anticipated would be well worth the hike. But it is slickrock most of the way, with no trail, no cairns. I never got there, for I spent too much time with wildflowers and generally fumbling about. The scenery was fantastic, lizards were tempting, several species of wildflowers (rose heath, stemless daisies, fishhook and claret cup and prickly pear cacti, yucca) were in bloom--no regrets whatsoever.
Several feet to the right is a hummingbird feeder that bees and birds "share" (as in fight over). As this Rufous Hummingbird was coming toward the feeder, the bee popped out from behind the post. The hummingbird wisely slammed on the brakes: bee/wasp stings can kill hummers.
Several days were spent in the Lower Bug River Valley and each day a visit from grazing cattle. After each such visit, swarms of biting flies were left behind.
The warehouse district, a district with many historic, multi-story former warehouse buildings with several canals running between them, is for me the highlight of every visit to Hamburg.
This is an absolutely magnificent sight, especially in the evening when the facades are illuminated and the light is reflected in the water. And that even when the canals only have a fraction of the usual water level, as I discovered on my last visit. On the opposite wall of the house you can clearly see where the water normally reaches.
I assume that there is some renovation work going on on the foundations of a building or that the canals are being cleaned of mud.
But luckily this doesn't damage the view. And so, at least that's my own assessment, I was able to capture some very beautiful motifs.
Die Speicherstadt, ein Stadtteil mit vielen historischen mehrgeschossigen ehemaligen Lagergäuder, zwischen denen mehrere Kanäle verlaufen, ist für mich das Highlight eines jeden Besuchs in Hamburg.
Vor allem Abends, wenn die Fassaden beleuchtet werden und sich das Licht im Wasser spiegelt ist dies ein absolut gradioser Anblick. Und das auch noch, wenn die Kanäle nur einen Bruchteil des üblichen Wasserstandes aufweisen, wie ich bei meinem letzten Besuch feststellen musste. An der gegenüber liegenden Hauswand könnt Ihr gut erkennen, bis wohin das Waser normalerweise reicht.
Ich vermute mal, dass da gerade irgendwelche Renouvierungsarbeiten an den Fundamenten eines Gebäudes stattfinden oder die Kanäle gerade vom Schlamm gereinigt werden.
Doch zum Glück nimmt dadurch der Anblick keinen Schaden. Und so hab ich, zumindest ist das meine eigene Einschätzung, ein paar sehr schöne Motive festhalten können.

Several kilometres of Paseo de la Reforma are closed to cars on Sunday leaving the lanes to cyclists, skaters and pedestrians.
Several hot springs flow into this caldera lake, resulting in beautiful mists rising at dawn after sub-zero termperatures overnight.
Several times a year, Müller-Touristik from Germany runs trains for partygoers to Alkmaar. From there, passengers are transported by bus to Egmond aan Zee. In the Netherlands, traction is usually provided by one of the four 1700s operated by Train Charter Services; on October 31, 2025, it was the 101003 (formerly NS 1775)'s turn. The passage through Tilburg is noteworthy; the normal route via 's-Hertogenbosch and Utrecht was closed due to a collision between a train and a truck carrying pears the day before. Incidentally, this weekend the beer taps were plentiful in Noordwijk aan Zee; this time, passengers transferred in Haarlem and Beverwijk.
That question was heard several times on our drive through a handful of small towns in Western Pa. on Saturday. When we told people it was a Lamborghini they all said "oh yeah". It's a lot of fun introducing people to the Aventador and seeing there reaction as our group of exotics drove by.

Several girl's names can be associated with this photo:
- Heather
- Heide (common in Germany in the 1940s)
- Erica / Erika (although there are different sources for this first name)
- Calluna (the latin botanic name, rarely used for girls)
- Lila / Pink / Rose / Rosa (just from the colour)
- Summer (sometimes used as first name in the U.S.)
I noticed some high clouds after dinner and took off towards the River in hopes of a colorful sunset. There are several benches that line the walking paths that run parallel to the river and this one at this moment had such a nice cloud formation that I had to stop and capture it.
Several Yellow legs dropped out of the sky and frantically set about bathing and rearranging their feathers before getting some shut eye
Several people have seen late Peacock butterflies this year. This one was enjoying today's warm sunshine and some late bramble flower nectar.
Several months back, my friend Brandon and I went out to Eagle Watch to see what we could find. We saw a lot of small birds, some Cormorants, and this hawk. No eagles, though. I guess that means I've got to go back another time!

still real cold arctic air, minus 20 at night, minus 15 C in the daytime, and absolutely still, no wind!
Several small flocks of shorebirds were camped out on the old Argentia airstrip yesterday, resting and warming up on the old tarmac. Several of these plovers were hunkered down in little hollows or behind tufts of grass, trying to get out of the cool wind. This deserted area is a good staging area for them before they head off across the ocean to parts south.
There were several Dusky Moorhen out on the lake this morning. This one was seemed happy to be off by herself in a small pond that led to the main lake near Brisbane.
These birds are a member of the rail family. They are not to be confused with the common moorhen which have yellow legs and a white line across their side.
Dusky moorhens do not often migrate long distances, and may remain in the same location for eight years or more. They may move to different locations within their range when resources become scarce.
These birds occurs in India, Australia, New Guinea, Borneo and Indonesia.
- Gallinula tenebrosa
There are several very light colored buzzards in the area this winter. This one has a white head and chest. It is not very shy and is easy to photograph! More to come!
Several Canadian National Railway subsidiaries squeeze their way into this shot in one form or another. The daily Toronto MacMillan Yard to Kirk Yard train M397 kicks it up a few notches upon getting its first clear signal since leaving Battle Creek on the South Bend Subdivision. Leading the way is British Columbia Railway C40-8M 4619, followed by Illinois Central SD70 1033. Last but not least, laying in the foreground is a knocked over sign from a bygone era of railroading.
Several males and females visiting the garden just now. All shots taken through double glazing, from the comfort of my recliner! Lockdown is making me lazy!
"The Golden Knights are made up of several expert teams and skilled professionals who all play a critical role in the US Army’s success. This includes parachute teams, aircraft pilots, and even those behind-the-scenes handling jump logistics. Whether jumping out of planes going 120 miles per hour from 12,500 feet or landing with expert precision, they embrace the thrill of adventure and feel proud while doing it."
I snapped this photo shortly after this freefall parachuting tandem team jumped out directly under the midday sun. With a 1000mm focal length and atmospheric haze, sharpness was not to be, but to my delight, I captured part of the sundog and its rainbow.
Needless to say, their skills were amazing!
May each one of us take inspiration this Memorial Day from the patriotism of the brave soldiers who died for our country!
Several parakeets had settled on this tree, unfortunately the zoom of the SE did not allow for sufficient clarity, but their green bodies can just be made out
Cramond Island is one of several islands in the Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh. It is an intriguing place, cut off from the mainland twice a day by the tide. In both World Wars, it was part of a network of gun batteries and searchlight stations based around the Firth of Forth to protect the naval base at Rosyth from enemy raids. Most of the buildings you can see today are from the island's time as a Second World War defence base.
In 1941, the Home Guard (a volunteer force set up to help fight the German army if it invaded) mounted a mock attack to test the island's defences. The night before the raid, volunteer Sergeant Exley crept onto the island and spent 24 hours spying on the regular soldiers, noting how they'd organised their lookouts. When his comrades landed, they knew exactly where to go - and their raid was a complete success. It's even said they caught some soldiers asleep at their guns! On the north shore of the island, you can still see the curved tracks that were part of the twin six-pounder gun installation.
The pillars between here and the island were built as part of the wartime defences. They were designed to stop motor torpedo boats sneaking past the defences by sailing between the island and the shore. Look out for slots in the sides of the pillars - they held concrete beams to create a solid wall.
Hidden in the small woodland in the centre of the island are the ruins of a small farmhouse. Part of it was rented out as a holiday cottage and after the farmer died in 1904, one family rented the whole island as a holiday retreat. They loved coming here year after year to play and relax in a little world apart.
If you'd like to explore the island, check the safe crossing times on the notice board to the right before you set off. On your way, keep to the hard concrete strip - the mudflats are very soft. Leave plenty of time to get back, because the tide comes in quickly!
Several families on the steep rock cliffs today: lesson today was finding safe passage.
Here mom let baby kid take the lead and follow closely behind. Baby kid doing so well mum decided baby kid deserved a gentle kiss and head hug. It was a heartfelt moment I was so happy to capture.
The mom had been standing firm on a rock ledge previously while baby kid explored and when baby kid went wrong way she did not follow .. so baby kid turned around. It was a wonderful moment to watch and a study in mountain goat upbringing and behaviour in real time. The fact that 3 families with kids were all participating in the same area told me this was school time.
Saw several deer moving thru the woods along the road. Managed to get shot of the fawn before it move to the others deeper in the woods. Glad it was curious enough to pause and looked directly at the camera.
Several years ago my friend found a purse of money, located the owner and returned the purse. The lady turned up at her house a few days later with a tray of Pelagoniums as a gift. Barb gave me one of them and here it is flowering again.

Painted Hills are a landscape of alternating bands of red and tan rocks,
The Painted Hills of Oregon are a part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, which, as the name implies, are home to a variety of fossils.
But finding fossils takes work. That is not the case with the Painted Hills, although you do have to travel for several miles on back-roads. That said, the drive is pretty easy.
This panorama is a composite of nine 35 Mpix photos.
Since several years acid rain is affecting that in a higher altitudes the forest is getting ill. After this bark beetles are destroying a part of the sick forest.
Several months ago I made a series of photos with a Nautilus shell. I thought I would like to see what I could do with my new camera, so here is another photo of this awesome creature.
Please help me name this photo! I am not happy with the name, and think it deserves something more appropriate.
Later:
The name chosen was "Infinity". Thanks Frazzled Jen! And thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
Several thousand pounds of calcium carbonate, carried in solution from the hot springs that bubble up through thick limestone, are deposited onto the enormous terraces each day. As the terrace complex spreads and grows, surrounding vegetation is overtaken. In this photo dead trees are seen embedded in calcium carbonate,
After several days of heavy rain, the Sava river must be about 4-5 meters above its usual level, so most of the bank trees have been flooded or even uprooted and floated downstream.
Several moons ago, a grey squirrel (some here call them 'tree rats') discovered our bird feeder and thought it would make a change from eating hazel nuts.
He was incredibly persistent trying every which-way to access the food, so that he was totally oblivious to me and my camera.
Several years ago I almost lost the shrub to fire blight. I cut it back to almost nothing to save it. It's been performing well every year; but I still have to keep my eye out for fire blight once it's done flowering. The bees transmit the blight from tree to tree as they light on the flowers.
Several bridges cross the Rhine in Cologne. They are (from South to North): the Cologne Rodenkirchen Bridge, South Bridge (railway), Severin Bridge, Deutz Bridge, Hohenzollern Bridge (railway), Zoo Bridge (Zoobrücke) and Cologne Mülheim Bridge. There is no WIkipedia entry for the Severin Bridge.
Several years ago the great field of dandelions gave me the idea to try making dandelion wine. I'm finally following through this spring. He's always a willing helper. Harvesting and processing them turned out to be remarkably easy -- less fiddly, say, than picking strawberries or pealing peaches. I'm more of a big picture planner person while he likes prcoesses, but in this case it delighted both of us.
